## COMMENTARIUS IN DISTINCTIONEM XXXV.
De dono sapientiae, intellectus et scientiae.
Post praemissa diligenter considerandum est etc.
DIVISIO TEXTUS.
Supra egit Magister de donis generaliter et de timore specialiter. In hac vero parte de aliis donis determinat satis breviter, maxime de donis, quae sunt ex parte cognitivae, scilicet de sapientia, intellectu et scientia, ostendens differentiam1 inter se et ad alia. Et ideo pars ista dividitur in partes duas. In quarum prima assignat differentiam inter dona tria praedicta. In secunda vero assignat differentiam ipsorum ad alia, quae non sunt dona, ibi: Et notandum, quod intellectus et scientia etc.
Prima pars dividitur in duas. In quarum prima assignat differentiam inter sapientiam et scientiam. In secunda vero assignat differentiam intellectus ad duo praedicta, ibi: Ostensa differentia inter sapientiam et scientiam.
Similiter secunda pars principalis dividitur in duas. In quarum prima assignat differentiam ipsius intellectus et scientiae, prout sunt dona, ad se ipsa, et2 prout sunt acquisita. In secunda vero assignat differentiam inter sapientiam-donum et Sapientiam increatam, ibi: Illud etiam sciendum est, quod sapientia, de qua disserimus etc. Divisiones vero partium satis manifestae sunt in littera.
TRACTATIO QUAESTIONUM.
Ad intelligentiam autem huius partis incidit hic quaestio circa sex, secundum quod sex dona sunt ultra donum timoris, licet Magister in littera3 non tangat nisi tria.
Primo quaeritur, quis sit actus, et quod4 obiectum proprium doni sapientiae.
Secundo, quis sit actus, et quod obiectum doni scientiae.
Tertio, quis sit actus, et quod obiectum doni intellectus.
Quarto, quis sit actus, et quod obiectum doni consilii.
Quinto, quis sit actus, et quod obiectum doni fortitudinis.
Sexto et ultimo, quis sit actus, et quod obiectum doni pietatis.
ARTICULUS UNICUS.
De ceteris sex donis Spiritus sancti in specie.

## COMMENTARY ON DISTINCTION XXXV.
On the gift of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.
After the foregoing it must be diligently considered, etc.
DIVISION OF THE TEXT.
Above, the Master treated of the gifts in general and of fear specifically. But in this part he determines concerning the other gifts rather briefly, chiefly concerning the gifts which are on the side of the cognitive [power], namely concerning wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, showing the difference1 among themselves and in relation to others. And so this part is divided into two parts. In the first of these he assigns the difference among the three aforesaid gifts. In the second he assigns their difference in relation to others, which are not gifts, there: And it must be noted that understanding and knowledge etc.
The first part is divided into two. In the first of these he assigns the difference between wisdom and knowledge. In the second he assigns the difference of understanding in relation to the two aforesaid, there: The difference between wisdom and knowledge having been shown.
Likewise the second principal part is divided into two. In the first of these he assigns the difference of understanding and knowledge themselves, insofar as they are gifts, with respect to themselves and2 insofar as they are acquired. In the second he assigns the difference between wisdom-as-gift and uncreated Wisdom, there: That too must be known, that the wisdom of which we are speaking etc. But the divisions of the parts are sufficiently manifest in the letter [of the text].
TREATMENT OF THE QUESTIONS.
Now for the understanding of this part a question here arises concerning six things, according as there are six gifts beyond the gift of fear, although the Master in the letter3 touches on only three.
First it is asked what is the act, and what the proper4 object of the gift of wisdom.
Second, what is the act, and what the object of the gift of knowledge.
Third, what is the act, and what the object of the gift of understanding.
Fourth, what is the act, and what the object of the gift of counsel.
Fifth, what is the act, and what the object of the gift of fortitude.
Sixth and last, what is the act, and what the object of the gift of piety.
SOLE ARTICLE.
On the remaining six gifts of the Holy Spirit, specifically.
