Mechanics (Aristotle)
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Italic title". Mechanics (Template:Langx; Template:Langx), also called Mechanical Problems or Questions of Mechanics, is a text traditionally attributed to Aristotle, but generally regarded as spurious (cf. Pseudo-Aristotle).[1] Thomas Winter has suggested that the author was Archytas,[2] while Michael Coxhead says that it is only possible to conclude that the author was one of the Peripatetics.[3]
During the Renaissance, an edition of this work was published by Francesco Maurolico. A Latin translation was made by Vettor Fausto, dedicated to Giovanni Badoer in 1517.
