        This article deals with Robert Grosseteste's account of 'spatial differences', such as 'up', 'down', 'right', 'left', 'before', and 'behind'. More specifically, attention is focused on Grosseteste's De differentiis localibus, which is a concise scientific treatise arguing for the objectiveness of the differences of place pertaining to all living bodies, including heavenly ones. The article has a two-fold goal: to present the contents of such an understudied opuscule, and to check if there is some compelling reliance on any of the Latin versions of Aristotle's On the Heavens. Such an analysis reveals that Grosseteste's reading of Aristotle's On the Heavens is angled by Averroes' Long Commentary on the Physics, on which Grosseteste relies as well to build his conception of mathematical and natural differences.
        Este artículo trata sobre la descripción de las 'diferencias espaciales' de Roberto Grosseteste, como 'arriba', 'abajo', 'derecha', 'izquierda', 'antes' y 'detrás'. Más específicamente, se presta especial atención al De differentiis localibus de Grosseteste, que es un breve tratado científico que defiende la objetividad de las diferencias de lugar y su pertenencia a todos los cuerpos vivos, incluidos los celestiales. El artículo tiene un doble objetivo: presentar el contenido de este opúsculo tan poco estudiado y comprobar si presenta alguna dependencia respecto a alguna de las versiones latinas del Sobre el cielo de Aristóteles. Este análisis revela que la lectura de Grosseteste de Sobre el cielo de Aristóteles está condicionada por el Comentario largo sobre la Física de Averroes, en el que Grosseteste también se basa para fundar su concepción de las diferencias matemáticas y naturales.
