The Arabic Plotinus: A Philosophical Study of the Theology of Aristotle

Record summary

Georges T. H. A. Juynboll and related scholarship on the Arabic Plotinus tradition, including studies published around this period, provide a lead into the pseudo-Aristotelian Theology of Aristotle and its role in Islamic metaphysical thought. The text was historically attributed to Aristotle but derives substantially from Plotinian material, making it valuable for studying transmission, pseudepigraphy, emanation, and hidden wisdom. It is not an occult report or proof of mystical cosmology. Researchers should identify the exact edition or article intended, since several major studies and translations appeared under closely related titles.
