- Robert Grosseteste was one of the most prominent thinkers of the Thirteenth Century. In the framework of the Aristotelian physics and under the influence of a Neoplatonic outlook, Grosseteste wrote several scientific treatises, mainly concerning some problems of optics, acoustic and the causes of heat. Here we discuss the laws of reflection and refraction of light, as proposed in one of his treatises, the De Iride. In particular, we will consider his law of refraction.
