Abstract
This special issue of Manuscript brings together articles around the notion of scientific demonstration as expounded by Aristotle in his Later Analytics (henceforth APo). Some articles (Morison and Goldin) have a broader scope in the sense that, being devoted to some topic, are not built around one or another specific passage of the text, while others (Bronstein, Zuppolini, Angioni, Karbowski, Castelli, Fait, Peramatzis, and Crager) specifically focus on one passage, or one chapter, or set of chapters that are usually taken together. Finally, some articles (Corcilius, Zillig, Hankinson, Falcon, and Hasper) deal with topics that, although rooted in (or at least connected to) Aristotle's theory of scientific demonstration, extend to other domains and other treatises, beyond the APo.

Nous is the scientist’s non-demonstrative understanding of immediate premises, which are the foundations from which her demonstrative understanding derives
The definition of an attribute—as opposed to the definition of a basic subject—is complex, which means that it can be displayed by a demonstrative syllogism which differs from it only ‘in arrangement’
Summary
This special issue of Manuscrito brings together articles around the notion of scientific demonstration as expounded by Aristotle in his Posterior Analytics ( APo). Some articles (Corcilius, Zillig, Hankinson, Falcon, and Hasper) deal with topics that, rooted in (or at least connected to) Aristotle’s theory of scientific demonstration, extend to other domains and other treatises, beyond the APo. Benjamin Morison discusses the notion of theoretical nous.
