1551 1ed ALDINE Aristotle Meteorology Weather Comets + Byzantine Olympiodorus
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
― Aristotle
'Meteorology' is one of Aristotle's most famous and important treatises. While the majority of his works stem from philosophy, this one is strictly from a scientific viewpoint – a view in which Aristotle sought to collect and describe all of the major weather patterns and properties including water evaporation, earthquakes, tornadoes, lightning and thunder, and wind and fire. This work is thought to be one of the earliest on hydrology as well as an early work on the earth being a sphere!
In the 5th-century, Byzantine astrologer Olympiodorus the Younger wrote a commentary on Aristotle's 'Meteorology'. In his commentary and notes, he mentions a comet that he observed in the year 565. This commentary is notable because it is the only ancient commentary on meteorology that has survived in its entirety. It is curious though, that Olympiodorus's commentary is often paired with that of Johannes Philoponus, a 5th-century Christian philosopher and Aristotle commentator.
This 1551 first Aldine edition of Olympiodorus's commentary is extremely valuable
