Le note marginali in alcune cinquecentesche del commento alla Physica di Agostino Nifo

Abstract

In Augustinus Niphus’ commentary on Aristotle’s Physics (Venice, 1552) some marginal annotations can be considered an aide-mémoire for teachers commenting Aristotle’s text. In these annotations titles of questions concerning problems raised by Aristotle’s discussion on motion (Physics III-VIII) are recorded together with some medieval and renaissance comments. The analysis of these annotations is limited to the pages of the discussion on vacuum (Physics IV).
