Abstract
The medieval doctrine of the transcendentals has been the topic of several major studies at least since the early 1990s, up to the present day. One of the aspects which still hasn’t been much studied – at the exclusion of the works of De Libera (1994), Ventimiglia (1995, 1997) Jacobi (2003), de Rijk (2003), Valente (2007) – is the relationship between the doctrine of the transcendentals and medieval logic.
