The only edition, often ascribed to Duns Scotus, understandable as e.g. on leaf AA1-r “finaliter se ad mentem subtilissimi doctoris Johannis Schoti ordinis minori”. The Analytica priora (Prior Analytics) and Analytica posteriora (Posterior Analytics) are two of the treatises that constitute Aristotle’s Organon, his great work on Logic, specifically the syllogism (the method used to reach a conclusion). The other treatises are the Posterior Analytics, The Topics and the Elenchi (Sophistical Refutations), together with those On Categories and On Interpretation. Aristotle treats deductive reasoning in the Prior and the Posterior Analytics. Part of these treatises were also printed by Quentell in the same year “Quaestiones in Aristotelem logicam veterum” (Hain 5865; GW M 36734; Goff Q-5) and Quaestiones in Aristotelis logicam naturalem philosophiam (HC 13642; GW M 36739; Goff Q-6). In the first book, the Analytica priora, he treats specifically the nature of the syllogism. This book starts on leaf AA 1-verso with”Primum oportet dicere circa quid r de quo est intention Q(ua)m demonstratione(m) et de disciplina demonstratiua. (E)Ste est liber prio(rum) analeticorum Arestotelis” (in the translation of Jenkinson: “We must first state the subject of our inquiry and the faculty to which it belongs: its subject is demonstration and the faculty that carries it out demonstrative science. We must next define a premiss, a term, and a syllogism, and the nature of a perfect and of an imperfect syllogism; and after that, the inclusion or noninclusion of one term in another as in a whole, and what we mean by predicating one term of all, or none, of another”). Whereas the first book (Analytica priora) is more the theoretical part, the second book (Analytica posteriora) is the more practical part, demonstrating the syllogism.This second book starts here on leaf ff1-r with “(O)Mnis doctrina romis disciplina itellectiua …….” (in Jenkinson’s translation: We have already explained the number of the figures, the character and number of the premisses, when and how a syllogism is formed; further what we must look for when a refuting and establishing propositions, and how we should investigate a given problem in any branch of inquiry, also by what means we shall obtain principles appropriate to each subject). In The Topics the probable or dialectic syllogism is discussed and the Elenchi teaches how to avoid, or refute, sophistical syllogisms. In “The Categories” Aristotle classifies in tenfold all that exists and in “On Interpretation” the concepts of proposition and judgment are discussed. Several pages bit browned and with waterstains, last leaves with a few small wormholes within the text. But a very rare edition (not in BM and only 1 copy in JAP), well bound.
