AB  - Scientific scholasticism produced many innovations that can often be understood as involving subtle play with models, as can be seen in the topic of magnetic attraction in the ­commentaries on ­Aristotle’s Physics. The peripatetician framework could follow through a logic so rigorously as to lead to the re-invention of solutions that had already been found, as would appear to be attested by the formulation by Latin ­commentators of the Physics of the idea that the air between a magnet and a piece of iron is gradually altered by magnetic force. Additionally, the awareness of a ­conceptual ­consistency in the work of an author such as Averroes could at times lead to his being ascribed an argument that actually came from a later tradition ; for example, the maximum weight of a piece of iron that could be moved by a given magnet. Nevertheless, the use of models did not necessarily impose a ­conceptual straitjacket : innovation and divergences were accorded a certain role as can be seen in the differences between the tradition of English ­commentators on the Physics and that of Parisian ­commentators : different issues and disagreements bear witness to the fruitfulness of scholastic thought within which the model most likely functioned more as a stimulus than as a yoke.
