Why this is in the register

HOLLIS Primo search 'Psellos commentary Physics Aristotle' returns the editio princeps (Corpus philosophorum Medii Aevi, Commentaria in Aristotelem Byzantina 5, ed. Linos G. Benakis, Athens 2008), whose note reads 'Greek text, commentary in German', and nothing in English. The only earlier rendering is the Latin version of Joannes Baptista Camotius (Venice 1554), scanned at archive.org. No English translation was located (checked 2026-11-13).

Psellos's lecture commentary on Physics 1-8, a key witness to the eleventh-century revival of natural philosophy in Constantinople. The archive.org e-text is the 1554 Latin translation, not the Greek; the Greek was first printed only in 2008.

Existing translations recorded

None recorded in English. Non-English versions, where they exist, are named in the evidence above.
