[1462] Another work on the Physics ascribed to Ockham was preserved at Assisi, and perhaps is there still: inc. prol. ‘Philosophos plurimos’: inc. opus. ‘Iste liber dividitur in duas partes.’ (Wadding, Sup. ad Script. 328.)
[1463] The first, consisting of three quaestiones, is called: ‘Tractatus quam gloriosus de sacramento altaris, et in primis de puncti, linee, superficiei, corporis, quantitatis, qualitatis et substantie distinctione,’ &c. The second contains forty-one chapters: ‘Incipit accessus ad tractatum de corpore Christi.’ Explicit: ‘hec tamen simpliciter falsa est, corpus Christi est quantitas in sacramento altaris.’
[1464] Ockham did not write the Disputatio inter militem et clericum. See Riezler, 144-8.
[1465] I do not know whether this MS. contains Tractatus i of Part III; probably, like most of the MSS., it omits it.
[1466] Goldast, Monarchia, II, 771.
[1467] Goldast, Monarchia, II, 957; Riezler, 263. Goldast speaks of six treatises only as missing, being apparently under the impression that he has printed three. The subdivisions are very confusing, and lead to many mistakes.
[1468] He was B.D. of Paris in 1373; D.D. in 1380; Chancellor in 1389; Bishop of Cambrai in 1396; Cardinal in 1411; he died in 1425. Oudin, Scriptores, III, p. 2293.
[1469] MS. Paris, Bibl. Nat. 14579, fol. 88—fol. 101b: ‘Explicit abbreviatio Dyalogi Okan quam fecit magister Petrus de Alliaco Episcopus Cameracensis et postea cardinalis.’
[1470] Ibid. f. 101 b. His nomenclature differs from that used here and (generally though not consistently) in the printed editions: thus he calls ‘Pars I’ Tractatus primus; ‘Pars II,’ Tractatus secundus; ‘Pars III, Tract ii’ (the only portion of Part III known to him), Tractatus tertius. Thus fol. 98 b: ‘Tractatus tertius est de viribus Romani imperii et habet 5 libros.’ Books 1, 2, and 3, correspond to those printed in Goldast (Pars III, Tract. ii, Libri 1, 2, 3): Book 4 discussed whether the emperor should defend the rights of the Roman Empire by arms ‘etiam contra papam cardinales et clerum’; Book 5 treated ‘de rebellibus, proditoribus, ... Romani imperii.’ These two books were not known to Peter d’Ailly, and are not now to be found.
