Themistius’ (4th century CE) paraphrase of Aristotle’s Metaphysics 12 is the earliest surviving complete account of this seminal work. Despite leaving no identifiable mark in Late Antiquity, Themistius’ paraphrase played a dramatic role in shaping the metaphysical landscape of Medieval Arabic and Hebrew philosophy and theology. Lost in Greek, and only partially surviving in Arabic, its earliest full version is in the form of a 13th century Hebrew translation.
In this volume, Yoav Meyrav offers a new critical edition of the Hebrew translation and the Arabic fragments of Themistius’ paraphrase, accompanied by detailed philological and philosophical analyses. In doing so, he provides a solid foundation for the study of one of the most important texts in the history of Aristotelian metaphysics.

Themistius’ Paraphrase of Aristotle’s Metaphysics 12: A Critical Hebrew-Arabic Edition of the Surviving Textual Evidence, with an Introduction, Preliminary Studies, and a Commentary
"Yoav Meyrav’s publication is a stunningly impressive work of scholarship. He has produced a meticulous edition of the text, scrutinizing the available Hebrew and Arabic sources, and sorting them out according to their distance from the original—translation, revised translation, abridgment. However, there is much more here than philology—Hebrew, Arabic, and Greek—as well as a significant contribution to translation studies. Meyrav takes responsibility for advancing the appreciation of the philosophical content of the paraphrase. Moreover, given that the Greek original is lost, he senses and meets an obligation to classicists to squeeze what he can from the text that is relevant to their discipline, notably regarding the genre of the paraphrase." - Tzvi Langermann, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2020
