Two copies of the Latin commentary on the third part of the Summa Theologica of st. Thomas Aquinas, by Melchior Lobato(?), as explained by Antonius Gomesius, a doctor of the Portuguese university at Coimbra. MS. Bodl. 103 contains a prologue and Quaestiones 1-27, MS. Bodl. 104 a prologue and quaestiones 1-27, 31-3, 35-6, with some differences: the prologue beg. 'Cum uniuersa theologiæ uis in eo posita'. These are apparently independent notes of Gomesius's lectures at Coimbra, and MS. Bodl. 103 was copied out by 'Gaspar frater', who also wrote MS. Bodl. 105 and MS. Bodl. 498. Erased notes at fol. 261 of MS. Bodl. 103 give the name of Gomesius: the name of Lobato is at fol. 1 of the same volume.
