The only significant conclusion I drew was Thomas of Erfort’s use of a triadic view of terms could have substantially contributed to CSP’s usage of triads. On the other hand, I have no idea of the years in which CSP read Thomas of Erfort, so this is merely idle speculation about the intensity of the effects of his words on CSP. BTW, the time I invested in the study of medieval has paid rich dividends over the ensuing decade. I heartily recommend it to CSP students. History is always critical. Cheer Jerry
