Le problème de l’éternité du monde chez Gilles de Rome dans les limites des deux rédactions de son commentaire de Sent. II (dist. 1)

Does the second writing of the commentary on Petrus Lombardus, Sent. II (dist. 1) by Giles of Rome constitute a break compared to the first writing? The accurate comparison of the problem of the temporal beginning of the world and its treatment - where Reportatio and Ordinatio take the shape of a commentary on Phys., VIII, 1 - shows that the presence of Thomas Aquinas is even stronger after 1277. Refusing Aristotle’s and “modern” theologians’ arguments, in Ordinatio in continuity with Reportatio Giles advocates a philosophical position in favor of the temporal beginning of the world - theoretically possible though not given - as opposed to Thomas’ standard position, but not to his argumentation in Thomas de Aquino, In VIII Phys, 2.
