Eustratius of Nicaea (
Nicaea in the early 12th century. He wrote commentaries on Aristotle
's second book of the Analytica Posteriora and the Ethica Nicomachea.
Biography
Eustratius was a pupil of
Anna Comnena to have been wise both in mundane and in religious matters and especially expert in argument.[4] Nevertheless he found himself accused of heresy in 1117 and a charge was placed before the Synod of Constantinople which narrowly succeeded despite a defence by Patriarch John IX of Constantinople.[2]
As a result of the condemnation Eustratius was formally suspended for life.
Two commentaries by Eustratius on the works of Aristotle survive:[1]
- Commentary on the Posterior Analytics, book 2
- Commentary on the Nicomachean Ethics, books 1 and 6, found in vol. 20 of Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca (CAG).
