Sommario/riassunto

This volume presents a complete English translation of 'On the Purity of the Art of Logic', a handbook of logic written in Latin by English philosopher Walter Burley (c.1275-1344/5). The work circulated in the Middle Ages in two versions, a shorter and a longer one, and are both translated here. The translations are based on the only complete edition of Burley's treatises, corrected here on the basis of one of the



surviving manuscripts.
