Mechanics (Aristotle)
Mechanics (or Mechanical Problems; Greek: Μηχανικά; Latin: Mechanica) is a text traditionally attributed to Aristotle, though his authorship of it is disputed. Thomas Winter has suggested that the author was Archytas.[1] However, Coxhead says that it is only possible to conclude that the author was one of the Peripatetics.[2]
