From Amerini & Galluzzo 2013 p.p142-3:
- With the questions by Richard of Clive (d. after 1306) we come to the 1270s. Richard was magister artium by 1276, magister theologiae by 1288, and member of Merton College at Oxford in 1276 and again in 1285.[1] His two question commentaries on the Physics and on the Metaphysics probably date from the early 1270s and possibly are the result of notes taken by a student during his courses.[2] The questions on the Metaphysics are preserved in two slightly different versions of different extension.[3] As we shall see, Richard's questions include doctrinal elements that are typical of the English philosophical tradition, but they also possibly show some influence of the contemporary Parisian philosophical tradition: for instance, Richard's view on the issue of the relationship between faith and philosophy is close to those of Parisian radical Aristotelians such as Boethius of Dacia.
Richard's Questions on the Metaphysics are found in somewhat different versions in mss Peterhouse 152: 322-351 (anonymous) and Worcester 13, 116-155v.
