The conventional opposition of scholastic Aristotelianism and humanistic science has been increasingly questioned in recent years, and in these articles William Wallace aims to demonstrate that a progressive Aristotelianism in fact provided the foundation for Galileo''s scientific discoveries. The first series of articles supply much of the documentary evidence that has led the author to the sources for Galileo''s early notebooks: they show how Galileo, while teaching or preparing to teach at Pisa, actually appropriated much of his material from Jesuit lectures given at the Collegio Romano in 1598-90. The next articles then trace a number of key elements in Galileo''s later work, mainly relating to logical methodology and natural philosophy, back to sources in medieval Aristotelian thought, notably in the writings of Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas. La mise en opposition conventionnelle entre lâaristot©lisme scolastique et la science humaniste a ©t© de plus en plus remise en question durant les derni¨res ann©es. Tout au long de ces articles, William Wallace tente de d©montrer que lâaristot©lisme progressif a en fait pourvu le fondement des d©couvertes scientifiques de Galil©e. Le premier groupe dâarticles fournit la plupart des preuves document©es qui ont men© lâauteur aux sources des premiers cahiers de notes de Galil©e; on y voit comment celui-ci, alors quâil enseignait, ou sâapprªtait   enseigner   Pise, sâ©tait en fait appropri© quantit© de donne©s issues de cours magistraux j©suites qui avaient ©t© donn©s au Collegio Romano entre 1588 et 90. Les ©tudes suivantes retracent   leur tour un certain nombre dâelements-clef des travaux ult©rieurs de Galil©e, se rapportant plus particuli¨rement   la m©thodologie logique et a la philosophie naturelle, jusquâ  leurs sources dans la pens©e aristot©licienne du Moyen Age, notamment dans les ©crits dâAlbert le Grand et de Thomas dâAquin.
