Omschrijving
Sergius of Reshaina’s Syriac exposition of Aristotle’s Categories, with its discussion on substance, quantity, quality, relatives and the other categories, but also the teaching on space from the Physics, is presented here in a critical edition with an English translation.
“Aydin’s book not only makes available an important source for the late ancient Alexandrian tradition, but also provides us with further evidence for Sergius’ contribution to the history of Syriac philosophy.” Yury Arzhanov in Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies 24/1 (2021)
Sami Aydin, Ph.D. (2015), Uppsala University, is a researcher in Semitic languages at The Department of Linguistics and Philology (UU), where he conducts research on philosophical and zoological writings in Syriac. He has previously published a Syriac grammar in Swedish.
