1. This paper would not have been written if it were not for the insightful work of
Sten Ebbesen in this scholarly field. Moreover, this paper would not have had its present
form if it were not again for Sten Ebbesen’s invaluable comments on an earlier draft. For
these reasons I would like to thank him wholeheartedly.
2. On Gennadios’ life and works see generally F. TINNEFELD, “Georgios Gennadios
Scholarios”, in: C.G. CONTICELLO and V. CONTICELLO (eds.), La théologie byzantine et sa
tradition, II (XIIIe-XIXe s.), Turnhout 2002, pp. 477-549 (with rich bibliography and an
annotated list of Gennadios’ works).
3. S. EBBESEN and J. PINBORG, “Gennadios and Western Scholasticism: Radulphus
Brito’s Ars vetus in Greek Translation”, in: Classica et Mediaevalia 33 (1981-82), pp. 263-
319.
4. On Radulphus Brito, see recently W.J. COURTENAY, “Radulphus Brito, Master of
Arts and Theology”, in: Cahiers de l’Institut du Moyen-Âge Grec et Latin 76 (2005),
pp. 131-158. His works will be listed in a forthcoming fascicle of Olga WEIJERS’ Le travail
intellectuel à la Faculté des arts de Paris: textes et maîtres (ca. 1200-1500), Studia Artis-
tarum, Brepols: Turnhout. Among them are question commentaries on the whole of the
Organon, Metaphysics and Nicomachean Ethics. For a list of his questions on the Organon,
cf. J. PINBORG, “Die Logik der Modistae”, in: Studia Mediewistyczne 16 (1975), pp. 39-97;
rp. in J. PINBORG, Medieval Semantics. Selected Studies on Medieval Logic and Grammar,
ed. S. EBBESEN, London 1984. Radulphus Brito’s Quaestiones super Artem Veterem were
first printed in Venice ca. 1499, but there is no critical edition of the entire text.
11. Oeuvres complètes de Gennade Scholarios, vol. VIII, pp. 255-282, 283-337, and
338-350. It is now accepted that Gilbert did not author the Liber de sex principiis: see
L.O. NIELSEN, Theology and Philosophy in the Twelfth Century. A Study of Gilbert Porreta’s
Thinking and the Theological Expositions of the Doctrine of the Incarnation during the Period
1130-1180, Leiden 1982, p. 45. The three Latin treatises have now been critically edited:
PSEUDO-AQUINAS, De fallaciis ad quosdam nobiles artistas, ed. by R. MANDONNET and P. PETRI,
in S. Thomae Aquinatis Opuscula Omnia, vol. 4, Paris 1927, pp. 508-534; PETER OF SPAIN,
Tractatus, called afterwards Summulae logicales, ed. by L.M. DE RIJK, Assen 1972; Liber
de sex principiis, ed. by L. MINIO-PALUELLO (Aristoteles Latinus, 1/7), Paris 1966.
12. Though in his prefatory letter Gennadios does not refer to any of his Western
sources in particular, in the main text of his logical commentaries we find scattered refer-
ences to Boethius, Aquinas, (pseudo-) Gilbert de la Porrée, Albert the Great and once to
Radulphus Brito.

14. It is interesting to note that Gennadios includes Philoponus in the same list
together with Magentenos and Psellos and not among the ancient commentators.

18. Bembo’s translation is to be found in the late fifteenth-century manuscript BAV,
Vat. lat. 4560, which also includes an anonymous Latin translation of Psellos’ and Magen-
tenos’ comments on some of the Organon treatises. Cf. JUGIE, Oeuvres complètes de
Gennade Scholarios, vol. VII, p. III, n. 1; EBBESEN-PINBORG, “Gennadios and Western
Scholasticism”, pp. 314-317.
19. Cf. JUGIE, Oeuvres complètes de Gennade Scholarios, vol. VII, p. IV.

23. I am indebted to John Demetracopoulos for providing me with the list of Schol-
arios’ passages that are translations from Aquinas’ commentary on the De interpretatione.
A brief version of this list will be included in his lemma on Gennadios for the forthcom-
ing Ueberweg volume on Byzantine philosophy, edited by G. KAPRIEV. On Scholarios and
Aquinas, see J.A. DEMETRACOPOULOS, “Georgios Gennadios II - Scholarios’ Florilegium
Thomisticum. His Early Abridgment of Various Chapters and Quaestiones of Thomas
Aquinas’ Summae and His Anti-Plethonism”, in: Recherches de théologie et philosophie
médiévales 69/1 (2002), pp. 117-171, and IDEM, “Georgios Gennadios II - Scholarios’
Florilegium Thomisticum II (De fato) and Its Anti-Plethonic Tenor”, in: Recherches de
théologie et philosophie médiévales 74/2 (2007), pp. 301-376.
