It is well known that this tradition emerged at the Merton College in Oxford about 70 years before and proposed a new approach to natural philosophy or “physics” consisting in the generalized use of mathematical and “half-mathematical” methods of analyzing and discussing questions concerned with motions and qualities. The manuscript Lat. 522 of the Arsenal Library was entirely copied by a man called “Johannes Monachus”, who can possibly be associated with the famous philosopher and theologian Pierre D’Ailly. Besides other significant works, Johannes Monachus copied the tracts De configurationibus (by Nicole Oresme) and De latitudinibus formarum (by Jacobus de Sancto Martino). At the end of this last work he decided to complete the “latitude of forms” with “some further things” (cum quibusdam aliis), a short text which most probably he himself compiled using the Regulae by Heytesbury and other similar sources and to which the title Excerpta de uniformitate et difformitate may be given. The following paper gives a transcription of this short text, expounds its content and discusses its significance in the context of the tradition of the late calculators. In adittion, a full description of the manuscript is given. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es presentar nuevos materiales relacionados con el desarrollo de la llamada tradición de los calculatores de fines del siglo XIV en París. Es sabido que esta tradición surgió en el Merton College en Oxford alrededor de 70 años atrás y propuso un nuevo enfoque para la filosofía natural o “física” que consiste en el uso generalizado de métodos matemáticos o “medio-matemáticos” para analizar y discutir cuestiones que involucrasen movimiento y cualidades. El manuscrito Lat. 522 de la biblioteca de Arsenal fue copiado íntegramente por u hombre llamado “Johannes Monachus”, que puede posiblemente ser asociado con el famoso filósofo y teólogo Pierre D’Ailly. Aparte de otros trabajos significativos, Johannes Monachus copió los tratados De configurationes (de Nicole Oresme) y De latitudinibus formarum (de Jacobus de Sancto Martino). Hacia el final de este último trabajo decidió completar la “latitud de formas” con “algunas otras cosas” (cum quibusdam aliis), un texto corto que muy probablemente él mismo compiló usando las Regulae de Heytesbury y otras fuentes similares y por lo que el título Excerpta de uniformitate et difformitate puede haber sido dado. El siguiente trabajo presenta una transcripción de este texto corto, expone su contenido y discute su significado en el contexto de la tradición de los calculadores. En adición, se brinda una descripción completa del manuscrito. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7826 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7826/6889 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 28 (2007); 25-53 2683-9636 Calculadores Filosofía natural Matemáticas Manuscrito Método Calculators Natural philosophy Mathematics Manuscript Method Excerpta de uniformitate et difformitate: A Physical-Matemathical Compilation in Ms. Paris, Bl.
