Les manuscrits conservés à Paris des Quaestiones super libros Sententiarum de Robert Holkot
The Manuscripts Preserved in Paris of Robert Holkot’s Commentary on The Sentences

Summary/Abstract: This paper describes the content of the seven manuscripts of Robert Holkot’s Commentary on the Sentences preserved in Paris : BnF, lat. 14576 (olim S. Victor ; a. 1389) ; 15884 (olim Sorbonne) ; 16399 (olim Sorbonne, 1374 emptus) ; Bibl. Mazarine 905 (olim Paris, OP Sancti Jacobi) and 906 ; BnF, latin 3115 and 3087. It reveals several hereto-unknown witnesses of the dubium de obiecto credendi and of the Sex Articuli. The “dubium” De obiecto credendi, shorter than the developed “Prologus” edited by O. Grassi in 1994, is present in two manuscripts : Paris, BnF, lat. 14576 (unknown of Grassi) and 15884. The Sex Articuli are copied after the question de iteratione confessionis and aggregated to it in five manuscripts (Mazarine 905 and 906 ; BnF lat. 14576, 15884 and 16399). BnF, lat. 3087 stops at the explicit level of the question de iteratione confessionis and can be considered as incomplete. In BnF, lat. 3115, the Sex articuli are copied at the very end of the commentary. F. Hoffmann’s edition of the Sex articuli (1993) does not exhibit knowledge of any of these new witnesses. The numbering of the questions in the margins of the tabula of manuscript BnF, lat. 15884 reflects an order that does not appear in any manuscript described here, placing book III before book IV and de beatitudine at the end of the corpus.
