Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project I studied on the Greek texts of the supposedely Aristotelian "Magna Moralia". I examined the Greek texts of Teubner edition made by Franz Susemihl, which is commonly thought to be the most authentic text of "Magna Moralia". Through this examination, I indicated several defects of his text, from many misprints, misinformations of Greek readings to misjudgments of the selected readings.
I made a new revision of Greek text of "Magna Moralia", and translated it into Japanese with commentaries, and published the Japanese translation from Iwanami Syoten Publisher, as one volume of the Japanese Translation of Aristotelian whole works.
