The Grey Friars in Oxford
Little, A. G. (Andrew George)
Franciscans -- Great Britain
The last sentence Goldast surmises to be an addition of the editor,
Ascensius; but it occurs at the end of the Dijon MS., and both Goldast and
Riezler are probably mistaken in thinking that Ascensius had the whole
work before him and arbitrarily omitted Treatises III-IX[1467]. These were
probably never written. The Lambeth MS. (the only MS. in England which
contains Part III) and one version in the Mazarine MS. end with the words
‘passibilis et mortalis,’ like the printed editions, with the colophon (in
Lambeth MS.): ‘Dyalogorum venerabilis Guillermi Okam finis.’ The five
other MSS. in Paris, which contain Part III, leave out the last seven
chapters of the printed edition, and the Auxerre and Toulouse MSS.
likewise do not go beyond the third book of Treatise II. It is possible
that the Vatican and Basel MSS. may supply the remaining treatises; but
this is unlikely. About the year 1400, Peter d’Ailly, who must have had
exceptionally good opportunities for getting information[1468], wrote a
summary of the _Dialogus_[1469]. In this he omits Treatise I of Part III,
and concludes with the 16th chapter of the third book of Treatise II (like
the Parisian MSS.), adding:
‘et non plus de hoc notabili opere potui reperire’[1470].
Several of Ockham’s other works correspond in substance to the projected
treatises of Part III; these will be noted in due course.
_Defensorium (de paupertate Christi) contra Johannem XXII_ (written
between 1335 and 1349). _Inc._ ‘Universis Christi fidelibus.... Primus
error est quod Dominus noster.’

439-464.

frater Willelmus de Okkham.’ _Inc. cap._ i. ‘Si reges et principes

MS. Brit. Museum: Royal 10 A, xv (sec. xiv).
_Tractatus adversus errores Johannis XXII_, or _Compendium errorum papae_

scripturam.’
