This is the first edition of this text to appear in over forty years, and the first ever to make use not only of the twelve medieval manuscripts but also of the Oxyrhynchus papyrus fragment of this work (first published in 1986). The lengthy commentary attempts to explain this difficult (and often corrupt) text and its relationship to Aristotle’s meteorological theory and scientific methodology.Philosophia antiqua ;Volume 147.WindsEarly works to 1800WindsMiddle EastEarly works to 1800MeteorologyHistorySourcesElectronic books.WindsWindsMeteorologyHistory551.518Mayhew Robert326431MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910511737103321On winds2552456UNINA
