De Proprietatibus Elementorum
''De Proprietatibus Elementorum'' (English: On the Properties of the Elements) is a Medieval Arabic treatise on geology. It is also known as ''De Causis Proprietatum Elementorum'', ''De Proprietatibus Elementorum et Planetarum'' or simply ''De Elementis''. It was probably written in the ninth or tenth century. The author of the work claimed to be Aristotle, but eventually it was determined that it was an original work by an Arab author. Consequently, the work is now attributed to a Pseudo-Aristotle. History The work did not have a lasting impact on science in the medieval Islamic world, but it became important in Europe after it was translated to Latin by Gerard of Cremona in the twelfth century. By the thirteenth century, it had become one of the three main sources for medieval knowledge on geology, together with Aristotle's ''Meteorology'' and Avicenna's ''De Mineralibus''. These three treatises were an important influence on the study of geology by Albertus Magnus. When scholar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bodleian Library
The Bodleian Library () is the main research library of the University of Oxford, and is one of the oldest libraries in Europe. It derives its name from its founder, Sir Thomas Bodley.
