Description

Fragment of an Arabic translation of a Greek ethical treatise of unknown authorship published by A.R. Badawi as “Maqāla fī al-madkhal ilā ʿilm al-akhlāq” in his edition of Isḥāq b. Ḥunayn’s (d. 289/910-11) Arabic translation of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics (Kuwait, 1979), 391-431 based on the appendix contained in the Fas manuscript of the latter. This fragment corresponds to pp. 395 and 396 of Badawi’s edition and deals with economics (tadbīr al-manzil) and politics (al-siyāsa).
