Disputationes in Metaphysicam.

Abstract:

Scholastic commentary on Aristotle, covering metaphysics, angels, God's existence and attributes, virtue, duties of men and women, and politics. The last page (f. 196r) contains a maxim: Si vis ad vitam ingredi serva mandata / parens deo libertas est / parens rationi iustitia est / parens mundo stultitia est / parens daemoni impietas est / parens cupiditatibus servitus est / omnium malorum pessimum. The second line of the maxim alludes to Seneca's statement, "parere deo libertas est."
