"The De Caelo can be quite difficult for a first-time reader. C.D.C. Reeve's fluid and accurate translation, along with his superb Introduction and 560 endnotes (in effect functioning as a commentary), are bound to make this work much more accessible, while at the same time being a highly useful tool for seasoned Aristotle scholars."
Robert Mayhew, professor of philosophy at Seton Hall University
"Reeve's lucid and accurate translation of this difficult work will be of great value both to historians of philosophy and to philosophers interested in the topics Aristotle addresses for their own sake. The generous Introduction and notes provide the reader without Greek with full access to Aristotles thinking."
William Charlton, author of many works on Aristotle's philosophy of nature and contributor of five volumes to the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series
"From among the eight Aristotelian treatises translated by C. D. C. Reeve thus far,De Caelobelongs, together withGeneration of Animals(2019), to the less often rendered. This is the first complete English version since Guthrie (1939), and its virtues are the same as those of previous volumes, including the clarity of translation (here based on Paul Morauxs 1965 Bude edition) and a thorough Introduction. In this case, the introductory study is especially welcome, since explaining the place ofDe Caeloin the corpus is no easy task. . . . All things considered,De Caeloadds another building block to Reeve's admirable Aristotelian edifice."
