A Little Deaf History: a continuing series

I reference to yesterday's question, I did find a source of an article written by Aristotle and translated by J.I. Beare. While the quote most commonly found in Deaf timelines was not in this piece, there was a statement that "Accordingly, of persons destitute from birth of either sense, the blind are more intelligent than the deaf and dumb."

While not very complimentary - it is not quite saying deafness = incompetence.

Hmmmm.

I will keep looking. Let me know if you find something.
