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.
