 De modis significandi proved to be so popular that it became the standard (and later, the representative) text for the Modist tradition (see next section), surviving in over 40 fourteenth- and fifteenth-century manuscripts. A printed edition appeared in the late fifteenth century that was reprinted a remarkable 11 times before its ‘definitive’ reprinting in Luke Wadding's 1639 edition of the complete works of Duns  Scotus.[6]
