Scope and Contents
Marginal note on page 370: "absolvimus 18 Junii Ao 1684 qua iduo ante festum S. Iois [?]" (John the Baptist is June 24...)
The first free endpaper is inscribed: "Joannes Franciscus H[?]am Cosfeldiensis Est vers hujus libri possesor Ao 1684 [or 1584:].
The first 3 pages are "Prooemium...In Logicam Aristotelis." Pages 4-110 consist of the "Tractatus 1mus De Prolegomenis Logicae." Pages 111-275 are "Tractatus 2dus De Prima Operas [?]aus sive de urlibus," and pages 276-370 are "Tractatus tertius De Secunda Mentis Operae...Finis Lo'ae."
Each tractatus is laid out in Scholastic fashion. Probably this volume is only the rational part of the triple commentary.
