Memoirs of Fellows and Corresponding Fellows of the Medieval Academy of America
With the passing in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on September 16, 2010, of John Emery Murdoch, a Fellow of the Medieval Academy since 1992, medieval studies lost a particularly penetrating and lucid student of Scholastic mathematics and philosophy
The Oxford Calculators’ Middle Degree Theorem in Context
The core Oxford Calculators (here William Heytesbury, John Dumbleton, and Richard Swineshead) developed a science of kinematics in which the key concept was the “latitude of velocity.” Based upon the concept of “latitude,” the Calculators developed parts of a mathematical physics in deductive format that could be applied to quite various situations
Evidence and Interpretation in Studies on Early Science and Medicine
For Renaissance Aristotelian natural philosophers, ideally knowledge was certain and based on syllogistic demonstration. Many Italian scholars, such as Agostino Nifo, Pietro Pomponazzi, and Niccolò Cabeo, considered this ideal as inapplicable to the field of meteorology. Rather, because of the accidental nature of meteorological phenomena and the inherent irregularity of the weather, they believed that causal explanations of meteorology were larg…
Evidence and interpretation in studies on early science and medicine
John Buridan and Critical Realism
In this paper I examine what John Buridan has to say in his Quaestiones in Analytica Posteriora relevant to the subalternate mathematical sciences, particularly astronomy. Much previous work on the scholastic background to the Scientific Revolution relies on texts that were written in the late sixteenth or seventeenth centuries. Here I am interested in texts that might reflect the context of Copernicus, and, in particular those before 1500. John …

Walter Burley's Physics Commentaries and the Mathematics of Alteration
In a long question, "Whether there is motion to quality," (Utrum ad qualitatem sit motus) which became part of his Oxford Expositio omnium librorum Physicorum cum questionibus optime disputatis, composed before 1310, Walter Burley supported the succession-of-forms theory of qualitative change. After commenting on Peter Lombard's Sentences at Paris, Burley took part in disputations on controversial questions in the early 1320s, resulting in his De…

The Oxford Calculators in Context
The ArgumentOur understanding of the predisposing factors, the nature, and the fate of the Oxford Calculatory tradition can be significantly increased by seeing it in its social and institutional context. For instance, the use of intricate imaginary cases in Calculatory works becomes more understandable if we see the connection of these works to undergraduate logical disputations. Likewise, the demise of the Calculatory tradition is better unders…

Prelude to Galileo
Can it be true that Galilean studies will be without end, without conclusion, that each interpreter will find his own Galileo? William A. Wallace seems to have a historical grasp which will have to be matched by any further workers: he sees directly into Galileo's primary epoch of intellectual formation, the sixteenth century. In this volume, Wallace provides the companion to his splendid annotated translation of CaWeo's Early Notebooks: The Phys…
