Thesis 2>49

Latin

Ponere differentiam inter simitatem et albedinem aut consimilia accidentia per hoc, quod illud separabile sit, illud inseparabile a certo subiecto, fictitium est.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 19660

Apparatus (Farmer): 1487 fictiuum

The sheet's line-break slash in 'inseparabile/a certo subiecto' is repaired to a space. 1487 reads 'fictiuum' for 'fictitium'.

English

To posit a difference between snubness and whiteness, or similar accidents, on the ground that the one is separable and the other inseparable from a given subject, is a fiction.

Sense checked; no further crux.
