Condition: Gut. CLXXXI, 337-819 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - PREFACE -- Sometime between 1028 and 1038, Ibn al-Haytham completed his monumental optical synthesis, Kitäb al-Manäzir ("Book of Optics"). By no later than 1200, and perhaps somewhat earlier, this treatise appeared in Latin under the title De aspectibus. In that form it was attributed to a certain "Alhacen." These differences in title and authorial designation are emblematic of the profound differences between the two versions of the treatise. In many ways, in fact, they can be regarded not simply as different versions of the same work, but as different works in their own right. The underlying point of this observation is so obvious that it can all-too-easily pass unremarked and thus unheeded: translation is not a straightforward conversion-process. To translate, as its Latin form interpretare suggests, is to interpret. Accordingly, the Arab author, Ibn al-Haytham, and his Latin incarnation, Alhacen, represent two distinct, sometimes even conflicting, interpretive voices. The same holds for their respective texts. -- To complicate matters, "Alhacen" does not even represent a single interpretive voice. As we shall see in due course, there were at least two translators at work on the Latin text, one of them (Gerard of Cremona?) hewing as faithfully as possible to the Arabic original, the other content with distilling, even paraphrasing, the Arabic original. Consequently, the Latin text presents not one, but at least two faces to the reader. The Latin text is also markedly different from its Arabic source in organization. To start with, in lacking the first three chapters of book 1 of the Kitäb al-Manäzir, the Latin text is missing almost half of that book in its original form. This turns out to be a significant omission in terms not only of amount, but also of content, for it is in those three chapters that Ibn al-Haytham sets forth key methodological principles for later discussion. Furthermore, the internal structure of the Latin text according to chapters, subsections, and even paragraphs is often at variance with that of the Arabic original. The analytic flow is therefore not precisely the same in the two texts, a fact that has a significant, albeit subtle, impact upon how the treatise is assimilated by the reader. -- The two texts also differ according to lectorial perspective. The conceptual prism through which a medieval Arab scholar would have read the Kitäb al-Manäzir is fundamentally different from that through which his scholastic Latin counterpart would have read the De aspectibus.
