Translating Aristotle
Although there were profound continuities in teaching Aristotle, the language in which students (and other readers) encountered these texts varied over time. Aristotelian works are written in Attic Greek. Many of Aristotle's works were translated into Arabic during the Abbasid Period (8th-13th centuries) and subsequently into Hebrew and Latin in the 12th and 13th centuries, as well as into a range of vernacular languages in the centuries that followed. The manuscripts and printed books displayed here represent some of the many languages through which readers encountered Aristotelian texts in the early modern period and beyond. From side-by-side multilingual editions and complete translations to abridged versions, Aristotle continues to speak in multiple languages and through a range of formats. One thing is sure: for over a millennium, reading Aristotle has not necessarily implied reading Greek.
