Summary
The Book of Causes
The work, still attributed to an anonymous author, belongs to one of the key texts of the philosophy of the late Christian Middle Ages, and was translated from Arabic into Latin by Gerard of Cremona at the end of the 12th century. The text belongs to the pseudo-Aristotelian tradition, although there are also Neoplatonic interpretations that enable synthesis. The work is of a purely philosophical-ontological character in accordance with the well-known debates on first principles, and it was very influential in the period of the late Middle Ages. This is the first translation of that work into Croatian, and the edition is bilingual, Latin-Croatian, with an extensive commentary by the translator, the well-known media writer Marina Miladinov.
