CANONICUS, Johannes. Quaestiones super Physica Aristotelis. Venice, Octavianus Scotus, 1481 Folio. 298x205 mm. Hard vellum binding, modern guard sheets. Papers 107 unnumbered. Marks: a10 b-l8 m6 n8 o4. Missing blank c. a1. Title on paper a2 "Ioannis Canonici doctoris clarissimi ordi. minorum super octo libros physicorum questiones incipiunt". Colophon on c. n8 "... finem imposuit Octauianus Scotus de Modoetia, 1481." In the Colophon "... cura ... Francisci de benzonibus ... in conuentu Uenetiarum." Text in two columns. 59 lines and running titles, Gothic typeface. Marginalia of coeval hand. Skillful restoration on upper corner of first two papers, two small woodworm holes at beginning, a few faint traces of use, nice copy. Very rare Venetian edition, edited by Francesco Benzoni. Very important work: the commentary of Canonicus on Aristotle's Physics was a highly regarded text on natural philosophy. This fact is confirmed by the presence in this copy of timely marginal notes by a coeval hand, certainly by an erudite scholar of the subject. Little is known about the biography of John Canon, an English Franciscan who studied at Oxford and Paris, where he lectured in 1329. He was a direct pupil of Duns Scotus. The present edition was edited by Crema monk Francesco Benzoni, whose commentary on Aristotle's logic by Paul Venetian, published in 1477, we also know.

Skillful restoration on the upper corner of the first two leaves, small worm holes at the beginning, some slight signs of wear, good copy. Very rare Venetian edition, edited by Francesco Benzoni.
