From the DJ: 'Aristotle's treatise on the Soul, De anima, was one of the most significant factors in the development of Islamic philosophy. In interpreting Aristotle's sometimes obscure thought, however, the Islamic philosophers were greatly influenced by the views of his most important commentators in anti-quity, Alexander of Aphrodisias and Themistius. The latter's paraphrase of De anima was translated into Arabic and eagerly studied, especially by Averroes, who often refers to it in his own commentary on the book, which in turn played an important role among the Latin Schoolmen. A Manuscript of this commentary by Themistius has recently been discovered in the Jarawiyyin mosque in Fez; it is edited here for the first time by Dr. M. C. Lyons. Its publication will make an important contribution to our interpretation of the psychological doctrines of the Islamic philosophers, since it makes available Continued on back flap Continued from front flap one of the basic texts with which they worked. The elaborate Arabic-Greek and Greek-Arabic index facilitates the use of the text for studies on the history of these doctrines and of their Arabic terminology.'. NEAR FINE / Very Good.
