Grosseteste’s philosophical influence on the Continent appears to have been largely as a scholar of Aristotle. His commentary on the Posterior Analytics achieved renown across the Continent and was used throughout the middle ages (for its influence in Britain see Rossi 2012), and the same was true of his translation of the Ethics.  Indeed, these two pieces of Aristotelian scholarship alone would have sufficed to acquire for Grossetete an important place in the history of medieval thought. One exception, however, is the fourteenth-century French thinker, Nicole Oresme, who makes use of a number of Grosseteste’s philosophical and scientific writings in his works, most notably in his Questiones super Physicam.
