Thesis 3>44

Latin

Aristoteles in libro Methaphysicae de deo non tractat nisi in ultimo capitulo duodecimi quod incipit: Considerandum est etiam utronam modo uniuersum habet bonum.

English

In the Metaphysics Aristotle takes up God only in the final chapter of Book Twelve, the one opening with the words: 'It must also be considered in which of two ways the universe possesses the good.'

The Latin thesis itself quotes the opening of Metaphysics 12.10; kept as a quotation within the translation.
