Rate My Professor Pieter Buellens

As Principal Investigator of the ERC Starting Grant project “Fluidity in the Medieval Aristotle: Readers and Readings of the Greek-Latin Translations” (FitMA, 2025-2029), Beullens investigates textual fluidity and reader modifications in medieval manuscripts of Aristotle's translations. The project aims to produce critical editions of De anima by James of Venice, De generatione et corruptione by William of Moerbeke, and Simplicius’s commentary on De caelo. His recent publications include “Robert Grosseteste and the Fluid History of the Latin Nicomachean Ethics” in Revista Española de Filosofía Medieval (2023), “Robert Grosseteste’s Translation of Simplicius’s Commentary on Aristotle’s De caelo” in Mediterranea (2023), “The Elementary Particles: A Computational Stylometric Inquiry into the Medieval Greek-Latin Aristotle” in Mediterranea (2024, with Wouter Haverals and Ben Nagy), and “The Shackled Muse: Medieval Latin Translators and Poetry in Greek Philosophers” in Cihannüma (2024). Beullens supervises PhD projects on annotations to Aristotle’s De anima and natural philosophy in the Latin Middle Ages, contributing to the understanding of Aristotle's reception and the history of medieval science and philosophy.
