Aristoteles. Habentur hoc volumine haec Theodoro Gaza interprete... De natura animalium... de partibus animalium... de generatione animalium. Theophrasti de historia plantarum... de causis plantarum... Alexandri Aprhodisiensis problemata..., Venice, Aldu
This edition comprises diverse translated essays, by Aristoteles mainly, as well as of other Aristotelians such as Theophrastus and Alexander of Aphrodisias, translated by Theodoros Gazis. Gazis had of course died in 1475 but the quality of his Latin translations acquired prestige through the years among the most significant scholars of Latin. Just a year after his death, in 1476 his translation De animalibus thus circulated, edited by the Cypriot Ludovicus Podocatharus, printed in Venice by Johann von Köln and Johann Manthen. The work was reissued three times more by other printers, also in Venice. Aldus included in the edition a lament by Ermolao Barbaro on the loss of Gazis and dedicated the book to Matheus Longius, secretary-in-chief to Emperor Maximilian I.
