Mechanics ( Greek: Μηχανικά; Latin: Mechanica), also called Mechanical Problems or Questions of Mechanics, is a text traditionally attributed to Aristotle, but generally regarded as spurious. [1] Thomas Winter has suggested that the author was Archytas, [2] while Michael Coxhead says that it is only possible to conclude that the author was one of the Peripatetics. [3]
During the Renaissance, an edition of this work was published by Francesco Maurolico. A Latin translation was made by Vettor Fausto, dedicated to Giovanni Badoer in 1517.
