genus
et formam definiunt hoc modo: Genus est notio ad pluris
differentias pertinens; forma est notio cuius differentia ad
caput generis et quasi fontem referri potest. Notionem
appello quod Graeci turn ἔννοιαν turn πρόληψιν. Ea est
insita et animo1 praecepta2 cuiusque cognitio enodationis
indigens. Formae sunt igitur3 eae in quas genus sine
ullius praetermissione dividitur; ut si quis ius in legem
morem aequitatem dividat. Formas qui putat idem esse
quod partis, confundit artem et similitudine quadam con-
turbatus non satis acute quae sunt secernenda distinguit.
