Appendix 1 - Spurious writings and testimonia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2010
Summary
The standard collection of all the pseudo-Archytan writings is Thesleff (1965). New editions and commentaries on individual treatises have appeared since Thesleff and are cited below. In a few cases, where Thesleff has not provided the text, I provide enough of the text to reveal its nature. All of the following treatises are, in my judgment, surely spurious except On Law and Justice, where the evidence is more complicated. In the case of most treatises, I have given the main arguments for spuriousness. On the pseudo-Archytan treatises in general see Burkert 1972b, Centrone 1990 and 1994b, Moraux 1984: 605–83, and Thesleff 1972 and 1961.
