Besides presenting a number of original philosophical views, the commentary provides a fascinating assessment of the history of the medieval interpretations of the “Metaphysics.” This volume makes available to scholars the core of Paul s writing by presenting the first critical edition of Book VII and sheds some light on the complex network of Paul s philosophical sources.
