Abstract

425 DE NOVIS LIBRIS IUDICIA study of Aristides and the myth arisen around his person in the fifth century, taken up by Socratic literature and enlarged in later Greek and Latin orators and rhetoric literature 1). In the introduc- tion as well as in the commentary of the book now under discussion we meet with the same clear argumentation, intelligence and critical sense as before. The introduction deals with the contents and sources of the vita-mentioned or not by Plutarch himself-, the tradition concerning Aristides, also apart from Plutarch, and the relation between this tradition and the vita, an evaluation of the historical significance of Plutarch's biographical work (the author is right, of course, not to understand it as "history"), and finally a survey of Aristides' place in Athenian politics and his historical importance in general, but especially his relation to Themistocles, his military achievements, and his part in the formation of the Attic-Delian league.
