The work deals specifically with the concept of scientia media in the late Middle Ages and discusses the connection between logic, mathematics and physics in the analysis of motion which is characteristic for Nicole Oresme and his followers in the 15th Century.

As the Scientific Director of the Kepler-Commission at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences I was responsible for the management of all its ordinary activities and the coordination of the work of eight scholars, who worked at the Commission or were directly connected with it. This included, apart from my own research work, the administration of the budget, the supervision of the research work, the administration of the library (including copies of all known Kepler-manuscripts, aprox.’ ten thousand pages), the negotiation of special work contracts, the contact with other scholars and institutions, the supervision of the register, and the conduct of negotiations with the editorial houses for the publication of the research work. The above mentioned project (Di Liscia / Leitgeb) was supported by the University of Munich (LMU) with 150.000 €. The above mentioned project (Di Liscia) is being supported by the DFG with 281.248 €.
