The present paper reconstructs the history of the Hebrew translation of Averroes's Epitome of Aristotle's Physics, from the initial work of Moses Ibn Tibbon in 1250 to a comprehensive, much later anonymous revision. After sorting out the Arabic source material upon which Moses Ibn Tibbon based his work, I argue that several parts of the text transmitted in the printed version of Riva di Trento (1559) are not his work but are based on an elaborate revision process. This revision survives in three codices and relies on a different version of Averroes's Arabic text than the one available to Moses Ibn Tibbon. This revision, which includes a completely new introduction to Book 8 of the Physics, contains additional editorial processes that pertain to the entire body of Averroes'sĀ epitomes.
