"We gain two great benefits from this new editio maior of Aristotle's Poetics: a careful working- through and discussion of the Arabic witness to the text, and, consequently, an excellent apparatus criticus. [...] this is a valuable tool for those working on the Poetics and should become the edition of reference. Gutas' treatment of the Arabic text and Tarán's work on the MSS are exemplary."
