Ibn Bagga's commentary on Aristotle's On Generation and Corruption
(Kitab al-Kawn wa-l-fasad, Latin De generatione et corruptione) is
one of the first commentaries to elaborate on the essential aspect
of Aristotle's text, that is, the analysis of change ( , tagayyur).
The commentary's extant parts comprise a consecutive exposition of
the contents of Aristotle's work. However, the commentary may be
read more as an introduction or a guide to the topic of generation
than as a substitution for the original, as the paraphrases by
Averroes seem to have become in the later tradition. The present
study provides a new critical edition of the Arabic text and, for
the first time, an English translation and a study of the structure
of the commentary on the basis of the only two known manuscripts.
