Il repertorio descrive e analizza il contenuto dottrinale, esegetico e dossografico di otto serie di questioni inedite sul libro III della «Fisica» di Aristotele (relativo alle nozioni di movimento e infinito), comprese in commenti anonimi di autori inglesi della metà del XIII secolo, probabilmente maestri della Facoltà delle Arti di Oxford. La descrizione di ogni questione è corredata da un apparato di passi paralleli che dà conto dell'omogeneità dei commenti. L'ampia introduzione al volume offre una sintesi delle tematiche relative al movimento e all'infinito trattate nei commenti.
