Summary

"The Supposed Autographa of John the Scot" by Edward Kennard Rand is a study that questions whether notes in manuscripts of "De Divisione Naturae" were really written by John the Scot himself. It's like a detective story where Rand looks at old handwriting in different copies found in places such as Reims and Bamberg. He points out that many people might have been involved in writing and fixing these texts. Although discovering the real John the Scot's handwriting may be impossible, Rand shows how these edits help us understand how his ideas changed and what people who study his work should consider.
