Reviews

The richness of this book is shown not only by the incredible value of each of its chapters -all of them in line with the most updated research, amazingly interesting both for the neophyte and for the researcher- but also for the many methodological insights on the history of the transmission of texts and ideas that it provides. It is not only the result of a wonderful intellectual work but also a roadmap that shows how the research on the history of the reception of Aristotle has proceeded -and, even more importantly, points out countless new paths through which it is possible to continue this research.
