All translations are mine (unless otherwise indicated). I tend to use English titles for all Greek and Latin works except when the corresponding Latin title enjoys greater currency (e.g., De anima, Parva naturalia). Below is a table, organized alphabetically, of the titles cited in the book. All abbreviations are based on the Latin titles.
