[*1v] Badius Ascensius, Jodocus: [Prefatory letter addressed to] Johannes Trithemius. Renouard, Badius, III 86-8.
[*2r] ‘Questiones principales.’ [List of questiones.] Incipit: ‘Questio primi libri. [V]trum ad theologos vel canonistas spectet . . .’
[*3r] ‘Tabula alphabetica.’
[*10v] Badius Ascensius, Jodocus: [Verse addressed to his young readers.] Incipit: ‘Ingenui iuuenes fatis melioribus orti | Quis acre ingenium Iuppiter ipse dedit'; 16 elegiac distichs. Renouard, Badius, III 88.
a1r Guilelmus Ockham: Dialogus [part I]. Incipit: ‘[I]n omnibus curiosus existis nec me desinis infestare quis, enim ob multos editos . . .’ See G‑312. In his letter to Johann Amerbach, dated Paris, 20 June 1495, Amerbachkorrespondenz, 47-8 no. 37, Augustinus de Ratisbona claims some involvement with the editorial process for the Dialogue of Ockham and his Sententiae: ‘Nam alias Dialogum Ockham in eum statum, quo est, redegi, Sententias eciam eiusdem correxi nesciens, quando imprimetur, eciam pro eodem, qui Dialogum impressit'; this statement must refer to editions by Trechsel, as stated by Hartman, the editor of the Amerbachkorrespondenz; it is uncertain if the Dialogus refers to this edition or to G‑314 or to both; the Sententiae are G‑317. See also Badius's letter to Marcus Alexandreus de Benevento in H‑129.
