----- Original Message ----- From: "Regina Roth" <roth@bbaw.de> Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 5:14 PM Dear Jerry, <snip, JL> With regard to the work of Marx on Aristotle's "De Anima" I would like to ask you to forward the following information to Howard Engelskirchen: Marx did work on Aristotle's "De Anima" probably in the first half year of 1840. There have been three note-books containing his excerpts; two of them have come down to us and have been published in MEGA-volume IV/1, pp. 155-182 (on pp.733-750 there is further information on these texts and also a critical apparatus).Within these excerpts there are major parts translated into German, mostly by Marx himself, sometimes with the help of a latin translation. Some of the translated passages correspond to Hegels translations used in his "Lectures on the history of philosophy", so Marx should know them. In addition to the translations and a few notes in greek there are also some commentaries from Marx. Yet, this is not the first German translation of this work of Aristotle, without knowing excactly when and by whom such a translation was made. A Russian collegue is just examining Marx's work on ancient authors, and I will let you know as soon as I get further information by him. Hope this could help. Best wishes Regina
