A question long plaguing students of the history of medieval sciences is answered. The contributors show that ARISTOTLE'S BOOK OF MINERALS "is a translation - more or less satisfactory and not always complete - of passages occuring in Avicennae's great work THE BOOK OF THE REMEDY. Topics include geology, chemistry, astronomy, metaphysics, alchemy, transmutation, psychology, and much more. Paper binding with black text to covers. An extremely scarce copy in very good condition, as it has not been read: pages remain uncut. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions!
