About
The Project Aristotle One and Many. The Arabic Pseudepigrapha (ArOMa) is focused upon a group of seminal sources, part and parcel of the formation of intellectual discourse in the Middle Ages, and forming a common basis of understanding between the cultures on both sides of the Mediterranean, until the today. One of the prominent features of Medieval Aristotelianism, both Arabic and Latin, is the fact that Aristotle has been credited with writings that, albeit different in origin and sometimes of differing philosophical affiliations, circulated under his name. ArOMa focused on the works falsely attributed to Aristotle in the Arabic philosophical literature translated or forged in the 9th-10th cent. The corpus of ‘Pseudo-Aristotelica Arabica’ includes two categories of texts: A. Arabic versions of works falsely attributed to Aristotle already in Greek. B. Medieval Arabic forgeries. To these will be added: C. Commentaries on such works (including abridgements, paraphrases etc.).
