Submitted by David Wirmer on 16th September 2019
A complete edition by Dr. Jesse Mashbaum of Gersonides’ supercommentary on Averroes’ Short Commentary (or Epitome) on De Anima is now available here on the Community/Publications page. This edition, originally compiled in 1984, is now published for the first time with a short philological introduction. It supplements Dr. Mashbaum’s earlier partial edition and translation of chapters 9–12 of this same text (Diss. Brandeis University, 1981) widely in use among scholars.

Middle Commentary on De Anima
Submitted by David Wirmer on 15th October 2018
This commentary on Aristotle’s On the Soul can probably be dated to 577/1181. Whether it was composed before or after the Long Commentary on the same work is highly debated in the research literature.
