I'm working on Hartmann's 1542 edition of Peckham's Perspectiva communis, and have just come across this lovely passage about Pirckheimer (Grafton 1998).

I angered the master by proposing a robust version of nominalism, for which I was sent home to rethink my life choices. 🫣

Oh wow! This is what happens when you're photographing MSS & don't capture the text in the inner gutter. 1st, here's the photograph (made about 100 yrs ago) of the Codex Salernitanus, f. 82ra. Although that big tear of the page is obvious, the inner gutter hasn't been fully captured in the photo.

Breslau Codex (Wrocław, Stadtbibliothek, MS 1302, s. xii ex./xiii in.), f. 82ra, showing tear in the page but only the very edge of the text in the inner gutter.

Yael Kedar and I have organized a reading group on #RogerBacon 's Communia mathematica. Next Friday, Aurélien Robert will guide us through the first distinctio of the text. Fear not the #Latin! Fear not the #mathematics! It's about time to take this bull (Bacon's Communia mathematica) by the horns!

Looking forward to the upcoming Lodz conference on medieval theories of sense perception! I'll present a joint paper with Aurora Panzica on 'Fifteenth-century Discussions on Light and Its Role in Visual Perception in the Cracow Commentaries on De anima and Perspectiva communis'.

Something special at Leeds: the surprise discovery of a Wyclif manuscript at Merton College, where he was a grad student in the 1350s! Gigi Campi can’t make it, so the other talks will be less compressed. Jordan Lavender’s will be about his discovery; mine will be more general. #IMC2025 #medievalSky

Session: 702

I'm thrilled to learn that my project on the manuscript dissemination of late medieval optics and the role of John Peckham's Perspectiva communis has received funding from the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR). Stay tuned for more updates! gacr.cz/en/czech-sci... #histsci
