>given the authorship to Aristotle to protect the tradition
Protect the tradition in what way and from what? Why would they do this? Because the neoplatonists held beliefs that would conflict with Islam/Christianity and Aristotle had always been more careful and thus could be adopted more easily? Sauce on this, please

"Plato put over the entrance to his Academy the words: Ageometretos medeis eisito! "Let no one who has not grasped the mathematical enter here!” These words do not mean that one must be educated in only one subject―"geometry"―but that one must grasp that the fundamental condition for the proper possibility of knowing is knowledge of the fundamental presuppositions of all knowledge and the positions we take based on such knowledge. A knowledge which does not build its foundation knowledgeably, and thereby notes its limits, is not knowledge but mere opinion. The mathematical, in the original sense of learning what one already knows, is the fundamental presupposition of "academic" work."

- Martin Heidegger, Modern Science, Metaphysics, and Mathematics
