  • Incipit:
    Bonorum honorabilium etc. De anima quecumque est possibile scientia comprehendere assequentes Aristotelem temptandum nobis in hoc tractatu exponere hoc quidem revelando, hoc autem confirmando hoc autem si non gravius est dicere elaborando.
  • Explicit:
    ... linquam autem duorum gratia scilicet ad gustum et ad significare aliquid alteri.
  • Note:
    The translation seems to have been made from the Greek, but the emendated text was not yet applied to it (cf. Halm / Laubmann / Meyer ). Grabmann also gives the greek version of the incipit and explicit in comparison (cf. p. 65).

    Scio quod si intendo ad exponendam unamquamque litteram libri Aristotelis , cum jam precesserint me ad illud illi precesserunt me expositores librorum quamvis multi fuerint et secundum finem scientie eorum in ipsis non ero longinquuus.
  • Explicit:
    Quod est, quia dispositio principii apud principium est sicut dispositio totius ad totum. finit. Explicit commentum Themistii super librum posteriorum (f. 152v ).
  • Note:
    Last part omitted according to Lacombe . The text seems to continue after the explicit. The arabic-latin character of the translation is noticable in arabic words remaining within the latin translation, moreover, the Greek is more verbose (cf. Grabmann , pp. 62f.).

    The full title given in Halm / Laubmann / Meyer is: "Intellexisti quod quaeris tibi scribi sermonem brevem de intellectu secundum sentential Platonis et Aristotelis ; sed sententia eorum est quod intellectus erst secundum quatuor species". According to Duin , the author of the first part of this text is Al-Kindi . Starting on f. 164r , the following treatise is given: "Quia nonnulli dubitant quoniam intellectus non numeratur". There, Themistius and Albert the Great are praised. The explicit on f. 171v indicates authorship of Giles of Rome , however, the "fratris Eg." was added by a different hand in the margin. Authorship is not certain here.
