13. Another lacuna in the introduction is the absence of any discussion of the indirect tradition. In particular, the Questio disputata de spiritualibus creaturis by the Thomist Bernardus de Trilia (cf. P. SCHULTHESS und R. IMBACH, Die Philosophie im lateinischen Mittelalter, Zürich/Düsseldorf 1996, p. 397) would have been worth examining

16. In French, it is possible to speak of an «adage scolastique», but even then the substantive primarily denotes a «vérité d'expérience ou principe d'action» ; cf. P. IMBS, Trésor de la langue française. Dictionnaire de la langue du XIXe et XXe siècle, tome 1, Paris 1971, p. 630
17. - Theorems such as «Causa est potior effectu» are certainly not «adagia» (122, 401)
