Several Italian scholars have put together an anthology of texts, available for free here. It has the original language plus Italian translations and introductions to the texts. but they are all important, from Aristotle, the Greek commentators on Aristotle, Avicenna and Averroes, Aquinas, Scotus, Eckhart and Cajetan. The volum jumpts from Eckhart to Cajetan, omitting the author who wrote the most about analogy, in the middle ages, at least, Petrus Thomae. An odd omission, since there was a section in the companion volume on Peter Thomae by Porro. Also, Alexander of Alexandria has a fair bit on analogy in his commentary on the Metaphysics. But enjoy what we have.

It's interesting also that no attention is given to Albertus Magnus nor to Henry of Ghent. Albertus is important for Thomas's early thinking on analogy as well as the German Dominicans' account of univocal causality (including Eckhart). Henry, as we know, serves as the foil against which Scotus develops his own doctrine of univocity. I guess there's always more that can be done...
Merry Christmas,
