On offer is a superb, original handwritten c. 17th century Latin manuscript book titled "LOGICA". This 340 pp handwritten manuscript is in two [2] sections "SYNTAGMA PHILOSOPHICUM", consists of 80 pp followed by a blank page, then "TRACTATUS SECUNDUS DE UNIVERSALIBUS" being 260 handwritten pages. Research suggests this book was a commission to a scribe of o no small talents copying the famed philosophical work by Pierre Gassendi, [1592-1655] of the same title SYNTAGMA PHILOSOPHICUM which was posthumously published in 1658. Alternatively there is also a 14th century work by John Wyclif entitled DE LOGICA and who wrote a subsequent work entitled TRACTATUS DE UNIVERSALIBUS. Further study will certainly provide full answers to the work. This book is 6" x 8 3/8" bound in full period vellum. The first 40 pages have some light stains along left hand margins with the bottom corner of the first page chipped off with no loss of text, the vellum is a bit soiled, binding is fairly tight, so overall G+.; Latin; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF, REFERENCE, ETHNIC, HANDWRITTEN, HAND WRITTEN, MANUSCRIPT, SCRIBE, CALLIGRAPHY, DOCUMENT, antiquité, contrat, vélin, document, manuscrit, papier Antike, Brief, Pergament, Dokument, Manuskript, Papier oggetto d'antiquariato, atto, velina, documento, manoscritto, carta antigüedad, hecho, vitela, documento, manuscrito, papel , PHILOSOPHY, PHILOSOPHICAL, LOGIC,
