  • Description: <jats:p>This note provides an edition of the Latin text of a <jats:italic>quodlibet</jats:italic> by the Parisian master Peter of Auvergne concerning the knowledge of angels about the coming of Antichrist. The introduction to the edition argues that this <jats:italic>quodlibet</jats:italic> was not made in response to Arnald of Villanova's <jats:italic>De tempore adventus Antichristi</jats:italic>. Rather, it is best understood as a hypothetical inquiry regarding the ability of angels to communicate revelation to human beings.</jats:p>
