Jump to navigationJump to searchContents: William of Ockham, 1 Dial. (fol. 1-175r), 2 Dial. (175r-192v), 3.2 Dial. (192v-232r). 1 Dial. books 2-7 begin at 5v, 17r, 21v, 32r, 52r, 114v. From the British Academy description:
- Published Information (Knysh): Jose Maria Ozaeta,O.S.A., "Codice de los 'Dialogos' de Ockham en la biblioteca privada de los PP. Agustinos del Escorial", Ciudad Dios 189 (1976), pp. 493-512. Cf. also Collectanea Franciscana, t. XIV, fasc, 3, n. 4255. Dates manuscript to the late 14th or early 15th century.
- Observations: Contains emendations throughout, some in the margins, some between lines, some written into gaps in the text or over erasures, also notes ("Nota...") and other comments. These emendations were apparently not made by the original scribe. Some decoration of initial capitals, sometimes with vertical lines and two circles making a strange face. For examples see fols. 32r, 32v, 33r, 33v, 34r, 34v, 41r, 41v, 43r (images posted with kind permission of Biblioteca Agustinos, Real Monasterio del Escorial, Madrid, Spain). On the page 1 Dial. ends 2 Dial. begins (175r), on the page 2 Dial. ends 3.2 Dial. begins (192v): the three parts always made one MS.
- See End of 3.2 Dial. A comment at the end of the main text (232r) after the word "antistitem" ("hic est finis istius doctoris quia non reperitur plus parisius deo laus et virgini intemerate") suggests either that Es was copied at least partly in Paris (other evidence suggests it was copied in Toulouse) or that the copyist had made inquiries in Paris or, more likely, that Es had a Parisian exemplar. If "doctoris" is an error for "dialogi" the comment may have been copied from the exemplar.
- Collation shows that in 1 Dial. Es belongs to the B family.
- Knysh: A note preceding fol. 1r states that the manuscript was copied in Toulouse. The script appears to be of the early 15th century. The manuscript has marginal corrections and additions throughout.
