Note 30 — Chapter I · BIRTHPLACE AND EARLY STUDIES OF MICHAEL SCOT
Reading edition
The MS. of Scot’s Physionomia in the Vatican Library (Fondo della Regina di Svezia 1151, saec. xvi?) has joined to it some extravagant lines in praise of the Parisian schools, where the writer compares them to Paradise. There is no reason to suppose Scot wrote these verses, but they fully support the statement made in the text.
