Stobaeus
:''For the composer see: Johann Stobäus''.
Joannes Stobaeus (;〔Joseph Emerson Worcester, ''A Comprehensive Dictionary of the English Language'', Philadelphia, 1888, (p. 588 )〕 ; fl. 5th-century CE), from Stobi in Macedonia, was the compiler of a valuable series of extracts from Greek authors. The work was originally divided into two volumes containing two books each. The two volumes became separated in the manuscript tradition, and the first volume became known as the ''Extracts'' (also ''Eclogues'') and the second volume became known as the ''Anthology'' (also ''Florilegium''). Modern editions now refer to both volumes as the ''Anthology''. The ''Anthology'' contains extracts from hundreds of writers, especially poets, historians, orators, philosophers and physicians. The subjects covered range from natural philosophy, dialectics, and ethics, to politics, economics, and maxims of practical wisdom. The work preserves fragments of many authors and works who otherwise might be unknown today.
==Life==
Of his life nothing is known. He derived his surname apparently from being a native of Stobi in Macedonia Salutaris.〔 The age in which he lived cannot be fixed with accuracy.〔Mason 1870, pp. 914–5〕 He quotes no writer later than the early 5th century, and he probably lived around this time.〔 From his silence in regard to Christian authors, it has been inferred that he was not a Christian.〔 His name, though, would rather indicate a Christian, or at least the son of Christian parents.〔
