Questions on Aristotle's Physics, Part 2

Herausgeber: Donati, Sylvia; Trifogli, Cecilia / Übersetzer: Trifogli, Cecilia; Ashworth, E Jennifer

Beschreibung

Aspall's commentary on Physics poses questions that discuss crucial issues of Aristotle's natural philosophy: matter, form, nature, change, time, the infinite and the continuum, eternity of the world. This major source for studying the introduction of Aristotelianism to Oxford in the mid-13th century is edited in Latin with English translation.
