What it is
A commentary on the Sentences of extraordinary subtlety, arguing the univocity of being, the primacy of the will, and that Christ would have become incarnate even without the fall.
Why it lasted
The most technically demanding theology of the Middle Ages, and the origin of a Franciscan school that ran against Thomism for four centuries.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
