Theodore Metochites' Aristotelian paraphrases (c. 1312), covering
all 40 books of the Stagirite's extant works on natural philosophy,
constitute one of the major achievements of late Byzantine
learning. This volume offers the first critical edition of
Metochites' paraphrases of the three books of the De anima,
accompanied by an introduction and an English translation with an
apparatus of parallel passages in Aristotle's ancient commentators.
The first part of the introduction presents and evaluates the
sources for the text, consisting of thirteen Greek manuscripts, a
15th-century Greek epitome and a 16th-century Latin translation.
The genealogical relationships between these are established on the
basis of separative and conjunctive errors, identified, inter alia,
through critical discussions of more than 300 passages. The second
part of the introduction discusses the nature, purpose and sources
of the paraphrases as well as several linguistic questions with
implications for editing and translating the text. The third part
of the introduction sets out the principles of this edition and
translation.
This book investigates Aristotelian psychology through his works
and commentaries on them, including De Sensu, De Memoria and De
Somno et Vigilia. Authors present original research papers inviting
readers to consider the provenance of Aristotelian ideas and
interpretations of them, on topics ranging from reality to dreams
and spirituality. Aristotle's doctrine of the 'common sense', his
notion of transparency and the generation of colours are amongst
the themes explored. Chapters are presented chronologically,
enabling the reader to trace influences across the boundaries of
linguistic traditions. Commentaries from historical figures
featured in this work include those of Michael of Ephesus (c.
1120), Albert the Great and Gersonides' (1288-1344). Discoveries in
9th-century Arabic adaptations, Byzantine commentaries and
Renaissance paraphrases of Aristotle's work are also presented. The
editors' introduction outlines the main historical developments of
the themes discussed, preparing the reader for the cross-cultural
and interdisciplinary perspectives presented in this work. Scholars
of philosophy and psychology and those with an interest in
Aristotelianism will highly value the original research that is
presented in this work. The Introduction and Chapter 4 of this book
are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
