## Commentarius in Distinctionem XIV. ### De plenitudine scientiae, quam habuit anima Christi, specialiter.
Hic quaeri opus est, cum anima Christi etc.
DIVISIO TEXTUS.
Supra egit Magister de plenitudine gratiae et scientiae communiter, in hac vero parte agit de plenitudine scientiae specialiter. Dividitur autem pars ista in partes duas. In quarum prima ostendit, in Christo fuisse omnem scientiam secundum humanam naturam. In secunda vero inquirit, utrum anima Christi habuit omnipotentiam, sicut omnium scientiamp295-1, ibi: Si vero quaeritur, quare Deus non ei dederit potentiam etc.
Pars prima habet tres. In quarum prima proponit quaestionem de omniscientia animae Christi. In secunda vero ponit determinationem secundum aliorum aestimationem, ibi: Quibusdam placet, quod nec parem cum Deo. In tertia vero determinat secundum suam opinionem, ostendens, animam Christi habuisse omniscientiamp295-2, ibi: Quibus respondentes dicimus etc.
Similiter secunda pars principalis habet tres particulas. In quarum prima determinat Magister, quare anima Christi non habet omnipotentiam, sicut omniscientiam. In secunda vero opponit contra suam determinationem, ibi: Sed si anima illa non habet etc. In tertia vero dissolvit et solutionem suam multis quaestionibus adaptatp295-3, ibi: Ad quod dicimus, illud esse accipiendum etc.
TRACTATIO QUAESTIONUM.
Ad intelligentiam autem huius partis incidit hic quaestio circa tria. Primo enim quaeritur de scientia, quam anima Christi habuit de Verbo. Secundo vero de scientia, quam anima Christi habuit in Verbo. Tertio de scientia, quam anima Christi habuit a Verbo.
Circa primum quaeruntur tria. Primum est, utrum anima Christi aliam cognitionem habeat de Verbo, quam sit ipsum Verbum. Secundum est, utrum anima Christi in cognoscendo comprehendat Verbump295-4. Tertium est, utrum anima Christi defigat aspectum in ipsum lumen aeternum.

## Commentary on Distinction XIV. ### On the fullness of the knowledge which the soul of Christ had, specially considered.
Here there is need to inquire, since the soul of Christ, etc.
DIVISION OF THE TEXT.
Above the Master treated of the fullness of grace and knowledge in general; here, however, in this part he treats of the fullness of knowledge specially. Now this part is divided into two parts. In the first of these he shows that in Christ there was all knowledge according to the human nature. In the second he inquires whether the soul of Christ had omnipotence, just as it had the knowledge of all thingsp295-1, there: But if it be asked why God did not give to it the power, etc.
The first part has three [subdivisions]. In the first of these he sets forth the question concerning the omniscience of the soul of Christ. In the second he sets down the determination according to the estimation of others, there: It pleases some that it is not even equal with God. In the third he determines according to his own opinion, showing that the soul of Christ had omnisciencep295-2, there: Answering whom, we say, etc.
Likewise the second principal part has three particular [members]. In the first of these the Master determines why the soul of Christ does not have omnipotence, just as it has omniscience. In the second he objects against his own determination, there: But if that soul does not have, etc. In the third he resolves [the objection] and adapts his solution to many questionsp295-3, there: To which we say that that is to be understood, etc.
TREATMENT OF THE QUESTIONS.
For the understanding of this part there falls here a question concerning three matters. For, first, it is asked concerning the knowledge which the soul of Christ had of the Word. Second, concerning the knowledge which the soul of Christ had in the Word. Third, concerning the knowledge which the soul of Christ had from the Word.
Concerning the first, three things are inquired into. The first is, whether the soul of Christ has a knowledge of the Word other than the Word itself is. The second is, whether the soul of Christ, in knowing, comprehends the Wordp295-4. The third is, whether the soul of Christ fixes its gaze upon that eternal light itself.
