Charles Lohr pointed out to me that the Quaetio de primo cognito was a topic in metaphysics in the middle ages, thus it appears to be new for this question employed in logic and physics texts. ...

Their scholarly friendship was extremely productive for both, perhaps because they did not always agree. This paper is inspired by his question to Schmitt, and while it does not claim to have identified the elusive skeptical Aristotle, it will show how aporeo became dubito when William Moebeke translated Aristotle's Metaphysics 3,1 and how discussions around the use of dubito and dubitandi were ridiculed by such philosophers as Pierre de La Ramée or criticized by Fonseca and Suarez. This will supply the background for my contention that Metaphysics 3, 1 was turned by Benito Pereira into a program for methodical doubt which exhibit similarities with Descartes's.
