In questo volume ? presentata l?edizione critica, con introduzione dottrinale, delle ?Quaestiones de tempore? di Guglielmo di Alnwick, discepolo di Duns Scoto. Interessante ? il fatto che Alnwick, fra il 1313 e il 1320, stese tre successive versioni delle ?questioni?, che mostrano l?evoluzione del pensiero di Alnwick, e testimoniano il dibattito sul tempo che occup? i primi scotisti. Il volume rappresenta un importante contributo per lo studio del pensiero medievale. This volume presents a critical edition, with a doctrinal introduction, of the ?Quaestiones de tempore? delivered by William of Alnwick, disciple of Duns Scotus. It is interesting to note that between 1314 and 1320, Alnwick wrote three successive versions of the ?questions?, which reveal the evolution of his theory, and bear witness to the debate on this topic which occupied the early Scotists. The volume represents an important contribution to studies of medieval thought. Inglese 478 gr. lxiv-194 p.
