Weill-Parot, Nicolas, "L'aimant et la rouille : Paul de Venise et l'attraction magnétique dans le commentaire de la Physique", dins: Chandelier, Joël - Robert, Aurélien (dirs.), Savoir profanes dans les ordres mendiants en Italie (XIIIe - XVe siècle), Roma, École Française de Rome (Collection de l'École Française de Rome, 597), 2023, pp. 315-335.

Resum

This paper addresses the argument concerning the magnetic attraction in Paul of Venice's commentary on Physics. Like most of medieval commentators, he is indebted to Averroes's Long Commentary on Physics and to Giles of Rome's Expositio on Physics. Do both authorities probably play a more important part in Paul of Venice's work, due to the fact that he spent his academic life in Italy (notably in Padova) and was a member of the order of hermits of S. Augustine? Anyway, his writing is not a mere repetition of previous commentaries, he seems to innovate when he introduces the experience of the rusted iron which is no longer attracted by the magnet. He also puts forward an original viewpoint in the debate between Walter Burley and William of Ockham on magnetic attraction.
