Most of Aristotle’s work has been lost, but what has survived the messy history of transmission is an incredible and awe-inspiring collection of thoughts and observations. Though there certainly are better translations than mine out there, I would like to carefully examine the Greek texts over the course of my life and translate and retranslate them myself for my own sake–for pleasure and to improve my understanding of Ancient Greek and of Aristotle.
Please find below my own personal record of bits and pieces of Aristotle’s work I have translated as I build my @AristotleWalks page or use them in papers I write. The texts are ordered as follows: first, the texts with Bekker numbers, of August Immanuel Bekker (1785–1871); then, the texts without Bekker numbers.
The * indicates texts that are contested by scholars, i.e. scholars are unsure about whether that text was really written by Aristotle.
The ** indicates texts that are agreed to be spurious, i.e. fake.
