Jāḥiẓ, -868 or 869. Ḥayawān

The Kitāb al-Ḥayawān (Arabic: كتاب الحيوان, lit. 'The Book of Animals', Latin: De Animalibus) is an Arabic translation of treatises (Arabic: مقالات, maqālāt) of Aristotle's: Historia Animalium: treatises 1–10 De Partibus Animalium: treatises 11–14 De Generatione Animalium: treatises 15–19 Medieval Arabic tradition ascribes the translation to Yahya Ibn al-Batriq, but contemporary scholarship does not support this attribution. Several complete manuscript versions exist in Leiden, London, and Tehran, but the text has been edited in separate volumes corresponding to the three Aristotelian sources. The Egyptian existentialist philosopher Abdel Rahman Badawi edited Treatises 1–10 (Historia Animalium) as Ṭibā‘ al-Ḥayawān and Treatises 11–14 (De Partibus Animalium) as Ajzā al-Ḥayawān. Treatises 15–19 (De Generatione Animalium) first appeared in the Aristoteles Semitico-Latinus series in 1971. This series then published Treatises 11–14 in 1979 and Treatises 1–10 in 2018.
