Untitled[edit]

I'll go back and review my copy again, it has been a while, but as I learned it On The Soul was a direct commentary on Aristotle's De Anima, and not a pure original work. Although that is a bit of a funny thing to say I realize. --Domhail 07:52, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I added Sharples commentary and translation of De Fato, and will add something of Alexander on Chance and Necessity. Cmsreview (talk) 14:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Dark Band of Alexander" around the rainbow[edit]

The dark zone between the outer edge of the (main) rainbow and the inner edge od the secondary rainbow ist namend - at least in German: "Alexanders dunkles Band": See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_von_Aphrodisias . --Helium4 (talk) 17:31, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and this is mentioned at Alexander_of_Aphrodisias#Influence with a link to Alexander's band. Wareh (talk) 13:23, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Which Aphrodisias?[edit]

The doubt raised in footnote 1 has now surely been put to rest by the inscription referred to in footnotes 6 and 7? --Northutsire (talk) 09:02, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good point - might as well remove the outdated footnote, rather than leave it in the page as an example of what people once didn't know about him. Pasicles (talk) 19:23, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
