The Richard Rufus of Cornwall Project

Preparing Critical Editions of Rufus' Extant Works

Supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities

Notae (Notes)

Numbered marginal notes provide information on Rufus’s sources in Aristotle, Averroes, and elsewhere, his subsequent influence, and other parallel texts that may shed light on his commentary, as well as references to and quotations from his reuse and adaptation of some sections of the Memoriale in his longer Metaphysics commentary. Editorial suggestions on problematic passages where we have not felt justified in emending can also be found here.

Where the notes include extensive quotations, these do not appear on the page unless the reader clicks on them. Clicking once on a highlighted ellipsis will reveal the material that has been omitted; clicking again on the revealed material will conceal it.

Below is a key to the abbreviations found in the notes, followed by the full bibliographical references for ancient and medieval works cited in shortened form.
