Robert Grossteste (1175-1253), obispo de Lincoln y probablemente el primer canciller de la Universidad de Oxford, donde introdujo el pensamiento de Aristóteles y la idea griega de la Explicatio en el método científico. Impulsó el estudio de las matemáticas gracias a su conocimiento de autores árabes. Fue uno de los mayores eruditos de su tiempo, se conocen trabajos suyos de teología, matemáticas, física, óptica, geometría, etc. Grosseteste considera la luz como la primera materia creada por Dios y a partir de la cual se constituye el universo. La luz, generada en un punto, se expande en todas las direcciones y en todas las dimensiones, hasta que ya no puede hacerlo más, pues la materia es finita; desde ahí, firmamentum, la luz se refleja hacia su origen evidenciando a su paso las distintas esferas que conforman el universo (sphera mundi). Acerca de la Luz o del comienzo de las formas, es presentado por primera vez en español, en una edición bilingüe y anotada, y pretende ser un acercamiento a una de las mentes más singulares del pensamiento de la Edad Media.
