Reading edition
Origine de l’Imprimerie de Paris, Paris, 1694, 4to, p. 110. Chevillier gives a curious instance of this tendency of the old printers to contract their words. The example is taken from La Logique d’Okam, 1488, fol., a work in which there scarcely occurs a single word not abbreviated. “Si hic ẽ fa m d ad simpr a ẽ ducibile a Deo a ẽ & sir hic a ẽ a ẽ ducibile a Do,”-which means: “Sicut hic est fallacia secundum quid ad simpliciter; A est producibile a Deo; ergo A est. Et similiter hic. A non est; ergo A non est producibile a Deo.”
