Simplicius on the planets and their motions : in defense of a heresy Bowen, Alan C | Simplicius 2013 Philosophia antiqua ( Serie ) Leiden ; Boston : Brill Englisch 9789004241718 Abstract

The book contends that the digression ending Simplicius’ In de caelo 2.12 is not a proper history of early Greek planetary theory, but a creative atempt to show that to accept Ptolemy’s planetary hypotheses one need not repudiate Aristotle’s argument that the cosmos is eternal.
