Among the monumental projects taken up by classicists and medievalists in this century, the editions of the Greco-Latin versions of Aristotle collected in the series Aristoteles Latinus best display the great advances that have been made in editorial thoroughness and subtlety. The volumes confine themselves to presenting the texts, together with a discussion of their history and the history of earlier textual scholarship. The editions are models of clarity, availability and utility. After a gap of several years we are pleased to announce that this volume is now available again in reprint.
Aristotle's treatise on the most fundamental concepts of the human mind, called Categories or Predicaments, has been a basic textbook for Mediaeval philosophers and theologians. Boethius is the author of the oldest Latin translation known to us. However, from the end of the fourth century, there existed a Latin paraphrase of this text, due to a pupil of Themistius, but attributed to Augustin. A composite text, containing some elements of the Boethian version, circulated from the beginning of the ninth century.
All these texts were edited by L. Minio-Paluello, together with the translation of the complete text and the short lemma's of the Aristotelian treatise found in the copies of Moerbeke's version of Simplicius' commentary on the Categories. The preface to the edition unfolds and clarifies the complex situation of the manuscript tradition and tries to identify each of its components. The indexes include a Greek-Latin and Latin-Greek lexicon of the translations, as well as indexes of the Latin and the Greek words ocuurring in the Pseudo-Augustinian paraphrase.
The reprint of this standard edition of the Aristoteles Latinus, published in 1961, will be welcomed by scholars devoted to the history of Mediaeval logic and philosophy.
6-7. Categoriarum Supplementa

Dod
As a supplement to the edition of the Latin translations of Aristotle's Categories, L. Minio-Paluello and B.G. Dod edited the Latin versions of two smaller books that were closely linked to the study of the Categories during the whole Middle Ages. Porphyry's Isagoge or Introduction was considered as preparatory to the Aristotelian Categories, and the so-called Liber sex principiorum was used as its complement, since it deals mainly with the last six categories, which are treated more briefly in Aristotle's work.
The edition thus contains basically two texts: Boethius' translation of Porphyry's Isagoge as well as the extant fragments of the fourth century translation of the same work, done by Marius Victorinus, and the Liber sex principiorum. The introduction clarifies the manuscript tradition of both works and discusses the origin of the Liber sex principiorum, which is in fact an extract of an anonymous twelfth century work, but has been attributed erroneously to Gilbertus Porretanus. In an appendix, specimens of some Renaissance versions of the Categories are given. The indexes include a Greek-Latin and Latin-Greek lexicon of Porphyry's Isagoge, as well as a Latin index to the Liber sex principiorum.
The reprint of this 1966 edition of the Aristoteles Latinus will be welcomed by all scholars devoted to the history of Mediaeval logic and philosophy.

1-4. (2 et 3 editio altera) Analytica posteriora

Dod
One of Aristotle's most renowned and influential logical works is the Posterior Analytics, containing his theory on scientific demonstration. It was not known to Western scholars until the twelfth century, when it was translated three times within a span of 30 years. The most widespread translation goes back to James of Venice. It is justly called "vulgate", since it is preserved in about 300 manuscripts. Another version, ascribed to a certain "Ioannes", is extant in its entirety in only one manuscript. Thirdly, the Posterior Analytics was translated from Arabic by Gerard of Cremona. One century later, William of Moerbeke did a revision of James' translation.
This volume presents the critical edition of these four versions, which are described in the introduction. The appendix includes some specimens from printed editions of Averroes' commentary on the Posterior Analytics. The indexes contain a Greek-Latin and Latin-Greek lexicon of each of the three Greek-Latin translations and a Latin index of Gerard's version.
The reprint of this 1968 edition of Aristoteles Latinus will be welcomed by all scolars devoted to the history of Mediaeval logic and philosophy.
