Of the several Arabic translations of the 9th and 10th centuries, three are extant in manuscript. Our contribution has two primary purposes. First, to present the Arabic tradition of the Sophistici Elenchi in full for the first time – testimonies of the reading of the text in the period of Graeco-Arabic reception, the manuscript tradition, the translators and the sources they relied upon, and samples illustrating the translation techniques and the development of the language and terminology of Arabic logic. Secondly, we want to work out how the Arabic translations relate to their Greek and Syriac originals, what information the versions can provide for the readings of the Greek text and how the underlying tradition relates to that of the Greek manuscript tradition.
