Thesis 24.25

Latin

Quadruplex est fabrica: prima uniuersalia uniuersalium ex toto perornat; secunda uniuersa quidem sed particulariter; tertia secundum diuisa secundum uniuersalitatem; quarta partes particulariter contexit uniuersalibus.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 16292

Apparatus (Farmer): colon retained from 1486 edition

English

The workmanship is fourfold: the first adorns thoroughly and wholly the universals of the universals; the second, things universal indeed, but in a particular way; the third, divided things according to universality; the fourth weaves the parts, particularly, together with universals.

'fabrica' rendered 'workmanship'. In the second and third members the verb 'perornat' is understood from the first. The colon after 'fabrica' is retained from the 1486 edition (farmer1998:16305). Sense checked against farmer1998:16347.
