Tractatus questionum de principiis nature by Antonius Andreas, 1459
Contents
This section contains the Tractatus questionum de principiis nature by Antonius Andreas or Antonio Andrés, a Spanish Franciscan theologian and pupil of Duns Scotus, and an important philosopher-theologian. This text is heavily based on the work of Duns Scotus, and is a philosophical tract.
The Prologue starts on f. 1r with the words Cum secundum doctrinam Aristotelis in plerisque locis ex notitia puerorum videatur, notiticia cujuscunque rei essenciali dependere. Idcirco ad habendam citius et perfectius scientiam sive notitiam physice naturalis de principiis nature.
The Text also starts on f. 1r with the words Utrum mobilitas sit formalis vero subscriva primi subscripti physice naturalis. It ends on f. 56r with sine generatione et corpore. Sic ergo terminatus est tractatus questionum de principiis nature. Deo gracias.
The Colophon is also on f. 56r and reads Attende lector qui legis. Scilicet quod si vero benedictum est in questionibus supradictis ab arte doctrine Scotice processit cujus vestigia in quam potui et quoniam ipsum capio sum secutus. Si autem aliquid maledictum in praesenti opere reperires vel repugnares mee imperitie attribues quod si vero aliquid clerice [. . .] continetur nee et protunc revoco tamquam dictum fuerit ignoranter puta quod ignoramini mentem Scoti.
