Hermann Diels (1848-1922), professor of classics at Berlin, published this first edition of his authoritative collection of quotations from, and reports about, Presocratic philosophers in 1903. It was designed to enable students taking courses on the beginnings of Greek philosophy to engage with evidence that was fragmentary and unstandardised.
