Bos and Read present here two medieval treatises on concepts. These
treatises were first unearthed by one of the editors in the course
of a different project, namely the search for the origins of the
notion of 'suppositio collectiva'. They appear to have attracted no
attention since the middle of the fifteenth century. These are two
of only three medieval treatises known to the editors explicitly
devoted to discussion of concepts. That is not to deny that other
works treat extensively of concepts among other matters. In the
late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries it became increasingly
common to devote single treatises to single matters-supposition,
consequences, exponibles, obligations and so on. A more famous
treatise on concepts is Peter of Ailly's Concepts, given a modern
translation by Paul Spade. Peter's treatise was written in Paris in
the early 1370s, and printed there and in Lyon several times in the
1490s. Thomas of Cleves' treatise was also written in Paris in the
early 1370's, and that of Paul of Gelria some ten years later, if
not in Paris then in Prague. Neither has been printed before. To
preface the edition of the two texts, the editors provide an
introduction discussing the origin of medieval conceptions of
concepts and commenting in detail on the content of the two
treatises. They also provide some biographical information on the
authors and attempt to date and place their texts.
