Document Details : Title: The Works of Richard Rufus of Cornwall Subtitle: The State of the Question in 2009 Author(s): WOOD, Rega Journal: Recherches de Théologie et Philosophie Médiévales Volume: 76 Issue: 1 Date: 2009 Pages: 1-73 DOI: 10.2143/RTPM.76.1.2037160 Abstract : The preponderance of the evidence indicates that Richard Rufus wrote the commentary on Aristotle’s Physics I published in 2003 as well as two commentaries on the Metaphysics.

Of course, some of his other opinions changed. In the course of claiming that these changes do not militate against the attribution, this article addresses the general question: What are the appropriate standards for an attribution? |
