The text delves into Simplicius's understanding of prime matter and his engagement with the Eleatic school, as well as his polemics against John Philoponus, highlighting his reaffirmation of celestial transcendence. The transmission of texts is a significant focus, with research on fragments of Simplicius's commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics and an analysis of the text of his commentary on Physics.

The survival of Simplicius's commentary on Epictetus from the 15th to the 17th centuries is also documented, featuring notable figures such as Perotti, Politien, Steuchus, John Smith, and Cudworth. The work concludes with indices of cited texts, manuscripts, geographical names, and personal names, providing a thorough reference framework for furth
