description: An account of what Arabic scholars have written, either as commentators or as more independent authors, on the subjects treated in Aristotle's Meteorology , this work investigates how they were influenced by one another and by previous Greek commentators.For each subject a survey is given of the content of the Greek commentaries (by Alexander, Philoponus and Olympiodorus) as well as of a later treatise, ascribed to Olympiodorus and extant only in Arabic. Then, the Arabic version of Ibn al-Bitrīq is investigated; it was one of the sources used by the Arabic writers which are discussed after al-Kindī, Ibn Sīnā and later scholars who were inspired by him, Ibn Bājja and Ibn Rusd.Two Arabic treatises on subjects from the Meteorology are edited and translated.
