An otherwise unattested overview of the Metaphysics by Alexander of Aphrodisias (2nd-3rd c.), the renown Greek commentator on Aristotle, rediscovered in the pages of the commentary on the Metaphysics by Ibn Rushd (Averroes, d. 1198), Aristotle’s most important Arabic exegete

My English translation and commentary of al-Ġazālī’s Intentions of the Philosophers is finally out, and I could not be happier! I poured a lot of myself into this book, and I am so very glad and grateful to see it in print (all the more so in the gorgeous green of SGA!).
