Summary Aristotle's De longitudine et brevitate vitae is a natural philosophical treatise on the factors influencing lifespan in plants and animals. It became accessible to Latin scholars in the medieval West by means of its first Greek-Latin translation. This translation, also known as the translatio vetus, was made by James of Venice in the first half of the twelfth century. Being part of a collection called the Corpus vetustius, James's translation of the treatise circulated widely, especially during the thirteenth century. The present volume offers the first critical edition of James's translation of De longitudine et brevitate vitae, including Greek-Latin and Latin-Greek indices. The edition is preceded by both an in-depth examination of the known Latin manuscript tradition in its entirety and a penetrating inquiry into the translation's relation to the Greek tradition of the treatise as we know it today. The 112 extant Latin manuscripts go back no further than the thirteenth century. They reveal that James's translation has been subject to desperate contamination and textual corruption. The Greek model used by James is now lost. This model, however, must have been very closely related to the Greek treatise as transmitted in a few extant manuscripts dating from the fourteenth century.
