• Title page of pamphlet: Disputatio philosophica de universali logico, in alma et Catholica Ingolstadiensi Academia publice proposita, die 17 Decembr. Anno M. DC. VIII. Praeside Christophoro Steborio, Societatis Iesu, philosophiæ professore ordinario. Respondente reverendo et erudito domino Paulo Mayer Miespachensi, physicæ studioso, & ad S.

• The commentary's progression through an introduction and the treatises comprising most of the Logic (Categoriae, De interpretatione, De priore resolutione, and De posteriori analysi) is interrupted by a consideration of the Isagoge of Porphyry, an introduction to the Categoriae, which is inserted before that treatise.
