Description
New insights into Pietro d'Abano's unique approach to translations.
The commentary of the Italian physician and philosopher Pietro d'Abano on Bartholomew of Messina's Latin translation of Pseudo-Aristotle's Problemata Physica, published in 1310, constitutes an important historical source. In a section of the corpus Aristotelicum that was not part of the standard curriculum at the medieval university, the commentary of Pietro d'Abano investigates the complex relationship between text, translation, and commentary. The eight articles in this volume provide valuable insights into the manner in which Pietro d'Abano deals with the problems of a translated text. They emphasize the idiosyncrasy of his approach in comparison to his contemporaries and successors, the particularities of his commentary in light of the habitual exegetical practices applied in the teaching of curricular texts, as well as the influence of philosophical traditions outside the strict framework of the medieval arts faculty.
This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).

Reviews / Votes
Intelligemment concu et realise, cet ouvrage collectif permet d'avoir un apercu global et synthetique sur l'activite philosophique, astrologique et medicale de Pietro d'Abano, plus particulierement sur son 'Expositio Problematum Aristotilis'.M. Cacouros, Scriptorium 2019/2 Les huit contributions sont toutes tres interessantes, notamment l'edition critique de la courte preface de Pietro et le long article de Gijs Coucke << From abstinence to Promiscuity >> qui, en comparant Pietro a deux autres medecins sur le probleme dela dietetique sexuelle, montre que Pietro est moins original qu'il y parait.
