If I didn't recognize his face, I'd have no idea this was Aristotle.  I'm sure the writing surrounding the stamp is very profound...

Behind Aristotle, you can see his disciple Alexandre, too. Their names are written on the stamp. I think what it is written around is the name of the sciences (Politics, Biology...), but I cannot be sure.

My no-English words stamps are here.

I didn't see the face in the background until it was mentioned. I translate my stamps with Google Lens! Or try to, in the case of one today.

I like your description! :-). The stamp is great, I, too, did not see the second face until it was pointed out. (the "profound" writing translates to Organic Physical Biological Psychology, Medical and Political Techniques, and Organ Physical Biological Psychology)
