Display of Wolfson's Hornik Collection complements major international conference

This was to mark the publication of the 100^th volume of translations into English of works by commentators on Aristotle and other related late ancient philosophical works by the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle project, under the direction of Wolfson Honorary Fellow Professor Richard Sorabji.

The event was complemented by a display of sixteenth-century editions of some of the texts translated by the project, curated by Common Room member Dr John Sellars, previously a Wolfson Junior Research Fellow (2004-7) and now Lecturer in Ancient Philosophy at Birkbeck College, London, and Research Officer for the Ancient Commentators Project.

This was the first time items from the College's Hornik Collection have been displayed since they were given to the College in 1984, following the deaths of Dr Marcel and Tessa Hornik, who had assembled the collection.
