Excerpt from Aristotle's Researches in Natural Science Aristotle's researches in Natural Science are set forth in a series of his works, some of which have already received a great deal of attention, while the rest have been much neglected. Translations, with or without explanatory notes, of all these works have been produced in English, French, German, or Latin, and separate treatises or papers discussing Aristotle's researches in one or more branches of Natural Science have been published from time to time. Among such treatises and papers may be mentioned J. Muller's Uber den glatten Hai des Aristoteles, &c., Berlin, 1842, a folio volume with six plates, relating, in part, to the placental cartilaginous fishes of Aristotle; J. B. Meyer's Aristoteles Thierkunde, Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Zoologie, Physiologic, und alten Philosophic, Berlin, 1855; H. Aubert's Die Cephalopoden des Aristoteles, &c., Lepzig, 1862, 39 pp.; C. J. Sundevall's Die Thierarten des Aristoteles von den Klassen der Saugethiere, Vogel, Reptilien und Insekten, Stockholm, 1863; G. H. Lewes' Aristotle: A Chapter from the History of Science, London, 1864; and Dr. J. Young's paper "On the Malacostraca of Aristotle," published in The Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 1865. There are also several works and papers which incidentally give valuable assistance in the study of Aristotle's researches in Natural Science, e.g. Cuvier and Valenciennes' Histoire Naturelle des Poissons, Paris, 1828-49; J. L. Ideler's Meteorologia veterum Gr corum et Romanorum, Berlin, 1832; Spratt and Forbes' Travels in Lycia, &c., London, 1847; Hoffman and Jordan's "Catalogue of the Fishes of Greece, with Notes on the Names now in Use, and those Employed by Classical Authors," published in the Proceedings of the Academy of Sciences of Philadelphia, for 1892; D'A. W. Thompson's Glossary of Greek Birds, Oxford, 1895; and T. Gill's "Parental Care among Freshwater Fishes," published in the Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, 1906.

Aristotle argued that in theory one could acquire knowledge of the natural world. But he did not stop there; he put his theories into practice. This volume of new essays shows how Aristotle's natural science and philosophical theories shed light on one another. The contributors engage with both biological and non-biological scientific works and with a wide variety of theoretical works, including Physics, Generation and Corruption, On the Soul, and Posterior Analytics. The essays focus on a number of themes, including the sort of explanation provided by matter; the relationship between matter, teleology, and necessity; cosmic teleology; how an organism's soul and faculties relate to its end; how to define things such as sleep, void, and soul; and the proper way to make scientific judgments. The resulting volume offers a rich and integrated view of Aristotle's science and shows how it fits with his larger philosophical theories.
During his tenure as the Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford from 1905-1919, Sir William Osler amassed a considerable library on the history of medicine and science. A Canadian native, Osler had studied at McGill University and decided to leave his collection of 7,600 items to its Faculty of Medicine. A catalogue, the Bibliotheca Osleriana, was compiled - a labour of love that took ten years to complete and involved W.W. Francis, R.H. Hill, and Archibald Malloch. Osler himself laid down the broad outlines of the catalogue and wrote many of the annotations.
