The commentary on the Physics by Alexander of Aphrodisias is no longer extant; both the Greek original and the Arabic translation are lost.1 Averroes made extensive use of the latter when he wrote his long commentary on the Physics in about 1186. The Arabic original of this commentary, too, has not survived, but the thirteenth-century Latin translation by Michael Scotus and an anonymous fourteenth-century Hebrew one are extant. The Latin translation is well known and was widely studied by medieval as well as modern scholars. The printed edition published in Venice in 1562, as a part of Averroes' works, is readily accessible.2 The Hebrew translation is less known. While
