And if it weren't for this apple that I hold in my hand, whose fragrance strengthens me and prolongs my life for a little while, I would have already breathed my last. With these words, Aristotle begins his final lesson on his deathbed, a last exhortation on philosophy, according to the medieval book On the Apple, which describes the death of Aristotle.

This book by Professor P. Kotsia from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki is an in-depth study of medieval texts, Latin, Arabic, and Greek, of Aristotelian philosophy and tradition.
