This image depicts a 1586 edition of works by Aristotle, titled 'Aristotelis Stagiritae, Rhetoricorum, Artisque Poeticae libri'. The volume specifically includes sections on Rhetoric and Poetics along with the 'Problemata' attributed to Alexander of Aphrodisias.
The book was printed in Venice, Italy ('Venetiis' as indicated on the title page) in 1586 (MDLXXXVI). The printer's device visible at the bottom contains the motto 'Constantia et Labore', which is the famous mark of the Plantin press, though many Venetian publishers used similar academic motifs or operated as subsidiaries and distributors of major European works during this era.
In terms of modern ownership, such antique books are typically either in public domain or held in private collections and library archives. However, the intellectual legacy belongs to the works of Ancient Greece.
