Is Matter the Same as Its Potency? Some Fourteenth-Century Answers
Abstract
Is prime matter the same as its potency (potentia), its readiness to take on the entire gamut of corporeal substantial forms? This question, arising from a passage in Averroes, lies at the core of later medieval hylomorphism and was hotly debated. The present article looks at three answers to the question by figures from the first half of the fourteenth century: Gerald Ot who takes a Scotistic approach to the issue, John of Jandun and Peter Auriol taking an Averroan tack, and John Buridan with a nominalistic outlook. The discussion reveals a diversity of positions on the nature of potency and its relation to actuality, and in the case of Buridan an unusual view at the heart of his matter theory: the direct inherence of accidental forms in prime matter.

GERALD OT (D. 1349) ON PRIME MATTER WITH AN EDITION OF HIS II SENTENCES, DISTINCTION 12
Gerald Ot is best known for defending interesting and, in the medieval world, unusual views, like atomism. The present article offers a first ever edition of Gerald’s treatment of prime matter in his II Sentences, d. 12. The introduction places the text and the issues dealt with in their historical and intellectual context, with special attention paid to the background to Gerald’s views in Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, and Peter Auriol. Gerald has a Scotistic orientation to his ideas on prime matter, but he offers significant terminological and theoretical nuance to Scotus. Prime matter must have some actuality in its own right, what Gerald calls “transcendental actuality”, which is the disjunctive transcendental that together with “potency objectively taken” divides all of being. Here as elsewhere Gerald holds unusual views, like the direct inherence of material accidents in prime matter. The article includes an edition of an abbreviation of Gerald’s text made by the Franciscan theologian, Aufredo Gonteri Brito.
