Richard Kilvington was one of the most talented Oxford Calculators. His influence on late medieval philosophy and theology remains unquestionable. He made a name for himself with his logical treatise Sophismata, which was soon followed by a series of three commentaries on Aristotles works and a commentary on Peter Lombards Sentences. Richard Kilvington on the Capacity of Created Being, Infinity, and Being Simultaneously in Rome and Paris by Monika Michaowska presents a critical edition of question 3 from Kilvingtons Quaestiones super libros Sententiarum, complete with an introduction to the edition and a guide to Kilvingtons theological concepts. Kilvingtons theological question commentary enjoyed considerable popularity and became a source of continuous inspiration for Oxonian and Parisian masters.

"Volume 130 of the series Studien und Texte zur Geistesgeschichte des Mittelalters contains a new critical edition of a text by Richard Kilvington, a fragment of his question commentary on the Sentences. Its author, Monika Michaowska, who edited Kilvingtons questions to Ethics for the same series in 2016, has again demonstrated her expertise in the painstaking work of an editor as well as mastery in tracing the paths of the English thinkers arcane reasoning. The task she undertook was genuinely demanding, for the commentary is a huge and complex work, as many Sentences commentaries, and its manuscript tradition is rich and complicated.[...] Michaowskas editorial work produced a text which is lucid even in the most difficult passages thanks to the internal divisions and sensible punctuation she has introduced. [...], it is an interesting and important work that really deserved a modern critical edition. At last, we have it!"
