- Title
- [Aristotelica varia]
- Description
- This manuscript contains, among other material, anonymous commentaries on a number of Aristotelian works. Multiple fifteenth-century hands are represented in the manuscript, and some of the scribes give their names. Judging by the extensive notes and highlighting throughout the volume, this codex probably belonged to a student. The pages displayed contain a commentary on book IV of Aristotle’s Physics with many marginal notes. The right page includes a passage discussing Plato’s conception of space and matter (which Aristotle mentions in Physics 209b). While the cursive hand is very difficult to read, there is an abbreviation (plto) roughly in the middle of the right column that probably represents “Plato.” It is also possible to make out the phrase antiqui phī (“ancient philosopher,” the second word being an abbreviation for philosophi) in this section.
