Theophrasti Peri Lexes Libri Fragmenta presents the surviving fragments of Theophrastus' work on style and diction (Peri Lexeos). This edition, compiled by August Oehler, offers invaluable insights into the linguistic and rhetorical theories of one of Aristotle's most important students and successors. Theophrastus' work, though fragmentary, reveals his profound understanding of language, literary expression, and the art of effective communication. This text is crucial for scholars interested in ancient philosophy, linguistics, and the history of literary criticism. Examining these fragments provides a unique glimpse into the development of classical thought on language and its role in shaping intellectual and cultural life in ancient Greece. This edition preserves and makes accessible these important contributions to the study of language and rhetoric.
