In the third century AD, [[Alexander of Aphrodisias]]'s commentary on the ''Prior Analytics'' is the oldest extant and one of the best of the ancient tradition and is available in the English language.<ref>{{cite book |last=Striker |first=Gisela |title=Aristotle: ''Prior Analytics'', Book 1 |page=xx |year=2009 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-925041-7}}</ref>

In the sixth century, [[Boethius]] composed the first known Latin translation of the ''Prior Analytics'', however, this translation has not survived, and the ''Prior Analytics'' may have been unavailable in [[Western Europe]] until the eleventh century, when it was quoted from by [[Bernard of Utrecht]].<ref>{{cite conference |url=http://www.illinoismedieval.org/ems/VOL4/huygens.html |title=Looking for Manuscripts... and Then? |author=R.
