| description |
This article, in the form of a chronicle, focuses on two unpublished didascalic texts from the milieu of the thirteenth-century Faculty of Arts, presumably that of the University of Paris. Although these texts are anonymous, in the current state of research, they are clearly important for the study of medieval logic and grammar, if not in terms of the theoretical development of these disciplines, at least in terms of the practical development of their teaching. We have named these two texts after their incipit, respectively: Testante Aristotele (logic) and Circa communes passiones (grammar). Testante Aristotele was previously known only through a description provided by Lambert Marie de Rijk, based on an Erlangen manuscript: three other witnesses have now been discovered (one from Salamanca by René Létourneau, two by us, one from Pesaro and one from Prague). Circa communes passiones was totally unknown until its discovery by René Létourneau, in 2014, in the Salamanca manuscript: we add here our identification of two other manuscripts, those of Erlangen and Prague, which means, notably, that in three out of four manuscripts Testante Aristotele and Circa communes passiones constitute a textual duo. Testante Aristotele, the treatise on which we place most emphasis and which is structured around ten theses, is presented under the aegis of Aristotle’s Sophistic Refutations, and could just as easily be characterized as belonging to the sophistic genre (in fact antisophistic) than sophismatic (the Prague manuscript calls it Decem sophismata), not to mention its link, explained in the article, with the literary genre De modo opponendi et respondendi. In this respect, among others, we suggest that Testante Aristotele and Circa communes passiones may testify to a fourth, ‘exercitative’ or ‘gymnastic’ function, of didascalic texts (in addition to the theoretical, practical and ideological functions already suggested by our earlier work). We are currently preparing a critical edition and French translation of Testante Aristotele and Circa communes passiones. |

Este artículo, en forma de crónica, trata de dos textos didascálicos inéditos procedentes del entorno de la Facultad de Artes en el siglo XIII, probablemente la de la Universidad de París. Aunque estos textos son anónimos, en el estado actual de la investigación, son claramente importantes para el estudio de la lógica y la gramática medievales, si no para el desarrollo teórico de estas disciplinas, al menos para el desarrollo práctico de su enseñanza. Hemos bautizado estos dos textos usando su incipit, respectivamente: Testante Aristotele (lógica) y Circa communes passiones (gramática). Testante Aristotele se conocía hasta ahora únicamemente por una descripción de Lambert Marie de Rijk, basada en un manuscrito de Erlangen: se han descubierto otros tres testimonios (uno de Salamanca por René Létourneau, dos nuestros, uno de Pesaro y otro de Praga). Circa communes passiones era completamente desconocida hasta su descubrimiento por René Létourneau, en 2014, en el manuscrito de Salamanca: añadimos aquí nuestra identificación de otros dos manuscritos, los de Erlangen y Praga, lo que significa, notablemente, que en tres de los cuatro manuscritos Testante Aristotele y Circa communes passiones forman un dúo textual. Testante Aristotele, el tratado en el que hacemos más hincapié y que está estructurado en torno a diez tesis, se presenta bajo la égida de las Refutaciones sofísticas de Aristóteles y podría caracterizarse con igual facilidad como perteneciente al género sofístico (de hecho antisofístico) como al sofismático (el manuscrito de Praga lo denomina Decem sophismata), por no mencionar su vinculación, explicada en el artículo, con el género literario De modo opponendi et respondendi. Desde este aspecto, entre otros, sugerimos que Testante Aristotele y Circa communes passiones podrían atestiguar una cuarta función, ‘ejercitativa’ o ‘gimnástica’, de los textos didascálicos (además de las funciones teórica, práctica e ideológica ya sugeridas por nuestro trabajo anterior). Actualmente estamos preparando una edición crítica y una traducción al francés de Testante Aristotele y Circa communes passiones.
