Paul Lettinck has restored a lost text of Philoponus by translating it for the first time from Arabic (only limited fragments have survived in the original Greek). The text, recovered from annotations in an Arabic translation of Aristotle, is an abridging paraphrase of Philoponus'' commentary on Physics Books 5-7, with two final comments on Book 8. The Simplicius text, which consists of his comments on Aristotle''s treatment of the void in chapters 6-9 of Book 4 of the Physics, comes from Simplicius'' huge commentary on Book 4. Simplicius'' comments on Aristotle''s treatment of place and time have been translated by J. O. Urmson in two earlier volumes of this series.

An account of what Arabic scholars have written, either as commentators or as more independent authors, on the subjects treated in Aristotle's Meteorology, this work investigates how they were influenced by one another and by previous Greek commentators.For each subject a survey is given of the content of the Greek commentaries (by Alexander, Philoponus and Olympiodorus) as well as of a later treatise, ascribed to Olympiodorus and extant only in Arabic. Then, the Arabic version of Ibn al-Bitriq is investigated; it was one of the sources used by the Arabic writers which are discussed after that: al-Kindi, Ibn Sina and later scholars who were inspired by him, Ibn Bajja and Ibn Rusd.Two Arabic treatises on subjects from the Meteorology are edited and translated.

Aristotle's Physics and Its Reception in the Arabic World presents a survey of what Arabic philosophers, as commentators of Aristotle's Physics, have contributed to philosophy and science in the Middle Ages. It investigates to what extent they influenced one another and to what extent they were influenced by previous Greek commentators.Besides Ibn Bajja's commentary on the Physics, which had up to now only partially been edited, the commentaries of Ibn as-Samh, Abu Bisr Matta, Abu l-Faraj ibn at-tayyib and Ibn Rusd are surveyed and discussed. The book also contains an account of an Arabic paraphrase of Philoponus' commentary on the Physics, which is of special interest because this commentary was partly lost.A special feature of the book is the edition of the unpublished parts of Ibn Bajja's commentary.
