Description

Book Synopsis: (UPDATE - The interested reader might also want to have a look at "Hermes Vocabulary Trainer" - our free online language tool)This a trilingual edition of Aristotle's Metaphysics. Each paragraph has an English, Latin, and (original) Ancient Greek rendition. Students of Classics should find in this trilingual edition a helpful device to approach Aristotle's original Ancient Greek. Readers with intermediate knowledge of Latin might want to use the Digital Latin English Lexicon we published (the lexicon is recognized as a dictionary by Kindle devices and allows pop-up definitions of terms, finding even the inflected forms). Similarly, readers with intermediate knowledge of Ancient Greek might find it helpful to use the Digital Ancient Greek - English Lexicon, also published by us (and perhaps the Modern Greek - English lexicon published by our sister project). The English translation is David Ross' (1908), and the Latin part belongs to William of Moerbeke's medieval translation. William of Moerbeke's translation was commissioned by Thomas Aquinas, who wanted a Latin rendition as close as possible to the original Greek. As a result, the Latin version does violence at times to the normal Latin syntax, but is very useful for language learning when read in parallel with Aristotle's original text.
