The Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin Reception of Avicenna's Physics and Cosmology

Avicenna (Ibn S? n?) greatly influenced later medieval thinking about the earth and the cosmos, not only in his own civilization, but also in Hebrew and Latin cultures. The studies presented in this volume discuss the historical and philological circumstances of the Avicennian tradition and the reception of prominent Avicennian theories: on motion, time, vacuum, causality, elements, substantial change, minerals, floods and mountains.
