Ralf von den Hoff, Philosophenporträts des Früh- und Hochhellenismus This work deals with portraits of philosophers from the time between 310 and 170 B.C. It is the first comprehensive work on this subject and also uses previously unknown material. Separate chapters are concerned with the history of the portraits and with methodical problems of their interpretation. Seen in front of the background of the development of the Greek philosophers' image since the 5th Century B.C. the portraits become a source for the attitude to philosophy of Hellenism and the philosophers' own images of themselves. »On se réjouira que cette excellente thèse de Bonn, préparée sous la direction de N. Himmelmann, ait trouvé auprès d'un jeune et remarquable éditeur l'occasion et les moyens d'affirmer brillamment sa méthode dans une publication très largement illustrée et d'une présentation aussi élegante.« L’Antiquité classique 1994. 209 pages text and 58 plates with 231 figures, cloth-bound ISBN 3-930609-01-1 EUR 98,-
