New Simpson Translations

Some more news: Peter Simpson (webpage here) has recently completed a translation of Franciscus de Mayronis' Tractatus de univocatione entis, probably an excerpt from the Conflatus. He has also started translating a commentary on the Sentences attributed to Antonius Andreas. Simpson notes in the preface to the latter translation that:

The Subtle Doctor’s theology, just as such and without the scholars' qualifications and updatings, deserves to much more widely known and so needs to be made available in easier forms. Not everyone has to be a scholar or familiar with the scholars' findings to attain a basic and salutary grasp of Scotism.

It annoys me that he hasn't translated distinction three (of book I of the ordination), just given how important it is. Any idea where we can get a good copy of that (in latin, pregerably) online, and for free? Otherwise, poor graduates must lay out money...

well, Wolter translated the first half of d.3 in the Philosophical writings volume, and the (expensive) Wolter-Bychkov ed. and translation of Reportatio I covers much of the same material as the later questions of Ord. I d. 3.

He told me he wasn't translating D3 because some others were working on it.

The Logic Museum has published some of his translation here.
I was also working with him on a parallel version of the Meyronnes, but it went to the back burner :(

John van der Bercken has translated 1 d.3, now published by Fordham Press. Simpson has now added Antonius Andreas' version/summary of 1 d.3 in an appendix, if that helps.
