“…Moraux held that Boethius and Ammonius owe their information to Porphyry, who in turn quoted from Alexander; and that Alexander, being motivated to bring clarity out of the confusion, selected from Herminus and Aspasius the interpretations with which he disagreed, preserving at the same time from Aspasius some with which he agreed. 247 The inference is drawn from Boethius' opening words, 248 and it carries some intrinsic probability. It should be kept in mind, however, that Boethius implicitly attributes precisely the same motivation to Porphyry, 249 so that allowance must therefore be made for his intervention and control over evidence as well.…”

The paper is in three parts, prefaced by general remarks concerning Boethius' logical translations and commentaries: the text of the Peri Hermeneias as known to and commented on by Boethius (and Ammonius); the organizational principles behind Boethius' second commentary on the Peri Hermeneias; its source(s). One of the main purposes of the last section is to demonstrate that the Peri Hermeneias commentaries of Boethius and Ammonius are, although part of a common tradition, quite independent of one another, and special consideration is given to the question of how Boethius interpreted and shaped the doxographical material concerning Aspasius, Herminus, and Alexander that had been handed down to him by Porphyry.
