De Tempore
This volume presents the Latin text of two Oxford treatises from the 1250s by the English Dominican Robert Kilwardby: the one on time discusses its reality, unity, beginning and connection with change; the one on imagination examines the way imagery is acquired, retained, and transmitted, and relations between head and heart.

The Two Recensions of On Free Decision
Robert Grosseteste (c. 1168-1253), Bishop of Lincoln from 1235 to 1253, was one of the most prominent and remarkable figures in thirteenth-century English intellectual life.

This book will be of interest not only to specialists in medieval philosophy and theology, but also to the general reader interested in free will.
