- 2-393v. [HENRICUS DE GANDAVO, Summa theologica] Quia theologia est sciencia in qua est sermo de deo et de rebus divinis. . . . Breaks off unfinished in art. 73, q. 8 (f. 275 med. of the Paris edn. of 1520) proprie nominari potest quia nomen illud derivaretur a nomine.
- Glorieux i, no. 192j; Stegmueller, Sent, no. 318. It is arranged that art. 32 (on 136) and 51 (on 228) begin each at the head of a fresh quire. At art. 62 (33°v) there is a marked change of hand; cf. Durham Cathedral B. 1. 22, in which the text begins at that point. A contemporary hand has made fairly extensive corrections in art. 6, 27, 32, 33, 35. 39, 49, Si, 57, 58, 61; on 136 is: tota ista questio est correcta, and similarly on 174.
There are pencil notes by the scribe as follows: (13) vi d. ob. . . .; (25v) post istam peciam tenetur mihi in 6 d.; (172) tenebatur mihi scriptori in xii d. et est ista pecia . . .; (208) pro ista pecia nil solvit de debito; (3i2v) Hie idem est bis scriptum.
1 (guard-leaf) has on the verso in a small hand, over erased pencil notes: Contenta / Summa Gandavi doctoris solennis // Liber domus de Balliolo Oxonie ex dono magistri Willelmi Burnell (Emden i. 316). The late 14th-cent. College inventory-mark 2551 liber theologie is at the head of 2. Dr. Thomas Gascoigne later used the book; at the head of 2 in his hand is: Jhesus: Maria: liber iste continet summam Gandavi doctoris solennis. On 211 is Nota Burnham (cf. MS 71). [1]
