The Theology of Aristotle and Some Other Pseudo-Aristotelian Texts Reconsidered

A collection of contributions to a Warburg Institute colloquium focuses on aspects of the pseudo-Aristotelian tradition in Arabic and Latin. F. W. Zimmermann's paper, occupying almost half the volume, undertakes a radical reassessment of the origins of the Arabic Theology of Aristotle and related texts and offers a highly speculative new stemma for their development. Four other contributions deal with other aspects of the Theology and the related De causis. The remaining six papers consider other pseudo-Aristotelian texts. The collection as a whole raises more questions than it answers, but represents an important body of scholarship which should spur further research in a number of areas.
