Thesis 1.1

Latin

Species intelligibiles non sunt necessariae, et eas ponere non est bonis peripateticis consentaneum.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 10925

English

Intelligible species are not necessary, and positing them does not accord with sound Peripatetic doctrine.

'species intelligibiles' is the standard scholastic term for the cognitive forms abstracted by the intellect; Farmer renders it 'intelligible images' (farmer1998:10981). Sense checked against farmer1998:10981.
