S14.1a:
Aristotle [384–322 BC]
L. Minio-Paluello in DSB 1. 267–81 (on tradition and influence).
Indexing Aristotle's works presents difficulties at several levels. He
wrote a great deal. The sources provide evidence at different periods for the
Greek text, multiple Latin translations from Arabic and from Greek, groupings
of individual works under familiar medieval titles, and a wide range of
pseudonymous texts. The descriptions provided by the sources are often
imprecise, especially as to which Latin translation was recorded. Since the
sixteenth century scholarly interest has focused on the Greek text rather than
on versions current in the middle ages. Only in recent decades has
Aristoteles Latinus attempted to document the Latin versions current at
different times, but its progress with editions has been slow. Recently
Aristoteles Latinus Database (ALD) has provided complementary material.
Since 1971 a separate series Aristoteles Semito-Latinus has aimed to edit
translations from Arabic. Where neither is not available, one must have
recourse either to major sixteenth-century printings of Latin (in cases where
they print the medieval versions) or to the earliest printed editions that may
themselves have been documented by our sources. The resulting index is
inevitably uneven. Thanks to Pieter de Leemans for his advice.

Aristotle [384–322 BC]
[pseud.]
Liber de causis, Latin tr.

Filosofie 28 (1966) 90–203; the text is also printed with the edition
of Aquinas's commentary, ed. H. D. Saffrey (Fribourg/Louvain 1954);

from Proclus's Elementatio theologica, and Albertus Magnus names the
compiler as David Iudaeus. Copies are often said to be accompanied by
a commentary, `Cum ergo remouet causa secunda uniuersalis', attributed
to Alfarabius and to other writers; these passages are in fact
demonstrations added by the compiler.
