Thomas of Cantimpré’s Liber de natura rerum in Vincent of Beauvais’s Speculum maius: A Survey of the Quotations, with an Inquiry on the Version Used and Some Competing Sources
This article aims to outline the presence, in Vincent of Beauvais's Speculum maius, of the Liber de natura rerum composed by his predecessor, the encyclopaedist Thomas of Cantimpré; many quotations, introduced by the same marker of source, are actually identified as coming from Pseudo-John Folsham’s De natura rerum. Given the unreliability of their current editions, we go back to the manuscript tradition of both texts, in order to show that the Speculum relied on a revised version of the Liber, which was not the final one, and to offer some clues on the genesis of the Liber. - [Abstract]
