These books are quite expensive, that is why you can't find it online. 
I have them sitting on the bookshelf, these are 1000+ pages of reading and very technical.

Thank you, David! I know these books are not accessible online, but with a reference I can go and check in libraries. The text I am talking about is "Quaestiones super libros Meteororum". I have only found references to this old edition of only part of one of the four sections of this work:

Questiones super quatuor libros meteororum, in SC McCluskey, ed, Nicole Oresme on Light, Color and the Rainbow: An Edition and Translation, with introduction and critical notes, of Part of Book Three of his Questiones super quatuor libros meteororum (PhD dissertation, University of Wisconsin, 1974)

This is mentioned on the Oresme wikipedia page, but it also is the only reference I have seen in books.
If you could also dig out references to other manuscripts of that work, that would be appreciated too.

Of course, I don't intend to read the whole work, but a transcription would allow me to understand the abbreviations used in Sang. 839.
