Weimar Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibl. Q23
From The Logic Museum
Jump to navigationJump to searchContents: 1 Dial. (fols. 2r-214v). 1 Dial. books 2-7 begin at 9r, 23v, 30r, 43v, 63r, 146r From the British Academy description:
- Published Information: Matthias Eifler, Katalog der lateinischen mittelalterlichen Handschriften der Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek. Eifler dates the manuscript to about 1340-45, making it the earliest of the extant Dialogus manuscripts, made while Ockham was still alive. Knysh: This is not conclusively established. Cf. Preliminary comment to 1 Dial. 6.1-15 here.
- Observations: Many changes of handwriting: every gathering is written in a new hand (the third by several hands). Handwriting changes at folios 1, 16, 28, 40, 52, 60, 67, 79, 95, 103, 115, 127, 137, 147, 155, 167, 175, 187, 197, 207 (and possibly in other places).The gatherings were presumably copied simultaneously by a team of writers (cf. Di). The codex begins with the same "preface" as is found in Fr. Previous ownership: collegium universitatis Erfordiae.
- Collation shows that We belongs to the group consisting of: We ((Ox Av)(Vf Vc)) Br, where brackets indicate sub-groups.
- Knysh: P. Lehmann, Mittelalterliche Bibliothekskataloge, Bd.2, München 1928, p.148 (n. G 17), noted that the manuscript had been given to the Faculty of Arts at Erfurt University by "Dominus Doctor Wilhelmus de Aquisgrano"; G. Knysh, Fragments of Ockham hermeneutics,Winnipeg 1997, pp. 155-156; J. Miethke, De Potestate Papae, Tuebingen 2000, p. 278. A manuscript once believed to be of the second half of the 15th century. This cannot be definitely ruled out, but seems unlikely.
