Abstract

Previously, the author tried to show that some arguments in one of the two versions of Nicholas of Autrecourtâs Quaestio de intensione visionis are taken almost verbatim from the anonymous Tractatus de sex inconvenientibus. This paper concentrates on the arguments themselves in order to consider two main issues: (a) the âtranslatabilityâ of limit decision problems, manifest in Autrecourtâs juxtaposition of questions de maximo et minimo, de primo et ultimo instanti, and the intension and remission of forms; (b) the importance of Parisian discussions of limit decision problems prior to the adoption of the new analytical languages developed at Oxford. Thus, the paper is divided in two sections, the first concerning some arguments of Autrecourtâs question, the second focusing on the link between one of Autrecourtâs arguments and the medieval tradition of commentaries on Aristotleâs De caelo, in which it is possible to find some antecedents of the analytical approach that later Parisian scholars (Autrecourt among them) would apply to these problems.
