Uh Jim,
this may be too basic, but I remember people discussing when silent
reading became normative - some people think not until after the medieval
period??? and if so, this would fit into the sense of the description
Grosseteste gives, from what you say? and would make aural/oral
distinctions to correspond to the senses he's distinguishing?? Suspect the
thought is of little use or too obvious - but it's yours for the
bandwidth!
looking forward to hearing more about your conclusions soon!
cheers,
Georges
