Johannes XXI, Pont. Max.Copulata tractatuum Petri Hispani (ed. Lambertus de Monte).
Analysis of content:
a1r [Title-page.] ‘Copulata omnium tractatuum Petri Hispani etiam Sincathegreumatum et paruorum logicalium cum textu secundum doctrinam diui Thome Aquinatis iuxta processum magistrorum Colonie in bursa Montis regentium'.
a2r [Introduction.] Incipit: ‘[C]irca initium Summalarum(!) Petri Hispani in quibus breuiter et compendiose determinat de his quæ in libris logice ab Arestotele Boetio Porphirio et ab aliis pertractantur . . .’
a5v Petrus Hispanus [Johannes XXI, Pont. Max.]: Summulae logicales. Incipit: ‘[D]yalectica est ars artium scientia scientiarum . . .’
a2r [Commentary of the Cologne Thomists.] Incipit: ‘Premissis quibusdam communibus in qualibet scientia prerequisitis . . .’ The commentary alternates with lemmata of the text. See Mullally no. 58. According to Severin Corsten, ‘Universities and early printing', in Bibliography and the Study of 15th-Century Civilisation, ed. Lotte Hellinga and John Goldfinch, British Library Occasional Papers, 5 (London, 1987), 83-123, at 93 (quoting C. Prantl) the author of this and the following anonymous commentaries is Lambertus de Monte, principal of the Bursa ‘Montana' at the University of Cologne.
z6r [First colophon.] Incipit: ‘Copulata sex tractatuum Petri Hyspani secundum doctrinam sancti Thome Aquinatis, studio magistrorum Colonie in bursa Montis regentium industrie collecta et nuper pro exercitio neophytorum logice solerter impressa . . .’
A1r [Commentum in tractatum parvorum logicalium Petri Hispani.] Incipit: ‘[C]irca initium paruorum logicalium (quorum ignorantia plerosque magnos in multarum propositionum veritate et falsitate turpiter errare fecit . . .’
A2v Petrus Hispanus [Johannes XXI, Pont. Max.]: Parva logicalia. Incipit: ‘[E]orum que dicuntur quedam dicuntur cum complexsione . . .’
A2v [Commentum.] Incipit: ‘Iste est primus tractatus parvorum logicalium in quo Petrus Hispanus determinat de suppositione terminorum . . .’
G1r Petrus Hispanus [Johannes XXI, Pont. Max.]: Syncategoremata. Incipit: ‘[A]b eo quod res est vel non est oratio vera vel falsa dicitur. Sed a doctoribus sincathegreumatibus . . .’ The text bears only a slight resemblance to that published by L. M. de Rijk and Joke Spruyt, Syncategoreumata, Studien und Texte zur Geistesgeschichte des Mittelalters, 30 (Leiden, 1992), 38-432, although the sophismata are closer to de Rijk and Spruyt. The treatise on Syncategoremata is inserted between the seventh and the eigth treatises; the colophon says ‘necnon textus eiusdem de sincathegreumatibus quem aliqui octauum appellant tractatum'.
L8r [Second colophon.] The colophon states that Lambertus de Monte, professor at the University of Cologne, has edited the works in the volume.
