February 19, 1724. Amalthéa Aristotelico-Scoticos


Franciscan John Constance Parnis of Malta finished his magnum opus, Amalthéa Aristotelico-Scoticos (A Compendium of Aristotelian-Scotist Philosophy).  

The handwritten work has never been transcribed or translated, although it has been read. The lack of transcription and translation means its never been fully studied.

Johnathan Swift, Letter to Miss Vanhomrigh, August 12, 1720.
