Bemerkungen

Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - This collection of reminiscences is the record of various conversations in which Socrates took the leading part, together with Xenophon’s comments on these and his general estimate of the philosopher’s character; the whole being manifestly published as a defense against the charges of impiety and pernicious teaching which had already cost Socrates his life. It belongs, with the Oeconomicus, Symposium, and Apologia Socratis, to the class of ‘ Socratic’ writings, which probably were composed during Xenophon’s residence at Scillus, i.e. between 387 and 371 b.c. He probably had kept notes of his friend’s utterances during their years of companionship, of course without anticipating the occasion for their publication; and we have little reason to doubt their general authenticity and sincerity. -- Still, the Memorabilia contains many irregularities of style, incoherences in statement, and perplexing repetitions of the same topic ( especially noticeable in book iv ) . These have given rise to suspicions that the work as we have it is not in the condition in which it left the author’s hands. Some scholars ( as Bergk, Schenkl, and Hartman ) have regarded it as an epitomized fragment of an original which included the Oeconomicus and the Symposium. Others have thought that the original work has been largely added to by various editors and copyists.
