Abstract
Sten Ebbesen’s discovery of a large fragment of a Latin commentary on Aristotle’s Prior Analytics in MS Orleans Bibliotheque Municipale 283 (twelfth century) is one of the most important findings for the study of the reception of Aristotelian syllogistic theory. One thirteenth-century work highly relevant for a first comparative analysis of Anonymus Aurelianensis III and the later Latin tradition is Robert Kilwardby’s commentary from ca. 1240, which until the discovery of Anonymus Aurelianensis III was considered to be the earliest extant Latin commentary on the Prior Analytics. A systematic comparative analysis of both works will have to wait until critical editions of both works appear, but important research on Kilwardby’s commentary has lately been carried out by Paul Thom and enables some preliminary observations. Keywords:Anonymus Aurelianensis III; Aristotelian syllogistic theory; Aristotle; Prior Analytics ; Robert Kilwardby
