- For example E. J. Dijksterhuis, in his The mechanisation of the world picture Oxford 1961 states: ‘When reading his first utterances in the writings De motu, written in Pisa but not published in his life-time, one may imagine oneself transferred to Buridan's lecture room’ (p. 334). Ernan McMullin, in Galileo man of science (1967, London), remarks that ‘De motu is the sort of thing that could conceivably have been written by one of the Paris or Oxford physicists who flourished two centuries before Galileo's time’ (p. 7).
