  • Philosophical and textual analysis of John Aurifaber's commentary on Aristotle's Physics
  • Comparison of themes and solutions in the Quaestio de eventu necessario and the Questions on the Physics
  • Critical edition of the two questions to support claims
  • Identified distinct authorship between the earlier and later John Aurifaber based on philosophical solutions
  • Demonstrated innovative approaches to divine foreknowledge and future contingents in the later Aurifaber's work
