Thus as early as 1215* * * § the students of Paris University are 
commanded to read the books of Aristotle on Logic,—both the 
“ Vetus ” and the “ Nova Logica.” 
In 1309 we find, among the Statuta Collegii Cluniacensis, a 
statute concerning scholars studying philosophy, in which students 
are told to work at—first the Summulm in the college; then the 
Vetus Logica; and lastly the Nova Logica, either in the college 
or outside.f This passage is important, because it shows that the 
Summulse are not part of the Nova Logica; elsewhere Summulists 
are distinguished from Logicos. 
In 1366, at the reformation of the Faculty of Arts, it is ordained 
that students attending lectures in this faculty read the whole of 
the vetus ars , four books of the Topics and the books of the 
Elenchi, the Prior or the Posterior Analytics completely, and the 
hooks De Anima in whole or in part.| 
In the munimenta of the University of Oxford, published by the 
Master of the Rolls, we have many references to the vetus and 
nova logica; and in all cases the reference is evidently to books of 
Aristotle’s Organon.§ 
Thus Artistas are told, in 1340, that, before they can “incept” 
in arts, they must first have sworn that they have read two logical 
books at least, one of the vetus logica, and the other of the 
nova.|j 
In the munimenta of the University of Glasgow, of the date 
1460, or thereabout, we find it enacted in the regulations about 
reading in logic—“ Ordinaria vero audienda sunt hsec ; primus sc. 
in Veteri Arte liber universalium Porphyrii, liber Predicamentorum 
Aristotelis, duo libri Peri Hermeneias ejusdem. In Nova Logica 
duo libri priorum, duo posteriorum, quatuor ad minus Topicorum, 
sc. primus, secundus, sextus, et octavus, et duo elenchorum. . . . 
Item audiantur libri extraordinarii ... in logica textus Petrus
