Abstract

106 ralus fontium for Adelard's treatises, the relevant references are tnixecl in with ex- planatory notes and follows the English translation, which is a good hermeutic guide and gives access to the text even for those readers who are less familiar with subject and content. Nonetheless, relating these references to the Latin text and putting separate explanatory notes underneath the English translation would have been a better solution. At the end of the book one can find an (again) in- tegrated index of names, places and subjects-partly in English, partly in Latin (pp. 280-287). But these critical remarks are marginal. The present edition of the three dialogues of Adelard of Bath with his nephew opens up a striking insight-even to a wider audience-into an important devel- opment in the history of natural philosophy and natural science in the twelfth century, which can be seen as the point of departure for the modern understand- ing of natural science and finally led to the reception of the Aristotelian libri fifiiuralrs.
