This volume presents the first critical edition of books I & II of the final redaction of John Buridan's Questions Commentary on Aristotle's Physics. The edition is accompanied by a detailed guide to the contents of Buridan's questions.

John Buridan (d. ca. 1360) was one of the most talented and influential philosophers of the later Middle Ages. He spent his career as a master in the Arts Faculty at the University of Paris, producing commentaries and independent treatises on logic, metaphysics, natural philosophy, and ethics. His Questions Commentary on the eight books of Aristotle's Physics is the most important witness to Buridan's teachings in the field of natural philosophy. The commentary was widely read during the later Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This volume presents the first critical edition of books I & II of the final redaction of Buridan's Questions Commentary on the Physics. The critical edition of the Latin text is accompanied by a detailed guide to the contents of Buridan's questions.

Paul J.J.M. Bakker (Ph.D. 1999) is Professor of Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy at Radboud University. His research focuses on the commentary tradition on Aristotle's works on natural philosophy, from the late Middle Ages to the seventeenth century. Michiel Streijger (Ph.D. 2008) is a researcher at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Munich. He is working on an edition of book II of Robert Cowton's commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard. Edith D. Sylla (Ph.D. 1971) is Professor Emerita at North Carolina State University (Raleigh, North Carolina). She works on the history of mathematics, physics, and their interrelations from the late Middle Ages to the early eighteenth century. Johannes M.M.H. Thijssen (Ph.D. 1988) is Professor of History of Philosophy at Radboud University.
