Mauthner's assertion (_Beiträge zu einer Kritik der Sprache,_ Berlin, 1901, ii. 497-8) that Vico was a nominalist and that the great discoveries of the _Scienza Nuova_ were due to his nominalism, is quite arbitrary and not founded correctly on his autobiography.] [Footnote 17: _Autobiography,_ ed. cit. pp. 5-6. Pietro Giannone was also studying Scotism about 1690 (_Vita scritta da lui medesimo,_ ed. Nicolini, pp. 6-7).] [Footnote 18: Werner, _Johannes Duns Scotus_ (Wien, 1881), p. 76.] [Footnote 19: Werner, _Die nachscotistische Scholastik_ (Wien, 1883), p. 82.] [Footnote 20: _Scritti filosofici inediti,_ ed.

This passage of Ficino has been quoted and commented on by my friend Gentile, in a highly important monograph on _La prima fase della filosofia di G. B. Vico_ (viz. the "inaugural lectures"), published in the miscellany in honour of Francesco Torraca (1912, see _infra,_ p. 310) and read in MS. by myself, thanks to the courtesy of the author.] [Footnote 28: See Gentile's monograph, mentioned above.] [Footnote 29: These passages of the _Tractatus de arcanis aeternitatis,_ ch. iv., and of the _De subtilitate,_ bks. xi. and xxi. are quoted and commented on by Fiorentino, _Bernardino Telesio ossia studi storici su l' idea della natura nel risorgimento italiano_ (Florence, Le Monnier, 1872), i. 212-13, who does not fail to observe the relations with Vico's criterion.] [Footnote 30: Thomae Cornelii consentini _Progymnasmata physica_ (Naples, MDCLXXXVIII.), p. 70: cf. also p. 64.] [Footnote 31: See Gentile's monograph, mentioned above.] [Footnote 32: By A.
