Document Details : Title: Supplement to the Aristoteles Latinus. Subtitle: An unknown Manuscript of Moerbeke's Translation of the Metaphysics Author(s): BEULLENS, Pieter Journal: Recherches de Théologie et Philosophie Médiévales Volume: 69 Issue: 1 Date: 2002 Pages: 66-87 DOI: 10.2143/RTPM.69.1.964 Abstract : The article studies a privately owned fragmentary manuscript of Moerbeke’s version of Aristotle’s Metaphysics. The treatise was transmitted through a very intricate text tradition. It is shown that two of the remaining three parts of the manuscript belong to the so-called “Italian” or independent tradition, for which only six other manuscripts are extant. Although Vuillemin-Diem, the editor of the text in the Aristoteles Latinus series, did not use this manuscript, its text corroborates several of her hypotheses. Moreover, the manuscript considerably adds to our knowledge of Moerbeke’s lost autograph. It also contains some interesting similarities with Albert the Great’s commentary on the same text. |
