Recycling or Rubbishing Ockham’s Sentences?
Two bifolia from a quire of the Prologus to the Sentences of William of Ockham were used as a pastedown and flyleaf in Besançon, Bibliothèque municipale d’étude et de conservation, 198, a manuscript of the Sentences questions of James of Eltville copied in Paris at the College of St. Bernard around 1399. The open question is why one of Ockham’s most captivating philosophical texts was reduced to its materiality and merely employed to bind a later text of the same genre.
