In his typically thorough manner, Baumstark in this volume on Aristotle and his legacy in Syriac and Arabic deals with two subjects: first, the Syriac material on the life of Aristotle, especially in comparison with what occurs in Arabic historians; second, Syriac commentaries on Porphyry’s Eisagoge (Introduction). The Syriac texts are given at the end of the volume, and Baumstark gives German translations of them, along with a very detailed study of the complex textual histories connected with these and related texts. The book will be of immense interest to those who study the transmission of Greek philosophy into Syriac and Arabic.
