Note publique d'information : This book forms the complement to the first volume published in 2000. The preface
contains some remarks about the transmission of the text as a supplement to the first
volume. Then follow the critical edition of books VI-X, and the indices for the whole
text. The complete edition gives access to the longest and most important work from
Aristotle's zoology, 'De historia animalium', in the Latin translation by William
of Moerbeke. This version was part of the standard university curriculum in the late-medieval
West. The bilingual indices give access to the richness of the translator's vocabulary
and provide an indispensable tool for the study of his translation method. Except
for 'De partibus animalium', all of Moerbeke's translations from the Aristotelian
zoological corpus are now available in critical editions
