ABSTRACT

The origins of the Cursus are more confused than obscure. Underneath the somewhat dry philosophical prose, a historical stratification bares different events whose subjects alternately may change or intersect, often merging, making almost undecipherable “what” and “who” are behind the edition of a renowned textbook from the whole corpus Aristotelicum, signed for the first time by an entire college, and proudly presented as a prominent product of Jesuit culture.
