 Apart from translating the works of Averroes, Del Medigo also wrote original compositions aimed at elucidating Averroes’ doctrines, as well as commentaries on works such as the Physics and De substantia orbis. The aim of these works and commentaries was to clarify and elucidate the views of Averroes on various themes, and to contextualise these views as widely as possible within the context of the Averroist corpus. Mirroring a common medieval practice, Del Medigo’s originality as philosopher rested not in the introduction of a new metaphysical scheme, i.e., departing from the foundations of Aristotelian physics and metaphysics, but in interpreting and reinterpreting an existing body of works and doctrines. From a methodological perspective, Del Medigo shared with his fellow Paduan Averroists a polemical tendency, arguing that a true understanding of Averroes’ doctrines required the rejection of previous interpretations. Such false interpretations, in Del Medigo’s view, were carried forward either by anti-Averroists (most notably Thomas Aquinas) as well as by followers of Averroes, past and present, who misunderstood and misconstrued the latter’s doctrines. Among those, Del Medigo’s chief target was the fourteenth century Averroist John of Jandun, whom Del Medigo repeatedly attacks in his works and commentaries. John of Jandun was one scholar frequently cited in the works of other Paduan Averroists, most often to reject his interpretations (Hasse 2007: 324–25; Mahoney 1997: 140; Engel 2017: 20–23). Other scholastic authors mentioned by Del Medigo were Albert the Great, Giles of Rome, William of Ockham and Walter Burleigh (Montada 2013: 165–66, 169). Del Medigo’s reference to these authors, as well as his open critique of John of Jandun, portrays him as a prominent Jewish representative of the Latin scholastic tradition, and in particular of the Averroist Paduan school of the late fifteenth century (see Zonta 2006).
