First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The work in question is John Philoponus's commentary on Aristotle's Posterior Analytics, published in Greek by Aldus in 1504. While there are modern English translations of specific portions of this commentary (e.g., by Richard McKirahan, Owen Goldin, and others, often published in the 'Ancient Commentators on Aristotle' series), there is no evidence of a complete, full-text English translation of the entire commentary. Therefore, this is a 'first complete translation' case.
