This is the first critical edition of Epistles 15-21 of the Brethren of Purity, which explore the natural sciences and correspond to Aristotle's great works on philosophy of nature. Carla Baffioni illuminates the Epistles' relation to Greek philosophy, with particular focus on various doctrines of Ismaili origin that are echoed in the treatises.

Liana Saif, The The Times Literary Supplement Camela Baffioni's translation is masterly and will prove a staple reference in scholarship on the Brethren.

Johannes Thomann, Journal of Islamic Studies The translation is distinguished by its clarity without any loss of precision, which makes reading it a pleasure. It is an admirable achievement that C. Baffioni was able to produce this volume of almost one thousand pages only three years after her edition of the logical parts of the Epistles. ... A large number of scholars within and outside Arabic studies will be grateful for this solid foundation for future work.
