This book presents the oldest commentary on Aristotle written in Arabic, a compendium of
De Generatione et Corruptione
. Its author was the Imamite theologian Ibn Mūsā al-Nawbakhtī (fl. ca. 900), of whom a single work (among more than forty ones recorded) was known to be extant. This new text sheds light both on the Greek tradition– the author makes extensive use of Alexander’s lost commentary– and on the formative period of Shi’ism.
