David Bolotin's translation of Aristotle's Parva Naturalia is faithful to the Greek and aims to convey the meaning of Aristotle's words. It is a sequel to his translation of De Anima and includes the treatise On the Motion of Animals, which is well-attested in the oldest manuscripts. Bolotin has relied on readings that are well-attested in the oldest manuscripts, rather than conjectural emendations of modern editors. The translation subordinates felicity of English expression to the demand for fidelity to the Greek, making it suitable for those who wish to study the Parva Naturalia with care.

David Bolotin's translation of Aristotle's Parva Naturalia is a remarkable effort to preserve the original Greek text's fidelity. Bolotin treats Aristotle as a teacher, striving to convey the meaning of his words in English to the best of his ability. The title "Parva Naturalia" dates back to the Latin Middle Ages and includes the treatise "On the Motion of Animals," despite not being traditionally grouped with the other treatises. Bolotin has meticulously examined the manuscript tradition, relying on readings from the oldest manuscripts rather than accepting conjectural emendations of modern editors. While his translation aims for clarity in English, it prioritizes fidelity to the Greek over the pursuit of perfect English expression. This translation is particularly valuable for those who wish to study the Parva Naturalia with care, providing access to Aristotle's precise meaning that has previously been unavailable in English.
