This is the only commentary on Aristotle's theological work,
Metaphysics, Book 12, to survive from the first six centuries CE -
the heyday of ancient Greek commentary on Aristotle. Though the
Greek text itself is lost, a full English translation is presented
here for the first time, based on Arabic versions of the Greek and
a Hebrew version of the Arabic. In his commentary Themistius offers
an extensive re-working of Aristotle, confirming that the first
principle of the universe is indeed Aristotle's God as intellect,
not the intelligibles thought by God. The identity of intellect
with intelligibles had been omitted by Aristotle in Metaphysics 12,
but is suggested in his Physics 3.3 and On the Soul 3, and later by
Plotinus. Laid out here in an accessible translation and
accompanied by extensive commentary notes, introduction and
indexes, the work will be of interest for students and scholars of
Neoplatonist philosophy, ancient metaphysics, and textual
transmission.
