Herminus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Herminus (Greek: Ἑρμῖνος) was a Peripatetic philosopher, who lived in the first half of the 2nd century.^[1] He appears to have written commentaries on most of the works of Aristotle. Simplicius^[2] says he was the instructor of Alexander of Aphrodisias. His writings, of which nothing now remains, are frequently referred to by Boethius, who mentions a treatise by him, περὶ Ἑρμηνείας, as also Analytica and Topica.
