Undoing the Past. Necessitas per accidens e logica temporale nel De divina omnipotentia

Peter Damian’s letter 119 De divina omnipotentia is characterized by two main issues: the dilemma about the God’s capacity to restore virginity to a woman and the question about the possibility of undoing the past.
