First edition (?) of this early postincunabulum containing the extended commentary by John Duns Scotus (c. 1266-1308) on the "Sentences", most important textbook of the scolastic theologian Pietro Lombardo (c. 1100-1160). Followed by the "Quaestiones Quodlibetales". The commentary was written in Oxford and presents treaties mainly in theology but also on logical, metaphysical, grammatical, and scientific topics, so that nearly the whole system of philosophy of Scotus can be derived from this work.
