• Resumen

  • This note presents an edition and brief discussion of the anonymous text Divisio philosophie preserved in London, British Library, MS Additional 62130 (saec. XIII–XV), which is a large miscellaneous codex, compiled at the Cistercian Abbey of the Blessed Virgin at Fountains. Despite its title, the text does not present a full division of the sciences; rather, it engages particularly with the “physical” or “natural” ones, i.e. phisica, mathematica and theologia, or in other words, with the branch philosophy called philosophia speculativa. In addition, the author also divides the physical sciences into superior and inferior, explaining the meaning of this categorization three times. Judging from the contents of the text, the date of its composition can most likely be placed in the first half of the twelfth century
