Philoponus’ scholia in Aristotle’s Physics IV, 1-5 (Topoi D-II-2)

The topic of this dissertation was Ioannes Philoponus’ accounts of place, void and motion presented in his commentary on Aristotle’s Physics, IV, 1–9 in three rather controversial parts of the commentary, namely the digressions on place and void (Philop., in Phys., 557.8- 585.4, 675.12- 695.8, CAG XVII) and the corollary on the motion of projectiles, in which Philoponus articulates the impetus theory (Philop., in Phys., 639.3- 642.26).
