Die Sammlung der Philosophenbiographien des Diogenes Laertios ist eines der wichtigsten und einflussreichsten philosophiehistorischen Dokumente der Antike. Die Studie verfolgt die griechische Rezeptionsgeschichte der Viten ab dem Zeitpunkt ihrer Entstehung (etwa 3. Jh. n. Chr.) bis zu den unmittelbaren Folgen ihrer lateinischen Neuübersetzung (15. Jh.). Anhand ausgewählter repräsentativer Zeugen aus der griechischsprachigen Geistesgeschichte (u. a. Klemens von Alexandria, Tatian, Basilius von Caesarea, Gregor von Nazianz, Johannes Chrysostomus, Michael Psellos, Gregorios Akindynos, Nikephoros Gregoras, Bessarion) und Hagiographie wird die mehrdimensionale Funktionalität der antiken Philosophenbiographien in der byzantinischen Kultur illustriert. Die Viten erweisen sich als unverzichtbare Referenzpunkte im spätantiken, mittelalterlichen und frühneuzeitlichen Diskurs um die richtige, der Wahrheit gemäßen Lebensform unter den Christen, auch und besonders zur Verdeutlichung des zu überwindenden "Anderen". Gleichzeitig wird der spätrömische Bildungs- und Erziehungsdiskurs, in welchem Diogenes Laertios eine völlig andere, nichtsdestoweniger wichtige Funktion erfüllt, in byzantinischer Zeit nahtlos fortgeführt.

"One of the most important Stoic philosophers is Epictetus. Epictetus (c. 50 - 135 CE) was a Greek enslaved person who established an important school of Stoic philosophy in Rome. Epictetus is appreciated for his clear, good-humored way of explaining difficult ideas and his focus on daily life rather than metaphysics. This may be because he did not write down his lectures and discourses, as Marcus and Seneca did-rather, he delivered them aloud and they were carefully recorded by his students. Thus we should not refer to them as "writings" but as "works." The complete oeuvre consists of his popular handbook on virtue (enchiridion), also known as "The Art of Living," a set of discourses, and a number of fragments. This set of translations, framed by an introduction and notes, is geared expressly to general readers and students, though it will be enormously helpful to scholars as well"--
