Secunda Petri
Secunda Petri
Literally, the second of Peter, that is the second part of a work on logic, Institutiones Dialecticae, of Pierre de la Ramee, latinized Petrus Ramus (1515-1572), which treated of judgments, de iudicio. Hence a stupid person was said to be deficient in secunda Petri, or sound judgment. — J.J.R.
