Abstract
The Aristotle-Averroes edition printed by the Giunta brothers in Venice in 1550–1552 is the most complete edition of the Latin translations of the works of Aristotle and Averroes (together with many other related texts) produced up to that time. It represents the high point of interest in Averroes in northern Italy, especially at the University of Padua.
