Thesis 5>45

Latin

Sensus naturae quem ponunt Alchindus, Bacon, Guilielmus Parisiensis, et quidam alii, maxime autem omnes magi, nihil est aliud quam sensus uehiculi quem ponunt Platonici.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 22973

Apparatus (Farmer): 1486 Alchindus. Bacon Guilielmus Parisiensus:

1486 print reads 'Alchindus. Bacon Guilielmus Parisiensus:' with periods for commas and without 'et' (farmer1998:23000); wording unchanged.

English

Al-Kindi, Bacon, William of Paris, and various others—indeed virtually every magus—posit a 'sense of nature'; this is nothing but the sense possessed by the vehicle that the Platonists describe.

Sense checked against farmer1998:23028; no further crux.
