Marianus de Florentia, Compendium Chronicarum Fratrum Minorum (Archivum Franciscanum Historicum 2 [1909], p. 631)
"Item eodem anno 1308, in conventu Coloniensi Agrippine, Germanie Superioris excessit frater Iohannes de Donis, theologus magnus et eximius doctor, ubi honorifice sepultus, in magna veneratione habitus est. Hic natione de Scotia fuit, qui ab Universitate Parisiensi inter ceteros doctores Doctor Subtilis appellatur. Fuit enim toti seculo stupendus, quia ita in scribendo et disputando fuit acutissimus, ut a nullo suo tempore vinci poterat. Scripsit duo egregia et diversa scripta super Magistrum Sententiarum, quorum primum Oxoniense, alterum vero Parisiense appellatur. Scripsit etiam super omnes ferme Aristotilis libros, presertim super Methaphisicam. Item, super 4or Evangelistas. Item, super Epistolas Pauli. Item, super Genesim ad literam. Item, sermones tam de tempore quam etiam de Sanctis, per totius anni circulum. Item, Quodlibeta aliqua. Item, Tractatum de Primo rerum Prinnipio. Item, Collationes Parisienses. Item, Tetragreumatha quedam"

Do you have the book of the beatification cause of Duns Scotus? Tt contains the most ancient biographies about Duns Scotus?
Could I also ask you, according to your experience, if you think that the Theoremata have been written at the beginning or at the end of his career?
Professor Costantino Marmo said me that he has found an inedit "Notabilia" of Scotus on Metaphysics. Interesting, isn't it?

I don't have the book; is it the Roberto Zavalloni one?
I haven't read the Theoremata yet; I suppose it would depend on whether one thought part of it was the "credibilia' section mentioned in the De primo principio or not. I tend to think that the DPP was later, at least after sections of the Ordinatio. It could have been begun at either Oxford or Paris, then left unfinished.
I hope Marmo tells Giorgio Pini, who found one also in the Ambrosiana library. Pini has an article in the BPM and another one in an Italian journal.
