Tractatus Rerum Metaphysicarum de anima in comuni et de vegetativa in specie, Tomus IIII, 1587-1588

An example of sixteenth-century lecture notes as copied by Mutio Pansa. The author of the Treatise on Metaphysics is not named, and may or may not have been Paulus Valla (Paulus Vallius). Valla had begun teaching at the Collegio Romano in 1585-1586; in the following year he taught Metaphysics, while in 1587 or 1588 he was teaching Logic. This may then represent the tail-end of Valla's course on Metaphysics, though perhaps the second piece marks the beginning of his Natural Philosophy course in 1588-1589.

Nel Tragico Teatro, Il mundo redento, 1594

Act V of this manuscript ends in the middle of Scene 3. The play was published posthumously in Venice in 1641, edited by Carlo Muzio Pansa, Muzio Pansa's son. This is a working draft, without the introduction which appeared in the printed version. The corrections seem to be in the author's hand, but some might be in his son's. It is an allegorical work, with the chief characters being The World, Pluto, The Flesh, Death, and Sin, and others including the Virgin Mary, apostles, centurions, Scribes and Pharisees, etc. There are some decorated initials in Pansa's usual style, though a few are only rudimentary. While Pansa was a prolific poet, this is one of only two of his known dramas.
