This handbook presents an exposition and defense of late medieval logic, authored by Paulus Venetus (1370-1429) after his studies in Oxford and Paris. It was widely copied, with over 80 manuscripts and more than 25 editions, becoming the leading textbook of its time and establishing Venetus as a key figure in bringing the "Oxonian dialect" to Italy. Its influence reached beyond Scholasticism, impacting humanists like Lorenzo Valla and Marsilio Ficino, and was referenced by Thomas More as the "Little Logicals." Juan Luis Vives explicitly cited it in his critiques of Scholasticism. The work is structured into eight chapters: the first six cover terms, supposition, inference, proof, obligations, and insolubles, outlining the rules of medieval logic and dialectic. The final two chapters critically engage with these doctrines, providing both attacks and defenses. This text exemplifies late medieval approaches to logical form, addressing syntactical, semantical, and pragmatic dimensions. The introductory study highlights its relevance to contemporary discussions in rational grammar and logical form theory. It is of interest to logicians, linguists, philosophers, theologians, and scholars in medieval and Renaissance studies.
