"This paper deals with Nicole Oresme's Questions on Meteorology, one of the few unedited works of this philosopher. The first part concerns the manuscript tradition of this commentary, and particularly the discovery of an earlier redaction, which differs considerably from the currently known one. Subsequently, an attempt will be made to clarify the chronological position of these two...

This article offers a survey of the commentary tradition on Aristotle’s Meteorology at the Jagellonian University from its foundation to the first half of the fifteenth century. In the first part, I will focus on manuscripts containing copies of commentaries by Parisian masters which circulated at the Universities of Prague and Krakow, namely Oresme’s, Albert of Saxony’s, John...

This paper explores the medieval debates raised by problems with the Aristotelian theory of the pro-duction and transmission of solar heat presented in De Caelo II, 7 and Meteorologica I, 3. In these passages, Aristotle states that celestial heat is generated by the friction set up in the air by the motion of celestial bodies. This statement is difficult to reconcile with the Aristotelian...

The aim of this paper is to show that the anonymous Questiones in Meteorologica in the manuscript München, Staatsbibliothek, Clm 4375, ff. 19ra-46r, should be attributed to Nicole Oresme. These Questiones, together with those of the manuscript Darmstadt, Hessische Landes- und Hochschulbibliothek, Hs. 2197, ff. 58r-98r, prove the existence of an older and more interesting version of Nicole...

Aristotelian cosmology implies the plurality of celestial motion for the process of generation and corruption in the sublunar world. In order to investigate the structure of the cosmos and the degree of dependence of the sublunar on the supralunar region, Medieval Latin commentators on Aristotle explored the consequences of cessation of celestial motion. In this paper we analyse the position of...
