Thesis 3>45

Latin

Ordo librorum Methaphysicae post naturales, eo modo quo eos ordinauit Aristoteles, secundum nullum processum, siue compositiuum siue resolutiuum, potest esse rectus.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 20971

English

The sequence in which Aristotle placed the books of the Metaphysics after the books on nature cannot be correct by any method, whether compositive or resolutive.

Sense checked; no further crux.
