David DiPasquale completed two book manuscripts during Summer 2014 which are presently under review at Cambridge University Press: Alfarabi and the Starting Point of Islamic Philosophy: A Study of the Kitab al-Jadal (Book of Dialectic), a super-commentary on Alfarabi's study of Aristotle's Topics, including first English translation of the entire Arabic text; and An Introduction to Alfarabi's Philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, the first line-by-line commentary on Alfarabi's foundational philosophical text, with revisions to standard Mahdi (Cornell) translation based on new manuscript sources.
