Bruni's Translation of Aristotle

Grossatest's translation displayed little philosophical understanding and less eloquence. Bruni managed to convince himself that Aristotle's treatises are beautifully written. Alfonso of Catajena censored Bruni on the rather strange grounds that his Latin translation made Aristotle say things that were not true. This is a hint that philological accuracy as the standard of good translation was only just emerging in the 15th century, thanks to Bruni and other humanists.
