Scope and Content Note
The Aristotle mss., ca. 1603-1704, consists of commentaries on the works of
Aristotle. At least half of the volumes concentrate on logic, but other subjects are
covered as well, including physics and general philosophy.
A majority of the manuscripts that have identified authors were written by Jesuits:
Maur Altomar, Pierre Baron, Jakob Bidermann, Christoph Brandis, Jean de Horion,
Nicolas Mohr, Francois Noghera, Jean-Baptiste Weiss, and Joseph Zwinger. A few were
written by Benedictines: Ludwig Babenstuber, Simon Fürbas, and Maurus Oberascher.
The other authors are Nicolas Chaumorat, Henrich Drophuysen, Andreas Guetmair,
Bernhard Ruedorffer, and Eustach Strenzi. Fourteen of the manuscripts do not have
named authors.
The commentaries are in Latin, and on occasion include sketches or diagrams. The
Baron volume contains a number of portraits, including St. Augustine and Aristotle
himself. Each of the two Oberascher volumes contains a copy of the same printed
commentary, although the manuscripts themselves are not identical. The manuscript
Logica Actualis... (#165) contains not only
sketches, but also a Philosophical Family Tree. Another volume,
In Universam Aristotelis Logicam (#96) has two
unidentified red seals on the verso of one of its final pages.
