Document Details : Title: À la recherche des Questions «perdues» de Matthieu de Gubbio sur la Physique d'Aristote Subtitle: Nouvelles sources pour l'étude de Jean de Jandun et de l'averroïsme bolonais Author(s): PANZICA, Aurora Journal: Recherches de Théologie et Philosophie Médiévales Volume: 92 Issue: 1 Date: 2025 Pages: 95-134 DOI: 10.2143/RTPM.92.1.3294375 Abstract : The manuscript Osimo, Biblioteca storica dell’Istituto Campana, 18.L.38, fols. 75ra-90vb, contains a copy of John of Jandun’s Questions on Aristotle’s Physics. The copy ends unfinished on fol. 90vb. The questions that follow on fols. 91ra-94vb, concerning book II of the Physics, are anonymous. The sources (John of Jandun, below, § 1a) and interlocutors (Simon of Padua, § 1b) of the anonymous questions allow us to situate their origin in Bologna and date them to the first decades of the 14th century. A self-reference to a commentary on Aristotle’s Meteorology (§ 1c) enabled me to identify the author of the anonymous Questions on the Physics as Matthew Mei of Gubbio, a Bolognese Averroist influenced by John of Jandun, who held a disputation with Simon of Padua. Matthew of Gubbio’s Meteorology commentary transmits a question whose text corresponds both doctrinally and textually to the passage in the commentary on the Physics containing the aforementioned reference (§ 2). The attribution of this text to Matthew of Gubbio is further supported by the fact that the existence of his Questions on the Physics is attested in the manuscript Ottob. lat. 318, although until now they had been considered lost (§ 3). |
