Zabarella must be considered one of the major figures of the revival of Aristotelian philosophy in the 16^th and 17^th centuries. His writings influenced the study of philosophy throughout Europe soon after the initial publication. The present works cover a number of topics, including the motion of heavy and light bodies, and the qualities of elements.
