This edition of the Arabic translation Aristotle’s
De Generatione Animalium forms an addition to the Greek text,
Περὶ ζῴων γενέσεως, and the medieval Latin translation. It is based on three Arabic manuscripts (Leiden Or. 166; London, British Museum Or. Add. 7511; and a Tehran manuscript of
Kitāb al-ḥayawān), and on the Latin after-version of Michael Scotus.
Jan Brugman (1923-2004), doctorate (1960) Leiden University, was professor of Arabic language and culture at Leiden University. He made an important contribution to the field with his extensive bibliography of modern Arabic literature in Egypt (1984).
