 The first text we have that actually tries to solve the paradox is an anonymous treatise from the very end of the twelfth or the very early thirteenth century (De Rijk 1966). From then on, there are a great number of surviving treatments (see Spade 1975). In the early 1320s, Thomas Bradwardine, in a preliminary section of his own treatise on insolubles, lists eight views in circulation in his day, in addition to his own (see Bradwardine [B-I], ch. 2; Spade 1987: 43–46). Some of these views can no longer be identified in the texts that survive from the period before Bradwardine, but among the surviving views, we can distinguish five broad approaches to “solving” the  paradox.[10]  (Sometimes these approaches are combined in a single author.)
