Alexandre D'Aphrodise, Commentaire Perdu a la "Physique" D'Aristote (Livres IV-VIII)

The no longer extant commentary by Alexander of Aphrodisias (approx. 200 AD) on Aristotles Physics is one of the most important works of antiquity -, as a source text having influenced both the Greek commentators on Aristotle and - through the mediation of Arab scholars - Western medieval philosophy. This volume presents the first edition and study of nearly 700 recently discovered Byzantine scholia, which allow a more exact reconstruction of Alexanders teachings on physics, and at the same time contribute to a better understanding of Aristotelianism and preclassical physics.
