MS. Auct. F. 3. 5, part A
Contents
Language(s): Latin
The first few leaves of a series of Distinctiones theologicae, or short articles on theological subjects: the leaves are worn, there are gaps in the transcription, and the series ends in the art. Argus with 'vaccam per bestialem', the rest being lost. A note on fol. 1 'Quedam constituta [?] Joh. Ede de ordine Minorum habentur libro completo inter fratres Mi(n)ores Her(e)fordie' has given rise to an ascription of these Distinctiones to John Ede or John of Hereford (who died in 1406) - which may or may not be true.
For John Edes (d. 1406), the possible author, see Sharpe, Latin Writers, and Emden, BRUO, 624-5.
