Andronicus of Rhodes (c. Lxx B.C.), was a eleventh scholarch of the Peripatetics. His principal act was a arrangement of a writings of Aristotle and Theophrastus with materials supplied to him by Tyrannion. Prior to his period, Aristotle's dialogues were widely known, however his treatises experienced been misplaced within obscurity. Besides arranging a works, he seems to use written paraphrasis & comment, none of which is extant. 2 treatises come for instance erroneously attributed to him, 1 on the Emotions, the more a commentary in Aristotle's Ethics (really by Constantine Palaeocappa in the 16th century, or even by John Callistus of Thessalonica).
