The work 'Aristotelis et Theophrasti Historiae' (1552) is a Latin compilation of Aristotle's and Theophrastus's biological works. While these underlying Greek works have been translated into English many times (e.g., 'History of Animals', 'Enquiry into Plants'), there is no evidence of an English translation of this specific 1552 Latin edition or its specific editorial content by Scaliger. Therefore, while the content is available in English from the original Greek, this specific Latin text has not been translated.
