Conclusion. 330 $aThis book examines the transmission processes of the Aristotelian Mechanics. It does so to enable readers to appreciate the value of the treatise based on solid knowledge of the principles of the text. In addition, the book?s critical examination helps clear up many of the current misunderstandings about the transmission of the text and the diagrams. The first part of the book sets out the Greek manuscript tradition of the Mechanics, resulting in a newly established stemma codicum that illustrates the affiliations of the manuscripts. This research has led to new insights into the transmission of the treatise, most importantly, it also demonstrates an urgent need for a new text. A first critical edition of the diagrams contained in the Greek manuscripts of the treatise is also presented. These diagrams are not only significant for a reconstruction of the text but can also be considered as a commentary on the text. Diagrams are thus revealed to be a powerful tool in studying processes of the transfer and transformation of knowledge. This becomes especially relevant when the manuscript diagrams are compared with those in the printed editions and in commentaries from the early modern period. The final part of the book shows that these early modern diagrams and images reflect the altered scope of the mechanical discipline in the sixteenth century. 410 0$aBoston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science,$x0068-0346 ;$v316 606 $aPhilology 606 $aHistory 606 $aClassical Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/728000 606 $aPhilology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N33000 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 615 0$aPhilology. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aClassical Studies. 615 24$aPhilology. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a900 700 $avan Leeuwen$b Joyce$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0909718 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254788103321 996 $aThe Aristotelian Mechanics$92035815 997 $aUNINA
