Abstract

This is a textual note on the first definition of whole formulated by Aristotle in Metaph. Δ 26, 1023 b 26–7. I argue that the text transmitted by both families of the tradition is problematic, discuss an alternative reading which is present in some manuscripts and derives from Alexander’s commentary, and finally advance a conjecture that aims to solve all problems.
