In 1912 Prof. Ludwig Baur published among the philosophical works of Robert Grosseteste a short treatise entitled De finitate motus et temporis, which, as he pointed out, was nearly identical with the concluding section of Grosseteste's Commentary on the Physics. Baur however knew only one independent manuscript of the De finitate and based his edition upon this one manuscript and two Oxford manuscripts of the Physics commentary. In 1940 Prof. S. Harrison Thomson listed four additional manuscripts which contain De finitate as an independent work. In the course of preparing a critical edition of the Commentary on the Physics, I found it necessary to consult these manuscripts and thereby became aware of the inadequacy of Baur's treatment of De finitate.

Grosseteste's Treatise ‘De finitate motus et temporis’
5 William of Alnwick, in his Quaestiones Determinatae (MS Vat. Palat. lat 1805, fol. 10v), says: ‘… est sciendum quod illa verba domini Lyncolniensis scripsit manu sua in margine libri phisicorum, quem non studiose nec complete exposuit … sed quando aliqua ymaginacio sibi occurrebat ibi scripsit ne laberetur a memoria sua…. Non enim est maioris auctoritatis que dissute scripsit in margine libri phisicorum quam alie quas scripsit, que omnia habentur Oxonie in libraria fratrum minorum sicud oculis propriis vidi.’ See below, n. 7.

This MS was first noticed by Pelzer, A., ‘Les versions latines des ouvrages de morale conservés sous le nom d'Aristote en usage au XIII e siècle,’ Revue néoscolastique de philosophie 23 (1921) 396–398, who also printed the section referred to here.Google Scholar

11 This date for the introduction of Averroes into Latin Europe is fairly well established by R. de Vaux, ‘La première entrée d'Averroës chez les Latins,’ Revue des sciences philosophiques et théologiques 22 (1933) 193–245. who does not, however, think the Physics commentary was translated till around 1240. Mansion, But A., ‘Note sur les traductions arabo-latines de la Physique d'Aristote dans la tradition manuscrite,’ Revue néo-scolastique de philosophie 37 (1934) 202–203, attributes the translatio prima to Michael Scot. It might therefore have become known shortly after 1231.CrossRefGoogle Scholar
12 Muckle, J. T., Medievalia et Humanistica 3 (1945) 48, summarizes the evidence. The date 1235 is my conclusion.Google Scholar

48 D precessisse hoc unico verbo quod dicit, in principio, elidit errorem philosophorum qui dixerunt mundum non habuisse temporis inicium quemadmodum dixit et probare visus est Aristoteles in octavo Physicorum. Similiter Plato in Thimeo inducit quemdam qui infinitas inundaciones diluviorum asserit precessisse. Sunt tamen quidam moderni vanius istis philosophantes, immo demencius istis desipientes, qui dicunt maxime Aristotelem non sensisse mundum carere temporis inicio sed eum in hoc articulo catholice sensisse et temporis et mundi inicium posuisse quos arguit (fol. 196B) manifeste ipsa littera Aristotelis et media inducta ad eius conclusionem, et ultima libri sui conclusio quam intendit probare de motore primo per motus perpetuitatem. Expositores quoque omnes eiusdem loci Aristotelis, tam greci quam arabes, dictum locum de perpetuitate motus et temporis et mundi, eorum, i.e. duracione ex parte utraque in infinitum, concorditer exponunt. Boecius quoque in libro de consolacione philosophie evidenter asserit tam Aristotelem quam Platonem censuisse mundum inicio caruisse. Postquam enim diffinivit eternitatem, volens eam ex collacione temporalium clarius liquere, ait quod temporis patitur condicionem, licet illud secuti de mundo censuit Aristoteles nec cepit unquam esse nec desinat vita quod eius cum temporis infinitate tendatur, nondum tamen tale est ut eternum esse iure credatur. Non enim totum simul infinite vite spacium comprehendit atque complectitur, sed futura nondum transacta iam non habet. Ex hiis verbis manifestum est quod Aristoteles censuit mundum nec cepisse nec desiturum esse, sed cum temporis infinitate protensum esse…. (fol. 197A) Sciendum est autem quod illud quod decepit antiquos ut ponerent mundum sine inicio fuit precipue falsa ymaginacio qua coacti sunt ymaginari ante omne tempus, tempus aliud, sicut ymaginatur fantasia, extra omnem locum, alium, et extra omnem spacium, spacium aliud, et hec usque in infinitum. Unde et huius erroris purgacio non potest esse nisi per hoc, quod mentis affectus purgetur ab amore temporalium, ut mentis aspectus immunis a fantasmatibus possit transcendere tempus et intelligere simplicem eternitatem, ubi nulla est extensio secundum prius et posterius et a qua procedit omne tempus et prius et posterius….’Google Scholar
