Jaap Mansfeld is Professor of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy in the University of Utrecht. His publications include: Studies in the Historiography of Greek Philosophy, (1990), and Doxography and Dialectic: the Sitz im Leben of the Placita in ANRW II 36.4 (1990).
'[Jaap Mansfeld's] study...makes important advances in drawing
attention to the Middle Platonist orientation of Hippolytus'
sources...and in stressing his 'heresiographical purpose'. The book
will therefore be necessary reading for any consideration of
Hippolytus as a source for early Greek thought.'
Stuart Leggatt, Classical Review, 1994.
'Pour conclure, nous voudrions souligner le travail philologique de
Mansfeld. L'index des passages principaux qu'il analyse
minutieusement en est l'impressionnant témoin.'
Bernard Colin, l'Antiquité Classique, 1994.
'La lecture du volume est enrichissante et passionnante : ce livre
est un instrument indispensable pour toute recherche dans le
domaine du gnosticisme.'
Recherches de Science Religieuse, 1995.
