Puncta ex commentario Nicolai Tempelfeld de Brzeg in „Parva Naturaliaˮ: Editio Critica

Journal Title: Przegląd Tomistyczny - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue

Abstract

Codex BJ 1946, held in the Jagiellonian Library of Krakow, is an important source for studies on teaching in Krakow in the 15th century. The main part of its content is the so-called puncta which belong to a peculiar genre of scholastic literature noted for its extremely unelaborate form. Although little is known about puncta-commentaries from secondary literature, it seems they were written by scholars for at least three purposes. Some of them were composed in order to present a register of issues necessary for exams, playing the role of syllabuses. Another type of puncta is supposed to be a workbook and such texts were often a revised edition of a lecturer’s commentary. Finally, some texts called puncta are excerpts from other works, only slightly altered and revised by their authors. Despite differences in the purposes of their origin, all puncta have an obvious common feature: they are abbreviated and in some way revised versions of earlier works. The case of the Puncta in Parva Naturalia here was preserved in cod. BJ 1946, a fundamental text for which was a commentary by Nicolas Tempelfeld of Brzeg.
