Valentin Rose (classicist)
|
Valentin Rose (1829-1916), a classicist and textual critic, who received his doctorate from the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Berlin in 1854.
Rose's first edition of the fragments of Aristotle was Aristoteles Pseudepigraphus (1863). As the title suggests, Rose considered these all to be spurious. The engagement of Friedrich Nietzsche with this work has been described in the first chapter of James I. Porter, Nietzsche and the Philology of the Future, Stanford, 2000.
His other works include:
- De Aristotelis librorum ordine et auctoritate, 1854 (inaugural dissertation)
- Anecdota graeca et graecolatina: Mitteilungen aus Handschriften zur Geschichte der griechischen Wissenschaft, 2 vols., 1864-1870
- Teubner editions of Vitruvius (1867), Anacreon (1868), Pliny the Elder (1875), Anthimus (1877), Cassius Felix (1879), Soranus (1882), Theodorus Priscianus (1894), Gilles de Corbeil (1907)
