This book offers a study of the history of the transmission of Aristotle’s treatises known under the collective denomation Parva naturalia
on the basis of all of the available manuscripts, as well as the
ancient and Byzantine receptions of the texts, with special focus on the
commentary on De sensu by Alexander of Aphrodisias and the
commentary on the other treatises of the collection by Michael of
Ephesus, which depends on prior exegetical materials known through
scholia that had not been edited so far. It uncovers a new independent
branch of the transmission, hitherto unknown to editors of Aristotle’s
text, for which the main witness is the neglected 15th-century
manuscript Berlin, Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Phillipps 1507. The
existence of this branch accounts for the special status of manuscrit
Vaticano, BAV, Vat. gr. 1339 and offers many opportunities to improve on
the current reconstruction of Aristotle’s text.
