Aristotle’s Parva Naturalia: with On the Motion of Animals

David Bolotin
Role: Translator
Written by a tutor of 38 years at St. John’s College.

David Bolotin’s translation of Aristotle’s Parva Naturalia aims above all at fidelity to the Greek. It treats Aristotle as a teacher regarding the topics that he discusses, and hence it tries to convey their meaning, to the extent possible, of his every word. Aristotle clearly intended these treatises as a sequel to his De Anima and Bolotin’s translation is a sequel to his translation of that work.
