Aristotle's Metaphysics is a primary ancient philosophical text; the atlas records no publisher and no exact publication year because it survives through manuscript transmission from antiquity rather than a single dated modern edition. Its strength is that it is the primary source itself for the argument of Book Twelve, Lambda, on the unmoved mover, cited for that argument specifically. Its limit is the ordinary one for citing an ancient philosophical text without specifying a translation: this record does not establish which edition underlies the argument as quoted.
