‘Abd al-Latif devotes a full sixteen out of twenty-four chapters to a discussion of Aristotle’s Metaphysics, which he probably knew in more than one translation. The books of the Metaphysics he freely paraphrases are, in order, Alpha Elatton/Alpha Meizon, Beta, Delta, Gamma,  Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, and Lambda (Neuwirth 1976, 1977–78; Martini Bonadeo 2001, 2010, 2013, 2018; Ajoun 2017). Three whole chapters (13–15) are devoted to the latter one. ‘Abd al-Latif is strongly influenced by Themistius’ paraphrase (Brague 1999) in his reading of Lambda. The presentation of Lambda ends with an entire chapter (16) containing an epitome of Alexander Arabus’s treatise On the principles of the Universe (Badawi 1947; Genequand 2001; Endress 2002; Ajoun 2017). ‘Abd al-Latif’s use of the Metaphysics reflects that of its first Arabic interpreters, in particular al-Kindi, who centered on the contents of books Alpha Elatton, Epsilon, and Lambda and was tied to the criterion of the doctrinal unity of Greek metaphysics: the natural theology of Lambda is only a premise for a characterization of the First Principle, which is of clear Neoplatonic origin (D’Ancona 1996).
