Durand of Saint-Pourçain's earliest treatment of cognitive habits is contained in his Sentences commentary, book 3, distinction 23. In the first two questions, he discusses the ontological status of habits and their causal role, establishing his own unique view alongside the views of Godfrey of Fontaines and Hervaeus Natalis. What follows is the Latin text and an English translation of Durand's Sentences A/B III, d. 23, qq. 1–2.
