The article examines the two Latin versions of Artephius's Clavis sapientiae (Key of Wisdom) that have been preserved in early modern collections of alchemical texts. A comparative analysis of the two versions shows that one of them has undergone a process of textual manipulation. In particular, an interpolation of short philosophical passages concerning the doctrine of prime matter has relevant interpretative implications. These additions appear to be grounded in the early thirteenth-century philosophical debate on cosmology and the first Latinate reception of Aristotle’s metaphysics.

哲学家和领域的问题：关于阿尔特菲乌斯智慧之钥的中世纪评论

本文考察了阿尔特菲乌斯 (Artephius) 的 Clavis sapientiae（智慧之钥）的两个拉丁语版本，这些版本已保存在早期现代炼金术文本集中。两个版本的对比分析表明，其中一个版本经历了文本处理的过程。尤其是，关于主要物质学说的简短哲学段落的插值具有相关的解释意义。这些补充似乎植根于 13 世纪早期关于宇宙学的哲学辩论和亚里士多德形而上学的第一次拉丁接受。
