| Sumario: | The article begins by analyzing the possible background of the Augustinian notion of pondus. The text of Sap. 11:21 is proposed as the most probable, on the biblical side; on the side of Greek culture, the Aristotelian notions of pondus, as they appear in De Caelo IV.

Finally, after indicating in the Augustinian works a probable ambivalence of this word, the main notes from which its importance is derived are marked. |
