Description
Summary:Radulphus Brito's 'Quaestiones super Priora Analytica Aristotelis' is a major work written in the early 1300s which treated Aristotle's text devoted to the theory of the syllogism. Brito, perhaps one of the most influential medieval thinkers known as the Modistae, examines both categorical and hypothetical syllogisms. In his text, based on six known manuscripts which are complete or nearly complete, Brito was critical of many of the theories of his contemporary, Simon of Faversham. It should also be mentioned that Brito edited his work several times. There are at least two versions which indicate Brito returned to this material during his long career at the university in Paris. This volume is the first critical text edition of Brito's 'Quaestiones super Priora Analytica Aristotelis' and will therefore be of great interest to those studying the history of logic and its development during the medieval period.
