From The Logic Museum
Jump to navigationJump to searchContents: 1 Dial. (fols. 1-102v), 2 Dial. (fols. 102v-111r), 3.2 Dial. (fols. 111v-132r). 1 Dial. books 2-7 begin at 4r, 11v, 14v, 21v, 34v, 73r.
From the British Academy description:
- Published Information: See See Scholz Unbekannte, p. 144; Etzkorn, Iter, p. 89. Both date Vd to the 15th century.
- Observations: Text in same hand throughout. Copyist has made some marginal corrections. Other marginalia in the one hand (different from text hand) throughout; they include some corrections but are mostly chapter numbers, statements of questions under discussion and indications of stages of argument ("Contra secundum" etc.); see 3v4r, 34v35r. In gatherings of 10 folios. Some material is out of order. On fol. 110v the copyist writes: "Adverte hic diligenter quia columpne tres immediate sequentes spectant ad tractatum precedentem. Nescio enim in quo loco seu qua carta locari debeant. Relinquo quoque illud domino et preceptori meo"). The three columns (110vb line 1 to last line 111rb) correspond with Ly 168vb40-170ra45. This text should follow the last line of 104vb. At that point someone has written: "Require in ultimo col. huius quinternii qui incipit 'promittitur anime'". The annotator who numbered the chapters of 2 Dial. has supplied chapter numbers for the displaced text. The gathering that begins on 111r, which contains 3.2 Dial. 1, is also disordered. Its folios have been renumbered after binding as follows: 115, 113, 114, 112, 119, 117, 118, 116, 120. If the folios are read in numerical order the text will be in the correct sequence. 3.2 Dial. 2 begins on 121r. Vd ends ( 132v) before "antistitem", at a point corresponding to Ly fol. 270v a6, in the middle of a word, only part-way through a page--evidently its exemplar had lost the text following.
- Collation shows that in 1 Dial. Vd belongs to the family that includes Ca La. In 3.2 Dial. Vd seems to share an ancestor with the extant members of the "antistitem" family but with some correction from another source; see End of 3.2 Dial.
- Scott: Vd is a very careless MS with some outlandish readings but there is reason to suspect that it may have been copied from a MS partially corrected against the recension represented by Mz Na Ve.
