Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 12076

OCR 'idemtitate' corrected to 'identitate'.

English

A plurality of formalities is compatible with a single real identity.

'formalitas': a Scotist formal distinction, real yet inseparable from the thing in which it is found, standing between a real and a merely conceptual distinction (Farmer's note, farmer1998:12090). Sense checked against farmer1998:12106.
