Scope and content
R's friend Schofield has recently purchased a manuscript of a Latin translation of Aristotle with colophon dated 1281. Sandys refers to a nova translatio by Henry Kosbein of this date and R asks what MS he was referring to. Doubts whether Kosbein is the translator. Readings of the vetus translatio given in Susemichl's edition of the Ethics agree with Schofield's MS. Asks for advice on thirteenth century translations of Aristotle. With Sandys' pencil notes on the final page.
