An interesting commentary on the „Meteora“ of Aristotle by Pierre d’Ailly, the great
French mediaeval philosopher and theologian, who was the teacher of Gerson, and whose cos-

theory of falling-stars, comets, rain, dew, snow, hail, wind, and earthquakes and deals also with
the nature of the minerals and metals in the bowels of the earth.
