Alexander of Aphrodisias’ Overview of the Metaphysics in the Proem of Averroes’ Long Commentary on Metaphysics Lambda
The Proem of Averroes’ Long Commentary ( Tafsīr ) on Metaphysics Lambda has been intensively studied in recent times. Against the background of previous scholarship, the present contribution argues that Averroes’ Proem witnesses not one, but two distinct works originally stemming from Alexander of Aphrodisias, namely both a specific Proem to Metaphysics Lambda, belonging to Alexander’s overall Commentary on this treatise – called “Alexander 1” – …
Avicenna’s Šifāʾ from Safavid Iran to the Mughal Empire
The paper aims at providing a comprehensive description of the manuscript Rampur, Rampur Raza Library 3476 (ḥikma 112), which contains three of the four main parts of Avicenna’s philosophical magnum opus, the Kitāb al-Šifāʾ (the Book of the Cure or: of the Healing). This manuscript documents important developments in the history of Arabic-Islamic philosophy. First, it attests a precise intellectual genealogy within the influential Daštakī family …
Metaphysics, Elemental Transformation, Medicine
The present article brings to the scholarly attention the Avicennian manuscript San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid), Real Biblioteca del Monasterio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial, 621, by conveying a basic description of its codicological features and by locating it in the wider context of the connection metaphysics-medicine that the transmission of Avicenna’s magnum opus Kitāb al-Šifāʾ ( Book of the Cure/Healing ) displays. The manuscript at stak…

The Manuscript Tradition of Avicenna's Kitāb al-Šifā'
TheArabic text of Avicenna’s (Ibn Sīnā, d. 1037)masterpiece on philosophy, the Kitāb al-Sifāʾ (Book of the Cure), is still imperfectly known.The work is a philosophical encyclopedia in four main parts (logic, natural philosophy, mathematics, and metaphysics, with an appendix on practical philosophy) articulated into twenty-two sections (nine sections of logic, eight of natural philosophy, four of mathematics, plus the single section of metaphysic…
How Many Recensions of Avicenna's Kitāb al-Šifā
The article discusses the possibility that Avicenna's magnum opus in philosophy might have had multiple recensions, either by the author himself, or in a very early phase of its manuscript transmission, possibly as a result of scholarly discussions within Avicenna's school. As test case, the fifth treatise of the metaphysical section (Ilāhiyyāt) of the Kitāb al-Šifā' is chosen: in some very ancient testimonia, this treatise presents an arrangemen…
The Arabic, Hebrew and Latin Reception of Avicenna's Metaphysics
Avicenna’s Metaphysics (in Arabic: Ilâhiyyât ) is the most important and influential metaphysical treatise of classical and medieval times after Aristotle. This volume presents studies on its direct and indirect influence in Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin culture from the time of its composition in the early eleventh century until the sixteenth century. Among the philosophical topics which receive particular attention are the distinction between essen…
On the Arabic Translations of Aristotle's Metaphysics
The starting-point and, at the same time, the foundation of recent scholarship on the Arabic translations of Aristotle's Metaphysics are Maurice Bouyges' excellent critical edition of the work in which the extant translations of the Metaphysics are preserved – i.e . Averroes' Tafsīr (the so-called “Long Commentary”) of the Metaphysics – and his comprehensive account of the Arabic translations and translators of the Metaphysics in the introductory…
From al-Kindī to al-Fārābī
The autobiography witnesses a significant evolution in Avicenna's approach to Aristotle's Metaphysics during the years of his education. It clearly shows that, at a certain point of his philosophical training, Avicenna faced the entire text of the Metaphysics , was puzzled by its extent and complexity, and found in a treatise by al-Fārābī a guide for its understanding. But, albeit less perspicuously, the autobiography also suggests that this was …
