Notes:

Ibn Rushd exerted an influence not only upon Islamic philosophy but, to an even greater extent, upon European intellectual traditions as well. A clear indication of this impact is that his commentary on Aristotle’s Physics was translated into Latin even before Aristotle’s original text itself was rendered into that language. As is well known, Ibn Rushd composed three commentaries on Aristotle’s Physics: the short commentary (al-shar? al-?agh?r, Jaw?mi? al-Sam?? al-?ab???), the middle commentary (al-shar? al-awsa?, the Talkh??), and the long commentary (al-shar? al-kab?r, the Tafs?r). However, what has come down to us from these works is limited to the Arabic text of the short commentary, the Latin translation of the long commentary, and the Hebrew translation of the middle commentary. By fortunate chance, a small Arabic fragment of the middle commentary has also been preserved, containing a summary of its contents; this fragment has been included as an appendix to the present volume.
