A Book about Being: Anonymus Domus Petri 205 on Aristotle’s Categories

SAXO-Institute - Archaeology, Ethnology, Greek & Latin, History

Abstract

What is Aristotle's Categories about ? The present article discusses an anonymous midthirteenth-century Latin commentary on the text, whose author argues, in open opposition to most medieval commentators, that the text is simply about being (ens). First, a brief introduction to the commentary is given. Then, the commentator's explicit rejection of the standard medieval answer to the question and his own stated view are discussed. Finally, an edition of the relevant, first part (lectio) of this hitherto unedited commentary is presented.
