Parts of Animals by Aristotle Translated by William Ogle Read in English by Geoffrey Edwards On the Parts of Animals (Greek: ΠΕΡΙ ΖΩΙΩΝ ΜΟΡΙΩΝ; Latin: De Partibus Animalium) by Aristotle (ΑΡΙΣΤΟΤΕΛΗΣ). The first book asks whether animals were created or came into existence by chance and argues that God was restricted to using imperfect materials. The remaining three books focus on particular examples of various animals and the functions of their organs. The translator William Ogle, who was both a medical doctor and classicist, presented Charles Darwin with a copy of this translation.
