I’ve been meaning to get this #Italian translation of #Avicenna for some time because it’s by Amos Bertolacci #Avicenna_Metaphysics 1/
He has an extensive introduction on the text with details of the translation as well as corrections to the standard #Cairo edition that runs over 130pp #Avicenna_Metaphysics 2/
Bertolacci also runs the #ERC funded project on producing a critical edition, translation and study of #Avicenna_Metaphysics which is sorely needed project.avicennaproject.eu 3/
He has built up a database of all the relative manuscripts as well as of the commentaries and glosses and even some translations in #Persian 4/
Once we have the textual basis established it makes analysis and the writing of a fuller intellectual history of #Avicennism more possible and hopefully will become a model for other thinkers in the #Islamic tradition 5/
