Andron īcus in Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities

A peripatetic philosopher, a native of Rhodes, who flourished about B.C. 80. He arranged and published the writings of Aristotle, which had been brought to Rome with the library of Apellicon. He commented on many parts of these writings; but no portion of his works has reached us, for the treatise Περὶ Παθῶν, and the Paraphrase of the Nicomachean ethics, which have been published under his name, are the productions of another. The treatise Περὶ Παθῶν was published by Hösschel in 1593, and was afterwards printed conjointly with the Paraphrase in 1617, 1679, and 1809. The Paraphrase was published by Heinsius in 1607, at Leyden, as an anonymous work (Incerti Auctoris Paraphrasis, etc.), and afterwards under the name of Andronicus of Rhodes, by the same scholar, in 1617, with the treatise Περὶ Παθῶν added to it. See the dissertations by Littig, Andronikos von Rhodos (1891) and by Rösener (1893).
