Abstract
The second volume of the study on Empedocles includes a Greek-Czech edition of all testimonies, the immediate contexts of the verses, B fragments and the newly found Strasbourg papyrus. It is preceded by an introduction in which author's editorial method and the history of the Empedoclean scholarship are explained and summarized, including the history of editions dating back to the 16th century.
There follows a detailed morphological, stylistic and metrical analysis of the Empedoclean language. Attached are index verborum graecorum and briefly annotated bibliography covering the period 1520-2006 (ca. 800 titles) which was intended to be as complete as possible.
