Paulus Venetus 1 (died 1429) enumerates no fewer than fourteen distinct solutions of the paradox of the "Liar"2 of which one corresponds precisely to the modern; the author nevertheless declines all of them and offers another, the fifteenth. This solution comes about from the distinction of two modes of meaning: (a) the meaning (significatio) with no further determination, (b) the "precise and adequate" meaning (significatio vraecisa et adaequata). A proposition means in the first place precisely what it means and nothing else; in the second place, it means also that it is itself true.
