Professor Gutas deals here with the lives, sayings, thought, and
doctrines of Greek philosophers drawn from sources preserved in
medieval Arabic translations and for the most part not extant in
the original. The Arabic texts, some of which are edited here for
the first time, are translated throughout and richly annotated with
the purpose of making the material accessible to classical scholars
and historians of ancient and medieval philosophy. Also discussed
are the modalities of transmission from Greek into Arabic, the
diffusion of the translated material within the Arabic tradition,
the nature of the Arabic sources containing the material, and
methodological questions relating to Graeco-Arabic textual
criticism. The philosophers treated include the Presocratics and
minor schools such as Cynicism, Plato, Aristotle and the early
Peripatos, and thinkers of late antiquity. A final article presents
texts on the malady of love drawn from both the medical and
philosophical (problemata physica) traditions.
