Aristotle's Metaphysics

English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.

Aristotle's Metaphysics is a foundational work originally written in Greek, and it has been translated into English many times directly from the Greek. Cardinal Bessarion's 1515 Latin translation is a Renaissance-era rendering of the work into Latin. While the work itself exists in many English translations, there is no evidence of an English translation based specifically on Bessarion's Latin text. Therefore, this is a 'first_from_source' case, as English translations exist from the original Greek, but not from this specific Latin version.
