Professor Wood's meticulous edition sheds light on that crucial period when the medieval West for the first time acquired a comprehensive scientific account of the cosmos.
As one of the earliest Western physics teachers, Richard Rufus of Cornwall helped transform Western natural philosophy in the 13th century. His challenges to the views of Aristotle and Averroes proved to be enormously influential: his accounts of projectile motion, the place of the heavens, and creation were later taken up by Bacon, Aquinas and Bonaventure.
