Fragments 4–6

No. 5ra–vb, no. 6ra–vb, no. 4ra–va Scholastic quæstiones

Fragments 7–8

From a text break no. 7, fol. 2ra: ‘Deinde queritur de vtilitate temporali que non excusatur cum adminculo necessitatis uel veritatis vbi queruntur duo [P]rimo de vtilitate temporali prout excusat cum adiutorio actionis quero si excusat tam ex parte \ex/ comunicantis quam ex comunicantis quam alterius cuiusque . . .’

Fragments 9–10

From the only readily legible portion, no. 9va: ‘. . . refert ergo querere vtrum symus inplicet nasum in recto et vtrum significet ipsum in recto Cum ergo dicitur symus est ⟨.⟩asus canus is hec diffinitio denotat modum quo nasus inplicatur in symo sic est recta et condigna set si denotat modum quo nasus signat . . .’. A note in pencil on the first folio suggests that the author may be Augustine, and it has also been suggested that the text is part of a late medieval exegesis, perhaps of Ps. 113:6. However, the references to Aristotle, and the subject-matter in the portion quoted above suggest that this is a scholastic discussion of Metaphysics, book 7.
