How grateful I was to Anubis when he finally consented to trust to my care this marvel of the temple treasures, when the first trial succeeded, and Antony, at my bidding, placed the magnificent wreath which he wore upon the bald brow of that crabbed old follower of Aristoteles, Diomedes, whom he detested in his inmost soul!
There was Alcibiades, the "curled son of Clinias," an accomplished young man, but what would be called a "swell" in these days. There was Aristoteles, a very distinguished writer, of whom you have heard, a philosopher, in short, whom it took centuries to learn, centuries to unlearn, and is now going to take a generation or more to learn over again. Regular dandy, he was.
Aristoteles quidem, auctoritate et auxiliis regum, et maxime Alexandri, fecit in Graeco quae voluit, et multis millibus hominum usus est in experientia scientiarum, et expensis copiosis, sicut historiae narrant."
For with Helen they came thither after they had seen their native city smoking in the fires of war. And now to that chivalrous race do the men whom Aristoteles brought, opening with swift ships a track through the deep sea, give greeting piously, and draw nigh to them with sacrifice and gifts.
He is also said to have been well versed in history, and to have paid some attention to philosophy by studying the writings of Aristoteles, in which he had for his teacher Alexander, a man who gave a proof of his moderation and easy temper in his intercourse with Crassus; for it was not easy to say whether he was poorer when he became acquainted with Crassus, or after the acquaintance was made.
First among the "Sylvae" come the six Latin poems of the Cambridge period In obitum Procancellarii Medici, In Quintum Novembris, In obitum Praesulis Eliensis, Naturam non pati Senium, De Idea Platonica quemadmodum Aristoteles intellexit, and Ad Patrem; then, by way of typographic interruption, come the two scraps of Greek verse viz.
He noted also similar appearances elsewhere, and termed them Murs enigmatiques. ARISTOTELES. A magnificent ring-plain, 60 miles in diameter, with a complex border, surmounted by peaks, rising to nearly 11,000 feet above the floor, one of which on the W., pertaining to a terrace, stands out as a brilliant spot in the midst of shadow when the interior is filled with shadow.
The subject of the Latin translations of Aristotle is traversed by A. and C. Jourdain, Recherches critiques sur l'âge des traductions latines d'Aristote, 2nd ed., Paris, 1843; M. Grabmann, Forschungen uber die lateinischen Aristoteles Ubersetzungen des XIII. Jahrhunderts, Münster i/W., 1916; and F. Wüstenfeld, Die Ubersetzungen arabischer Werke in das Lateinische seit dem XI. Jahrhundert, Göttingen, 1877.
The Countess's reply was to clap her hands at that time the usual method of summoning a servant. When Levina tapped at the door, instead of bidding her enter, her mistress spoke through it. "Tell Master Aristoteles that I would speak with him in this chamber." The mother and daughter were both very still until the shuffling of the physician's slippered feet was heard in the passage.
Master Aristoteles himself, after high mass, came forward with the blessed relic, a long, thick, black hair, immersed in holy water, in a golden goblet set with pearls. "Avaunt thee, Satanas!" said Father Warner, making the sign of the cross in the air above Margaret's head.
