On Marvellous Things Heard

On Marvellous Things Heard (Ancient Greek: Περὶ θαυμασίων ἀκουσμάτων; Latin: De mirabilibus auscultationibus), often called Mirabilia,[1] is a collection of thematically arranged anecdotes formerly attributed to Aristotle.

The material included in the collection mainly deals with the natural world (e.g., plants, animals, minerals, weather, geography).

[3] According to the revised Oxford translation of The Complete Works of Aristotle this treatise's "spuriousness has never been seriously contested".

[5] The first edition of the Greek text was an incunabulum printed by Aldo Manuzio in 1497.

[6] Four Latin translations appeared in the 16th century based on printed editions (two anonymous, two by Domenico Montesoro and Natale Conti).
