"The richness of this book is shown not only by the incredible value of each of its chapters –all of them in line with the most updated research, amazingly interesting both for the neophyte and for the researcher– but also for the many methodological insights on the history of the transmission of texts and ideas that it provides. It is not only the result of a wonderful intellectual work but also a roadmap that shows how the research on the history of the reception of Aristotle has proceeded –and, even more importantly, points out countless new paths through which it is possible to continue this research."
