The first and by far longer one (covering the first four parts of the book) consists largely of an exposition of the doctrine of Nicolaus of Cusa, based on three texts: De docta ignorantia, De Idiota, De Beryllo.

He finds scholastic thought so transformed in Nicolaus that Descartes' further transformations were almost made necessary."
