1903年，德国学者Hermann Diels（1848—1922）出版《前苏格拉底哲学家残篇》（Fragmente der Vorsokratiker）一书，为前苏格拉底哲学的研究提供了系统的原始材料，该书后来经过作者本人和弟子Walther Kranz（1884—1960）的五次修订后达1592页，已成为该领域最权威的资料。
1948年，英国学者Kathleen Freeman教授，将1934年第五版中的古希腊残篇部分全部翻译为英文，由哈佛大学出版社出版。书名全称为Ancilla to Pre-Socratic Philosophers: A Complete Translation of the Fragments in Diels, Fragmente der Vorsokratiker。本次影印即依此版本，并将书名简称为The Fragments of The Pre-Socratic Philosophers。
