Buch IX: nach 1292 "The 'Questions on the Metaphysics' have traditionally been dated early, a tradition that the Vatican editors follow [ed. Vaticana, XIX, 41*-42*], but the editors of the critical edition argue that no single dating is possible for the entire work: 'we suggest that these questions were composed and revised over an extended period of time and that certain questions stem from a period late in Scotus's career.' [Duns Scotus (1997), I, xlii]. Indeed, detailed textual analysis by Dumont [cf. Dumont (1996)], Noone [cf. Noone (1995)], and the editors themselves strongly suggests that Books 7 through 9 date in their present form to late in Scotus's career; Wolter notes that Book 7 must date between Book 2 of the 'Ordinatio' and Book 2 of the 'Reportatio' [Wolter (1996) 52]. On the other hand, Richard Cross argues that Book 5 of the 'Questions on the Metaphysics' must predate the 'Lectura', and therefore that the firs five books should all be dated before 1300 [cf. Cross (1998) 245-246]" [Williams (2003) 8]. "tough the original work seems to antedate the 'Lectura' it apparently was revised, perhaps more than once, during Scotus's academic career, and it was left incomplete at the time of his death like the 'Ordinatio' and the 'Quodlibet'. Only the Books I-IX as found in the Wadding edition are authentic. Some questions seem to antedate the 'Lectura II' whereas others quote the 'Ordinatio' or even the 'De primo principio', which, as Balic has shown, depends on Book I, dist. 2 of the 'Ordinatio'" [Wolter (1993), 35-36]. |

Ed.: OPh III-IV. "The editors of the critical edition say that 'this work of the Subtle Doctor has come down to us in a disorderly state' [Duns Scotus (1997) I, xxxiii], with questions ordered differently in different manuscripts, single manuscripts in multiple hands, questions transcribed more than once in a single manuscript, and the ordering of paragraphs within questions varying from one manuscript to another. Nevertheless they say, 'the meaning of the text which has come down to us is rarely compromised [Duns Scotus (1997) I, xxxvii]'" [Williams (2003) 8]. "Only the Books I-IX as found in the Wadding edition are authentic" [Wolter (1993), 36]. "Scotus also wrote an 'Expositio' on Aristotle's 'Metaphysics', which is now lost. The 'Expositio super libros Metaphysicorum Aristotelis' printed as Scotus's in the Wadding edition is the work of Antonius Andreas" [Williams (2003) 9]. In der Edition Wagging-Vivès sind nur die Bücher I bis IX der "Quaestiones super libros Metaphysicae" echt, die anderen Bücher sind aber unecht [vgl. Ed. Wadding, Opera omnia, Lyon 1639, IV, 805-848]. Die Quaestiones "erscheinen in ihrer handschriftlichen Überlieferung zunächst ungeordnet, so was sich darauf zurückführen läßt, daß D. S. das Werk einer umfänglichen Revision zu unterziehen begann, diese jedoch aufgrund seines unerwartet frühen Todes nicht vollenden konnte. Die einzelnen Bücher sind zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten entstanden, und es scheint ihnen ein von D. S. erstellter Literalkommentar zur Aristotelischen 'Metaphysik' vorausgegangen zu sein." [Dreyer (1999), 415]. Selbstverweise: Met. V q. 11 nr. 109 → Theor. p. 11 n. 2: Met. IX q. 11 n. 11 → Theor. p. 6 n.1; aber weder in der Lectura noch in der Ordinatio ein Verweis. |
