Jump to navigationJump to searchContents: William of Ockham, 1 Dial. (fols. 2r-349v), 2 Dial. (fols. 350r-379v), 3.2 Dial. (fols. 380r-427v). 1 Dial. books 2-7 begin at 11v, 35r, 43r, 62r, 102v, 230r.
From the British Academy description:
- Handwritten description from the library: "Iste liber est fratrum predicatorum domus Basiliensis". Dates MS to the 15th century. Three hands, with changes at 348v-349r (just one folio before the end of 1 Dial.), 379v-380r.
- Observations: Space left for decoration, but none executed, e.g. 2r, 62r.
- Collation shows that Ba, Di, Es and To (family B) are similar for all parts of the Dialogus. In 1 Dial. this group is related to family A. See here, here, here, here, and here. In 3.2 Dial. Ba belongs to a family that ends (427v) with "antistitem" (3.2 Dial. 3.16); see End of 3.2 Dial.
- No extant member of this family (at least in 1 Dial. 1-5) has been copied or corrected from another. In each there are short passages omitted that are found in the MS that might otherwise have seemed a copy. To is full of errors and omissions, so was Es before it was corrected; however, To is not a copy of uncorrected Es or vice versa; both may descend from a common non-extant ancestor, one in which there were many omissions. Es was corrected from some MS belonging to the A family, and Es as corrected is close to Ba; however, the marginal and interlinear corrections in Es do not come from Ba and Ba is not a fair copy of Es as corrected. Di is close to Ba, but neither is a copy of the other.
