Excerpt from An Aristotelian Theory of Comedy: With an Adaptation of the Poetics, and a Translation of the 'Tractatus Coislinianus' I have entitled the volume An Aristotelian Theory of Comedy for reasons suggested in the Introduction, and have indeed included everything I could find in Aristotle, in his teacher Plato, or in his successors, that might aid us in reconstructing his views on comedy. At times I have been content to gather materials for some one in the future who may be more successful in abstraction and synthesis than I, or to let them reveal their meaning without compulsion. As for the Trac tatus C oislinianus, having throughout maintained an attitude of caution regarding its provenience, I am yet warranted by the mere frequency of'it's discussion by scholars in treating it as a part of the Aristotelian tradition.
