ARISTOTELES, Über die Seele. Übersetzt von W. Theiler. Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, Darmstadt, 1986. 7th ed. 157p. Original black gilt titled cloth with dust wrps. Series: Aristoteles Werke in deutscher Übersetzung, Band 13. Nice copy. Professor Theiler's translation of the 'De Anima' is an important and interesting addition to the series (Aristoteles' Werke in deutscher Übersetzung - ND). In the introduction a brief account is given of the development of Aristotle's psychology; this is accompanied by an analysis of the treatise, and by information essential to the student. The detailed notes are precise and informative and generally hit the nail on the head. Theiler says that their purpose is simply to make clear the meaning in the light of Aristotle's general system, with the minimum of reference to the disputes of expositors; but this is perhaps too modest a description. They also embody original comment which will make them well worth the attention of scholars (...). ' (D.J. ALLAN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1961, pp.219-20). € 20.00 (Antiquarian)
