Sobre IBD

THE science which has to do with nature clearly concerns itself for the most part with bodies and magnitudes and their properties and movements but also with the principles of this sort of substance as many as they may be. For of things constituted by nature some are bodies and magnitudes some possess body and magnitude and some are principles of things which possess these. Now a continuum is that which is divisible into parts always capable of subdivision and a body is that which is every way divisible.
