Publisher's Synopsis

Paul of Venice's "Logica Magna" is a valued repository for 14th-century logical theories. In his treatise on necessity and contingency, Paul gathers together a wide range of arguments on the question of whether the future is already determined (specifically, whether the proposition that the Antichrist will come into existence is necessarily true). This edition and translation makes available a text which should be of considerable interest to philosophers, theologians and historians of logic.
