There exist several Armenian commentaries on <i>On the Nature of Man</i> by the Greek philosopher Nemesius of Emesa. The extant commentaries are the following: 1. <i>Commentary on the Book of Nature</i>, 2. <i>Analysis of the Book of Nature</i>, 3. Ms M621, bearing the general title <i>Book of Causes and Analyses</i>, contains two different commentaries: <i>Analysis of the Commentary on the Book of Nature</i> and <i>Commentary on the Book of Nature</i>. The last two writings are different from the first and the second. The manuscripts which contain Nemesius’ work often have short marginal explanations and notes. Scholars (Garegin Zarbhanalean, Ghewond Alishan, At‘anēs Tiroyean) have attributed some of them to Grigor Skevṛats‘i. Nothing is known about the authors of the other commentaries but the historian of medicine Levon Hovhannisyan is sure they are original Armenian works, since there is no mention of commentaries on the Book of Nature in the Greek sources. The author of this article has made an attempt to collect and analyze all the existent data and suppositions, as well as to offer new hypotheses.
