Two English translations of the Various History, by Fleming (1576) and Stanley (1665) made Aelian's miscellany available to English readers, but after 1665 no English translation appeared, until three English translations appeared almost simultaneously: James G. DeVoto, Claudius Aelianus: Ποικίλης Ἱστορίας (Varia Historia ) Chicago, 1995; Diane Ostrom Johnson, An English Translation of Claudius Aelianus' "Varia Historia", 1997; and N. G. Wilson, Aelian: Historical Miscellany in the Loeb Classical Library. The text contains some claims that appear to be errors. Aristotle asserted in book II that female humans, sheep, goats, and swine have a smaller number of teeth than the males. This apparently false claim could have been a genuine observation, if as Robert Mayhew suggests [16] women at that time had a poorer diet than men; some studies have found that wisdom teeth erupt in men more often than women after age 25. [17] But the claim is not true of other species either. Thus, Philippa Lang argues, Aristotle may have been empirical, but he was quite laissez-faire about observation, "because [he] was not expecting nature to be misleading". [15]

Historia animalium et al., Constantinople, 12th century ( Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, pluteo 87.4) Aristotle's methods of observation included dissection (Aristotle's lost companion work, The Dissections, contained illustrations of these [14]), so he observed animal anatomy directly, though his interpretations of the functions of the structures he observed were subject to error. Like other classical authors such as Pliny the Elder, Aristotle also gathered evidence from travellers and people with specialised knowledge, such as fishermen and beekeepers, without much attempt to corroborate what they said.

Various History ( Ποικίλη ἱστορία, Poikílē historía)—for the most part preserved only in an abridged form [2]—is Aelian's other well-known work, a miscellany of anecdotes and biographical sketches, lists, pithy maxims, and descriptions of natural wonders and strange local customs, in 14books, with many surprises for the cultural historian and the mythographer, anecdotes about the famous Greek philosophers, poets, historians, and playwrights and myths instructively retold. The emphasis is on various moralizing tales about heroes and rulers, athletes and wise men; reports about food and drink, different styles in dress or lovers, local habits in giving gifts or entertainments, or in religious beliefs and death customs; and comments on Greek painting. Aelian gives accounts of, among other things, fly fishing using lures of red wool and feathers, lacquerwork, and serpent worship. Essentially, the Various History is a classical "magazine" in the original sense of that word. [ further explanation needed] He is not perfectly trustworthy in details, and his writing was heavily influenced by Stoic opinions, [6] perhaps so that his readers will not feel guilty, but Jane Ellen Harrison found survivals of archaic rites mentioned by Aelian very illuminating in her Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion (1903, 1922).Ailianos, Tierleben. Greek and German by Kai Brodersen. 2018. Sammlung Tusculum. De Gruyter Berlin & Boston 2018, ISBN 978-3-11-060932-5 The subject of Aristotle’s De Motu Animalium (hereafter MA) is animal (including human) self-motion. It is not about the various ways that different kinds of animals move (e.g. swimming, walking, flying), “but generally about the common cause of this moving (ὅλως δὲ περὶ τῆς κοινῆς αἰτίας τοῦ κινεῖσθαι)” (1, 698a1-7). Apart from its inherent importance, MA is also significant owing to its connections to so many other parts of the Aristotelian corpus—the biological works (especially De Partibus Animalium), the De Anima and Parva Naturalia, Physics VIII and Metaphysics Λ, as well as the ethical works—and for its implications for Aristotle’s conception of the relationship between soul and body. The History of Animals had a powerful influence on zoology for some two thousand years. It continued to be a primary source of knowledge until zoologists in the sixteenth century, such as Conrad Gessner, all influenced by Aristotle, wrote their own studies of the subject.

On the Nature of Animals (alternatively "On the Characteristics of Animals"; Ancient Greek: Περὶ ζῴων ἰδιότητος, Perì zṓōn idiótētos; usually cited by its Latin title De Natura Animalium) is a collection, [2] in seventeen books, of brief stories of natural history. Some are included for the moral lessons they convey; others because they are astonishing. a b c d Lennox, James (27 July 2011). "Aristotle's Biology". Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

History of Animals ( Greek: Τῶν περὶ τὰ ζῷα ἱστοριῶν, Ton peri ta zoia historion, "Inquiries on Animals"; Latin: Historia Animalium, "History of Animals") is one of the major texts on biology by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, who had studied at Plato's Academy in Athens. It was written in the fourth century BC; Aristotle died in 322 BC. French, Roger (1994). Ancient Natural History: Histories of Nature. Routledge. pp.92–99. ISBN 978-0-415-11545-2.This is the second Symposium Aristotelicum volume to include, in addition to interpretive essays, a critical edition of the subject text, and they are two of the finest volumes in the series. [12] I doubt this could be the model for every Symposium Aristotelicum volume, but I do hope some others appear in the future. Some of Aristotle's observations were not taken seriously by science until they were independently rediscovered in the 19th century. For example, he recorded that male octopuses have a hectocotylus, a tentacle which stores sperm and which can transfer it into the female's body; sometimes it snaps off during mating. [11] The account was dismissed as fanciful until the French naturalist Georges Cuvier described it in his 1817 Le Règne Animal. [12] Aristotle also noted that the young of the dogfish grow inside their mother's body attached by a cord to something like a placenta (a yolk sac). This was confirmed in 1842 by the German zoologist Johannes Peter Müller. [12] Aristotle noted, too, that a river catfish which he called the glanis cares for its young, as the female leaves after giving birth; the male guards the eggs for forty or fifty days, chasing off small fish which threaten the eggs, and making a murmuring noise. The Swiss American zoologist Louis Agassiz found the account to be correct in 1890.

I was pleased that Primavesi provided detailed evidence for the title of the work (often missing in even the best critical editions). To illustrate the philosophical method, consider one grouping of many kinds of animal, ' birds': all members of this group possess the same distinguishing features—feathers, wings, beaks, and two bony legs. This is an instance of a universal: if something is a bird, it has feathers and wings; if something has feathers and wings, that also implies it is a bird, so the reasoning here is bidirectional. On the other hand, some animals that have red blood have lungs; other red-blooded animals (such as fish) have gills. This implies, in Aristotle's reasoning, that if something has lungs, it has red blood; but Aristotle is careful not to imply that all red-blooded animals have lungs, so the reasoning here is not bidirectional.
