Abstract

256 Valla's Dialectic in the North 2: Further Commentaries P. MACK A few years ago I wrote an article for this Journal about the knowledge and understanding of Lorenzo Valla's Dialecticae disputa- tiones which Gerardus Listrius showed in his commentary (1520) on Peter of Spain. I found that although Listrius reported many of Valla's philosophical innovations he tended not to support them. On usage and on matters of argumentative technique, on the other hand, he quite often endorsed Valla's views.' This article will consider the reception of Valla's doctrines in five other sixteenth century commen- taries on dialectical texts, with the aim of correcting and extending the conclusions of the previous article. It goes without saying that most of the humanist dialectic commentaries I have seen over the last few years make no reference at all to Valla or to his opinions. Since the submission of my earlier article several new studies of Valla's dialectic have appeared.
