 Although much more could be said here about Simplicius’ legacy, suffice it to say the following. As mentioned in the introduction, his Commentary on the Physics was the basis for Diels’ fundamental studies on the Greek doxographers (Doxographi graeci) and the fragments of the Presocratic philosophers (Fragmente der Vorsokratiker). The reconstruction of the Peripatetic tradition also depends to a large extent on Simplicius (Falcon 2017 and Baltussen 2016). This is especially obvious in  the work of Alexander of Aphrodisias, where substantial parts of lost commentaries can be retrieved from Simplicius’ works (M. Rashed 2011), but also in the case of less well-known figures such as Boethos of Sidon (Chiaradonna &amp; Rashed forthcoming). Compared to Hermann Diels and others, we now have a much better grasp of how Simplicius handled his sources and how he portrayed the historical development of Greek philosophy up to his time. Several recent studies have also provided a clearer profile of Simplicius’ own philosophical agenda. Nevertheless, considerable parts of his commentaries are still relatively unexplored, and it now seems to be a good time for contemporary scholars to rediscover the Neoplatonist as an inspiring late-ancient colleague in the joint venture of coming to terms with Aristotle.
