Abstract

Aristotle’s De motu animalium (MA) has been the object of renewed interest by Aristotelian scholarship in recent years, an interest of which this book is a quite extraordinary outcome. It contains a new critical edition of MA by Oliver Primavesi (with a nice English translation by Benjamin Morison) and nine interpretive essays, all of the highest-level quality, the whole being preceded by two richly detailed introductions by the Editors concerning the content (Rapp) and the text (Primavesi) of MA. Rapp’s philosophical Introduction accurately reconstructs the main debates on the topic, purpose, structure, and authenticity of the work, and discusses with a ‘neutral’ but critical overview the relevant interpretive and theoretical controversies so as to prepare the reader for a deep immersion into the book. In his philological Introduction, Primavesi retraces the history of MA’s modern critical editions from Bekker’s (1831), through Jaeger’s (1913), Torraca’s (1958), Louis’ (1973), the groundbreaking Nussbaum one (1975, 1978), up to his own radically renewed and somehow revolutionary edition. Through a full collation of the extant 47 manuscripts (see Appendix I) – and also considering Alexander’s extensive quotations from MA 7 and 8 in his De anima – Primavesi reassesses the entire manuscript tradition so
