The need for a new edition stemmed from the fact that ‘the previous editions are based on inadequate recensio et examinatio codicum’ (CXLIV). This is not primarily due to the comprehensive and useful introduction (especially compared to Hayduck’s CAG edition), but to the corrections and additions made to the text based on a study of a wider set of manuscripts and a corrected reconstruction of the textual tradition. Golitsis’ new edition of Alexander of Aphrodisias’ Commentary on Aristotle’s Metaphysics in the series Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca et Byzantina is an excellent work that will certainly replace the hitherto standard edition of Hayduck from the original Berlin edition of Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca in the late 19th century.
