'Commentarij in libros Aristotelis de Generatione' and 'Commentarij in libros Aristotelis de Anima'
- Fol. iv. 'Commentarij in libros Aristotelis de Generatione [& Corruptione] & Anima, a patre Petro Alurez Societatis Iesu: anno . 1594': pref. beg. 'De materia huic operi': for the De Anima, see art. 2
- Fol. 88. 'Commentarij in libros Aristotelis de Anima' by the same: pref. beg. 'Disputat his libris Aristoteles': but something seems to be wanting after fol. 96, and the commentary does not touch the 3rd book, except in a note at fol. 137
Fols. i-ii are a fragment from English accounts of the repairs of a royal palace, apparently in Henry viii's time. Fols. 146-7 are a fragment from a 15th cent. Latin moral treatise on happiness, etc.
