Il verbo essere nella Metafisica aristotelica dal greco all’arabo

[Machine translation] The present study is part of a larger research on the concept of 'entity', which is elaborated in the Greek text of the books of Metaphysics.1 In this contribution, I will deal with one of the most interesting and controversial differences that exist between Indo-European languages and Semitic languages: the presence in the first of a verb, such as a μf, 'to be', as a function of copulation. Of this difference, I will consider some possible implications for the Arab reception of Aristotle's Metaphysics, a work where the verb to be is central, especially in the form of the substantiated neutral participle: the 'entity' (the entity, genitive, the genitive), which, although substantiated, does not lose its verbal value in Aristotelian use, so as to indicate what it is.
