Ancient Commentators on Aristotle Project

Das Ancient Commentators on Aristotle Project (abgekürzt: ACA) ist ein Projekt zur Übersetzung der antiken, spätantiken und byzantinischen Kommentare zu den Schriften des Aristoteles ins Englische. Es werden die Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca (CAG) nicht vollständig, jedoch zum größten Teil übersetzt; weitere relevante Schriften wurden darüber hinaus in das Projekt aufgenommen. Das am King’s College London beheimatete Projekt wurde von Richard Sorabji initiiert und steht unter seiner Leitung. Mitherausgeber ist seit 2013 Michael Griffin. Seit dem Beginn des Projekts im Jahr 1987 sind knapp 120 Bände erschienen. Weitere Bände sind in Vorbereitung. Flankiert wird die Übersetzungsreihe von sieben Bänden interpretierenden Inhalts.
