a2r Albertus Magnus [pseudo-]: De duabus sapientiis. [Also known as Speculum astronomiae.] Opera (1651), V 656-66; Opera (1890), X 629-50. (Ps.?) Albertus Magnus, “Speculum astronomiae”, ed. Stefano Caroti, Michela Pereira, Stefano Zamponi, and Paola Zambelli, Quaderni di Storia e Critica della Scienza, NS 10 (Pisa, 1977), 5-48 (edition), 95-175 (list of manuscripts), 185-8 (list of previous editions); see Thorndike–Kibre 975. On authorship see Meersseman 132-8 and Glorieux, Répertoire, 6 dj (ascribed to Roger Bacon, probably by Philippe Le Chancelier). Goldschmidt's Catalogue 71, no. 15 (1943) suggests that Roger Bacon was the author. The text is regarded as a spurious work by Bernhard Geyer, ‘Das “Speculum astronomiae” kein Werk des Albertus', Münchener theologische Zeitschrift, 4 (1953), 95-101. Thorndike argues in favour of the authenticity of the text; see Lynn Thorndike, ‘Further Consideration of the “Experimenta”, “Speculum astronomiae” and “De secretis mulierum” ascribed to Albertus Magnus', Speculum, 30 (1955), 413-43, at 423-7.
