Publisher description
Excerpt from The Poetics of Aristotle: Translated From Greek Into English and From Arabic Into Latin, With a Revised Text, Introduction, Commentary, Glossary and Onomasticon
That which is difficult to one who has not Aristotle's glosses before him or in mind becomes easy so soon as they are produced. Thus the second proposition of the book, viz. That creative art simulates with things differing in kind just as reproductive art simulates with Colour, Figure and Sound, is difficult only to one who does not know the meaning of differing in kind which Aristotle repeatedly explains as differing in Category, 1 appealing to different senses 2 or faculties, like Colour, Figure and Sound.3 The text becomes easy so soon as the glosses are quoted while the German emendation which substitutes in for categorically becomes difficult, because it violates a canon of the Topics.4 These glosses, then, it becomes the duty of the editor to collect.
