Thesis 8.10

Latin

Propositio dicens quod sensibile supra sensum positum non facit sensationem, non est uera nisi per accidens.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 13676

Apparatus (Farmer): 1486 dicens que sensibile | Emendationes errorum, corrige: dicens quod sensibile | 1487 text emended sic

1486 read 'dicens que sensibile', emended in the Emendationes errorum to 'dicens quod sensibile' and so adopted by 1487 (farmer1998:13691); the sheet already gives the emended reading.

English

That a sensible object set directly against the sense organ produces no sensation is a claim true only per accidens.
