Boehner's Text of Walter Burley’s De puritate artis logicae: Some Corrections and Queries

Abstract

A study done in conjunction with the author's translation: Walter Burley: On the Purity of the Art of Logic. The Shorter and the Longer Treatises ("Yale Library of Medieval Philosophy"; New Haven, Conn. Yale University Press, 2000). In preparing that translation, the author checked Philotheus Boehner's Latin edition against the manuscript Vat. lat. 3066, which contains both versions and was used by Boehner in his edition. It was found that the edition needs to be corrected or reconsidered in several places. This paper presents the findings.
