De Coloribus

Spurious Authorship traditionally doubted — transmitted in the Aristotelian corpus but widely judged not to be by Aristotle.

Περὶ χρωμάτων

A short spurious work on colours and their causes.

This edition presents the original Greek (Bekker (Berlin, 1831)) side by side with an English translation (T. Loveday and E. S. Forster) — with click-to-parse morphology, dictionary entries, and exact Bekker citation. 6 chapters.
