Allan H. Coxon (a cura di), The Fragments of Parmenides
After the republication in 2008 of Mourelatos, The Route of Parmenides (1970) – revised by the author himself – “Parmenides Publishing” has given a new generation of scholars and students Coxon’s edition of the fragments of Parmenides. The new version of this book that, after H. Diels’ Parmenides Lehrgedicht (1897), imposed itself as the “classical” edition of Parmenides’ text, was revised by Richard McKirahan, a scholar who has extensively worked on Presocratics.
Actually, Coxon’s edition was the first, after Diels’ one, to be based on a systematic consultation of the main manuscripts of the works of Simplicius, Sextus Empiricus and Proclus who quote key sections of Parmenides’ poem.
