The Problemata Physica, attributed to Aristotle
The Arabic Version of hÌ£unain ibn IshÄq and the Hebrew Version of Moses ibn Tibbon
Series: - Aristoteles Semitico-Latinus, Volume: 11
Editor:
A first edition of the Arabic text and the Hebrew text of the Problemata Physica, ascribed to Aristotle, which has been elaborated in later Antiquity in Greek. The text, corresponding with the first 15 books of the existing Greek text, contains chiefly medical problems, but also biological and mathematical ones.
Therefore this volume deals with a comparison of the existing Greek text and the lost extended Greek version, only transmitted in this Arabic translation and in this Hebrew translation of the Arabic version. The authorship of the famous translator hÌ£unain ibn IshÄq has been discussed.
The role of the Problemata Physica in Arabic literature has not been omitted.
Interesting for Semitic linguistics is the description of the language used by hÌ£unain ibn IshÄq and Moses ibn Tibbon, and of the influence of Arabic on the Hebrew of the translators. Glossaries have been added to give the reader the opportunity to compare the Arabic text with the Greek and the Hebrew ones.
