Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1992 | ISBN-10: 906831453X | ISBN-13: 978-9068314533

This is the first volume of a new trilogy, which will deal with that part of the Shifac which concerns physics and natural philosophy, in Latin the Liber primus naturalium. One part of the Liber primus naturalium, which was translated into Latin towards the end of the 12th century, gave rise to the Tractatus primus de causis et principiis naturalium and to the Tractatus secundus de motu et consimilibus, whilst another part translated towards the end of the 13th century produced a Tractatus tertius de his quae habent naturalia ex hoc quod habent quantitatem. The Tractatus primus de causis et principiis naturalium, now published, contains like all the other volumes in the series, a doctrinal introduction by Professor G. Verbeke, and an historical and critical apparatus, all prepared by Simone van Riet. The Arabic-Latin and Latin-Arabic lexica will be published separately in a single volume, after publication of the three Tractatus has been completed. FR La collection Avicenna Latinus va s'enricher prochainement d'une nouvelle trilogie, celle qui concerne la Physique ou philosophie de la nature du Shifac, en latin Liber primus naturalium. Traduite de l'arabe en latin vers la fin du XIIe siecle, une partie du Liber primus naturalium a donne lieu au Tractatus primus de causis et principiis naturalium et au Tractatus secundus de motu et consimilibus, tandis qu'une partie traduite vers la fin du XIIIe siecle a donne lieu a un Tractatus tertius de his quae habent naturalia ex hoc quod habent quantitatem. Le Tractatus primus de causis et principiis naturalium va sortir de presse incessamment. Il comportera, comme les volumes precedents de la collection, une Introduction doctrinale due au Prof. G. Verbeke, une Introduction historique et critique suivie du texte latin muni de trois apparats par S. van Riet. Les Lexiques arabo-latin et latino-arabe seront publies ulterieurement, en un volume unique, apres l'achevement des trois Tractatus.
