SynopsisAristotles De Animalibus has been a very important source of zoological knowledge both for the ancient Greeks and for the medieval Arabs and Europeans. The work has twice been translated into Latin, once direct from the Greek by William of Moerbeke and once by Michael Scot from an existing Arabic translation. Of these, Scots translation is the oldest. The De Animalibus is composed of three sections: History of Animals (10 books), Parts of Animals (4 books) and Generation of Animals (5 books). The present volume contains the first critical edition of Scots translation of the second section. The edition of the third section is already available (1992), the first section is in preparation., Aristotle's De Animalibus has been a very important source of zoological knowledge both for the ancient Greeks and for the medieval Arabs and Europeans. The work has twice been translated into Latin, once direct from the Greek by William of Moerbeke and once by Michael Scot from an existing Arabic translation. Of these, Scot's translation is the oldest. The De Animalibus is composed of three sections: 'History of Animals' (10 books), 'Parts of Animals' (4 books) and 'Generation of Animals' (5 books). The present volume contains the first critical edition of Scot's translation of the second section. The edition of the third section is already available (1992), the first section is in preparation., This volume makes available for the first time to the scholarly world the version of Aristotle's "Parts of Animals" that has long been one of the main sources of knowledge in Europe on the subject. Being a faithful translation of a translation produced by a Syriac-speaking Christian, the text also contributes to our knowledge of Middle Arabic., Offers the first critical edition of Michael Scot's Arabic-Latin translation (made in Toledo, Spain, "ca." 1220) of Aristotle's "Generation of Animals" (= "De animalibus" bks XV-XIX), with introduction, Latin and Arabic apparatus, and extensive glossaries, as well as a full Greek Index compiled by Prof. Drossaart Lulofs.
