ON THE COMPOSITION OF PEDRO JUAN NÚÑEZ’S COMMENTARY ON ARISTOTLE’S <em>POETICS</em>

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine some issues concerning the composition of the Valencian humanist Pedro Juan Núñez’s Annotations per a entendre alguna cosa de l’arte poètica de Aristòtil, preserved in folios 127v and 134r of miscellaneous manuscript number 69 of the Sant Cugat collection. They consist of very simple lecture notes on various Aristotle works, taken at the University of Barcelona by some of his students in around 1574 or shortly after, when he held the Chair of Greek in 1575.
