Mirabilia, scetticismo e filosofia della natura nei Quodlibeta di Nicole Oresme / Stefano Caroti.
Abstract:
The deep sceptical attitude in Nicole Oresme's Quodlibeta, partly nourished by the use of subtlest mathematical and geometrical devices for the physical research, is mitigated by the constant attempt to reduce all the so call mirabilia naturae into the natural course of physical events. With this object in view Oresme tries to fix natural principles more general than the traditional elemental qualities
