Handwritten course in Latin probably given in a Jesuit college (the patronage of St. Louis de Gonzague is repeated many times), in the first half of the 18th century. The manuscript is part of the tradition of Aristotelian and Thomistic philosophy which was taught in seminaries and theological faculties in the form of a Compendium mixing physics and metaphysics. The first volume is devoted to metaphysics and logic, including the schemata of Aristotelian categories. The second volume, devoted to physics, is divided into four treatises (on the senses, bodies, movement, gravity) and finally a chapter on meteors.
