Primary sources

Six works have been attributed to Thomas of Erfurt.

• Tractatus de modis significandi seu Grammatica speculativa (ed. Bursill-Hall 1972),
• Commentary on Porphyry's Isagoge
• Commentary on Aristotle's Categories
• Commentary on Aristotle's De interpretatione
• Commentary on Liber sex principiorum (Book of Six Principles).
• Commentary on Commentarius in carmen ‘Fundamentum puerorum’ (ed. Gansiniec 1960), although its editor believes that it is actually an anonymous abridgement of De modis significandi.
