[154] This was the impression that I received from the text in CLM 2595 rather than that “His former work, therefore, he suppressed and begged everyone who possessed the book to join him in condemning and destroying it”;--R.

APPENDIX I EDITIONS AND MANUSCRIPTS OF THE ORIGINAL AND OF THE REVISED VERSION OF THE WORK OF WILLIAM OF CONCHES ON NATURAL PHILOSOPHY Although, as the ensuing bibliography will make apparent, a variety of titles have been at one time or another applied to the two versions of the work in question, we shall refer to the original version as _Philosophia_ and the revision as _Dragmaticon_, which appear to be both the handiest and the most correct appellations, although personally I should prefer _Dramaticus_ for the latter. The two works may perhaps be most readily distinguished by their _Incipits_, which are, for _Philosophia_, “Quoniam ut ait Tullius in prologo rhetoricorum, Eloquentia sine sapientia ...”, and for _Dragmaticon_, “Quaeris, venerande dux Normannorum et comes Andagavensium, cur magistris nostri temporis minus creditur quam antiquis....” The titles and the number of books into which the work is divided differ a good deal in different editions and manuscripts, and the catalogues of manuscript collections sometimes do not identify the author. First as to printed editions. _Philosophia_ has been printed three times as the work of three other authors. Philosophicarum et astronomicarum institutionum Guilelmi Hirsaugiensis olim abbatis libri tres, Basel, 1531. Bede, Opera, 1563, II, 311-43, Περὶ Διδάξων, sive Elementorum Philosophiae Libri IV. Honorius of Autun, De philosophia mundi, Migne, PL vol. 172. _Dragmaticon_ seems to be have been printed but once under the title, Dialogus de substantiis physicis confectus a Guillelmo aneponymo philosopho, Strasburg, 1567.
