Extract

It is generally admitted that Bekker's Kb—Laur. 81, 11—is the best, as it is the oldest, authority for the text both of the Nicomachean Ethics and of the Great Morals. It is desirable therefore that the testimony of that manuscript should be presented to the learned public as accurately as possible. So far as concerns the Nicomachean Ethics, the reports of that testimony which are now available are chiefly the following: (a) Bekker's, as given in his academical edition of 1831, (b) Schöll's, as given first in Rassow's Forschungen über die Nikomachische Ethik, Weimar, 1874, at p. 10, sqq., and subsequently in Susemihl's editions, of which the third and last was edited by Otto Apelt and published in the Teubner series in 1912, and (c) Bywater's, as given in his Oxford text. Bywater's apparatus criticus is unfortunately what is called a select apparatus criticus.

1 When I say ‘pr.’ I mean, as Susemihl means when he says ‘pr. Kb,’ that the reading which precedes it was the original reading of the manuscript, but that it was subsequently corrected into the reading which stands in the printed text with which my collation has been made. Susemihl occasionally adds Kb without more, though the reading has been corrected.

2 Quoted by Apelt at p. xi of his Praefatio to the Ethica Nicomachea. Susemihl says much the same in his preface to the Great Morals, p. xvii.
