This book completes the edition of James of Viterbo’s works with the publication of the five ‘Quaestiones de divinis praedicamentis’ that never appeared in print before. Questions 28 and 29 constitute the final part of the original version of the work, whereas questions 30-32, on the will, were later incorporated into the work. Mark Gossiaux and Christopher Schabel have done an excellent job in establishing the text and making the remaining part of James’s main scholastic works available to the scholarly community.
