Thesis 24.51

Latin

Sicut intelligibilia causae sunt uniuersarum serierum, ita intellectualia diuisionum secundum genera communia, supermundana differentium secundum speciem; mundana differentium secundum indiuiduum.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 16717

Apparatus (Farmer): 1487 universarum spetierum

English

As intelligibles are the causes of all the series, so intellectuals are causes of the divisions by common genera, supermundane things of those differing by species, and mundane things of those differing by individual.

The three genitive plurals 'diuisionum ... differentium ... differentium' depend on 'causae' understood; supplied in the English. The OCR variant 'universarum spetierum' noted at farmer1998:16730 is Farmer's apparatus, not part of this text.
