Andronicus of Rhodes

 

Andronicus of Rhodes

Andronicus of Rhodes (c. 70 B.C.), was the eleventh scholarch
of the Peripatetics. His chief work was the arrangement of
the writings of Aristotle and Theophrastus with materials
supplied to him by Tyrannion. Before his time, Aristotle's dialogues were widely known, but his treatises had been lost in obscurity. Besides arranging the works,
he seems to have written paraphrases and commentaries, none
of which is extant. Two treatises are sometimes erroneously
attributed to him, one on the Emotions, the other a commentary
on Aristotle's Ethics (really by Constantine Palaeocappa
in the 16th century, or by John Callistus of Thessalonica).
