Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, Oversize LJS 25. 1275. Aristotle's Metaphysics and Nicomachean ethics, in the Latin editions by the Dominican William of Moerbeke, probably translated from the Greek by Grosseteste. This text is followed by the first page of the Oeconomica, a work commonly attributed to Aristotle, in the Latin translation known as the translatio Durandi, attributed to Durand of Auvergne. The Aristotle texts are preceded by a table of contents for the Nicomachean ethics. The outer bifolium of the first gathering (before f. 1 and after f. 10), containing the beginning of the Metaphysics, a gathering after f. 22, and two leaves after f. 72 are all lacking. Many early marginal notes, some affected by cropping, and occasional manicules. Penn Libraries Catalog: go to Find
