Três momentos na tradição de comentário aos Tractatus de Pedro Hispano

Abstract

Pedro Hispano's Tractatus (or Summulae logicales), often accompanied by his Syncategoreumata, experienced na extraordinary textual transmission from the 13th century to the 16th century and the beginning of modern times. Whether in their entirety or, more often than not, with different clippings, the Tractatus have been the subject of a commentary tradition of which a large hundred commentaries have been identified. We propose here an outline of this tradition, centred on three major moments: 1. The first diffusion; 2. The Italian diffusion, in the convergence of British and Parisian logical-philosophical influences(namely Buridan and the nominalist tradition); 3. The long 15th century (14th-16th) and the commentaries of the newly founded universities of central Europe.

Key words: Peter of Spain/Petrus Hispanus,Tractatus, Summulae logicales, logical commentaries.
