The nose, then, is part of the substance signified by snubness, but it is not part of the definition of the form of concavity. [...] The form is designated by the peculiarly Aristotelian expression as the element in the thing which is that thing's necessary and unchangeable Being, in contrast in the physical order to the matter and the composite (both of which are changeable), and in the logical order to the generic characteristics (which are not necessarily restricted to the species in question). [...] Albert writing his Commentary on the Sentences™ Adam of Buckfield's unedited Commentary on the Metaphysics also shows the influence of Averroes on this as on other points of doctrine.19 Even more striking, however, is the evidence of Averroes' interpretation in the Sapientiale of Thomas of York, which cites the Arabian philosopher at great length on the identity of form and quid- dity.20 15 J. Owe [...] For example, he says in one place that the definition of man does not include bones, sinew and flesh; only the parts of the form are parts of the definition.21 Again, the definition of man is the definition of the soul.22 When he writes in this way, Aristotle is by no means denying what he said in Book VI of the Metaphysics about sensible matter appearing in the natural philosopher's definition of [...] Of course it is not a question of the essence being composed of this particular form and this particular matter, for the individual, such as Socrates and Callias, is composed of these; but rather of form and matter in general, as soul and body make up the essence of the species man.
