Closing Words 397 Index codicum manu scriptorum 402 Index nominum 405 PREFACE This volume contains the papers read at an international colloquium on "Aristotle's Animals in the Middle Ages and Renaissance". Since 1994 a research group from the De Wulf-Mansion Centre (Institute of Philo- sophy) has been working on the tradition and reception of Aristotle's biology in the Middle Ages. The principal result of this project, which is endowed by the Research Fund of the Catholic University of Leuven and the Flemish "Fund for Scientific Research", will be the edition of De historia animalium, prepared by Pieter Beullens and Fernand Bos- sier for the "Aristoteles Latinus". In June 1996 an international work- shop was organized on "The Tradition of Aristotle's De historia ani malium" (a report of which was published in the Bulletin de Philosophie Medievale 38 [1996], 169-176). This workshop launched the conference held at the Institute of Medieval Studies in May 1997. Although most contributions in this volume primarily concern scientific texts, several papers explore the integration of zoological information into a symbolical or moral discourse. For the links between "the two cultures" - between the sphere of natural science and the sphere of art and religion - were still very strong in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as is made clear in the introductory paper which analyzes Thomas Aquinas' exploitation of Aristotelian zoology in his exegesis of the sacred rhetoric of Job. In fact, zoology remained for centuries a science based on texts, a corpus of commentaries on the Philosopher's books. Accordingly, the reception of Aristotle's zoologi cal works is studied in this volume from the perspectives of three disci- plines, viz. the history of texts, the history of philosophy, and cultural history. The first section of this volume is devoted to the fortune of Aristo tle's zoological treatises in the West. Michael Scot's De animalibus, and especially his translation of an Arabic version of the Historia ani malium, is the object of Aafke van Oppenraay's research. Mauro Zonta presents the most important Hebrew authors whose knowledge of Peri- patetic zoology was based on the Arabic and Arabico-Latin traditions. Pieter Beullens explains the manner in which Scot's translation of the zoological texts was transformed into a widespread florilegium. A second group of scholars study the influence of Aristotle's zoo logy on some representative philosophical and scientific texts. Remke Kruk focuses on the transmission of this zoology in the Arabic culture, PREFACE particularly in al-Marwazi's Book on the Natures ofAnimals. The pres- ence of De animalibus in Arnoldus Saxo's De floribus rerum natura- lium, the oldest scholastic encyclopedia, is investigated by Isabelle Draelants. Henryk Anzulewicz draws attention to the manner in which Albertus Magnus made use of Aristotle's zoology in his early writings. Miguel de Asüa situates Peter of Spain's Commentary on De animali bus within the context of the thirteenth-century debate between medi- cine and philosophy. Taking a different point of view, Silvia Nagel dis- tinguishes two redactions of Peter's Commentary on De animalibus. Christian Hünemörder uncovers the sources of zoological ideas in the third version of Thomas of Cantimpre's De natura rerum. Theodor Köhler demonstrates that Aristotle's zoology determined the develop- ment of scholastic epistemology and anthropology. Guy Guldentops describes the topos of the sagacious bee, as it appears in some thir teenth-century philosophical texts. Stefano Perfetti scrutinizes the hermeneutical methods that renowned Renaissance philosophers applied in their commentaries on De partibus animalium. Aristotle's apport to embryology in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries is sketched by Jan Papy. Finally, two examples of the literary and artistic adaptations of Aris totle's zoological writings are introduced. Baudouin van den Abeele sheds light on a fourteenth-century moralizing allegory of De animali bus, and Michael Camille examines the relationship between Aristo tle's zoology and illuminations in medieval manuscripts. Many interesting subjects were not discussed at the Conference. To our surprise, there were few papers on the fortune of Moerbeke's new translation of the zoological corpus, even though it included the previ- ously little known treatises De motu animalium and De progressu ani malium. Scot's translation was apparently so predominant in the Latin West that Moerbeke's labour left few traces. A thorough inquiry into the influence of the latter's Graeco-Latin translations is a desideratum. Albert the Great's major commentary on De animalibus, still awaiting an adequate critical edition, deserves more attention. The reception of the biological works in Byzantium is an altogether unexplored area. However lacunous this volume may be, the editors hope it will offer an attractive survey of the current research on the medieval and early modern reception of Aristotelian zoology. If one reads through the diverse papers, then it becomes clear in how many different ways Ari stotle's books on animals have fertilized the cultural life of the Middle PREFACE Ages and the Renaissance. Thus, it is no exaggeration to claim that without the zoological doctrine of the Philosopher our culture would have lacked a great deal of its scientific realism and of its humanistic wealth. May this volume guide the reader through the fascinating world of "Aristotle's Animals", which are, as Allan Gotthelf observes in his C1osing Words, "everlasting in the way that is possible to them". We wish to express our gratitude to the "Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - Vlaanderen" and the "Universitaire Stichting van Belgie" for their generous financial aid. We are also indebted to Werner Verbeke, the secretary of the Institute of Medieval Studies, for his careful reading of the volume. C.S. - G.G. - P.B.

  • Why Stockton Folk Dance Camp Still Produces a Syllabus
    Syllabus of Dance Descriptions STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2018 FINAL In Memoriam Rickey Holden – 1926-2017 Rickey was a square and folk dance teacher, researcher, caller, record producer, and author. Rickey was largely responsible for spreading recreational international folk dancing throughout Europe and Asia. Rickey learned ballroom dance in Austin Texas in 1935 and 1936. He started square and contra dancing in Vermont in 1939. He taught international folk dance all over Europe and Asia, eventually making his home base in Brussels. He worked with Folkraft Records in the early years. He taught at Stockton Folk Dance Camp in the 1940s and 50s, plus an additional appearance in 1992. In addition to dozens of books about square dancing, he also authored books on Israeli, Turkish, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Greek, and Macedonian dance. STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2018 FINAL Preface Many of the dance descriptions in the syllabus have been or are being copyrighted. They should not be reproduced in any form without permission. Specific permission of the instructors involved must be secured. Camp is satisfied if a suitable by-line such as “Learned at Folk Dance Camp, University of the Pacific” is included. Loui Tucker served as editor of this syllabus, with valuable assistance from Karen Bennett and Joyce Lissant Uggla. We are indebted to members of the Dance Research Committee of the Folk Dance Federation of California (North and South) for assistance in preparing the Final Syllabus.

  • The Heraclitus Anecdote: De Partibus Animalium I 5.645A17-23
    Ancient Philosophy 21 (2001) ©Mathesis Publications 1 The Heraclitus Anecdote: De Partibus Animalium i 5.645a17-23 Pavel Gregoric Chapter 5 of the first book of Aristotle’s De Partibus Animalium contains a short self-contained treatise (644b22-645a36) which has been characterised as a ‘protreptic to the study of animals’ (Peck in Aristotle 1937, 97). Such a charac- terisation of the treatise may be misleading, because Aristotle does not seem to have composed it in order to motivate his audience to go out in the field and study animals, but rather to kindle their interest in the scientific account of ani- mals which he is about to provide. It is reasonable to suppose that Aristotle’s audience, eager to learn something valuable and dignified, needed an explanation of why they should like to hear, amongst other animals, about sponges, snails, grubs, and other humble creatures which are displeasing even to look at, not to mention witnessing the dissections that might have accompanied Aristotle’s lec- tures on animals (cf. Bonitz 1870, 104a4-17; Lloyd 1978). Aristotle explains why such ignoble animals deserve a place in a scientific account of animals and he illustrates that with an anecdote about Heraclitus. So one must not be childishly repelled by the examination of the humbler animals. For in all things of nature there is some- thing wonderful. And just as Heraclitus is said to have spoken to the visitors who wanted to meet him and who stopped as they were approaching when they saw him warming himself by the oven (e‰don aÈtÚn yerÒmenon prÚw t“ fipn“)—he urged them to come in without fear (§k°leue går aÈtoÁw efisi°nai yarroËntaw), for there were gods there too (e‰nai går ka‹ §ntaËya yeoÊw)—so one must approach the inquiry about each animal without aversion, since in all of them there is something natural and beautiful.

  • Pomponazzi on Identity and Individuation Han Thomas Adriaenssen Abstract. Aristotle Defines Growing As a Process in Which An
    Final version forthcoming in Journal of the History of Philosophy Pomponazzi on Identity and Individuation Han Thomas Adriaenssen Abstract. Aristotle defines growing as a process in which an individual living being persists as it accumulates new matter. This definition raises the question of what enables an individual to persist as its material composition continuously changes over time. This paper provides a systematic account of Pietro Pomponazzi’s answer to this question. In his De nutritione et augmentatione, Pomponazzi argues that individuals persist in virtue of their forms. Forms are individuated in part by their material, causal, and temporal origins, which commits Pomponazzi to the view that individuals necessarily have the material, causal, and temporal origins they do. I provide an account of why Pomponazzi was willing to this view. While his opponents remain unnamed, I argue that his arguments for this view are best read as addressing, among others, Paul of Venice and Gregory of Rimini. In On Generation and Corruption, Aristotle describes growing as a process in which “any and every part of the growing magnitude is made bigger . by the accession of something, and thirdly in such a way that the growing thing is preserved and persists” (321a18–22).1 For instance, when an animal grows as the result of the intake of food, all of its limbs grow larger as the result of the intake of new matter, in such a way that the same individual animal persists throughout the process. 1 All Aristotle translations are taken from the Jonathan Barnes edition of the Complete Works. 1 Final version forthcoming in Journal of the History of Philosophy Simple though it may perhaps appear, this definition confronted Aristotle’s later followers and commentators with a problem.

Vitruvius, the ancient Roman architectural au- thor, put forth an alternative to Aristotle’s theory by likening the generation of wind to the actions of the aeolipile, which he believed made artificial winds. As Vitruvius’s work proliferated during the sixteenth and seventeenth centu- ries, numerous natural philosophers, including Descartes, used the aeolipile as a model for nature. Yet, interpretations of Vitruvius’s text and of the relation of the aeolipile to natural winds varied according to definitions and concep- tions of air, wind, rarefaction, condensation, and vapor. 1. Introduction Numerous early modern natural philosophers, Aristotelians as well as their detractors, invoked the workings of the aeolipile to explain the origin and matter of winds. An aeolipile, in its simplest form, is a hollow metal ball or vessel that has one or two small openings. An external fire, or other source of heat, warms water placed within the ball until jets of steam and air shoot forth from the aperture or apertures. From antiquity to the seventeenth century, natural philosophers referred to this artificial device as evidence for specific theories of the wind. These writings typically cited Vitruvius, the ancient Roman author of De architectura, who gave the earliest Prelimary versions of the paper were presented at seminars sponsored by the Department of History and Science and Technology at Johns Hopkins University and by the Graduate School Field Committee in Medieval and Early Modern Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park.

  • A New Testimony on the Platonist Gaius
    A New Testimony on the Platonist Gaius Michele Trizio PART FROM a single Delphic inscription (FD III.4 103), the testimonia of the life and work of second-century AMiddle Platonist Gaius fall into two classes.1 The first includes first-hand observations of later philosophers up to Proclus: Porphyry, for instance, reports that Gaius was one of several authors read regularly by Plotinus’ entourage.2 Galen tells us that he followed the classes of two of Gaius’ pupils in Pergamum and Smyrna respectively.3 As to Proclus, he twice mentions Gaius, among other Platonists, in his commentaries on the Republic and the Timaeus.4 The second class of testimonia includes statements concerning Gaius’ scholarship on Plato in three important Greek MSS. The first of these, Paris.gr. 1962, is a ninth-century MS. of the so-called ‘philosophical collection’, which, among others entries, contains a pinax at f. 146v men- tioning ᾿Αλβίνου τῶν Γαίου σχολῶν ὑποτυπώσεων πλατωνικῶν δογµάτων.

  • Literary Approaches
    Chapter 2. Literary approaches There is a still-increasing quantity of evidence attesting to the long life and wide dissemination of `Properties', in the form of manuscripts, incunables and fragments of the 19 Books, and in other medieval writings deemed to be derived from the compilation. In the past, students of `Properties' worked in some isolation on locally available manuscripts and printed materials, and separate scholarly traditions developed in European countries, each with their own claims to affinity with Bartholomew. These include France, where he studied and where most of the Latin manuscripts reside; Germany, where he taught and wrote; Italy, birthplace of the Franciscan Order and location of the earliest vernacular translation; and England. Now, researchers have the benefit of easier access to manuscripts and incunables. In addition, they have the benefit of a century of insights and labours from other scholars and can gain a clearer picture of the context in which the compiler lived and worked. Over the past century, researchers have focused mainly on the identity and career of Bartholomaeus Anglicus; on the manuscript tradition of the Latin `Properties' and the English translation, On the Properties of Things; on the nature of the text; and on the genre that comprises `Properties' and other medieval compilations of knowledge. The accumulation of studies reflects changes in the way the modern world has responded to a medieval compilation of knowledge and its related concepts. The search for the compiler and his work In 1888 Léopold Delisle brought Bartholomew to the attention of European scholars when he catalogued and wrote about a set of singly-bound manuscripts in the Bibliothèque nationale, Paris, which all dealt with the properties of things.
