Footnote 563:

“Tercia vero inquirit de terra, de eo quod ipsa inhabitatur et quod
non habitatur; et ostenditur quantum est illud, quod inhabitatur et
quot sunt partes eius magne, que sunt climata; et comprehendit
habitaciones, quas contingit esse in unaquaque illarum in illa hora,
et ubi sit locus cuiusque habitacionis, et ordinem eorum ex mundo;
inquirit de eo, quod sequitur necessario ut accidat unicuique climatum
habitacionum de revolucione mundi continenti totio et est revolucio
diei et noctis propter situm terre in loco, in quo sunt sicut ortus et
occasus et longitudo diei et noctis et brevitas et alia hiis similia”
(_ibid._). This passage, together with the greater part of the _De
divisione philosophiae_, is drawn from Al-Fārābī’s book _On the
Enumeration of the Sciences_. Al-Fārābī was a Moslem philosopher and
Aristotelian of the tenth century. See Baur’s edition of the _De div.
phil._, 1903, pp. 160, 314.
