John:
Can't you directly, but there is a wonderful article by R James Long
in Franciscan Studies 54 (1998), entitled 'Of Angels and Pinheads',
and it is about the treatment of angelic location and motion in 13th
century english theological thought (mainly Richard Fishacre, who
was almost as clever as Grosseteste :-]). I think Jim refers to
some literature about the misconception in the opening sections.
It is a great article, and a fantastic title (it has a more sober
subtitle, but I can't be expected to remember the important stuff!).
Cheers
Jim
