At the time of his death in 1308, the Scottish philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus left his major works, the Ordinatio and the Quodlibet, unfinished.1

Following his passing, his students completed these texts by incorporating materials from his reportationes examinatae—notes taken during his lectures—to fill in the sections he had left undictated. Modern scholars, particularly through the critical Vatican edition project initiated in 1950, have worked to reconstruct the Ordinatio to reflect the original version as Duns Scotus left it, including his own corrections and revisions.1
