Richard Kilvington on the Capacity of Created Beings, Infinity, and Being Simultaneously in Rome and Paris

Reviews / Votes

"Volume 130 of the series Studien und Texte zur Geistesgeschichte des Mittelalters contains a new critical edition of a text by Richard Kilvington, a fragment of his question commentary on the Sentences. Its author, Monika Michalowska, who edited Kilvington's questions to Ethics for the same series in 2016, has again demonstrated her expertise in the painstaking work of an editor as well as mastery in tracing the paths of the English thinker's arcane reasoning. The task she undertook was genuinely demanding, for the commentary is a huge and complex work, as many Sentences commentaries, and its manuscript tradition is rich and complicated.[...] Michalowska's editorial work produced a text which is lucid even in the most difficult passages thanks to the internal divisions and sensible punctuation she has introduced. [...], it is an interesting and important work that really deserved a modern critical edition. At last, we have it!"
