Summary:

Two works of scholastic philosophy, prepared by an unknown student under the direction of Fr. Farenschon, apparently in fulfillment of a baccalaureate in philosophy. The first work covers Aristotelian logic, including terms and syllogisms. The second work is a series of commentaries on various works, including Porphyry's Isagoge and Aristotle's De categoriis, De interpretatione, Analytica, and Topica. The section on universals considers the theories of Plato, Fonseca, and the Scotists. At the back is a list of twenty conclusions that must be defended for the degree in philosophy. An unattached folio repeats this list.
