Lost Manuscript
Babel MS 16
Not enough is presently known from this manuscript to reconstruct precisely the text but it is a philosophical commentary, with a discussion of causation. The manuscript was a small working copy, probably from a university context, which, given the binding, we can localise to Oxford.
