This is a well-known and widely used edition of the works of Duns Scotus, commonly known as the ‘Wadding edition’, published by the Irish Franciscan friar, Luke Wadding, in 1639. Although it contains a number of spurious works, this is still the standard text for many of Scotus’s writings, the Vatican critical edition being some way from completion. Wadding’s edition also remains valuable for the scholia, parallel citations and commentaries by sixteenth-century Scotists, including MacCaughwell, Hickey, Lychetus, Ponce, and others. It was published in Lyon in 1639.

UNS SCOTUS, JOHN R.P.F. 'Ioannis Duns Scoti, Doctoris Subtilis, Ordinis Minorum, opera omnia, quae hucusque reperiri potuerunt, collecta, recognita, notis, scholiis, et commentariis illustrata a PP. Hibernis, Collegii Romani S. Isidori professoribus'. (Lyons): Laurent Durand, 1639. First collected edition. Edited by Fr. Luke Wadding OFM (and others). Wadding devoted four years to the preparation of the edition. ‘He corrected the text throughout according to the best manuscripts and earliest impressions, inserted critical notes and learned scholia, and enriched the edition with the commentaries of MacCaughwell, Hickey, Lychetus, Ponce, and others. It was a colossal undertaking, and would alone have immortalized his name. His life of John Duns Scotus, which is prefixed to the first volume, appeared separately in 1644’ (Source: 'Catholic Encyclopedia'). The first four volumes contain Duns Scotus’ miscellaneous writings on grammar, logic and so on, volumes V to X the 'Opus Oxoniense', Vol. XI the 'Reportata Parisiensia', and vol. XII the 'Quodlibeta'. The entire edition was reprinted in 1891-5 and again in 1968 under the auspices of the Scotist Commission.
