Antony Rhetoric (Watt 77, trans. 66) and Watt, Syriac rhetorical theory 254 (the “battle of the gods”). ” 106 Cf. Watt, Christianity in the renaissance of Islam 108–11. 107 Being the opposite (naqīḍ) of demonstration, their logic is at the furthest distance from the Posterior analytics, that is, at the Poetics (both of which Mattā translated into Arabic). While the specific enigmas under consideration here are those in the laws, and their nobility is therefore related to their enabling of civic life, we may reasonably suppose that Mattā would have similarly considered enigmas in the Scriptures and the lit urgy108 (as also the pagan fables and enigmas of Aristotle’s time) as noble on account of their parallel enabling of religious community, a community con sisting not only of philosophers who understand the logical “falsity” of enig mas and tales, but also of the multitudes who by means of them are able to obtain a limited appreciation of divine realities.
Peters, Aristoteles arabus 7–8. It is not impossible that he translated the whole of the Physics, if there was a Syriac version anterior to Isḥāq’s complete Arabic version, as Abū l-Ḥusayn, one of the editors of L, seems to imply. Cf. ibid. (30–2). The other treatises (of the thirteen to fifteen) are Topics, Sophistical refutations, Rhetoric, Poetics, On the heavens, and Ethics. 67 With the Aristotle translations we have no information about patrons, and therefore no direct evidence about the readership for which they were designed.
