| Sumario: | This second and last part that deals with the Chapter I of John Scotus’ Vox spiritualis rejects the correction of F. Ravaisson, who reported the words “cum post deum sint … nonexcedant” as “things which are”. We do so by comparing this Homily with two parallel texts from the Peryphyseon, which allows us to re-examine the order in which I, 8-12 should be read. Then, in second place, we present a classification of the principal propositions of John Scotus concerning the phrase: “quae sunt et quae non sunt”. These propositions are compared with similar statements in the Ad Candidum of Marius Victorinus, an important and understudied source of Eriugena’s thought. We then consider lines I, 14-16, focusing on the identification of “things which are not” with the primordial causes and on the meaning of the verb “superuehitur”. The conclusion of the article highlights the interest of a quotation from Nicholas of Cues for the establishment of the text of the Vox spiritualis. An Appendix Note points out the presence, not yet noted, of a fragment of the Homily among the glosses of the manuscript of the Adversus Arium, and suggests the probability of an influence of Victorinus on the Trinitarian terminology of John Scotus.
