What it is

A textbook of logic covering the Aristotelian syllogism and then the medieval theory of how terms actually refer in a sentence.

Why it lasted

The standard logic textbook of Europe for three hundred years, running through hundreds of editions — and its author later became pope.

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.
