Nec particularis affirmatiua possibilis conuertitur semper in affirmatiuam possibilem, nec necessaria particularis affirmatiua in necessariam, ut credidit Aristoteles.

Apparatus (Farmer): See note 7.26-28. Commenting on Prior Analytics 1.2-3. Much discussion of the “converübility" of propositions (see note 3>48) passed between Pico and Elia del Medigo in 1486, as we see in Elia’s letter to Pico written on the eve of Pico’s debate. See the text in Kieszkowski, ed. (1964). |
Sheet's 'affırmatiua' (dotless ı) normalized to 'affirmatiua'.
English
Contrary to what Aristotle believed, a particular possible affirmative does not always convert into another possible affirmative, nor does a particular necessary affirmative always convert into a necessary one.
