Publisher's Synopsis
Apart from both of his monographs on Sextus and his indices to Sextus and Diogenes Laertius, Karel Janá?ek (1906-1996) published fifty articles on Sextus and related topics. These are methodically strict lexical and stylistic studies which have shed new light on Sextus' work. In addition Janá?ek also took a close look at the works of Diogenes Laertius, Hippolytus of Rome and Philo of Alexandria and how they are connected with Sextus. The results of these studies form the foundation of present scholarship on Sextus.
