Submitted! (Actually the second article. I did not take the trouble of informing you the first time)

The moment you've all been waiting for over the last eleven months: here is the yearly update of the Supplementa tertia to the printed Aristoteles Latinus Codices volumes. Creeping up to 100 pages, more than 660 items, and plenty of hyperlinks! License CC-BY 4.0! doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

The same MS of Aristotle's Topics, with plenty of annotations, apparently ended up in a bookbinder's workshop. Plenty of bifolia were reused as pastedowns. (@ubleipzig.bsky.social, MS 376) resolver.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/HSP000518E90...

A leaf from Aristotle's Topics used in a binding. No contemporary notes but a bit of doodling going on in the margins. (@unierfurt.bsky.social, UB, CA 4° 141) nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:u...

Leaf from Aristotle's Categories used as pastedown. Probably taken from the same MS as the previous post. (@jlugiessen.bsky.social, Hs 54) nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:h...

Aristotelian waste lining the covers of this MS: the front pastedown was taken from a commentary on the Physics (beginning of the text, apparently incomplete); back is from the Categories (@jlugiessen.bsky.social, Hs 53) nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:h...

I am finalizing the yearly update of my Supplementa of Aristoteles Latinus Codices. If you know (or own) manuscripts or fragments of Latin Aristotle texts that were not included before, now is the time to drop me a line!

Leaves from an 11th-century sacramentary, preserved for us as pastedowns (Alençon, BM, 16) arca.irht.cnrs.fr/ark:/63955/m...

Sometimes philosophers really dislike the conclusions of certain arguments by reductio & rebrand them as 'paradoxes,' but sometimes they simply do not. Why is this? Find out in Boaz Schuman's recent 📃, which recovers the logical works of Al-Fārābī 👇 www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1... #philsky #HPS

Al-Fārābī and Quine on reductio and paradox

If you dislike the conclusion of an argument by reductio, you can rebrand it as a paradox. We did this with Zeno, and more recently McTaggart. But what – if anything – is the principle at play? Is ...

The description of these pastedowns suggests that the text is Aristotle, but it is actually from the Liber sex principiorum, a treatise that is often added to the Categories in MSS of the logica vetus (@unierfurt.bsky.social, Dep.

Better yet: stop publishing scholarly journals w/ commercial publishers! One issue is prob the editorial assumption that one has no power. Someone else founded a journal yrs ago. You took over editorship. Ask to see a contract! Talk to your predecessor! Ask: Why are we here? You don’t have to be!

Shannon Mattern@shannonmattern.bsky.social · last mo.

Just saw an intriguing new article about digital enclosure, planned obsolescence, and extractive big tech… in a Springer journal. Please, academics, stop publishing in journals controlled by commercial publishers that embody the worst of Silicon Valley! Think abt the means of knowledge production!
