Aristotle’s Historia Animalium is one of the most famous and influential zoological works that was ever written. It was translated into Arabic in the 9th century CE together with Aristotle’s other zoological works, On the Generation of Animals and On the Parts of Animals . As a result, the influence of Aristotelian zoology is widely traceable in classical Arabic literary culture and thought. The Arabic translation found its way into Europe through the 13th-century Latin translation by Michael Scotus, which was extensively used by medieval European scholars. A critical edition of the Arabic Historia Animalium has long been awaited, and Lourus Filius’s edition, based on all extant Arabic MSS, as well as on Scotus’s Latin translation, can rightly be seen as a scholarly landmark.

"Aristotle's De Animalibus was an important source of zoological knowledge for the ancient Greeks and for medieval Arabs and Europeans. In the thirteenth century, the work was twice translated into Latin. One translation was produced directly from the Greek by William of Moerbeke. An earlier translation, made available as a critical edition in the present volume for the first time, was produced through an intermediary Arabic translation (Kitāb al-Ḥayawān) by Michael Scot (1175--c. 1232). Scot's translation was one of the main sources of knowledge on animals in Europe and widely used until well into the fifteenth century. As a faithful translation of a translation produced by a Syriac-speaking Christian, the text contributes to our knowledge of Middle Arabic. The De Animalibus is composed of three sections: History of Animals (ten books), Parts of Animals (four books) and Generation of Animals (five books). Parts of Animals and Generation of Animals were published by Brill as Volumes 5.2 and 5.3 of the book series ASL in 1998 (ASL 5.2) and 1992 (ASL 5.3). The present Volume 5.1.a contains the first section of Scot's translation of History of Animals: the general introduction and books 1--3, with Notes. Editions of the two concluding parts of History of Animals, ASL 5.1.b, books 4--6 and ASL 5.1.c, books 7--10, are in preparation. Complete Latin-Arabic and Arabic-Latin indices of History of Animals will be published in due course".

This book provides a detailed analysis of Aristotle's  Parts of Animals.  It takes its bearings from the detailed natural history observations that inform, and in many ways penetrate, the philosophical argument.   This analysis raises the question of how easy it is to clearly disentangle what some might describe as the "merely" biological from the philosophical.   This book explores the notion and consequences of describing the activity in which Aristotle is engaged as philosophical biology.  Do readers of Aristotle have in mind organisms like sea squirts (ascidians) or sea cucumbers (holuthurians) when trying to understand Aristotle's argument regarding plant-like animals?  Do we need the phenomena in front of us to understand the terms of the philosophical argument in a richer way?  The discussion of plant-like animals is important to Aristotle because of the apparent continuum between plant and animal life.  Where does Aristotle draw the line?  Plant-like animals bring this question into focus and demonstrate the indeterminacy of any potential solution to the division.  This analysis of the Parts of Animals shows that the study of the nature of the organic world was Aristotle's way into such ontological problems as the relationship between matter and form, the interplay between form and function, and the heterogeneity of the many different kinds of being.

Aristoteles hat eine allgemeine, d.h. für Mensch und Tier gemeinsam konzipierte Theorie der Motivation: die Theorie der animalischen Ortsbewegung. Dieses Buch interpretiert die Theorie und analysiert ihre grundlegenden Begriffe. Im ersten, begriffsanalytisch gehaltenen Teil werden Aristoteles' Bestimmung der Lust/Leid-Empfindung, der Strebung und der drei Arten der Strebung behandelt. Im zweiten Teil folgt die zusammenhängende Interpretation der für die Theorie unmittelbar relevanten Texte. Dies sind De Anima III, Kapitel 9 bis 11, sowie die kleine Schrift De Motu Animalium (Kap. 6 bis 11). Im Resultat zeigt sich, dass Aristoteles' Motivationstheorie einen ganz eigenen Ansatz verfolgt, der, obgleich er stark auf den essentialistischen und hylemorphistischen Grundannahmen seiner Naturphilosophie aufbaut, interessante Perspektiven auf die Sachfragen bietet und die philosophische Debatte in der Handlungstheorie bereichern kann: Es ist gerade sein essentialistischer Naturbegriff, der es Aristoteles gestattet, dort zu überzeugenden Resultaten zu gelangen, wo die moderne Diskussion ins Stocken gekommen ist. Dies betrifft vor allem die Theorie der Strebung, die Psychophysik intentionaler Zustände und den Zusammenhang von Denken und Bewegung.
