This manuscript course preserves scholastic philosophy as a living classroom practice. Questions, distinctions and formal arguments guide the reader through the structures of Aristotelian logic.

Dated 1693, it belongs to an educational culture in which disputation trained memory, rhetoric and disciplined reasoning. Its format suggests a text assembled for direct use by a teacher or student.

Its value lies in the material evidence of study: handwriting, corrections, organisation and handling reveal the daily mechanisms through which philosophy was learned.
