ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to discuss some examples of the problems Renaissance scholars encountered in this regard. It deals with a few sixteenth-century scholars and the close attention which they paid to the first Greek printed edition of the Quaestiones of Alexander of Aphrodisias. Alexander of Aphrodisias's works, including the Quaestiones, were largely unknown to Western scholars in the Middle Ages, as was most of the corpus of ancient Greek commentators on Aristotle. Alexander of Aphrodisias's Quaestiones, written around AD 200, can be regarded as a model of a conversation with Aristotle. The anonymous notes in the margin of the Braidense copy of Alexander's Quaestiones are not unique. Since for Alexander Aristotelianism and the truth were one and the same thing, it can be said that he was presenting a unified version of the truth, in spite of Aristotle's inconsistencies.
