Quamquam enim (2r) Subject 1 Mathematics Printed copies Lyon 1554 Additional remarks Consists of 2 questions. There is some doubt whether both or perhaps the last of these two questions should be ascribed to Buteus, for a lengthier reading of the second question goes on: "Quamquam enim haec disceptatio futuro Geometrae nullam offerat utilitatem (!), tamen sollicitos habet ... huius disciplinae amatores, cum scire deyderent, cui hoc beneficium sit adscribendum. Alii (ut Io. Buteo) demonstrationes Theoni asscribunt ... Buteo vero, negat hoc diserte et ueterem preclarissimi hominis laudem tuetur ..." Item no. 38.1 Folio no. 1r-2v Explicit (2v) id est esse demonstrationes Euclidis eo modo conscriptas, quo olim Theon, Euclidem sequutus, suis disciplulis explicaret.
