[b]Librarian's Comments:[/b]
He explains, in a tone somewhere between a lecture and a recitation:
"For Summae, Exceptional and Good qualities are somewhat subjective, and I admit I have high standards - both will allow a new student to the Art to "master" it (to Level 5+) in one season. But the exceptional texts, besides being that much better for advanced study, will support that same pace for even the most difficult student. For Tractatus, "exceptional" merely means a talented and highly communicative author, of a rare quality.
"Texts I consider "poor" quality are ones that stand out as what could only be weak communication on the part of the author; and the rest present a wide spectrum in between..."
[i]"...As a note, we need more Tractatus on any Art one might be able to get a hold of, and also a decent Level (>5) Animal summa. Imagonem summa is also low in Level, 8 (tho' great in Quality, a perfect "beginner's" text).
"Beyond that, we would want to acquire 2 Summa for each Art- one introductory, high-Quality but lower top Level, and then one with a high Level (sacrificing Quality.) Or one that covers both aspects- our L15 Q15 Intellego, for instance. And even there, there's room for improvement. Always..."[/i]
Low-mid Level, 10-12: Perdo, Aquam, Aurum, Herbem, Mentem
Lower Quality (= slower study), 12 or less: Creo, Rego, Corpus, Ignem, Terrem
(Leaving only Intellego, Muto and Vim as currently "acceptable" in both Level and Quality.)
