 Acknowledgements
The first draft of my translation of Simplicius’ commentary on Books 3 and
4 of Aristotle’s On the Heavens (De Caelo, Cael.) was completed in 2005-6
when I was a Visiting Scholar at Christ’s College, Cambridge. I would like
to record my gratitude to the fellows of the College and particularly to the
then Master, the late Malcolm Bowie, who provided me with an ideal
working place and a most convivial intellectual and social atmosphere in
which to live.
I would also like to thank the Classics Faculty at Cambridge for both
the use of its library and the continuing stimulation of its seminars and
lectures, in which the interventions of Nicholas Denyer, Geoffrey Lloyd,
Malcolm Schofield, David Sedley, Robert Wardy, and others reminded me
again and again that no interpretive question can safely be considered
settled.
In making this translation I have constantly had to rely on others for
help with linguistic and substantive issues. I am sure I cannot remember
the names of all of those others, but I would like to mention Elizabeth
Asmis, Benno Artmann, Myles Burnyeat, Alan Code, Stephen Menn, Jan
Opsomer, David Sedley, and James Wilberding, Dirk Baltzly, and Daniel
Graham. Baltzly and Graham are the only official vetters whose names
are known to me, but the suggestions and corrections of the other three
were also extremely helpful. I am especially grateful to the general editor
of the ancient commentators series, Richard Sorabji, whose advice and
encouragement were a sine qua non for my completion of this translation.
The most important mainstay for all my endeavours continues to be my
wife and intellectual partner of almost fifty years, Janel Mueller. How
lucky I have been to be able to have dinner conversations with her on the
translations of both Simplicius’ commentary and the texts of Queen Eliza-
beth I written in foreign languages.
