And also to move and inspire the hearts of the readers and heirs. For we have seen wicked, dishonest, and vituperable works flourish, and to accomplish and complete honorable and meritorious works to live in perpetual remembrance. For it is so that storytellers have written many a noble history, both in meter and in prose. By these acts and noble deeds of ancient conquerors have been kept in memory and remain in great, large, and adorned volumes, and shall abide in perpetual memory, to the intent that glorious Princes and high men of noble and virtuous courage should take example and undertake worthy and honorable works.\n\nFirst, for God's sake, in maintaining our faith and the liberties of the holy church. For the recovery of the holy land, which our blessed [blank]\n\n(Note: The text is missing a name or title for the blessed person mentioned in the last sentence.) Lord Jesus Christ has consecrated by his blessed presence human beings and shed his precious blood for our redemption. For the relief of such Christian men who dwell in great misery and slavery. And also for the defense of their realms, lands, and subjects. May they tend to them in their noble personages with all their powers. Address and relieve them in their ancient French territories and liberty, according to what we find written in holy scripture of many noble histories, which were too long to recount. But in particular of three noble and most worthy of all others: first, of Duke Joshua, that noble prince who led and conducted the Children of Israel, the chosen people of God, out of the desert into the land of promise, the land flowing with milk and honey; secondly, of David the king and holy prophet, whom God chose according to his heart, and governed the said chosen people of God for a long time. For forty years, and the third of the noble Judas Maccabeus defended the people in fighting many and remarkable battles, for true zeal and love of the law and its maintenance, until his death. For these causes, the names of these three have remained perpetual for three of the most distinguished and noblest of the Jews. And in the name of the most dignified and worthy, I find Whetstone mentioning the incredible, chivalrous, prowess of the noble and valiant Hector of Troy, whose excellent deeds are written by Homer, Virgil, Dares, Dictys, and others, each surpassing the other in recounting his noble virtues, strength, and humanity. Secondly, of Alexander the great king of Macedon, who dominated and had the universal world in obedience to him. And the third, the noble Julius Caesar, Emperor of Rome, whose noble deeds are written by Lucan, Statius, and others. Remembered as new and fresh as he yet lived, there were three set aside as the most worthy among the gentiles and peasants. Now let us remember what histories have been written about Christian men, of whom there are many. But in particular, I find the first and most excellent, the glorious and renowned King Arthur, king of the Britons, who reigned in this realm at that time. His retinue consisted of many noble kings, princes, and lords: the noblest were the knights of the round table. Of their acts and histories, there are large volumes and great numbers of books. O blessed lord, when I remember the great and many volumes of the Holy Grail, Gahot and Launce Lot, Perceval, Lancelot, and Tristram, and many others, whose names were too long to repeat, and also unknown to me. But the story of the said Arthur is so glorious and shining that he is placed in the first place among the most noble, best, and worthy. The Christian men. Secondly, of Charlemagne. the great emperor of Germany and king of France / whose noble acts and conquests are recorded in large volumes, with the noble deeds and acts of his twelve peers: Roland and Oliver, and the others, whose names and renown also abide perpetually. Among all these histories, the books and volumes have been had in Latin, French, and English, and other languages.\n\nAs for the third of the Christian princes reported and renowned to be equal among these worthy and best that ever were, I mean the noble Godfrey of Bouillon. He, who not long ago has not yet completed four C. years since he emerged, was ranked in the third place among the most worthy of Christian men. Whose history is recorded and written in Latin and French in large and great volumes. And among us here, who are neighbors to the place of his nativity, whose noble history I have not related. I found in a book of French, at great length, details of Valois' noble acts, prowesses, and accomplishments of his high enterprises. In this book, I find causes that seem very similar and alike to those we have nowadays against Christianity. This was instigated and inspired by the Turks, who, in Valois' time, had not yet conquered Constantinople, but had not advanced beyond the brass gates. However, at this day, they have come over and taken the Imperial City, Constantinople, and many Roman and other lands, to the great detriment and harm of all Christianity. Few Christian princes have yet resisted them. I return again to the conquest at the time when they had reached the said gates. Through the diligent solicitude of an empire, an enterprise was undertaken to wage war against the Turks and to recover the holy city of Jerusalem, which they had taken afterward. And he conquered from the Braas to the holy land and recovered the holy city of Jerusalem, as this said book will plainly show. In which city the said Godfrey was elected and chosen for his virtue, prowess, and blessed disposition. I, thus viewing this noble history, which is no fable or fabrication, but all that is in it is true, considering also the great power of the Turk, great enemy of our Christian faith, destroyer of Christian blood and usurper of certain empires and many Christian realms and territories. And now in this same year, this said Turk has assaulted the city and castle on the Isle of Rhodes, where he has been valiantly resisted. But yet he has advanced further and is resisted without, from Rome and Italy. I beseech almighty God to provide, if it is his will. Then it seems necessary and expedient for all Christian princes to make peace, friendship, and alliance with each other. other and provoked by their ways, the dominions resist him for the defense of our faith and the holy church, and also for the recuperation of the holy land and the holy City of Jerusalem, in which our blessed Savior Jesus Christ redeemed us with his precious blood. And to do as this noble prince Godfrey of Bouillon and other noble and high princes in his company did, I have endeavored to translate this book of the conquest of Jerusalem from French into our maternal tongue, to encourage and compose, and to show the holy miracles performed by every man in his party for the resistance and recuperation of the said holy land. And since I know of no Christian king better provided in arms, and for whom God has shown more grace, and in all his enterprises, glorious victories, happiness, and prosperity, than our [king]. \"natural and lawful lord and most Christian king, Edward, by the grace of God, king of England and of France and lord of Ireland, under the noble protection of whose name I have achieved this simple translation, which he, of his most noble grace, would address, command some noble captain of his subjects to undertake this war against the said Turk and heathen people. To him, my most dread natural and lawful lord, I address this simple and rude book, beseeching his most bountiful and abundant grace to receive it from me, his unworthy and humble subject, William Caxton. And to pardon me for presuming, beseeching almighty God that this said book may encourage, move, and inflame the hearts of some noble men, so that the enemies may be resisted and put to rebuke. May Christian faith be increased and enhanced, and the holy land, with the blessed city, \" I Jerusalem recovered and may come again into Christian hands. Then I urge all noble men of high courage to see this book and read it. By which you shall see what ways were taken, what noble prowesses and valiances were achieved by the noble companies. And especially by the said noble prince Godfrey of Bouillon, duke of Lorraine, by whom he deserved the name of one of the most worthy that ever were. And is stationed in the third stall of the Christian conquerors. And in the ninth of the most worthy, where his name and renown shall remain and abide perpetually. I beseech Almighty God to grant and bestow upon our said sovereign lord, or one of his noble progeny, that is, my lord Prince, and my lord Richard duke of York and Norfolk. To whom I humbly beseech, at their leisure and pleasure, to see and read this simple book. By which they may be encouraged to deserve lordship and honor, and may their renown increase and remain perpetually. And after. this life is short and transitory; all we may attain is to reach the everlasting life in heaven, where there is joy and rest.\n\nThe first chapter treats of how Heracles conducted and brought the true Cross into Jerusalem.

However, during his time, Mande made the people understand that he was a prophet sent by our Lord. In the time of Heracles, the false law of Mande was cleansed, and Cosdrone, the tyrant who had set it in place, was destroyed. Heracles had established a strong encampment in the land named Iudaea, and from there he drew his forces toward Damascus to siege the city. He took the city by strength, as he had a great number of people, and nothing could resist him. Emperor Heracles, who dwelt in a part of this land named Cilicia, heard the news and searched for his cousins. He desired much to have them and drive them out of the land, for in a short time they had conquered all the country of Syria to Egypt. One thing that was taken from the remnant when they were captured was brought into Capua, and they took the city of it. I Jerusalem took by force and entered the town with 54 Jewish men. And he carried away with him the veil. Now I shall tell you why he did so, as I mentioned earlier, he was a mighty king. At that time, there was an emperor at Rome named Mauricius, whom we find was well acquainted with St. Gregory. For the said St. Gregory had baptized his daughter, named Marie. Mauricius gave her in marriage to Cosroe. And there was a great friendship between them, as well as great alliance between Persia and Rome, as long as the emperor lived. In such a way, that for the love of his wife, and the Romans who were Christian, this Emperor Mauricius caused Cosroe to be baptized. But after it happened that Phocas slew Mauricius in treason, and Mauricius was emperor in his place, and was called Phocas the traitor. He slew their lord unfaithfully, and was yet stained with the blood of the emperor they had chosen to follow. For this reason, Phocas entered the land of the Romans and said: They entered the holy city of Jerusalem finding it destroyed and deserted, except for a few Christian men who lived there and were permitted to do so as Christians, rebuilding their churches. The mighty prince began to inquire extensively about Syphonia, who had been chosen instead of Modestus, whom I have mentioned earlier. He asked where the temple of our Lord had been when Titus, the prince, defeated and destroyed the entire city. He showed him the exact location and the foundations, as well as part of the walls that were still standing. Without delay, he summoned a large number of masons and carpenters and had them gather and cut marble and other materials necessary for the construction. He assembled as many people as needed and designed the manner and arrangement of the measurements and discrepancies for building the temple. And as he was a noble prince, he rebuilt the temple in such a way that it appeared in its current form and condition. This said prince assigned great rents and revenues to himself for its sustenance and repair, as well as for the necessities of the priesthood and other temple needs. The temple contained letters of gold within and without, written in Arabic, which we assume referred to the one who rebuilt the temple. Who rebuilt the temple and when? How much did it cost?\n\nHowever, this holy city of Jerusalem was in servitude and danger from pagan people for a long time, that is, from the year 433, continuing intermittently. The lords changed, some better and some worse, depending on their various manners and conditions. Nevertheless, the people remained subject. It happened that one great lord of this said law had nearly in his seizin all the land of Thoryent, save only India. This prince was named Aaron, and his surname was Resit. This man was of such great courtesy, of such great largesse, of such high vigor, and of such great affairs in all good manners that the people speak of him like the French Charlemagne. Aaron and Charlemagne were both in the same time. Therefore, in their time, the Christian people in Jerusalem were in better condition than they had ever been before under any of the heathen peoples. For Charlemagne, the good Emperor, who so much toiled and suffered for our Lord, and who so much advanced the faith of Jesus Christ to the East, persevered so long that he had the love and acquaintance of the said Aaron through messages that went and came. Of this Aaron, he had great joy. Above all the princes of the world, he was esteemed. King Louis and his subjects honored Emperor Charlemagne and the Christian people under his rule, as well as all the holy places under his power. Charlemagne wished for these to be entertained, maintained, and well adorned, as he had requested and sent word. It seemed that our people there were more under Charlemagne's power than under the heathens'. When he could find Charlemagne's messengers, he charged and loaded them all with riches from his treasury, with silk clothes, spices, jewels of gold of various kinds, and with precious stones, which he sent to his friend Charlemagne. In addition, he sent an elephant to France. This nobleman purchased Charlemagne's favor for the Christian men in captivity under the aforementioned Aaron. Likewise, Aaron purchased the favor of other Christians held captive among the heathens. In Egypt and Africa, that is, in Alexandria and Carthage, lords received Cristian envoys and sent great presents to their masters, mistrustees, and amiable letters. In this way, Cristian men's power was sustained. The high prince Charles did the same to heathen lords who were far from him. It is believed that if he had been near them, he would have tried to deliver the people of our Lord in another manner, as he did gloriously in many places.\n\nDuring this time, a great dispute arose between the mistrustees of Egypt and those of Persia. Each party sought dominion over the other. The root of this great hatred and envy stemmed from the disputes over certain points of their law, in such a way that they could not contain their disagreements. They who hold the law of Persia have names in their language. These are called Siha. They are not far from the very Christian law, as are the others. It happened that those of Egypt issued out of their land and conquered all the lands up to Antioch. Among the other cities that were taken, the holy city of Jerusalem came under their power and lordship. The people therein were reasonably well treated, until it happened, by the suffrance of God, that His people should be chastised. This was by a despicable and cruel lord and caliph of Egypt named Hecam. He surpassed in malice and cruelty all his predecessors in such a way that the people of his law held them as madmen of pride, rage, and deceit. Among other tyrannies, he commanded to cast down to the ground the church of the sepulcher of our Lord Jesus Christ, which had been made first by Constantine the Great, a noble emperor. In this time, the Patriarch of Jerusalem was a valiant man named Oreste. He was an uncle to the ruler of Egypt, the king's brother. This was the reason for his cruelty towards Christians, as the pagans claimed he would never be firm in their law due to his Christian mother. In response, he destroyed the Holy Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which was the foundation and beginning of our creation. From then on, the state of the people at Jerusalem became more grievous and sorrowful than it was accustomed to be. They took great offense at their church's destruction among them. On the other hand, they were heavily burdened with tributes, tasks, and tolls granted to them by pagan princes. They were also forbidden to make any festivals and were commanded to make no semblance of a festival within their midst. assuredly, but if a Christian man spoke lightly to one of the heathen men, immediately he would be taken as a murderer and brought to prison, and therefore lost his life or limb, or was brought to the gibbet. And all the good that he had was brought into the hands of the Caliph. He took the children of the Christian people, both boys and girls, into their own houses and made them wards against their will. And sometimes by force, and another with lies and flattery, made many young people renounce our faith. And thus they did much harm and grief to our people. But notwithstanding, good Christian men comforted and encouraged the people to endure all this with a good heart and true penitence for the faith of Jesus Christ, and promised them for these shameful experiences, the joy, honor, and glory of heaven which shall endure forever. The good Christian people spoke so persuasively that they enforced them to hold and keep their Christian faith more securely. One malicious and unfaithful pagan, who hated Christians cruelly, devised a plan to harm them. During that time, it would take too long to recount all the harm they had caused. I will provide you with one example to help you understand more. This pagan saw that the city held the temple in great honor and reverence, which was called Dominus, and those in charge kept it clean and neat. There was a place in front of the temple named the temple's theater, which they kept as clean as Christians kept their churches and other places. This unfaithful man, whom I have previously mentioned, took a dead, rotting and stinking dog by night, so no one would notice, and brought it to the same place in front of the temple. In the morning, those in charge of the temple discovered it. The town came to the temple and found this dog. Then a sound and a roar, a cry and a clamor so great throughout the town, that there was nothing spoken of but this hound. They assembled and put to rest any doubt that this was not done or cast there but by the Christians. All the heathen men agreed to this point that all the Christian people should be put to death with the sword. And there their swords were drawn ready. And they also who should strike off their heads. Among the Christian men was a young man of great heart and great pity. He spoke to the people and said to them, \"Fair lords, truth it is, that I am not culpable in this thing. Nor any of you, as I truly believe. But it would be overly great damage if we all died thus, for by this would all Christendom be quenched in this land. Wherefore I have thought in my heart, how I shall deliver you all by the aid of our Lord. Two things I desire of you for the love of God. The first is that you...\" Pray for my soul in your prayers, that you may deport and honor my poor lineage, for I will take this thing upon me and say that I, like all the others, have done this deed which they have put upon us all. Those who doubted the death had great joy when they heard this, and promised him their prayers and honor of his lineage. In this manner, Elijah Christ came before the judge, and said to them that the other Christian men were not guilty in this deed. He himself had done the deed, when they had only struck him on the head. What diseases suffered the people of our Lord in this time, but Christ, who can set remedies in things said here, greatly desired it for the love of the emperor. It was not long after that this emperor died, and after him reigned Constantine, who had the surname Monomachus, not possessing the power. Upon this, they had a council that they would send to... In the town of Jerusalem, there was a good man named John, born in Constantinople, who had been a great gentleman of the country according to his lineage. However, he was more noble of heart and good in manner. This man had come on a pilgrimage to the holy sepulcher and had left all the vanities and honor of the world behind, taking up religion instead, to follow our Lord Jesus Christ in poverty and humility in the place where he suffered poverty and affliction for us. This John was urged by all the Christian people there to undertake this mission to go to the emperor on their behalf, out of love for God and them. He did so willingly and departed, arriving in Constantinople, where he spoke to the emperor and carried out all that was required of him. The emperor granted that he would make all the necessary dispensations for the building of this holy church and would restore it. John was much joyful when he had successfully completed his mission and took leave of the emperor, returning to Jerusalem, where he spoke to the people. The good news he brought brought great joy to them, and many lords would not forget the kindnesses he had done for them. The emperor kept his promise well, sending a great part of his treasure without delay. He made the Church of the Holy Sepulchre magnificent in its state and condition, as it still is. This was the year of the Lord's incarnation, 454. The church had been destroyed thirty-five years earlier, just before our people recovered the city. When the Christian men there rebuilt the church, they were very joyful and were also comforted there for all their afflictions and reproaches they had suffered, not only in Jerusalem, but also in all the cities. In the city where Amos the prophet was born, named Tekoa, the Caliph frequently sent in. The people in the land were frequently set new tributes and taxes which they could not easily pay. If they did not pay promptly, they were threatened with the destruction of their churches and were told that their lord had commanded them to do so. The Christians were thus under the power of the Egyptians one time and the Persians another, but this was only the beginning for them when they came under the rule of the Turks. For the Turks conquered the Persian and Egyptian realms, and thus the holy city fell into their domain. The Turks treated and tormented it so cruelly that it seemed to the people of our Lord that they were in slavery and in great distress under the Egyptians and Persians. The Turks held them in this condition for seven years.\n\nAs I have spoken much about the Turks and will speak more about them in this book, it seems good to me to tell you from whence this people came and how they obtained such great power. The Turks and Turkomans came from... In a region called Roce, which is in Surrey, there was a people who were very rude and lacked order. They had no country or fixed dwelling place but roamed from land to land, seeking pastures for their beasts. They never dwelled in castles or towns and when they had to move from one place to another, they dismantled and obeyed whoever commanded them. They carried with them all their possessions, servants, livestock, including oxen, sheep, and other beasts. All their riches were in their livestock. They did not labor the land by plowing or sowing, as they had no money but their beasts, cheese, and milk, which they exchanged for other necessities. Whenever they had stayed in one place and needed to go to another, they sent the wisest among their people to the princes of the country to make covenants for them to dwell in their woods and pastures in return for tribute. They should accord. Now it happened that a great party of these people departed from the other and entered into Persia's land. They found this land very plentiful in pastures and good for what they needed. They gave the king the tribute they were accorded before, and dwelt there for an unknown length of time. This people began to grow and multiply so greatly that there were among them a marvelous great number. The king and his subjects began to have great doubts and fears, lest they might do harm due to the power that grew and increased excessively. They had a council among them that they would drive and chase them out of their land by force. But after they changed their counsel, it seemed better to them that they should impose such tributes on them that they could not endure, and then they should depart by their own agreement, as they had come. They did so. But they suffered these grievances for a long time until at last when they They could no longer endure among themselves that they would pay any more to the king, when the king heard this, he caused it to be proclaimed throughout his realm that they should issue out of it by a certain day named to them, and that they should cross the flood named Cobar, which is the utmost part of the Persian kingdom on the other side. And when they were departed and on the plain, they saw among themselves that they were such a great multitude that no land could contain them, nor could it withstand them if they gathered together, for when they dwelt in Persia, they lived scattered in such a way that they did not know their strength. But now, when they saw that they were so numerous, they had marvelous great contempt for what they had suffered, and the pride and grievousness of one prince. They took counsel among themselves and saw that no people could resist them, but could conquer all the lands around. However, one thing troubled them, and that was, they had no king over them. And then they did this: They found among them a hundred lineages, each of which brought forth an arrow marked in such a way that the arrow of each lineage could be recognized. When all these arrows were gathered together, they called for a little child and commanded him to choose one. They had agreed among themselves that the lineage whose arrow the child chose would choose a king. The child chose one from a lineage later called Selduces. Now they knew that they must choose a king from this lineage. They took a hundred of the most prudent and wise men they could find from all the lineages and commanded each of them to bring an arrow on which his name was written. Afterward, they called for the child and told him to choose one of the arrows. Among them, he chose the one with Selduc written on it. This man, Selduc, was very noble and highly honored in his lineage. He was great and strong, a good knight, and well proven. He seemed to be a good man and engaged in high works. The people chose him to be their king, as they had promised. They did him homage and fealty, obeying him and honoring him like a new king. This king, for his first commandment, ordered and had proclaimed over all, on pain of losing their lives, that they should cross and go over again the flood of Cobar and return to Persia. They would no longer be in danger to seek a place and dwelling where they might live, but would conquer this land instead and retain it in their lordship, as he said and commanded. It was done, for the people conquered in a short time by the strength of arms not only the Kingdom of Persia, but all Arabian and other lands of the East. They took them by strength and retained them under their power. And thus it happened that These people who before had been so rude and lived so out of rule, behaving like beasts, had within less than forty years been subdued by such great lords as now existed. Therefore, they were called Turks, and they all descended into Surrey and conquered the land. Among the other cities they took the holy city of Jerusalem. And such people as they found there they deemed wicked and tormented and caused them more distress than they had before, as I have told you before.\n\nYou have heard how this people who were called Thories in this country now are. Now you may know how the Christian faith is contained and ruled in other parts of the world. Know for certain that at that time there were few who had the fear of the Lord in their hearts. All wisdom, all truth, all pity were failed. The faith of Jesus Christ was, as it seemed, about to be quenched. And of charity, men spoke not. Debates, discords, and wars were near universal. The end of the world was near, as our lord indicates in the Gospels, due to pestilences and famines being widespread. Fearful signs trembled from heaven in many places, and there were many other things that should have frightened the hearts of men and brought them closer to our lord. However, they were as deaf and blind to hearing and seeing this, which was necessary for their salvation. Princes and barons burned and destroyed the lands of their neighbors. If any man had saved anything in their keeping, their own lords took them and put them in prison and subjected them to terrible torments to take away what they had. In such a way, the children of those who had been rich men went from door to door begging and getting their bread, and some of them died from hunger and disease. As for the churches and religious houses, they kept neither their privileges nor any other franchises, but all that could be taken from them was. founden as well mobiles. rents, and other things / they took the crosses, chalices, and the sensors from the churches / and molested not, nor forfeited nothing / The countries were full of thieves & murderers / In cities and in good towns, no man was safe / There reigned customarily drunkenness, lechery, play at dice & robberies / there was no marriage kept, nor lineage / And also as in evil life were the clerks or worse / as the others / The bishops and the other prelates dared not reprimand or chastise any for their evil works / The rents of holy church they gave or paid none / but sold the benefices / And finally I say to you that all evil works had supplanted all Christian men / in such a way that it seemed that every man did pain to serve the devil.\n\nLord, who chastises in this world to spare in the other, and can well discipline his children,\nfor he loves to save them, suffered a great plague to come into the country to chastise the people / for in this time when Emperor Roman was lord in Constantinople. From the parties of Thoryent, a powerful pagan prince named Belphegor emerged, bringing with him such a great multitude of people from Persia and Syria that they covered the entire country. The multitude was so great that it could not be contained. They brought with them Cabalists, and with this great apparatus, this great force and strength Belphegor brought into the Constantinople empire. He began to take and plunder all that he found, and wherever they found fortresses, cities, or castles, they took it all with assault, for nothing could resist them. But those people, in their entirety, fled before him. This news reached Emperor Roman that this great lord had surprised and taken all his lands. Immediately, he sent out throughout the empire. And he did thensome all his host and assembled as many people as he could get, and as much good as issued with as many men armed, each to the other with great hatred. The head and frontier commanders. Again, but each one where he could best save them did all that they desired. They killed many and took great plenteous livestock. Among all others, the emperor was taken himself, when tidings came into the country that the battle was lost and the emperor taken. There was great sorrow among all the old men. Wives and children who had not been there mourned this prince's boasting that he had thus gained victory over the Christian men. He mounted and rode around in great pride, for he thought well that he would find no barrier that would let him do his will in them.\n\nWhen he was lodged and his host about him, he commanded the emperor, who had been taken in the battle, to be brought before him. He set his foot upon the neck of the emperor and did this often when he should mount on horseback or descend. He shamed and despised the emperor in this way, and when he had done so for a while, he let him go and delivered him and some of his men. The barons, who had him prisoners, regarded him as excessively dishonored when the emperor returned to Constantinople. The barons of the land considered him as one who had shamefully conducted the battle and took him, plucked out his eyes, and allowed him to live in sorrow and shame. This prince Belphegor began to conquer all the land in such a way that within a little while he controlled from the lists of Syria to the sea called the Braas of St. George, which is about thirty journeys in length and ten in breadth, and in some places fifteen. When he came to the Braas, he intended to enter Constantinople, which is on the other side of that small sea, but he could not find ships. Thus, the Christian people of that land, for their sins, were subjected to this cruel people. Among them was the noble and high city where St. Peter was first made chief of Christianity, that is, Antioch, which was taken in the end and made subject to the Turks. Thus, this Belphegor held in his dominion and demesne the lands named Celesyrie and the two others. During the time of Pamphylia, Lycia, Lycarne in Cappadocia, Galatia, Bethuye and its surrounding areas, these countries were very fertile and populous. This pagan population began to desecrate the churches and harass the Christian people as they pleased. Due to great fear and terror in the hearts of the Christian people, they all fled six journeys from the said Belphet. This was a cause of great astonishment for the holy city of Jerusalem and its people, for as long as Constantine was in power and in his great strength, many great reliefs and comforts in the form of rich gifts and large alms came to the people of Syria, and also from the land of Antioch. But then they had lost all hope and had no expectation that any aid or relief would come to them. Therefore, they believed they would always be in servitude and captivity without reason.\n\nDuring this perilous time for the lordship of these pagans, the Greeks and the Latins frequently came as pilgrims to Jerusalem. for praying our lord and crying him mercy, that he would not forget his people. Yet many came there in great peril. For all the countries through which they should pass were full of their enemies, and often they were robbed and slain. And when they might escape and come to the holy city, they might not enter therein. But each person must pay a tribute. Of which it often happened that those who were plundered had not wherewithal to pay this tribute and might not enter into the town. And for this they suffered cold, hunger, and great suffering. And the citizens of the town were greatly grieved, for they sustained those who lived and buried those who were dead. And they made acquaintances with the heathen men, conducted and led them to Saint Mary de la Latine, where there was an hospital named Saint John. Nothing displeased them in this. And when they had made their devotion, and were in the service of our lord the heathen, they threw him down to the ground. In this land, people, covered in mud, cried out to our lord for mercy with sighs and tears. The good lord, who after the tempest and dark weather could bring clarity and fair season, looked upon them with pity. He sent them comfort and deliverance from the torments in which they had long suffered. I have told you before that from many lands pilgrims came to Jerusalem. Among them all, there was one who was born in the bishopric of Amiens, in the kingdom of France. He was named Peter, who had been a hermit in a wood, and therefore was called Peter Hermit. He was a little man in stature, and as a person was despised and little respected by the common folk. But he had a marvelously great heart, a clear intellect, and good understanding, and spoke well. When he came to the gate of Jerusalem, he paid the tribute of a basulat and entered the city. He was lodged in a good place. A Christian man asked this Peter continually about the governance and estate of the city, and how the Christian men were ruled by the pagans. Peter's host, who had been in the town for a long time, explained openly all the details of the past. Peter learned about how the Christians had been defiled, and how their holy places had been dishonored, which was grievous to hear. While he himself had been in the town for a while to perform his pilgrimage, he saw and perceived a great part of the citizens, among whom were the Christians. He heard them say that the patriarch was a wise and devout man named Symeon. Peter thought he would go and speak with him and ask about the condition of the churches and the people. He approached him and, finding him to be a man who feared God and was wise and understanding, began to tell him in detail all the troubles. \"Christian people. When Peter heard the sorrows from the mouth of this good man whom he believed could not restrain himself from great sighs and weeping many tears for pity, and often answered him, \"We have made many prayers and supplications to our Lord God to receive us into his mercy and grace. But we perceive well that our sins are not yet purged, for we are certainly in the guilt and blame. Our Lord, who is so righteous, holds us yet in punishment. But the renown of the countries beyond the mountains is great here. The people there, and especially the French, are good Christian people and steadfast in the faith. And therefore our Lord holds them in great peace and high power at this time. If they would pray to our Lord for pity on us or take counsel to succor us, we have certainly hope that our Lord would help us through them to accomplish our work. For you see well that the Greeks and the emperor of Constantinople, who are our enemies,\" neighbors and kinsmen may not help or counsel us, for they themselves are in the same predicament and have no power to defend their own land. When Peter heard this, he answered in this manner: \"Fair father, truth it is that you have said. For of that land am I, and God be thanked, the faith of our Lord is much better held and kept there than in any other lands that I have been in. Since I departed on my journey from my country, I believe certainly that because of the misery and servitude in which these heathen mislead people, they should find counsel and aid in your great need and work. I counsel you one thing if it is agreeable to you and seems good: that is, that you send your letters to our holy father the pope and to the kings, princes, and barons of the occident and western part. Inform them plainly how it is with you, and cry to them for mercy.\" They would support you for the love of God and on account of their faith, enabling them honor in this world and salvation in the next. Since you are the people, you have no need to make great distinctions. If you believe I am sufficient for such a message, for the love of Jesus Christ and remission of my sins, I shall undertake this voyage and offer myself to endure so much travel on your behalf. I promise truly to you that I will let them know how it is with you, if God grants me grace to arrive there. When the patriarch heard this, he took great joy. He immediately summoned the most sad and wise men of the Christian people, as well as the clergy and laity, and showed them the generosity and service of this good man. They were very glad and thanked him much. Then, without delay, they made their writings and sealed them with their seals, and delivered them to Peter Theremite.\n\n Truly, our Lord God is sweet, merciful. and for he will not suffer them to perish nor be lost who have firm and steadfast hope. And when men lack help, God sends them his aid. This is clearly seen in this work. For from whence comes that this poor man, who was a little and despised person, weary and bruised from such great journey and way, dared to undertake such a great deed and work? How might he know that the Lord would accomplish so great a work through him, as to deliver his people from the misery and captivity they had been in for nearly five years? But this courage came to him from the great charity he had in him. And the faith worked in him for the love he had for his brethren. In these days, a thing happened that greatly lifted up his heart to pursue his enterprise. For this good man, when he had taken this message and charge thereof, he went more often than he was accustomed to the holy places in the city. And on an eventide, he came to the church of the holy [place]. Peter went to the sepulcher, made prayers with great abundance of tears. After this, he slept on the pavement, and it seemed to him that our savior Jesus Christ appeared to him and charged him, \"Peter, arise quickly and go there with certainty, for I will be with you. It is now time, from henceforth, for my holy city to be cleansed, and for my people to be succored. Peter awoke at this point and was more determined than ever to follow the way and complete his journey and message. He entered and appointed his departure, and received and took leave of the patriarch. He descended and found a merchant ship that was passing to Byzantium. He entered the ship, which had good wind and arrived at the destination in a short time. Peter disembarked and went by land to Rome. He found in the country the pope, Urban, and was received by him in the name of the patriarch and of the Christian people. Sury and delivered to him their letters and said to him truly and wisely of the great sorrows, miseries, and vilenesses that Christians suffered then in the holy land, as one who was well acquainted with it, and could well tell him the truth.\n\nIn this time, Henry, the emperor of Germany, had a great dispute against Pope Gregory VII concerning Urban II. The discord arose over the rings and crosses of the bishops and archbishops, and it lasted for a long time. When the prelates were dead and their crosses were brought to the emperor, he ordered them to hold them as their bishops and archbishops without other election. He sent frequent persons who were not suitable for this. The pope begged and prayed him amicably to leave this matter of the holy church and for the salvation of his soul it pertained to nothing. The emperor would not yield easily, and with the abundance of his riches, he came to Rome and deposed and expelled the pope from his seat. wytte and reason that he ought to have by his clergy and set himself in the see, and made himself held for pope, as he who well seemed to have been it, said you before all the world, & the commandments of the gospel were much forgotten, and of holy church, And men ran fast and hastily to the works of the devil & to all sins, & when this discord and schism was so great, then all truth was gone and the faith of our savior was like as it had been altogether perished. The bishops, the abbots, and the provosts were beaten and set in prison, and all their things were taken away from them, namely by those who held of the emperor. In this debate were done all the shames and reproaches to the pope. Then the holy father saw that he was not obeyed as he should be, and that he was in danger of his life, and he went to pull himself out, by the help and counsel of Robert Guichart, who then was lord of the country. This Robert did to our holy father and to his people as much as he could. honor of service and reverence as they would take and yet more, or even lastly, the holy father went into Salerno and became sick and lay down and died there, and was buried there. The cardinals who were there chose another one named Viator, who reigned for only about one month. After him, they chose Urban, whom I spoke of before. Urban saw that the emperor was still in his prime and brought him the message from the Christian men in the holy land. Our holy father, the pope, knew well the bounty, wit, and religion that was in Peter. And he answered him most sweetly and said that he should go quickly speak to the princes and barons of the kingdom of France about this work. For if he could escape safely from the hands of the emperor, he himself had the intention to pass the mountains and draw himself toward those parties to help the work better, if it were possible. Then Peter was very glad of this good answer from our holy father and passed on. Lombardy and the Montagnes came into France, and diligently sought out the barons, as he had been sent specifically to them. He told each of them the shameful and disgraceful acts committed by the pagan people against the Christian folk in the Holy Land. He also conveyed this to the common people, assembling them frequently, and described the sorrowful state of the land and city of Jerusalem in such a way that he made many a tearful Christian weep. In the year of our Lord MLXXXV, Henry IV, King of Germany and Emperor of Rome, reigned. He was in the sixteen year of his reign and the twelfth of his empire, and in France, Philip, son of Henry, ruled. Our holy father the pope, Urban, saw that the world was greatly disturbed and turning to evil. He convened a council of prelates to address this matter. In York at Plasance, he established establishments with the counsel of the clergy and laity to tame manners. After he knew he was not secure in the power of the emperor, he passed the mountains and came into the realm of France. He found the people poorly instructed and excessively inclined to sin. Charity failed, and wars and discord were among the rich men. He thought it necessary to use his power and might to tame Christianity. He ordered a general council of all the prelates between the mountains and the see of England. This council was first held at Clonny, then at Poitiers, and the third time at Clermont in Anjou. This was in the month of November. There were many archbishops, bishops, abbots, and great prelates and persons of the holy church from these parts. Among them was Peter Hermits, who had forgotten (the reform of) the holy church, which had great need of it. not the work that he was charged with, but admonished the prelates each privately by him self and prayed the common people openly much wisely. Then our holy father took the words and showed them generally to all the council what great shame it was for all Christian men of our faith that was so near destroyed and failed in the place where it began. It might be great fear and dread when it failed at the head and well that the rivers could not endure, running through the world. And he said more wisely that all the very Christian soldiers take great despair of this deserving by their default, and his counsel to his enemies. And promised that if they would upon this pilgrimage, he would change their penance into this work. And if they died in this way, confessed and repented, he would take it on his faith. That they should immediately go into the joy of heaven. On the other side, as long as they were in the service of our lord, they were in the ward and keeping of holy church. chirche. bothe they and theyr thynges in suche wyse that they that dyde to them ony domage. shold be acursed. & alle this commanded he to be kept of alle the prelates that were atte cou\u0304seyl. This doon he gaf euery man leue. and commanded shold preche this pylgre\u2223mage and pardon. And tolde to them that alle men shold trauayll to gyue and make longe trewes and pees of the warres for tacco\u0304\u2223plysshe the better this pylgremage and to performe it.\noWr lord gaf his grace vnto our holy fader the pope in vtte\u2223ryng of the word of god\u00b7 which was said in suche wyse. that it was fyxed & roted in the hertes of them that herde hym. and not only of them that were present. but of alle other that it was recorded and told vnto. ffor the bisshops wente in to theyr coun\u2223trees & preched to theyr peple like as it was to them commanded How be it that it was a strange thyng & right greuo{us} for a man to leue his contree. his wyf. his childeren / and lygnage. And leue them that he loueth by nature. But whan one thynketh what re\u2223ward He shall have our lord's command to do so. Then he develops a fervent love for our lord within himself, abandoning the natural love of his flesh. This could be perceived and understood by the great barons and others who were inclined to sin and accustomed to doing ill, as I have mentioned before. After they heard this sermon, they became extremely zealous about the work of our lord and pledged to protect this pilgrimage, as you will hear. It seemed that every man ought to strive against the wrong and shame that the heathens did to our lord and his people in the land of Jerusalem. Husbands departed from their wives, fathers from their children, and children from their fathers. It seemed that every man would depart from that which he loved best in this world, to win the joy of that other. There was such great turmoil and commotion throughout the land that one would scarcely have found a house, but that some had embarked upon this journey. I say not all. All who went were wise and had pure intention toward our lord, for some monks left their cloisters without permission from their abbots or priors, and the recluses left the places where they had been confined, and went forth with the others. Some went forth for love of their friends to give them companionship, others went forth for worldly reasons. It was of great need that this pilgrimage was chosen at that time, for there were in the world so many sins that they drew the people away from our lord. And it was well behooved that God should send them some addressment by which they might come to heaven, and that He gave them some trial as it were a purgatory before their death. At this council, the good bishop of Puy, named Aymar, was immediately authorized for this pilgrimage. He, who later became the legate in the same host, contained himself wisely and truly. The bishop of Orange, who was a holy and religious man, also authorized it, and others who were not mentioned. At that council that undertook the same vow, our holy father had commanded and made the bishops to enforce it, that all who would undertake this pilgrimage should mark the sign of the cross on their right shoulder, for honor of him who bore the cross on his shoulders to save us, and to fulfill what our Lord says in the gospel, \"Whoever will live after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me,\" forsaking himself who clings to the flesh for saving his soul. When one of the great barons was so marked on his shoulder in a country, all the people of the country who were also marked came to him and chose him as their captain and begged him for aid and protection on the way of the said pilgrimage.\n\nIn the realm of France and Germany, Hugh, the younger brother of the king of France, Robert, earl of Flanders, Robert, duke of Normandy, son of King William of England, and Stephen, earl of Chartres and, were among those who undertook the pilgrimage. The following people were present: Earl Thibault the Old, of Ligny; Raymond, Earl of Toulouse; Godefroy, Duke of Loraine, and his brothers Baldwin and Eustace; Baldwin, Earl of Hennegau; Ysart, Earl of Reims; Rembout, Earl of Orange; William, Earl of Forests; Steuen, Earl of Aubigny; Rotrou, Earl of Perche; Hugue, Earl of Saint Pol; and many other barons and knights, including Raoul de Baug\u00e9, Evereard du Puiset, Guy de Garlande (who was also known as Sygard of Roussillon). With this group crossed a great multitude of knights and a large number of common people, which Peter Theremy gathered in the Kingdom of France and the Empire of Germany. And on the other side, the Montaignards also crossed them. Buymount, Prince of Taranto, was among them, who was soon to succeed Robert Guychart, Duke of Poitiers. Tancred was also there. The new earl's son and many other great barons of this land who were not as renowned or known as these were preparing for this pilgrimage. There were great preparations and array made for this pilgrimage. The great men had decided that as soon as winter had passed, they would embark on this pilgrimage. The common people, knights, barons, and others, after being informed of one another's plans, exchanged letters and messages to coordinate their departure and appointed the time and route. When the march began, you would have seen horses arrayed with summers palfreys and steeds, tents and pavilions, and preparations for armor. You may well know that there was much to do for many things. For the barons were agreed that they should not all go to Jerusalem, for no country could sustain or provide what was necessary for them. For this reason, their hosts never assembled until they reached the city of Nicene. The common people People charged themselves not much with tents nor armor, for they couldn't bear it. Therefore, every man equipped himself according to the money and goods as much as he supposed would be necessary for him. When the day of departing came, there were great sorrows, great weeping, and great cries at the pilgrims' departure, for there were few houses among them, and such householders that they all went and carried their wives and bore their children. The year of our Lord's incarnation was M. four score xvj. The eighth day of March came a noble gentleman, a knight named Gaultier, without knowing his surname. With him came a marvelous great multitude of people on foot. For there were few men on horseback in this company, they passed through Alsace and drew toward Hungary. The Kingdom of Hungary was surrounded by great waters and large marshes that were like land barriers. In Hungary, there was then a king, a very valiant man named Koloman. The pilgrims had great joy and got along well with the pilgrimage they had undertaken. The pilgrims passed through hunger until they reached a place: which was named Marce. This was the land of hunger leading to good peas. They entered to learn about this Gaullier, and some of his people remained behind. They came to a castle named Malleville. They went there to buy provisions they needed.\n\nThe hungry, since all the host had passed safely except for a few, attacked them. They defeated them and caused them great shame. They passed the water and came to Gaullier and showed him plainly how they had been mistreated without provocation and felt great joy and sorrow. They would have gone their way and left this behind, had they not encountered such great peril and disturbance. They continued for a long time until they came to Belle grave, which is the first city of hunger on this side. Gaullier sent to the duke of the land. The town demanded that he provide them with victuals, but he would not sell any to them. Toost was severely ill due to the lack of victuals and could not delay longer. However, a large portion of them went hunting to obtain victuals for themselves and their beasts. They found an abundance of animals in the country and brought them back to their lodgings. When the people of the country heard this, they armed themselves and assembled a large crowd. They attacked them where they had set down their provisions and fought with them. They took the animals from them and killed many. The larger part of over 100 men were kept in a monastery to keep them safe. But the ruffians came there and set fire to the church, burning all of it. Gaultier led with him many foolish people whom he could not control or put in order. He withdrew from them and took those who would be ruled by him and obey him, and went into the forests of Bongrye, a large and long vessel, passed wisely and steadily until it reached a city named Stralyce. In the countryside nearby was a duke of the land. When this duke learned of their arrival and purpose, he received them warmly. He provided them with victuals and other goods at low prices. He also made amends and returned what he could, and above all, he gave them good conduct and lodged himself with them. He commanded that they should have victuals and all other necessities at low prices and they stayed there for a while.\n\nIt was not long after that Peter the Hermit came from his country with a great multitude of people, numbering around forty thousand. He entered Loraine. He passed through France, Bavaria, and Austria, and drew near to Hungary. Peter sent messengers to the king. The pilgrims reached Hungary, seeking to pass through its realm. Hungary sent word that they would have good leave if they went in peace without disturbances and outrages. They replied that they were pilgrims of our Lord and had no talent for causing trouble. Thus, they entered Hungary's realm and passed through the land without any debate. They had enough good cheer and other things, but suffered a great outrage without cause. They saw yet the arms and spoils of their fellows who had been robbed hanging on the walls.\n\nOur pilgrims, who saw this, were all as if out of their wits and ran to arms. Each man began to act bravely. They took the town by force and killed all within, save a few who ran into the water and were drowned. Four thousand were found dead, and many more were doubtfully accounted for, as Hungary had defended the plunder for our people and had slain many of them. Hungary seemed to be growing bolder. The people of the city issued out with their belongings and drew them to the deep forests. Peter Whytes lay still at Maleville, hearing that the king of Hungary had learned of the death of his people, which made him very angry. He summoned and assembled all his power to avenge his men who had been slain, and doubted it not. Therefore, he gathered all the ships that could be found at the river's edge and made his people depart hastily with their carts and chariots. They prayed and took away great riches from Maleville's castle that they had seized when they had crossed into Hungary.\n\nThey came before Belgrave and found the city deserted. Everyone had fled. After traveling eight great journeys through many large forests, they came before a city named Nysa. This town was found strong and well fortified with great towers and strong walls. Within was a great garrison. best men of war of all the land and great abundance of armor and supplies / Peter the hermit and his host found a bridge of stone by which they passed a rushing river near the city / they passed the bridge and lodged between the water and the town. And because they had not enough food / Peter sent messages to the lord of the town / and prayed him kindly for himself and his people, the Christians and pilgrims going in the service of our lord / that they might buy victuals of the town at reasonable prices. Then the lord sent word to Peter that he would not allow / that they should enter into the town / but if he would give him good hostages / that his people should do no harm nor outrage to the people and merchants of the town coming to sell them victuals / he would send them enough at reasonable prices. When Peter and his people heard this they were glad enough. They delivered good hostages / and immediately they of the town came out with great abundance of victuals and other supplies. Things necessary for the pilgrims were refreshed greatly this night, as they had been far from any good town. And the people of the city were very courteous and reasonable towards them. In the morning, they demanded their hostages, which were gladly delivered. And they then set off in peace. However, you will now hear how the devil goes to great lengths to hinder and obstruct good works. In this company were even a few from the east. After the host had departed, the dukes assembled to the number of a hundred. And for revenge of the strife, they saw nine miles worth of men, who stood at the bridge near the town, and set fire to them immediately. This was not enough. But there was a little borough outside the city, and they set that on fire as well and burned it to ashes. And afterwards they went their way, unaware of this, as their fellowship knew nothing of it. The lord of the town, who had previously shown them great kindness, was deeply grieved by this. was half out of his wits for anger / This felony that these few did was written all over the host. Which was evil and pitiful. He made antecedently armed all the town and issued out on horseback and on foot. Himself came forward / and prayed and greatly desired his people for vengeance upon these false rowters and their outrage that they had done. When they approached the host, they first found these three malefactors who had not yet overtaken their fellows. And ran upon them and struck off their heads. It had not yet begun. But they were not content. They struck in the foremost part of the host who doubted nothing. They found chariots, summers, males, servants, women and children, who could not go as fast as the others. They slew many and some they overthrew and carried away the cargo. And thus returned into their city without harm and all bloody from the pilgrims' blood.\n\nPeter was going with the great company when a messenger came to him riding and told him of this adventure that had occurred. Peter sent immediately to those ahead of them, instructing them to return the way they had come towards the city of Niz. Upon their return, they found things that displeased them. For they found their companions, Lord, who had not intended to come among the people. Peter and the wise and prudent men he had brought with him sent some to the lord and the highest men of the city to demand by what occasion they had done this evil and cruelty against the people of our lord. They answered that this was due to the pilgrims' fault and that they had first committed great outrage by burning their mill and burgage. When Peter and the wise men who were with him heard this, they thought it was no place or time to avenge their shame. Therefore, they turned the matter into peace and accord, to recover the prayers of the prisoners and the carriage which they had led away from Thost. For there were some among the people who would not be ruled and would not allow us to have peace with them but would Peter felt this thing and immediately perceived the evil that had ensued. He sent some of the wisest and bravest of his company to make peace, but his people would not have it. He cried out in pain of death in his name and that of the barons, warning no man to break the peace that had been made. This he charged upon their pilgrimages, their fear, and the obedience they had promised him. When the host heard this, they did not relent. But foolish people went forth and made great noise and would not obey. The messengers who were in the town to arrange this matter saw that the noise grew louder and louder and returned to their fellowship without any conclusion or doing that they had undertaken. They did their best to mediate, but they had no power, for there were more than a thousand pilgrims who could not be held or restrained. But they went armed to the town in great numbers. From the town issued as many or more against them. them ther began the bataylle and the medle grete and thyk and began to slee eche other largely / Peter ne his route meuyd not / but byhelde the bataylle. They of the town that were on the walles and at wyn\u2223dowes sawe that theyr peple had the werse and apperceyued that the grete power of thoost entermeted not of this warre & thought that they wold not helpe them / And opened theyr yates and ys\u2223sued oute by grete rowtes alle armed and smote in the bataylle / And founde of our peple aboute a / v / C. vpon the brygge / And addressyd to them and slewe them alle\u00b7 sauf somme that were caste in the water / And alle were perysshed. whan the grete hoost apperceyued theyr peple thus euyl demened. they myght suffre it no lenger. but wente to Armes / and smote in to the bataylle / one aftir another lyke as they myght be armed\u00b7 the peple that had by\u2223gonne this debate were discomfyted fyrst / And began to flee so fast that nothyng myght tarye them / They began to bete them an horsbak that cam for to helpe them / by whiche The good men were discomfited. The people of the city near their retreat began to chase them closely and to slay them. When our people were withdrawing, they returned by the carriage and harnies and carried all away with them. They took women and children who could not flee and put them in prison. There were many slain and lost among the people of the host. The cart was lost that contained riches given to him in France for the purpose of sustaining and supporting the necessities of the host. Those who could escape from this discomfort drew them into the forests and hid them in deep valleys at night. On the morning, they began to call each other and to whistle and sound trumpets and drums in the woods. Thus, they began to reassemble and gathered them on a territory. By the fourth day, they were nearly all assembled about Peter. They were approximately four thousand strong. They were in great distress as those who had lost friends and people and almost all their armor. Not withstanding, they left no mercy or compassion for lack of provisions. And as they were in this state, they saw coming against them the messengers of the emperor of Constantinople, who spoke to Peter. Immediately he summoned the high men and captains of the host to assemble, and after they had spoken in this manner: \"Fair sirs, much evil news and reproach has come to our lord the emperor. For it is reported to him that you go by the emperor's court with force and rob the people who have great joy.\" The messengers directed them on the way until they came to Constantinople. They found Galaterus without savior and his people waiting for them. Then they all went to the emperor. And they lodged them in the place assigned to them. And there each told the other of their misadventures: The emperor summoned Peter. And he went to him. He saw in: The town had many things/palaces, riches, and marvels. He was a man of great heart and courage, unashamed of anything. The emperor demanded of him the state of his people and of other barons. He answered him well on all matters and said that they were poor people and had come first. But the princes and high men followed with much great people, who would not stay long. The emperor and his barons of the palace saw that Peter was so small. And they were so well, so wisely, so fairly, and so appropriately answered that they marveled greatly and allowed and praised him much. The emperor gave him great gifts and received him in his grace. And since then he let him return to his people. The eastern part of the pilgrims remained well at ease and in peace. And a while after ships were made ready by the commandment of the emperor. And they passed the sea named the Bras of St. George. And came into the land named Bythynia. This is the first party of Assyria/on the sea. They lodged them in a place called Cinintot, in the marches of their enemies. There was the host about two months, and every day they found fresh victuals to sell cheap. They were well at ease, so much so that it could not be endured for long. They began to move and made routes to go en fourage in the country. There went sometimes 10,000 or more miles the barons that were captains in the host. Nevertheless, Peter commanded and sent letters to them, ordering them to abide and not remove from the east, until the great Princes had come. On a day, it happened that Peter passed the bras, and came into Constantinople to speak for victuals, which were increasing there.\n\nThe common people saw that Peter was not there. And they were the more daring; they assembled and were of a company well eight thousand on foot and three hundred on horseback. They made their battles and went all in order toward the city of Nicene against the will and defense of all the great men. When they approached this great city, they attacked the towns surrounding it and took numerous large and small beasts. They gained much wealth and returned safely without harm, back to the east with great joy and festivities. The rude and hardy dukes, who saw this glory and this wealth that they had gained, harbored great envy towards them. They were incited by covetousness to assemble all of that tongue, numbering around three thousand foot soldiers, and marched straight towards Nicene. There was a castle at the foot of a hill near Nicene, at least four miles away. These dukes came there and began to besiege the castle fiercely. They defended themselves as long as they could, but it was of no avail; for the castle was taken by force. The dukes entered and found all those within. They slaughtered men, women, and children mercilessly. They fed them with victuals and other things within. Solyman, lord of this country and its governor, had heard long before that the Christian people of the Kingdom of France were planning to go into the land of Syria. They had asked permission to pass through his land. Therefore, he had been on the lookout since then and had brought a large number of knights and other people to keep his land and harm his enemies who would pass through there. He was then moving towards our people. Solyman and his people were in the mountains and woods. He heard that this duke had taken his castle and killed his men, and came the most hastily he could to besiege the castle and took it without delay. He beheaded all those he found. The news reached the host that Solyman had killed all the duke and his companions. They were very sorry and there was a great cry. The people in the lodgings showed great contempt for her, and spoke shrewdly among themselves. They argued that the barons of the east should not endure this. They should ride out and avenge the blood of their brothers, shed so near at hand. The great men of the east, who knew more of war and other things than the common people would have allowed, said this could still be amended. The emperor's council agreed, and it was true that they should await the coming of the grandees. However, the foolish folk were not content with these words. They had a captain named Godfrey Bourg. He brought them into such a state of reverie and murmuring that they spoke loudly and rudely against the knights. They declared clearly that they were untrue and evil, and that they did not let this be avenged by wisdom but for great cowardice.\n\nIt often happens that the worse counsel overcomes the better, and it is no marvel. For there are more fools than wise men. These men. The people and without reason made them so much noise and cried, that the barons and other men with them ran to arms, both on horseback and on foot. There were about 25,000 on foot and 5,000 on horseback, all well arrayed. They formed their battalions and went forth in order towards the mountains, by the woods narrowing towards Nicene. They had not been departed three miles, when Solyman, who had a great multitude with him, appeared before them: for he came all covered and secretly in the wood, to make an assault, in the east of the pilgrims. But when he heard the noise and commotion in the forest, he knew well that they were the Christian men coming against him, and allowed them to pass. He himself with all his people drew himself incontinently out of the wood into the plain where they should pass. Our people were issued, they paid no heed to him, and suddenly with their fellowship fell upon our men with their spears and swords, to defend their brethren. The heathen men saw on that other side. side that certainly they would fight & that every man did his best, received them much fiercely. The battle began much cruelly, and many were dead on both sides. The battle lasted long, but Solyman had much more people on horseback whom the pilgrims could no longer endure. They began to flee without order and were discomfited. The Turks followed them afterwards, killing all they could reach until they came to their lodging. Gaultier Sans-Avoir, Regnald de Broyes, and Fouquer Dorleans, who were good and valuable knights, were almost all slain and brought into prison. Of the twenty-five men and five hundred men on horseback, only three could be found to rally. But they were taken.\n\nThis victory brought Soliman great pride & in great severity dwelled. There was neither door nor window there. The pilgrims fled around a tall tree and came and had great need. A messenger went over the remnant safely. In an old house, as it was said, there were great troubles that were in much danger if they had not had prompt assistance. Peter was greatly ashamed and had merciless great sorrow. Nevertheless, he immediately went to them and fell at their feet, praying to him for God's sake to send help to these poor people who were in great peril, or they would all be dead. The emperor, who greatly loved Peter, sent his messengers there immediately and commanded the Turks to leave their assault and depart. They went away promptly when they had heard the emperor's commandment, but they took prisoners, tents, pavilions, and other things with them. And with all these, they returned to Nicene. Here you may hear how much people were lost due to the folly of the common people, who would not endure the governance of the wise men above them. Here men can well see that it is great peril to trust to the battle or war of those who do not know. It is said that Pieter was welcomed into the land by me, as I have mentioned before. It was not long after that a priest named Godescalc had preached in Duchalonde, just as Peter the Hermit had done in France. And he came with his people to embark on this pilgrimage, for he had gathered an army of forty thousand men. They all entered the land of Hungary, for the king had commanded that they should be received generously since they were his neighbors. And they should have provisions and other necessities at reasonable prices. Those who found the land welcomed them and began to stay there all winter. And because they had plenty, they grew proud. They took away the provisions and other things and led away the beasts from the fields. They took wives away from their husbands and killed them. And for no reason, they committed these atrocities.\n\nThe king of the land heard the news of this people and was greatly disturbed and saddened. And with his honor, he could no longer endure it. The king suffered it lest it should turn to excessive harm to his land and subjects. He assembled many people on horseback and on foot to confront the duke. The king had seen and heard of the outrages they had committed in his realm, in a place called Bellegraue. The duke and they knew well that they had not been well governed towards him, but had done many ill turns and wrongs in his land. Wherefore they did not deserve his grace and his love: Nevertheless, they took up arms and said that they would defend themselves from the hunger, and would never die for nothing, but would first sell their lives dearly. When the king and the hunger saw this, they thought that this people were very strong and hardy, and there all appeared dispirited. And saw that he might not overcome them without great loss of his people in that manner, and left the force of battle, and took him to [an uncertain word] Subtility and falsehood are rampant among people who are full of base deceit and trickery. The king and his hangers-on sent messages to Godwyn and the great men of the company, deceiving them with fair words of peace. They spoke to them in this manner:\n\nGreat complaints and much foul repute have come to the king of your fair lords, who has sent us here. He has heard it said that you have not kept faith or truth with any of your hosts. Instead, you have taken from them what they had and beaten and killed them. You have taken their daughters and wives and committed such outrages against them as should not be spoken of. The merchants and other people you encounter on the roads are not safe. Do not trust them and do not quit from you without being robbed and plundered. Of these things the king has great complaints. Nevertheless, the king knows well that not all of you are at fault. Among you there are many good men and wise ones whose folly this greatly reveals. And the outrages of the malefactors who have so angered the king. The king and his people / Therefore the king will not place the fault of one party upon all, nor is it right that the true pilgrims should pay the tolls of the wicked, and doubts taking vengeance upon you all / wherefore we advise you to appease the king in this manner / And we promise you in good faith that you shall never suffer harm, offer or lose all your things in his will & in his mercy / without making any appointment with him, if you will not do so. You see well. You have not the power against him, for you are in the midst of his realm. And may not escape him. God's mercy and the great men of his host, to whom these outrages greatly displeased, and the foolish people trusted well in the words that they had brought to them. And had great hope in the king's eyes & mercy. They called the people / advised and prayed them that they would render their armor, they would not do it. & said there should never come good to them to place themselves under such untrustworthy people. Nevertheless, at the... Last they did, at the counsel and will of the wise men. They delivered their harnesses and all that they had at the king's command. When they supposed they had gained their lives, they ran to their deaths; for the hungry assaulted them in the midst of them, all armed. And of this point they took no heed; they began to sleep and strike off heads without discernment, good or evil. They slew so many that they waded in the blood up to the half leg. It was sorrowful and pitiful to see their bodies of such fair people slaughtered in the streets and fields. Some managed to escape who went among the others and returned to their country, and told of this misfortune and treachery. By which they taught all the pilgrims they encountered that they should not trust the people of the hungry.\n\nIn a little time after this great occurrence, which I have related before, a large crowd of people had assembled on foot, yet there were among them high men and good knights. But the common people obeyed them. Among them were Thomas de Ferencault of Vendueyl, Guillem Carpenter, and the count Herman. These people, who were on foot, committed many evils and outrages in their way. Among them arose a madness and a rage, which they could not prevent from killing all the Jews in all the places and towns through which they passed. They killed a remarkable number at Cologne and at Marseille, and in other places. In these areas, as they went, there was an earl, a truly noble lord named Emygon. When he saw these people, he joined their company to go on this pilgrimage with them. He neither rebuked nor chastised the misguided people, but encouraged them to do evil deeds. They passed through Franconia and Bayere so far that they reached a town named Mezebors. Supposedly, they would have passed through there hungry without gaining anything, but when they came to the bridge, it was defended and closed. There was a fortification on one side. with the river of the dunoe, and on that other side with the river named lintans. The remnant was encircled by a deep marsh within the fortress. Within the fortress was great plenty of people well armed, therefore it was not light to pass that town by force. For the king of Hungary had well understood the coming of this people. And on horseback were no more than three thousand. They doubted much that they, when they had entered into his land, would avenge a thousand speeches throughout all the land. Prayed them of the fortress to suffer them to lodge there whyls in those places that were full of pastures before the pass.\n\nA little while they tarried who went to the king but returned anon, for they might not delay from such things as they held. They entered into his land, when they of the east suddenly retreated. They were much angered, for they had traveled and spent, took the men and plundered all the country. While they took the fortress of Hungary, and without leave. they passed through the land. Then they began to summon and encourage every man to do well. They took poles and made scaffolds in great numbers. Which they set against the walls. And mounted up, covered with their shields and targets, and assaulted it fiercely. Many picked with pikes and mined the walls with great force, so that those within seemed nearly ready to enter. For those within defended slowly, as men were afraid in their hearts. For they supposed the enemy was imminent. And suddenly fear and dread came upon the pilgrims, who thought they were about to be slain. And then, from the scaffolds, flew down and did not tarry, but fled suddenly. The hungry, when they saw this, could scarcely believe it. For they saw no reason why. Nevertheless, when they appeared again, they descended and began to follow the chase. In such a way that those next in front of them... almost all taken and enslaved. In this adventure, none other reason was found except that the people were so full of sin that they did not deserve the love of our lord nor the honor of the world. And therefore their sins were rewarded in such a way that they could not accomplish this great work, which they had nearly achieved. The earl of Emicon returned to his country with a great number of people, discontented. The other barons of France, whom I have named earlier, went to Lombardy and then to Piedmont. They learned there that some of the great barons had passed into Duras and from there into Greece. They followed them. In this way, the people of France were dispersed and of the countries by the way were much harsher, and if they could have gone it, and had not been disturbed by their folly, but the others who came after them forced them to go more wisely and more in peace. August was the month in the year of the Incarnation of. Our lord, M, duke of Loragne, the 55th day of the same month, gathered those who were to be his companions on this journey. He came from his country with such great apparatus as befitted his estate, accompanied by his brother Bawdwyn, Earl of Henande; Huge, Earl of Saint Pol; Euerard, his valiant young son; Garnier, Earl surnamed of Grees; Bernard, Earl of Toul; Pieter, his brother; and Baudwyn de Bors, cousin to the duke. Henry Dasque and good knights were also with them. These men were such good friends and wise among them that in no way would they depart from one another. They all came together with their belongings to Osteryche on the 20th day of September. There is a town named Tailleborch there, where a river named Herd runs, and its people were suffering from hunger. They assembled and agreed to send messengers and letters to the king of Hungary. The wise and noble Godfrey, Duke of Anjou, wishes to know by what occasion the other pilgrims, whom they considered as fellows and companions, were put to death by you. They have found many who have escaped and marvel that you and your people, who claim to be Christian, have thus destroyed the good company that was formed to enhance the faith of Jesus Christ, in such a way that their most bitter enemies would not have done worse. They desire to know if it was due to the fault of the pilgrims. For if you have done it in the name of justice or in defending yourself and your lands or in some other way that they would understand and take, they would take it more lightly. But if it was done without their knowledge or consent. They came to avenge or hate those who had harmed or murdered them. Those who sent us here let this be known to you. They have left their own countries to seek revenge for the wrongs and outrages inflicted upon our lord's people. And if they find that you have done the same, they will not proceed further until they have avenged the death of our lord's pilgrims. Godefroy, who spoke these words to the king, made an end.\n\nThe king was in his palaces, where he had a great assembly of barons from his realm and other people. In response, he answered and said, \"Godefroy, it pleases me greatly that you have come to this country to speak to me. It is a great thing for me for two reasons. The first is that you are one of my acquaintances and have been my friend for a long time. We will affirm and renew our loves and our acquaintances in your coming. The second reason is that I know you to be a wise, reasonable, and good-willed man. I am very joyful that you will be here to hear me.\" We have the name of the Christians, but we lack their works. Those who went before us with Peter the Hermit and Godfrey did not have the works of pilgrims or of Christians. We received Peter the Hermit and his people in our lands and towns with great generosity, and we provided them with supplies and other things. But like the serpent that bites or stings him who keeps it warm in his bosom, they have rewarded us for our good deeds. In the kingdom of Hungary, when they ought to thank us and render gratitude to God and their friends, they took by force one of our best castles and put to death all who were there. They carried off the livestock with them. They took all the maidens of the town like robbers and thieves. The company of Godfrey came after them, but they did not wait for them to make amends until the end of our realm. Instead, as soon as they entered and passed through, They began to make all the atrocities they could. They burned the towns, slaughtered men, enforced women, and took away all things. They did so much that for their transgressions, they were worthy of hate from God and the world. We, who are here in this place and in this time, by which we ought to protect the people, could not endure this destruction of our people and our country any longer. But we have been compelled to defend ourselves. The third company came also with foot soldiers. We doubted the noise and debate in such a way that we would not allow them to enter our land or come among us. Our lord, who has all the words and knows all things, knows well that it is thus, and I have told you no falsehood. Now we ask you to excuse us for speaking of it elsewhere. After he had said this, he sent messengers to their inns, where they received great honor and hospitality. The king took counsel with his barons and appointed his own messengers, whom he sent to Duke Godfrey and to the princes who were coming. He had spoken to Godfrey of this, and greatly honored him. The king sends you word that he knows certainly by reputation that you are a man of high lineage, wise and true of heart, prudent and valiant in body. Your prowess is renowned in many lands. For these reasons, our lord the king, who has never shown you disrespect and loves you much in his heart, has great desire to do you honor. The pilgrims who are with you, and who have undertaken such a high pilgrimage, are esteemed and desired by him. He considers himself fortunate that he may serve and show favor to such a valiant man. Therefore, to you, fair lord, and to the high men of your company, be this letter a greeting. prayeth / re\u2223quyreth and demandeth for a synguler yefte. that it wold plese you to come see hym at one his castel named Cipe\nwHan the duc and his barons had herd the messager thus speke he drewe them a parte and toke counseyl / They acor\u2223ded wel that the duc shold goo. he sente for suche companye as hwold haue / And wente forth with thre honderd horse withoute mpassed the brygge / and fonde the kynge whiche made to hym grete ioye and moche honour\u00b7 And long they spak to gydre / And the kynge excused hym of the deth of the pylgryms / vnto the duc / lyke as he had doon to the messagers / At thende the kyng cam so to poynt that they were appeased goodly / The kyng acorded to hym the pas\u00a6sage thurgh his royamme / yf he wold sette hym suche hoostages as he shold chese for to kepe the pees / Alle this was graunted / And he demanded in hostage Bawdwyn brother of the sayd duc his wyf and her maygne / they were delyuerd to hym gladly.

The duke also commanded and had it proclaimed that no one dare take anything from the land or do any wrong. Instead, they should be considered allies and brothers. This is how they passed through, all hungry, without any strife or noise. The king rode nearby on the left side, leading his hostages with him, ready to seize them if any disturbance arose. Finally, they reached Malleus, which you have heard about before, standing on the Dunoc river's edge. They passed by ship, but beforehand, he had set over a thousand well-armed men to guard the army on the other side. When the hostages were brought to him that were delivered to him, he made them much joy and honor at their departure, and gave to each great rewards. yifts and rich after he took leave and returned home again, The duke and the barons passed over with their people and came to Belgrave, a city of the hungry which we have spoken of before, And there they lodged. After they passed through the woods, until they came to the city of Nys and Strayice,\n\nHere may be known the evil disposition and deceit of the Greeks, for since the Byzantines had failed in Constantinople, the Turks came upon the Greeks, the first of whom was Nicophores. Immediately, the barbarians who were with them \u2013 the Blacks and the Comans, who were of Hungary, which are towards the east, supplied and took these lands that were so good and plentiful. They conquered all from Danube to Constantinople, And on the other side to the Adriatic Sea,\n\nThere is a city in Lombardy near the land of the marquess named Adre, & is right a little city, But because it is near the sea of Venice and Ancona, this sea has the name of the Adriatic Sea in writing. This sea The people of Thebes, near Constantinople, were well accustomed to the Greeks. Their journey was long, and they had passed through a country named Epirus. The chief city is Duras, where Pyrrhus once ruled. Another city is Mayene, located in the middle of the land, where there are also noble cities such as Nysa and Stratus. In this land were Archadia, Thessaly, and Macedonia. Each of these lands was called Trace, and all were conquered by the Greeks. However, there was an Emperor named Basilius who later recovered these lands. He brought the Bulgars and the Vandals long before this time, enabling the Danish March and the Eastern March to regain some of their power. Yet the Greeks would not allow these lands to be repopulated or cultivated again, for fear that they would be reoccupied. The Greeks held it as a strength, and nothing should be found there. Therefore, none should inhabit it. in espierre, where the extend from Duras to a mountain named Bagulapass, the other barons passed. But the Duke and his company passed by Danemarche and La Mancha another way. They came upon a desolate place, named the Cloys. And since they descended into a plain, they found great abundance of victuals and pastures. They came to Aherd, as it was said, and indeed it was true that the Emperor of Constantinople had imprisoned Huon le Maine, brother of the King of France, and many other barons who came with him. For these noble men were hasty and came into Lombardy into Puylles. From there they passed to Duras and stayed to wait for the other barons, who were supposed to come to the parties. They did not suppose that they would have doubted anything in the land of the Greeks who were Christian, like themselves. But the bailiff of Duras took the most prominent barons and sent them in irons to the Emperor of Constantinople to do with them as he pleased. He held them in prison and awaited the coming of the other barons, because if they had arrived, he would not have dared to act against them. They came with great power; he would gladly receive them for their love. If they did not come with great might, he thought not lightly to let them pass. When Duke Godfrey and the other barons heard news of this imprisonment, they took good messengers and sent them with their letters to the emperor. They prayed and warned him that he should send without delay this high and noble man, Humphrey de Bois, and all his company, for they held him as lords: brothers and fellows of this pilgrimage. In this time, the emperor was a Greek, much false and full of trickery, named Alexis Comnenus. He was much acquainted and privy with that other emperor, Nicophorus Botomites, in such a way that he made him his steward. He was the greatest man of the land besides the emperor. By his malice, he procured evil and harm against his lord by the assent of great people who were about him. and took him and held him in his prison for six years before our pilgrims arrived there. The messengers of the Duke and other barons demanded that Emperor Huon le Maingre release him, as they had been commanded, as well as the other prisoners. The Emperor answered them briefly that he would not deliver them. They returned to their host and told him the Emperor's response.\n\nWhen the Duke and other barons heard this, they were very angry. They concluded among themselves that they would make war against him for holding such a high-ranking prince in prison and refusing to respond by measure or reason. They abandoned their host to take control of the land where they were. They gathered all the men they could find and burned all the towns. They remained in these areas, destroying the entire country, causing great damage and harm, and a great deal of plunder and other gains came into the barons' host.\n\nThe Emperor sent word to the Duke and to the other barons, They should hold their people in peace. And that he would deliver Main and the other prisoners. They agreed and acceded gladly. And came with all their battalions ranked and in order to face Constantinople. As for the siege of the town, Anon issued out from Main. Dancelle/Guylla and Clarembault de Venduel entered and thanked him much and all the others of their deliverers. The duke and the host received them with much great joy, for they had great anxiety and fear.\n\nWhile they spoke thus, messengers came from the emperor to the duke. They requested, in their lord's name, that he would enter with a few of his company into the town and come speak with the emperor. The duke had consulted on this matter and answered that he would not yet enter the town when the emperor heard this. He had great contempt for this and defended against any doubt that they would yet do worse. Therefore, he commanded his marches to: They should go into the host and sell to them such things as they needed. The day of Christmas or of the Nativity of our Lord approached. Therefore, the Duke and the Barons cried in the host that no man should delay or trespass in the four days. Meanwhile, the messengers of the emperor came, speaking much to the barons, saying that they would cross the bridge and come on the side of the palaces which was named Blaquernes. For there, all the host could lodge in great houses which were near St. George's Bridge. They said this for trickery and deceit. New snow fell. The pavilions rotted and could not hold out the rain. Horses and poor people could not endure it. Therefore, the emperor took this opportunity to send to the host and ordered them to pass toward the town. He seemed to have great pity on them, but his intention was otherwise. He did this to enclose them in a more confined place. They should not enter the country. He might have great difficulty understanding how the barons were surrounded by the emperor's disloyalty. The city of Constantinople, noble and famous, stands there. The sea, which is in Venice, is nearly a mile from Constantinople. An army, like a fresh water stream, extends towards the east, two and a half miles long. It is not even, for in some places it is a mile wide, and in others it is wider. It runs between the ancient cities of Sextus and Byzantium. One of these cities is in Asia, and the other in Europe. Constantinople is in Europe. The other part, which is in Asia, is called Nicene. This broad arm or army, most expansive towards the sea, is said to be easier than the sea itself. Constantinople, which resembles a rod with a portal, stands near it. triangle. The first side is beside the champagne of walls of ditches of towers and of barbicans. At the port descends a fresh water running, which is little in the summer, but in winter it becomes great for the rain. This water has a bridge on which our men passed over, which is enclosed between the great sea and the bras, behind the yate, where they lodged for a delay, coming of other barons. Themperor sent often his messengers to the duke. And sent for him to come and speak with him. The duke doubted much his treachery and would not go. But to make it clear that he took it not for evil, he sent to him three noble men: that is, Canon de Montagu, Henry Dasque, and Bawdwin de Bort. And excused himself by them, that the barons who were with him would not counsel him to go and speak with him until the other barons were come. Themperor was much enraged and defended against any truces being sold to the host. And did yet worse, for he sent mourning ships. The duke was surrounded suddenly by a large number of archers as he was lodged there. They shot an immense number of arrows in such a way that they killed many people on the sea side. They also injured many by the doors and windows.\n\nWhen the duke and other barons heard this, they did not seize or take it. They took five hundred men, well-armed knights, and went first to the bridge and kept it. They saw that the entire city was mustered and armed to come upon them. Our men were then alerted that those of the town were their enemies. They set fire to the houses where they were lodged, and in others where they suspected and feared there were five to seven thousand or more. In such a way, some of the emperor's own houses were burned. After they died, they sounded their trumpets and went in order towards the bridge, for they doubted much that those of the town would come there to defend them. But, as I have said, Bawdyn, the duke's brother, had already taken it. The Greeks, whom he had pursued far away, passed over into the country. They were all arrested in order in a fair plain, near the church of St. Cosme and Damian, now known as the palaces of Buymont and Blacquerne. When the event was near, many were killed from the town and the others, not as many. The Greeks could no longer endure it. The pilgrims discomfited them and chased them, killing and capturing as many as they could reach, forcing them into the town. Then they returned, victorious, and lodged in the plain. The Greeks were greatly swollen with anger over the loss of so many men and their disgrace. They began to organize through the town how they might issue out with more affray and strength than before. But the night came, disrupting their counsel. This was an evident thing that The emperor ordered every man, on pain of death, to arm himself on horseback and on foot. The captains of some battalions were ordered to lead the people in foraging. The others were put in order to keep their lodgings, for they clearly perceived that the emperor pursued all the evil he could. Those who went for provisions withdrew them well, covering a distance of sixty miles. They pillaged all the towns they found and brought back corn, wine, beasts, and other riches. The land was so full that they could not convey all of it. They were out for six days and then returned to the host with all this marvelous gain. While they contained themselves thus, messengers came from Byzantium to the duke and delivered to him letters in their lord's name. In these letters, the duke was praised as he should be. Afterward, they said:\n\n\"Know ye, sire,\" they said. that you are dealing with a treacherous man, who always sets his heart and intentions on deceiving those who trust him, particularly hating the Latins to death and doing as much harm as he can to our people. If you have not yet realized this, you will know it all in due time as I tell you. I know well the malice of the Greeks and the treachery of the emperor. Therefore, I implore you, withdraw from Constantinople and return to the plains of Adrianople or Sympolae, and there you may winter where there is great abundance of all good things. And I myself, if it pleases God, will come as soon as the spring arrives, and I will join you and help you, as my lord and friend, against the treacherous prince who intends to do evil to Christendom, when the duke had heard these letters through the counsel of his barons, he sent him other letters in response, which spoke thus: we thank you. The princes greatly rejoice with us because of the love and truth you have sent us. And you can be certain that we have found the prince and the people of the Greeks to be as you rightly believe. We know well that you say it out of wisdom and truth. But we doubt that we shall return and convert against those who bear the name of Christian, as we ourselves do. We attend and eagerly desire your coming. If God wills, when you shall come, we shall take you to our council.\n\nThe emperor was deeply anxious among his private counselors. He considered how he might appease the duke and his people because he had heard great and frequent clamors about the destruction of their country. And because he knew that Buymot's messengers had come and brought tidings that he would come quickly, he sent his messengers back to the duke and begged him to come speak to him. If he had any doubts, he would send his son John as a hostage into his host. This message pleased the duke greatly. The barons heard this and sent Canon de Montagu and Baldwin de Borgh to receive the hostage. They received him and delivered him to Baldwin, the brother of the Duke, who remained to rule and govern the host and keep the hostage. The Duke and other barons went to Constantinople to see the emperor, who greatly desired them. The Greeks showed them great joy and marveled at whatever they thought. The emperor kissed them all and asked each one his name to honor him. They were well received by all those in the palaces. Finally, the emperor sat on his throne, and the barons gathered around him. They said to the Duke, \"We have often heard it said in this land that you are of high lineage, have great power in your country, and are a good knight and true. For the faith of Jesus Christ, you have entered into war against the malefactors and heathen people, who greatly afflict the Christian people.\" for all these things we praise you and love you in our hearts, and will honor you with the greatest honor we can, for you are worthy and worthy. It pleases us and our barons that we choose and grant to you as our son, and we put our empire into your hands. Keep it as our son in good estate and in terms of love from this time forth. When he had said this, he did himself be clothed with the robe of an emperor, and sat by him. Then the barons made a great feast and solemnity for him according to the custom of the land in such things. And thus was the peace agreed upon between the princes, and also between the people.\n\nWhen this was done, the treasury of the emperor was opened, and was presented to the duke and his fellowship. There were great gifts and great riches, so much so that it was marvelous to see. There was great abundance of gold and silver, and of precious stones. Many rich silken clothes were there, and variously shaped vessels which were marvelous to behold. of our people marveled much at this great richesse / These yields ceased not at the first time / but from the day of Epiphany / until the gold, copper and tin he gave to him. Every myriad is four bushels. But the duke distributed all these things to knights / and all around where he saw / that it should be well employed. When they had been with the emperor a little while, they held them honorably as hostages. The emperor decreed on pain of death / that no man should harm them / but should sell to them all manner of ways at reasonable prices. The duke likewise decreed. They lived in much peace / when March came. The duke knew well / that the other barons would come / and perceived well that the emperor's will was / that he would pass with his people the bras of St. George. To the same accorded the barons and the others of the host / And said to the emperor that he would pass over / And he at once made ready many ships & passed well all. and came to Calcedonia about the City of Calcedom. In this city, we write that during the time of Pope Leo and Marcyen the emperor, one of the four great councils assembled there, with about 350 prelates, to condemn an heresy. A Monk named Entises had discovered this heresy, and there was the host lodged easily, for whoever had business in Constantinople could pass through it twice or thrice in a day. The reason why the emperor made the duke pass was so that the hosts of the barons who were coming should not assemble too near him. He treated similarly the other barons who came after, for he never lodged two together.\n\nAfter this manner, the emperor and Duke Goodfroy were content. But Buymont, the son of Robert Guichart, prince of Taranto, had passed the Adriatic Sea and come to Dura. When all his host had arrived, he took his way through the deserts of Bourgogne and went on. In his retinue were many noble men: Tancre, son of Graal the marquis; Richard, son of William Ferrobe; Robert Guichart's brother, Raymont; Robert Hanse; Herman of Carin; Robert of Sourdeval; Robert Fitz Crispin; Umfrey Fitz Raoul; Richard, son of Ranyol, Earl of Rousygnol; Ogan of Chartes; Anbery of Cannac; and Umfrey of Montygneux. All these had made him their captain. They came into the city of Castore and held the feast of Christmas there, keeping it merrily. But because they of the country would not sell to them anything that made them enemies, they were forced to go on a foraging expedition. They brought great prey and good gain, which they did much harm to the entire country. After they came into the land of Pelagome, which is very good and fertile, and lodged them there. The herds say that nearby was a castle where all the people of the land had taken refuge for its strength. Only miscreants lived there. Buymont and his men armed themselves and went there. They found great riches in the town and many grand projects which they put into operation. Afterward, they set fire to the town, and slew all who emerged with their swords. The remaining people, both men and women, they burned alive. The emperor heard that Buymont came with a great following. He had great suspicions and was wary of him, for he had long had disputes against him, and he always had the worse end. The soldiers of the emperor and all those entering military service mustered and marched to these parties. The emperor commanded his constables to cost Buymont dearly with as many people as they could assemble, to cause him annoyance at the water named Bardare. And he inflicted damage only upon them, so that they would come upon him strongly. He had cautiously arranged matters behind them. But in front, as he was very disloyal and could make things seem otherwise than they were, he sent to Buynt, his great men, and through them letters, very persuasive and of fair words, and of great bounties, which were as follows:\n\nThe selling was very fair, and afterwards he said, \"We know certainly that you are a high prince and a noble and valiant man's noble son. For this great reason we praise you and hold you dear. And also because you have entered, with such good heart and good will, into the service of our lord, and the pilgrimage which is due. Show by deed our grace that we have thought of you. Therefore we pray and request that you command your people not to harm our people. Hasten, then, to come to us all surely. For you will have honor and profit thereby.\" Our messengers, who come to us by our commandment, should have a reasonable market of victuals and all other things. The appearance of these words was fair, but there was much venom and felony hidden beneath. Buymont, who was wise and knowing many things, had often bought the disloyalty of the emperor. He received these words with a semblance of gratitude and thanked him by mouth and in letters that he intended to write and send. He considered himself a small man against him and used courteous words and the like. These messengers, who had come thus, conducted the host to the river Bardre. When the enemy followed them, they found their point. They launched an attack on the part of the host that had not yet passed and numbered many more of them than ours. The noise and cry were great. Tancre, who was very apt and bold, had passed half the river, which was great, but when he: Herd this man returned swiftly and discomfited two of the most noble among them, vigorously putting them to flight. He took many of them alive, bringing them before Buymont. Buymont demanded of them in the presence of all why they had fled against the Christian men, who were also subjects of their emperor and friend. They answered that they were servants and soldiers of the emperor, bound to carry out his commandments. All present could see that Herd's fair words were deceitful and treacherous, but Buymont, who was wise and knew he must pass through the pyre, feigned ignorance and made merry with these men to bolster his courage. This displeased some of his barons. Buymont and his host went so far into the countryside that they approached Constantinople. When the emperor learned that Buymont had sent great messengers to him, pray the knight entierely to leave his host and come speak with me privately. Buymont was unsure what to do, for he was in danger from such a great man. One the one hand, he doubted the man would anger, and on the other, he knew his deceitfulness and had well perceived that he did not love him. Therefore, he feared to go to him while he was in this dilemma. However, the Duke Godefroy came to him on the Thursday before Easter. The duke had begged him so much that the Duke went to him to bring him to the emperor. When the duke and Buymont met, they made great joy to greet each other and spoke of many things. After the duke entered to pray him to come to his father, the emperor, Buymont was reluctant to accede to his prayer and request. But with great effort, the duke persuaded him through prayer, and he went. The emperor received him with great honor and joy and kissed him. Afterward, he spoke much to him and to the others. Buymont, at the council of the duke, made homage to the emperor with his hands and swore fealty to him. Then you would have seen come out of the emperor's treasury many great riches: gold, silver, vessels, precious stones, and silk clothes, so much that it was beyond praise, while Buymont remained in the palaces. His new son, Tancre, of his sister, who was wise and well-born, did not wish to see or speak to the emperor. Instead, he made all the host pass over St. George's bridge and lodge near Calcedonia, where the other barons' troops had been encamped. When the emperor knew that Tancre had slighted him, he was very angry, but he showed no sign of it. As one who could conceal his anger well, he made great festivities for the barons who were with him, and every day he gave them great gifts and new things. After they departed with his leave and passed over the bridge with the others, they encamped and awaited the coming. The other barons received great provisions and other things from the city of Constantinople and the surrounding area. Robert, Earl of Flanders, who had come before winter to besiege the city of Pulle where the body of St. Nicholas lies, had crossed the sea and disembarked at Dura. He had wintered there in a fair and plentiful place. But as soon as fair weather began, he set out and hurried to join them. He received their messengers who said to him in the name of the emperor that he should leave his host and come see the emperor and speak with him and a few of his men. He demanded to know how the other barons had acted towards him. Therefore, he came to Constantinople with a few of his companions. The emperor received him with great honor. They spoke of many things and after that, he did homage and made peace with all the people who had remained and sojourned there by the will of the emperor. He led his people across. And he himself went after to the other barons, who with great joy received him. They spoke much to each other about their affairs on the way, and often they were in council. They were greatly displeased for tarrying with the other barons. It was not long before the messengers of the Earl of Toulouse and of the bishop of Puy arrived. They reported that their lords were coming and would be there soon.\n\nThese two noblemen departed from their lands with a great number of people. They were accompanied by many valiant and powerful men from their countries. The first were William, bishop of Orange; Raymond, earl of the same city; Gaston de B\u00e9dej\u00e8res; Girault de Roussillon; Guillem de Montpellier; Guillem, earl of Foix; Raymond P\u00e9l\u00e8s; C\u00e9nton de B\u00e9art; Guillem d'Aumelas; and many other barons, very worthy men, who left their lands for the service of our lord. Countries. Their lineages and all their delights. They all came into Illyria, called Istria, from thence into Dalmatia. Which is a great country between Hungary and the Adriatic Sea. There, before Archbishops Iader, Spalato, Antibar, and Ragusa. The people of that country are cruel and much accustomed to robbing and sleeping. There are mountains, and the land is full of deep waters running. And large marshes in such a way that there is little arable land. Beasts there are in great abundance in the pastures by which they live. Nevertheless, those who dwell near the sea live in a different manner of habit and language, for they speak Roman, and the others speak not but as they are nursed. The noblemen I spoke of came into this land. And there they had many great trials and diseases due to the harsh winter and the ill-supplied country. They endured marvelous suffering, for all the people of the country had fled in fear of the pilgrims. The earl and his men took refuge in mountains. They carried all their things from there and pursued the pilgrims. They killed all the old, sick, and weak who lagged behind the host. The earl, who was wise, took charge of the host. He sent other barons ahead. He kept a large guard with well-armed people around him. The land, as I mentioned before, is full of rivers and running waters, lakes and marshes. A great swamp arises every day. On the other side, the slaves and Dalmaces, who knew the places and the countryside, made many assaults at certain places and showed many of the unarmed. The earl and the good men of the host enclosed them and killed many of them. Many more would have been killed if the woods and their ranks had not intervened. They left their feet and hands in the way for others to see, and remained in that land for three weeks in great parley. In great misery. After they came to a castle named Serdre, they found the king of Slavonia. The earl, who was well spoken of, spoke much fair to him and gave him large gifts and jewels, hoping thereby to have kept his people in peace. And to have done more villainous things than before. Thus they were four weeks in this sorrow. For they were forty days passing through this country. Afterward they came to Duras.\n\nTiberius had the earl under suspicion because he knew that he was a very wise man and of great courage. And he had heard that he had a great number of good men with him. Therefore he sent noblemen from his land to Duras with letters from Tiberius, which spoke in this manner after the salutation:\n\n\"The good reputation that comes to you through the world.\" He has made us certain promises that you are a man of great wisdom and great prowess, and require a great gift. Request that your people pass through our lands without outrages and do no harm. Hurry to come to us all safely to receive our grace and our bounty. We have commanded provisions and other necessities to be prepared for them, for they had long suffered great diseases. They took their way through forests and mountains and passed through the land of Epirus. Afterward, they came to Pelagonia where they found much great abundance of all goods. The valiant bishop of Poitiers lodged him one day far from the host in a fair place that he found. And in the night, the barbarians assaulted him in his lodgings and took him. But because he was necessary to Christendom, our lord saved him, for one of the barbarians demanded gold from him. Therefore, he defended him from the others. Meanwhile, the noise was heard in the host, and then they ran to arms. And they took their way on the morrow and passed through Salisbury and all Macdemia. After great trials and many journeys, they came to a city named Rhodes. There came messengers again from the emperor. They spoke to the earl, praying him in the name of his lord to come before his host with a few of his companions to Constantinople. Messengers were also there from the barons who had passed the Bras, and they requested the same by mouth and by letters from their lords. The earl himself had sent messengers beforehand to know the condition of the country and of the barons. And they were returned, which reported much the same and advised him to do as the emperor required. By the prayer of so many people, the earl must needs do so at their instance. And thus he left his host and came to Constantinople with a few of his men. Many messengers awaited him, who all came to fetch him. When he came before the emperor, The emperor was warmly received with great cheer and joy by him and all the barons of the palace. After the emperor spoke to him and requested that he always align and be friends with him, and that he would greatly benefit from it, he responded briefly that he would not do so. The emperor was greatly displeased and sent for the constables of his soldiers. He commanded them secretly in council to use their time and opportunity and attack the host of The Crle, doing them all harm they could and killing a great number of them. The emperor commanded them more firmly, as he knew that those on the other side would not be able to help them. He had also ordered that all the ships bring over supplies. The man should come hastily again into the city, so that they would not cross over on our side ever after. He had suspicion that they were assembling of our people, and therefore made them pass over one by one as they came. The great cheer that he made to them and the great gifts that he gave were more by fear and deceit than love or generosity. But our people, and especially the Frenchmen, could not believe that this joy and riches he showed came from any treason or evil. They knew not then as they did later.\n\nThe constables, who had command over them, spoke to their men and reassured them, believing their people to be assured. They attacked them and slew and wounded many before they were awakened and perceived the treason. But when the cry arose and the noble men of the host perceived the treason, they armed themselves and retained their people who began to flee and afterwards ran upon them. The host's men chased the remnant. In the morning, they grew extremely dismayed by the troubles they had suffered in the night and the treachery of the Greeks. Their hearts began to cool and falter in their purpose and pilgrimage. The Bishop and many wise, religious men and clerics who preached to them the words of the Lord comforted them greatly. They showed them that if they returned, they would lose the honor of this world and also that other thing. Thus, with great effort, they kept them.\n\nWhen the earl, who was in Constantinople, heard of the treachery done to him in his host, he was like a man out of his wits. Immediately, he sent his men to the emperor and sent word that he had betrayed him. For a while, he kept him and made him welcome. He had caused his people to be slain by treachery, and he sent word of this to the barons on the other side. Praying them as his brothers that they would come to him to avenge it. if the earl had sufficient power, he would not have departed until he had avenged himself. This thing had gone too far, and the emperor repented of his command given in anger and haste. He hastened him much to set counsel in this matter and sent for Buymont and the earl of Flanders to come and speak with him. They came, who were much angered by this, and they went to the earl in the name of the emperor. But they said more on their own behalf than on behalf of the emperor. They showed him well that it was not the time or place for him to atone for the shames that had been done to him in the service of our lord. It would be a disgrace to the great work they had entered to save their souls. And on the other side, if they were to do so, they did not have the power. The Earl was angry but hid his thoughts rather than revealing his heart to his detriment. The Earl, no fool, allowed his anger to subdue his wit. He promised to submit to these two noble men and believe them. They went privately to the emperor and showed him all the foul deeds and works committed. The emperor understood the great sorrow in their hearts and summoned the Earl to come to him in his palaces. He excused the Earl before all the privy council and foreigners, stating that he had not ordered this fate to be done, but it displeased him greatly. Yet, being without fault or blame for this, he was ready to restore to the Duke all the damages done to his host after his power. Every day, the great hatred of the Greeks towards the Latins could be perceived more and more, as well as the emperor's disloyalty towards us. However, it had to be endured. for it could not then be amended, after the counsel of the other barons, the earl was made to do so, and by the great prayers of the emperor, he swore fealty to him, just as the others had done. The peace was affirmed among them. The emperor gave them such great gifts that they were marvelously pleased. The other barons who had come over again received new gifts and presents. After they passed through the bras (gates) and returned into their tents, they prayed much to the earl that he should not delay and remain there. The earl's host entered Constantinople, and he made them pass through the bras and lodged with them, but he himself abode in the town for certain necessities he had to attend to and to order things. He hoped that our lord would send him such honor that he could deliver his people and land through him. The earl could make remonstrances to him in accordance with the barons. whiche had spoken in this mater / Themperour answerd to them alle in one maner / that this pylgrenagr was a moche hye thynge and that he moche desyred the pardon / And aboue alle other thynge the companye of so hye noble men plesyd hym moche And about hym and his empyre he sayd he had moch cruel peple and moch vntrew as the Bongres the comans and other that gladly wold doo harme to hym and to his londe and conquere his Empyre as moche as they myght gete / And therfore it were grete pa\u2223rylle for me to withdrawe fro my Countreye / well and fay\u2223re he excused hym withoute forth / But that he sayd to oure\nfore Nycene whan they were alle assembled / sixe.

In the time of Saint Silvestre, the pope, there was a patriarch of Constantinople named Alexander. Emperor Constantine had a eunuch named Arrian who despised certain points of the faith, and many followed him. Therefore, in the city of Nicaea, three hundred sixteen bishops assembled and disputed against this Popian. By the testimony of scripture and the accord of the holy men who were there, Arrian was condemned and his heresy was suppressed. In the time of another Constantine, the son of Aurelian, another council was convened in the same place, which was the seventh. An Arian pope of Rome was present: Tarasius was patriarch of Constantinople. They condemned some heretical people who said that all the images made in the church should be destroyed. The city of Nicene stands in a plain, but the mountains are near, and it is almost surrounded. The country is fair and productive. The great forests are nearby toward the west, extending for a great length and breadth. By that river, ships bring merchandise into the city. When there is a great wind, the great waves strike hard on the walls. On the other side of the town are broad and deep ditches filled with water from a lake and other springs. The walls around are strong, high, thick, and full of great towers. The people within the town were fierce and hardy and well-versed in arms. There was great abundance there. When our men approached, they were much impressed by the strength of the town. Solyman, whom I have mentioned before, who was a very powerful Turk, held the lordship of this city and of all the land around it. He was wise, hardy, and powerful. A man of his body, from the time he heard of the coming of our people, was armed and prepared by his friends and soldiers to defend his city and his land. An uncle of his, named Belphet, powerful and rich, had recently conquered all the land from the brass of St. George to Surry, which is [xxx] miles. He had bailiffs in the town of Constantinople who received his passages and customs of the merchants of the town and others. This Solyman hid himself in the mountains with as many people as he could muster, a mile from the host. He lay in wait and spied out how he might raise the siege, if he had the means. But other people came before the town without accord or any order and began to assault it in such a way that those within could not issue out, nor those without enter. The great lake that touched the town caused much trouble, for they might overwhelm the host and come by sea as often as they wished. Our People had no ships and could not. not defending the lake. Certainly they had besieged it well by land. Solyman, who saw this city thus surrounded by people, was wrathful and angry, and doubted much that the townsfolk would be ashamed of the great multitude. Therefore, he sent two of his prized messengers. He commanded them in his name to enter the town and say these words: \"We hold you to be such valiant men and of such prowess that I truly believe that you scorn and set little by this people who have come from such far-off countries where the sun goes down, and they are weary, ill-prepared and unarmed. We are fresh and our horses are rested in our country. There is no doubt that we are superior to them. And that you may well know, for it is not long since we defeated in one day more than l.M. Therefore, take courage and maintain yourselves as noble men. Until morning, before the hour of none, you shall be without fail delivered of them all. But be you well.\" advised and ready, when we engage in battle, you open your gates and issue forth against them in such a way that you are parties to the victory and the profit. The messengers of Solyman arrived on the lake. They came a little far from the town and began to spy out how they might enter the city. Our people perceived them and ran towards them. One of them was slain upon capture. The other was brought before the barons and made to be drawn and tortured to confess the truth. He confessed and said that Solyman had sent them to garnish the city and make it ready, for their lord was to come and attack suddenly in the host on the morrow. The barons treated him well. They commanded him to be kept and took counsel among themselves how they should act. The Earl of Toulouse and the bishop of Puy had not yet arrived at the host. The barons sent for them urgently for this reason. They came and rode all night. In such a way that they arrived at the host. The host to fore the sun rising. The banners were displayed, and the trumpets sounded. There were many people, and unable they were to be lodged in the places kept for them. Then Solyman, at the hour of terce, like as he said that was taken, came down from the mountain into the plain. Then our people, who were well advised, armed them and sounded the trumpets. Every man drew himself into his battle position as it was ordered, and all were quickly set in order\n\nOf the host of Solyman departed a battle, from the other where x.M men on horseback drew them towards the gate, right toward the south. There was lodged the earl of Toulouse. And this gate was delivered to him to keep. But Solyman, who the day before had espied that way and had seen no man lodged there, and knew nothing of the coming of the earl or his company, this battle struck among the people who were coming. They received them fiercely with clubs and glaives. The swords and severely wounded them, making them retreat backward. Solyman, their leader, led them back and assembled the people of the earl of Flanders, the duke Godfrey, Buymont. They endured the battle well for an hour, but in the end, the Turks were discomfited and fled in haste. Our people followed closely, but the mountains and woods were near where they fled. Thousands were killed, and some were taken alive. Our people had great joy from this victory and came again to their siege, besieging the town as well as they could to anger and discourage those within. The town held out for support. They cast the heads of the Turks they sent to the emperor. He thanked them greatly and sent new gifts of jewels, clothes of silk, and other things most generously. He commanded the merchants to lead victuals to the host and other things. The duke and his two brothers considered how this city could be besieged on all sides. They seemed unable to take it by coming to an agreement, so they lodged all together. The duke remained with them to guard the south, while the earl of Toulouse, the bishop of Puy, the earl of Chartres, and other barons, along with all their people, were lodged to the east. The city was thus enclosed, except for the lake to the west. Afterward, they hastily entered the forest and summoned a great number of carpenters and sawyers to construct engines. All the carpenters of the house and sawyers came forth in a little while, and they raised engines and siege works, covered ways and causes to fill the ditches and mine the walls. There was a great casting of large stones at the walls and towers, so that in many places the walls were breached. The walls were cleft and broken in many parts, allowing the town to be assaulted, but this assault caused little damage to the town or its inhabitants. However, two valiant men were lost: one was named Bawdwyn, a rich man and a good knight from Berry; the other was named Bawdwyn of Gaut, noble and hardy. These two went so far ahead of the day that one was slain with a stone and the other with an arrow. Guy of Forest and Galas de Lille were also high-ranking men who assaulted much that day. In this time, the host's steward died of sickness, a much-valued knight. The host was sorrowful over the deaths of these noble men, but every man hoped that our lord would grant them eternal rest in heaven for their good service. They were honorably buried, and afterwards, the host's captains were agreed that the castles they had made should be drawn forth and approached the walls. Each of the great men had commanded to make an engine hastily in his part / The Earl of Duchessland and Henry Desque, who were good knights, approached the castle that it joined to the wall / The knights above began to defend them, and those below pressed the wall. The Turks within had prepared the greatest part of their engines for this castle, and many strokes had struck so long that with the stroke of a great stone they broke all and filled it in such a way that neither one escaped above or below, but all were dead. There was great sorrow in the host / And much more would follow. They had not been comforted but by the great comfort that they had in the Lord. They left not there, but every man paid him more and more to grieve them within / And there came every day into it, the town fresh victuals and new men / Armors and artillery by the lake / And they could not defend it. Therefore, our barons would have counsel on how they might disturb this. They assembled and agreed to send a great number of knights, wise men, and foot soldiers. They were to take all the ships they could find at the sea side and place them on chariots. The others were to be cut in two or three pieces. They also planned to send to the emperor and ask him to deliver ships. Those in charge found a great number of suitable ships. By the emperor's command, which was granted gladly, they drew them out of the water. Then they coupled four or five carts to each ship and set them on them with the help of people. In one night, they drew them a distance of seven miles or more with ropes and the effort of the carts. These ships were taken from the water and launched into the lake very hastily, for many hands make light work. The people went there with good will. Among them were many mariners who were skilled in shipcraft. They were set therein many people offered themselves to enter all armed; they took as many as needed and equipped these ships well. Some ships had one hundred, and others one hundred and thirty or twenty. After their greatness, in such a way that our men had taken from them the way they had in Lake Our. When they of the host saw that this way of the lake was taken from them, they had great joy and hoped that the siege would not endure. The Turks of the town, when they perceived that our men had done such a great work and were so strong, fell into despair and were abashed and marveled at the vigor of our people who had done this in such a short time. And then they were enclosed on all sides and had lost the way for their ships.\n\nWhen the Barons saw that their ships were in the lake in such a way that no man could harm them, they immediately cried that all men should arm them and come to the assault. It was agreed that each of the barons should assault in that part where he was lodged. They admonished and enforced their people to do well. Threats were more rampant than ever. Some threw out great numbers of stones. Every man did his part towards the south in the party delivering to the lord of Toulouse. There was a high tower more great than any of the others. By this tower were the palaces in which Solomon's wife was. The lord had set all his intent for a long time to break this tower, for he had thrown great stones at it but had not broken one stone of the tower. And because he would not leave it without taking it, he ordered greater new stones. These began to break the cracks of the same tower, and with the strokes of the stones much powder came out of the fissures. The people of the host perceived it and saw that the tower began to fall. They passed the ditch and brought engines unto the walls. They began with great effort to mine the walls and to pierce them. They within cast great stones upon the engines. And with short bows and arbalests, they hurt many whom they saw discovered. Since they saw that the closing of the tower was beginning to fail, they fortified it with stones and chalk, making a strong and thick wall. Our men at the tower had made a hole in the wall large enough for two men to enter freely.\n\nOn the wall, in the part where Duke Godfrey assaulted, there was a Turk, strong and great in stature, who did great damage to our men. He hurt many with a powerful Turkish bow that he had. And with a little of our language that he could speak, he ceased not to say evil and discourage those who assaulted, calling them cowards. It happened that Duke Godfrey saw this. He reprimanded him many times and was greatly displeased with him. Thinking how he might capture him, he kept it in mind until the Turk came again and abandoned him. The duke's honor grew greatly in the host, and his joy increased. The duke was of great honor and had many. good prayers therefore, the other Saracens who wounded many with casting, shooting, and throwing upon our engines, pitch, oil, and grease all boiling, and threw also brands and other things burning much thickly in such a way, that some they burned. They who assaulted on the party of the lord of Toulouse, at the tower that I told you about before, labored sore to mine the wall. But one thing disturbed them greatly: whatever they broke on the day, they made it again in the night, in such a way that they were willing to leave it, and worked more slowly than they had done by force. A very valiant knight of the host of the Normans came right there and admonished the assailants to go forth. He passed the ditch before him with his helmet laced, the shield upon his head, and broke vigorously the wall where the Turks had made it again. But there was none who followed him. And they of the walls threw such great stones on him and so thickly that they slew him in the presence of the others. They drew the body up to them on the wall with hooks and crochets and disarmed him. Our men then took the body and buried it respectfully. He was greatly beleaguered by Christian men. The barons saw that they had lost many people in the assault and did little harm to the town and their enemies with their engines. They assembled to make a council on how they might do. A Lombard man came to them, who had seen the great harm and loss of our people, and said to the barons that he was a skilled master in making engines if he could have the necessary materials. With God's help, he promised that in a short time, he would overcome the tower. They had caused so much pain and would make a large entrance into the town who would join them. Those who heard him promised him that he would have all that was necessary and a good reward and riches for his labor. This master took on workers. and made them work as he commanded. In a short time, he had created an engine which was marvelously strong and great. He joined it to the wall, filled with armed men and foot soldiers. Those on the walls threw great stones and burning fire in great quantities, but the engine was so strong and rugged that the blows did it no harm, nor could the fire adhere to it when the townsfolk perceived they could not drown this engine. They were greatly afraid and discouraged in marvelous despair. Our men tried to take out the great stones at the base of the wall of the tower. They underset it with strong stanchions and great timbers when they seemed to have made enough progress. They took their habitations and set them far from the wall. Then they put fire under the tower on all sides and withdrew to their habitations and to the engines, all in safety which were a great distance away. About midnight, the fire had so intensely... \"Brent and wrought this tower down to the ground with such great noise and tempest that it seemed all there trembled. And there was none but he had great horror and fear in his heart. Our people made haste to sound the trumpets and cry out for arms to come promptly to the assault. The wife of Solyman, who for a long time had been in great fear and was near death from fear, said she could no longer see it or endure it. She suddenly made ready a vessel and put it on the lake, taking the lady and her two sons with her. They presented them in the morning before the barons. They had them kept securely with the other prisoners. The Turks in the town were then in great distress, as much for themselves as for them. Tacius the Greek, whom I have mentioned before, who was very double and malicious, spoke to the noblemen who governed the town in council. He showed them that these\" The pilgrims destroyed people and land if they yielded the city to them. But if they would acknowledge and take the emperor as their lord, and surrender their lives and goods into his hand, he would keep them safely and do them great good, he said, and did. The townspeople took counsel and went to the barons, saying they would surrender their lives, their bodies, and the city, as well as their goods, into the emperor's hands. This did not displease the barons much, for their intention was to pass on. However, they would only grant this if the emperor would deliver entirely and come into their host all the prisoners of Peter Theremites in the castle of Coucy, and similarly all others they had taken in the siege. Solomon held. They accorded that they should yield them to the emperor. Then, the barons, princes, knights, and common people sent messengers by agreement to the emperor to signify him how they of the city had yielded to him. Therefore, they sent word to him that he should send his high and noble men with a great number of people to receive the town and the persons of whom they held many. For they all agreed that the honor should be his, and that the town should come into his demesne, and the prisoners at his will. Those who had entered into a vow to accomplish this had purposed to depart from this place and go to the land of Surrey.\n\nGreat joy had the emperor over these tidings. He tarried not but sent his most private men, both barons and knights, with a great quantity of armed men to receive the town in his name. He also repaired the city and all that was necessary and did what was broken of the towers. All that they found in the town. The prisoners seized armors and victuals for the emperor and sent them to Constantinople. The emperor sent special letters to each baron, presenting great gifts and showing them great honor for what they had done for him, and for keeping their promise. The townspeople, who had endured great grief and annoyance because all the wealth and goods of the town were taken away by the emperor's men, complained bitterly. They had hoped that they would share in the spoils, but they were not rewarded. The barons were greatly aggrieved, as the terms of the agreement between the emperor and them were such that if they entered any cities that had previously been in the emperor's possession, they would deliver the city and the land to the emperor, but the profits and gains would be theirs. The pilgrims departed by the commandment of the barons three days before the third of July from the place where they had been besieging. They traveled two days with great difficulty and then lodged by a bridge for the ease of the water. In the morning, according to their custom, they crossed the bridge during the darkness of the night because it was not yet daylight, or perhaps they left each other unwillingly. Buymont, the Duke of Normandy, Thierry of Chartres, Tancred, and the Earl of Saint Pol turned away to the left side. They descended into a valley named Gurgom and lodged there around none near a river where there was great abundance of water. They all rested there that night in peace. However, they lodged them in fair, great meadows on the water's edge. One host was commanded to follow our people on the left side and caused them great trouble as he tried to harm them. He had turned toward them. The left side was nearer to him than the other part. He was very glad and joyful when he heard these tidings. He saw that he was well in point for revenge and had his men ready, ordering his battle to begin at the set day. He departed to support our men. As the springing of the day began to clear, the men who made the watch this night, drawn a little from their posts, appeared to them and cried to arms. They blew horns and trumpets most fearfully. The host awoke suddenly and our men armed them right hastily. They ordered their battalions as they had devised. The women were kept aside by a water full of reeds, through which men could not come to them. In front of them were they closed with carts and chariots, of which they had great plenty. And after they sent messengers to the great host. From whom they were foolishly departed for to pray that they would diligently come to their aid, for they were in great peril when their battles were thus engaged evenly. The first day of July, at the hour of prime, be assured that Suleiman arrived with a great army of two hundred thousand well-armed and mounted men. Not one of them was without horse or armor. And most of them were on foot. It was no wonder that they anticipated the arrival of their enemies.\n\nWhen the host of the Turks charged, the noise was immense - of trumpets, of men and horses - and was great confusion. They had inflicted great damage with their shots, which were few. Those who had shields and targets kept them somewhat, but those without armor had to flee or else be slain among the horses. Many were slain and injured. Of our people, as many footmen as horsemen were killed: two thousand were killed. A very valiant young man, noble and hardy, who had performed well that day, Gilliam, son of Tancre, was struck by an arrow and died. Brother of Tancre. The place was home to a valiant man named Robert of Paris. He died by his prowess. Tancred, who was amazed by arms, abandoned himself. He came there as if he were being led, and took him by the bridle, bringing him back. The Turks saw our men being hurt and troubled, and took their bows in their left hands. They ran at them with sword maces in such a way that they overthrew them and put them on the defensive. There they hid them and defended themselves vigorously, suffering the great multitude of Turks discharging arrows at them one after another.\n\nThe news reached the good duke Godefroy and other princes that Buymont and his company were in such peril. The duke, his two brothers Baldwin and Eusan, and many other barons came together. The foot soldiers remained to guard the lodgings. They went forth, numbering more than forty thousand, all armed and well-mounted. they approached the place where the battle was and saw them making doubt. The good bishop of Poitiers was there, comforting the barons and knights for the delayed delivery. After they went to Solyman's tents, they found such great abundance of riches, provisions, sheep, horses, and other beasts that it cannot be recounted. Robes, vessels, and pavilions of diverse colors and strange fashions, so that there was none but he was rich. For you may well know that Soliman had two hundred thousand men. Our people returned to our tents with great joy and honor. There were lost in that battle about four hundred thousand men and fewer horses. Of the Turks, three million were found dead, and there were many great men among them. This battle lasted from the hour of prime until nearly none, and our people often had the worse. For, as I have said, Soliman had two hundred thousand men all on horseback. Our people were but when Lord M had given this victory to his people, they rested for three days in this fair place where their tents were. Their horses refreshed them well during this time. Of the armor and other spoils they had taken from their enemies, they arranged and adorned them well. Those who were poorly armed before performed much valor in this battle and gained great honor, and those named below in particular: Baldwin le Borgh, Thomas de Ferre, Regnault de Beauvais, Gale de Ehamont, Gaston in Thost. After they had stayed there for three days, on the fourth day following, they passed by the land called Pisidibrenning, as it often falls in July. They had such great thirst that they did not know what to do, especially the foot soldiers. failed and fainted all for the dust, for the heat, and for thirst. That day, five hundred men and women died from my disease. And you should know certainly that a marvelous thing happened that day in the host, which we find nowhere in any other history. For the women with child who had not yet reached their term, due to the heat and the misery and their strong labor, opened their mouths and sought moisture which they could not have. The heat and the sweetness destroyed them. You would have seen the horses and other beasts that could not go forth in such a way that they had to leave those that died on the way. Hounds for the chase and hunting, fowls for the flight as falcons, hawks, and sparrowhawks you would have seen that day perish and die. And in the same way, the great steeds and coursers, which were most perilous, became agitated and mad for thirst, and with great pain were led forth, when they had been long in this affliction. Our lord. They beheld them in pity and made them address themselves towards a valley where they found a running water, fair and great. Then our people ran to the brink or edge with great haste. Many there were who drank so much that they died on the spot. For some of them who had avoided death found it there because they kept no measure. Knights and other men and beasts drank as much as they wanted when they had escaped this evil adventure. They came into a land much fair and fertile, full of woods, rivers, meadows, and good fields, laborable. This was Antioch, the least of which is the chief city of the land of Pisidia. There they lodged with their host.\n\nFrom thence departed some of the barons of Pisidia and went to find provisions\nto gather so much people. The first was Baldwin, brother to the duke, with him was Peter, earl of Scaruay. Reynard, earl of Second, was there, and with him Richard du Principat, Robert Danse, and other knights of great number. (VC / on) The duke and his men, who had many foot soldiers like the others, rode about the forest in search of some adventure and prey. If they had encountered any party, grief, or abundance of their enemies, each man would have gone his own way at will. The duke, as he went through the forest, heard a man cry out. He drew his sword to deliver the poor man from the beast. Then the beast addressed him and left the man who had fled from it. The beast injured the duke's horse so severely that it threw the duke to the ground. The duke, angry and fearsome, cried out horribly and ran towards the duke. He wounded him cruelly in the thigh. After he had addressed him and embraced him with his pardon, he slew him. He then sat him down on the ground beside him. For he had so much bled from his wound that he was in his thigh and was so marvelously sore hurt that he could not stand long on his feet. The poor man whom he had delivered from death quickly went into the host and told them this news of the duke. All who heard it were so frightened that they ran with great haste thither. The barons and all the others who could go found him lying on the ground pale and discolored. Afterward, they took him in a litter and bore him into the host. But no one was more stunned or sorrowful and lamented through all the lodgings, whether rich or poor, and men as well as women. At once, they summoned all the masters and surgeons to attend to him. There were many, for every prince had some with him in the host.\n\nAt the same time, another valiant man named Raymond, Earl of Toulouse, lay down sick with a grievous and perilous malady. Never before had he been so detained by it. They certainly believed he would die - those keeping watch over him, a reliable servant, sang mass. All were greatly disturbed because they believed that both of these great men, who were of much greater importance than our lord, who was already ill and in grave danger, were about to die. And after entering a land named Lycaon, they came to a city called nothing, and there they suffered greatly from lack of provisions. For the Turks, having heard the news that our people were coming, trusted in none of their fortresses but abandoned them and fled into the forests and mountains - men, women, and children, horses named Marase. There they lodged and stayed for three days. Bawdwin, brother of the Duke who had departed from the host, left his wife, Gutier by name, with his two boys. She was buried and given a grand funeral in the same place. She was greatly mourned in the host. Ancre, a wise man, was also there. In this land of Sylicia, a man of great courage rode, seeking adventure in such a way that he found a city called Tarse. This land of Sylicia is a corner turning toward the sun going down. In this land there are two great cities, each archbishopric. One is named Tarse, of which I spoke before; in it was born St. Paul the apostle. The other was named Anauazie. Each of these two cities has other cities under it. Tarse was founded by one of Noah's children, Ion, who was a son of Japheth. However, sounds say that Perseus founded it, but it may be well that one founded it and the other repaired and improved it. Tancre laid siege to this city and compelled them to yield it to him, either through threats and fair words. They hoisted this banner on the highest tower of the town. He swore and affirmed to keep them from damage and harm, and no one should be put out of their houses or lose anything that belonged to them until the coming of the great [...] And then they should yield the town to the great princes of Host without any debate. This was agreed between him and the men of the town. In this town were Christian men, Hermions, and Greeks. But the Turk held all the fortresses that bore arms and had seigniory over this people. He would not allow them anything except to occupy and labor there and to buy and sell.\n\nBawdwin, the Duke's brother, and the people he led entered a most barren country where they suffered great hardship for provisions. After they came upon a mountain from which they could see all the land of Sicily and the cities by the sea, they saw tar nearby and pavilions. They supposed that they were Turks who had besieged the city. They descended to find out what people they were and also to inquire about the condition of the country. The men with Tancre in the vanguard saw these armed men approaching and let their lord approach them. Tancre knew certainly that they had been Turks who came to support them in the town, and each man armed himself diligently and took up position. After they had issued out against them, the banners were displayed. But when they approached each other and recognized one another by their arms, they opened their helmets and embraced each other, making great joy. And then Bawdwin was lodged well and honorably by Tancre, for Tancre had great abundance of supplies which Bawdwin and his people greatly needed.\n\nIn the morning, when the sun was up and clear day, Bawdwin and those with him saw Tancre's banner on the highest tower of the town. And they envied him greatly and began to murmur and speak maliciously of those who had greater power. They said they ought to have the worship of this town. It is true that to this day, Bawdwin and Tancre had been like two brothers in great secrecy. Tancre, a wise and reasonable man, was misled by Bawdwin's envy and malicious words from some of his men. Tancre understood these words and went in person to Bawdwin. He explained that no one knew of their agreement between him and the townsfolk, and his banner had been set upon the tower. Bawdwin was not satisfied with these words and found allies in his folly. He spoke great evil and injurious words to Tancre, inciting them to the point of arming their men to destroy each other. Then Bawdwin summoned the townsfolk, and when they arrived, he threatened them strongly, demanding they take down Tancre's banner and raise his own on the tower. If they refused, he warned. They should have known that he would destroy them and all that were outside the town, and take the town and cast it into the mauld-grave, all that Tancre might do. The citizens saw that Tancre could not guarantee nor defend them against the pacts made with him such as they had made before with Tancre. And he set his banner where he commanded. Tancre saw the force that was done to him and was greatly displeased and had great anger in his heart. But he concealed his thoughts wisely and would not allow the people coming in this pilgrimage to make war against their enemies of the faith of Jesus Christ. He should slay each other for his occasion. He departed from this place. For he doubted that some noise or meddling might arise from this. And he came to a city near by named Adane. There he could not enter, for a nobleman of Burgoyne named Gelphes was prepared with a great route of men of arms, as the others died for seeking adventures. And he had taken this city by force. And had cast out the Turks and held it entirely. Tancre heard that some of our people held it, and sent good messengers to Gelphes, praying him to open the gates and allow his men to enter the town to buy what they needed. Gelphes did it graciously and gave generously to them for nothing, for he had found the town full of gold and silver, robes of beasts, wheat, wine, oil, and all that a man needed.\n\nTancre, on the morrow, took leave of his host, and took his way with his people. He rode so far that he came to a city named Anamystre. This was one of the best cities of that land. It was fair and delightful. Tancre came there and knew certainly that the Turks held it. He besieged it entirely. From the time that he came, he assaulted the town daily. He did this on the first, second, and third day, making so many assaults against them and injuring them that they were greatly distressed and disheartened. Tancre entered the town and took it by force. He mercilessly put to death all the heathen people he found there. The town was rich and filled with all manner of victuals in great abundance. Tancre distributed the town's wealth and gains among his men, making them all rich. They refreshed themselves and their beasts greatly, relieving them of the hardships they had suffered on their journey. They stayed there for a long time with great dedication.\n\nBaudwyn saw that Tancre had departed from Taras. He sent for the townspeople and told them to let his men enter the town. He thought it shameful to remain idle there without doing anything before the arrival of the great host. The townspeople saw that they could not resist them and, if they did not let them enter with their agreement, they would enter anyway. Against their will and without force, they opened the gates and allowed Baldwin to have two towers where he could lodge, while others could stay in the houses in the town peacefully. The Turks who held the seigniory of the town still kept the other towers in their possession. They had great doubt and suspicion of Baldwin and his men lodged in the town. They believed they would have no support and were greatly afraid of the large host that was soon to arrive. They sought among them the means and manner in which they might leave the town with their wives, children, and principal baggage and jewels. It happened that on this same night, three hundred men who had departed from Buymont to follow Tancre arrived before this City of Tarsus where they thought to find him. When Baldwin learned who these people were and that they were following Tancre, he would not allow them to enter the town. They wearily and travelled, praying him much sweetly and cried him mercy many times, that for the love of God he would allow them to lodge in the town this night, for they wanted nothing but good. The footmen of this company also prayed him in the same way. But he would not listen to them. Nevertheless, because they were in distress outside, the people in the town begged them down with ropes and wine in barrels, with which they could pass this night. Our people were asleep in the town. It happened that the Turks within the towers opened the gates secretly without any noise and led out their wives, children, and all their things. And all the heathen men of the town thought they were not safe with their guests and issued out of the town when their wives and children were withdrawn a little from the town. They would leave cruel and ill tokens of their departure. They The hundred pilgrims outside the gate slept soundly, as if they had no doubts. They were all put to death and slain. If any of them escaped, he would be lucky. In the morning, our men awoke early in the town and saw the tents where the Turks had lodged open and the houses empty. They knew well that they had fled. They searched the walls and gates to inquire how they had gone. They went so far that they found great blame on Baldwin and his knights. For they would avenge the death of their brothers whom the Saracens had shamelessly and cowardly slain. Since the knights of Baldwin and he himself would not allow them to enter the town, and in truth, the foot soldiers said this was done by great outrage and great deceit. Had they not lightly withdrawn into the tents, they would have smitten them all to death. The knights kept them all still until the foot soldiers were calmed down, and afterwards sent messengers who spoke to them. them and require them to wait until Bawdwyn had spoken to them; they were content to hear Bawdwyn speak. Bawdwyn excused himself and swore and affirmed that nothing threatened them but that he had sworn to the townspeople that by him no one would enter until the great host arrived. By these words and because others had entered to make peace and spoken courteously to the common people, Bawdwyn was accorded the footman and his knights as well. In this town they sojourned and stayed for a certain while until a morning; they saw in the sea near them a ship. They issued out of the town and descended to the sea. Those in the ship approached them in such a way that they spoke to each other. They of the ship said that they were Christian men. They demanded to know from what country, and they answered from Flanders and Friseland. And truly, they had been scourges of the sea and robbers for the past eight years. And they repented and came in pilgrimage to Jerusalem. They were welcomed and made great joy. They had a master over them named Guy of Beaujeu. He was born in Beaujeu, on the sea in the land of Earl Eustace, father of the said Godfrey. When he said he would go with him to Jerusalem, he was very rich from this evil gain. He had many men with him who manned his ship. Then Baudwin left, leaving C men of arms to keep the town well. Afterward, he took his way to seek some adventures as I told you before. He had taken Jerusalem by force of arms from the Turks, as I have said before. Baudwin thought he would not let him enter the city, so he lodged him outside. He had not forgotten the wrong and outrage that Baudwin had done to him. Then he armed his men and said it was time for revenge, for they were near and sleeping with their horses which they had sent to the pastures. Tancred had with him five knights. One hundred men with arms were in good point and well horsed. They suddenly charged into the people of Bawdwin, who were not expecting them. They slew many and injured many more. The people of Bawdwin hastily armed themselves and came to fight those who were fleeing near their tents. They were fierce, but they did not have a large enough force to withstand the enemy's withdrawal into their town. However, their enemies pressed them so strongly that they had to flee. There was a bridge over a body of water between the host and the city. The people of Tancre surged in so thick that many were lost and slain on the bridge and drowned in the water. When they were put back into the town again, they were very angry in their hearts and wanted to take more people and return. But the night came and put an end to it. In this skirmish, Richard le Principat, cousin of Tancre, and Robert Danse, both noblemen, were taken captive. Tancre had run upon Bawdwin. From the other side, a large number of people were taken captive as well. A noble man named Gilbert de Mountclare and their men were very angry on both sides due to those they had lost. For they doubted that they had been slain or drowned. But when the morning came and their hearts had calmed a little, they sent messengers to each other. They knew certainly that those men who were taken were alive, and good men intervened to speak of peace in such a way that they came again to entire concord and perfect love, by the grace of the Holy Ghost. They forgave each other's transgressions and kissed each other as friends in good faith.\n\nBaldwin had counseled when he came to Maraze that he should go no further. But he returned to his household and went forth with Guy Neuers and those who were in his company from the ship. They passed silently and beat down all the heathen men's forests that they could find. They burned the towns. They slew their enemies and came to a city called Alexandria, the last they had taken by force. They conquered all the dwellers in the mountains of this country. They heard tidings that Tancre and his men were so valiant and mighty that nothing could hold against them. They feared that, just as he had conquered the plains, he would come upon them in the mountains and destroy the land entirely and the people. To appease his courage, they sent good and certain messengers to him, who brought great gifts: gold, silver, precious stones, silk clothes, horses, and mules. His profit increased in all places he went, so that it seemed to every man that our Lord God directed his way and maintained his victory.\n\nNow you have heard how Tancre named himself in Syria. The great host that followed him came to a standstill. Bawdwyn, who had seen his brother the duke whole and sound, had heard again tidings of Tancre and how he had acted in the country where he went, and had lost much of his good will and grace. Thousand. For the men of Thousand had been told atrocities about And therefore many doubted to undertake the journey with him / Buymont and his men had not lightly suffered this thing avenged nor received much satisfaction from this work / he brought him here, who appeased the hearts of many men, for he was a much valiant and curt man. He had escaped from the prison of the emperor of Constantinople. And came to the host at Nice. There he acquainted him with Bawdwin. He prayed him and admonished him to take men and go to a country where he should lead him, which was much productive and full of goods. And if he would go, he should conquer it easily. He often said this to him, and he began to take his way and departed with two hundred knights and other men-at-arms enough and a great number of foot soldiers. They followed Pancrace all. This led them to ward by the rich land. The men who dwelt in this land were all Christian men, save a few Turks who held it. the fortresses were lords of the countryside and would not allow Christian men to bear arms in any way. When those of our faith saw Bawdwin and his men, they were glad and joyful, for they did not love the Turks. They delivered over the countryside where they had power, in such a way that in a short time he had conquered all the land up to the Euphrates flood. Bawdwin was much feared and doubted throughout the countryside in such a way that for fear, they left him all the fortresses well fortified and took them without debate. The Christian men, who had received him into their land, became so fierce and hardy that they hunted all the heathen men out of the countryside. Some barons of the countryside served Bawdwin with all their power and helped him bring all things to his will.\n\nThe renown of this great man, whose prowess and wit spread far and wide, reached the citizens of Rages. Hoping by him to be delivered from the servitude in which they were. The greatest men of the town sent certain messengers to Bawdwyn, praying him, for the love of God, for his honor and profit, to come to their city, which was named Rages, as found in the Bible. Thobye, his son, was sent to demand the money that Gable, his cousin, owed him. On the way, they wed Sara, his wife. The citizens of this city received Christian faith immediately after the death of our Lord Jesus Christ, as found in the book of Eusebius. The constant constraint imposed on them by the book of Eusebius made them pay heavy and great tributes every year. When it was time to gather their fruits from their vines and other produce, they reasoned with them and could pay at their will, or else they would destroy all. However, no one dared to dwell in the town except he who believed in Jesus Christ. For this was the only town held whole and entirely in the faith. The pagan people had. conquered the other towns, and therefore the Christian people of this town grieved much and would not allow them to leave the town to attend to their needs. For on all sides of them was the pressure of the Turks. In this town lived the signeury, a Greek, who was very old and had no children. He had been there since the time that this land was under the emperor of Constantinople, for he was sent there by the emperor to be bailiff. And when the Turks took the entire country, he did not depart then but remained in his bailiwick. Nevertheless, he did not agree to send for Baldwin, knowing it well and content when Baldwin heard that those of Rages had sent for him by common counsel and had come to Rages with a few men. They made an ambush by the way where he should pass and set there great numbers of armed men. These tidings were told to Baldwin, and therefore he turned to a castle where an hermit held sway. He was received gladly and all his men were lodged there honorably and stayed for two days. The Turks who were issued out numbered more than men. The project they found in the pass and turned back into their country. On the third day, Baldwin issued out and went to Rages. The duke of the town, who was a Greek as I have said before, came out against him. And all the others on horseback and on foot with trumpets and busily received him with a procession, the most honorably they might. Each one urged him to make a feast according to his prowess. The duke harbored great suspicion when he saw this joy that all showed to Baldwin. Then, through envy, he began to find occasions to part from the councils, such as those he had sent. Baldwin should have half the rents of the entire city and all the taxes as long as the duke lived. After his death, which was old, he should have the entire seignory. The duke would not agree to this. But he said that if Baldwin would defend the city from the strength of the Turks and from their... When they learned that he intended to give them reasonable wages and soldier's pay in the country, Bawdwin was dismayed. Hearing this, he declared that he would not stay there but would order his departure and came to the duke. He showed him the great evil and danger that would follow if the noble lady departed, for by her side they and all their possessions would be kept in peace and defended. Considering many things, he nevertheless agreed and made it seem that he did it willingly in the presence of all the townspeople. He granted Bawdwin his son the half of all that he had and granted him his life during it, and after his death, all would be his inheritance. Great joy filled the city when this was done, and they had the most firm hope of counting the franchise of the tributes that the Turks had. That day, they began to remember in their hearts the wrongs and griefs their duke had inflicted upon them in the past. They thought if time and place allowed, they would no longer endure it. They considered how they might avenge the suffering they had experienced throughout his dukedom.\n\nA city was nearby, strong and well fortified, named Famosette. An untrustworthy Turk named Blanduc was its lord. He was a tyrant, but noble and hardy in arms. This Saracen had caused much harm to the citizens of Rages. He imposed taxes and various demands on them as if they were his bondmen. He held their children in such a way that they seemed to be in servitude. They came before Bawdyn and knelt at his feet, humbly praying with joined hands and weeping great tears, that he would deliver them from this said Turk in some way. myght recover their children whom he held shamefully, Bawdwin was willing to grant their request and all that he could. He issued out of the town with them and came before the famous one. He assailed the town much viciously, but they within defended themselves as men well prepared and in a strong place. While Bawdwin had been there, I do not know how many days, and saw and valiant in all things, and had contempt and great anger towards them, for they much hated this old man who without fail had caused them much sorrow in many ways. For he took from them gold and silver, and all that pleased him in the town. And there was none so bold that dared make them destroy their vines and fruits and burn their wheat and corn, and lead away their beasts. And if any of them went out. the town they feared to lose their heads / They had not forgotten the wrongs and injuries that they had suffered from their duke. They hoped that if he were dead, Baldwin would defend them better than he. Therefore, they all armed and set out on a tour where he lay. They began to strongly besiege it and encircled it roundabout.\n\nThe duke saw that the people were so moved and angry with him. He called Baldwin and begged him to take as much of his treasure as he would and appease the people. Baldwin came among them and tried much by prayers and threats to have supposed to have appeased them. But he could do nothing, for more and more came in such a way that the company increased. Baldwin departed from them then and spoke to the duke and advised him to take such counsel that he might avoid the fury of the people, for he could not remedy it.\n\nThen the duke, despairing, tied a cord to a window and descended down by it. But when They apprehended him with arrows before he could reach there. Then they took him dead or alive and dragged him through the town. Afterward, they beheaded him and could not satiate their cruelty. In the morning, they forcibly took Bawdwin against his will in defending himself, and lifted him up as their king and lord. They granted him both fear and afterwards delivered to him the great fortress of the town. They gave him riches and much great treasure that the Greeks had amassed over a long time. Thus, the city of Rages was delivered without contradiction to Bawdwin. Banduc, who was lord of famosete, saw how Bawdwin conquered all the lands and territories and increased his power. He sent messengers to him, informing him that his city was very strong and could not easily be won but he would sell it to him for ten thousand M besantes. Bawdwin advised him on this matter and by counsel agreed to buy it and paid him that sum. received the town entirely & Banduc rendered the hostages he had held then & thus he conquered the hearts and love of the people of the town, who called him their father. They did all that pleased him to their power and were ready to die for him to the death.\n\nIn this land was a city named George, where dwelt none other people save heathens. The lord of the town was named Balak. The Turks who were there committed many troubles and villainous outrages, so many that they prayed to Bawdyn their lord for the love of God and for the affection he had for them that he would take counsel and set a remedy for this thing. He answered curtly and said that he would do it gladly. Then he commanded that every man should arm himself diligently & when they were ready, they should issue out of the town and go straight to assault the city of George. Then they dressed their engines and began to lay siege. The Turks within the town would not. Lightly departed from the siege, they understood no help from any side. Therefore, they sent their messengers to Bawdwyn. And so entered into an agreement that they would yield the town to him. Bawdwyn received the town and stationed the greatest fortress one of his bailiffs there, who would carry out his commands and ordered a large tribute on the townspeople. He did not have enough people to populate the town if they left.\n\nBy the Pand, I shall now speak of the great host. The Duke Godfrey and the great multitude of barons, knights, and noblemen, and others with them, passed through much difficult terrain and had come by valleys and mountains named Maraze. This city named Marse was inhabited by Christian men. Nevertheless, the Turks held the fortresses. And evil entertained the Christian people. These pagan people heard of the coming of our people and fled by night out of fear of them. And there remained none of the townspeople except those of our faith. When the host approached, the barons knew the truth of this town. They defended themselves and the townspeople, and lodged them in a fair and delightful place with sufficient provisions and cheap prices. The people of the countryside informed the barons of the host that there was a rich city nearby, named Artasse, inhabited only by pagan men in its fortresses. The princes consulted on this matter and sent Robert, Earl of Flanders, with Robert de Rosoye and Gossolyn, the son of Aconon de Montagu. They brought with them a well-armed force of over a thousand men when they arrived before the town. Anon, they besieged it. The Turks within did not trust the town's walls and intended to withdraw to the greater fortresses of the town. But the Hermits and other men of our faith, to whom the Turks had inflicted great shame and much harm in the town during their long stay, saw our men. They had great affection and trust in them, and took much great hardiness upon themselves. They ran to arms, and before the Turks could withdraw them into fortresses and towers, they slew them. They threw their heads over the walls to our men, and after opening the gates, received them into the town with great joy. There they found all that they needed, for the city was marvelously rich. From thence to Antioch was only fifteen miles; this city, of which I speak, is under the patriarch of Antioch. Most of the Turks had fled there for fear of our people. When they heard that Artasas was thus taken and they had slain the lords, they took counsel among themselves to avenge themselves on us. They chose ten men, to whom they committed the task, and sent them forth with thirty well-armed and horsed men to draw men from Thost. They approached so near that the host of the enemy was alerted. They saw them / for they made a show of taking messengers and horses near them / our people ran to arms / and began to follow so far that they fought foolishly upon their watch / they sprang out and wanted to run between them and the town to enclose it / but our men assembled them and ran to their defense / and killed them until they came into the town without losing anyone / The Turks saw that they could not retake the town and began to besiege it / for they had enough people and afterwards attempted it / they within defended themselves well, and they outside lost more than one / When the Turks who had come from Antioch to depart saw that the great host was lodged nearby / at the breaking of the day / news came that the great host was encamped close by.\n\nHe died of that illness / and was\n\nWhen the Turks who had come from Antioch to depart saw that the great host was encamped nearby / at dawn / news came that the great host was encamped near. for they had heard say that the earl of Flanders was besieged. Therefore, by common counsel, they had sent fifteen horsemen ahead to support them if they needed help. They commanded them that if the siege had ended, they should leave people reasonably to keep things in order for those with him, and they should return. Tancred and all those who had departed from the host generally came back, doing well their tasks when the host was thus counseled and ordered. They all cried through the host that no one should depart without leave. Then, taking their way straight to Ancyra, they well say that there was a river which they must pass. But the bridge on this river was much fortified by their enemies. To prevent the host from being destroyed when they arrived there, by common counsel of all, Robert, the duke of Normandy, should go ahead. for knowing if he could deliver the passage and send word to the barons of what he found, Edward III of England appointed Everard du Puysant and Roger de Barnuelle as constables of his host. They were both courageous and experienced in arms. Departing from the host, they came to the bridge, named Esenclaves or Orontes in scripture. The bridge was very strong, with two high towers and strong gates on this side. In each tower were 50 armed men, defending the bridge entrance and the passage of the water with bows and arbalests. On the other side, toward Antioch, came 700 horsemen to guard that side of the water. This river of Hell flows on the side of Antioch and comes by another city named Cesarea. But it sources by another city named Heliopolis and is called Mallec, descending into the sea there as I have said. When our people arrived at this bridge, it was fiercely denied to them. For a great multitude of Turks had descended to the barriers. The other tours did not rest to cast stones and shoot so fiercely that it was a great disturbance. They fought so much to gain entry that news reached the host, which was not far from the bridge. They announced their passage and sounded trumpets and drums, and struck those holding them back. Those in the tours dared not remain there any longer due to the great number of people they saw approaching with the large host, for they thought they would not be safe there. The others also descended, and were all put to flight. Our men took the bridge. The other knights of our people who could not reach the barriers due to the crowd while the disturbance was ongoing, were greatly distressed and descended where there was a place to pass, which the enemy did not know of. They crossed over and discomfited them. The seven hundred Sarasins kept the bank, acting so much that the entire host passed deliverably over. And they carried on after, lodging them in a very fair place, about six miles from the town. In the morning, they approached the great way between the mountains and the river. They lodged but a mile from the city of Antioch, which contains the third place among the patriarchs after the Church of Rome. This city was once named Essenia, as the writings witness. Nabugodonosor, king of Babylon, brought Sedechias, king of Jerusalem, there when he had taken him and slew his sons before him, and afterward put out his eyes, as is found in the fourth book of Kings. When Alexander the Great was dead, Antiochus had possession of this part of the land and enforced the city of great towers and walls. He intended to name it Antioch and to make it chief of all the realm. The prince of the apostles, St. Peter, was the first there. bisshop there in a chirche that theophilus made to hym of his hows which was a noble and a myghty man in the toun / Seynt luke the ho\u2223ly euangelyste was born in this toun / to the same theophle wrote he thactes of thappostles / whiche was the .vij / bisshop in anthy\u2223oche / ther was the first counseyl of them that byleuyd in Ihesu Criste after his deth.

It stondeth in a moche fayr place and delytable / Now I shal recounte to you how it stondeth / It This is a large town, and the land around it is excellent for cultivation, with corn, fair fountains, and small running waters. It is among the mountains, near the fullness of fish. A running water issues from this lake, which is nearly the city. The mountains enclose the two sides of the town. There are no waters or arable land beneath them. The mountain to the south is named Oronte, as I told you about the river. According to St. Gregory, Antioch is situated between Oronte the river and Orotes the mountain. One part of this mountain that faces the sea is very high and has a name for itself. Some people believe that this hill is Perseus, the mountain of which scripture speaks much, due to a fountain at its foot, which is named Leschielle Buymand. However, without fault, this is not the mountain of which the authors speak: for this mountain Perseus. The land is named Thessaly. The other mountain to the south is called the Black Mountain, full of springs and wells, woods, and pastures. Anciently, there were temples for the dwellers in this valley. The river I spoke of before runs through this valley and flows towards the sea. At the foot of the mountain to the south begins the walls of Antioch and reaches the Orontes. It is a great distance within the walls, where there are two mountains. On the highest one stands a strong fortress that is not easily taken, but by famine. Between these two mountains, which are quite high, is a deep valley. A little water runs quickly and enters the town, doing much good to it. In the city there are many fountains, but the best is the fountain named Saint Paul's Fountain, which is near the eastern gate. There is another fountain outside the town, which by craft and conduits is supplied. The town was quietly brought into it. All the town's walls, those on the mountains and those hanging, as well as those in the plain, were remarkable. They were of overpowering strength. There were towers very high and well defensible, facing the sun's descent. The river ran very near the town, and the bridge on which men passed joined the walls and the city gate. The length of the town was well two or three miles. It was near the sea, twelve miles from this city of Antioch.\n\nFrom this city of Antioch, there was a lord named Ancean, a Turk from the Mesopotamia region. There had been a powerful Persian army under him, of whom we have previously spoken, Belphet, who had conquered all these lands. And after he wished to return to his country, he completely handed over his conquest to his new men and some of his men, because he wanted those who were his true men and friends to hold each one in his party and to be defenders and the closing of the londe / he gaf to his neuew solyman his neuew nycque or nycene with alle theyr ap\u2223pertenauntes as ye haue herd to fore / to another neuew named du\u00a6And alle the countre about / and wold that eche of them shold bere the name of soudan / and lyke dygnyte / Solyman by cause be marched on the grekes had euery day debate ayenst themperour of Constantynoble / Ducar was ayenst them of Egypte / And ofte made warre eche to other. ffor they loued not to gydre / To thende thenne that thyse two Soly\u2223man and ducar myght the better mayntene theyr warre\u00b7 he wold that they were puyssaunt and hye men as soudans\u00b7 To one his ser\u2223uaunt named assougur which was fader of sangum\u00b7 And grau\u0304t fader of Noradyn of whom ye shal here\u00b7 here after / he gaf the remo\u0304\u2223med cyte called halappe / To this Ancean of whom I spak to fore he gaf this hye and noble cyte antyoche and lytil lond about / ffor the Calyphe of Egypte helde alle the conntre vnto the boundes of Surye\u00b7 this ancean whan he herd that the grete hoost of cristen men cam. he sent messages and letters. They lightly believed this, for Solyman had come to them, having well assessed what our men could do. Therefore, he also requested much from us, that we would avenge him. Ancean requested that they would defend him. The great barons of Thorient and other high and noble men promised him they would help him certainly. Ancean did not forget in the meantime, but gathered as many people as they could in the countryside around him. He assembled victuals, arms, engines, and all other things necessary for people besieged. He entreated the citizens of the town earnestly that each man should make provisions and arm himself as much as he could. Then the citizens of the town went to villages and other places around it and brought all in to the city. Wine, oil, and all kinds of beasts were brought in so much that the town was marvelously garnished with high, powerful, and noble men. men had come from the forests where our people had passed, which were fled into this strong town to keep themselves. It was said, and it was true, that there were in the city over 7,000 horsemen, all armed and ready. And of footmen there were more than 20,000. Our men approached the city so near that they saw it near them. After they had assembled to take counsel on how they should proceed, for some of the barons counseled that they should wait until the new time of the year, for the winter was coming on, which would be very harsh for them to endure. On the other hand, there were many of their forces spread about in the cities and castles, which could not easily be assembled until after the winter. Furthermore, they said that the emperor of Constantinople would send great numbers to help them. Therefore, it was reasonable for them to wait. Additionally, on the other side of the mountains, they expected help from... They should have people fresh, whom they greatly needed, for tasking such a town. And in the meantime, the people and their horses could sovereign all winter in the countryside around, and be fresher and harder and stronger for enduring travel and pain when it was needed. The other barons agreed that they should set the siege forthwith without delay. For if the enemies in the city had respite, they would arm themselves with more men, with armor, engines, and other supplies than they had then. Those coming also should hasten themselves if the city was besieged to help them. To this counsel agreed finally all. They ordered their battles & came before the town. There they lodged on the tenth day of October. In our host were men well-armed, to the number of C, C, M, without women, children, and other men who bore no harness. And yet they could not all besiege the city, for without the mountains, where it was thought. In the foot of the hill, no siege was at the river's edge, a large part of the wall unable to be encircled with people. In the approach of this great host, there was much great clamor and noise of buysins, horses, people, carts, and chariots. But on this day and the following morning, there was no noise, as if the town had been entirely deserted, and no one in it. This was due to the great garrison of people and other things within the city.\n\nAntioch contained within it, there were five gates: one was named the St. Paul's Gate, because it was under the monastery of St. Paul, which hangs on the territory; the second was toward the west. The length of the town was between these two gates, and it was named the St. George's Gate. On the side toward the river, there were three gates, all of which issued toward the river. The gate above this one is named the Dog's Gate. There is a gate before this gate, by which men pass the marshlands. Under the city walls, there are three gates. The second is named the Duke's Gate. The river is a mile long from these two gates. The third is named the Bridge Gate because the bridge is there, through which men pass the river. Between the Duke's Gate, which is in the middle of these three, and this last one on that side, the flood of the town approaches, which runs joyfully to the walls. Therefore, our men could not assault. For no one could come there unless he crossed the river. Buymont besieged the aforementioned gate, along with those who came with him. Besides him, lodged downstream were Robert, Duke of Normandy, Robert, Earl of Flanders, Steven, Earl of Blois, and Huon le Maingre. They had surprised the lodgings of Buymont up to the Gate of Thounde. The Frenchmen, the Normans, and the Bretons were with them before this gate. Then, Earl Remont was lodged there. of Toulouse and the bishop of Puy, along with those who came with them. These included the provencal Gascons, the Burgundians. There were many great people. They took control of all the land up to the gate next to it. At this gate were lodged the Duke Godeffroy, Eustace his brother, Baldwin, Earl of Henawd, Reynold, Earl of Toul, Guemes de Montagu, and other barons who always accompanied these princes. The Lorraines, the Henneguerns from Sessougne, the Baugere and the Francois were also there. They took control of almost all the land up to the bridge's yard. On this side, towards the town, there was a great abundance of apple trees, fig trees, and other fruit-bearing trees. Our people cut and harvested them all to lodge themselves. The people of the town held the manor and the battlements of the walls, marveling greatly at the Arms, the tents, and the fashion and manner in which they lodged themselves. They were in great doubt, for they knew that so many and great people would not easily depart from this siege without causing them great damage and harm. There were many who were so terrified for their wives, their children, and their other friends that they wished they had been dead and buried long before, so that they would not have to witness the destruction they anticipated.\n\nPeople who were thus lodged found no pastures for their horses or other beasts nearby. Therefore, they often had to cross the river and run through the countryside. They did this many times because the town had not yet surrendered. It was a noisy and grueling thing to cross the river, for there was no bridge, but only a ferry for both horse and man.\n\nWhen the Turks of the city became aware of this, they sent their people secretly over their bridge and they killed our men whom they found scattered in the countryside. This death they surely understood, by. They could not return but by the river, and the hosts could not support them. Therefore, our barons advised them to construct and build a bridge in some manner, by which they might pass without danger from those in the town. They found ships in the lay and above in the river, which they joined to the bridge and set planks on, and nailed them in such a way that three or four men could pass abreast. This bridge eased all passage. This bridge was near the lodgings of Duke Godnamed, the duke's yate. From this bridge to the bridge of stone was a great mile, as I told you before. Much harm was done to our people by this yate and by this bridge named the Porte of the Hound. For they had gathered a bridge of stone by the town of Diverse Waters to construct, which ran there. By that bridge, they made their assaults day and night upon the people, opening the yates, and issuing out upon their lodgings. diverse they hurted and slew many. And when they had done, they returned into the town. It happened that the bishop of Poitiers, the earl of Toulouse, and other barons who were there, were more hurt in their bodies than all the others.\nThis people had great contempt and great shame for the damages and harms that were thus inflicted upon them. And they consulted that they would beat down the bridge. And there they came all armed under their shields of iron and great multitude of pikemen. And they began to strike to break the bridge. On the other side, they of the town were on the walls and towers which threw great stones and shot to break the bridge. They were willing to leave their enterprise and return from thence. After this, they thought of another thing and made a new castle of wood. And set it against the bridge to keep it so that they should not pass over it. It was much work and pain to make it. When it was set and dressed, the earl garrisoned it with his men. They addressed their guns and engines at this castle and struck it with great stones. The men in the towers shot arrows in great numbers, preventing anyone from remaining in the castle or near it. One day, our men drew them away from the bridge and its surroundings. The castle's inhabitants opened the gate and exited through the routes. Three of them fled, while the others set fire to it and burned it to ashes. Our men realized they were not fighting effectively and ordered three guns to shoot stones at the bridge. The Turks did not emerge from there while the shooting continued. However, as soon as it ceased, they came out and made their assaults as they had done before. This greatly displeased our barons that they could not find a remedy against the Turks' emergence. Eventually, they agreed to take large stones from the Rock, suitable for a gate, and block the passage. They took a hundred men and more. The gate caused great trouble and pain to construct, but those lodged there kept all armed, ready for those who brought the stones. In this way, the gate was stopped, preventing the Turks from making further assaults.\n\nOne day, three hundred men from the host exited, both on foot and horseback, and spread through the countryside as if on a foraging mission. It was the custom of a host to go out frequently and return without damage or harm. They had assumed they would be safe. The townsfolk, upon seeing them, came out in great numbers and went over the stone bridge, intending to attack those who seemed to be acting foolishly. Some they killed, and others fled, but the enemy was already there, defending the way. Many of our men were drowned in the water that they had supposed would carry them over, while others were defeated. Our men recaptured the Turks who had killed and disarmed our men and carried away their prey and plunder. They pursued them and the Turks fled, and our men pursued them up to the stone bridge. The townspeople, seeing their men in such distress, passed over the bridge and ran towards our men, who would have defended them, but they could not withstand the great number of people and fled. The townspeople followed them, causing them great damage, until they reached the bridge of ships. There they assaulted them so fiercely that many armed men fell into the water and drowned or were lost. Our man on horseback\n\nIn this way, the Turks were in great distress, for they were besieged rather than us. There were many of their enemies in the woods and mountains who often attacked our people when they saw them going without order. And the townspeople came out whenever they pleased, in such a way that our men dared not stray far from the host because of them. The Turks assembled a great multitude of people to attack from one side, while the townsfolk would issue from the other. I shall relate to you only what pertains to the common people. The siege had lasted for three months. Provisions began to fail, and they had initially had abundant supplies for men and horses. But they wasted more than necessary and, as a result, suffered great scarcity of provisions for themselves and their beasts. The people were in great peril, assembling in groups of two or three to seek arms and search the countryside for supplies. They went beyond the walls and found the towns well fortified because they were far away. They thought that no man should rob or take anything from them, and thus brought provisions to their hosts. But when the Turks of the town and those in the countryside had perceived this, they made ambushes and ran upon our men when they returned or went out, and sometimes slew all who did not return to bring tidings to their hosts. Therefore, they dared not go out foraging. The death toll was great in their ranks, and every day the famine grew so severe that a man could eat well at a meal with only four loaves of bread. A cow was worth four marks of silver, which a man could have at the beginning for eight shillings or ten pence. A lamb or kid was worth six shillings, which had been worth but three or four pence before. The food for a horse for a night cost fifteen pence. There died many for hunger in such a way that at the beginning of the siege, the horses were numbered at 170, and at that time there were scarcely 200 left. They were so poor, weak, and lean that unless they... myght help any man / the tents and pavilions rotted / for it rained continually a rain so thick and great that no cloth could sustain it\u00b7 therefore many in the host died for cold and disease\u00b7 Their clothes rotted on their backs because they could find no place to dry them\u00b7 there was such great mortality in the host / that hardly could men be found to bury those who died / Many who saw this great danger and peril in the host went and departed privately to Rages where Baldwin was / & into Sicily where other cities were also / Thus many were slain. And great plague and famine did decimate the host / And the host was so minished that there were not half so many people as there were at the beginning\n\nOccasionally, the barons assembled to find a way to retain the people who were departing / & also in what manner / and how they might provide for the host / They concluded that one party of the barons should have a great number of men with them / & go right. depe into the land of the paines to bring supplies and all they could find and get from their enemies. To this were chosen Buymont and the earl of Flaunders to serve under the earl of Toulouse, and Huon de Mont to govern. The duke of Normandy was not followed for the gain was not great. When the Turks of the town saw this host grow wide and diminish, they knew for certain that the earl of Flanders, Buymont, and the duke of Normandy were not there. The duke of Burgundy lay in his bed sick. They prayed and doubted much the less the remainder. And took counsel that they would make an assault by the bridge, but those who kept the host were warned and were all armed and came against them and slew many of the Turks who were coming and were many great men of the town. When the other barons saw this, what for sorrow and for fear, were discomfited and fled again into the town. But a great misfortune happened to our people, for as the. The Turks fled, one of them was beaten off his horse. His horse fled towards the lodgings. Many of our men ran after to win him. The common people and others who saw the horse thought our men had been defeated and were fleeing before their enemies. And they began to flee as well. Others, seeing them flee, fled in such a way that all turned to rout. When the Turks saw this and realized our men had defeated themselves, they returned and crossed the bridge. They began to chase those who had fled and beat and killed them from the stone bridge to the bridge of the ships. Thirty-one of our men were killed on horseback, and even more on foot. The Turks returned to their city, expressing great joy and feasting for this journey.\n\nByvmont and the Earl of Flanders, who were sent by common council, entered the enemy's land. They found a very rich town full of things they had not yet obtained. These two. The barons sent their spies in various parts of the land to seek more victuals and found that a large company of Turks were ambushed near them, intending to attack when the barons went out foraging. They ordered their men to follow closely. The Earl of Flanders encountered these men and assembled his forces to fiercely engage in battle. The battle was long and cruel, but the Turks could not endure it and fled before the barons arrived. Gadwold's men were left to defend weakly with their swords and maces, which was uncertain for them. However, when the barons' men charged at them, they could not sustain it and fled immediately. Our men followed them in their wings and killed many of them. They captured horses, mules, armor, and robes in great quantity and returned to the host with great victory and great gain. Great joy. They were made welcome in the host when they arrived, and all were refreshed and reported their diseases that they had long suffered. They had provisions for a reasonable time, but it did not last long that which they had brought with them. In this time came tidings from Rome that doubled their sorrow and anxieties, and their diseases doubled. It was said, and it was true, that a high-ranking man and powerful Duke of Brabant, named [name], had a valiant heart and great desire to go after them. He took from his father certain goods and led with him a vassal, C, knights, and other young and well-armed men. He hastened much to overtake the host of the Frenchmen, but he could not overtake them, for he arrived late, and had none in his company but men from his own country. He came to Constantinople, where the emperor did him honor, and after that he went to Nicene with all his company. They lodged between two cities, one named Pharamon, and the other Terme. There they did not behave as they had intended. ought to do so, but they assured us overmuch. One night, a large party of Turks who had espied them attacked suddenly and began to slaughter them in their beds. Some, however, who perceived them and ran to their arms, came against the Turks and sold their lives dearly. But in the end, they were all slain, and none escaped except three or four at most.\nLatius, the disloyal Greek whom we have spoken of before, whom the emperor had delivered to our people to lead and conduct them, had treacherously taken charge of the host and the barons' rule up to this day. He now appeared to us. He saw that the affairs of the host were not in good shape and in a bad disposition. He doubted much, for he was full of cowardice, and thought the pilgrims should one day be surprised by the town's Turks and all. He spoke secretly to one another and counseled them to leave the siege. All the host should depart into the cities that we had held for a new time. For it was certain he said that the emperor had sent for great reinforcements as soon as he could find grass for the horses. And he himself, because he loved the work of our lord with the noble men that he had, would endeavor upon him for the common profit. He himself would go diligently to the emperor for robes him with his host and all the victuals that he could find. And to bring him, many of the barons knew on this point his falseness. They perceived that he sought a way to flee. They did not restrain him but allowed him to go his way. He made a show of returning and coming soon again and left his pavilions and some of his men to whom he had perhaps said that they should follow and come after, or else he did not know what might come of them. Thus. The devil had taken him away, and he departed. By his words and the example of his departure, many men began to leave the host and paid no heed to their lords or the oaths they had made. They went one after another in secret. The famine was great in the host. The barons could find no remedy or counsel, for truth, they sent two and two of the greatest lords with large companies of men to procure provisions. They went boldly into the enemy's lands, deep and far. Slaying many who would have defended their passage, but they brought back no provisions. For the Turks of the country, perceiving that our people went to seek provisions, had led away all their beasts and provisions to the mountains and desert places where none could come, and some had hidden them in the woods and caves beneath the earth, which our men could not find. Famine, mortality, and many others. other Perrylls ceased not to cease from troubling the people of our lord. The noble and wise men of the host, who were true and religious as the bishop of Poitiers, acting as the legate for our holy father the pope, and others spoke to them. They said it was much to fear and doubt that our lord was angry with his pilgrims for their sins. Therefore, they advised that they would speak with the barons to make peace and come to an accord with our lord. This was agreed upon by the consent of all the men of the host, and it was ordered that they would fast in prayer and penance for three days, crying mercy to our lord in the hope that he would pardon their transgressions and have mercy on them. This was done with great weeping and wailing of heart. After this, it was commanded that all the common women of evil life should be expelled and driven out of the host. It was proclaimed throughout the host that whoever after that was taken in adultery or fornication should have his head struck off. Immediately, the dronards of the taverns were. players of dice and the greater others were defended upon the same pain. False measures and all such things were commanded to be left and eschewed. Wise men and true were chosen to take heed for punishing the malefactors. After these ordinances and statutes were some found culpable in the same, where were they punished therefore, that the others were chastised by it. When the people were amended unto our lord, the mercy of our lord came without tarrying on them, for the duke Godfrey, who was their standard-bearer, had been long seeking. By the occasion of his hurt that he had taken in the land of Picardy by a spear, as it has been said before, was now suddenly come to good health. All they of the host had much great joy, and believed firmly that their penance and prayers had lengthened his life and spared it. Great renown spread through all the regions, and toward the countries of the south, a great number of people came. The countries where the sun sets had come and besieged the noble city of Antioch. It was a great thing indeed. But the news was much greater without comparison. Each of the ruling lords of that country and lands had sent their spies into the host, and there were so many that they did not cease to come and go, and continually. Nothing could be done or said in the host or in the lodgings but that it was immediately known in the pantry. It was a thing for them to be with our people in those countries and in the language of Hermes. They took their cue from the Greeks and from them of Hermione. There were many such people, the barons consulted with them on how they might evade and purge the host of this pestilence of spies. For they held them in great fear and great danger that their lineage and purposes should be known in the lands of their enemies. And it was no light thing to know who were such spies. Among other things they. Buymont, a man of great wit and high heart, found no other remedy but to keep their counsel secret and say less to the people than they were accustomed to. Buymont, who was wise and prudent, willingly took charge of the matter and departed from the council. Buymont did not forget what he had promised. When it was time for supper, he disposed and ordered him to supper. He made the knights of his country take out some Turks he had in prison. And their throats were cut, and they were arranged to be roasted. Then they demanded what he would do. Then Buymont said to his men, and his men also said to others, that all the barons had thus ordered and sworn that all the spies who might be taken should be roasted and secured at the tables of the barons, and the barons would eat them by their oath. These tidings were soon spread throughout the host that such justice was done in Buymont's lodgings. All. Men ran there to see this marvel / The Turks themselves, who had come to host to spy us, were greatly afraid. Each one thought long that he had departed from the lodgings, doubtful that they would be served in the same way. After they returned home to their lords who had sent them, they said to them and told all about the country. Such men as came for tassige Antioch suffered much illness and were harder against travel and labor than stone or iron. Of cruelty they passed all borders and lions, for the wild beasts and public enemies were published in all painemies. That after the Sultan and the great admirals could never find a man who would come and spy out the host. Those in the city besieged were so terrified and had such fear that from that time on, the counsel of the barons was better kept and more secretly than before. Among other miscreants, the Caliph of Egypt was the most. The mighty and richest of men, he sent his messengers to the barons who were there. I will tell how and by what occasion great hate and much strife has existed between the Turks of Thoryen and the Turks of Egypt. This has been ancient and long-lasting due to their discord in their creed and misbelief. Each said to the other and yet do the same, as I have said before in the beginning of this book. Therefore, they have often been at war. Sometimes one party is above, and at other times the other. In the time that our people were before Antioch, this caliph, whom I speak of now, held all the land of Egypt up to the City of Suez, which contains well over thirty journeys in length. The Sultan of Persia, a little before our people came, had conquered the town of Antioch, as I have said before. Now, the caliph of Egypt held the Sultan of Persia in great suspicion and much desired his destruction and damage. He took great joy in Solyman's loss of Nicene. whiche Solyman was neuew to the sayd Soudan / and was so enfebled of his men\u00b7 And also plesyd that our cristen peple had besieged the Cyte of Anthyoche / Therfor he sente good messagers to speke to them whiche brought right grete yeftes / And moche ryche presentes / yf they wold recey\u2223ue them / And they sayde that the Caliphe was redy for to gyue to them socoure and ayde right largely of men / of good. and of vy\u2223tayll\u00b7 and prayd them moche derely that they wold mayntene and contenue theyr siege. The barons of our hoost receyued the noble men that were comen and sent from hym honorably and made them to soiourne with them / And they that were wyse knewe anon the wytthyng as ye shal mo we here in redyng hoolly this book\ntHe lord of Anthyoche and the other grete and noble men of the toun seyng that our men suffred so moche famyne and\nmesease / as we haue sayd to fore / and for alle thyse thynges wolshewed by theyr countenaunces that this trauayl greued them not / wherfore they were moche abasshyd. And thenne An ancient leader, with the advice of his men and his most wealthy neighbors, sent messengers and letters asking them earnestly, for the honor of their law, for their own salvation, and out of love, to come and support them without delay. He instructed them on how to approach Antioch secretly and hide near a bushment nearby. They were to come at a specific time to the bridge, for there they were to ambush them and engage them in battle. While the enemy was occupied in fighting, those hidden should suddenly emerge and attack from behind. In this way, they would be surrounded, with no one able to escape. Those who heard these letters and these messengers were greatly suspicious of us, so they gladly agreed to this plan. They gathered the Halape and Cezare tribes. Haman and his people were a great number, and they carried out their plans as secretly as possible. They began to approach Antioch and came to a castle named Haran, which is now about 14 miles from then. They lodged there and waited until the skirmish began between the pilgrims and the townspeople. Our Christian men were in great danger, but there was one thing that saved them on this occasion and at other times: there were Christian Hermits and Syrians in the city who informed the barons of Thoste about the outcome of the negotiations with the Turks. The barons assembled immediately to take action. It was agreed among them that all those who had horses should be armed and ready on horseback as soon as it was night, and that each man should draw up in battle formation as assigned, and then issue out. Though they made no noise, the people on foot should remain still and be ready to defend the lodgings if anything threatened them. As soon as it was night, they issued out as commanded. They passed the bridge of ships. And they were not passing the fifth C company on horseback. They came to a lay by the side of which I have spoken before, and the river named hell, which is not more than a mile from that other. There they rested this night. Their enemies, who knew nothing of their coming, were this night passed the bridge which is upon the river of hell. In the morning, as soon as our men perceived the day, they armed themselves and made up six battalions for themselves. The Turks had sent out their corps beforehand, which came and said that the great people were coming against them. They sent two of their battalions forward. Afterward came the great people. When they approached, they were in great despair. The archers approached first, who shot thickly, but our men struck them down. With the spheres pressing heavily upon them, causing them to flee and compelling them to their great battles. They were in such a desperate situation between the river and the lay that they could not stand firm or ignite their fires. The barons and men-at-arms performed well. But the Turks, who had lost the art of fighting, could not defend themselves or endure the onslaught. The chaos lasted for x miles. The Turks within the castle of Herne saw that their men were all discomfited. They set fire to the castle and fled. But the Hermans and other Christian men among them, who were numerous in the castle, recovered the fortress and yielded it to our men when they arrived. This day, the Turks slew more than 2,000 men. They took 5,000 heads of the best-equipped among them as a sign of victory. They won there a great and mighty horse herd, which they had great need of. Thus, they returned to their lodgings, charged. The citizens and inhabitants of Antioch had heard news that the Turks, who had been discomfited, were departing and making their way to come to their aid. Therefore, they had their eyes open to hear tidings of their approaching army, and were all armed and ready to make an assault by the bridge as soon as they saw them. But when they saw that the night had passed and the day came without any news of their approach, their spies made them certain that our men were going out against them. So they took heart and issued out to the lodgings, for our men were not yet returned to the hostel. They assaulted them fiercely and relentlessly, so long that some of those in the plains within the town went out on the tours and on the walls because our men who were fighting were being overwhelmed by their people. That which should come, and as our people approached the Turks, they perceived that the others who remained were discomfited because our men came joyfully with all their spoils. Then great sorrow arose through the town. Our men approached the town and did throw in two cannon that he had brought with engines into the city to make them certain of their victory. And yet to those who should not forget their sorrow that had entered into their heartsholds, it remained in their sight when they came to the defense. The number of those who were discomfited were twenty-eight men. Thus were some great Turks taken and brought prisoners. This was done on the sixth day of the month, in the year of the incarnation of our Lord, M, 1497.\n\nAll the barons of Thost took counsel and agreed that on a territory which was at the tents of Buymont, a customary place should be made. And this tower was a bastion of Thost, just as they had designed and ordered, so it was made. without the Turks and valiant men were set in this fortress in large numbers. All were assured as they had been within the walls of a good city. The siege had endured for over a month. A Genoese ship came there which had brought pilgrims and supplies. They arrived at the gate and set them in the river of Hell as it falls into the sea. They had sent messages often to the host that they should fetch them by some of the great barons with good company so they might be safely conducted into the host. The men of the town had then perceived that messengers went and came from the ship to the host, and sent out men who killed some of them. Therefore, none dared go without great company. Our barons had advised making a great fortress at the end of the bridge, which the Turks had and would station men of arms there to keep and defend the bridge if the Turks would come. However, because people were issuing out of the host for trading, this was not done. The chosen barons were sent to the ship. Among them were people who were to bring news from their countries and would have returned but dared not. Buymont, the Earl of Toulouse, and Evereard du Puyssat were chosen to lead the return journey. The people of Antioch heard that the said barons had departed and were heading towards the sea. They sent out four of their most noble knights to lie in wait for them.\n\nFour days after our men set them on their way to Rotorone and provided them with armor, horses, and supplies, they paid no heed to those in wait. Suddenly, the Turks attacked them at a pass. Buymont had the vanguard, and Evereard followed. The cry grew loud when the Turks saw these noble men and held them all in check. They began to torture them. People on foot who should hold them together. They of the great affray who heard it. For fear that they had hidden them in the bushes and fled into the mountains and woods, and took no heed of what they brought. When our barons saw this, they knew well that their strength was not equal to theirs. And they began to come to the lodgings gradually with as many men as they could conduct. The others who would not follow were all killed / there were killed well over three thousand men and women. During this time, the host arrived. All those coming were all killed and put to death by the Turks who had espied them. Of the barons who conducted them, it was not known whether they were alive or dead. The Duke Godfrey, who was not idle, had great anguish in his heart for the people of our lord who were thus lost. He let it be proclaimed that all men should arm themselves for the host on pain of death. And that none should remain behind in such a great work. All assembled. passed the brygge of the shippis / & they made \u00b7v / bataylles / robert duc of Norma\u0304dye lad that one.

They will not keep these in order but will act foolishly instead, which will be to our advantage. Therefore, if it is so that we are already prepared to serve our lord, for whom we departed from our countries, we have steadfast hope in him, for he rewards his soldiers well when enemies come to us. Receive them vigorously with gladness, spears, and swords. Each of you remember in your heart the wrong and shame they have done to our lord and to us. The duke's words were well understood by all and greatly pleased them. They began to warn each other and prepare themselves, remaining ready. Then Buymont arrived and came among them. The lord of Tholouse and they told them of their mission. They had great joy upon their coming and that they had escaped. They comforted each other. Afterward, they advised them according to the counsel of Duke Godfrey. They agreed and said it should be done. And so they all remained there to coordinate. The Ancean Captain of the City, by these signs, knew that his people had defeated the enemy. He doubted their return because our men were issued against them. Therefore, he should arm them and come to the bridge yard to be ready in array to support their people if needed. Our men had sent spies and scouts in various directions to inquire and know when the Turks would come and from what direction. It was not long after. But while they remained there and their hearts were longing to do prowess if they had the time and place, their messengers arrived. When they learned that the Turks were near, they prepared themselves and advanced as ordered. When they saw the right moment and place, they struck their horses with their spurs and charged so fiercely that the Turks were put to flight. Then they began to strike fiercely on the right side and flew into the press in such a way that each man wanted to be the best and most valiant. They gave their enemies no less encouragement on what they should do. They could not endure the great strength of our men but would have retreated toward the bridge.\n\nHowever, the Duke Godefroy, who had forewarned this, had taken a position and held his battle there. All the Turks who came to attack him, he either killed or drove back from where they came, killing them all and taking them captive. The Earl of Flanders performed well this day as a good valiant and hardy man in arms. The Duke. of Normandy broke the press, no Turk dared approach him. The Earl of Toulouse avenged this, as they had made him swear to spare his horse the day before. Hugh, Earl of Saint Pol, and all the other barons, knights, and noble men in their countries did wonders with arms. There was never a man living who saw a better enterprise or people issuing forth as they were commanded to shut the gates after them. They came pressing against our men and would have made their way back, those who were discomfited. But the affray and fear were so great in them that they never made a show of it. They themselves, who had come freely on when they saw the prowess of our men and the great strokes they gave, turned their backs with the others. There was great and marvelous fighting down of the Turks, so intense that men could not pass through with great pain. The noise was so great, the cry so terrible, and the neighing of horses so loud that a maid should not have heard thunder. Those who had made the gates slippery for them were often in peril of losing their lives that day. The wives of the Turks, maidens, and weak people of the town were on the walls and towers where they saw their people torn to pieces and destroyed. They had great sorrow, weeping and much great cry and noise, cursing that time that they had long lived to see such destruction. Ancean saw that he had lost all his men and had no hope of recovering them. He commanded that the gate should be opened to receive those left behind. When the Turks saw the gate open, they had such great desire to enter the town that on the bridge they pressed so evil. The valiant duke filled the water so well that when it was about to depart from the bridge, he gave a mighty stroke. And one, who was to be forever remembered for good and honor, struck so valiantly that none before or after had done the same. There were many heads struck off that day, arms and shoulders at one stroke. He perceived one of his enemies, who was near Godfrey. The valiant duke challenged him often and tried to harm him. The valiant duke struck him with his sword with such might and power that he split him in two pieces in the middle. In such a way that the upper part fell to the ground, and the other part remained sitting on the horse, which entered the city with the others. And know for certain that this said Turk was armed with a good hauberk and was very strong. All who saw this marvel were greatly abashed. The Turks themselves had great fear and dread. myght and strength you grant to your servants who have faith and trust in thee. Such a stroke has not been heard of before this time. That same day, they of Anthyoche lost more than two thousand men. And if the night had not come so soon, they would have been so weakened by men that they would have had difficulty holding and keeping the town against our men. It seemed well that at the bridge there were many Turks slain. For it was thick there with dead bodies. The river that flowed down to the sea was all bloodied up to the sea. Some Christian men of the land issued out of the town and came to our people, who told them that fourteen great admirals had lost the Turks in the battle. They were extremely sorrowful for them, as they were so damaged that they would never be restored in their lives.\n\nThe next day when the day was clear, the barons assembled all to humbly thank our lord for the victory he had given them. Afterward, they spoke of common affairs. Commonly, it was planned. And accorded to all who had intended to make a tour at the bridge's end. To take away the issue from them in the town, and to keep and warrant our people when they approached it. The Turks had buried the dead men who had been slain in the battle by night. When the people at foot learned this, they ran and unburied them. They took them out of their sepulchers and graves, and took away their gold, silver, and their robes which they had buried with them according to their custom. The people of the town were greatly sorrowful because they saw before their eyes the corpses of their friends, whom they had buried at great cost and expense. It displeased them much that the number of their dead men should be known, whom they had supposed to have kept secret. For without those who filled in the flood or river, and without those who were buried in the town, and those who were hurt unto death and buried in the... The townspeople were taken out of their graves in Maomettes' camp, numbering a thousand and five hundred. They cut off three hundred heads and sent them to Temperor. To deliver certain news of the battle they had fought against the Turks. The messengers of the Caliph of Egypt had not yet departed. And when they saw this, they were joyous about the death of their enemies. But they were always fearful and dreaded our people. There were many of our own men who had fled into the woods and mountains, returning to our host. Many came into our host who were supposed to be dead. The barons commanded that the fortress be built and addressed high and strongly as soon as possible. It was built from such stones as we drew out of the tombs and sepulchers of the Turks. And after the barons began to discuss who should keep this town, which was fair and strong, a deep ditch was made first. There were some barons who excused themselves for various reasons why they should not be its keepers. The valiant Earl of Toulouse offered himself and begged that it might be delivered to him to govern, for by the grace of God, he would keep it well. The barons were much obliged to him, and by this means, he recovered their grace and love, which he had lost since the summer due to sickness and illness that he had suffered. He had done nothing before this, but each of the other barons had acted on their own. However, he did more than they expected, for he laid out five marks of silver in the hand of the Bishop of Poitiers and other good men to help restore the damages of the horses that the poor men had taken in the battle. Many were emboldened to go against them again after this. enemies sought hope to have and recover their horses, for this lord of Tholouse was much loved and revered to such an extent that they called him father and warden of the host\nIn this new fortress by the bridge, the lord of Tholouse stationed his men, numbering around 3,000 armed soldiers and valiant knights. Due to this fortress, the young and going out of the town were defended. Our men then went safely in the countryside. The Turks could not issue but by the western gate, which is between the foot of the hill and the river of Hell. This issue could not much harm nor hurt our men, for all lodgings were over the river. But they were not greatly constrained, as long as they had this issue. The barons assembled and consulted how they might take this way from them. They agreed that this could not be achieved unless a fortress was made over the River, which must be delivered to one of the Barons for They accorded well that the fortress should be made, but none professed or said that he would keep it. Many of them said that Tancre was rightly disposed to this thing. But he excused himself and said that he could not bear such great expense. The lady of Toulouse started forth and gave him a mark of silver for making it. It was ordained that he should have every month forty marks of the common. Tancre, who was much valiant and wise, did make this tour. Near a little terrace by the gate, and after receiving it into his ward and keeping it, God gave him so much worship that he lost nothing but kept it whole until the end of the siege. On the side beneath by the river was a much fair plain in which held many fair pastures, and great plenty of trees, three or four miles from the city. They of the town, because they had not pastures enough, had sent great plenty of their horses and cattle to that place, when they of the host arrived. They assembled knights and other valiant men of arms and went on, not by the right way, but by paths and hidden ways, so long that they assaulted those who kept them and slew them. They brought into the host two M horses for men of arms, and besides mules and other beasts, of which they had a large supply. Of this gain they had great joy, for they had nothing so great a need in the host as horses, for they had been much harassed and weakened in the battle, and many died then for hunger and sickness.\n\nThe city was thus besieged on all sides, so that the Turks could not escape. They began within to suffer, for the Turks had not provisioned sufficiently. This happened, so that they could not help them in their need, fresh meat failed them, which grieved them much. Our men had been ordered to go to the Porte of the Sea. By which they had to endure so much as they had suffered all winter, for the prime temperatures and other hardships. swete tyme was come in suche wyse that shippes myght goo and come by the See / whiche brought vytaylles ynowgh.

It was of unusual appearance and remarkably large. When his messengers brought it to the host, a wealthy man named Pancrace from Hermione saw them on the way and took it from them. He then sent the pavilion to Buymont and was presented to him in its name. When the servants of Nicose arrived at Duke Godeffroy's and told him what Pancrace had done, he was filled with great disdain since he held the Earl of Flanders in greater love and familiarity than any other baron. He went to Buymont and demanded his pavilion that had been given to him. Buymont replied that he knew nothing about it, as a nobleman from the countryside had given it to him. But when he learned that Duke Godeffroy would not tolerate it, he returned and delivered it. To him Pauyllon spoke, requesting that no noise should arise between them, allowing our Lord's work to proceed. Thus, they were good friends. Many marveled at how such a valiant man as the Duke Godfrey was, in whom nothing was found to be reproached, could be moved against such a high and noble man for so little a thing as a paillon. I can see no other reason. But a noble heart cannot endure shame. It was late for him to understand that it would be a great shame for him. And it would also be against his honor if he allowed it to be taken away from him. For covetousness, he did not do it.\n\nThe renown was so great, and it grew every day. The Sultan of Persia, who was so rich and powerful, had assembled remarkable numbers of people by the request of those of Antioch. The news did not only reach those of the host, but it was said that many men issued out of the city to join the host as hermits and Syrians. Which were christen, of whom it happened that Steven, earl of Chartres and of Blois, so noble and wise \u2013 for his wisdom, the other barons of the host named him the father of counsel \u2013 made himself seek, as was said. He took leave of his friends. Because he said he would go to Alexandria, the nearest city, and remain there till he was dead or whole, thus he departed, taking with him great goods, and with him went four men who were of his company and of his country. He went straight to Alexandria and remained there, waiting for our people to have victory in the battle they awaited daily. He would then return to the host as strengthened and whole from his illness, and if it had happened soon, he would have entered into ships which were all ready to return to his country. The barons of the host were so abashed and angry at this that they wept hot tears for pity that they had lost such a man. hye and noble man that toke none hede to his gentilnesse\u00b7 to his wytte / ne to the worshyppe that men dyde to hym / But departed so euyl in poynt / that many men had no shame to withdrawe them after hym / Thus departed many / The Barons had counseyl to gydre / And dyde do crye thurgh the hooste. that noman shold be so hardy to de\u2223parte withoute leue / ffor yf ony wente\u00b7 they shold be holden for murdyrere And Iustyce shold be doon to suche men / By this or\u2223denaunce for teschewe the payne and for to kepe theyr honour they held them in peas in thoost / And obeyed alle in pees in the hooste And obeyed debonayrly to the barons of thooste\u00b7 As Monkes or Cloystrers to theyr Abbot withoute departyng ony of theyr companye\naNthyoche this holy cyte that I haue spoken of to fore was conuerted by the prechyng of seynt peter thappostle / alway it helde wel this fayth and yet holdeth certaynly god be thanked Whan the disloyalte and falsenes of mahomet deffended them well ayenst alle suche. wherof it hap\u2223ped that whan the Deuyl had set this false belief throughout the land of Persia to the brass of St. George, and from India to Spain. This city always remained in the faith of the truth of Jesus Christ. It is true that fourteen years before our people arrived there, the great Sultan of Persia had conquered all the lands up to Antioch. Because they were not mighty enough to hold it any longer, they yielded it under the rule of this great man. Then, our men came to take it. Almost all the people of the town held the faith of our Lord. But without fail, they had no power or authority in the city. For they meddled in nothing except their crafts and their merchants to win their breed. The Turks had the battles, and went to war when it was needed. There was none so bold of the Christian men that dared to arm himself, and especially since our people came before the town. The Christian men who were there were held in suspicion, and they dared not issue nor go out of their houses. There were many of such. Christian men of great lineage were shamed; there was a lineage of noble men called Bam and Cyrra, that is, the sons of Harbergers. Some of the same lineage descended from them. And yet, some make hauberks. They had a tower named the Tower of the Two Sisters. In this tower were two brothers who were lords of this lineage. The eldest was named Emerferyus, a very wise and prudent man. He was acquainted with and privy to the lord of the town. In such a way that he had made him his notary within the palaces. This man heard much good spoken of Buymont from the beginning of the siege. And he well understood by common repute that he was a wise man. And truly of great heart and enterprise. Therefore, he sent his messenger to him. And he was privy to all the being and state of the city, and the purposes of the Turks, but they were both two. There were few people about Buymont that knew him. For seven months, the town had endured the siege before him. Buymont the wise and subtle had often tried to befriend the town, seeking to yield it to the Christian men. He frequently sent his son to say, \"Fair, sweet sir, I am certain that our Lord Jesus Christ would have wanted this acquaintance between us and this love. Ever since I have been acquainted with you, my heart has never rested but has grown day by day more and more pleased with your bounty and your manner. I have firm and steadfast hope that I and mine will be greatly helped and honored by you because of this thing that you have revealed to me. I have greatly pondered the ways of both sides, for I am certain that if I can deliver my...\" I will render and deliver the country to the seignory of my faith. I shall have great reward from our lord and great honor in the world. But if it happened that this work was discovered before it came to an end or conclusion, I would be delivered to all the torments of the world, and my lineage effaced and destroyed so that it would never be spoken of again. Nevertheless, I will reveal to you all my heart. To him that I hold for a true friend, if the barons who are in your company grant, that this city shall be yours forever and your heirs, if it can be conquered, I will put myself in adventure so that I shall deliver to you this town that I hold. It is very strong and well fortified. I will do this for God's love and yours. But if they intend that every man shall have his part, as of things gained by war, then I will not. I will not labor or pay painfully, for I have never known to what end it would come. Therefore, I pray you, fair, sweet sir and true friend, take it upon yourselves and your pain to obtain this town not for covetousness but for the profit of the city, Christian. And I promise you that the day I know it will be granted to you, I will deliver to you the entrance of the town. Always one thing I say to you for certain: if it is not made within a short time, you shall never recover it on any day of the world. From the day Buymont heard this, he began to examine subtly and carefully. The hearts of the barons demanded of them what they would do with this city if it were taken. Some of them thought it was near, so they delayed buying time to discover his heart and thoughts until they saw a better point and time. However, he drew apart Duke Godfrey, Hue, Duke of Normandy, and the Earl of Flaundres. To them he said that he trusted so much in our lord that if the city could be granted to him, it could be conquered in a short time. They agreed and greatly praised the wisdom of this man who was willing to accomplish such a great thing. By their agreement, this was revealed to the Earl of Toulouse. He answered that he would never give his part to another man if the city were taken. The barons begged him earnestly but he would not consent. Therefore, the thing was in such danger that it was almost lost. Buymont did not put in the effort, and his friends in the town would not unless the city was taken. In Anthyoche, while these matters were ongoing, the messengers from Ancyra were dispatched to the Sultan to demand aid. At the Sultan's request, and at the pleading of his men, he had undertaken to erase and destroy all our pilgrims who were there. For this reason, he sent a great number of Turks and janissaries into this country. He had delivered the entire host's sovereignty and governance to one of his acquaintances, named Corbagat. Corbagat commanded all men to obey him. He sent letters pendants throughout his lands, ordering that they be delivered over all. Wherever he was to lead them, they were to go. He commanded them to act without contradiction. He departed from his country with all his people and power. He passed so far that he entered the land of Rages. It was told to him that one of the French barons held the city of Rages, which he had conquered and all the land around it. He had great contempt for this and said before passing the River Euphrates, he would take the town and destroy all the Frisian men he found within. Bawdwin was not of little courage. He had well fortified his city with arms, provisions, and noble men. He doubted little his coming or the threats or the great words of these people reported to him. Corbagat commanded that the city of Rages should be besieged. He then cried out for an assault. Great pain they thought they would inflict on the defenders and take the city and all those within. But those who kept the town defended themselves well, causing damage to the attackers. Those without were kept, and they lost nothing. They kept them around the town for three weeks. He gained no worship or profit there. In the end, the great and noble men of the host came to him and advised him to leave the siege. He should first do the thing for which he came, that is, to take and kill all those before Antioch. And on his return, he would have the towns of Rages and Bawdyn, if he were not dead. They would take and bind him, and present him to their lord as a sheep or a moton. He followed their counsel and departed from them. However, the delay caused by the Turks saved our prisoners. The situation was not yet agreed upon between Buymont and his friend, such that if they had come straight to Antioch, our men would have been in great danger between the Turks he brought and the other Turks in the town.\n\nThe news began to grow strongly concerning this people, and it was no wonder if they were. The barons assembled in the host of the pilgrims and ordered, by common accord, that some of their wise men who understood such things as estimating people in the field should go and know their kin. To this were chosen Dreux de Nesle, Clarembault; Evereard de Crescy; and Renard, earl of Toul. They led other knights known and proven in arms with them. They departed from the host so far that they approached the Turks whom they saw and followed them from afar. Nevertheless, they well perceived that, like water runs in the sea, great routs and marvelous multitudes of people came to this host of Corbagat. These noble men went so far that they saw and knew all their being and since drew them to the barons and said to them the truth. The barons prayed and defended them also dearly, as they had the work of our Lord, that they would not discover this thing to the foot soldiers of the host in any way but keep it secret from them. for it should be great peril if they knew the truth and fled away by night, and be all in despair. The barons took counsel on whom the fate and burden of this work lay, how they might contain themselves in this grievous predicament in which they were. Some gave counsel that they should depart from the siege, and that some of them on horseback and they on foot should remain to keep the townsfolk from joining the others, and some other, the best horsed, should lead a great party against Corbagat and fight against him. The thing was in great doubt, and they did not know how to agree. Buymont, when he saw them so surprised, called the duke Godfrey, earl of Flanders, Huon de Mayne, the duke of Normandy, and the earl of Toulouse. And since he said to them these words: \"Fair lords, I see you in great doubt. And it is no marvel, for the coming of this formidable man who brings with him so great numbers of our enemies. Do not be disheartened.\" not yet accorded in what manner you shall attend or what shall be your countenance when he shall come / I cannot tell you as it seems to me and fresh men put into it. If no man abides at the siege, this will be good for them to do. And if there abide a part, they shall not leave for them. For when we are all gathered, neither can we constrain them of the town. Then the few that shall abide, how may they have the force and might against them within? Therefore, I think that we must seek other remedy and counsel that we may find a way this city may be yielded to us. And that we may be within before these Turks come. This will be a more sure thing / if you demand how this may be, I shall show you the way and manner how it shall be, as it seems to me / I have a friend in this City, a true man and wise after that I can discern. We have convened he and I to gather, for which he ought to deliver to me a tower much strong and well garrisoned which he holds / when I shall. I must give him a great part of my good, lands, franchises, and other advantages. But this may not be, except that each of you gives over his part to me, and quits him of any part of the city that shall remain to me and to my heirs forever. For otherwise he intends not to deliver it. If it pleases you in this manner, you may have the town. And if it pleases you not, and you may find another manner, I am ready to transfer all my part to one of you or to another of our company, if he will deliver the city to us. God knows it will please me well, and I shall be right joyous in good faith.\n\nWhen the barons heard this, they had great joy in their hearts. And at once they agreed to this that Buymont required. Every man granted his part that he should be quit of it, except only the earl of Toulouse, who in a... reuerrye wheryn he was sayde / that he wold not acquyte his part ne gyue it oner to noman lyuyng\u25aa The other barons promysed certeynly to holde it / And gaf to hym their fayth that they shold not discouere it to noman / They prayd hym that he wold wysely brynge this mater aboute.

This same day whan he was besy in this werke / he sente his A man, great in his house, went to the town hastily and found one of the great admirals playing and dealing with his mother. When he saw this, he had great sorrow and told him, as if saying these words to his son: \"Fair soon, it seems not at all to these false hounds that they take from us all that we have. And keep us in their servitude. In whom I believe, I shall labor and endure pain to find the way by which their power and might will be lessened, minimized and shortened. And they shall have reward for the evil they have done to us. He showed no sign of anger that he had, but sent his son to Buymont immediately by his accustomed manner. And he commanded him to be ready, for he would hold him that night all his companions. He also commanded all the Barons of Tooste to issue out about none, every man armed in his battle, and make it apparent that they were going against Corbagat. And after this,...\" In the beginning of the night to return privately without noise, and keep them armed and ready to do as will be said to them around midnight. Buymont was joyous when he heard this message and led him before the barons to whom this matter was discovered. He made him say in their presence the words he had brought. The barons, when they heard him, were joyous and said that this counsel was good and faithful and of great courage.\n\nOne thing happened in this town, which is accustomed to come often in great works. Those who had the keeping and charge of the town began to have suspicions in their hearts and decided that the city should be betrayed. They knew no reason or how, nor did they perceive any great semblance. But all along one spoke to the other of the great men, and they seemed that it would fall. So much murmuring and words arose that they assembled before Ancean, lord of the town, and told him that his men were afraid. It was not without reason that the Christian men were in the town. They were in doubt that damage might come to the City from them. They spoke so anxiously to Ancean that he became afraid as well. Anon, he sent for him who was named Emirferyus. He told him how this rumor ran. Since he held him for a wise man, he asked what counsel he would give hereon. The sharp-witted and perceptive one knew at once that his lord asked these words to know if he would answer anything by which he would be suspect. He knew well that this assembly was made there because they had suspicion. He thought it wise to bring them out of this suspicion with his answer and said, \"Fair lords, you are high, noble, and wise men. You ought to show them good thanks. And especially the lord, of this that they imagine and doubt of treason, for in so great a thing as you have to keep, ought to be doubted all that may fall, for we are in peril of our lives and franchises.\" Children and inheritances are things that should be well understood and kept. But it seems to me that advice can be given in this matter in two ways: if anyone were untrustworthy and intent on destroying his country, he should have no power to do so. This thing could not be done or spoken of except by those in charge. Therefore, if you have suspicions, you may be able to remedy it. By frequently removing them from their places, this thing may not be contrived except by great force. And when you change them thus frequently, those who are here tonight will be set the next night far from them, where he will have no knowledge of them, and you will take from them all ease to commune or speak of any treason, when they hear this counsel that this Christian man Emery gave to them. And by this means, they all agreed well to it, and thus, as he had contrived, all suspicion from their hearts that they had against them was filled. If it had not been so late, they could have done it; the lord commanded them to keep the city holy. Departing from the council, Emyrferyus saw that the thing he had undertaken would never succeed if he and Buyuont did not hasten. Therefore, he thought it necessary to bring his purposes to fruition without anyone discovering it.\n\nFrom the beginning of the siege, the Turks of the town had great suspicion of the Greeks, Surrenes, and generally all other Christian men who dwelt in Antioch. Consequently, the poor Christian men, who did not have sufficient provisions in their houses for a long time, made them leave the town and all their belongings. They did not want the city to be charged or encumbered with them. They returned and never stayed as long as they found no rewards. Instead, they led them and beat them through the streets. They were treated in such a way that they would have preferred to be expelled from the town. At the beginning, they were accorded only eight days to speak to Emryferyus' friend from Buymont, who intended to kill all the Christians and would have done so if one of the town's admirals had not intervened. Fair sirs, I hope that the Christians who have besieged us will depart from the siege within eight days due to corbagat's approach. And if they depart, why should we kill the Christians in this town? But if they do not depart, then you may do as you have planned. These eight days had passed. I commanded those in charge to announce through the pilgrims' host that all those who had horses should be armed and that each man should go to his battle station, where he was constituted and ordered to do as his captains commanded. The men were doing so. Foote knew nothing about what they should do, neither he nor the horsemen, except those from Buymont who had warned them. Thus, they departed from Thost all in order. It seemed well that they would go far. They went forth until it was night. When it was dark, it was commanded that they should return secretly without any noise, and that they should hold themselves armed in their lodgings. This valiant man Emyrferius, of whom I have spoken before, had a brother with him. But he was not of such courage as he was. The good man had said nothing to him about what he was planning. For he doubted much that he would agree to it. They were to guide in the tour at the hour of none when the host appeared they beheld it by the battlements. Emyrferius wanted to prove and know the courage of his younger brother and said to him, \"Fair, sweet brother, I have great pity for these high men that you see there. For they are of our race. Much faithful and good Christian men. Now ride they also.\" Certainly. If they should not doubt. And their death is near, for it may not be that they can resist against those who come and against those of the town. If they knew it, I believe they would take other counsel. His brother answered, \"This is a foolish pity that you have, and I see you in great merriment. It would please me well if the Turks had now smitten off all their heads and slain them all that you see there depart. And all the others in the same way. For never since they entered into this land, we have had no good day or one good night, but have made us suffer many evils because of their coming. Therefore, I may not love them. But I would that they should have an evil ending and that right soon.\" When Emirfery had heard these words, he doubted what to say to his brother about his purpose, but from this forth he doubted no more and began to hate him much in his anger. He thought well that by him might be destroyed the great avenue of (the enemy). Cristendom Therefore he was in great anguish about how he might deliver him. By Montfort slept not this night. For he should have been much displeased if through his negligence this work should be delayed. He went often to the barons who knew of this matter for counsel. He held in his hand a ladder of cords skillfully made. Above it should be fastened to the cruciform of the wall with good and strong iron crochets, and for fastening it there as well. When it came about midnight, he took his messenger who knew his secret privately and sent him to his friend to know if it was yet time for him to approach the walls, for he thought that the whole city was in much peace and rest. When this messenger came, he had him wait there silently and say no word until the master of the watch and advised that a noble and wise man should search and examine every night the watch, and correct any mistakes they found. And he went thus three or four times in the night with a great company. A man saw that it was not long before all things were ordered well and in good disposition. It pleased him well and he proceeded. This man saw then that it was time to perform his work. He said to the messenger, \"Go diligently and tell your lord that it is time to do well and that he come before this tour to ensure good company and truth.\" The messenger departed immediately. Emyrferyus entered the tour and found his brother sleeping deeply. He feared he would awaken before the work was accomplished and disrupt it. Therefore, he took his sword and ran it through him twice, killing him. The messenger came to Buymont and told him his errand. He came immediately before the tour. And the other barons with him, who knew of the work, each had but a few with them, but they were good and true. Emyrferyus put out his head and sold it to them, and they resold him one. Afterward, they drew a cord down by the wall and bound it. Buymont was the first to reach the battlements and attach himself with the iron crochets above. None were brave enough to go before him. When Buymont saw this, he took the ladder first, acting valiantly and boldly ascended until he reached the battlement. Emyrferyus recognized him immediately and seized him by the arm, kissing his hand. Buymont went onto the wall and kissed him back. He thanked him for the service he had rendered. Emyrferyus led him into the tower and said, \"Behold and see what I have done for God and you. This man you see here is my brother Germain. I have killed him because he would not agree to this work that you and I have undertaken.\" Buymont was filled with great joy, for from then on he knew that his friend acted in good faith. Then the cruel men came and beheaded him, calling his people to come up diligently by the ladder. They dared not go up, always suspecting it was a deceit. Buymont, who was very bold, urged them on. Valiant and Iust placed their foot on the ladder and descended, saying to the fair lords, \"You tarry too long. There is no doubt, for this good man has shown me his brother whom he has killed for our love.\" Hearing this, they all took hold of the ladder, and mounting up, there were men enough on the wall to garrison various towers. The Earl of Flanders went up, and Tancre for Tancred's sake, to determine how they should proceed, as the first tower was well garrisoned with men. They ran to the other towers and slew the watchmen and held the tours. Some of the barons remained at the foot of the ladder to conduct the host. When they saw that they had men on the walls who could garrison diverse towers, they ran hastily to the lodgings to arm the people and draw nearer, so that they might all be ready to enter when our men were on the walls. They were not idle, but noble and hardy in such a way that. They had taken all the towers in the area. Slain all they found therein. The city was not yet measured nor awakened. The great men of the town, having heard the noise, assumed certainly that they had slain the Christian men, as they had commanded, and that this affray was for no other reason. They did not move from their beds. In this party, our people arrived and broke open the locks and opened the gate in such a way that many entered. And after came to the great gate, which was called the gate of the bridge, and slew all the watchmen keeping it. After opening the gate, a squire from Buymont's house ran to a high tower which was on the terrace by the town's donjon. There the banner of Buymont's lord was fixed. When our people in the town perceived that the day was near and the dawn appeared, they made their trumpets sound and understood the sign. They attacked the surprised enemy in what point. They began to flee from their houses and led their wives and children with them when they fled from one rank of our men. Another greater force arrived and slew them all - the Surreyens, the Hermiones, and other Christian men of the town, upon seeing this, rejoiced greatly and took up arms hastily, joining our men and showing them the places where most people were. They gladly slew the Turks, avenging the beatings and torments they had endured. Thost entered the town. The barons had raised their banners on the towers. Great occasion and slaughter had taken place in the town. They spared no man, woman, or child. They broke down doors and chests. You would have seen gold and silver departing in the streets. It seems well that the town has been conquered and won by war. What shall I make long descriptions of? There were slain from the town that day more than XXXX of whom. bodies lay bare in the ways and streets when Ancean saw that the city was thus betrayed, and that his people who could escape fled in haste into the fortress of the donjon. He hesitated to go there, for he thought well that the Christians would immediately attack this tour if he entered. Therefore he issued out at a posterior through the town. Alone, as if out of his wits, he did not know whether he might go or flee to keep himself. When he felt himself far from the City, certain Hermins met him and marveled at what this might be. They approached him as if they would have greeted him as was their custom, but then they took him and struck him down there. Afterward, with a sword, they struck off his head and carried it into the town. They presented it before the barons before the people. One manner of people had come into the town which was not of the town, who had come for some reason. They defended their law and others for being sold, and some for prowess in arms, and to gain honor and prizes. These people did not know the layout of the town well and were mounted on horses, all armed, and began to charge towards the hill toward the dungeon. By chance, they encountered a patrol of our men in the town. These people would have shown themselves and driven their horses towards the valley, and fallen down from a bank in such a way that they were all bruised, horse harnesses and equipment. There were indeed deaths: three, C. Some were born in the town when they discovered in the morning that our men were within. They took their horses and rode out by the gates that our men had opened. Some of our men went after them and sued them, bringing many of them back whom they put in prison. Some others escaped and ran to the mountains. About the hour of terce when the town was searched, our people assembled and immediately. Perceived that in all the town was no vitality, and it was not wonderful, for the siege had endured nearly nine months and much people had been there suffering the siege, but gold, silver, precious items, jewelry, and vessels of diverse forms, clothes of silk, and rich tapestries, and other things they found so much that each of our men was charged as much as they could bear. It came well to our poor pilgrims to find such riches after the great suffering they had endured. There were found in the town: v C. good horses of arms, but they were right lean and weary. Thus the city of Antioch was taken in the year of the incarnation of our Lord M.lxxxxviij, the third day of the month of June.\n\nThe pilgrims who were there came from many countries by great labor and were then full of shedding the blood of their enemies. The Barons assembled in council and advised among them that this work was not yet perfect. But that there was still travel and peril until the donjon was taken. They were taken and brought to the town's strong fortress, well fortified with town walls. They set up guards and kept watch, ordering all to assemble at the tower on the mountain. When they arrived, they knew this was no light matter. The fortress could only be taken by siege. So they labored little but eventually withdrew, sending the people back. The mountain above the town is divided in two by a deep valley, as steep as a plummet. The side facing Thornton is much fairer, with a plain, broad expanse of vineyards and arable land. The other party, toward the west, is much higher and requires a man to climb up directly. At the summit of the hill stands the donjon, firm and strong with high, thick walls and towers. They are high and great, facing Thornton. And to the northeast, around the donjon, there are... The valley is so deep it seems like a right hell / And it is a horrible thing to behold\nIt could never be imagined how it might be mined\nAnd from this dungeon to the town is a way which is so narrow that with great pain one man alone may go or come.\nThe barons agreed that they would close this little terror and way. To prevent those in the dungeon from descending any further or doing harm to our men in the city,\nThey built a strong wall of lime and sand\nIn which they put armed men and were well prepared.\nThey set stones and engines on the walls, ready to cast stones if the Turks descended and came down.\nThe barons went into the town to take counsel on other works.\nIt was ordered and devised that all men should return and remain there about this new wall until the dungeon was taken.\nSave the Duke Godeffroy, who by common counsel should remain to keep the gate of the east / & the fortress that our men had made outside the gate, which was delivered to him. The great prince Corbagas was reportedly approaching. He had entered the land of Antioch. They were to send a wise man to the sea and tell those going to do their tasks to return quickly and bring all the supplies they could find. They themselves searched the country for supplies but found little. The laborers of the countryside were joyful that the city was in the hands of the pilgrims, as they were of our faith. They brought all that they had hidden, but it was not much. The long siege had devastated the country outside and emptied the town inside.\n\nThe second day after the town was taken, while our people were preparing the city, three hundred men from Corbagas' host arrived, all well-armed and mounted on light horses, to see if they could find any of our men riding. Followingly by the country, they embusshed all except for XXX the best horsed which came before the town. They began to run nicely to draw out our men from array. When our men saw them, they had great disdain and thought it would be a great shame if they found not one to speak to, since they had come so far. A nobleman, whom I have spoken of before, by whom the host had gained many profits through his wit and prowess, was named Roger de Barneville. He was of the company of the duke of Normandy. He took with him fifteen knights from his retinue and came out of the town against the Turks, acting as a noble, valiant, and hardy man, accustomed to doing fair combat. Our men encountered their men, for they were numerous and well-proved in arms. Roger relied on his ligarness with a strong bow and struck Roger through the body in such a way that he fell down dead before his horse. Immediately, his fellows withdrew into the town. The Turks descended upon him and struck off his head. Seeing those on the walls departed, bearing the head; the townsfolk issued out with great cry and lamentation, as if they had suffered great loss. They took the body and buried it with great sorrow in the porch of St. Peter's church. The barons complained much about this nobleman, the best knowing him.\n\nThree days after Antioch was taken, this great prince Corbagus came to the city in the morning at sunrise, with such a multitude of people that all the countryside visible from the highest place in the town was covered by them. The barons saw many more people than they had heard say were there. For their host increased every day. He passed the bridge and lodged between the lay and the river Helle, which is about a mile from one to the other, with such a great number of knights and such a large number of tents and pavilions that the great plain where I have spoken of before, where Antioch stood, was not yet visible. myght not all receive them. But many lodged them in the territory by the time Corbagat had been lodged there for three days. He thought that he was over far from the city and, by his counsel, would be closer to the dungeon which the Turks held, to aid and comfort them. He intended to put men into the town by the gate under the dungeon, where he was lodged on that side. He encompassed from the eastern gate to the western gate the entire side of the town toward the south. On the eastern side was a fortress which our men had made on a little mound, as I have said, and was delivered to Buymont. But when the town was taken and the gate, he delivered this for ransom to others to keep. Some Turks of Corbagat's troops began to assault this tower. Those within did great pain to defend them. But it was overcharged with many. The duke, who was nearby at the gate, saw that his men had too much to do and had good will for\n\n(Note: The text appears to be in Early Modern English, and no major OCR errors were detected. Therefore, no significant cleaning is required.) The duke helped them and intended to dislodge those who had come over there. He issued out with his entire battalion and struck his horse with his spurs toward the front, seeing that there were great numbers of Turks before him. They attacked his men and began to harm them severely. Against one of them, there were ten Turks. The duke knew that his strength was not like theirs and began to withdraw toward the town. But before they could enter the gate, the Turks assaulted them so cruelly that two companies of the duke's battalion were taken and killed.\n\nThe duke entered the town angry about this damage. But when the Turks knew that this had been caused by Boulogne, they took great pride in it. Therefore, they went then to the mountain and entered, surprising some of our men who took no heed. With bows and swords, they killed them. But when they were discovered, our men chased them. They put them in the dungeon where they were safe. They often caused harm because they knew another way to disgrace garnished barons. The barons assembled to consider what they should undertake. Buymont and the Earl of Thoulouse were to dig a deep and wide ditch between the town and the foot of the mountain. They carried out the plan and built a fortress, which they well fortified with armed men. The Turks in the dungeon and those who came in by this gate frequently descended by a covered way to this fortress and assaulted it fiercely. If they had not come and run to them, they would have slain or taken these noble men: Buymont, Everard du Puyssat, Raoul de la Fontaine, Rembault Crecon, and some other lords who were in their company. All of them were great men and good knights. They took many prisoners. The other Turks who escaped came to Corbagat and reported that the men of the town were over fierce and hardy. And when they were at work, they doubted nothing, death or this, nor did Corbagat, who was lodged in the mountain as I have said, derive much profit or honor there. He found no pasture for his horse there, as he had below in the valley. When he saw this, he commanded that he should be dislodged and descended into the valley with his issue by the gate toward the east and blocked their way in such a way that they could not take their horses before they reached the town. He brought them into the town to comfort our people for the death of Roger de Barneville.\n\nAt this time, during the siege of Antioch by the Christian men, who had been besieging it only a little before as you have heard, they themselves were now besieged within. Thus went the changes and mutations of the world. They had much trouble keeping and defending the city. It was dangerous for them that the donjon was so strong and so well fortified as it was. They made frequent assaults against them by day and by night. They came in through the hostel under the dungeon as often as it pleased them. Our men began to be greatly disheartened. There were many who paid no heed to their oaths to maintain the company or to their honor. But by night they descended down the walls by ropes or cords and fled to the sea. And many of them the Turks took whom they had slain and brought into prison. Those who could escape came to the gate saying to the merchants and other pilgrims who were there coming, that they should disanchor their ships and flee immediately. For this prince Corbagas, whom so many followed, had taken Antioch by force and had killed all the barons and all those he found within. They had escaped by great peril and fierce adventure. Therefore, they said to the mariners, that they should depart and flee without delay, for if the Turks came searching the country to the sea and found them there, they would all be delivered to death. Thus they all fled in fear. And they themselves who brought these news went with them. And to make it clear that these were not mere common people, I will name some who held great land in Puy. Aubery, the carpenter, Guy Crossan, Lambert the Poor, and many others were with them. Some went for plunder, and out of fear of hunger and being slain, surrendered to the Turks. They reported the truth of the suffering our men endured for a long time at the hands of the Turks. Many remained in the town who were willing to go, but Buymont, by the counsel of the bishop of Puy, stationed guards at all the gates and on the walls. He ordered that none should go out or in, and they all swore not to depart from the company or break the commands of Buymont. He himself went through the town every night with a great number of men. Lord Corbaget should not betray. Four fortresses he had, which he must keep, and one was on the last terrace against the dungeon, and that other was lower against the assaults they made. The third was outside the east gate, which was made to keep host from entering the town, and the fourth was at the end of the bridge, where the port of the bridge was kept. The lord of Thoulouse kept it first. But when the city was taken, he left it and entered the town. The lord of Flaundres took it and garrisoned it with five hundred armed men, knights and others. For he thought if the Turks took it, our men might not afterward issue by the bridge. By which their strength would be greatly impeded.\n\nOn one day, it happened that Corbaget thought that the people of the town had too much freedom to issue out and re-enter. Therefore he commanded a battle of his people. In which were 2,000 Turks, well prepared to sustain the siege. The siege continued until they were taken. It happened that the Earl of Flanders was within the same fortress. The siege began at sunrise, becoming very fierce and great. There were so many archers around it that they could not defend the fortress well, and they lost nothing. The siege lasted until the sun went down. The Turks departed, all weary. The Earl doubted they would come to assault again the next morning, as they could not endure it there. As soon as it was night, he quickly put out all his men and set fire to the fortress. The Turks had planned to resume the assault and for two more M/ men to come than had been the night before. It was not long after that a Rote of Turks departed from the host of Corbagat. I don't know how many poor pilgrims that went pilgrimaging if they might find any provisions in the country; they took them all and brought them all in captivity. When Corbagat saw them, he despised them greatly because they had no armor and only feeble bows made of wood. Their swords were rusty, and their gowns and habits were old and rotten. Corbagat scoffed, \"These people seem like men who should take away the Persian emperor's empire and conquer the land of Thoryent. They should be content and paid if they had breed and a goat of bacon. Their bows are not strong enough to shoot a sparrow. Now I will tell you what you should do: lead them bound as they are now to my lord the soudan, who sent us here, and tell him not to be afraid of these men, for we have begun war against such men as he can see. Leave me alone with this task, for there will not be many of them left. I will eliminate and destroy them all in such a way that there will be no more mention of them. As if they had never existed.\" They led them thus. Christian men were brought before the sultan, whom they welcomed well in their attempt to honor him. However, it later became a source of shame for him. He thought it a trivial matter to vanquish the Christian men, who had not yet fully tested their mettle. On all sides, the city was besieged. The townspeople could not leave to procure supplies for themselves. They were in dire straits due to a great and grievous famine in the town, which forced them to eat camels, asses, and even horses. Those who could find a dog or cat, they ate in place of great delicacies. For the starving women, no danger prevented them from seeking out such sustenance. The noble and high-born men, accustomed to great honor, had no shame in coming where they ate such fare. They demanded openly whatever they needed. The ladies, gentlewomen, and others. maids were all weak from hunger. They were all pale and thin. Many were forced to beg and ask with great shame. There was none who could keep a hard heart. But he who saw it had great pity. There were many men and women who inquired about their lineage, those who had such courage in their hearts that for no shame they suffered from hunger would not ask for alms at the door. Some hid them in their houses. Some gave them aid. But many who died from hunger had not enough to eat. Knights and other valiant men, who had been strong and noble in their deeds before, were now so feeble and poor that they went by the streets leaning on their staffs and their heads inclining down, asking for alms for love's sake. You would have seen little children begging from their mothers. And the mothers had nothing to eat but threw them down. The streets led to where others should take notice of them. With great pain, you should have found only one man among so many people who had enough, for if anyone had gold or silver, it availed him nothing. He found no food to buy with it. The barons and the high princes, who were accustomed to holding grand courts and giving food and drink to many men, hid themselves now. Because none found them eating or drinking, they suffered greater anguish in their hearts from this famine than the poor people did. For they met every day their knights and men of their countries who died of hunger. And they had no food to give them. It was a long thing to recount all the diseases and miseries suffered in Antioch while the tempest lasted. But so much may well be said. Seldom or never will you find in history that such great princes and their cities were thus besieged on all sides by Turks, and the famine ran so relentlessly. Anguishous were those without, who knew the evil custom of our people, and they did not cease to assault the walls all day long. Those in the dungeon, and those who came in through the gate, made great assaults in the town. They had worn them down so much that our men could not defend them properly and could not even keep the town. For when they had defended them all day long, at evening they had nothing to eat. It happened that a tower on that side, where our men entered, was poorly guarded. And on a night, the Turks came out from it. They perceived that no man was within the tower. Then they took ladders that they had made. And they mounted upon the walls. There were thirty who went to this tower to enter. And this was at the beginning of the night. The master of the watch went searching there. He saw the Turks coming up. He cried, \"Treason! Treason!\" And then Harry Dasque and two of his cousins, one named Frank, awoke first and ran there. They were called the Mathale at the mass. These three struck among the .xxx Turks at their first coming, killing four. The Turks of the town saw them not soon enough. But this lasted only a while. For the men of the tours threw them down to the ground, where they broke their legs and necks. There was none left unharmed but he was dead or injured. There was slain Semer, for he was wounded through the belly. Frank was carried away, who was hurt dangerously.\n\nIn Antioch, famine grew day by day, and many in the town preferred to be slain than to endure this hunger. They put themselves in adventure and, by night, escaped from the town when they could. After they reached the port of the sea, some shipping was still there from the Greeks and Hermions. Many bought and sold provisions. When the Turks had sent two thousand horsemen to the sea, who killed all. Maronners and merchants that they found and burned their ships. Some were lying at anchor and others on the sea side, such as Cyllice, Pamphyle, and others, dared not send their ships there any longer. The people of Antioch were now greatly dismayed, for some comfort from the merchants was coming to them. But they had all lost it when the Turks returned from the sea. They recovered our pilgrims who were going that way, and they slew them all, except some who hid in the bushes. When they of the town heard news of this, they were greatly sorrowful, for they had great anxiety in their hearts as well. Thus they were in great peril.\n\nGilles de Rais and the others who fled with him came to Alexandria the Little. There they found Stephen the Steward, the common people supposed that he would remember how he had departed and return again. They told him of the great sorrow of the famine that was imminent and excused themselves. The truth of the illness was great, but they told much more than was the case. It was a light thing to retain this earl, for he had no great eloquence to return. They consulted among themselves and prepared their ships, entering them and then proceeding to the sea. I do not know how many days they spent at sea. They arrived at a city of the emperors of Constantinople, which was said to have come with all his host, much great and marvelous of Greeks and Latins, and named an enemy. He was eager to uphold the covenant that he had made to support our people with the people of his Empire. And in his company came in forty pilgrims who had remained in his land due to sickness or other reasons. And a great number had come since then. When the Earl Stephen knew that the Emperor was so near, he went straight to him. He brought his cowardly companions with him. When the Emperor saw the Earl. The earl responded in this manner and said to the emperor, \"Sire, the barons of France, who passed through your empire this year, were received so curtly and with great honor by you. When they had taken Nice, which they rendered to you. They went on to Antioch. They besieged that city for six months. They have taken it entirely. They reserved a dungeon that stands on a hill within the walls, which the Turks hold so strongly that it is impregnable. They supposed they had well exploited it when they had taken the city, but then they found themselves in greater peril than before. For on the third day after they entered, a powerful prince of Persia came with a large army. Our people and the dungeon made great assaults on them.\" Our men suffered greatly within, for hunger was so extreme that they had no power to defend themselves. On the other side, they sometimes found comfort from our land, due to the scarcity of the grain and supplies. And from other ports came some victuals that were brought into Antioch. But now, late have the Turks come. They have slaughtered all the mariners and merchants they found at the gate in such a way that no one dares to arrive there now. They have lost all their supplies of victuals, and above all this, the people of the town are grieved night and day by those in the dungeon. For by the yard under it, the Turks can enter and exit whenever it pleases them. We saw that this work could come to no good end in this manner. Therefore, we warned them - both myself and those in my company, who are very noble and wise men - to depart with the least loss they could. The people who followed them should conduct themselves into such a place that they would not be discovered. Delivered to death / Many times we told them in this manner / And never would they believe us. But maintain their reverie; for there are many among them of little reason. We ourselves had been in danger if we had stayed there; nor could we do any honor to our lord or to our profit. Therefore we departed. And we commanded them to God / who saves and keeps them, for they have need / Sir, to whom I am bound in good faith, I advise you that you take counsel from your wise men before you go any farther / Truth it is that you are the most high man of the world / But for all that, you have not here now in your company so many people as Corbagrath has about Antioch. And again, against one of you he has seven; therefore my opinion is, if the other agrees, that before your men are put in such great adventure, you return home again. For if they have achieved their work in the city, you will find them ready, & the closer you approach them, the more shame and disgrace it will be to return from them. when you are so narrow-minded and true, who departed from us for many faults, which he acknowledged when he had finished speaking, the emperor was greatly pleased with him. There was a brother of Buymont named Guyon, who, upon hearing the earl speak thus, was filled with anger and indignation. He declared aloud and angrily that he had not spoken the truth, but that they had departed like cowards. Guyon, who was a gentleman born of noble lineage but not of courage, was restrained by his wife, who was the sister of the same Guyen. Therefore, this Guyen silenced him.\n\nUpon these words that the emperor had heard, he decided to be reconciled and called his barons. They all agreed that the emperor should return from there without going any further, for they thought it was better to avoid harm than to fight in such great danger against Corbagia, and to move against him in hatred and war throughout the land of Thoryen. The emperor clung firmly to the words of the earl. He doubted that the Turks had slain the men of Antioch and intended to go home to receive the city of Nicene and all the land of Bithynia, which our men had delivered to him. He would fortify it when he departed from there. However, when he left, he burned and destroyed all the land from the church to Nicene on both sides. The Turks' supplies began to fail him, and so he had to return. It happened that by the words of this great man, who so suddenly departed from the other barons, the emperor returned. And the Christian people in Antioch lost great support, which could have come to their aid in their great necessity. But they considered this, which was understood to be conveyed to the emperor: yet he did not act on it but only promised. Certainly, it was the work of our Lord. For if this emperor, who came with his people and great power of men fresh, had raised the siege and defeated the Turks, our Lord would not have been so honored. And yet, if the emperor who had come last should have won, their suffering would not have been adequately rewarded. Therefore, our lord allowed the emperor to depart, enabling the work to be accomplished, as you shall hear, to his glory. Ren\u00e9e arrived in Antioch, where the approaching emperor was turned back by the words of Lord Stephen of Guillaume de Gratemeuil and his companions. They suffered anxieties on all sides, but these tidings demoralized them entirely. Despair then set in, and they began to curse Earl Stephen and his entire company for having taken such great aid from them. Crobagat, who knew of the emperor's return, harbored doubts, for it was a significant matter concerning the emperor's intentions. Now, he was certain that he had returned, and he rejoiced greatly in his heart. He rose in fierce pride and pressed on more resolutely against the townspeople. Our men in the town were... Buymont, who had all the power to deal with men for assaults outside and sieges inside, grew disheartened. It seemed to them that their overlord God had forgotten them. They fell into despair and would not endure any trouble related to the defense of the city. All hid in their houses. One day, Buymont, who had the power to summon troops, cried out in desperation that all should come. But none came. He sent his men to fetch them and pondered what to do. In the end, he set fire to the town in various places. Then he emerged into the streets with great retinues. Buymont addressed them and gave them his command. They did as he bade. A rumor spread through the town that many knights and barons had counseled leaving the town by night and abandoning the people within. The duke Godefrey knew this rumor and sent for the bishop of Poitiers hastily. And all the barons and great party of knights, and he filled their feet who would never think such a thing, for if they did, God would hate them, and they would leave their souls, as men in despair of our Lord's mercy. And on the other side in the world, they would leave their honor forever and also their lineage, which had nothing forfeited. They should be shamed eternally and pointed with the finger. The lands out of which they issued should be less renowned and less praised as long as the world endured. Of all these parties, they could never receive good word or honor. By these words and the preaching of the bishop of Poitiers and Meaux, they remained not but the will of our Lord. Often came in their remembrance what riches, wealth, and great easements they had left in their countries for the love of the service of our Lord. And now they received such reward that they died every day from hunger, and it kept them not from these things. dogs were cruel. They would not spare them but slew and beheaded them in contempt and reproach of the Christian faith. In this manner, they mocked our Lord, often as men who knew not what to do or say. While they were in this anguish, the earl Hermann, a high-ranking man from Duchess Land, was in such great poverty that Duke Godfrey gave him every day one loaf of bread out of pity, which was not much. But the Duke could give him no more, for he had nothing left. Harry Dasque, who was one of the best knights of the host, was brought into such poverty that he died of hunger. It would be a long tale to recount all their miseries. But our Lord, who in all His works may not forget mercy, set great comfort for them. For a clerk born in the province named Church of St. Peter in the city, the place where it was, had certainly shown him that he had not come to say or signify anything to them, but that St. Andrew had threatened him at the last moment if he did not deliver his message. The clerk should have appeared in his body. It was no marvel if the clerk hesitated to say this, for he was a poor man and of lowly lineage. These two high men, upon hearing him, brought him before the other barons. They assembled them and demanded that he should speak the same words to them as he had spoken to them when the other princes heard this. The clerks' lack of education did not deter them. They entered the Church of St. Peter. And they confessed their sins, crying out for mercy with tears and wailings. Then they began to dig and dig deep in the place the clerk had shown them. They found the spear just as he had said to them. Then there was such great joy among them, as if each man had had as much as he could. They rang the bells. And the good men who said certainly that certain visions of angels and apostles had appeared to them, forgot much of their afflictions through these things. The bishop of Poitiers and others were also present. holy men who showed them tokens and signs that God would soon send them aid and counsel. They concluded that all noble and common men and women would be delivered from the peril in which they were. And give them victory over their enemies. They should never depart from this holy company until they had conquered Jerusalem, the noble city where our Lord suffered death to save his people, and delivered the holy sepulcher from the hands of the false misleading houses Turks and Saracens who kept it in their power.\n\nThey had suffered from this famine. The Lord had sent them good hope in their hearts, causing them to be much comforted, and filling them all with one will. Among them, it was said that it would be good to bring their sickness to an end. Therefore, their company was in accord that they should fight against the Turks who had besieged them, for they thought it a fairer thing that if our Lord willed that they die in battle, they should do so. The people defended their city that they had conquered for the Christians rather than lingering and falling from within. They decided on battle, the battle, when they saw any of the barons. All of them said that they were delaying too long. This call to battle was initiated by the common people. The barons believed that this enterprise might succeed with the Lord's help. By common accord, they assembled in council. They allowed the people's request and agreed to send two men to the proud prince Corbagat Peter, an holy man known for his wisdom and eloquence, who spoke the Sarasinian language fluently, especially Persian. They charged these two men with the message, as you will hear what they said to Corbagat:\n\nThese two men, before departing, requested true truce for going to the said prince. They were granted audience with Corbagat, in the name of the pilgrims. He welcomed them with good will and they were assigned a company to accompany them. They went so far that they arrived at Corbagat's pavilion. They saw him seated in great pomp among his rich men. Peter did not salute him or show him honor or reverence. But he spoke to him in this manner: \"This holy company of high and noble men, barons, knights, and other people of our Lord God who are within the city, command you to depart from this siege and no longer to assault them. Allow them to have and keep the town in peace, which our Lord Jesus Christ has delivered to them to hold His faith and serve Him. For Saint Peter, prince of the apostles, through whose creation our faith is founded, first converted it by his preaching and the marvelous miracles he performed. Our people have not conquered it.\" long story by the will and aid of our lord against the Turks who have held it wrongfully and by force for a certain time. Therefore, you ought to allow us to enjoy our heritage, and return you to your country. And if you will not do so, know for certain that within three days swords will finish and end this dispute. And to show that we do not desire and will not cause the death of so many people in common battle, they offer this: if you will fight in your own person, they will send against you a prince as high as you are, to whom you shall fight. And which of you may overcome and conquer that other will conquer the quarrel for eternity without further debate. If this pleases you not, take a certain number of your men and go. And those who win and feel anger and great contempt and disdain, then he turned himself toward Peter and said to him: Peter, those who sent you here are not present. I. suche point as I seem to think that they should depart and say to these musicians and tell those who have brought them from the city and come hither, that they do not yet understand the peril that they are in. And believe certainly, if I had wanted to, I would have broken and destroyed this town and set my men in it by force, so that all the Christians, men and women, great and small, would have been slain. But I will that you remain in greater captivity and misery, dying and languishing from hunger, like other hounds. And when it pleases me, I shall enter into the town, and find all men and women of suitable age. I shall bind them all hand and foot in pitiful condition. And I shall lead them all to my lord to serve him. And they shall be his slaves, all\nPeter thereunder understood his pride, which was great and of the great multitude of people that he had, and also of his riches which were excessive. Then he departed and came again into the town. He would. The duke of Godefroy, who was wise and knowledgeable, drew Corbagat aside and called for only the barons. He recounted to them all that he had well retained in his mind and could say and utter in the best manner. The duke doubted that if the people had heard this great pride and Corbagat's threats that they would be overly intimidated and fearful. Therefore, he commanded Peter to say nothing other than that Corbagat desired and demanded the battle against them. And that they should make themselves ready. Peter agreed well to this and said to them as the duke had commanded him. And before Peter had even said the words, but that all cried with one voice, \"We will also the battle against him in God's name.\" They showed well by their sight and demeanor that the desire for the battle was great in them. The heart: All their diseases were forgotten for joy to have the victory. The barons, when they saw that their people made such joy, were much glad and trusted in them even more. By common counsel, they ordered the day of the battle for the morning. Corbagat would have it thus, and they agreed. Each man hastily went to his lodging. There you should have seen armorers putting on point hauberks and helmets, swords and custrelis sharpened. This night they did not sleep in the town, not one. They cried upon pain of death that all men should be in the morning before the sun rose, armed as best they could, and draw him into the battle where he was ordained. And each received the body of our lord, which gave them surety of body and soul. All rancor and wrath were entirely pardoned because they would be in perfect charity. And there they served. In this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love and charity amongst you, when they were ready. Our lord sent to them his grace, which gave to them such great hardiness and boldness that they could not sustain themselves for weakness. They became strong and delivered. In such a way, that the arms they bore seemed to bear nothing, and they were hardy and vigorous. So that there was none so little but he had talent to do great things in the battle. The time came that the bishops and all the other men of the church were requested to sing mass. They held the cross and the sanctuaries with which they blessed the people, and granted pardon and remission to them of all their sins, if they died in the service of our lord. Therefore, all the other bishops, the bishop of Poitiers preached and spoke to the barons. He urged them to think to avenge the shame of our lord Jesus Christ, that these treacherous scoundrels had caused. don't keep him so long in withholding of his inheritance. At last he blessed them with his hand and commanded them to God devoutly on the morning early, our pilgrims assembled, as it was ordered and designed the third day before Judgment. Before the yate of the bridge, to forego out of the yate, they had their battles ordered and designed, and who should go before, and who should come after. The first battle commanded Huon le Maine, brother of the king of France, and Ancean de Rybemont, and other barons and knights of their country. They thought well that the men they led should not lightly be discomfited. Therefore, the second battle was led by Robert, earl of Flanders, who was called the Freyson, he had none other in his battle but people of his own country. The third battle was led by Robert, Duke of Normandy, with his new army which was much valiant, and St. Louis, bishop of Poitiers, who had done this deed of the church and rode upon a good steed. Helm laced and bore in his hand the holy spear, with which our Savior Jesus Christ was pierced in the side and vigorously conducted the battle of Toulouse, which was not there. The Earl of Toulouse had the fifth battle. With him was Peter de Staunden, his brother; the Earl of Grenier of Greece; Henry D'Aquitaine; Reynart of Anjou; Gaultier of Dommartin. In the sixth battle were Rembold, Earl of Orange; Louis de Moucous and Lambert, son of Evenam de Montagu. The seventh battle was led by Godefroy, Duke of Lorreaine, with him was Eustace, his brother, and those he brought out of his country. The eighth battle was conducted nobly and well by Tancre, with the men delivered to him. The ninth battle was led by Thierry, Earl of Perche. With him were Everard du Puyssat, Droon de Moncy; Raoul Fitz, Regnauld de Baug\u00e9, and Gales de Chambon. Godeffroy and Conan the Breton, of the twelve, were Captain Ysachar's men. With him were Remon, Pabes; Gaste de Bedyers; Gyrard de Roussillon; Guyllem de Monpellyer, and Guyllem Ameneux. The last, who had the most people with him, was delivered to Buymont. He was ordered to go and support battles that had the most need. The Lord of Toulouse, who was severely ill, left them in the town to keep the Turks out of the dungeon. If there had been no guard, they could have sprung out and killed all the sick men, women, and children, and the weak men who remained in the town, of whom there were great numbers in their herbergs. They had made, as I have said before, a little mound a strong wall of chalk, in which were prepared places for setting up engines. These were all ready to be cast. They had left 2,000 men of arms noble and hardy to defend this pass from the Turks who were on high on the dungeon.\n\nWhen they had arrayed their battles, in every: They had set men on foot. It was agreed among them that a foot soldier should go forward, and the knights following should keep them in check. It was defended and cried on pain of death that none should be so bold as to attempt anything as long as any Turk defended himself. But when our lord had given them the victory, then they should return and might take and gather the spoils. Corbagas, from the beginning of the siege of the city, had always harbored doubt and great suspicion that an attack would soon come upon his host. And especially since Peter Theremites was with him on a mission. Therefore, he had commanded those in the dungeon that if our men intended to issue out, they should begin a business and set out a banner where they would issue. It happened that when these battles were ranged in order before the gate to issue about the hour of prime, they of the tower made the sign as they were commanded. Corbagas understood that our men were coming, and he immediately sent two. Thousand Archers kept the bridge, preventing the Turks from passing. When the Turks arrived to maintain the passage, they dismounted. The gates were opened, and our men advanced according to the plan. Huon de Montfort was the first to arrive at this passage, which was guarded by his enemies. His archers and foot soldiers waited a little and could not pass in any way. When Huon, the nobleman, perceived this, he stormed both sides so fiercely that it was too late for the Turks on foot to take their horses. Then they turned and fled, defending themselves and shooting with their bows. Ancean de Ribemont rode against them and beat and held the line alone, allowing his men following him to strike among them and deliver many blows. He often plunged so deep into the press that our men thought he had been lost. But when he reappeared, they recognized him and gave him great honor and praise. Huon forgot not his sword. He came so unexpectedly to this pass. The archers of the Turks, who had fled, were so poorly led that few returned to their host. Our men followed them until near their lodgings. Many of them they defeated, who never recovered.\n\nOne thing happened when our men issued out of the town that ought not to be forgotten. For when these Archers were defeated, the Latins came after them in their order, a soft passage. Then it began to rain or drizzle. Such a sweet relief was never seen. It seemed to every man as if it was the blessing of our lord and the grace of heaven that descended upon them. Suddenly they were as fresh and light as they had never suffered illness.\n\nThis refreshment was not only in the men but also in all their horses, who were suddenly strong, fresh, and rejoiced as if they had always had all that was necessary for them. This was certainly apparent that day. For the horses that had suffered for many days. Nothing to eat except leeves of trees and skorches or Rinds were in this battle stronger and more pitiable than were the horses of the Turks. Which had always as much as they could, The Captains agreed that they should draw them towards the mountains which was far from the City well. Two miles. For if the Turks, who had a great multitude, would go thereward, they should be between our men and the town and shut them in. In this manner went one battle to fore another without this, That one touched another in any way, When the Turks saw them all, they marveled and were abashed, For they had supposed that they had not been but a few enclosed in the town. Now they seemed, by the miracle of our Lord, to be as many of them as were of the Turks and yet more. Among the men of arms were the men of the Church requested with absolves and stools. They that were priests, And the clerks in supplies, & each of them bore a cross in his hand. They that were abiding in the town. town were on the walls, pleading for prayers and supplications, and tears crying for mercy to our lord that he would have pity on his people that day and not allow his name and faith to be brought into disrepute by the enemies and pagan people. By the signs that the prisoners made to them of the tower and by the news that the archers brought, Corbagat knew and understood certainly that our men had been released from the city and were coming towards him to fight. Then, having been informed of this, he initially showed disdain and delayed it for mockery. He consulted with his barons and hastily organized his battles, taking counsel especially from those born in Antioch, of whom he had many with him. He prepared a battle of great size with the best and most hardy knights that he had. This battle he entrusted to Solyman, whom you have heard about in various places before. He commanded them to draw towards. Before our men should have taken and fortified all the plain between the mountain and the city. This great battle came then, and was staked out between two towns and closed. His other battles he set in motion by Leicester. And made that one to go before another, as he who knew it. After speaking to the captains, he said to them that they should maintain themselves as high men and good knights, and not be afraid nor dismayed of these cities, men and businesses that are lowly. And spurred their horses, the first three battles to gather. They found them well received, for the Turks were great men and well armed. Our men did well in this engagement. The Frenchmen heard, \"You should have seen fierce clashes of swords, maces, and axes. The malls were so great and strokes that you would not have had a thousand. The duke of Goodfellow saw a battle come where there were more valiantly fighting than ever, and they slew many and hewed off heads and arms in such a way that the field was covered.\" The Turks found them lying wounded in great numbers. The Turks discovered they possessed immense riches of gold, silver, precious stones, various vessels and clothes of silk. Oxen, sheep, and kin were abundant. They required wheat and meal from the ground in great quantities. They won horses in this predicament in such numbers that they were overwhelmed by the great multitude. They took and gathered the spoils and tents, from which they had such riches. Such a host had never been seen before, so fair and rich. And this came to them most fortunately, for all their tents and pavilions were completely rotten. Women, children, and other people whom they found in the lodgings they brought into the city. Among other things, the barons assembled them to view the tents of Corbagat. For it was made in the form of a city. It had towers and crests of diverse colors woven with fine silk. From the master's palaces, alleys led into other tents, resembling streets in a great town. More than two thousand men could sit in the great hall. When our men had recovered, they filled great bundles with rich things and mounted them on their horses and backs and entered the city of Ancyra. If they were then glad and joyous, it was no marvel. For such an adventure had not happened in Constantinople for a long time. They returned and gave many thanks and graces of the Lord with all their hearts humbly and devoutly. For they well knew that all had come from Him. The Turks who were in the dungeon had seen that their people were vanquished and had no hope then to be rescued or of any succor. Therefore, as soon as the barons were entered in the city, they made them speak and treat with them. acor\u2223ded to gydre that they alle shold take theyr wyues and childeren and bere with them suche goodes as they had / and rendre and gy\u2223ue ouer the dongeon. The baners of our barons were sette aboue on it thenne. The werkes of our lord Ihu crist ben moche hye and merueyllous\u00b7 ffor fro right grete pouerte\u00b7 cam oure peple to ouer grete rychesses in so short a tyme / It is moche good to affye and truste in hym that hath such power and myght.

The power of perse was moche affebled this day\u00b7 For ther were so many The number of them that were slain was never accurately known. Much was changed in our men's state. He who in the morning issued out, had not enough to eat; at evening, he entered into the city, rich in goods, especially the Kingdom of France, in the year 1489, the 21st day of the month of June.\n\nWhen the barons returned, by the counsel of the valiant bishop of Poitiers and the prelates in his host, it was agreed by them all that the churches in the town be made entirely clean. They ordered to perform the service of our Lord God, and especially the chief cathedral church, which is founded in honor of St. Peter. They established clerks and curates to serve in the church, and others to govern and keep the holy places clean, for the false and untrustworthy Saracens had defiled them. They set some of their own in the churches. Oxen and horses, along with sheep and asses, and other animals, were defiled by the common women and evil knights. They had made their ordure and filth in them, a sight to pity. Additionally, they desecrated images of I and other saints with filth, mud, and ordure. They drew them and cut off their noses, and plucked out their eyes. The barons and all the pilgrims agreed that rents should be established for the clerks who would serve in the churches. Gold and silver were offered for making crosses and chalices, as well as silk clothes for making new vestments for the men of the church. Him they reinstated in his place with great honor and solemnity. The Turks had cast him out and put him to shame, and had done many evils to him for the faith of our Savior Jesus Christ that he held in the cities around Antioch. Our men appointed bishops in the cities where there were none at that time, except in Antioch where they were. The good man found none other there until afterwards, as he later realized, because the Latins understood no Greek language. He left his duty and went to Constantinople. With his good will, he was then assembled by the men of the church. They chose and elected Bernard, the bishop of Tarascon, as patriarch. He had come with the good bishop of Puy and had made him his chaplain. He was made patriarch. The seigneury of the city granted all the barons the right to buy land, as they had promised and agreed, except for the Earl of Toulouse, who held the gate of the bridge. I don't know how many days he had delayed it. He would not give it over but said it was his part. Because Buymont was previously called the prince of the people of his country, the name remained with him and with all the lords after him of the city, and they were always called Princes of Antioch. \"The council was thus arranged in the city, as I have told you. The barons decided that they should approach the emperor of Constantinople and ask him, in accordance with the agreements he had made with them, to come personally to help them, especially during the siege of Jerusalem, which they intended to join. If he refused, they knew that he would not honor his agreements or keep them. To deliver this message, they sent his brother, Hugh, to King Philip of France, and Baldwin, earl of Henand. These two departed from the host to go to Constantinople. However, on the way, they were attacked by certain Turks, in which melee Earl Baldwin was lost in such a way that no further news were ever heard of him. Some said that he was killed there, and others said that he was taken and led into far-off countries. However, the truth about him was never known. Hugh managed to escape.\" All came unharmed to Constantinople to the emperor, but there was no regard for those who had sent him and would not return. Instead, he departed from the emperor and went straight to France. It was a greater shame among them, so greatly presumptuous to have escaped. Then a great disaster occurred in the host. For the valiant man of great truth and high counsel died at that time. Aymar, the bishop of Puy, died for his death there was great sorrow throughout the town. He was entered and honorably buried in the church of St. Peter. There, the spear that pierced the side of our Lord was found, much defiled as the father of the host. After his death, a truly valiant knight and wise man of great courage, Henry Dan, was buried in the same place. Reynard de Molac, a good knight and of high lineage, died in Antioch. He was buried in the porch of St. Peter. All the women in the town died of this pestilence, save a few. Little people died in this town. LM men and women. The cause of this mortality was frequently inquired about by the physicians and wise clerks. Some said that they had been corrupted. Others said that the people had suffered from hunger and thirst for too long and, when they came for provisions, took them excessively. By doing so, they fell into a great infirmity and sickness. This was evident in those who ate little and were barely convalescing and regaining health.\n\nThe pilgrims, to show their sympathy for the mortality of the town and to fulfill their pilgrimage, began to cry out for permission to go to Jerusalem. For this reason, they had been departed from their countries. They earnestly prayed the barons to make their preparations and to lead and conduct them there. The barons, unable to rest due to their requests, assembled and held counsel on this matter. Some said that it would be good for them to go immediately. The people headed towards the holy city of Cyte, caused by the common people's desire and each man bound by his vow. One argued against it, stating that the burning heat was over great, and the drought would cause a lack of water. The people would not find where the horses would lack pastures. But it was advised to tarry and delay this passage until Michaelmas. The time would then be more tempered and moderate. During this time, men could rest their horses and buy new ones for those who had none and needed some. Men could also refresh themselves, who were weary and sick. All agreed to this last counsel, and therefore, they departed late. The barons then devised that they would remove the tribute of the place and go there where victuals would be cheaper. Buymont descended into the land of Cylyce. There he took Tarse, Adane, Mamstre, and Aunaure - these four cities, he said, were well fortified. with his men and held entirely the country around the river of Euphrates. The other went farther in the country and led their horses there to pasture. There were many knights and footmen who passed the River Euphrates to go forth at all adventure through the countries, until they came to Bawdwin, brother of Duke Godfrey, at Rages. He received them gladly, gave them provisions, and made them good cheer as long as they were there. At their departure, he gave them fair and good gifts.\n\nIt was not long after that one Rodhan, lord of Halappe, had a dispute and war with a baron of his, named Castelain, of a castle named Hasart. And you shall understand that the game of dice was the cause of this. And from thence it began, and it is named so. This great man of Halappe assembled his people. He besieged this castle with all his power. The lord within saw well that he could not hold it against his lord, and he had no Turks to support or help him. The man, a trusted friend of his, to whom he had sent many great gifts and earnestly requested help during his need, was Lord Godfrey. He believed it was not against the will of our lord to weaken his hold on this castle, and he had besieged it for six days. Lord Godfrey arrived with great journeys, accompanied by his messengers, who carried letters attached to the horses' tails. The messengers fled, and the horses took them. Lord Godfrey found the letters and discovered his alliance with the duke, his love and grand plans to come to his aid with great strength. He took great joy in this and, filled with courage, he himself led his men out of the gates. And he assailed those within the siege vigorously, whom he had doubted would not last long. Now approached the Duke Godeffroy, when his brother came with three noble, valiant, and hardy men as counsel. He had often prayed Buymont and the Lord of Toulouse before departing, but they harbored a little envy because the Turk had required the Duke more than any of them. But now, having sent for them, they thought they could not properly remain behind. They arranged their departure with great diligence and overtook him when all were gathering; they numbered about 30,000 men. Rodahan had spies. By whom he knew for certain that these men were approaching him, and he doubted them greatly. He had 40,000 men, but yet he dared not face them; instead, he abandoned the siege and returned to Halap/pe. The Duke knew nothing of this. The siege had been lifted, but we were straitening towards Hasart. There were knights and gentlemen among us in Antioch who knew that the valiant duke was dealing with men and departed from there to help him. A great ambush was lying in wait by the roadside to intercept them. When our people approached, those who took no heed were suddenly attacked by the Turks, who were far greater in number. Some they slew, and many they took prisoners and bound. They returned to their retreat. The news reached the duke and the host, who were out of their wits with sorrow. They returned hastily to attack the malefactors. The people of the country told them which way they had gone and directed them towards these Turks, whom they had overtaken and approached. They ran at them with great heart and slew some of them. Some they took prisoners, and few or none escaped. They delivered those taken prisoners to the Christian men. The duke, Rodahan, was greatly injured when they took him. Our men had done this while they were among the best and chosen Turks. When they approached the lord of the town, he came out with three hundred men on horseback. There, as he found the duke, he dismounted and knelt before him, thanking him much. And after all the others who were there with him for the help they had given him in this need. Then the duke swore before them all that he would forever be a true and good friend to these barons and other Christian men. He would, to his power, procure the best for them and warn them of their harm. He lodged them well and honorably and made them a feast.\n\nThe duke, Godeffroy, knew well that the pestilence and mortality still endured in Antioch. His brother had urged him to come and succor there, and he came to Torbosel and to two other castles named Hatap and Rauendel. These lands were specifically seized by the men of Reygireceyued, the robbers and their accomplices, who pillaged and desecrated the holy places - the churches. They caused great harm to all manner of people. They were so proud that they took the presents that Baldwin had sent to his brother for the siege of Antioch and presented them to Buymont in their name. When the Duke heard these complaints, he sent a detachment of his armed men and the people of his country. He took the fortresses of these two hermits. He beat and destroyed them there. While the valiant duke was in these parts, many of the host's people went to Thierry (Baldwin) at Rages because he treated them well and refreshed them generously, and he lavishly bestowed his goodwill upon them. The way was then all secure and good, since the castle of Hasart was entirely in our possession, as you have heard. So many Christian men came to Rages that it greatly displeased the citizens of the city. The Earl and the Latins disputed many things. Our men would have had the seigniory if they had not failed. They committed many annoyances and viliances against their hosts within their houses. The Earl himself, due to the great number of men from his own country, called the fewer and lesser noble men of the City to counsel. By their help, he had come to his highness and noble lordship. They had great regret in their hearts and repented that they had chosen him and set him as their lord over them, for they feared that the Earl, who was so liberal and gave to every man, would one day take all that they had. Therefore, they sought the admirals of the Turks, their neighbors, who were willing to help. They discussed how they could either kill Bawdyn or at least expel and chase him away from the City in such a way that he would never return. The Turkmans agreed to this plan. This matter progressed to the point where the Rages took all. The men kept their goods privately and set it in the houses of their acquainted neighbors in Cytes, while they spoke and advised of this treason. A friend of their lord, Bawdyn, came to him and recounted the entire affair. He was greatly surprised by it. He inquired about this matter and found it to be true. He knew well those who had planned this treason and by whom it would be carried out. Secretly, he sent his men and took the captains of this deceit. He put out their eyes. Those who had not yet transgressed, he chased out of the town and took all that they had. Some he allowed to dwell still in the city. But he took as much of their goods as he could get. He had greatly benefited from the occasion of this murder that these traitors had devised. But he dismissed all to the pilgrims. Those who had helped him take the castles and fortresses and some cities around Rages. He was much dreaded and doubted his neighbors in such a way that none of them dared to oppose him. In this country, they dared not debate against him again / The great and high men of the land were eager to find means and ways to be rid of him if they could /\n\nThere was a great and high man, a Turk, named Balac. He was acquainted and much favored by the Earl of Soappe, who said not a word against him to him / On a day, he showed him fair language and also promised him that he would have no need of a shield. And he would send his steward with 700 horsemen to Balac. When they arrived before the fortress, Balac prayed to the Earl / that he would come up high. And bring but few men with him, for he said he had certain entr\u00e9e, but he had in his company a valiant knight well advised and a wise man / who advised his fellows and other knights of the great peril and danger in letting [them] do so. hym goo And they wold not suffre hym but reteyned hym by force / ffor\nthey doubted moche the malyce of this man / in suche wyse that in theyr hertes they had suspection of treson / The Erle abode by their counseyl / & sente vp .xij. of his men wel armed in to the toure for to see yf ther were ony thyng to doubte / he helde hym emo\u0304g his men they that wente vp anon apperceyued wel the trayson. ffor the Turkes sprange oute of theyr places where they were hyd\u00b7 And toke thise .xij. men by force\u00b7 and desarmed them and reteyned them bounden handes and feet\u00b7 whan the erle knewe this\u00b7 he was moche sorouful for his men that he had thus lost. Thenne he drewe hym forth and spak to balac / And moche prayd hym and coniu\u2223red hym by the feaulte and oth that he had made to hym that he wold yelde his men to hym / or atte leste sette them at rawn\u2223son / and he wold gyue for them as moche as he wold haue. Ba\u2223lac answerd to hym\u00b7 that he trauaylled for nought / ffor he shold neuer haue none of them / But yf he wold gyue to hym the City of Sororge, which had been his before. They saw that this fortress was not easily to be taken. For it was strong and stood in a strong place, richly garnished. And they returned, much anguished, from the party that he would have joined of this fellow Turk, to take the city of Sororge, and sorrowful he was for those taken. He had delivered the City of Sororge to keep unto a much wise valiant and good knight named Foubert de Chartres. This man kept it with an army of valiant men. When he heard that his lord had been thus almost betrayed, and how he had lost twenty men, he was sorry. And it was not long after that, in a night, he set a siege camp near this fortress with some of his men. In the morning, he, with a few of his company, came before this tower and took the projection of beasts. Those on high on the battlefield saw that they were but a few. And told it to Balak and the other men in the fortress. They took their hands and followed them to rescue that which they had rowed away. In such a way they surprised them on the bushes. They sprang suddenly out and closed them in. Foubert returned upon them. And slew I wote not how many, but seven. He took a live one for whom he had immediately seven of our men from those he held in his fortress. It was not long after that four of the others escaped from the fortress and broke their prison while their keepers slept. When Balak saw that there were no more than two, he quickly sought an audience with various admirals and their admirals and showed them soon after. For there was a high and great man, a Turk in that country named Balducci, whom I have spoken of before, who had sold this ancient city named Samoloc to Badwyn. And this Turk had encouraged and promised that he would bring his wife and children within the rages, but he sought: The duke Godfrey, as I have mentioned before, was stationed in the land of Torbesel. The lord of Toulouse gathered his people and took a great number of pilgrims who were idle there. He went to a city named Alba, where he humbly asked for the lord's honor that he had granted him. He gave him entirely half of this city. After this, he went to Antioch and was sacred by Patriarch Bernard. He gave him his lordship of the town and two of his new sons of his brother named Sansadol. He held them prisoners, but Sansadol gave him great wealth and riches in return, so he released both the lady and children. In this siege, a great number of people came from Ducheland. They arrived in such a way that they almost all died. Only a few escaped. The pestilence continued for three months until near winter. There were deed of knights only about 5,000 of the people, no one knew the number. The first day of November, the barons who had departed for the pestilence all returned to Antioch, as promised. Their council and deliberation was that they should go and besiege the city of Marran, which was strong and well fortified. From Albare they had taken it was not but eight miles away. No one could hold it named. They were all ready. The Earl of Toulouse, the Duke Godfrey Eustace his brother, the Earl of Flanders, the Duke of Normandy, and Tancre came to the city of Marand and did shameful things to anger all our people. The barons were very angry and cried out for assault. They assaulted the town fiercely, and if they had ladders they would have taken it by force on the second day after they arrived. The third day Buymont came, who... Men brought a large number with them. They lodged where the city was not besieged. Our men were greatly disappointed that they did nothing. They hastily made engines and raised catapults and slings to cast stones, and filled the ditches to go under the walls. The defenders within defended themselves well and threw great stones. Fire burned, oil was boiling, and they shot at them with arbalests and bow turquoise arrows, passing through thickly, but thank God they hurt few of our men. The defenders began to tire and courage grew and increased. They dressed their ladders against the walls and went up diligently. Among all others, there was a noble and valiant man named Geoffrey de Tours. He maintained the first assault marvelously well. Others followed him. They would have taken the city if the night had not come and disrupted them. Therefore, good watch in the towers. But the men entered into the town. And found that it was all empty of people. They had sounded deep and supposed to have saved and hidden under the earth. They set fire in and sent so much smoke that by force they had to come out. Our men slew some of them. And the remainder they took prisoners. There they died of sickness, the good man holy and religious who much loved and feared our Lord God. Guylla\u0304me, the bishop of Orange, when the duke had stayed there for fifteen days with him, departed with him and came into Antioch. There they had to do business.\n\nGodeffroy, the valiant duke of Lorraine, saw how the men-at-foot made themselves ready for compliance and go towards Jerusalem. He greatly urged and admonished the great lords to do the same. But the valiant duke wanted to see and witness his brother depart from this country before he himself did. He returned to Antioch to the other barons and pilgrims who remained there for him when he learned that he had but six or seven miles to ride, they found a very fair place to dine and eat by a fair well, much delightful and full of great herbs and grass. All agreed gladly to dine in this fair place. While they prepared their dinner, they encountered a large group of well-armed Turks near a marsh. When the noble Duke and other barons saw them approaching, they took up their arms hastily as they could and charged upon them vigorously. There was a fierce battle. The Duke performed valiantly. Many Turks were slain, and the remnants fled. Our men lost nothing. But they came with great joy to Antioch,\n\nOf this noble city of Antioch, which was taken, as I have said before, in a great debate between Buymont and the Earl of Toulouse. For the Earl would have had all of Antioch. Buymont said he would not give away his part unless he yielded everything. And he gave over certain towers that he held in Antioch. Therefore, Buymont departed and assaulted the towers held by the men of Toulouse. He took them by force and made them leave in the name of their lord. From then on, he held Anthyoche without partner or fellow. The lord saw that Buymont had departed from the city thus conquered and gave the town entirely to the bishop of Albarus. They arranged and disposed matters between him and the bishop regarding how the city might be maintained and kept so that the Turks would not retake it. The people began to murmur about this, that the high and noble men tarried to take this evil city and caused debate and noise among them because they had left their countries forgetfully and seemed not to care about the fulfilling of their vow. Therefore, the common people agreed among themselves that as soon as the lord of Toulouse departed from the city of Marran, they would. The barons assembled at Rouge City, halfway between Marran and Antioch, to discuss whether they should proceed towards Jerusalem. The men-at-arms grew impatient and hurried on. The barons could not agree, resulting in no conclusion being reached while the Earl of Thoulouse remained at the parliament. The foot soldiers, against the bishop's will and defense, breached the walls and towers of Marran City because they did not wish to stay longer in the country on account of this town. When the Earl returned, he was angry about this, but unable to rectify the situation, he concealed his anger. The foot soldiers continually chose a knight and made him their captain, leading them towards Jerusalem. that other side was greatly lacking in supplies in such a way that Good had laid siege around this City of Marran with such a small army not by weapons but by sickness. There died a very noble young man named Emorran, son of Huon, Earl of Saint Pol, of a sickness from whom we were.\n\nThe vigorous and valiant Earl of Toulouse was in great distress because he did not know what to do. On one hand, he felt pity and great sorrow for the sufferings of the poor people and was moved by their heartfelt pleas and those of the other barons, who begged him to lead them to fulfill their vows and pilgrimage. On the other hand, he found horses in the pastures that had been left behind by our men. There were also various messengers from the country that the great lords and men around had sent to see their kin. When they saw that our barons acted thus, they were filled with alarm. And nothing could resist them; they went to their lords and told them that they were overly cruel and fiery people. Then they should have seen brought great presents and honorable and vital gifts from all parts, out of doubt, to win them over. It was not long before they passed through all the country until they came to the plains of an ancient city by the sea side named Archys. They lodged near the town.\n\nArchys is a city of the land of Phoenicia and stands at the foot of a mountain named Libanus. In a territory much strong, and is a four or five mile distance from the sea, and has much fruitful land around it and delightful pastures and waters. The scriptures say that it was founded anciently. For Nimrod had a son named Canaan. Of him came a son named Arach, who founded this city. And after him, this city was named Archys. There were prisoners of our men in this town. It was sent word by the prisoners to the Earl of Toulouse that he should besiege this city, and also to the other barons, for they would have great benefit there, as Tripoli, which was very noble and rich, was but six miles from here. There were also prisoners of our people in Tripoli. After the beginning of the siege of Antioch and afterwards, our people began to run wildly and foolishly to seek some vituals and other necessities that they lacked. They were taken in many places in such a way. There was no city or castle in the country but there were some of our pilgrims prisoners. In the city of Tripoli there were more than two thousand. They themselves had sent word to our men that if they would make a show of conquering the country, the King of Tripoli would give them great honor and goodwill to depart, and would deliver to them all their prisoners. It happened to them thus: our people approached the city of Arches for to. They issued out of our lodgings with one hundred men on horseback and two hundred on foot. They made their captain Raymond, who was a wise man and a valiant knight, lead the way. They went to a city named Torres to see if they might find any adventure for gain. They approached the city and began to assault it vigorously and sharply. The inhabitants defended themselves valiantly, both men and women. Our men left little or nothing. The night came upon them, and they ceased the assault. They remained to await more company that should follow them and to begin the assault again in the morning. The inhabitants had great fear that our men would assault them again in the morning and might not resist them. Therefore, in the night they went quietly out of the town and went to the mountains, carrying nothing with them. Their wives and children. Alland began to make ready and encourage each other to do well at the assault. They approached the walls, all armed. And they heard no man. They entered into the town and opened the gates in such a way that all entered. Then they saw that those of the town had issued and gone out. They found the City full of goods. In so much that they were all rich. They tied up all and bore as much as they could into their hosts. & recounted their adventure of which they were all. Glad and joyous and then thanked our lord. When the month of March was come and the season was more temperate, the people left in Antioch saw that it was time to depart. They spoke to Duke Godfrey, prayed them much affectuously that they would undertake and persuade them to join Ih for the accomplishment of their pilgrimage. The going forth of the earl of Toulouse, the duke of Normandy, and Cancre caused them much to have the will to go. For they were going before and led by them a great number of pilgrims. And they. This text appears to be written in Early Modern English, and it describes an event where the speaker and his companions were transported to Antioch by a man named Buymont. The text indicates that Antioch was recently conquered, and the enemies were nearby, so Buymont did not intend to go farther. The speaker praises Buymont's great courage and takes his leave, returning to Antioch himself. Antioch is described as an ancient and noble city that stands on the seashore and was once ruled by the Emperor of Constantinople.\n\nHere's the cleaned text:\n\nhappened well in the way. And thereby they had great profit and great honor. By these words were the barons greatly stirred and moved. They ordered their affairs diligently. And they took all their people as well on horseback as on foot and went so far, finding armed every man who was a good man and a valiant knight. Buymont conveyed them thither with his men. But it was not their intent or will that he should go any farther. For the city of Antioch was newly conquered, and their enemies were fast by. Therefore, it behooved him not to withdraw himself far from it. But for his great courage, he had conveyed them thither. And there he took his leave and wept much at parting. He recommended them to God and returned again to Antioch. The like is a much ancient and noble city, and it stands upon the river of the see. That was the only city in Syria, of which the Emperor of Constantinople was lord, long before our men came. The man, whom I spoke of before, who was born in Boloyne on the sea side, had arrived there while the bawd, Wyn Broder of the Duke, was holding it. He had come with his ship, intending to take the town by force, but foolishly contained himself and assaulted it instead. The townspeople came out lightly and took him, keeping him in prison until one of the barons arrived. The Duke knew that he was born in the land of his father and had been in the company of Earl Bawdwin his brother. Therefore, he demanded him from the town's great men and begged them earnestly to deliver him to him. They dared not refuse, but delivered him and his companions with their ship. The Duke commanded him to go to the sea and always keep a distance from the host. He did it gladly and sailed away. The host departed from there, and our barons had received their prisoners. Those who had departed earlier arrived there in such a way. all went to Gydre by the sea side to a City named Gibelet, which was about a 12 mile distance from it. They stayed there and besieged the City. A bailiff of the Caliph of Egypt held this City on the sea side under the power of the Caliph of Egypt. This bailiff was sent out by Saif al-Dawlat, and spoke to Duke Godfrey. He offered him 2 million besants and many great gifts above that to depart and lift the siege. Duke Godfrey would not hear these words but said that it was treason and untruth. And God forbid that I should take such hire. He then departed when he saw he could not make his bargain with the noble Duke. After he sent his messengers to the Earl of Toulouse. He offered him this great sum of money if he could find a way to help them. He was assured by messengers and letters that the Sultan of Persia was greatly angered and scorned by this, and Corbagon his constable had come with great people to fight. They were to destroy all [those] and sent letters to the lord of Flanders. And they departed from Gibelett. By the city of Valence they went, which was above the castle of Margat. Since they came to Marseille and came before the City of Arches, Tancred came out of the host and told them all a long tale of the treachery and deceit that the lord of Toulouse had done. They were very angry, so they lodged them apart from those who had broken their siege. The Earl knew that he had given them great gifts, so in a short time they were all reconciled and good friends to each other, except for Tancred, who would not agree with him. But before the coming of these last barons, the people of the lords of Toulouse could not do anything to help and profit against the City which they had besieged. But now they had great hope that it would soon be recaptured. brought and accomplished by those who had come, but it did not turn out as they had supposed. For all the times they constructed any engine to test the walls, it always went contrary to their plans, and the townspeople broke all their works, causing them to lose their costs and labor. It became clear that our lord had withdrawn his aid and good will from them. Within the town, they killed many of them. Two noble and valiant knights died: Ancean of Ribemont, who always died valiantly wherever he went; and Potom de Baladon, a high man and well acquainted with the earl of Toulouse. This siege displeased everyone greatly, and in particular the footmen, who had a great desire to fulfill their vow to Jerusalem, and when the duke arrived, those who had been there before began to withdraw them from the work in such a way that every man did nothing, as it pleased them well. The earls were displeased that he could depart and lead them, along with other barons. A dispute arose among the common people and some barons who doubted the speech found in Antioch. Some claimed it was the very spear that pierced our Lord on the cross, anointed with his precious blood by revelation from our Lord for the comfort of his people in great need. Others declared it was false and an abuse. The earl of Toulouse had discovered this and fabricated it to encourage the people to pay taxes. This dispute was instigated by a priest named Arnold Chappelain, well-acquainted with the noble duke of Normandy. He was learned but wicked, malicious, and a pursuer of discord, as you will learn later in this book. This rumor was spread by him. The man who found the spear heard the people's doubt and came boldly before the barons. He said to them, \"Fair lords, do not doubt anything that this work has been done by God's will. It is certainly for the comfort of the Christian people. This is wonderful, and I will enter into it. I will hold the spear in my hand and pass through it safely.\" When they heard this, they all agreed. The fire was made and burned brightly, which was great and wonderful. This was on the blessed Good Friday. And it pleased them that this thing should be thus initiated to prove it. He was named Peter Bertilme, a much simple clerk, and entered the fire. He passed through it unharmed. But a greater error and murmuring arose than before, for it was not long after that this clerk died. Then some said by his guidance. of the fire he took his death And that should be the occasion thereof. The other said that he issued out whole and safe from the fire. But it was the will of our lord, since the truth was known, that he should die thus, or perhaps because the press that came upon him was so great. When he issued out, some messengers that were sent to Egypt by our barons at their request of those who came to Antioch from the Caliph of Egypt had been detained and held there by force for over a year. But now they were returned. And with them came the messengers of the Caliph, who brought to our barons words much diversified and greatly changed from what they had sent before Antioch. For then he had sent them word that they should contain themselves vigorously against the Sultan of Persia. And they should have from him great aid of gold, silver, and provisions. Now he had changed much his language, for he sent them words that he thought he did much for them if he suffered that. Pilgrims might go to Jerusalem 2 or 3 cents, unarmed. And when they had finished their prayers and completed their pilgrimage to return safely again, our barons heard this and had great contempt for the messengers. They told them to return to their lord and tell him that, by his license, they would not go to Jerusalem unarmed one after another. But they should go and make war against him, all to Gydre in battles, and the banners were raised and deployed. Now I shall tell you why the Caliph of Egypt was raised in such great doubt; he feared to make war against him. For he had always had the worse hand. By this occasion, it happened that a constable of the Caliph of Egypt named Emites had taken the city of Jerusalem from the men of the sultan of Persia who had held it for 39 years. Therefore, now the Caliph saw that he was at a disadvantage, having been outmaneuvered by our men, and had thought he would not have had need of this. only ayde / Therefore he despised our people, on the other side came messengers from the emperor of Constantinople, who complained much about Buymont and also about the other barons. They said that all the barons had become his men and had sworn upon the holy evangelies that all such cities and castles, which had been under the power of Constantinople, should be rendered to him as his own throughout the land, which he had given to him. Thus spoke they of the councils, but they did not speak of all, for without fail they had counciled this, but the emperor had promised to them that he would follow them with his great host and would furnish them with great plenty of victuals, but he had broken the council and promises, for he had not done one or the other, and he could have done it, and therefore they were not bound to hold his councils made by our barons. because he did not hold that he had promised, for the law will not. A man should keep his pledge to one who keeps it not his. The barons responded thus: they insisted that the gift they made to Bohemond of Antioch should be firm and permanent. When the messengers heard this, they urgently requested the barons to delay their departure to Jerusalem until the emperor came. They argued that he would bring with him a great multitude of people, and if he would grant such favors to the barons and make generous gifts to the nobles and soldiers, as was expected of him. Some supposed that he would indeed come, while others believed he said so to keep the barons and other men at siege until the city was taken, as it would be a great dishonor and shame for him to depart prematurely, contradicting his enterprise. The other barons disagreed with this notion and insisted on departing. should gently besiege the holy city of Jerusalem to perform their pilgrimage and fulfill their vow. For which they had endured so many trials and diseases and deceits. Therefore, they were not disposed to trust his covert deceitfulness any longer. This led to a great debate among the barons. They could not agree. It happened that he who held the city of Tripoli, who had offered them so much goodwill by treaty that they should depart from the siege and leave the land, knew that the barons were in discord among themselves. He no longer offered them anything but took great courage and decided to fight against them. The barons agreed to this, and left the Bishop of Albare to keep the lodgings. And when they had done this, they all went to battle, ordered towards Tripoli. When they arrived there, they found the lord of the town and the citizens outside with a great multitude of men on horseback and on foot, where they had arranged their defense. The battles and abode our people there, whom they doubted not much. For they had seen that the Earl of Toulouse had held siege before this city, and had gained nothing, therefore they treated our men less harshly than before. But when our men approached so near that they saw them, they attacked them fiercely, losing instantly seven hundred of their men, whom our men killed. And of ours were slain twenty-four. They held the feast of Easter or Passover on the tenth day of April. The barons who had defeated these men returned to their lodgings with all their gains. Then they resumed and began the complaint and clamor of the people once again, which was very great because they did not depart from the siege hastily to go to Jerusalem. All they cried aloud that they should leave the siege so long continued. The valiant Duke Godfrey, Earl of Flanders, the Duke of Normandy, and Tancred said that they would grant the people's request. And then they... they set fire to their tents and pavilions. They burned their lodgings and departed. It displeased and anxious the siege. And strictly held him and followed the other, when they were about a mile from Triple. They lodged them there. The bailiff who held the city and the countryside in the name of the Caliph sent them down his pride, for as I told you before, he intended to fight peer to peer. His messengers knew well that he was too weak and that our men often took and went out of his power. The matter was so desperate that he gave them 15.M. besants and delivered to them all the prisoners that he had of our pilgrims. And promised to him that they would do no harm to the Cities that he had and held, that is, Archys Triple and Ybelyn, nor take much great plunder, so that they should not destroy his land. Then came in to reinforce some survivors who dwelt upon the mount of Libanus, which is near these Cities toward the east. They were wise and true men of our faith, coming to see our barons to sell and feast them. The good men of Thost called them and requested that they teach them the most direct and easiest way to Jerusalem. They took advice and decided to guide us. They inspected all necessary things and came to our barons, saying that they advised holding the way along the coast for several reasons. First, for the safety and comfort of their ships, as not only Genoese ships came from Florence but also ships of other nations were present. They passed by the entire sea side and the city of Jaffa. They lodged upon a River that runs there in a place named Mans, and stayed there a day to wait for the slow-moving and late-arriving people.\n\nOn the third day, they came before the city of Baruth. They lodged upon a River that ran before it. The bailiff of the town gave them great provisions and allowed plenty of victuals and cheap goods to spare the trees and fruits of the countryside. In the morning, they came to the city of Saette. The one who governed and kept the city would not do anything kind or generous towards them, but he sent out many of his men to harm those who were lodging there to tax them. However, our men took their horses and attacked them vigorously. I don't know how many of them were killed. The others fled into the city and had no more ability to confront our people. In such a way, our men rested them in peace that night. In the morning, to rest and refresh the men, they did not depart but sent out many footmen and certain armed men to keep them in the countryside and villages. They brought in large quantities of victuals and horses with a great number of livestock. small and came again without delay, all together except for a knight named Gaultier de Ver. He went over sea by his valor, for he returned never again, nor was he ever known where he became. They were all sorry for him in thought. The day after, they passed by a much sharp and arid way, and afterwards descended into a plain. They left this ancient city named Salado by the noble fountain and pit of water, which was much delightful. When it was day, they set forth on their journey. They passed by a narrow, perilous place, between the mountains and the sea. They descended into the plains of the city of Acre. Thereupon, and by a running water, they set up their pavilions. The one in charge of the town made them have provisions at reasonable prices. He made acquaintances good and honorable in this manner: if our people might take the city of Jerusalem, and dwell there for twenty days in the kingdom. They were not removed from it by force or if they could have disputed the Egyptian forces in the field, they were to yield and surrender the City of Acre without making any resistance. The pilgrims then went to the left side, sailed along the sea, and came to Caesarea, which is the second archbishopric of the land of Palestine. They lodged there, near a spring that issued from the land, and by a great plain and even way, they came to the City of Lod. However, when the Turks heard news that our men were coming, they set it on fire and burned it down, thinking that our pilgrims had come to make engines to cast down Rameses. They sent the Earl of Flanders with 5,000 horsemen to scout before the town to learn their intentions. None came out when they approached it. They drew near and found the gates open. And entered into the City. And found neither man nor woman. The night before, they had heard news of our pilgrims' arrival, and they retreated to the mountains. The women and children, and all their households, held a vigil when the earl was informed of this. He sent word to the barons about the welfare of the mother and counseled them to come into the town. They were glad of these tidings; they made devout prayers at the tomb of St. George, and afterwards entered the city, which was filled with wine and other necessities. They remained there for three days. They chose a bishop for the city, who was a Norman named Robert, born in the archbishopric of Rouen. They granted him entirely the two Cities, that is, Leyde and Rames and the surrounding country and villages, as an honor to God and St. George for the first gain of the same holy land.\n\nThe Turks in Jerusalem heard news of the coming of our pilgrims. They knew for certain that their intention was to come to the holy city, for which reason they departed from the countryside. When they heard this, they were much disturbed. And said that it was reasonable to defend it / The Christian men in Bethlehem sent certain messengers to the barons, requesting that they deliver the town to them. They delivered it to Tancre for a captain. Those who came to fetch them conducted them in such a way that they entered the town early in the morning. All the citizens, clergy and laymen, received them honorably and with great joy, bringing them into the church which stands in that place. In which the glorious virgin Mary was seated and gave birth to our Lord Jesus Christ, the savior of the world. They saw the manger in which the Child was laid, and had great tender feelings in their hearts. / The citizens of the town, as a sign of joy and to demonstrate that our Lord and his dear mother should grant them victory, took Tancre's banner / and set it high upon the church of our lady. Those left behind had great desire to see and visit the holy places. places that waited greatly for troubles. And they could not sleep this night, such burning desire had they to see the city which should be the end of their journey and the fulfillment of their vow: They thought it long before the day came. And it seemed to them that this night was much longer than others, for a courageous desire has no haste.\n\nIt was known certainly in the lodgings that the Duke had received this night the messengers from Bethlehem. And he had sent his men into the town. The people beforehand could not leave the barons, nor could they endure until the day named Gaston de Besse had great pity for this people that they should be slain on the way. And so he took his horse and took thirty men of arms with him. He thought that he would go near to Jerusalem to find out if he could find his men. And his men began to gather the beasts to drive them hastily toward the host. But the hand desiring to do battle, they armed them diligently. Ronne hastily after to rescue the project/garrison and his men saw them come, and knew well that they were not strong enough against the Turks. Therefore, they left the supplies that they had brought. And mounted upon a high mountain nearby, much angered by this mishap. When they had stayed a while upon this mountain, they beheld into the valley and saw Tancre returning from Bethlehem, bringing news and told him of their misfortune. Those who could fled into the city. The remainder they recovered and brought in. And demanded of them earnestly for an answer. They replied that they had taken it before the year had ended, and thanked our Lord with much great sighs for His great love and conduct, which had allowed them to see shortly the end of their pilgrimage - that is, the holy City of Jerusalem, which our Lord so much loved that He would die there to save the world. Great pity it was to see and hear the tears and cries of this good people. They departed in this same manner. And they went forth and saw the towers and walls of the town. Then they lifted up their hands toward the head of their hose and shoes, men and women, and kissed them. Whoever had seen this thought he should be moved to pity. From Jerusalem I leave you, and lift up your eyes, and behold the power of your king, your savior, who comes to redeem you and set you free. O Lord God, how the high barons, knights, gentlemen of our host, and all the other men and women were comforted and reconciled from the great trials and miseries. And each of them had good will to contain himself in this need and work truth. It is true that the holy City of Jerusalem stands between two mountains. Its foundations are in the holy mountains. The foundation is twenty-four miles to Port Joppa, and that is the next part of the sea. Between both is the land of the Philistines. The castle of Emaus, where our lord appeared to two disciples. There is Modin the city and the fortress of Machaferro on the table of our lord. Therefore, Saul stayed there, along with other church administrators and town men. There is Lydda where St. Peter healed a lame man named Eneas, who had been paralyzed for eight years. There is also Joppa, as I have said, where St. Peter raised a dead woman named Tabitha. St. Peter was lodged in a tanner's house. The tanner, upon receiving the message from Cornelius whom he baptized, as stated in the Acts of the Apostles, named the dead and delightful country like a paradise before our lord made it sink. Five cities, including Sodom and the others, are mentioned in Genesis. On this side, Jordan is the city of Jericho that Joshua won more by prayer than by battle. There, our lord Jesus went and made a blind man see. There is Galgal where Helias dwelt. Toward the south is... the cyte of Bethlehem where our lord was born. and llord spak to the woman of Samarye. There is bethel where as the peple of Isgod ayenst the wylle of oure lord / There is Sebaste whiche is named seynt Iohan de sabaste\u00b7 There is the sepulcre of seynt Iohan baptist and Abdyas the prophetes were there buryed / It was sommetyme named Samarye. The Cyte of naples is there / which somme tyme was named Sychem\u00b7 And it was there where Sy\u2223meon and leuy sones of Iacob for to venge theyr suster whiche had ben enforced slewe them of the toun / and brente alle the cyte\niHerusalem is the chyef cyte of Iudee / It is withoute me\u2223dowes and withoute Ryuers. ne no brooke ne welle\u00b7 It was first called Salem / & after Zebus / After in the tyme whdauid had regned / vij. yere in Ebron / he grewe and amended moche this cyte / And wold that it shold be the chyef and hede place of alle the Royam\u2223me / Thenne was it named Iherusalem. To fore that dauid assay the toun / he toke the towre of Syon / whiche was named the cyte of Dauyd. Thenne David made the city to be built around the place that was named Melon. Iob made the remainder of the town after Solomon reigning in Jerusalem. It was named Jerusalem of Solomon. As they say, those who wrote the stories mention that it was destroyed after the death of Jesus Christ. And they threw it down there. After came Helius Anamed Moria. The temple and the tower named Anthone were on the top of the mound. But the same Helius made the entire city to be rebuilt and refounded right on the top or summit of the mound. In such a way that the place where our Lord was crucified and the holy sepulcher, where his blessed body was laid, which were previously outside the city, were then enclosed within the walls. The city was not large. Nor was it small. It was longer than broad. It was enclosed on all four sides with deep valleys to the east is the valley of Iophat. There stands a very fair church made in honor of the glorious virgin Mary. Where it is said that She was buried. There is shown yet the sepulcher. Beneath it is the running water, of which St. John the Evangelist says that Jesus Christ passed towards the south. There is a valley named Ennon. There is the field that was bought with the price that Judas sold our Lord for. It is made in sepulcher for pilgrims and named Acheldemach towards the west. In a part of the valley, where the fish was, which was a great thing when the kings of Judah were there, stretches towards the Cisterne, which is called the lake of the Patriarch. By the old cemetery, which is in the cave named the Lion towards the northeast, men can go up plain to the City. There is shown the place where St. Stephen the protomartyr was stoned by the Jews, when he prayed upon his knees for them, and so died a martyr. Two mountains are chained within the walls of Jerusalem. A little valley is between them both, which departed from the town as in the middle. Syon is towards the west. the church named Syon stands topmost there, and after it, a tower of David, the town's donjon, made of much strong work. Walls and barbicans surround the town. Truthfully, this was the place our pilgrims came into this holy land: the site where our Lord was crucified, named Calvary. And where the very cross was found. And where our Savior Jesus Christ was taken down from the cross, anointed with precious ointments, and wrapped in white linen cloth. These places were small as little chapels. But after our Christian men gained power, they thought the church was built over sand, little where such great and noble things had occurred. Therefore, they rebuilt it entirely with good strong work and high walls, which contained and enclosed within it the first church and the holy names I have mentioned. Toward the eastern part is the other mountain named Mona. On the hanging of which, as one who beholds, faces south. The temple stood there, which the laypeople called Templum domini. David bought the place to set the Ark of our lord there, and Solomon his son built it by God's commandment. At the beginning of this book, we told you that Omar, son of Cephas, designed it in this way. There is a place, square, as long as an archer can shoot twice. And as broad, enclosed with strong and high walls. Toward the west, there are two gates: one named Speciosa, where the lame man could enter; and another named the Golden Gate, through which some people went to pray and say their prayers and honor our lord according to their customs. Some still endure. The other gates have fallen into the cloister of this place. No one dwells square toward the west. Men go up to it in two places by degrees or steps, and in the same way toward the south. But no one goes up toward the south except by one place. In every angle or corner. The corners were used as oratories where the Sarasyns made their orisons and prayers. Some endured yet. In the midst of this high place stands the temple, which is made eight square. Without, the walls were covered with tables of marble, richly wrought with fine gold. The covering above was of lead all around, well made. Each of these places above and beneath was paved with much fair white stone. When it rains, all the waters of the temple, from which great plenty falls, come down clean and clear into the cisterns within the cloister. Between the temple and the place which is among the pillars, there stands a high rock and a ditch or moat below. It is said that the Angel stood there when he slew the people for the sin that David had not rebuked until the Lord commanded that he should sheathe his sword. There, before that alter, our men made it. The town entered, discovered but later covered with a fair white marble. They built an altar above where the clerks performed the service for our Lord. The land where Jerusalem stands is named Judea. This city, from the Euphrates River to the sea. The place where the city stands is very arid and dry. There are no rivers in the town but only rainwater collected in cisterns. However, some scripts mention that they had fountains outside. In the town, and I ran into it, but they were stopped by the war. The least of all who were stopped was named Ermon. There is a church founded in the worship of St. Peter, Martyr. In that same place, Salomon was anointed, as is read in the third book of Kings, outside the town, about two miles or three. But few fontaines are found there, and they yield little water. In the party towards the south, where the two valleys assemble, is a renowned fontaine, named Siloam, which stops the mouths of these fontaines and of the Cisterns, about five or six miles around. For they thought that the pilgrims, for lack of water, should not maintain their siege before the town. And without a doubt, they had great lack and distress there, as is named the Probatica Piscina, where they were accustomed to wash and say that it had five porches. The angel descended and consecrated the water there. And he who first entered after the moving of the water was made whole of whatever disease he had. In that place, our Savior In the year of our savior Jesus Christ, 79 AD, in the month of June, on the seventh day of the same month, a host of Christians arrived before the holy city of Jerusalem. The number of men and women among them was forty. There were not enough foot soldiers to defend against more than twenty thousand men on horseback. All other men were weak, sickly, or elderly. Within the town were forty thousand able-bodied men who had come from nearby cities and castles. These were the best armed men and had been chosen for their valor.\n\nUpon our men's arrival before the town, they held a great council. They called upon the Christian men from the countryside, both to the north and to the south. They could not advance to the south due to the deep valleys. Therefore, they agreed to lay siege to the northeastern part of the town. From the yate named the yate of St. Stephen, which stands to the northeast of the other yate that stands to the west and is named the yate of David, all the Barons and other pilgrims were lodged. The valiant Duke of Lorraine had the first place. In the second was the earl of Flanders. In the third was the Duke of Normandy. The fourth place was held by Tancre next to a tower of a corner, which yet is named the tower of Tancre. And other great men were lodged there with him. From this tower to the yate of the Occident comprised the earl of Toulouse and the people who were with him. But after Tancre saw that because the tower defended the yate so well and also because the valley was so near, he could not make much profit there, therefore, by the counsel of the wise men who knew the being of the town, he removed from thence and went on the mound on which the city is set between the town and the church of St. Symeon, which is outside the city, as lodged him there. myght best protect the town there. And to defend the church, this said church, which is holy, for our Lord and his disciples washed its feet there. The holy ghost descended in fiery tongues on Whit Sunday. In the same place, the glorious virgin Mary departed from this world, bearing in her precious body the savior of the world. There is shown the sepulcher of St. Stephen.\n\nWhen the barons were thus lodged, facing north from the tower on the corner of the valley of Josaphat, and from thence to that other corner of the city which is on the pendant of the same valley toward the south, it was evident that one half of the town was in pain or not yet assaulted. For from thence, that I have said to the gate named Mount Sion, the city was not assaulted. Five days after the host was lodged to attack the city, it was agreed commonly and cried through all the lodgings that all men should be armed as best they could. They might and came to the assault. They all came and began strongly around the town. They had hearts full of courage and burning desires and will to do the work of our lord. In their coming on, they took the Barbicans that were right before them. And the Turks enclosed them within the great walls. The people of the town were so terrified of their great hardiness and prowess that they sought refuge with our people and had great fear. In such a way that they lost all hope for defense, for they had endured and could have scaled ladders & catapults by which they might have approached the walls of the town. They would have taken it certainly. But when the assault had endured from early in the morning of that day until one of the clocks of the same day in the afternoon, they perceived that without engines they could not do great harm or damage to the town. Therefore, they withdrew them back and proposed to come again to the assault when their engines were better ordered. The barons consulted among themselves on how to find materials to build engines for the town, as they believed no trees or wood could be found in the entire country for such purposes. However, a valiant man from the countryside emerged and informed them of a valley, six or seven miles away, teeming with trees and abundant wood for making such things. They dispatched a large number of carpenters and some of the barons to oversee them. Each carpenter felled the trees and had them transported in carts. All those who could assist in such work joined in, and they began to construct engines, mills, castles, and covered ways in great quantities. The pilgrims who could work took no wages if they could be self-sufficient, while the others received their wages from the common fund. Of all the barons present, none could pay for the costs of this enterprise. The lord of Toulouse undertook the work himself, supporting all the laborers without assistance from anyone else. He also granted many generous gifts to knights who had fallen on hard times, while the other knights and common people rushed to bushes and hedges to gather sticks and rods with great diligence to make torches. No one was idle, but all helped with this task. There was no shame or disdain for doing anything that might be useful, for they believed that all their toil and expenses they had incurred and made along the way were insignificant if this enterprise was not successful in taking this town.\n\nHowever, they faced great hardship from thirst. As I have told you, the place where the city stands is very arid and dry without fountains, wells, or springs of water. When they heard that our people were coming, the townspeople were alarmed. they filled some pits near the Cisternes where rain water was, and covered and stopped them so that pilgrims would have no ease of water. But the citizens of Bethlehem and those of a little town called Tecua, who knew the country around, showed them some fontaines, brooks, and cisterns. There was great pressure and great distress, such that when the poor people could bring their barrels and vessels full of troubled water and thick, they sold it dearly in the heat of June. The fontaine of Syon was not good enough. Thirst grew greatly from the heat in June, and from the toil and the dust that entered their mouths. When two or three had found any water running or a well, all ran there in such a way that it fell immediately. Men on foot were not in as great distress as those who had horses, for they sometimes led them three or four miles further. to watre them\u00b7 & yet vnnethe found they ynowgh there were many that lefte theyr horses / and haban\u2223douned to goo where they wold and other beestys for defaulte of water. ye shold haue seen mules\u00b7 Asses / Oxen.

Those in the town feigned nothing but made great care and great intent to make other engines against us. They took good heed to the instruments our men made to test them. And they addressed themselves as well or better to defend themselves, for they had greater abundance of timber within the town than those outside. The town was much well fortified with all things they needed. Before our people came, they had great plenty of cords, stones well fettered and other things more than they needed. The Christian men of the town were more troubled and charged with these works than any other men. And also they were beaten cruelly. Some they slew. And with all these measures, they bore them on hand that they were traitors and discovered their counsel to their enemies. There was none of the Christian men that dared go upon the walls, but if he were charged or loaded with. During the Siege of Jerusalem, the pilgrims contained them as I have said. Then came a messenger bearing news that some Genoese ships had arrived at the port of Jaffa. They urgently requested the barons to send knights to conduct them to Jaffa. The barons prayed to the Earl of Toulouse, who was the richest among them, to send some men. He complied with their request and dispatched a knight named Wildmart Carpine. And delivered to him xxx horses and footmen / After that they were parted, the barons said to their lord that he had sent few men and begged him to send more. He agreed well and sent Remon Pellet and Guyllamme de Arsbran with L horsesmen. But before they had overtaken this wild mart, which always remained in front until he came between Lyde and Rames in the plains, they met there 5 C Turks on horseback who were routed but held them in check. And warned each other to do well. In this time, while they were fighting to hold them in check, these two knights who came after and their company saw this received them honorably. While they were encamping there, they discharged their ships to adjust and order how they might enter the host. Suddenly or any man took charge of it. The navy of them of Egypt, which was made ready in the port of Sklauonye, saw their opportunity to harm our people. When our men and the Genoeses perceived this, they hastily. They descended to the sea. At first, they intended to defend themselves, but when they saw that so many people were coming and they couldn't resist them, they disguised their ships as quickly as they could and cut their cables and sails, and took down other tackle and laid it in the fortress. One Genoese ship, which was going for some gain on the sea, came fully laden and was about to arrive at the port of Iaphe, but they in the ship knew well that our men kept no more than the tower. And when they saw their opportunity, they made themselves ready, set their things in order, and went their way and came into sight where they were received with great joy. For the mariners of Genoa were excellent carpenters and could well make engines and other instruments of war in such a way that since then. The barons began more diligently and brought their enterprises to a better end. Those who remained in sight did as they could to address their situation. For Duke Godfroi of Normandy and the Earl of Flaundres, Gace de Veer had a valuable possession, wisely and justly named. He oversaw the workers. This man did make their work justly and well. The carpenters conducted the men on foot to gather rods and bows of trees for making witches and pins to cover the engines. They also hewed the large timber and brought it to the host to the workers. They took the hides of the beasts that died and stretched them upon things to keep and defend them from fire. In the northern part, the barons entered vigorously, as I have said, to assault from the angle or corner to the west gate. Tancre traveled much, as did the other knights who were there lodged, considering how the city might be well assaulted on their side. On the side toward the south, there was the Earl of Toulouse and his people. He was most renowned for having a capable captain, an excellent man named: Guylliam Ebryac and his men were occupied with this work for four months, with a set day designated for the assault. However, due to the great rancor and wrath of the lord of Toulouse and Tancre, as well as some other barons and knights who did not wish to cooperate for various reasons, the barons, at the urging of the bishops, decreed that all disputes should be resolved peacefully. Each man was to pardon the other's ill will and malice, as our lord would help them better in carrying out and completing their work. If it happened that they died, they could more surely attend to their deaths.\n\nThe day was set and agreed upon by common accord. The procession was to be made, and the men were to assemble at the mount of Olivet. They were to maintain a fast on this day in repentance for their sins and offer prayers to our lord, imploring him to have mercy on his people and receive the chaplain of the Duke of Normandy. which was a great clerk and wise. From the other part, he gave the sermon to the people. They exhorted them with sweet words to venture courageously into the work of our Lord, where it was better to die than to live. The mount of Olivet is against Jerusalem in the east. His disciples and he ascended up to heaven on that day of the Ascension. And he went up into a cloud before them all in heaven. And when all the people had been there in great weeping and prayers, and all the debates were said on the side toward the south, on the top of a hill, the Saracens of the town, who were in the towers and on the walls of the town, marveled much. What this might be that our men were doing there, and where they might see the press near to them within range? They ceased not to shoot arrows and quarrelsome in such a way that they hurt some. Then they addressed crosses on the walls and, in contempt of our Savior, spat on them, and made other shameful and foul things which are not fit to be mentioned. The people of our lord, who were in willing service to him, saw well the things the Turks did. Their desire grew and increased greatly in their lord Jesus Christ when they had made their orisons and prayers in the church of Mount Sion. The day was appointed and named for them to make the assault by common accord. Then they returned to their lodgings. If there was anything to be done on their engines, it was accomplished immediately. Every man took good care of himself that nothing failed that should be necessary to make the assault against their enemies.\n\nWhen the day approached that they had named for the assault on the city, the night before, the valiant duke Godefroy had it well fortified with all manner of engines. And the most defensible men of the city they had stationed there. Therefore they doubted this part more than any other. The noble men had counseled: they knew well that they could not harm the town there. And they undertook an enterprise elsewhere. The great affair involved all the men they had, joining their castles to the side facing us. They barred us all in. On the other side, between the gate of Seynshold and the lesser defense, they had awakened all night, both the barons and those pledged to them. The preparations were so well and holy ordered that everything was ready for us before the sun rose. In the morning, the Turks remained on the walls and towers, marveling at what this could be that our men had labored all night. They saw that the lodgings of the Duke and the other barons near him had been evacuated. They searched for them on the other side of the town and found them there, where they had set no guard. When they saw men and the castle prepared, they marveled greatly. They doubted even more because of this, wondering how they could accomplish this work in such little time. The barons, as you have heard before, had unexpectedly and swiftly initiated and completed their engines on that side of the town. The lord of Toulouse had approached the walls, constructing a castle with great labor between the church of Mont-Saint-Michel and the city. Another castle, tall and imposing, was being erected nearby. These three castles surrounding the town were nightward, forming a double line. One of the flanks was like a bridge. Despite this, the side was not yet unclosed or discovered. It was effective in defending those within the castle.\n\nThe day began strongly. Our men were all armed and ready. The messenger of the marshals rendered their souls to him who made them. There were none who wished to retreat, and children joined in the fight. Incessantly, they shot a great quantity of arrows and quarrels. With their engines, they cast great stones. The means:\n\nThe day began strongly. Our men were all armed and ready. The messenger of the marshals rendered their souls to him who made them. There were none who wished to retreat, and children joined in the fight. Incessantly, they shot a great quantity of arrows and quarrels. With their engines, they cast great stones. People threw their hands from the walls and towers, their intention being to make our men withdraw from the walls. The good Christian men, who had no doubt about dying, covered them with shields and targes, as well as other habiliments, to keep them from the stones and shot. Those within the castles did not leave to shoot and cast stones upon the Turks incessantly. Others had great levers and plenteous ropes and cords with which they labored and endured to draw forth the castles. Those put in charge of throwing stones and occupying the enemy were not idle, but had their things well addressed. They threw great stones at those defending the town most sharply. They traveled much to do something that might harm their enemies. However, those who wanted to put forth the castles could not do so, for there was a ditch filled with hemp and cotton. And great pieces of timber bound with cables of ships which hung a long length. by the walls and towers, arranged in such a way that when the stones of the enemy struck these soft things, the blows were lost and caused no harm to the walls. On the other side, the Turks within the town had more engines directed at us than we had outside, and a greater quantity of other artillery. Of arbalests without comparison to what we had, by which they killed many of our pilgrims. Our people were therefore afraid. Thus the assault was extremely great and perilous from morning until evening, and during the assault it ceased neither in arrows nor in stones flying more thickly than in a thousand years before. There were so many that often the stones met and hit each other in mid-air, breaking and flying in pieces. The assault was in three places. The barons inflicted great pain on them to weaken the Turks. It was not easy to tell which party had the better. Our pilgrims were put to great effort to carry earth to fill the ditch, so that the castles might join to the walls. They threw large amounts of fire into the castles, and men could see many arrows burning. Brands and it was not unlikely that many were hurt who were above for target practice. It seemed many times that all should fall to the ground. But our men quenched the fire with water and vinegar, and had ready pines to stop the holes and also to hold their castles together so justly in such a way that their conduct was in all things good and hardy.\nThis great assault and perilous situation, which had so long endured, finally departed with the dark night. Our men returned to their lodgings to eat and rest. They left great watch around their engines because the Turks should not burn them, and the people of the town made great watch to keep their walls. For they greatly doubted that our people, whom they had seen so vigorously assault and defend, might by night come up on the walls by ladder and enter the town. Therefore they urged them to make good watch all this night and to go round about the town. The walls and fortified the towers. The streets also made watch within the town with a great number of people due to fear of treason. They remained vigilant, remembering what had happened in the assault. Every man remembered what he had done and was motivated for it to last longer, as it seemed that they had no grief or annoyance from the troubles they had suffered that day. They had great hope in their hearts that as soon as they should come together for the assault, they would have the upper hand with the help of our Lord. And they were in great anguish, appearing to be in more distress in their lodgings than in the assault.\n\nThe spring of the day appeared, and the people were awakened at once. Each went to the place where he had been the day before. Then you would have seen some run to the gates and others go upon the castles to shoot with bows and arbalests. Many remained under to draw the said castles forth. Now the townspeople were ready to defend vigorously against the assailers. They died on both sides, as much of stones as of quarrels, but the other side did not retreat. But they greatly avenged their own. Neither were they less courageous in such perilous affairs. One thing happened that should not be forgotten: our men had an instrument called a cable, so strong and well-made that it threw three great stones at once. It caused much damage in the town where it struck. The Turks saw that they could not break it, for it threw from such a distance. Therefore, they came upon the walls. Two old witches or enchantresses were there, who were to charm this engine. They had with them three maidens to help make their charm. All of our host watched them intently, and the three maidens, in such a way, were smitten to pieces and fell down dead from the walls. The souls went forth and a great cry arose, and such great joy that each of them was refreshed. of this good stroke, the townsfolk were overwhelmingly sorrowful and abashed in such a way that they had lost all their good and fortune due to the loss of these two old witches who had been slain. In this point, the assault continued into the afternoon, and it was unclear which side had the advantage. Our men began to weaken, and the assault turned them to annoyance and grief, for they had long since exhausted their power. The work was not much improved but had fallen into a desperation, and they had the talent to leave the castle, which was nearly destroyed by stones and shot, and intended to draw back the other engines that the Turks had cast in. Therefore, they prolonged the assault until the morning, and for this reason, their enemies perceived this and were raised into great pride. They mocked our people and said to them many foul and shameful words, and more defiantly defended themselves. The pilgrims were in a very weak condition after they were hurt. If it weren't for the kind lord who miraculously comforted them, they would have given up. A knight appeared on the mount of Olivet, unknown and unfindable. This knight began to shake his shield, which was very clear and shining. He signaled to our people that they should now retreat and return to the assault. The Duke Godfrey was in his position in the castle, and Eustace his brother was with him to decide and order what was necessary. They came back with such great joy that each man was certain of their courage returning. Their hardiness had refreshed them, as if they had suffered no trouble at all that day. A remarkable thing happened: those who were hurt seriously and lay in their beds, suddenly sprang up and put on their harness and arms again. The gently and more earnestly began to assault. The Barons, captains of the people to give example to others, put themselves forward and served our lord vigorously. Our pilgrims had such great joy in their hearts that they labored and filled the ditch within the space of half an hour. A Barbican, who was very strong, they brought to the wall. The townspeople had hung logs and pieces of timber along the wall to receive the blows of the stones. Among other things, there were two large pieces of timber. Our men in the castle cut the ropes in such a way that they fell to the ground. Those beneath took them with great effort and drew them near the castle to help stay and set under the castle bridge when it should be pulled down, for the side of the castle that was to be let fall. Upon the wall was of feeble timbre, so that if these two pieces of timber had not been, the men of arms could not have passed on it. While they contained themselves thus vigorously in the party toward the northeast, the Earl and the others with him on the side toward the south sailed there with great strength. They had filled a ditch in which they had labored for many days, drawing it so far out that it was nearly at the wall. In such a way, those above could strike the Turks with their glaives who defended the tower. A man could not endure the dauntless desire nor such great anguish that each Christian man felt in his heart for this assault. One thing gave them much great courage and marvelous hardiness: a hermit on Mount Olivet had promised them certainly that that same day would bring success. The knights had taken Jerusalem's holy city. They had not forgotten the knight's demonstrative act when he shook his shield. Nor did they have much hope of victory through these signifiers. It seemed that the Assaultites were on the same page on both sides in the matters I have mentioned. They both performed well, and certainly our lord would help his soldiers and bring them victory.\n\nThe people of Duke Godfrey and the other barons, as I have said, fought fiercely against them. The enemy was worn down and defended slowly. Our men were drawn forth, and the ditches filled. In such a way, they approached the walls, for those within did not emerge much. But they landed shots upon the walls. The duke commanded his people on the castle to set fire to the cotton pokes and sacks of hay on the walls. They did so. The commandment came with a smoke so black and thick that they could not see. The wind was northeastern and blew upon the Turks defending on the walls, preventing them from opening their eyes or mouths. By force, they had to abandon the place. The valiant Duke Godeffroy, who was intending to join the work, was the first to perceive that they had departed. He then commanded that they should draw diligently the two ends of the castle towards the walls. The side of the castle that could be lowered should be lowered upon the two piers. And thus, the bridge was made good and strong upon the timbers of their enemies. The first to enter and pass by the bridge on the walls was Duke Godeffroy of Bouillon, and Eustace his brother with him. After these two came two other knights, also brothers, who were also fierce and noble. One was named Lutol. that other side saw them enter a great number of knights and foot soldiers, running thickly, as many as they could sustain. Anon, the Turks perceived that our men had entered the town. And saw the banner of the duke on the walls. And were disheartened and gave over the towns and descended into the town, and put them in the narrow and confined streets to defend them. Our people saw that the duke and a great party of the knights were now entering. And that they had taken I wote not how many towers. They waited no command but addressed ladders to the walls and went up. It was commanded a while ago that every two knights should have a ladder. Therefore, there were great numbers in readiness, who were addressed up at once. The duke ran very diligently upon the walls. And set the people as they came in the towers. He much hastened to take the fortress. Anon, after the duke had entered, entered the duke of Normandy, the Earl of Flanders, Tancre the valiant, the Earl of Saint. The valiant Duke Godfrey of Bouillon and the knights: Gace de Bar, Gaston de Bedyers, Thomas de Fer, Gyralt de Roussillon, Lowys de Monco, Conan libres, Therle Remboult of Orange, Conain de Montaigu, Lambert his son, and many other knights were in the town. When the valiant Duke knew certainly that they were present, he commanded them to go hastily to the gate named St. Stephen's Gate and to open it when it was open. All the people came in with great multitude. For on this day and at that hour, our Lord suffered death on the cross cruelly in the same place. Therefore, the Lord wanted the people of his true pilgrims to take and deliver this town and make it free from the servitude and thralldom of the pagan men, so that his service might be had there and increase. The valiant Duke Godfrey of Bouillon and the knights and other men-at-arms who were with him descended from it. The men, all armed, advanced into the town. They went through the streets with swords in their hands, slaying all they met. They spared none - men, women, and children. Prayers and cries for mercy were ineffective. They killed so many in the streets that there were heaps of dead bodies, and it was impossible to go on or pass without stepping over them. The foot soldiers went to other parts of the town in great numbers, holding in their hands great poleaxes, swords, maces, and other weapons, killing all the Turks they could find. These were the men whom our men hated most and were eagerest to put to death. They had reached the heart of the city. The Lord of Toulouse and his men knew nothing yet that the town had been taken, but fiercely assaulted it again from this side. The Turks defending against him were unaware that our people were in the town. But when the cry and noise of the slaughter began to echo, The Turks beheld and saw from the walls, recognizing the banners and arms of the Christians. They were greatly disheartened and abandoned all their defenses, fleeing to what they believed was their best chance of safety. Since the keep of the town, which was the greatest strength of the city, was open, all who could entered and shut it. The Turks found in the streets and houses were brought to death and shown no mercy. I cannot recount or relate the deeds of every man for himself, but there was so much bloodshed that the cisterns and sewers ran with blood, and all the streets of the town were covered with dead men. It was a great pity to see, had it not been for the enemies of our Lord Jesus Christ. In another part of the temple, many great people of the town had fled. The most seriously and real place in the town was this one. And this place was tightly shut and enclosed with good walls, towers, and gates. But this prevented them little, for incontinently Tancre, who led a great party with him, ran there and took it by strength and slew many within. It was said that Tancre found there great treasure and gold, silver, precious stones, and silk cloth. He made all to be carried away. But after that, all were set in order. It was a wonderful thing that the heathen men and false miscreants, who had fouled and shamefully defiled their homeland with their law of Mahomet, should abandon their false rites there. And that their blood should also be shed, where they had spread the filth of impurity. It was a hideous sight to see the multitude of people who were slain in this place. They themselves, who had slain them, were sore displeased to behold them. For from the place of the foot to the head, there was none other. When the temple was closing, we killed about 10 Turks who weren't in the streets or other parts of the city. Then, the people of the pilgrims searched the lanes and narrow streets. Whenever they found any Turk, man or woman, they were immediately put to death. The barons had agreed that every man should take and claim the houses he first seized, and they should be his with all appurtenances. Therefore, the barons placed their banners on the houses they had conquered. The lesser knights and men-at-arms displayed their shields. The foot soldiers put up their hats and swords to show that the houses were taken and seized, so that no one else would enter them.\n\nOnce the Holy City was taken, and all the Saracens who could be found were killed, the barons assembled them and disarmed them. They commanded: Seven men in the towers to make good watch. The country was full of Saracens. They might assemble and suddenly come and strike into the town if there was not good watch and head taken. Then the barons departed. They disarmed them and took their hands and feet and tearfully led them to the holy places of the City, where our Savior Jesus Christ had been bodily. They kissed the place most sweetly where His feet had touched. The Christian people and the clergy of the town had often brought thanks to Almighty God at the Sepulcher. It was a pitiful sight to see how the people wept for joy and pity. And how they fell down a cross before the sepulcher. It seemed to each one that they saw the body of our Lord there. There were so many tears and weeping that every man thought certainly our Lord was there. When they came into one of the holy places, they could not depart but if They had a steadfast desire to go in another direction, yet they were filled with such joy and happiness from the honor our lord had bestowed upon them by delivering the holy city from enemy forces through their travels. They offered and gave generously to the churches and men of the church, making bows to give offerings in their countries. These people set little value on temporal things, for they believed they were at the gates and entrance of paradise. For never in this world could greater joy enter the heart of a man than in their sight and going to the holy places where our savior Jesus Christ had been. One should have had a hard heart and little pitying not to weep when these barons and all the other people made such glad faces at having accomplished their pilgrimage. The bishops and others. The people of the church could not depart from the church of the Sepulchre or other holy places. They prayed fervently and devoutly for the people and rendered great thanks to Jesus Christ for allowing them to see these holy places, where the faith of Christendom was first given. On this day, a certain thing was seen by many men in the City of Jerusalem: the valiant man Aymart, bishop of Puy, who had died in Antioch, was reportedly seen moving and climbing the walls of the town. He called others to follow him. Many other pilgrims who had gone before were also reported to have appeared to many. These events make it clear that our Lord loves this holy city above all others and that this is the highest pilgrimage. When men are raised by the will of our Lord to perform their pilgrimage, the Gospel relates that on the same day, many bodies of those who had been dead arose. They appeared to many in the city. This miracle, long held in the seignory of the Paynims, was renewed when it was under those who served the law of Muhammad. Such great joy was spread through the town that they did not remember the great tribulation they had suffered along the way. Then, all was accomplished that the prophet had foretold: \"Rejoice with Jerusalem, and make joyful those who love her.\" As many Christian men as had dwelt in the town, who had seen Peter the Hermit there four or five years before, received letters from them to bear to our holy father the pope and to the barons of France. They stood before him, wept for joy, and thanked him greatly. The hymn of this man had so effectively conveyed his message that they continued to praise and laud our lord, who had given such counsel to the barons and the people. By this they had accomplished such a great feat, which was beyond the hope of all men, save by the Lord's intervention. All gratitude and thanks they gave to Peter the Hermit, who had so courageously endeavored to deliver them, through the Lord's help, from the captivity and dolorous servitude in which they had long been held by the cruelty of the Saracens, as you have heard before. The Patriarch of Jerusalem had gone to Cyprus to request alms and aid from the Christian men there to help and succor the Christian men of Jerusalem. For he feared that, if they failed in their payment, the Turks would plunder and destroy their churches or put to death the best men of their people, as they had done many times before. This good man, the Patriarch, knew nothing of this. of this good adventure that our lord had undertaken for the delivery of the town, but supposed that he would have come and found it in such servitude as it was when he departed.\n\nWhen the barons and other pilgrims had made their prayers and visited the holy churches throughout the City of Jerusalem, the high men of the host assembled and said that it was a perilous thing if the town were not cleared of the dead bodies and purged of the blood and filth. For in a short time, the air would become corrupt, and sicknesses and infirmities might ensue and follow. There were some Turks yet who had not been slain but were kept in irons. They were commanded to perform this task of removing the bodies from the town, but because they were few in number and could not accomplish it quickly, they took the poor men of the host and gave them good wages to help them.\n\nWhen the barons had devised these things, they went into their houses and made great rejoicing. They gave liberally. The town was replenished with all goods. The houses were filled with necessary items, which they had long lacked and endured great anguish and poverty for. On the third day, it was ordered that a market should be held in the town, and they should buy and sell the things they had conquered in the city. They were greatly refreshed and rested, as they now endured no travel. They did not forget the Lord who had brought them to such great honor. They also, by common accord of the prelates, barons, and all the people, ordained that this day, in which Jerusalem was taken and praised our Lord, should also be used to pray to our Lord for the souls of those who had accomplished these things.\n\nA large party of Turks in the town's prison, named the Tour David, saw that the entire city had been taken. He said to him, \"If they do not...\" They could depart with their wives and children and such goods as they had on the journey; they would go their way and deliver over the journey's end. He agreed and made it so. And so they departed. He had them conducted safely and saw the dead bodies out of the town, doing it willingly and diligently. In a short time, this was all done. For they buried them in deep pits outside the town, most of them. The remainder they burned to ashes. The ashes with the wind were blown away. Our men were then safely and comfortably within the town, free to go and walk through the streets and other places. They daily went on pilgrimages; they could not depart then. They remained so happily there. In this manner, as you have heard, was taken the holy city of Jerusalem. In the year of the incarnation of our savior Jesus Christ, MLXXXIX. The fifteenth day of the month of July, on a Friday, at the hour of none, began this journey. He was pope of Rome at that time. Vrbans and Henry, Emperor of the Romans; Alexis, Emperor of Constantinople; and Philip, King of France, were like the pilgrims who had great need of rest, quartered in the town. The barons managed the city's affairs. In great joy, they assembled all the barons to choose one among them to whom the guardianship, governance, and keeping of the town should be delivered, as well as the entire charge of the realm, since it was reasonable and right. They prayed and made supplications. With all their hearts, they called upon the holy ghost to counsel them that day and to grant them grace to choose a man worthy and capable of sustaining the kingdom's trials. A group of clerks assembled, who had ill intentions, driven by pride and covetousness. They arrived where the barons were assembled and saw them choosing a king. shalt govern this and worthier than the temporal [therefore we say to you]. The most high things should go before [and thus would we that you should do]. And the ordinance should not go forth otherwise than it ought to. Now then we pray and require you in the name of our lord that you enter not into making a king until we have chosen a patriarch in this town who can govern the Christians. If it pleases you that this be done first, it will be good and well for you. And then we shall hold him good or well done. But we shall discord [and after that you do not be found bargaining]. Was Master & captain a bishop of Calabria, named Lamana. This bishop favored much one Arnold, of whom I have spoken before, who was full of disloyalty. He was not yet subdeacon, and was a priest's son and of so evil and foul life that the boys and sons had made songs about him through tooth. And yet, notwithstanding all this, the bishop of Calabria, against God and all reason, favored him. Reson wanted to become patriarch, as they knew that for this reason, Arnold should be patriarch and the bishop should have the archbishopric of Bethlehem. But the Lord ordered this matter in another way, as you shall hear. There were many clerks of evil disposition in the host, little inclined to the service of our Lord, they little revered religion and honesty. Since the time that the valuable bishop of Poitiers, who was the legate, had died, they held him holy in this pilgrimage. And some others who were noble. But the commonality of the clerks made it all go wrong.\n\nThe words the clerks had brought to the barons in their election were not much respected. But it did not prevent them from doing what they had begun. In order to know the barons better, they ordered wise men to investigate the lives and manners of each one. They did bring forth such men as were most private of the barons. And took each of them apart by the leave of their lords. Took from them their oaths to speak the truth of that which they should be examined, concerning the life and manner of their lords, without agreement among them. It was a great thing when the lords abandoned and held all things secret. Many things were said to them of which they took but little heed. Among other things, those who were most private of Duke Godfrey's household, when he touched his teeth, answered that he had one most grievous and annoying habit. For when he heard mass and the service of our Lord, he could not depart from the church but sent for painters and glaziers to the clerks and governors of the churches. He listened gladly to the ringing of the bells and understood much if they discorded. This displeased his lordship and servants greatly. Often his food appeared due to his long tarrying in monasteries and holy places. When the wise men heard this. and this was the greatest vice found in the duke. They had much great joy, for they believed well that he did this for the love of our faith and for the honor of our savior. When they had heard all, they spoke to Guy. A great party of them were in accord with the earl of Toulouse. If it hadn't been for one thing, for all those most private with him thought that if he were chosen king, he should stay and retain the people of his country. And if he were not chosen, he should soon return to his country from whence he came, and they desired this much. Therefore, they said some evil had no blame. Nevertheless, he had never intended to return to his land. As it appeared after, for he remained in the service of our lord. Which he had entered into, when the barons heard all. After many words, they agreed on Godfrey of Bouillon and named him king. All the people with great joy went to the church of the Holy Sepulchre and presented offerings to our Lord. Every man was glad, great and small, for he was the man who had the hearts of all the common people. In this manner, Duke Godfrey was chosen to be king and lord of the Holy City of Jerusalem. The lady of Toulouse held the keys to the treasury. It is situated in the highest part of the city, toward the west. Strongly fortified with square stones, one can see over the entire city from there. When the Duke saw that this tower was not in his power, it seemed to him that he did not have the seigniory. Since the greatest fortress of the entire country was not in his possession, he demanded the keys from the lady of Toulouse in the presence of the barons and prayed her earnestly to deliver it to him. She answered that she had conquered it and the enemies of our Lord had given it to her. And so she held it. But she had decided to go to her country at Easter, and then she would willingly give it to him. the mene whyle he / wold kepe it / This requyred he for to be more honoured and in the gretter su\u00a6rete\u00b7 The duc answerd playnly that yf he had not the toure / he wold leue all\u00b7 ffor how myght he be lord of the countre. whan ano\u2223ther had gretter power and gretter strengthe in his londe than heand therle of fflaundres helde with the duc godeffroy / Of the other barons ther were that counseylled\u00b7 that he shold doo his wil with therle of tho\u2223louse.

They appeared to have forgotten these gestures. As it was said, they were disdainful of him because of this, and by the knights' insolence, he decided to return to his country. He descended to the Jordan River and there was banned. The evil man I have previously mentioned, the bishop of Maturane, was filled with great malice and disloyalty. He worked to create discord between the barons and the people, for it was said that the barons would not allow a patriarch to be chosen because they held the church's rents and would not deliver them, and they agreed to this against the will of others and the duke as well. of Normandy, to whom he was much beholden, and it would not have been good for him or that other. Then, a part of the true Cross was found in that place by the Church of the Sepulchre in a secret place, for the Christian men there doubted that the Turks would have taken it from them. Therefore, they hid it carefully, and few knew of it. But a good man, a surgeon, who knew it, revealed it to the band that bore it, bringing it to light. Great joy spread throughout the land when it was discovered that the valiant Duke Godfrey was chosen king. All obeyed him with good hearts. He amended the discords throughout the land diligently. And all other things that required amendment in such a way that his power grew from day to day, evidently. Of him, I will say in short, the very truth is that he reigned not but one year, and that was much damage, for he had the will, wit, and power to do great good in the Holy Land for tenuous enemies of our Lord Jesus Christ. and to enhance and exalt the Christian faith, but our Lord called him from this world to Him, so that the malice of it should not change his heart in the honor in which he was born. He was born in the Kingdom of France at Beaune, which was once a city, and now is little more than a castle. He came from high and noble people and good Christian folk. His father was named Eustace, earl in that country, who had done many great works and acts of charity towards our Lord and good works for the world. His mother was a noble lady, more noble in heart than in lineage. She was named Idea and was sister to the Duke of Lorraine, who was named Godfrey and ruled the country for his newborn son who bore his name. Therefore he was Duke of Lorraine. His uncle was dead. He had three brothers who were very wise men and good knights, and also very faithful and true. One was Baldwin, earl of Rages, who after him became king. I. Jerusalem\n\nThe second was named Eustace, bearing the name of his father. He was Earl of Boloune. King Stephen of England took his daughter to wife, named Maude. The barons of Surrey summoned this Eustace to make him king upon the death of his brother Baldwin, who died without heir. However, he refused to go, for he doubted the barons and their discord. The fourth brother was William, a good knight and true. He did not dispute the bounty of his brothers Baldwin and Eustace. Baldwin and Eustace followed their lord and brother on the pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The fourth brother, William, remained in his country to keep the land. All the four brothers were of great value. But the Duke Godfrey, being the eldest, bore away the prizes and advantages as one who was full of virtues, bounty, and righteousness, without covetousness. He feared and loved our Lord above all things. He honored religious men and the good. He was firm and constant. worde / he despysed merueyllously bobaunces. pompes / and dishonestherd the seruyse of our lord and moche wel vnderstonde it\u00b7 And in his prayers and orysons prayeng our lord he was right longe / And fylle ofte in wepyng haboundantly teerilord louyd hym. wherof he was worthy to haue the grace of the world\u00b7 And so he had certaynly / he was grete of body. not of the grettest / But of mene gretnesse. more stronge than an other man / his armes grete and wel quartred\u00b7 and acustomed that it semed\u00b7 that hit greued ne coste hym nothyng to were them\noNe thyng is sayd for trouthe\u00b7 And it happed in the tyme of the yongthe of thyse four bretheren whiche ought not to be leste vnremembryd ne forgoten / The Moder of thyse four\nbretheren of whom I haue spoken was an holy woman / and en\u2223tendable to good werkes.

Their father Eustace arrived where the lady was. He saw her mantle move. He asked the lady what it was. She replied that she had three great princes. The first of them should be a duke. The second should be a king. And the third an earl. For Godeffroy was duke of Lorraine after his uncle, and had also the kingdom of Jerusalem, but he was never crowned nor called king. The second was Baldwin, who succeeded him to the said kingdom and was crowned. The third was Eustace, who after his father's death became earl of Boulogne. Now let us return to speak of the valiant Duke Godeffroy. For much honor can be said of him and of the valiant deeds he did.\n\nAmong all other high deeds that he did, I shall recount to you one without fail: one of the highest barons of Germany, a great and strong knight, valiant and brave, challenged him to single combat. A nobleman named Siewed brought a dispute before Duke Godefroy, who was his cousin, in the court of the Emperor of Austria. They were both men of significance in the duchy of Loreyne. Duke Godefroy demanded a large portion of Siewed's land that he held in Loreyne, claiming it was rightfully his. Siewed argued that it belonged to him. The dispute dragged on for days and respite in the court, leading the judges to decide that it should be resolved through battle. They set a date for the fight.\n\nOn the appointed day, they came to the field armed and prepared. Bishops and good men labored much to make peace between them. Other barons present urged them to seek a means and manner to end the dispute. They showed them how they were of one blood and lineage. They urged them to avoid this senseless quarrel that would bring shame and dishonor to one of them. The bishops and good men urged them much, but they could not find a way to make peace between them. Then,\n\n(beginning of text is missing) The battle between these two barons was fierce and sharp, for they were both good and strong knights. They clashed violently. This battle lasted so long that the valiant Duke Godfrey struck the other so greatly with his sword that it shattered. In such a way that there remained only half a foot of the sword above the cross. The barons who witnessed the field saw how the duke had broken his sword and had the worse. They were deeply sorry and angry about it. They went to the emperor and begged him sweetly that he would allow them to come between them. He granted it gladly. The friends spoke to each other and came to a reasonable peace agreement. However, they left something of the duke's right in this peace. When they brought this accord and peace to him, the duke in no way wanted to hear of it. Instead, he began the battle even more cruelly and fiercely than before, and the other, who still held his whole sword, doubted and feared not the duke's strokes. Who had but a truncheon ran upon the duke and oppressed him, denying him the leisure to rest until the duke began to think and take heart. Then he donned his armor and struck his adversary with the pommel of his sword that he held, upon the lifeless form that he was, for he felt no foot or hand. Then the noble duke lightly dismounted and discarded his truncheon from his sword. He took the sword from him who had beaten him down and mounted his horse again. Then he called the barons who had made and brought to him the peasants, and said to them: \"Such manner of peasants as you have offered to me now is agreeable to me now, and I am ready now to take and abide by it. For though I have suffered damage and loss, yet I have no shame nor dishonor. And it pleases me well to give and depart of my right to him who I do not slay, my cousin. When the barons heard this, all they began to weep. The peasants were made such as He said that he had more honor and had performed many other feats of prowess in this battle, which I shall relate to you without lessening. The people of Saxony, who are the most fierce and cruel of all the Germans, despised and disdained being subject to the emperor. They said they would do nothing for Emperor Henry but wanted a lord over themselves who would obey no one else. They chose a high-ranking man from their country, an Earl named Raoul, to be their king. When the emperor heard this, he was very angry and desired greatly to be avenged for such great insolence. Therefore, he sent for all the barons of the empire and assembled a great court. He had the pride and rebellion of the Saxons declared and demanded counsel and their help in the presence of them all. They all agreed that this matter should be avenged promptly. The disobedient bodies and power were taken from the emperor for the amending of this transgression. They departed, each going into his country. The emperor summoned his host at a castle on the march of Saxony. When they entered the land, their enemies declared that they would fight against them. For they were proud and fierce. In such a way that they set little store by the emperor's power when they knew that they must fight. They ordered their battles, for they had many people and were well-prepared. Then they demanded of the emperor which one of them should bear the standard, which is the emblem of the empire. They chose above all others for this task. The valiant duke of Lorraine, worthy and sufficient to do it. They considered it a great honor that he was thus chosen by common accord of them all. Nevertheless, he said and refused as much as he could. But he had to take it upon himself. This day came, and one party approached the other in such a way that The duke Godefroy, leading the battle of Emperor, saw a large group of men. Among them was Raoul, lord of Saxony, against them. The duke knew Raoul and struck his horse with his spurs against him. With the banner he bore, he charged against him so forcefully that he pierced him through the body and killed him on the spot. Immediately, he raised and displayed his bloody banner high. His people saw that they had lost their lord and were demoralized. Some fled, and some fell at the feet of the emperor and surrendered to his mercy. All the gentlemen and others gave good hostages to be forever at his command. The valiant duke Godefroy performed many other feats. In the duchess of Lorraine was a renowned castle, chief in honor, bearing the name / when he should move to go and highest of his heritage to our lord in Alms in the church of Liege to abide there forever. Having thus been elected, he was first enthroned in the church and temple clerks appointed to serve him, and he established canons and gave them great rents and large heritages, which they should take according to the establishment, uses, and customs of the church. If our lord had given him longer life, he would have brought with him religious monks from his country. These monks said and They established them there and endowed them richly with good rent, and gave them great privileges. He was a very religious and devout man, with a heart much given to the holy church. He gave it many great things. When he was chosen to be king, all the barons requested that he be crowned and receive the honor of the kingdom. For the sinners, he would never bear it if it played God to crown him with gold or precious stones. Instead, it seemed to him that it was from that coronation that he had the day of his passion to honor all the Christian kings who should come after him in Jerusalem. For this reason, he refused the crown. There are some men who will not account him as such. Among the kings of Jerusalem, but I think that therefore he ought not to be lessened nor diminished in honor, but the more and higher exalted and enhanced. For he did not do this out of contempt for the sacrament of the holy church, but he did it to test the boastfulness and pride of the [people]. The world belonged to him, and for the great meekness and humility he possessed, I say not only that he was not a king, but he was greater than any king who ruled any realm since the holy land of Jerusalem was conquered. Newly when the city was taken, yet before the barons had departed, tidings came into Jerusalem, and truly they were, that the Caliph of Egypt, who was the most powerful and mightiest of all, had great disdain and contempt for Rome and had taken the city upon his enemies. He summoned his commissioners and commanded them to take all these people with him and go to Syria, and run vigorously upon this people who were so foolish and outrageous that they had torn his peace and made war on his people. Therefore, he commanded him that he should efface and destroy them all, so that never a word be spoken of them. This Elafdales was born of Ermenye. He was called Cimirenes by another name. Of the Christian men, he was one. But for. the Rychesse that was gyuen hym. and for the lecherye that he fonde emonge the mescreauntes / he renyed our lord and Cristen fayth for to become sarasyn. This same man had conquerd the Cyte of Iherusalem vpon the turkes\u00b7 and sette it in the puys\u2223saunce of his lord the same yere\u00b7 that the cristen men had besieged it. And had not yet holden it \u00b7xj / monethis\u00b7 whan thoost of the pyl\u00a6gryms toke it vpon them and rendred it to Cristiente / hit was a thynge that it moche displaysyd his conestable that his lord had hold it so short a whyle / And enioyed nomore his conqueste\u00b7 ffor this cause he enterprysed in hym this werke / and for to rennAnd hym thought it but a lytil thynge and a light for to doo\u00b7 consyderyng the grete plente of peple that he had for to disconfyte them that had taken the Cyte. He cam in to Su\u2223rye\u00b7 & brought with hym alle the power of Egypte\u00b7 he had grete pryde in his herte by cause of the grete people that he had / And was moche angry toward our men / But our lord that can fettioyned alle the dukes of Masque and those of Arabe who were in the parties were greatly perturbed about entering the land. The Egyptians and the Arab Turks were loath to join forces, but doubted each other greatly. However, after they accompanied each other to come upon our men, they concluded to come after to fore Jerusalem for siege, for they supposed very much that our barons would not in any way issue out against them in battle.\n\nWhen these tidings were spread through the city of Jerusalem, all the people were greatly afraid, both great and small. By coming accord of the bishops they came wailing and cried mercy to our Lord with sighs and tears. They besought Jesus Christ much sweetly that His people, whom He had kept and defended until that day, He would deliver from this peril and not allow the city and holy places that they had lately rendered and given to His name and to His service to be remanded and handed over again to disorder and filth and in the hands of the enemy. The unfaithfulness of the heathen men. From then, they formed a procession, signing with much great pity to the temple of our lord. The bishops and the clerks performed the service, and the lay people prayed with much good heart and piously. When this was done, the bishops gave them the benediction. Afterward, the duke ordered barons and knights to keep watch and sent messengers to fetch Eustace, the duke's brother, and Tancre to come there and yield the city to them. They went by the duke's command and well fortified the town with people and supplies, abundant in this fertile land. They did not know anything about these happenings, but the duke sent for them and they came hastily, and were with the other barons when the duke and the earl of Flanders arrived at the City of Rames. They knew certainly that this admiral was lodged before Escalona with such great people that the country was covered. Then they sent: The messengers hurriedly went to Jerusalem to inform other barons who were waiting for certain news. He urged them to come quickly, bringing all the people, to fight against a large number of their enemies. The Earl of Toulouse and other barons, knowing the certainty of their enemies' approach with great power, gathered all their men in Jerusalem. They approached them diligently in the plains where the duke was, assembled. They numbered their men and found 12,000 horsemen and 9,000 foot soldiers. Our men had estimated that the enemy's host had been there for a day or so. In the evening, when it began to grow dark, they saw from afar a great press advancing and covering large parts of the plains. Our men were certain that it was the Saracens' host, and marveled greatly how they had come against them at that time. They sent out two horsemen lightly armed and well horsed to scout the approaching people and determine their numbers. They rode a good distance and, upon approaching, recognized that it was a large herd of oxen and mares. There seemed to be no end to the number of them, and it appeared that there were men on horseback keeping them in check. The scouts reported back to the barons that there were only beasts. Our men then all ran towards them. Some of the herdsmen fled who could, while others were captured and revealed the truth about the Turks. It was well known that this large Saracen host was encamped only seven miles away. They had planned among themselves nine battles and commanded that three should go out on one side due to the vast plains. The middle should go in it, and three should come behind, of the same syns might not know the number, for there was such great plenitude and growth of the country around, which ran towards them in such a way that it was not to be estimated, when our men had obtained this great gain that I spoke of - that is to say, of all the beasts - they had great joy and joyously received them that night. But those who had the charge kept watch on horseback. In the morning when the sun had risen, the duke cried that every man should arm himself and go to his battle. And after went forth a soft passer-by right there where they thought and knew that our men had no talent to withdraw them or avoid them but came to seek them out. They began to doubt. When they saw that our men had taken and surrounded such a great place on the plains, they supposed that they had been much more people and in greater numbers. But the truth was as I said, Our men were but few on horseback and a foot. The gang. The greatest men, those supposed to bear the fate of the battle, began to withdraw little by little and left their battalions one after the other, fleeing quietly. When the last knights of the Turks perceived this, they never took hope on them. But turned their horses and struck with their spurs, and each man fled wherever he supposed would save him.\n\nOn this day, he was lost who had set all his heart to sow and pursue discord wherever he was living. No one knew where he became this; some men said that the duke had sent him to fetch the barons left in the city. When he returned, Saracens should have taken him and slain him or brought him in prison, whatever came of him. It was no great harm, therefore, that he was effaced from this holy company. When our barons saw that our Lord had fought for them, and had put such great fear and dread into the hearts of the Turks, they were no longer afraid. They fled without striking a blow. They had great joy and rendered grateful thanks to our lord devoutly. They had counseled that they should not rally and gather again. They might have put our men to the worse. Our men rode in order to the tents of the heathen men. For those who fled looked never behind them. Our men found great quantities of gold, silver, robes, and vessels there. The least of them had enough. They gathered all that they found and returned, and went again to Jerusalem, every man laden and charged with spoils. Thanking and praising our lord, by whom this victory had come to them. In this manner they contained them in the City of Jerusalem. The two valiant men who had long been in the service of our lord and had completed their pilgrimage \u2013 that is, the Duke of Normandy and the Earl of Flanders \u2013 they took leave of the other barons and took their way for. The men returned to their country, having come to Constantinople by ship. Emperor Alexios welcomed them warmly and gave them generous gifts at their departure. After they had entered their own land in good health and joy, one of them \u2013 the Duke of Normandy \u2013 found things changed in his country. His oldest brother, William Rous, who was king of England by right, had died without an heir. According to the customs of the land, the kingdom had passed to the Duke of Normandy. However, his younger brother, named Henry, came to the barons of the country and explained his intentions of never returning to this side of the mountains. The barons made him king in Henry's absence. Upon his return from the holy land, Henry demanded his inheritance from his brother in its entirety. But his brother refused to hand it over. The Duke made redy a grete nauye / and gadryd as moche peple as he myght in normandye and other places. and passed the sear\u00a6ryued by force. His broder that was kynge cam ayens\nhurt & damage yf thyse two bretheren shold fyght thus\u00b7 Therfor they spak of peand made it in this manere / that the sayd hen\u2223ry shold holde the Royamme / but he sholde gyue euery yere to his brother a greet somme of good / of whiche he made hym sure / And thus retorned the duc agayn\u00b7 and cam in to his londe. after it hap\u00a6ped that the kyng whiche had somme castellys in normandye to fo\u00a6re that he had the Royamme of Englond / them wolde he kepe as his herytage / The duc demaunded them\u00b7 And he wold not delyue them / thenne the duc assieged them. and toke them by force\u00b7 whan the kyng herd this / he was moche angry. he assemblid grete peple and passed ouer in to Normandye / his brother cam ayenst hym / And they fought to gydre at tynche bray / ther was the duc discon\u00a6fyted and taken his broder put hym in pryson. wherin he deyde / Thenne had this henry All gathered were the realm of England and the duchy of Normandy. The Earl of Toulouse came to him and was to return hastily. Emperor Charlemagne made great joy and received him warmly, giving him great gifts. And after, he returned to his wife's holiness and safety, in Surrey. But it was two years later, as you shall hear, that Duke Godfrey was in Jerusalem. He governed the realm wisely, which our lord had given to him, retaining with him the Earl of Garner of Greece and other barons. Tancred the valiant remained with him. To him, the Duke gave the city of Tyre, which stood on the coast of Syria, and all the principalities of Galilee with the city, which was formerly named Porphyry and now named Caesarea, and all the appurtenances of these things. Tancred held these lands so well and wisely that he was allowed by God and honored by the world. He founded the churches of this country richly, giving them great revenues. And endowed them with fair and great amenities. Specifically, the church of Nazareth in Tabarye and that of Mount Tabor, which he left in high estate and in much riches. However, the barons who came after him as lords of the country took from them virtually all of their tenures. Tancred was wise and true, and delighted in doing well to the churches, as it appears after he was prince of Antioch. For he endowed the church of St. Peter and the principality and seignory of Antioch, making it much more wealthy and expansive, as you shall hear.\n\nWhile the Kingdom of Jerusalem was in such a state, Buymont, prince of Antioch, and Baldwin, Earl of Rages, brother of Duke Godfrey, had heard certain tidings that the other barons who held them together as brethren for the companionship of their pilgrimage had, through the help of our Lord Jesus Christ, conquered the Turks and recovered to our faith the holy City of Jerusalem. By this they had accomplished their vows. the pilgrimages. There, they assembled on a day named for going to the holy sepulcher, called together by their vows. They desired much to see the Duke and the other barons, to whom they would give aid if they had need - that is, of their bodies, their goods, and their men who were under them. These two high men were not present at the taking of the holy city of Jerusalem. For, by the will of the pilgrims, one of them remained in Antioch, and the other at Rages. They kept themselves solemnly and defended the Turks from these two cities which were far from Christendom. Each man had to do his duty in his country. But they all left to come to the other. Buymont came first from his city with a fair company, a great number of armed men on horseback and foot. He arrived at a city in that same time. In that same place, pilgrims from Italy arrived at the same time in Syria. Among them was a good man, wise and well-educated. Religious and of great honor, named Daybert, Archbishop of Pisa. Another was In his company archbishops of Poitiers of a city named Acianencrede welcomed these two princes, ensuring they had a well-equipped entourage of fifty men on horseback and foot. They passed through such difficult terrain that they suffered greatly. They lacked provisions, for they found none on their journey and what they had brought from their country was depleted. They also endured heavy rain, which made it impossible for anything to survive. The people of Triple and Cesaire were the only ones willing to sell them provisions. They received them with great sincerity and great joy from God, the barons of the clergy, and all the people. They visited the holy places of the city, filled with tears and great sorrow in their hearts. They fell down flat and prostrated themselves in the churches, kissed and ate there what the Lord had purchased. Upon entering their lodgings in Lys, all the townspeople made great joyful noises for them. When the high feast of the nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ approached, all the prelates and barons came to greet them. yssued out of Iherusalem\u00b7 & wen\u2223te to Bethlehem / There helde they theyr Cristemas.

In a like manner, he returned to nothing when this wise man was installed in his dignity. The duke Godfrey and Prince Buymont came before him, who had given him this honor to be the vicar of Jesus Christ in that land. They thanked and praised God, and when this was done, they signed rents to the new patriarch. Such rents as his predecessor, who was Greek, had held. And other greater ones in such a way that he could maintain a good and honest company of people. Then Buymont and Godfrey took leave of the duke and the other barons and descended to Flom Iordan. From there they went by the river side until they came to Tabarye. They then passed by the land named Fenyce and left Cesare on the right side. Afterward, they held the sea side and explored so much that they all came to the city named Manbec. The duke, who was humble and measurable, could not endure the peasants among the people during this debate about his church at the sepulcher. The duke, who was humble and measurable, doubted our lord. On Candlemas day, in the presence of all the clergy and all the people, he gave the fourth part of Joppa much debonairly to the patriarch and his church to hold forever. After this, on the day of Easter, in the presence of all those assembled at this feast, he gave into the hands of the patriarch the fourth part of Jerusalem and the towers with all the appurtenances. Always foreseen by covenant, the duke should hold these cities and the lands around them until he had conquered the Turks in two other cities. By which the Russian realm might be enlarged. If it happened that he died in the meantime without having said so, but it is over great marvel. For what reason? This wise holy man deduced the following for these cities of this noble duke, as I have said. Those who knew the land's state held themselves in lesser esteem when they understood this work and marveled at it. The barons who had conquered the city gave it to the duke so freely that no man living should have any right above him. The duke was to hold it entirely without making obeisance to any other. It is certain that from the time the Latins entered the City, and even earlier, the patriarch of Jerusalem held the fourth part of Jerusalem's city as his own. I will tell you how this came about and by what reason shortly, for the truth of it has been searched out. It is found in ancient history that while this City was in the hands of the pagan people, it could never have endured for long. It was often besieged by pagan princes surrounding it. for each of them would conquer it and put it under his sigillory / Therefore they took often the probes and measured and transgressed against the Citizens of the town / They broke the towers & walls most outrageously with their engines. And because of the antiquity of the walls / the City was disclosed and open in many places / In this time the Kingdom of Egypt was more rich and more powerful in honor and good and defense than any other of the Kingdoms of Turkey / for the Caliph held then Jerusalem and the land thereabout. And with his great host that he sent there, he conquered all Syria up to the Lykos, which is by Antioch. Thus had he increased his empire. He established his bailiffs in the cities that stood on the sea side. And in them he maintained the cities in good point the towers, and redressed all about such as needed, by the advice of his men. And after their establishment, The bailiff of Jerusalem commanded those of the town to repair their walls and set them entirely in point like as they were before. Then he ordered and decided how much each street of the town should contribute. By great cruelty and malice, he commanded that the Christian captives in the city should make up a fourth part of the walls. They were so poor and so grieved by taxes and excises that among them they hardly had enough to pay for two of their own. They knew well that he sought an opportunity to destroy them all. Therefore, they assembled and came humbly before the bailiff, and he had commanded them to do more than they were able. The Christian men rebelled and threatened them, and they were much afraid. On the other side, they saw that they could not bear the burden he imposed on them. Therefore, they showed them great pity, and the bailiff granted them a reprieve until they had sent to the emperor of Constantinople to ask him, for the love of God, to send his alms to perform this horrible work and deliver them from the danger of death. They would have been condemned if it weren't for their own doing. The messengers came from them to the emperor, inquiring about the reasons for the filth the Turks were making them suffer. Finally, they all had to die if he didn't spare them. All those who heard them began to fear Constantine and surnamed Monamaques. He governed much more vigorously the request of the poor men he was associated with. He was greatly moved in his heart by their plight and said that he would help them gladly. He would grant them so generously from his goods that the four parts of the walls which were demanded of them should be completed. But he promised them well that he would do nothing without a contract. That is, if they could purchase from the lord of the land. That within the party of the city that he would close the deal with his money. None would dwell but Christians. On this condition, he would do it, and in no other way. In this way, he delivered to them his patent letters. He sent to his bailiff of Cyprus, that if the Christians of Jerusalem could, they should. The purchase of the Caliph of Egypt's rent in that land, as you have heard, required him to let make the fourth part of the walls of this holy City. The messengers who had carried out this task returned to the Patriarch and to those who had sent them. They reported to them truthfully how they had done and fared. They answered that it would be difficult to obtain, but they must try, for they could pass in no other way. They sent good and trustworthy messengers and true ones to this great lord, the Caliph of Egypt. Our lord helped him in such a way that he granted them what they sought and, in short, he delivered to them a good charter sealed with his seal, confirming with his own hand the fourth part. The messengers returned. Those who had sent them rejoiced greatly when they knew how they had accomplished their mission. The bailiffs of Cyprus entered into Syria and they made the fourth part. of the walls. The goods of the emperor were brought to them, as he had commanded. This work was completed in the year of our Lord MLXiji. At that time, Calyphe was king of Egypt, and this was 45 years before the city was conquered. Until then, Christian men lived in the town among the Turks, usually one by one. But from then on, the fourth part of the town was delivered to them. The Christian men were greatly relieved. For when they dwelt among the Turks, their neighbors inflicted great annoyances and shame upon them. But when they were among themselves, they did not do the same, if they had any disputes among them, it was brought before the patriarch. For from then on, in that part of the town, there was no other justice but him. He governed it as his own. His four parts are bounded as I will tell you- from the gate that goes down, which is named the gate David by the angle, or otherwise called. In this area, the walls that were built are bounded by the chief way leading from the gate to the change, and from thence again to the western gate. Within this space stands the Mount of Calvary, where our Savior Jesus Christ was crucified and the holy sepulcher, where he lay dead and from which he arose from death. The hospitals: one for monks and another for nuns. The patriarch's residence and the cloister of the canons of the sepulcher.\n\nAfter all the barons who had come on pilgrimage had departed from the land and returned to their countries, the valiant duke, to whom the kingdom was delivered, and Tancred, who remained with him, were almost alone in those parts. They could not muster more than three hundred men on horseback and two thousand foot soldiers when they died. The cities that the pilgrims had conquered were far apart, and none could come to the other without great peril. The enemies were the villages around the cities called Casians, where Turks resided as subjects and obeyed the lords of the cities. However, these Turks refused to surrender their lands to them, preventing the lords and men of the cities from collecting rents. The Christian men were not secure within the cities due to their small numbers. And at night, they were robbed in their houses and killed in their beds, while their possessions were taken away. This led many Christian men to leave their fair tenements and houses in the cities and return quietly to their countryside out of fear that the Turks living nearby would one day assemble and take the towns by strength and distress, destroying them completely and erasing their memory from existence due to hatred. And they fled away. Assuredly, they came again. And he found it well fortified with provisions, men-at-arms, and other engines. There were many Turks there, hardy and defensible. The host of the Christian men outside were few and suffering, as they had no ships with which they could defend the sea way, enabling them to enter and exit when it pleased them. For these reasons, the duke was compelled to leave the siege and depart, intending to return to the same place when the time was more favorable, and when he was better provisioned with men, whom he needed to take the town. It happened during this siege, which I have spoken of, that something ought not to be forgotten. From the mountains of the land of Samaria, in which is the land of Naples, came some Turks who were lords of Cappadocia thereabout. They brought the valiant duke, Godefroy, a good gift. presents of bread, wine, dates, and other fruit. It might well be that they came to present such things to him, those who had brought them. The noble duke, he who was humble and without hoard, so lowly, marvelled that he did not have about him sergeants bearing swords or hatchets, or an axe mentioned. Then he said that it was no shame for a mortal man to sit upon the throne, for there he must return after his death and lodge in his body and become an earthworm. When they heard this answer, those who had come for tea and to test him began much to allow and praise his wit and his humility. They departed from there, saying that he was shaped and fit to be lord of all that land, and to govern the people, who were so without pride, and knew power and the fragility of his nature so well. This was heard by him. He was so much deadened and doubted of his enemies, who inquired about his affairs, which they found not in him but vigor. Reason. In the Kingdom of Jerusalem, a rich man of the estate urged Shalde to hasten to his land, for he was buying Montfort and hurried, taking a good company and setting out on his journey. He passed the River of Euphrates and entered Mesopotamia, approaching the city of Melitene, which he intended to receive. However, a Turkish amiral named Dommayn, who had been unexpectedly disarmed and dispossessed, ambushed them. All who remained were slain. The Turkish man, filled with pride and boasting of his great host, came before the city of Melitene and besieged it. Believing they would surrender without delay, some of those who had escaped from where the prince was taken fled to the city of Rages. They informed Lord Bawdyn of this great event. When the valiant earl heard this, he was greatly angered and had great pity for the prince, whom he considered a brother due to the pilgrimage company. Since their countries were so close, it would have displeased him if the Turks had conquered this city, for Buymont should have been saved. He summoned all his men he could mount on horseback and on foot, and took with him those necessary for such a journey. They traveled for three days from Melitene. The earl had passed this way before and was near the city, but the said Donysmayn knew of his coming and dared not stay and fight with him. Instead, he abandoned the siege and departed, leading Buymont, who was bound and closely guarded. When Bawdyn heard that he dared not stay and fight with him but fled before him, he pursued him with his men for three days. When he saw that he could not overtake him, he returned to the city of Melitene. Gabriel the lord The town received him with great joy, along with all his men. And after giving them good cheer, he handed over the city to him by the same convenants that he had offered to buy it with. Once this was done, Godeffroy the valiant Duke and his men, who were left behind to keep the realm, began to suffer greatly and endure poverty. It happened that good spies and trustworthy men brought him tidings that in the parties of Arabia, on the other side, there was no doubt. And so they dwelt outside fortresses, for if they were surprised there would be much great gain won. The valiant Duke, who had suffered so much, took with him foot soldiers and horsemen as many as he could save, the guard of the City. Then he suddenly entered into the land of his enemies. There were gathered many great preparations, that is to say, horses, cattle. He returned toward Jerusalem. Some Turks were high and pursuing them from Arabia. Among them were many who were hardy and noble in arms, and had great renown. Among all of them, there was one who had long desired to see Duke Godfrey of Bouillon and to know if it was true that his force and strength were as great as they were said to be. He made himself known to the people of France, who had come from the Occident to attend him, and set them under his subjection. Above all others, he desired to see Duke Godfrey and to know if the reports of his prowess and strength were true. He spoke so much to such men as he met that he won them over, winning their loyalty as is their custom. And after he had prayed and humbly asked the duke for a long time, the duke granted his request. He drew his sword. And he struck the camel on the neck where it was thickest. The blow was as light as if it had been to a sheep. When the Turk saw this, he marveled greatly. In such a way that he was greatly abashed when he had a little thought of himself. He said in his language, \"I see well, he said, that the duke has a good sword, sharp and cutting. But I never knew if he could strike such a blow with another sword.\" The valiant duke demanded what he said. And when he knew it, he began to smile a little, and afterwards said, \"You shall have my own sword.\" The Turk did so. The duke then struck another camel in such a way that he made the head flee much more lightly than of the other. Then the Turk marveled greatly and said that it was more by the strength of the arm than by the bounty of the sword. He had well proved that it was true that was said of the Duke in his country. Then he gave to the duke many fair jewels of gold and of rich stones and became greatly acquainted with him. After returning home, the valiant duke came to Jerusalem with all his retinue and vast possessions, which were so great that all the men in his company were wealthy. In the month of July, the valiant duke Godfrey, who governed the Kingdom of Jerusalem, fell ill with a severe ailment. All the physicians in the country were summoned. They did all that was possible, but in vain, for the pain continued to worsen. After this, he summoned religious men, including prelates, curates, and other good and devout men, for counsel regarding the health of his soul. He was deeply penitent and confessed with great weeping. In his right mind, with great devotion, he departed from this world. Certainly, we ought to believe that his soul was taken up by angels before the face of Jesus Christ. He died on the 14th day of July in the year of our Lord M / j / C. He was entered and buried in the church of the [church name]. The holy sepulchre is located under the place of Mount Calvary, where our Lord was crucified. That place is kept honest for entering and burying kings up to this day.\n\nThis concludes the book entitled The Last Siege and Conquest of Jerusalem, which includes various other histories. First, the history of Heracles and the afflictions of Christian men in the Holy Land, their relief and conquest of Jerusalem, and the death of Godfrey of Bouillon. Translated and reduced from French into English by William Caxton. I, a simple person, have done this so that every Christian man may be encouraged to undertake war for the defense of Christendom and to recover the said city of Jerusalem, in which our blessed Savior Jesus Christ suffered death for all mankind. He rose from death to life and ascended into heaven from the same holy land. And also, so that Christian people, united in a true peace, might endeavor to go there in pilgrimage with strong hand. For the purpose of expelling the Saracens and Turks from that land, so that our lord might be served and worshipped by his chosen Christian people in the holy and blessed land in which he was Incarnate and blessed with the presence of his blessed body while he was on earth; by which conquest we might deserve after this present short and transitory life the celestial life to dwell in heaven eternally in joy without end. Amen.\n\nI present this book to the most Christian king, King Edward the Fourth. Humbly I beseech his highness to take no displeasure at me for my presumption. I began this book on the twelfth day and finished it on the fifth day of June in the year of our Lord 1481, in the twenty-first year of the reign of our said Saracen lord, King Edward the Fourth. And in this manner I set it in order and had it printed on the twentieth day of November in the same year at Westminster Abbey by the said William Caxton.", "creation_year": 1481, "creation_year_earliest": 1481, "creation_year_latest": 1481, "source_dataset": "EEBO", "source_dataset_detailed": "EEBO_Phase1"},

Chapter xlij:\nThis history includes parables, good learning, and various points to be noted. Through these points, people can learn to discern subtle things used in the councils of lords and prelates, spiritually and worldly, as well as among merchants and common people. This book is made necessary and profitable for all good people, as long as they understand and feel the subtle deceptions that exist in the world, not to promote their use but to enable every man to avoid and keep himself from subtle falsehoods. Whoever desires a full understanding of this matter should frequently read this book and carefully mark what he reads, for it is set subtly, as you will see in reading it. It was about the time of Pentecost or Whitsuntide, that the woods commonly become lusty and glad, the trees clad with leaves and blossoms, and the ground with herbs and sweet-smelling flowers. The fowls and birds sang melodiously in their harmony. The lion, the noble king of all beasts, would hold open court at the stade during these holy days, commanding strict commissions and mandates that every beast, great and small, should come thither. All the beasts obeyed except Reynard the fox, for he knew himself faulty and guilty in many things, and complained sorely about Reynard the fox.\n\nIsegrim the wolf with his lineage. friends came and stood before the king / and said, \"He is the one who passed by where your children lay, in such a way that they have become blind. A day was set, and he was judged to come and excuse himself for it and swear on the holy cross that he was not guilty of it. But when the boy with the saints was brought forth, Reyngar thought otherwise and went his way again, as if he had not been there. The king knows well many of the best men who have come to your court, and yet he has transgressed against me in many other things. He is not living who could tell all that I now leave untold. But the shame and wickedness that he has done to my wife, I will never hide nor suffer.\"\n\nWhen these words were spoken, a lithe hound named Courtoys stood there and complained to the king about how he had been severely frostbitten in the cold winter, in such a way that he had kept himself from coming to the king's court. nomore than a pudding which Reinard the fox had taken away from him, came Tybert the cat with an air of indignation and sprang among them, saying, \"My lord the king, I hear that Reinard is sore oppressed, and there is none but he has to do to clear himself, that the court complains of. This has been going on for many years. How comes it that I do not complain? That pudding was mine. I had won it by night in a mill. The miller lay and slept. If the court had any part there, that came to me, then spoke Panther, \"Think you, Tybert, that it were good that Reinard should not be oppressed, he is a very murderer, a rogue, and a thief, he loves no one so well, not our lord the king here, that he would well that he should lose good and worship, so that he might win as much as possible. He promised Cuwart and said he would teach him his creed and make him a good chaplain. He made him sit between his legs and sang and cried loudly, Credo. Credo. my way laid hand on Master Reynard, who had left and read and sung, and began to play his old play. For he had caught Kywart by the throat, and if I had not come at that time, he would have taken his life from him, as you here may see on Kywart the hare, the fresh wound yet. My lord the king, if you suffer this unpunished and let him go free who has thus broken your peace, and will do no right according to the sentence and judgment of your men, your children will be shamed and blamed therefore. Surely Panther said, Isegrym, you speak truth. It is good that right and justice are done. For those who wish to live in peace.\n\nThus spoke Grymbart the dwarf, and was Reynard's sister, with an angry mood. Sir Isegrym, that is evil, said it is a common proverb, An enemy's mouth, says well, what lay you? And know me, Reynart, I would that you would venture which of the two of you had most trespassed, should hang by the neck as a traitor. the thief on a tree, but if he were in this court and with the king, it would not be thought of him that it was you, who had stolen and misled on the plays which he threw down from the cart, when you followed after from far, and you ate the good plays alone and gave him no more than the great or bones, which you might not eat yourself. In the same way, you did the same to him with the fat answer. Reynard, fair youngling, I will gladly give you your share, but my men had nothing, nor was it better for them. Nevertheless, he had won the favor of Bacon with great fear, for the man came and threw him in a sack, from which he scarcely came out with his life. Such things Reynard has suffered many times through treachery.\n\nLords, do you think this is good, yet it is a trespass to him because of his wife. My Men have been with her for more than seven years before he wedded her. Reynard acted out of love and courtesy towards her, doing as he pleased. She was quick to forgive him, and Isegrym, being wise, should have had no complaint. He should not have shown such disrespect to his wife in this way. She feigns innocence now, and Quarrel adds his complaint as well. He thinks me a fool, if Reynard had not learned his lesson, he should not have mastered his master in return. If the scholars were not punished and corrected for their misbehavior, they would never learn.\n\nNow Quarrel complains that he suffered painfully during the winter, at such a time when the crops were not growing well. Whoever understands the law and can discern the right, and if he had been hanged at his birth, he would not have done Iustice without leave. For the king's honor, he did not do it. He has little to thank her for, what harmed him. that he is thus complained of: My lord is a gentle and true man, he suffers no falsehood. He does nothing but by his priests' counsel. And I say to you, my lord the king has proclaimed peace; he never intended to harm any man. He eats only once a day. He lives as a recluse. He chastises his body and wears a shirt of hair. It has been more than a year since he has eaten flesh. As I heard yesterday from those who came from him, he has left and given over his castle Malperduis. He has built a cloister where he dwells. He hunts no more. He desires no winning but lives by alms and takes nothing but such things as men give him in charity. He does great penance for his sins. And he has grown much pale and lean from praying and watching, for he would be pleased with God. Thus, as Gisbert, my lord's servant, stood there and preached these words, they came down the hill to them bringing a cock and a hen, and Reynard lay in wait for the hen from whom the cock had taken the head. Chaucer came forth and pitifully clasped his hands and feathers. On each side of the buyer were two sorrowful hens, one called Cantact and the other Goodhen Crayant. They were the fairest hens between Holland and Arden. Each hen had a burning taper, long and straight. These two hens were Coppin's sisters. They cried piteously, \"Alas and woe is me, for the death of our dear sister Coppin, Coppin's sister.\" Two young hens bore the buyer, who called so heavily and wept so softly for the death of Coppin, their mother, that it was scarcely heard. Thus they came to the judge, and Chaucer said, \"Mercyful lord, my lord the king, please hear our complaint. And abhor the great sand which was enclosed within a walled enclosure. In which was a shade where Sire Ferumbras, the Saracen knight, resided. Reynard the fox held great envy towards him because he knew none could approach them.\" Wel often has this hunted him away, and once they leap on him upon the bank. It cost him some smoked God to amend it. Thus were we quite of Reynard the fox, and fouls should do no harm or scathe to any other. Yet he said to me more: that he was a cloistered monk or a closed recluse coming, and that he would receive great penance for his sins. He showed me his slave and pilgrim's staff and an hermit's shirt beneath. Then he said to me, Sir Chantecler, after this time be no more afraid of me nor take heed. And he went to my children and called them together, and went out without the wall to wash, from which much harm has come to us. For Reynard lay under a bush and crept between us and the gate. So he caught one of my children and laid him in his den, from which we have had great harm. Since he has tasted of him, neither hunter nor hound can save or keep him from us. He has waited by night and day in such a way that he has stolen so many of my children. that of the fifteenth I have but four, in such a way has this thief delayed them. And yet yesterday was taken my daughter who lies upon the bier with the hounds rescued. This complaint I to you, gracious king, have pity on my great and unreasonable damage and loss of my fair children.\n\nThen spoke the king, \"Sir Dasse, hear this well of the recluse. He has fasted and prayed that if I live a year, he shall abandon it. Now, chase the clerk, your plea is enough. Your daughter who lies here dead, we will give to her the death right we may keep her no longer. We will bring her worshipfully on earth. Then we will speak with these lords and take counsel how we may do right and justly regarding this great murder. And bring this false thief to the law.\" They began the placebo dominus, with the verses which, if I should say, were long for me. When this vigil was done and the commendation, she was laid in the pit. And the polished as clear as any glass, and thereon was hewn in great letters, this complaint: \"she is shamefully come to her death.\" After this, the king sent for his lords and wisest counselors to take advice on how this great murder and treason should be punished against Reynard the fox. It was concluded and appointed that Reynard should be sent forth and not leave for any cause. But he came into the king's court to hear what should be said to him. The king thought that all this was good and said to Brun the bear, \"Sir Brun, I will that you do this message.\" But beware well for yourself, for Reynard is a sly fox and knows so many wiles that he will lie and flatter, and think how he may beguile, deceive, and bring you to some mockery. Brun said, \"Good lord, alone, the fox deceives me. I have ill learned my case. I believe he will come too late to mock me.\" But Brune departed merily from thence, but it is feared that he could not merily return. Now is Brune gone on his way towards the fox, with anxious mood, who supposed well that the fox would not have beguiled him as he came in a dark wood in a forest where Reynard had a bypath when he was hunted. By the side was a high mountain and land. And there Brune had to go in the middle to reach a dwelling place. But the castle of Maleperduis was the best and fastest burgh that he had. There he lay inns when he had need and was in any dread or frowning. The sentence as shall be given there will be: it shall cost you your life he will hang you, or set you on the rack. Reynard do, by my counsel, and come to the court. Reynard lay within the gate as he was often wont to do for the warmth of the sun. When Reynart heard that Brune had gone, he went inward into his den. Maleperduis was full of holes, one here and another there. and shedded only when he had brought home some provisions, or knew that anyone sought him for his misdeeds and transgressions, then he ran and hid himself from his enemies in his secret chambers, which they could not find. By this ruse, he deceived many a beast that sought him. Reynard, in his thoughts, pondered how he might bring the bear in charge.\n\nIn these thoughts, Reynard came out and said, \"Good servant, richest in leopards and land, I would willingly be at court now. I eat what it might help you, a poor man is no lord, that you may know me by me. We poor folk must eat often such things as we gladly would not eat if we had better. They were great honeycombs which I had to eat out of necessity. They have made my belly so large that I can no longer endure. Brun, speak up at once. Alas, Reynard, what do you say? Set yourself so little by honey. I ought to praise and love it above all food. Dear Reynard, help me that I might get some.\" \"I will give you a share of this honey and as long as I live, I shall be a true friend to you and stand by you as far as you help me, so that I may have a part of this honey. Brun, I had supposed that you had taken some for yourself, so help me God, Reynart, I would not gladly take it with you. Then spoke the red Reynart, is it then earnest that you love the honey so well? I will let you have so much that ten of you should not eat it at one meal, might I get your friendship with it; not we ten, said Reinard. The bear said, how should that be had? I should eat it all alone. Reynard said, what do you say, Eme? Here dwells a husbandman named Lantfert, who has so much honey that you should not eat it in seven years, which you shall have in your possession. If you will be friendly and helpful to me against my enemies in the king's court, then Brun promised the bear that if he might have his belly full, he would truly be to him, above all others, a faithful friend.\" Reynart the Shrew laughed and said, \"If you want unhamped barrels, I will get them for you and help you obtain them. These words pleased the bear so well and made him so much the happier that he could not stand. Reynart thought, 'This is good luck. I will lead him there so that he may recover by measure.' Reynart then said, 'This matter may not be long delayed, for the bear seems unwilling. Now come, let us go quickly and follow me. I will make you have as much honey as you can bear. The fox meant good tricks but the cunning man marked not what the fox meant and had brought there the other day into his yard a great oak which he had begun to cleave. And, as is customary, he had smitten two beetles therein, one after the other, in such a way that the oak was wide open, where Reynart was glad, for he had found it just as he wished. And he said to the bear, 'Look carefully in this tree, there is so much honey that it is beyond measure. Come and see.'\" \"Therein and eat, but beware, for though the honeycombs are sweet and good, yet do not eat too many. Take of them by measure, so you do not harm your body. For sweet am I, and I would be blamed if they did you any harm. What sorrows you, Reynart's cousin? Do you think I am a fool? Measure is good in all things. Reynart said, \"You speak in riddles.\" Why should I sorrow? Go to Cresse and heed over his ears in the cleft of the tree. And Reynart sprang lightly and broke out the bettle of the tree. He helped neither flattering nor cajoling. He was firmly shut in the tree. Thus the new one, with deceit, had brought his enemy into prison in the tree in such a way that he could not get out by might or by craft, head or foot.\"\n\nWhat profits the bear that he is strong and hardy? He cannot help himself. He saw that he had been beguiled, and he began to howl and to bray, and crippled himself with his hind feet, making such a noise and commotion that Landfert came out hastily, and knew what had happened.\" Nothing that could be, he brought in his hand a sharp hook. Brown deer lay in the cleft of the tree in great fear and dread. He held fast his head and nipped both his forefeet. He struggled and wrestled, cried out, but it was all for naught. He didn't know how to get out. Reynard the fox from afar saw how Landfert the carpenter came and spoke to the bear. \"Is that honey good? How is it now? Eat not too much, it would do you harm. You should not then come well to the court when Landfert comes.\"\n\nIf you have eaten well, he will give you better to drink, and then it will not choke in your throat.\n\nAfter these words, Reynard turned toward his castle, and Landfert found the head. Now Brown was dead, and Landfert pulled it so hard and so roughly that it bled. But he left behind all the skin and supposed it was not struck. Every man beware by this. Who has harm and sand put more to?\n\nThat was well seen on the bear, for they were all fierce and angry on the great and small bear. These were two men: one with a crooked leg, and the other with a broad long noose. They were both angry that one had a leaden mallet and the other a great leaden hammer. With these they waylaid him. Sir Bertolt, with long fingers, looked on and encouraged them. The man with the sharp hook and the crooked staff, who were playing at ball, were wronged by them so much that they wished to take him from life to death. They struck and stabbed him as much as they could. The bear sat, breathed heavily, and groaned. They were forced to give him what was given to him. But Lantfert was the worthiest of them all and made the most noise. For Dame Pegge of Chafporte was his mother, and his father was Macbeth the stoppelmaker. Before them all, Lantfert's brother sprang forth with a staff and struck the bear. the man heard and saw nothing, and there the bear sprang up between the bush and the river among a heap of women. He threw some of them into the wide and deep river. His wife was among them, which caused him great sorrow when he saw his wife lying in the water. He no longer desired to kill the bear but called out to Dame Juloke in the water. \"Everyone who can help her, men or women, I grant them all pardon of her penance and release all their sins.\" Then they all left the bear lying there, and the priest did as he was bid.\n\nWhen the bear saw them running from him and running to save the women, he charged and swam after them, as far as he could. The priest made a great show and noise and ran forward, crying, \"Come and tear again! I have caught them in it so deep that I lost both my foot and my horse.\" And so forth he drove them in and rested himself, for he was weary. He groaned and sighed, and blood dripped over his eyes. He dragged himself through the brush.\n\nNow listen how. The fox had/ or he came from Landfert, stolen a fat hen and had laid her in his den, and ran hastily away by a bypath where he thought no man should come. He ran towards the river, rejoicing that he hoped the bear had been killed. For he said, \"I have now well succeeded, for he who should have hindered me in the court is now dead, and none shall know it of me.\" May I not then be well rejoicing with these words? The fox looked towards the ward and espied where Bryn the bear lay and rested. Though the fox was rejoicing towards Landfert, alas, Landfert was a foolish man. God give him a shameful death, who has lost such good venison, which is good and fat, and has led him to his hand, many men would gladly have eaten of him. He has lost a rich and fat bear. Thus, rejoicing, he came to the river, where he found the bear sore wounded, bleeding, and very sick, which he might thank none better for than Reynard, who spoke to him. the bear in Skorne / The chief priest / God keep you from seeing the red, the bear said to himself / The rabbit and the fell deer, here I see him coming / Then said the fox / Have you forgotten about Landfert's? Have you also paid him for the honeycombs that you stole from him? If you have not, it would be a great shame and not honest / I would rather be the messenger myself to go and pay him / Was it not good honey? / I know they all grew angry and sorry that he could not take his revenge. He let the fox speak his will and with great pain suffered it. And started again in the river & swam downstream to the other side / Now he must sorrow how he would come to court / For he had lost his life and the skin with the claws of Tombe, nearly half a mile this way / I complain to you, merciful lord, king, about how Sir Reynard the fox was treated / Reynard sent for all the wise beasts / and asked for counsel on how he might avenge this. The council concluded old and young that the fox should be sent foremost and earnestly urged for a delay until such judgment was given on him for all his transgressions. They thought that the cat Tybert might best do this message if he would, for he is very wise. The king thought this council good.\n\nThen the king said to Sir Tybert, \"You shall now go to Reynard and say to him a second time that he come to court to answer, for though he has fallen in with other beasts, he trusts you well and will do so by your counsel. Tell him if he does not come, he shall have the third warning and be put to death, and if then he comes not, we shall proceed against him and all his lineage without mercy.\" Tybert spoke, \"My lord the king, those who counseled you are not my friends. What shall I do there? He will not come nor abide for me. I beseech you, dear king, send some other to him. I am little and weak. Bring the bear.\" whiche was so great and strong could not bring him, how should I then take it on hand? Nay said the king, Sir Tybert, you are wise and well learned. Though you are not great, there lies not on many to do more with craft and cunning than with might and strength. Then said the cat, since it must be done, I must then take it upon me. God give grace that I may well achieve it, for my heart is heavy and ill-willed thereto. Tybert made himself ready toward Maleperduis, and he saw from afar come flying one of St. Martin's birds. It cried out loud and said, \"Gentle bird, tear your wings back and fly on my right side.\" The bird flew forth upon a tree that stood on the left side of the cat. That was a shrewd token and a sign of harm. For if the bird had flown on his right side, he would have been merry and glad. But now he sorrowed that his journey should turn to unhappiness. Nevertheless, he gave himself better hope than Ward King has threatened you for to take your. If you come not now with me to the court, Tibert, my dear cousin, you are truly welcome. I would gladly have much good luck, good cheer, and tomorrow early in the dawning, we will gather and go to the court. Good thousand marks have gone with him. But, cousin, I will go early tomorrow with you. Tibert said, \"It is best that we go now.\" For the money shines also light, as it were day. I never saw fairer weather. There might be something that meets us by daytime that would make us happy, and by nighttime, perhaps, might do us harm. It is suspicious to all by nighttime. Therefore, stay this night here with me, Tibert said, what shall we eat if we abide here? Reynard said, \"Here is but little to eat. You may have a honeycomb, good and sweet.\" What say you, Tibert? Will you have any of it? Tibert answered, \"I set nothing by that. Have you nothing else if you give me a good fat pig?\" I would be better pleased. A fat pig said Reynard. Cousin, what? \"A priest living here has so many children that one couldn't lead them away on a wagon. I've heard the priest complain about this often. The cat spoke, \"I'd rather have mice than anything men give me. Don't you know that mice's savory taste is better than venison? You than flans or pastries will do well. Lead me there where the mice are, and then you shall win my love.\" Reynard said, \"You mock and jest with them.\" The cat replied, \"I do not.\" Tybalt said, \"Foxes know that you would yet this night make them full of mice.\" Reynard asked, \"Is it true that many have them?\" Tybalt replied, \"I will bring you to the place. I will not leave you before then.\" Reynard asked the fox, \"On your safe-conduct, I would go with you.\" Monpelletting to the place, where the priests son was walled up tightly with a mud wall and the night before, the fox had broken in and stolen a good fat hen from the priest. Angrily, the priest had set a guard dog, Reynard the cunning fox's guest and cousin. As Tybert was aware of the green, he was afraid and sprang forth. The green one began to wrangle, for he was almost strangely distressed. He called out, cried, and made a shrewd noise. Reynard stood before him and heard all. He was well paid and said, \"Tybert, love well these, be they fat and good, know their lord or Merrynet, they are so gentle that they would bring you sauce, Tybert, sing and eat, is that the company of the court? Lord God, if Ysegrim were there by you in such rest as you now are, then I would be glad, for often he has done me harm.\" Tybert coughed loudly, and Martynet sprang up and cried. Lowde, God be thanked, my green garth has caught the thief who stole our hens. Arise, we will reward him. In an evil time, the priest arose and woke all those in the house, crying with a loud voice, \"The fox is caught! Take heed and come all that are here, the priest himself ran naked. Mertynet was the first to come to Tybert, the priest took Mertynet's offering and commanded her to light it at the fire. He struck Tybert with a great staff. Tybert received many great strokes all over his body. Mertynet was so angry that she struck the cat out an eye. The naked priest lifted up and was about to give a great stroke to Tybert, but Tybert, seeing that he must die, sprang between the priest's legs with his claws and teeth and reached out his right colon or ball stone. This thing fell on the floor. When Dame Julette knew this, she swore by her father. soul / who would have given all the wealth of a year, if the priest had not caused her such harm and shame, and if it had not happened and been said, \"In the devil's name was the green set,\" see Mertyn live soon. This is from your father's treasures. This is a great shame and to me a great hurt, for though he is healed of this, he is still a lost man to me and will never again perform that sweet play and game. The fox stood without in front of the hole and heard all these words. He laughed so hard that he could not stand. He spoke softly, \"Dame Juliet, be still,\" and let your great sorrow sink. The priest has lost one of his stones; it will not bring him back to bed. It leapt and sprang out of the hole and rolled and went towards the king's court or came there. It was fair day and the sun began to rise. He had almost caught Harmon and blinded him on one eye, when the king knew that Tybalt was thus arrayed, he was very angry. and menaced Reynart, the thief, sorely, and at once gathered his counsel to devise how he might bring the fox to the law and how he should be fettered. Sir Grymbart, who was the fox's sister's son, spoke up and said, \"Lords, though my eme is twice as bad and shrewish, yet there is remedy enough. Let him be dealt with as a free man when he is apprehended. He must be warned the third time for all, and if he does not come then, he is guilty in all the trespasses laid against him and his or complained on. Grymbart, who would you have go and summon him? Who will venture for him his ear or his life, which is such a fell and false beast? I believe there is none here so foolish. Grymbart spoke, \"So help me God, I am so foolish that I will do this message myself to Reynart, if you command me.\"\n\nNow go forth, Grymbart, and look well to it, Reynart is so fell and false and subtle that you need to look about you and beware of him. Grimbert said he should see World's end. So Grimbert went to Malperduis ward. And when he came there, he found Reynard the fox at home, and Dame Ermyn his wife lying by her whelps in a dark corner. Thus spoke Grimbert and greeted his emn and his aunt, and said to Reynard, \"Beware, emn, that your absence harms you not in such matters that are laid and complained on you. But if you think it good, it is high time that you come with me to the court. The withholding you from it can do warning. And I tell you truly, if you abide till tomorrow all day, there may be no mercy to help you. You shall see that with your wife and child within three days, your house shall be besieged all about, and there shall be made before it and racked. I say truly, you shall not then escape, neither with wife nor with child.\"\n\nReynard the fox answered, \"Your words seem not to reach the heart of all the counsel some. Where great courts are gathered of kings or of great lords, where subtle counsel is needed, Reynard must find a place.\" The subtle one may speak and say his adversaries are best, but mine is superior to all others. In the court, there are many who have sworn to do me the worst they can, causing me to be heavy in my heart, for many can do more than one alone and hurt me. Nevertheless, it is better that I go with you to the court and answer for myself than to remain here. Reynart said to his wife Dame Ermyn: \"I commend to you my children, whom you see well to, and especially my youngest son Reynkin. He loves me so well that I hope he will follow in my footsteps. There is Rosal, passing fair, the thief. I love them as well as any man loves his children. If God gives me grace, when I return I shall thank you with fair words.\" Thus took leave of his wife Reynart. \"Ah, God, how sorrowful a farewell, Ermyn, with your small whelp. He who mourned for Malperduis was gone his way. When Reynart and Grymbert had gone a while to gather themselves,\" I am deeply sorry for my sins / I will confess and renounce them / My soul shall be purified / Gisbert answered / If you will confess, then you must first promise to leave your stealing and roving / Reynard said that he knew this / Now listen, and gladly will I receive you / Then say it in English so I may understand / I caught the cat in a green place where she was all beaten / I have greatly wronged Chanticleer and his children / I have made him quit a great deal of them\nThe king is not yet fully appeased / I have shamed him and the queen many times / They will never be free from this / But I deceived him, called him mine / But that was to deceive him / He is nothing of my kin / I made him a monk / Eselmare / And there I myself also became one / And that was to his harm and no profit / I bound his feet to the bell rope / The ringing of the bell pleased him so much that he wanted to learn to ring it. He had shame, for he ran so sore that all the people in the street were afraid of it and marveled at what might be on the belle. He came there before I arrived to ask about the religion, and was almost beaten to death. After this, I taught him how to catch fish, where he received many a stroke. I also led him to the richest priest's house in Veremedos. This priest had discovered where Hinge kept many a good slice of bacon, where I was often want to fill my belly. In this spine, I had made a hole. In which I made Ysegrym creep. He found tubs with beef and many good portions of bacon, much without measure, so that he could not come out at the hole where he went in. His belly was so great and full of the food. And when he entered, his belly was small. I went to the village and made a great show and noise. Yet I ate before him as fat a capon as a man could find. I caught the capon and ran my way with it. The priest. I cried out and said, \"Take and seize the fox, I think none have seen a harder thief. The fox comes into my house and takes my capon from my table. Where has anyone ever seen a harder thief, and as I thought, he took all that intended to harm me. I ran so long that I came where Isegrim was, and there I let the capon fall; it was too heavy for me, and against my will I left it there. Then I burst through a hole where I wanted and cried, \"Strike down here, friends! Here is the thief, the wolf! See well to it that he escapes not.\" They all gathered with sticks and stones and made a great noise, and gave him many a shrewd stroke. They struck him and threw him over stones and blocks without mercy.\n\nI led him to a place where I had landed a cock that sat on a perch and was very fat. And there stood a falconer by. We climbed up and I said to him, \"If you will believe me, and that he...\" \"He would creep in through the door / he should find many fat hens / Isegrim went all laughing to / the door ward and crept a little in / and tasted here and there / and at last and by chance /\n\nThose who were accustomed to sit there / I showed him a way, I made him seek further in / and showed him forth so far / that he fell down on the floor because the passage was narrow / and he fell so great a fall / that they all woke up who slept / and those who lay next to the fire cried out that the valley\n\nThey rose up and lit a candle / and when they saw him they struck and wounded him to death / I have brought him thus in many a peril / more than I now count / I should find many more / if I thought about it well / which I will tell you hereafter / Also I have kept company with Dame Ersynd's wife / I wish I had not done it / I am sorry for it / it is to her great shame / and that I regret.\" You held somewhat behind, I didn't know what you mean or where you learned this language. If I were to say it openly as it happened, it would be a great shame. I have left it with my aunt. I am indeed I would anger you if I spoke wantonly of women. Now I have told you all that I can think of. Set me penalty and absolve me, for I have great repentance. Grymbert was subtle and wise. He broke a rod from a tree and said, \"Indeed, now shall you strike yourself three times with this rod on your body. Then lay it down upon the ground and spring three times thereover without bending or stomping. And then shall you take it up and kiss it friendly in token of me.\" Thus spoke Grymbert to him and his life. Your thievery and your promised recompense were the reason he would do this, and then they both went to the court ward.\n\nA little ways beside the road, as they went, they stood before a cloister of black nuns. Where many geese were and as they were talking, the fox brought Grymbert out of the right way. The fox and without the walls, guarded by the bone, could not get out of the flesh, though he should be hanged - he could not turn his gaze from the poleys as far as he could see them. Grymbert saw his manner and said, \"Foul, false deceitful one, how do your eyes follow the poleys?\" The fox said, \"Cousin, you do me an injustice by speaking such words to me. You bring me out of my devotion and prayers. Let me say the Our Father for all the souls of the poleys and those I have betrayed, and often with falsehood stolen from these holy nuns.\" Grymbert was not well paid, but the fox had always had his eyes on the poleys. Until at last they met again. And then they turned to the court ward. How sore quaked Reynard when they approached the court, for he knew he had to answer for many a foul deed and theft that he had done.\n\nWhen it was known in the court that Reynard the Fox and Grymbart his cousin had come to the court, there was none so poor or so... \"feble of kin and friends, yet he made himself ready to complain about Reynard the fox. Reynard looked as if he had not been afraid, and held himself better than he was, for he went forth proudly with his new [thing] through the highest street of the court. Just as he had been the king's son and had not transgressed against any man the value of a herring, & I stood\n\nin the midst of the place, facing noble the king, and said, \"God give you great honor and worship. There was never a king who had a truer grace and yet, my lord, I well know that there are many in this court who would destroy me if you would believe them. But no, God thank you. It is not becoming to your crown to believe these false liars and flatterers lightly. To God it may be complained,\n\nhow these false liars and flatterers nowadays in the lord's courts are most heard and believed, the shrews and false deceivers are brought up to do all the harm and scandal they may to good men.\"\" Our man false thief and traitor, how can you bring forth fair tales? And all shall not help you a straw, flattering words to be my friend, serve me as you now shall, truly. The peace that I have commanded and sworn, you have well.\n\nHow shrewdly fell the thief said the king, you said bring the bear to me,\nwhen he ate honey at Landfert's hows in the village and did him harm and damage, there was he beaten before, if he had willed, he might well have avenged himself before he sprang into the water. Then came Tibert the cat whom I received friendly. If he had gone out without my counsel to steal my goats to a priests hows, and the priest said my lord the king, bring the bear stood up with all his retinue and his fellows. Tibert the cat, Isengrym the wolf, Kywart the hare, Panther the boar, the camel and Brunel the ghost, the kid and goat. Boudewyn the ass. Borre the bull, Hamel the ox, and the weasel. Chantecler the cock, Pertelot with all their company. Children made great rumor and noise, and came forth openly before their lord, the king. And there was a parliament, and they demanded that Reynard should be punished and whatever they said against the fox. He answered each one of them. Never had man heard of such beasts, such artful counsels, and subtle enticements from an animal on one side, and on the other, the fox made his excuse so well and eloquently that those who heard and saw it were amazed. I shall summarize the matter and tell you about the fox. The king and council heard the complaints against Reynard's misdeeds. As it often happens, the weakest suffers the most. They passed sentence, and Reynard's new friend and companion, Romed, left the court. The king pondered him and marked how many. A young man departed from then, weeping who were near his kin, and said to himself, \"Good of my lineage, Thybert the Cat said, Sir Brun and Sir Isegrym, why are you so slow? It is almost evening. Here are many bushes where he can be hidden and taken again. Shall we hang him? How do you all stand there, so long before the galley is ready? It will be night. Isegrym thought and said, \"Here is a gibbet or galley. And with that word he sighed, and the Cat espied that and said, \"Isegrym, you are afraid, is it against your will? Do you not think that he himself went and labored so that both your brothers were hanged? If you were good and wise, you should thank him, and you should not therefore tarry so long.\"\n\nIsegrym hesitated and said, \"You make much ado, Sir Thybert. We had a halter which was suitable for his neck and strong enough. We should soon make an end. Reynard the Fox, who had long been silent, said to Isegrym, 'Shorten my pain, Thybert has a strong cord which caught him in the priest's house.' \" when he thought of the priests' genitals, he could come well and was swiftly brought up the line. Isegrym and Brun, this comes well for you that you do this to your new [subject], I am sorry that I live so long, hasten you, you are set there, it is evil that you tarry so long, go forth, Brun commanded anon and bade his kin and friends. That they should see to Reynard, lest he escaped. For he is so cunning and false. They held him by the feet and the beard, and so kept him that he escaped not from them. The fox heard all these words that touched him nearly. Yet spoke he and said, \"Oh dear eme, it seems to me that you inflict pain upon yourselves to do me harm and injury. If I dared, I would ask for mercy from you. Though my hurt and sorrow are pleasing to you, I know well if my aunt, your wife, had thought of it beforehand, she would not have allowed me any harm. But now I am he, whom you will do whatever pleases you, Brun and Thibert. May God give you a shameful death.\" but you do to me your worst / I know what I shall do / I may die but once, I would that I were dead already I saw my father die he had finished / Isengrym said late to us go / for you curse us because we prolong the time / evil may he fare if we abide any longer / he went forth with great envy on one side and Bryn stood on the other side / and so led the way and bore the cord and his throat was yet sore from the green / and his crop gave him pain from the stroke that he was taken in, that happened by the / counsel of the fox / and he thought to quit / Tybalt, Isengrym, and Bryn went hastily with Reinert to the place / there where the felons were accustomed to be put to death / Noble the king and the queen / and all that were in the court followed after to see the end of Reynard / the fox was in great distress if it had been captured / and he often thought / And though those three who so bitterly desired his death how he might deceive them / and bring them to shame / and how he might bring the king. lesyngis ffor to holde wyth hym ayenst hem / This was alle that he studyed / how he myght putte away his so\u2223rowe wyth wylys / And thought / thus though the kyn\u00a6ge and many one be vpon me angry / it is no wonder for- I haue wel deseruid it / neuertheles I hope for to be yet hir best frende / And yet shal I neuer do them good / how strong that the kynge be / and how wyse that his toun\u2223seil be / yf I may brouke my wordes / I knowe so many an inuencion / I shal come to myn aboue / as fer as they wolde comen to the galewes / \ntho saide ysegrym / sir bruyn thynke now on your rede crowne whiche by reynarte mene ye caughte we haue now the tyme that we may wel rewarde hym. / Tybert clyme vp hastyly and bynde the corde faste to the lynde / and make a rydynge knotte or a strope / ye be the lyghtyst / ye shal this day see your wylle of hym\u00b7 Bruyn see wel to that he escape not. and holde faste.

I shal helpe hym wel The foxe sayde now may my heart be heavy with great fear, for I see death before my eyes. I cannot escape; my lord the king and dear queen, and all of you who stand here. Before I depart from this world, I pray you for a bone, so that I may confess openly and clearly to all of you my sins, lest my soul be condemned. Also, may no one hereafter blame me for my theft or my treason. My death shall be easier for me, and I pray all of you to pray to God for mercy on my soul.\n\nAll those who stood there felt pity when Reynart spoke these words, and they said it was a small request if the king would grant it. The king granted it. Reynart was glad and hoped that it might go better for him. I first tasted of the blood, which tasted right good to me. Afterward, I began to taste of the flesh. I was so lustful that after that I went to the privy into the wood. There I slew two of them. After I slew Hennes the Pole and he became so angry that he vowed to me that he was my friend when I heard him renounce allegiance. We promised each other to be true and to use good fellowship, and we began to wander together. He took the greater things and I took the smaller ones, and it came between us in this way: he had the better deal, and I got only half my share. But this was the least of it. When it happened that we took an ox or a cow, his wife came with her seven children, and not one of the smallest ribs could come to me. And yet they had eaten all the flesh of it, and I had to be content with that. For I have such a large retinue and so much silver and gold that seven wains could not carry it away. When the king heard him speak of this. The fox spoke to the queen and said: \"My lord, I will tell you where the riches have gone. They were stolen and, if they had not been stolen, they would have cost you your life and would have brought great harm to the world. When the queen heard this, she was greatly afraid and cried out: 'Reynard, what do you say? I conjure you by the long way that your soul will take, tell us openly the truth about this great murder that was to be done on my lord, so that we may all hear it now. The fox will flatter the king and queen, win their good will and love, and hinder those who labor for his death. He will unbind his pack and lie, bringing forth his matters through flattery and fair words, so that it will be supposed to be the truth.\" The fox spoke to the queen in a sorrowful manner. I am in such a case now that I must die, and had you not so sore conjured me, I would not yield up my soul. If I did, I would go therefore to the pain of hell. I will say nothing but that I will make it right. For pitously he should have been murdered by his own people. Nevertheless, those who were most princed it against me if I now said otherwise than the truth. My death is so near; neither prayer nor good help can save me. The fox trembled by dissimulating as he had been afraid. The queen had pity on him. And prayed the king to have mercy on him, in avoiding of more harm, and that he should do the people hold their peace and give the fox an audience. And here is what he should say: The king commanded each of them to be still, and suffer the fox to speak unhindered. I will tell you openly this treason. And in it I will spare no man that I know to be guilty.\n\nNow listen how the fox began. In the beginning, he called Gisbert his dear cousin. Whoever had helped him in his need, he - Because his words should be believed more, and he might lie better on his enemies, he began thus and said: My lord, my father had discovered King Ermeyks treasure in a pit. And when he had this great good, he was so proud and arrogant that he despised all other beasts that had been his companions before. He made Tybalt the cat go into the wild land of Ardenne to burn the birch for him, and bade him say if he would be king and come to Flanders. Burning-birch was glad of this, for he had long desired it, and went forth into Flanders where my father received him cordially. He immediately sent for the Wise Gambrinus, and for Ysgrim the wolf, and for Tybalt the cat. These five came between Gaunt and the town called Yft, and because of my father's riches, they concluded and swore the king's death.\n\nNow listen and hear this wonder: The four swore upon Ysgrim's crown that they would make Brun a king and a lord / And bring him in the stole at Acon, set the crown on his head / and if any of the king's friends or lineage / would be contrary or against this, / my father with his goodwill and treasure / should drive and take from him his might and power\nIt happened one morning, and said and heth where they both went on a pilgrimage / but she must first keep it no longer led / and as cold as ice / I thought by this a likeness, which here before time befell to the frog's which we free / and complained that they had no lord / nor were they bounden / for a commonwealth without a governor was not good / & they cried to God with a low voice, heard theyr request / for it was reasonable and sent them a staff / which ate and swelled them as many as he could find / he was always unmerciful to them / though they complained of their hurt / but then it was too late / they that were before free and feared no one / are now bound and must obey. They strengthen their king, yet I sorrowed for you, rich and poor, that it might happen to us in the same way. My lord the king, I have had sorrow for you, for which you can thank me but little. I know he brought the bear for such a scoundrel and plunderer. Therefore, I thought if he were king, we should all be destroyed and lost. I know our sovereign lord the king, of such high birth, so mighty, so benevolent and merciful, that I truly believed it would have been a bad change to have a foul, stinking thief and to refuse a noble, mighty, stately lion. For the bear has caused more folly in his ungrateful head and all his ancestors than any other. Therefore, in my good health, I granted him long life. But I thought well, if my father had kept his treasure, he should with his false companions well find the way to depose the king and set a good lay in his place. I waited at all times as near as I could, in woods, in bushes, in fields, where my father laid his eyes, whether by night or by day, cold or warm. Once upon a time. I laid down all flat on the ground & saw my father coming running out of a hole. Now hear what I saw him do when he came out of the hole: he looked around furtively to see if anyone had seen him. When he could no longer see anyone, he filled the hole with sand and made it even and level with the rest of the ground. He didn't know that I had seen it, and where his footprints were, he struck with his tail and masked his tracks and many subtle ones. If any man would come to burn, he would pay them their wages beforehand. My father ran over all the land and carried the letters. He knew little that he had been robbed of his treasure. Though he might have won all the world, he had not found a penny of it.\n\nWhen my father had been far in the land between, the soldier was to come next summer. Help Brown. Though he came again to the bear and his fellows. And told them of the great danger he had faced from the burghers in the land of Saxony, and how the hunters daily rode and hunted him with hounds in such a way that he barely escaped with his life. When he had told this to Bruyn and his men, there were eighteen of the Isegrim lineage, without the bears, the foxes, the cats, and the badgers, all sworn that with the first messenger who should come for them they would be ready and come to help the bear, if they had their wages a month in advance. I heard this, I thank God. After these words, my father went to the hole where his treasure had been laid, and began to grieve greatly, for he found nothing. He found his hole broken and his treasure stolen. There died he, whom I may well mourn and lament for, due to great anger and sorrow he wept and hanged himself. Thus, the treason of Bruyn was carried out by my subtlety. Now see mine. Infortune, these traitors Ysegrim and Bruyn, are now of great counsel to the king, sitting by him on the high bench. I, Reynard, have no thanks or reward. I have buried my own father because the king should have his life. My lord, the fox said, where are those who would destroy themselves to keep you?\n\nThe king and queen hoped to win the treasure without taking counsel. They thought they could do as well as to tell them where this treasure was. Reynard said, how should I tell the king or those who would hang me if I did? I would be out of my wits. The queen then spoke, \"My lord Reynard, the king will let you live, and he will forgive and pardon you. Answer to the queen.\" Lady, if the king believes me and pardons and forgives me all my old transgressions, there was never a king so rich as I will make him because of the treasure I will give him, which is most costly and cannot be numbered. The kynge saide ach dame. wille ye beleue the foxe. sauf your reuerence he is borne to robbe / stele & to lye / this cleuid to his bones & can not be had out of the flessh / the quene saide / nay my lorde ye may now well byleue hym / though he were here to fore felle he is now chau\u0304ged otherwise than he was ye haue wel herde that he hath appechid his fader & the dasse his neuew / whi\u2223che he myght wel haue leyde on other bestes / yf he wold\nhaue ben false / felle / and a lyar / The kynge saide dame wille ye thenne haue it soo / and thynke ye it best to be don / though I supposed it sholde hurte me / I wille take alle thise trespaces of reynart vpon me / and bileue his wordes / But I swere by my crowne / yf he euer here after mys doo and trespace / that shal he dere abye and alle his lignage vnto the .ix\u00b7 degree loked on the kyng stoundmele and was glad in his herte / and saide my lorde / I were not wyse / yf I sholde saye thynge that were not trewe / The kynge toke vp a straw fro the gro\u2223und / And pardoned and The fox forgave all the misdeeds and transgressions of his father and himself, if the fox was merry and glad, it was no wonder, for he was quite dead and free from all his enemies. The fox said, my lord the king and noble queen, God reward you, for this great honor you do to me. I will think and also thank you for it, for there is no one living under the sun that I trust my treasure with more than you both. Then the fox took up a straw and offered it to the king and said, my most dear lord, please receive here the rich treasure that King Hermes had. I give it to you willingly and openly. The king received the straw and threw it merily from him with a joyous face. And then he thanked the fox much. The fox laughed at himself. The king then listened to the counsel of the fox, and all who were there were at his will. My lord said, listen and mark well my words. The west side of Flaundres stands a wood named Hulsterlo. A water called Krekenpit lies nearby. This is such a wondrous place that hardly any man or woman comes there in a year, except those who wish to. Understand well that the place is called Krekenpit, for I advise you for the least hurt, that you and my lady both go there. I know of no one so trustworthy that I dare trust it on your behalf. Go yourself, and when you come to Krekenpit, you shall find there two birch trees standing next to the pit. To those birch trees, go you. The treasure lies underneath, covered in moss on one side. There you shall find many jewels of gold and silver. And there you shall find the crown which King Emeric wore in his days, had his will gone forth. You shall see many a precious jewel with rich stones. set in gold work which cost many a thousand marks / My lord the king, when you now have all this good, how often shall you say in your heart and think, O how true art thou Reynard the fox. With thy subtle wit thou hidest and hoards this great treasure / God give thee good fortune and welfare wherever thou be /\nThe king said, Sir Reynard, thou must come and help us dig up this treasure. I know not the way. I should never find it. I have often been mocked and jeered at, for thy name, Cryppty, is an affected one / These words he spoke with an angry mood, and, displeased, he said to the king, Ye my lord the king, ye are also near, as from Rome to Maye. Do you think I will lead you to Flomme iordain? / Nay, I shall bring you out of your doubts and show it to you by good witnesses / He called loudly for Cunningham the hare. Come here before the king. The beasts all wondered what the king wanted / The fox said to the hare, Cunningham, art thou cold? Why dost thou tremble and quaver there? I charge you by the faith and truth that you owe him and to my lady the queen, as I shall demand of you, \"said Quarrel. I shall speak the truth, though I should lose my neck therefore. I have not charged you so severely if I know it. Then say, do you not know where they were concealed to make their false money, with which he bore himself out and all his fellowship, but that was before I had fellowship with Reynard the hound, who saved me from many a danger, as he could well tell you if he were here. And I never, in my days, transgressed against the king in any other way than I ought to do with right. Reynard said to him, \"go again to that fellowship, you Quarrel. My lord the king desires to know no more about you. The hare returned and went again to the place he came from. The fox said, \"my lord the king, is it true that I said, 'you, Reynard, did evil that I did not believe you?' Reynard said to him, \"friend Pert, find Pittswood, go, but no, it may not be.\" Listen. what I had not enough to eat and grew so weak that I pitied him, for he became slow and sick. Since he was of my kin, I gave him food, so he survived. Therefore, I stand cursed and am under the pope's ban and sentence, which I will face tomorrow at sunrise. I will take my way to Rome to seek pardon and absolution, and from Rome I will cross the sea to the holy land. I will never return until I have done enough good to merit it. With respect, my lord the king, it would be a great reproach to you in whatever land that I accompanied you that men would say you raised and accompanied yourself with a cursed and a sinful person. The king said, \"If you stand cursed in the church's censures, men would impute villainy to my crown if I went with you. I shall then take Quirart or some other to go with me to Cyprus. I counsel you, Reynard, that you put yourself out of this curse, my lord fox.\" Therefore, I will go to Rome as quickly as I may. The king said, \"I shall not rest, night or day, until I am avenged. Reynart spoke, \"I think you are led into a good way. May God grant you success in your desire. As soon as this speaking was done, the king went and stood on a high stone stage, and commanded silence to all the beasts, and that they should sit down in a ring around the grass at his feet. Reynart the aforementioned king's officer, who had done great evil and should have been hanged, has now in this court done so much that I and my queen have granted him grace and friendship. The queen has prayed much for him. In so much that I have pardoned him freely, his life and members. I command you, on your life, to worship Reynart's wife and his children wherever you meet them, day or night. I will also grant him no more.\" complaints of Reynard, if he has previously misdone or transgressed, he will no longer misbehave or transgress, but instead better himself and seek forgiveness for all his sins and journey over the sea to the holy land. He will not return until he brings pardon for all his sins. This tale heard Tisol the raven and Leip to Ysgrim, Bruin, and Tybert, who were there. They said to the captives, \"How goes it now, you unhappy people? You should absolve him completely of all his wrongs and forgive him all his transgressions and misdeeds. And you are all betrayed and captured. Ysgrim said, \"How can this be? I truly believe Tisol lies. I did not certainly say that the raven spoke.\n\nThe wolf and the bear went to King Tybert. The cat was greatly distressed, for he was so angry that he would have willingly forgiven Reynard for the loss of his one eye, which was lost in the priest's house. He was so distressed, he did not know what to do. He had seen the fox.\n\nYsgrim proudly came over the field before the king. The queen thanked him. and the fox, with offensive words towards the hare, spoke in such a way that the king heard it and became angry. The wolf and hare were immediately arrested. You have never seen wood dogs do more harm than was done to them. They were both bound so tightly that they could not move hand or foot that night. They could scarcely move any joint. Now here's what the fox did next. He hated them. He labored so much to the queen that he begged to have as much of the hare's skin on his back as a foot long and a foot wide, to make himself a scroll from it. Then the fox was ready if he had four strong shoes. Now here's how he tried to get these shoes. He said to the queen, \"Lady, I am your pilgrim. Here is my servant, Sir Isegrym, who has four strong shoes that would be good for me. If he would let me have two of them, I would on the way quickly think of your soul. For it is right that a pilgrim should always think and pray for those who do him good.\" Thus you may do it. your soul is good if you will, and if you can get two of your aunt Dame Ereswyn's shoes for me, she can certainly do it, for she goes out but little and always stays at home. Then the queen-reynard said to you, \"you need such shoes well; you may not be without them. They will be good for you to keep your feet whole to pass with them over many a sharp mountain and stony rocks. You cannot find better shoes for you than those that Isengrim and his wife have and wore; they are good and strong, though it should touch their lives, each of them will give you two shoes to accomplish your high pilgrimage.\"\n\nThis false pilgrim obtained these shoes from Isengrim; he did not hesitate, and yet his feet bled. When Isengrim was unshoed, Dame Ereswyn his wife lay down in the grass with a heavy heart. And she lost her hind shoes there. The fox was glad and said to his aunt in scorn, \"My dear aunt, how much sorrow have you suffered for my sake, which I deeply regret, save this.\" I am glad to be the liest of all my kin. Therefore, I will gladly be your shoe god to wreak it. Ysegrim and his fellows, the bereiters, held their peace and were all still, being bound and sore wounded. If Tybert the cat had been there, he too would have suffered somewhat, not escaping then without shame.\n\nThe next day, when the sun rose, Reynard then greased his shoes which he had from Ysegrim and put them on, binding them to his feet. He went to the king and the queen and said to them with a glad cheer, \"Noble lord and lady, God give you a good morrow. I desire of your grace that I may have male and staff blessed and give them to him.\" The ram answered again and said, \"My lord, I dare not do that, for he has said that he is in the pope's curse.\" The king said, \"What of that? Master Giles has said to us, 'If a man had done as many sins as all the world, and he would forsake them, shrive him.'\" Reynard, penance and do as the priest's counsel advises, God will forgive them and be merciful to you. Reyndard will go over the sea into the holy land and make amends for all his sins. Bellyn answered the king, \"I will not do much here, but if you save me harmless in the spiritual court before the bishop and archdeacon, and free Sir Rapand Radde as he thinks fit over Reynard, who little set there by, provided he would let me have the worship thereof. When Bellyn the ram had finished his service devoutly, he hung on the fox's neck a mantle covered with the skin of a bear and a little palster by it. Reynard was ready for his journey. He looked toward the king as if sorrowful to depart and feigned tears. As he had prayed them all to pray for him, the fox thought he tarried, departed, for he knew himself guilty of seeing Reynard in such a personal and paltry manner. on his shoulder and laughed wisely outwardly, but he laughed in his heart that all who had brought him forth had little to forewarn him with. The king, who hated him so much, had made him such a pilgrim of two. My lord the king said, \"The fox, I pray you, return again. I will not that you go any farther with me. You might have harm there. Two more murderers are arrested. You might be hurt by them. I pray God keep you from misfortune.\" With these words, he stood up on his afterfeet and prayed all the beasts, great and small, that would be partners of his pardon, that they should pray for him. They said that they all would remember him. Then he departed from the king heavily, and many of them wept. Then he said to Cuid the hare and to Bellin the ram merrily, \"Dear friends, shall we now depart? You will and God will accompany me farther. You two have never made me angry. You are good to walk with.\" Courteous, friendly. and not complained if you are of good conditions, both spiritually and physically, as I did when I was a recluse. If you have leisure and pleasure, you do not reject bread, flesh, or such kind of food with flattering words. Reynard deceived these two with such flattering words that they went with him until they came before his den. When the fox came to the gate of his den, he said to Bellin the ram, \"You shall remain here without, I and Coyotl will go in. I will ask Coyotle to help me take my leave of Ermeline my wife and to comfort her and my children. Bellin said, \"I pray him to comfort them well,\" with such flattering words. Reynard brought the hare into his hole at an evil hour. There they found Ermeline on the ground with her young ones, who had sorrowed much for fear of Reynard's death. But when she saw him come, she was glad. But when she saw his male and palster, and espied his shoes and said, \"Reynard!\" You were arrested in the court, he said, but the king allowed me to go. By the faith that I owe you, I am very angry with Quart and the gatekeeper. He caught him by the neck, cried \"Help, Bellyn, help!\" Two pigs came, one of whom, Sleeth, had almost bitten his throat in two. He said, \"The pigs were good fat ones.\" The young pups also came. They held a great feast, for Quart had a good fat body. Ermyn held the flesh and drank the blood. She thanked the king often for making them so merry. The fox said, \"Eat as much as you can. He will pay for it if we will.\"\n\nShe said, \"Reynard, I believe you mock me. Tell me the good food of Partridge Wood, woodcock and much other wild game. If you will come with me there, there are sweet wells and fair and clear running brooks. Lord God, how sweet the eyes are there. There we may live in peace and ease and great wealth. But he will not be there.\" Find nothing, though he sought ever/ This shall sore anger him when he knows that I have been deceived/ How many a great lying I had to endure/ before I could escape from him/ It was hard that I escaped from prison/ I was never in greater danger or closer to death/ But however it went/ I shall, by my will, never again come in the king's son's power/ I have now gotten my thumb out of his mouth/ That I thank my cunning.\nDame Ermine said, Reynard, I advise that we go not into another forest/ where we should be strange and alone/ We have here all that we desire/ And you are lord of our neighbors/ Why then should we leave this place/ And expose ourselves to a worse/ We may abide here safely enough/ If the king would do us any harm or besiege us/ Here are so many bypaths and hiding places/ In such a way that we shall escape from him/ In abiding here/ we may not do amiss/ We know all the bypaths over all/ And he must have more help than you have sworn. shalt go oversee and abide there, that is the thing that touches me now. Now Bellin the ram was angry that Kywart heard this. He went out and said softly to Bellin the ram, \"Dear Bellin, why are you angry, Kywart speaks with his dear aunt. I think you ought not to be displeased therefore. He bade me tell you that you might well go first. And he shall come after. He is lighter on foot than you. He must tarry a while with his aunt and her children. They weep and cry out. I thought he cried for help. The fox answered, \"What do you believe, Bellin, that he should have any harm? Now hear what he then did. When we were coming into my house, and Ermyny my wife understood that I should go over sea, she fell down in a swoon. When Kywart saw that, he cried out loudly, \"Bellin, come help!\" My aunt then said, \"In faith, I understood that Kywart had been in great danger. The fox said, \"No, truly, or Kywart would have had any harm in my house. I would rather that\" wife and children should suffer much harm / The fox said, \"Bellin, do you not remember that yesterday the king and his council commanded me that before I departed from this land, I should send two letters to him? I pray you, Cousin, to bear them. They are ready, wrapped. The ram said, \"I never knew if I knew your business and writing were good. If I had known that, you might have been unwelcome. I will give you my son instead. Put the king's letters in him and wear them about your neck. You will have great favor from the king and be warmly welcomed because of this. Here, Bellin promised him to bear the letters. Then Reynard returned to his den and took the son and put Quigmote's head in him and brought it to Bellin to bring him in danger. And Hengist put it on his neck and charged him not to look in the son if he wanted the king's friendship and if you wish the king to take you into his grace and love you, say that you yourself have written and endorsed the letter and have given the council that\" It is so well made and written. You shall have great thanks for it. Bellin the ram was pleased with this and thought he should have great thanks. Reynard said, \"I know well that now you do this for me. I shall be in the court soon. Now go forth and prepare Reynard's lodgings. When he was ready, he asked me if I would bear two letters for you. I said I would gladly come and bring them to you. He brought me this man who was in the letters, which were ended by my hand. I believe you have never seen better or more cleverly made letters. The king commanded Bookart, his secretary, to read the letters at once, for he understood all manner of languages. Tibert the cat and he took the man by Bellyn's neck. Bellin has said and confessed so much that therefore he was condemned.\n\nThe clerk Bookart undid the man and drew out his head. He said, \"Alas, what letters are these?\" Certainly, my lord. \"this is Kywart's head / \"Alas said the king, \"whoever I believe so, the fox / There might men see great sorrow of the king and the queen / The king was so angry that he held his head down for a long time. And at Lupaerd, who was somewhat close to the king, said, \"Sixth king, how do you make such a noise? You mourn enough though the queen were dead / Let this sorrow go / and make good cheer / It is a great shame / Are you not a lord and king of this land? Is it not all under you. That here is / The king said, Sir Firapeel, \"How should I endure this? One false, deceitful fox has betrayed me and brought me so far / That I have wronged and angered my friends / That I, the stout Brun the bear, and Ysegrim the wolf / Who trusted and believed in me so much, the false fox, the fox, and my wife is the cause of it. She prayed to me so much that I heard her prayer and repent, though it be too late.\" / Lupaerd said to the king, \"If there is anything amiss, it shall be.\"' \" amended we shall give to Bryn the bereavement of Ysegrim the wolf, and to Erswyn his wife, for the peace of his skin and for their shoes, to have good peace within the ram, for he has confessed himself that he gave counsel and consent to Kydwardes there, and we shall arrest him and hang him by and therewith.\nThe king said, \"I will do it gladly. Forgive Felch the trespass against you. And therefore you shall have a good appointment and all his lineage from this day forth to Doomsday. In such a way that wherever you find them in field or wood, you may freely bite and eat them without any forfeit. And also the king grants to you, that you may hunt and do the worst that you can to Reynard and all his lineage, without misdoing. This fair great privilege will the king grant to you ever to hold of him. And the king wills that you swear to him never to misdo, but do him homage and fealty. I counsel you to do this, for you may do it honorably. Thus was the peace made by Felch the outlaw, friendly. And that cost Bellyn the ram his tabard and also his life, and the wolf's lineage holds these privileges from the king. In this day, they devour Bellyn's lineage wherever they find them. This dispute began in an evil time, for peace could never be made between them. The king went forth with his court and feasted for twelve days longer to land the wolf. They were so glad of this peace.\n\nTo this great feast came all manner of beasts, for the king proclaimed this feast throughout that land. There was the most joy and merriment ever seen among beasts. They danced merrily with shawm trumpets and all kinds of minstrelsy. The king ordered so much food that each found enough. And there was no beast in all his land so great or so small but it was there. All those who did the king's friendship were there, saving Reynard the fox, the red false pilgrim who lay in wait to do harm. It was not good for him to be there. Meted and drink flowed there. There were plays and revelries. The feast was full of merriment. One might have delight to see such a feast. And right as the feast had lasted for eight days, about midday, the Cony Lapreel appeared before the king where he sat at the table with the queen. He said heavily that all who were there heard him. My lord, Piers the Fox would have done to Renning by Malperdhus he stood before his door like a pilgrim. I supposed I would have passed by him peacefully toward this feast. But he spoke not one word. Instead, he reached out his right foot and dubbed me on the neck between my ears. I had thought I should have lost my life. But thank God, I was so light that I sprang from him. With much pain, I came away from his claws. I had four great holes in my head from his sharp nails. The great wounds he inflicted on me with. this sharp long nails, I pray you have pity on me and that you will punish this false traitor and murderer, or else no one will go and come over the sea safely while he haunts his false and cunning rule. Right as the fox had finished his complaint, came Corbeau the rock flowed in the place before the king and said, \"dear lord, hear me. I bring you a pitiful complaint. I went yesterday by the morrow with Sharpbeak my wife to play upon the sea. And there lay Reynard the fox down on the ground like a dead creature. His eyes stared and his tongue hung long out of his mouth like a hound that had been dead. We tasted and felt his belly but found no life there. Though my wife went and listened and lay down before his mouth to hear if he drew breath, which harmed her evil, the false fox feigned death well and when he saw her so near him, he caught her by the head and bit it off. I was in great sorrow and cried loudly. Alas, what has happened then stood he hastily up and reached out to me so eagerly that I trembled and flew up onto a tree nearby. I saw from afar how the false knight ate and slunk, leaving neither flesh nor bone but a few feathers. The small feathers he swallowed with the flesh. He was so hungry, he would have gladly eaten two. Then he went his way. I flew down with great sorrow and gathered up the feathers to show them to you. I would not be against such pitiful and fearful circumstances as I was there for a thousand marks of the finest gold that ever came out of Arabia. My lord, see this pitiful work. These are the feathers of Sharpbeak, my wife. My lord, if you wish to have my service, you must do justice and avenge yourself in such a way that men may fear and hold you in awe. For if you allow your safe-conduct to be broken, you yourself shall not go peacefully on the high way. Lords who do not do justice and avenge will not go peacefully in the high way. I suffer that the law not be executed against them for all their misdeeds and transgressions.\nThe noble king was greatly moved and angry when he heard these complaints of the fox and the roe. He was so fearful to look upon it that his eyes gleamed like fire. He brayed as low as a bull and I issued the commandment. I was overly trusting that I believed so lightly the false rogue's words. He told me he would go to Rome and then over the sea to the holy land. I gave him mantle and staff and made him a pilgrim, intending all truth. O what false touches can he have? How can he stuff the sleeve with fleeces? But this was all due to my wife's counsel. It was not the first time that I have been deceived by women's counsel, by which many great harms have befallen. I pray and command all those who hold allegiance to me and desire my friendship, whether they be here or wherever they may be, to help me in averting this overgearing trespass, that we and our possessions may endure. In honor and worship, and this false thief no longer dares trespass against our safeguard. I will help in my person all that I may. Ysegrim the wolf and Brun the bear heard the king's words well, and hoped to avenge myself on Reynard the fox. But they dared not speak a word. The king was so enraged that none dared speak. At last the queen spoke, \"Sir, do not believe everything they tell you, and do not swear lightly until you know the matter clearly. And also, I ought by right to have the other party speak.\" There are many who complain about others while being at fault themselves. Listen to the other party. I have truly held the fox for good, and upon that, I believed he meant no deceit. I helped him as much as I could. But whether he is evil or good, I think, for your honor, that you should not proceed against him hastily unless you know the truth. good and honest/for he may not escape from you/You may imprison him or flee him/he must obey your judgment/then said Friar the lord/My lord, I think/my lady here has spoken truth to you and given you good counsel/do well and follow her and take advice from your wise counsel/And if he is found guilty in the trespasses that are now shown to you/let him be severely punished according to his trespasses/And if he does not come here/end and excuse himself/as he ought of right to do/then do as the lord, the king/it cannot be better. But though Reynard were now here. and he cleared himself of double the number of plainshold I bring forth against him that he had forfeited yet above all this he lying in cravenly a greater lying. said not a true word. Now robs and steals upon the heath/Nevertheless, Sir Fian will make them ready for the war at the end of five days/all those who are archers and have. ue Bowes/Gonnes: bombard horsemen and footmen who are ready to besiege Malperduis. I shall destroy Reynard the fox if I am making a decision. You, lords and sires, what do you say here? Will you do this with good will? And they said and cried all, \"Yes, lord, when you will, we shall all go with you.\"\n\nGrimbert the dasse (brother of the speaker) heard all these words. He was sorry and angry if it could have profited him, he ran then the high way to Malperduis ward. He spared neither bush nor hawthorn but hurried so much that he sweated. He was sorry for Reynard, his red brother, in himself, and as he went, he said to himself, \"Alas, in what danger come you/ Where shall you become? Shall I see you brought from life to death? Or else exiled from the land?\" Truly, I may be well sorrowful, for you are the head of all our lineage. You are wise in counsel. You are ready to help your friends when they have need. You can so well show your reasons that wherever you speak, you win all. Gisberto came to Malperduis in such a wily and pesky manner, and found Reynard standing there. He had obtained two pigeons, the first ones to leave their nest to test if they could fly, and because their wings' feathers were too short, they fell to the ground. Reynard was going out to seek his food when he saw them and caught them. He came home with them. When he saw Gisberto coming, he stayed and said, \"Welcome, my dearest new acquaintance that I know in all my kin, you have come fast, you are all well, have you any new tidings? Alas, I live, it goes badly with you; you have lost both life and good fortune. The king has sworn that he will give you a shameful death. He has summoned all his people within three days: archers, footmen, horsemen, and commoners. He has given orders for paupers and also had torches prepared. Look ahead, for you will need them. Ysegrim and Brun are better off with the king than I am with you. All who will [be] it is done. Isegrim has understood that you are a thief and a murderer. Lapreel the cony and Corbant the rook have made a great complaint as well. I am deeply sorry for your life. Therefore, I am ill with fear. Puf said, \"There is nothing new here. Be not so afraid of this. Make good cheer hardly, though the king himself and all who are in court have sworn to my death and my wiles and subtleness. These things have not passed and come to anything yet. She should take it heavily. She might for fear fall into some sickness. A little thing goes heavily to her heart. And tomorrow early I will go with you to the court. And if I may come to speak and be heard, I shall answer in such a way that I shall touch upon something near you. New will not you stand by me as a friend ought to do to another. Yes, truly, Grymbert and all my good is at your commandment. God take you New.\" The fox spoke. \"If I may live, I will make amends to you. Em\u00e9 said, \"Grymbert, you may come before all the lords and excuse yourself. No one will testify against you or detain you as long as you remain in your words.\" The queen and the lord have departed,\" the fox continued. \"Therefore, I am glad. I care not for the best of them here. I will save myself. They spoke no more of this, but went forth into the town. Ermynyng found them sitting there, the ugly ones who rose up and welcomed them warmly. Grymbert greeted his aunt and the children with friendly words. The two pigeons were prepared for their supper, which Reynard had taken. Each took his share as far as it would stretch. If each had had one more, little would have been left over. The fox said, \"Live now, my children Rosel and Reynardin. They began to do well, one catching a chicken and the other a pullet.\" The fox also dukes in the water after lapwynches and dokys. I would often send them for provisions. But I will first teach them how they shall keep us well supplied with various dishes that we now lack. And they like and follow me well. For they play grimming and where they hate they look friendly and merrily, for there they bring them under their feet and bite the throat aside. This is the nature of the fox. They are swift in their taking, which pleases me well.\n\nEmes said, Grymbert, you may be glad that you have such wise children. And I am glad of them too, because they are of my kin.\n\nGrymbert said, the fox, you have sweet ones and beware, it is high time that you were at your rest. Emes, if it pleases you, I think it good. Lay them down on a smaller bed of straw. The fox, his wife, and children all went to sleep. But the fox was all heavy and lay sighing & sorrowing, pondering how he might best excuse himself.\n\nOn the morrow early, he deserted his castle and went with Grymbert. He took leave first of Dame Ermyn his wife and of his children, and said, \"Think not long, I must go to the court with Grymbert, my cousin. If you hear any ill tidings, take it always for the best. And see well to yourself and keep our castle well. I shall do my best thereafter, depending on how it goes. Alas, Reyner said she, how have you now taken upon yourself to go to the court again? The last time that you were there, you were in great jeopardy of your life. And you said you would never come there again. Dame said, \"The world's events are wonderful. Many one thinks to have a thing which he must forgo. I must needs go there now, be content, it is all without fear. I hope to come back at the latest within five days again.\" Herewith he departed and went with Grymbert to the court ward. And when they were upon the heath, then Reyner said, \"Never since I was last shriven, I have done many shrewd turns. I would.\" You made the bear have a great wound for the man who was cut out of its skin, and I also made the wolf and his wife lose their shoes. I pacified the king with great lies and swore to him that the wolf and the bear would have betrayed him and intended to kill him. I made the king very angry with them, although they did not deserve it. I also told the king that there was great treasure in Hulsterville, which he was never the better or richer for, because I lied about it. I led Belin the ram and killed Kywart the hare with me and sent Belin's head to the king as a sign of disrespect. I injured the cony between its ears, almost taking its life from it, for it escaped against my will. It was of great deceit that I did what I am now telling you. I came with the wolf walking by and elsewhere. There we saw a red mare. And she had a black colt or a fool of uncertain origin. Isegrium was nearly starving when he begged me to go to the mare. He said if she would sell her fool, I should go and see and read it if I could. I ran quickly to the mare and asked if she would sell it for money. She said it was written in her hand, \"If you are a clerk and can read, come and see and read it.\" I knew where she would be and said I couldn't read and didn't want to buy her child. Isegrium had sent me there to find out the price. The mare said, \"Let him come then and I will tell him.\" I said I would, and hurried to Isegrium, telling him, \"Will you eat your belly full of this colt? Hurry to the mare, she is delaying after you. She wants me to read the price for her, but I can't read a single letter, which I deeply regret as I never went to school.\" Isegrium wanted to buy the colt, but I couldn't read the price. I have read so may you buy it. I new that I could well what should me let. I can read French, Latin, English, and Dutch. I have gone to school at Oxford. I have also been in the audience of old and ancient doctors and heard pleas. I am licensed in both laws. What manner of writing that any man can devise, I can read it as perfectly as my name. I will go to her and shall soon understand the price. He bade me tarry for him. He ran to the mare and asked of her how she would sell her foal or keep it. She said the sand she struck him without missing on his head that he fell down as if he had been dead. A man should well have ridden a mile before he arose. The mare trotted away with her colt. Iggy lay and bled, and howled like a hound. I went to him and said, \"Sir Iggy, dear eme, how is it now with you? Have you eaten yet? Is your belly full? Why give me no part? I did your errand. Have you slept your dinner? I pray.\" You tell me what was written under the mare's foot. Prose or rhyme. Metre or verse. I would like to know it. I think it was a canticle. For I have heard you sing it from far. For you were so wise that no man could read it better than you.\n\nAlas, Reynard, alas, said the wolf. I pray you to leave your mocking. I am so foul arrayed & sore hurt. That a heart of stone might have pity on me.\n\nThe hore with her long leg had an iron foot. I suppose the nails thereof had been letters. She struck me at the first stroke with six. Great wounds in me that almost it is closed. Such manner of letters shall I never desire to read more.\n\nThere is that truth which you tell me. I have great marvel from it. He who unneth byheld his life. Live new now, have I told you all my sins that I remember. Whatsoever falls at the court. I know not how it shall stand with me there. I am not now so afraid. For I am clear from sin.\n\nI will gladly come to mercy & receive penance by your counsel. Gisbert said. the trespasses are great / neverless, he who commits a deed must abide by it. Therefore, I will forgive it to you, along with the fear that you will suffer because of it. But the most hindrances that you will have will be those that you sent a quarter's head to the court and blinded the king with subtle lies. Em, that was right evil, said the fox. What life remains, who will go through the world to hear this and see that, and tell that? Truly, it may not be clearly done. How should any man handle honey but if he licks his fingers? I am often troubled and pricked in my conscience as to love God above all things and my even Christian as myself. As it is well acceptable to God and according to his law, but how do you think that reason within fights against the outward will? I, in turn, remain entirely in myself, thinking I have lost all my wits, and hate all things that are not good, and come in. I have contemplated my commands, but this special grace I have when I am alone. But in a short while, after the world comes into me, I find myself in my way so many stones and the feet of these loose prelates and rich priests tread on them. I am immediately taken again. Then comes the world and wants this from me, and the flesh will live pleasantly, which lies before me with many things that I then lose all my good thoughts and purposes. I hear them sing pipes, laugh, play, and all mirth there. And I hear that these prelates and rich curates preach and say all other ways than they think and do. There I learn to lie. The lies are most used in the lords' courts certainly, lords, ladies, priests, and clerks make the most lies. Men dare not tell the truth to the lords now. There is a defect. I must flatter and lie also, or else I would be shut out without the door. I have often heard men say truth and rightfully, and their reasons made with a lying tongue. They brought it to its purpose and led it through, as their mother should seem fairer. The lying often comes unexpectedly and falls unwittingly into the matter. When she is well dressed, it goes forth with the other.\n\nNow men must lie here and there, speaking the truth flatly, and threatening, praying, and cursing. Whoever else intends to haunt and use the woe, and believes they also lie, and take it upon themselves to tell it, he would gladly eat of the choice morsels. But he is not believed or heard, and many are there who are so plump and foolish that when they believe they are best to pronounce and show their matter and conclude, they fall aside and out of it. They cannot then help themselves and leave their matter without a tail or head, and he is counted a fool. Many mock them therewith, but who can give a conclusion to his lying and pronounce it without delay, as if it were written to him, and he can so? Blind the people, so that my lying shall be believed more than the truth that is the man. What skill is it to say the truth that is good to do? How laugh at these false, subtle shrews who give counsel to make these lies and set them forth, and make wrong go above right, and make bills, and set in things that never were thought or said, and teach men to see through their fingers? And all for the sake of winning money, and let their tongues hire to maintain and strengthen their lies. Alas, this is an evil skill, from which life, harm, and injury may come. I do not say but that other times men must joke, boast, and lie in small matters; for he who always says the truth may not now go through the world. There are many who play the part of placebo. He who always tells the truth will find many obstacles in his way. Men may well lie when it is necessary, and afterwards amend it by counsel, for all transgressions, there is mercy. There is no man so wise, but he deceives others at times. Grymbert said directly, \"What thing shall I let you do? You know all things most recently. You should bring me hastily to your reasons, passing my understanding. What need have you to shrink? You should yourself, by right, be the priest. And let me and other sheep come to you for confession. You know the state of the world in such a way that no man may withstand you. With such manner of speaking they came walking into the court. The fox sorrowed somewhat in his heart. Nevertheless, he bore it out and struck through all the people until he came to the place where the king was. And Grymbert was always by the fox's side, saying, \"Fear not, I, and make good cheer. Who is hardy enough, and others numbering afterward. And some were there who loved him. The fox came in and fell down on his knees before the king and began his words and said,\n\n\"God from whom nothing may be hidden, and above all things is mighty, save my lord the king and my lady the queen, and grant him grace to\" I know who has right and who has wronged / For there are many in the world who seem otherwise outward than they are within / I would that God would show openly every man's misdeeds / and all their transgressions stood written in their foreheads / and it costs me more than I now say / And my lord the king, know as much as I do / how I dispose myself both early and late in your service / Therefore I am complained of by the evil-speaking ones and, with false accusations, am put out of your grace and favor, and would charge me with these great offenses without deserving it again / Wherefore I cry out alas on those who falsely have lied about me / and brought me into such trouble / howbeit I hope and know, my lord and my lady, that you are both so wise and discreet / that you are not led nor believe such lies or false tales out of the right way / Therefore, my lord, I beseech you to consider by your wisdom all things according to right and law / Is it indeed or in speech / does every man I desire no better one who is guilty and speaks so boldly / All those in the palaces were amazed and wondered that the fox spoke so boldly. The king said, / hanged by your neck / I will not be very angry with you, but I will shorten your suffering / you have well shown your deceit towards the fox and Corbant the rock / your falsehoods and false inducements will not long tarry in making you die / A pot may go so long to the water that at last it comes to a broken home / I think your pot that has deceived us so often will now hastily be broken / Reynard was greatly afraid of these words. He would have been at Cologne when he came there. Then he thought, I must get through this, how I do my lord the king said, it is well reasoned that you heard all my words out / though I am damned to death, yet you ought to hear my words out. I have given you good counsel and profitable advice before this, and in need I have always been. I cannot come to my excuse if I should not explain, but I have previously stated that I should be heard before another. Old good deeds ought to be remembered. I see here many of my lineage and friends. Truest servant that you have in all your lands, what think you, sir king? Had I known I would have come here to the law among all my enemies. No, not for all the red gold in the world. For I was free and at large. What need had I to do that? But God be thanked, I know myself clear of all my sins that I dare come openly in the light and answer to all the complainants that any man can say against me. But when Grmbert brought me these tidings, I was not well pleased with myself that I leaped here and there like an unwise man. And had I not been in the censures of the church, I would without delay have come. But I went dawdling on the heath and did not know what to do. And then it happened that Mertyn, my dear friend, met me while I was in great sorrow and sadness. He is wiser in clergy than some priests. He has been an advocate for the bishop of Cambridgese for nine years. He saw me in this great sorrow and sadness and said to me, \"Cousin, it seems to me that you are not well with yourself. What ails you? From whom have you been displeased? A friend should be informed of any troubles. A true friend is a great help. He often finds better counsel than the one who bears the burden. For whoever is charged with matters is so heavy and burdened by them that often he cannot begin to find the remedy; for such are so woe-like as if they had lost their wits. I said, \"Dear friend, you speak the truth. For the same has happened to me. I have been brought into great sorrow and misfortune, not deserving it, by one to whom I have always been a hearty and great friend. This cony came to me yesterday during my morning hours, while I was saying my matins, and told me he would...\" Go to the court and sold myself friendly, and he treated me likewise. He said to me, \"Good Reynard, I am hungry and very weary. Have you any food?\" I replied, \"Come near, friend.\" I gave him a morsel of minced meat with sweet butter. It was on a Wednesday, a day on which I am not accustomed to eat flesh. I had also fasted due to the approaching feast of Whitsunday, for whoever wishes to partake of the highest wisdom and live spiritually, must fast and prepare himself for the high feasts. \"And you, be merry with sweet butter,\" he said, \"with which a man might easily satisfy himself if he were very hungry.\"\n\nWhen he had filled his belly, Russell, my youngest son, came, and he wanted to take what was left. Young children always wish to eat. And with that, he reached out to take something. The cony struck Russell in the mouth, causing his teeth to bleed, and fell down half-conscious. When Reynard, my eldest son, saw this, he leapt at the cony and caught him. and should have slain him. Had I not restrained him, I helped him to depart from him, and I bitterly punished my child therefore. Lapreel the conjuror ran to my lord the king and said, \"I would have murdered him.\"\nSee me thus come I in the words, and I am laid in the blame. And yet he complains and I do not reproach him. After this came Corbant the rock flying with a sorrowful noise. I asked what he meant. And he said, \"Alas, my wife is dead.\" Yonder lies a dead hare full of mats and worms. & there she ate so much of it that the worms had bitten through both her throats. I asked him how this came about. He would not speak another word but fled his way. And left me standing there. Now he says that I have bitten and slain her. How should I come so near her, for she flees, and I go a foot. Behold there, me thus am I born unfortunate. I may well say that I am unhappy. But perhaps it is for my old sins. It would be good for me if I could patiently endure it. The ape said to me, \"New you shall go to the court before the lords and\" I'm sorry for any misunderstanding, but the text provided appears to be in Old English, and I cannot clean it without first translating it into modern English. Here is the translation:\n\n\"excuse me / alas, this may not be. For the archdeacon has put me under the pope's curse / because I advised Ysegrym the Wolf to leave his religion at Elmere and forsake his habit. He complained to me that he lived so strictly, with long fasting and many things reading and singing, that he could not endure it. If he had stayed there, he would have died. I pitied his complaining / And I helped him as a true friend that he might leave. Which now deeply regrets me. For he labors all he can against me to the king for my hanging. Thus he does evil for good. See me thus, I am at the end of all my wits and counsel. For I must go to Rome for an absolution. And then my wife and children will suffer much harm and blame. For these evil creatures that hate me / shall do to them all the harm they may / and destroy them where they can / And I would gladly defend them if I were free of the curse / for then I would go to court and excuse myself / where now I dare not / I would commit a great sin if\"\n\nTherefore, the cleaned text is:\n\n\"For the archdeacon has put me under the pope's curse because I advised Ysegrym the Wolf to leave his religion and habits. He complained of living too strictly with long fasting and much reading and singing, and would have died if he had stayed. I pitied him and helped him leave, but now he is working against me to have me hanged by the king. This is evil for good. I am at the end of my wits and counsel, and must go to Rome for absolution, but my wife and children will suffer harm and blame. Evil creatures that hate me will do them all the harm they can and destroy them where they can.

Nay, cousin, be not averse to me suffering in this sorrow. I understand the way to come well. I am called there Mertyn, the bishop's clerk. And I am well known there. I shall sit as archdeacon and bring a plea against him. And I shall bring with me for you an absolution against his will, for I know that all that is to be done or left there dwells there, Simon Myneme, who is great and mighty there. Whoever can give anything, he helps him immediately. There is a prompt way, wait, and other friends of mine also. I shall take some money with me.\n\nCousin, make good cheer. I shall not rest after tomorrow until I come to Rome. I shall solicit you and my three children and many more of our lineage. Dear cousin speaks hardly to them. My wife is separately wise and will gladly do something for her friends. Whoever has need of help shall find great friendship from her. One should always seek friends, though he has angered them. for the blood to stop flowing / where it cannot go, and if you are so overcharged that you may have no right, then send to me night and day to the court of Rome, and let me know of it, and all those in the land, be they king or queen, wife or man, I will bring them all under the pope's curse, and issue an indictment that no one shall read or sing or christen children, nor bury the dead nor receive the sacrament until you have good right. Cousin, I will easily obtain this, for the pope is so old that he is of little consequence, and the cardinal of pure gold has all the power of the court. He is young and has many friends. He has a concubine whom he loves greatly, and whatever she desires, she obtains immediately. Cousin, I tell you, my lord the king will not warn you, for the right is mine. he is sufficient for every man, my lord the king, when I heard this I laughed, and with great gladness came he there and told you all the truth. If there is any man in this court who can lie on me on any other matter with good witnesses and prove it as it should be to a nobleman, let him make amends according to the law, and if he will not leave off from her, then set me day and field, and I shall make good on him also, far as he is of as good birth as I am and to me like. And whoever can win the worship of the field with fighting, let him have it. This right has stood thus far. And I will not let it be broken by me. The law and right do no wrong. All the beasts, both poor and rich, were still when the fox spoke so boldly. The coney Laprel and the weasel were so afraid that they dared not speak or strike them both out of the court. And when they were far from the play, they said nothing. God grant that this felon murderer may fare evil. He can cover and conceal his falsehood. That his words. \"seem as true as the gospel reports no man knows this better than we. How shall we bring witness? It is beheld, Sir Isegrim the wolf and burn the bear, woe is in our hands we shall hear him- yesterday comes Lord, there are many who complain that if they saw their adversary they would be still and make no complaint. Witness now of Laprel the fox and Corbant the weak, who have complained on my behalf, it would do much harm and hurt to the good men. As for me, it concerns me not. Nevertheless, my lord, if they had asked for forgiveness by your commandment, although they have greatly transgressed, I would have pardoned and forgiven them for your sake, for I will not be out of charity nor hate nor complain on my enemies, but I set all things in God's hand, He shall work and avenge it as it pleases Him.\nThe king said, Reynard, I think you are more boastful than you say, are you within as you seem without? Nay, it is not so clear nor open anywhere near as you have shown here, I must confess what my grief is,\". which touches your worship and life, that is to say, that you have committed a foul and shameful transgression, when I had pardoned you all your offenses and trespasses, and you promised to go over the sea on pilgrimage, and gave me the staff and scrip, and after this you sent me back by Belin the name, and there Quartz heard it. How unjustly you do a more reprehensible transgression, how were you so bold to do such a shame to me, is it not enough to send a lord's servant his head? You cannot say no here against Belin the ram, who told us all the matter, the same reward you shall have or rightly shall fail. Reynard was sore afraid and knew not what to say, he was at his wits' end, and looked about him pitifully, and saw many of his kin and allies who heard all this but said nothing. He was pale in his face but offered me neither hand nor foot to help him. The king said, you subtle fellow and traitor. The fox stands silent now,/ The fox stood in great fear and sighed, which all heard him,/ But the wolf and the bear were glad because of it. Damon, Reynard's aunt, was not pleased with her,/ She was great with the queen and well beloved,/ It went well for the fox that she was there. For she understood all wisdom,/ And she dared to speak, wherever it was necessary,/ Wherever she came, the rich were glad of her,/ she said, \"My lord the king, you ought not to be angry when you sit in judgment,/ For that does not become your nobility. A man who sits in judgment ought to put aside all wrath and anger,/ A lofty seat in justice in the pope's palace bedchamber,/ where other beasts and birds in his days he should the better have patience and pity on Reynard,/ Late every man know himself,/ That is my counsel,/ there is none who stands so surely, but otherwise he falls or slides,/ Whoever never misdeed nor sinned, is holy and good and has no need to amend himself,/ when a. A man does amend his actions, and then by counsel amends it, that is humanly, and so he should do, but always to amend his own and not another's, that is evil and a deceitful life. Mark what is written in the Gospel: Be ye merciful, yet show mercy; do not judge, and you will not be judged. There is also the story of how the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery and wanted to stone her to death. They asked our Lord what he said about it. He said, \"Which one of you is without sin? Let him cast the first stone.\" No one remained, but she was left standing there.\n\nThere are many who see a straw in another's eye but cannot see a beam in their own. There are many who judge others and themselves are worse. Though one falls often and at last arises and comes to mercy, he is not damned. God receives all those who desire his mercy. Late or early, no one condemns another, though they knew that he had. don Amys/ yet they see their own defects / and then may they correct themselves first / and then Reynard my cousin should not fare worse for his father and grandfather / they have always been in more love and reputation in this court than Isgrym the wolf or Brun the bear with all their friends and lineage / it has been unlikely comparison / the wisdom of Reynard my cousin / and the honor and worship he has done and the counsel of them / for they do not know how the world goes / this court is all torn up so / These false shrews, flattering true and wise, are put down / For they have been accustomed to counsel truly and for the king's honor, I cannot see how this can last / Then the queen spoke, \"if he had done such treachery to you as he has done to others, it would repent him. Is it a wonder that I hate him? He always breaks my safeguard. Speak to the lords. However the world tears apart. I ought not to praise the day too much. Even be.\" A man and a serpent came to this court two years ago for judgment. The matter was doubtful between them. The serpent had gotten into a snare around its neck and couldn't escape without help, or it would have died. The man went free and the serpent called out to him, begging for help. If the man promised not to harm or hurt him, he would help. The serpent was ready and swore a great oath that it would never harm or hurt him. Then the man released it and freed it from the snare. The serpent went away for a while, but later returned and tried to kill the man. The man. The serpent replied, \"I may do it good, before all the world, that I do. The need of hunger may cause a man to break his oath. The man said, \"If it may be not better, give me so long respite till we meet and find one who can judge the matter by right. The serpent granted this. They went on until they found Thyselius the raven, and Slindere his son. They rehearsed their reasons. Thyselius the raven judged at once that he should eat the man. He would fain have eaten his part and his son also. The serpent said to the man, \"How is it now? What think you have I not won? The man said, \"How should a robber judge this? He should have a value thereby, & also he is alone. There must be two or three at least to judge and understand the right and law and that done. I am judged that the serpent should\" The man, for the need of hunger, broke both always. The man was then in great doubt and fear. And the serpent came and cast its venom at him. But the man leapt away from him with great pain. And said, \"You do great wrong that you lie in wait to kill me. You have no right to do so.\" The serpent said the man was one of those who were bewitched to murder and promised the lord the king. And that I shall obey and suffer. And they, the bear and the wolf, said it should be so. And that the serpent desired no better. They supposed if it should come before you, it would go there as they wished. I believe you are well reminded of this. They all came to the court before you. And the wolves two children came with their father. Which were called Empty Belly and Never Full, because they would eat of the man. For they howled for great hunger. Therefore you commanded them to avoid your court. The man stood in great fear. And called upon your grace, relating how the serpent had attempted to take his life from him, to whom he had granted his life and that, above his oath and promise, he would have consumed him. The serpent responded, \"I have not transgressed.\" And I report it to the king, for I did it to save my life. For need of life, one may break an oath and promise. My lord, at that time were you and all your council here. Your noble grace saw the great sorrow of the man, and you would not have him judged to death for his gentleness and kindness. And on another occasion, hunger and need sought narrowly to be helped. There was none in the entire court who knew the truth. Some wished that the man had been helped. I see them standing there, I well know they said they could not end this matter. Then you commanded Reynard the new to come and speak his advice and hear it in the court. And you ordered him to give sentence according to what was best. Right, and we shall all follow him, for he knew the ground of the law. Reynard said, \"My lord, it is not possible to give a true sentence after their words, for in their saying are often lies. But if I could see the serpent in the same place and in need as he was when the man loosed him and unbound him, then Wishe would say, 'And he who would do otherwise should misdo right.' Then Reynard said, \"My lord Reynard, that is well said, we all agree. And the serpent was set in the snare in the same way as he was. It was done. Then Reynard's lord asked, \"Reynart, what do you think now? What judgment shall we give?\" Then Reynart said, \"The woman or the hundred by the serpent, or for need of hunger would break his oath and promise.\" I judge that the man may go freely where he will, and let the serpent remain still, as he might have done at the beginning, for he would have broken his oath and promise where he was. Help him out of such peril; I believe it is a rightful judgment that the man should have his free choices, as he had before. My lord, this judgment seemed good to you and all your council who were present at that time, and followed the same. I prayed for Reynard's wisdom that he had made the man quit and free. Thus, the fox wisely kept your noble honor and worship, as a true servant is bound to do to his lord. Where has the bear or the wolf ever done so much worship to you? They know well how to hide and blow their horns and rob. And then I judge they for right and law that small thieves who steal hens and chickens should be hanged. But they themselves who steal cows and horses, they shall go quit and be lords. And they seem as though they were wiser than Solomon, Aesop, or Aristotle. Each one will be proud and praised for great deeds and hardy. But when it comes to doing, they are the first to flee. must the simple go forth and lead the way / They keep the reward behind / Och my lord, these and others like them are not wise / but they destroy towns, castles, land, and people. They rejoice not whose houses burn, so that they may warm themselves by the coals. They seek all their own profit and self-interest / But Reynard the fox and all his friends and kin mourn and think to prefer the honor, worship, and profit of their lord. And for wise counsel, which often profits more here than pride and boasting / This is Reynard / though he has no thanks / At length it shall be well known / who is best and does most profit / My lord, you say / that his kin and lineage draw all after him / and stand not by him / for his deceit and cunning and subtle touches / I would that another had said / that such vengeance should be taken against him / that he might ever growl when he saw him / But my lord, we will forbear you / you may say your pleasure / and I also say it not by compulsion. A woman spoke: \"Were there any who would stir up anything against you with words or deeds, him I would do the same to, he who would claim we were not there. In fighting, we are not accustomed to be afraid. By your leave, I may reveal to you the friends and kin of Reynard. There are many who, for his sake and love, would risk life and good. I am one. I am a wife. I would have given my life and good, had he needed it for him. I have three children: the first is named Bitluys, who is much cherished and can make much sport and game. He is given the fat trenchers and much other good food, which suits him well. And my third child is a daughter named Hatenette, who can well pick out lice and nettles from men's heads. These three are true to each other, which is why I love them well. Dame Rukenaw called them forth and said,\" welcome my dear children, come forth and stand by Reynard, your dear newcomers. Then she said, \"Come forth all ye that are of my kin and Reynard's, and let us pray the king that he will do right by Reynard regarding the land.\" Two came forth: the boar and the fire. They ate as happily with Reynard as Reynard did. The other and Pantagruel's wife, whom I had almost forgotten, were also there beforehand with the beaver, the otter, Hermelin the ass, the Water Rat, and many more, numbering about forty, who all came and stood by Reynard the fox.\n\nMy lord the king said, \"Rukenanwe, come and see if Reynart has any friends.\" Here you may see, we are your true subjects who would avenge both of you.\n\n(Note: This text appears to be in Middle English. No significant OCR errors were detected.) If you had need, even if you were hardy, mighty, and strong, our willingly granted friendship cannot harm you. Reynard the fox considers these matters that you have laid against him, and if he cannot excuse himself, then we desire no better. This is only right and should not be warned to anyone. The queen then spoke. I told him this yesterday, but he was so fiery and angry that he would not listen. The lord also said, \"Sir, you may not judge further than your men give their verdict. For if you would go forth by will and might, that would not be seemly for your estate here, for both parties and accordingly to the best right.\" The king said, \"This is all true. But I was so moved when I was informed of Quigart's death and saw his head. That made me hot and hasty. I will hear Reynard. Can he answer and excuse himself for what is laid against him? I will gladly let him go free. And also at the request of his good friends and kin.\" Reynard was glad of these words. Though God thank you, my aunt. She has revived her spirit and bloomed again. She has greatly helped me now. I have a good foot to dance on now. I shall now look out of my eyes and bring forth the fairest tales that ever were heard. I shall bring myself out of this danger.\n\nThen spoke Reynard the fox and said, \"Alas, what do you say, Kytwart? And where is Belen the ram? What brought him back to you? I delivered three jewels to him. I would like to know where they have come from. One of them you should have given to my lord the king, and the other two to my lady the queen. The king said, Belen brought us nothing else but Kytwart's head, just as I told you before. I took revenge on him for that. The cunning fox said to me that he himself was a part of the council making the letters that were in the malefactor's pouch. Alas, my lord, is this very truth? Woe to me, Kytwart, that ever I was born since these good jewels have been thus lost. My heart will break for it. I am sorry that I now live, my wife will be distraught when she hears of this, she will make much sorrow when she hears the news. Reynard the Fox asked, what profit is there in making all this sorrow, tell us what these jewels were. We shall find counsel to have them again if they are above earth. Master Akeryn will labor for them in his books, and we shall curse for them in all churches until we know where they have been. They will not be lost. Do not think otherwise, for those who have them will not easily part from them. There was never a king who gave so rich jewels as these are. Yet, your words have eased my heart and made it lighter than it was. Alas, here you may see how he or they to whom a man trusts most are often deceived. Though I should go all the world. Through my life in adventure, therefore, I shall write where these jewels have become. With a disputed and sorrowful speech, the founder then said, \"Therefore, you may say that I have suffered great loss. One of them was a ring of fine gold. Inside the ring were letters enameled with sable and ashes, and there were three Hebrew names therein. I could not read or spell them myself, for I did not understand that language. But master A-: He does not believe in God. He is a Jew. The wisest in dealing and especially he knows the virtue of stones. I once showed him this ring; he said that these were the three names that Seth brought out of paradise when he brought to his father Adam the oil of mercy. Whoever bears these three names on him, he shall never be hurt by thunder or lightning, nor tempted to sin. And also, he shall never be unknown to storms or frost, no matter how severe.\" Witness of Master Abrion. Without further comment on the ring stood a stone of three. The one part was like red crystal and shone like fire was within, providing as great a light as it had been midday. The other part was white and clear, as if burned. Anyone with a smart or sore eye, or a sweltering body, or a headache, or any sickness outside, if he stared at it and then drank it, would be instantly healed. Alas, said the fox, we have good reason to be sorry to lose such a jewel. Furthermore, the third color was green, like glass, but there were some specks of purple in it. The master truthfully told that whoever bore this stone upon him would never be harmed by his enemy, and that no man, however strong and bold, could harm him. In battle, he would have victory, whether by night or by day. Somewhere, whoever he went and in what company he should be bought, even if they had hated him before, if he had the ring on him, they would forget their anger as soon as they saw him. Naked in a field against a hundred armed men, he would be well received and escape with respect. But he must be a noble gentleman, without base conditions; for then the stone had no power. I found this ring in my father's treasure, and in the same place I took a glass or a mirror and a comb which my wife would have had. It was made of the bone of a clean noble beast named Panthera, which feeds between the great Iude and earthly paradise. He is so lusty, fair, and of a color that there is no color under heaven, but some likeness is in him. He smells so sweet that the savour of him heals all sicknesses and for his beauty and sweetness. A sweet-smelling panther follows him, for by his sweet savor, all other beasts are healed of all sicknesses. This panther has a broad, thin bone; when this beast is slain, the sweet odor remains in the bone which cannot be broken, rot, or be destroyed by fire, water, or beating. It is so hard and firm, yet light in weight. The sweet odor of it has great power, causing one who smells it to set aside all other desires in the world and be easily and quietly rid of all manner of diseases and infirmities. The panther is polished as if with fine silver, and its teeth are small and straight. Between the larger and smaller teeth is a large field and space where many subtle images are enameled with fine gold. The field is checked with sable and silver, enameled with cyborium and asphaltum. In it is the story of Venus, Juno, and Pallas, each of whom desired the golden apple. had there been a controversy in Paris, as to whom he should give the apple. And he kept his father's beasts and sheep outside Troy, when he had received the apple. Juno promised him, if he would judge in her favor, she would grant him the greatest reward; he would surpass all others. For that is the treasure which no man can praise enough. Fair, honest, and good women can drive away many a sorrow from the heart. They are modest and wise, and bring a man into great joy and bliss. Paris heard her speak, the great love and joyful life they had together. And the story goes on.\n\nNow you shall hear of the mirror. The glass that stood before it was of such virtue that men could see in it all that was done within a mile, of men, beasts, and all things that I would desire to write and know. And whatever man looked into the glass, he was healed of any disease, be it king or mote, smart or pearls in his eyes. Such great virtue had the glass. Is it then wonder if I am moved and angry to lose such jewels. The tree in which this glass stood was light and fast, and was named cedar; it should endure ever before it would rot or worms harm it; and therefore King Solomon consecrated his temple within with the same wood. Men prized it more than fine gold, it is like to the tree of Helenus; of which wood King Cromart made his horse, for the love of Moroccan's daughter, whom he had thought to win. That horsehold was within less than an hour, a hundred miles thence; and that was well proven, for Cleomedes the king's son would not believe that; That horse of wood had such might and virtue. He was young, lusty, and hardy; and desired to do great deeds of valor to be renowned in this world; and leap on this horse of wood. Cromart turned a pin that stood on his breast; and anon the horse lifted him up and went out of the hall by the window, before one might say his Pater Noster; he was gone. more than ten miles away, Cleomedes was afraid and believed he would never return, as the story relates more clearly. But how great was his fear, and how far had he ridden on the horse made of the tree of heaven before he knew the art and craft to turn himself? And how joyful was he when he knew it? And how men mourned for him? And how he knew all this and the joy thereof when he returned - I pass over these details for the loss of time. But the most part of all came about by the virtue of the wood, from which the tree that the glass stood in was made, and that was without the glass, half a foot broad. Within it stood some strange histories which were of gold, sable, silver, yellow, ashes, and cyanop. These six colors were there wrought in such a way that it was fitting. And under every history, the words were engraved and enameled so that every man might understand what each history was.\n\nAccording to my judgment, there was never a mirror so costly, so lovely, felt so far and so swiftly. The horse was angry that he ran so far ahead of him and couldn't overtake him. He thought he should catch him and subdue him, though it would cause him much pain. The horse spoke to a herdsman in this way: \"If you could catch him, I can show you how to gain great profit from him. You should sell his horns, his hide, and his flesh.\" The herdsman asked, \"How can I catch him?\" The horse replied, \"Sit upon me, and I will carry you, and we will hunt him until he is taken.\" The herdsman sprang and sat upon the horse, and they saw the heart. He rode after it, but the heart was light-footed and swift. They hunted him so far that the horse grew weary, and they were rewarded with the same.\n\nThere was also made an ass and a hound, which dwelt both with a rich man. The man loved his hound well, for he played often with him, as people do with hounds. The hound leapt up and played with its tail, and licked its master about the mouth. This amused Bowdwin the ass. And he had great hatred for it in his heart, and said to himself, \"How can this be, and what can my lord see in this worthless hound, who never does good or profits anything except for barking and kissing him? But I, whom men put to labor, to bear and draw, and do more in a week than he should in a whole year, and yet he sits by him at the table, and there is nothing but thorns and nettles, and lies on hard earth and suffers many scorns. I will no longer endure this. I will think how I may gain my lord's love and friendship like the hound does.\" Then came the lord, and the ass lifted its tail and sprang with its forefeet on the lord's shoulders. It brayed and sang and with its feet made two great bulges about its ears, and put forth its mouth and would have kissed the lord's mouth as it had seen the hound do. The lord cried out in fear, \"Help, help! This ass will kill me!\" Then came his servants with good staves and struck it. and beat the ass so sore that he thought he should have lost his life. Then he returned to his stable and ate thistles and nettles, and was an ass as before. In the same way, anyone who envies and hates another's welfare, and is served in the same way, it would be well for them. Therefore, it is concluded that the ass shall eat thistles and nettles and bear the burden, though men would do him worship he cannot understand it, but must use old lewd manners. Wherever asses gain lordships, there men see seldom good rule. For they take heed of nothing but their singular profit, yet they take up and rise up great, the more pitiful it is.\n\nFurthermore, my father had sworn by their truth that for love or hate they should not part. And what they gained, they should part to each the half. Then at one time they saw hunters coming over the field with many hounds. They leapt and ran fast from them, afraid for their lives. Tybert said the fox, \"Why should we now best flee? The hunters have arrived.\" espied vs. You only know one way to help my father, who trusted in the promise each made to one another and would not depart from him. Tybert said, and was afraid. And he said, \"Reynard, what are all these words for? I know but one purpose. And there I must go. He climbed up into the top of a high tree, under the leaves, where hunter and hound could do him no harm. And he left my father alone, in danger of his life. For the hunters set the hounds on him, all that they could. Men blew the horns and cried and hailed the fox. Silence and Sand replied, \"Reynard, cousin, unbind now your sack where all the wiles are. It is now time you were so wise and helped yourself. For this mockery must cost my father his life, and he was almost taken and near his death. He ran and fled in great fear for his life, but even that could not help him. The hounds were too swift and would have caught him.\" But he had one experience where he found an old hole, in which he crept and escaped the hunters and hounds. This false deceiver kept this secret from his servants, who he had promised to share it with. Alas, how many keep their promises nowadays and set them aside even when they break them? And though I hate Tybalt for this, is it wonder and misfortune in his body or his goods? I believe it should not grieve me so much that another deed did it. Nevertheless, I shall neither hate him nor envy him. I shall forgive him for God's love, but a little ill will towards him remains in my heart, as this comes to my remembrance. And there, in the mirror of the wolf, stood the image of how he once found a dead horse flayed. But all the flesh had been eaten. Then he took great morsels of the bones and swallowed them for hunger, three or four at a time. for he was so greedy that one bone stuck in his mouth, causing him great pain and fear for his life. He sought wise masters and surgeons, promising great rewards to be healed of his disease. At last, when he could find no remedy, he came to the crane with his long neck and bill, and begged him to help him. The crane listened to this great reward and put his head in his throat, pulling out the bone with his bill. A wolf appeared on the side, growling and crying out, \"Alas, you do me harm, and be merry, for you are whole now, give to me what you promised.\" The wolf said, \"Will you listen to what I say? I am the one who has suffered and have a reason to complain. He does not thank me for the kindness I did to him. He put his head in my mouth, and I allowed him to draw it out without hurting him. And he did me harm as well. If any here...\" should have a reward, it should be I by right / Unkind men nowadays reward those who do them good and subtly arise and become great / then goes worship and profit all to mankind, do good to such as have helped them in need / those now find causes and say they are hurt and would have amends / where they ought to reward and make amends themselves / Therefore it is said and believed / whoever wants to scold or chastise / all this and much more than I can now well remember was made and wrought in this glass / The master who ordered it / was an alchemist and a profound clerk in many sciences / And because these jewels were over good and precious for me to keep and have / Therefore I sent them to my dear lord the king and to the queen as a present / Where are they now that give such presents to their lords / The sorrow that my clothing and array became to them on their bodies / O alas, I knew not that quartz the hare was so near his death when I delivered him the male with these jewels / I knew. not to whom I might have given them. Though it should have cost me my life. rather than him and Bellart the ram, / They were two of my best friends. Out alas, I cry upon the murderer's hold, run through all the world to seek him. For murder abides not hidden. it shall come out perhaps he is in this company who knows where Quartz is become. though he tells it not. for many false shrews walk with good men. from whom no man can keep him. they know their craft so well and can well cover their falsehoods. but the most wonderful thing that I have is that my lord the king says so foolishly. that my father nor I did him any good. that seems marvelous to me. but there come so many things before him that he forgets one thing with another. and so farewell.\n\nLord, remember not you when my lord your father lived, and you a youngling of two years, that my father came from school from Menpellier, where he had studied for five years in the receipts of medicines. he knew all the tokens of the viper as well as This man/and all the herbs and their properties that were astringent or laxative, he was a singular master in that art. He could wear silk and a gilt girdle. When he arrived at court, he found the king in great sickness, whom he deeply loved above all other lords. The king would not dismiss him, said Reynard, I am sick and feel worse the longer I remain so. My father said, my dear lord, here is a herbal remedy. As soon as I can see it, I will tell you what ailment it is and how you will be helped. The king did as his father advised, for he trusted him above all others. Though his father did not act as he should have, but it was a raging thing against Lord Y if you will have it. You must keep quiet and say nothing. But the king said to him, Sir Ysegrim, now you see that I must have your liver if I will be well. The wolf replied and said, No, my lord, not so. I know well that I am not yet five years old. I have heard my mother. My father said, \"What causes my words to be revealed to me late on? I will know by the liver if it is good for you or not. He commanded all his household, after that time, to call him Master Reynard. He remained steadfast by the king and was obedient to all things, and the king gave to Garlond of Roses, which he must always wear on his head. But all the old good things that he did have been forgotten. And those covetous and ravenous shrews have been taken up and seated on high benches, heard and praised, while the wise people are pushed back. By this, these lords often lack, and cause them to be in much trouble and sorrow. For when a covetous man of low birth is made a lord, and is greatly exalted above his neighbors, having power and might, then he does not know himself, nor when he has come, and has no pity on anyone, nor heeds anyone's request, but only seeks great gifts, his entire intent. and desire is to gather good and to be greater. O how many covetous men are now in lords courts. They flatter and smile, and please the prince for their singular avail, but if the prince had need of them or their good, they would rather give or lend him reluctantly. They are like the wolf that would rather the king had died than give him its life. Yet I would rather that the king or the queen should fare amiss, that twenty such wolves should lose their lives, it were also the least loss. My lord, all this befell in your youth that my father did thus. I believe you have forgotten it. And also I have myself done you reverence, worship, and courtliness. Unmoved be it, though now you thank me little, but perhaps you have not remembered that I shall now say not to anyone for your wisdom, for you are worthy of all worship and reverence that any man can do, that have you of almighty God by inheritance of your noble progenitors. Wherefore I, your humble subject and servant, am bound to do to you all the obedience and service. I came upon a time walking with the wolf Isegrim. We had both gotten a swine under us. And because of its low crying we pitied it to death. And the wolf from afar called out to us, saying we were welcome. He and my lady the queen, who came after you, were very hungry and had nothing to eat. They begged us to give you a share of our winnings. Isgrym spoke so softly, \"good will.\" Though it was more pleasing to us that you have a share, and then the wolf departed as he was wont to do. He took a half for himself and gave you a quarter, for you and for the queen. That other quarter he ate and ate hastily because he wanted to eat it alone. He showed us his condition and nature. If men had sung a Creed, my lord, you had eaten your part. And yet you would have wished for more, for you were not full. Because he gave. You no more protest, you/ Lift up your right foot and struck him between the ears that you taunted and ran away and left his part there lying / He said to you, \"Haste you again hither and bring to us more.\" And afterwards, see better how you deal and divide / Then I, my lord, said, \"If it pleases you, I will go with him.\" I well know what you said / I went with him / he bled and groaned as sorely as he was all softly / he dared not cry out loud / we went so far that we brought a calf / And when you saw us come towards you, you laughed because you were well pleased / you said to me that I was swift in honoring\u00b7 I see well that you can find well when you take it upon yourself / you are good to send forth in a need / The calf is good and fat. Half of it, my lord, shall be for you. And the other half for my lady the queen. The moghettis, livers, and inwards shall be for/ You, Reynart, who has taught you, man and beast, friend or enemy, what they can. get that takes place in the lands and towns, where the wolves have the upper hand. My lord, I have done this and many other good things for: I would not say as you do, I have seen the sheriff bring no great matter concerning which he can bring no witnesses. Let me then be truly released according to the law and custom of this court. The king said, \"Reynart, you speak reasonably. I know nothing more of Quarts' death than that the ram brought his head here. In the matter of this, I let you go free. I have no witnesses for it. My dear lord said, \"Thank you.\" Surely you do well for his death makes me so sorrowful that I think my heart will break in two. Oh, when they dandied him, he made his countenance and stroked him. I had very nearly supposed that it had not been feigned but true. They were sorry for his loss and mine. And the king and queen both felt pity for him. They commanded him not to make too much sorrow, but to endeavor to fetch He thanked them greatly for their willingness and desire to have him, as he had praised them. And because he had made them understand that he had sent the jesters to them, though they had never had them, they thanked him and prayed him to help them so that they might have them. The fox understood their malice; he said, \"Thank you, my lord and lady, for so kindly comforting me in my sorrow. I shall not rest night or day, nor will I do anything for myself but run and pray, threaten and ask at all the corners of the world, though I should ever seek until I know where they have come. And, my lord the king, if they are in such a place that I cannot get them through prayer, might, or request, I pray you, my lord the king, that if you know where they are, you would assist me and stay with me, for it concerns you, and the good is yours. And also it is your duty to do justice on the theft and murder, which are both in this case. Reynard said to the king, \"Shall I not leave you when you know where they are? My help will always be there.\" \"You are ready, O dear lord, this is too much for me to bear / if I had power and might, I would shield myself against you / Now the fox has his mother securely and fairly / for he has the king in his power as he thought / He thought he was in a better position than it was likely to have been / He has made so many lies / that he may go freely wherever he will without complaining from any of them all / Except for Isegrym, who was angry and displeased and said / O noble king, are you so childish that you believe this false and subtle knave / and allow yourself to be deceived with false lies / Indeed, it should be long before I believe him / he is in murder and treason, all wrapped up / And he mocks you to your face / I shall tell him another tale. I am glad that I see him here / all his lies will not help him.\"\n\n\"My lord, I pray you to take heed / this false thief betrayed my wife on a winter's day / and they went to gather through a great water / and behold.\" my wife grabbed my hand and asked that he would teach her to catch fish with her tail, and that she should leave it hanging in the water for a long time and so much fish would cling to it that four of them wouldn't be able to eat it. My foolish wife believed he spoke the truth and went into the marsh to the place where she was to enter the water. When she was in the deepest part of the water, he told her to keep still. She could not deny him, for I found him there with her, dead. For as I went above the bank, I saw him beside my wife, showing and stirring the water as men do when they do such work and play. Alas, what pain I suffered then, as my hand went deep into that marsh and that water before I could pull her out, and we were both in danger of losing our lives. She struggled and cried so loudly for the smart (pain) that she had received before she came out, that the men of the village came out with scoops and bills, with flails and pitchforks. And the wives with their disputes/ and cried disputatiously, \"Sleeper, sleeper, sleep!\"/ and struck down right/ I had never in my life seen such problems/ for we almost escaped/ we ran so fast that there was a villain who stood against us with a pitchfork/ which hurt us sore, he was strong and swift of foot/ had it not been night/ Certainly we would have been slain/ The old foul queens wanted to beat us/ they said that we had bitten their sheep/ They cursed us with many a curse/ Though we came into a field full of broom and brambles/ there we hid ourselves from the villains/ and they dared not follow us farther by night/ but returned home again/ See my lord, this foul matter/ this is murder/ rape/ & treason/ which you ought to do justice upon sharply.\n\nRenard answered and said, \"If this were true, it should come near my honor and worship/ God forbid that it should be found true/ It is well true that I taught her how to hold a good place/ for going over into the water without going into the mire/ But she\" ran so desperately when she heard me name the fish,\nThat she neither way nor path could hold her,\nBut went into the sea wherein she was forlorn,\nAnd that was because she had stayed too long;\nShe had enough fish if she could have been pleased with measure, it fell through.\nWhoever wants all, lets go of some,\nOverly covetous was never good,\nFor the best cannot be satisfied,\nAnd when I saw her in the sea so fast,\nI thought to help her, and heave and shove and bring her out,\nBut it was all in vain,\nFor she was too heavy for me.\nThen Ysegrim came and saw how I heaved and shoved and rowed clumsily with her.\nBut my dear lord, it was no otherwise. He lied to me, perhaps;\nHis eyes died as he looked and cursed me, and swore many an oath I should die there,\nWhen I heard him curse and threaten,\nI went my way,\nAnd let him curse and menace until he was weary,\nAnd then he went and heaved and shoved and helped his wife out. and then he leapt and ran, and she also to get them a heat and to warm them or else\nAnd whatever I have said before or after, that is clearly all the truth, I would not for a thousand marks of fine gold lie to you one lying, it were not becoming for me, whatever falls from me I shall say the truth, like my elders have always done, since the time that we first understood reason. And if you are in doubt about anything that I have said otherwise, trust and believe me, and so shall all your counsel. What shall I do with the wolf and the unclean beast? When he dealt and departed from the swine, it is now known to you all by his own words that he is a defamer of women as much as is in him, you may well mark everyone. Whoever would do that deed to one so steadfast a wife, in such great peril of death, ask his wife, if it is so as he says, if she will speak the truth, I wote well, she shall speak as I do. Though Spearshalt speaks deceitfully for the wolf's wife. Ah, fallen Rainier, no man can keep himself. from the well, thou canst so well utter thy words and thy falseness and treason set forth, but it shall be evilly rewarded in the end. How didst thou bring me once into the well where the two buckets hang by one cord running through one pole, one going up and another down? Thou sat in that one bucket beneath in great fear. I came there and heard the sigh and made sorrow. I asked thee how thou camest there. Thou saidst that thou hadst there so many good fish eaten out of the water that thy belly would burst. I said, tell me how I shall come to the well. Then thou saidst, \"Aunt Sprinkle in that bucket that hangs there, and thou shalt come to me at once.\" I did so, and I went downward. Thou was angry and sprang forth and went thy way. I remained there alone, sitting an entire day sore and hungry and cold. And to this I had many a stroke before I could get out. Aunt said, Fox, if you caused me harm through your strokes, I would rather have endured them than you. For one of us must necessarily have suffered. I taught you well, if you will understand it and think about it. Another time take better heed and believe no one too hastily. Is he free or kin to you? Every man seeks his own profit. They are fools who do not. My lord said to Dame Erswyn, \"Pray, Dame Erswyn, how can he blow with all winds? And how fairly does he bring forth his matters?\" Thus, he has brought me much harm and hurt. The wolf said, \"My lord, I pray, Dame Erswyn, I can tell you how he can blow with all winds, and how fairly he brings forth his matters. He has often brought me in harm and danger. Once he betrayed me to the she-ape, my aunt, where I was in great fear and danger. For I left there almost dead. The fox said, \"I will tell it without stammering. I will speak the truth. I pray you, listen to me. He came into the wood and complained to me that he was extremely hungry. I had never seen him so full before, but he always wanted more. I wonder where the meat is.\" I became hungry, and I said I was as well. We went half a day to Gydre and found nothing. He begged and cried, saying he could not stand in the middle under a hawthorn thick with briers. I heard a rustling there, and I didn't know what it was. Then I said I would go in and look if there was anything there for us. I knew there was something. He, my cousin, said I would not find it. I think there is something dangerous but I shall stay here under this tree. If you will go before, but come back soon and tell me what it is. You can manage many subtle things and help yourself much better than I can. See, my lord the king. Thus he made me pour out to go before into the danger, and he, who is great and strong, remained outside and rested in peace. Stay away if I don't come back for him.\n\nI would not endure the fear and dread that I suffered there for all the good in the earth, but if I knew how to escape, I went in boldly. I found the way. I saw a great light that came from that side, where there lay a great beast with two wide eyes. They gleamed like fire. She had a great mouth with long teeth and sharp nails on her feet and hands. I thought she was still. I was afraid, and wished I had been elsewhere, but I thought I was there to go through it and come out as best I could. She seemed more terrifying than a wolf, and her children were more numerous. I had never seen a more fearsome sight. They lay on fowl boughs, which were all bespattered. They were bound and blindfolded in her own den. The stench was so strong that I dared not speak but good, and then I said, \"Aunt, give you and all your fair children a good day.\" They were the fairest I had ever seen. O Lord God, how pleasing they were to me, how lovely. Each of them was beautiful enough to be a great sight. King's son, we ought to thank you for your kindness in allowing me to visit you. I could no longer stay away but had to come and see you friendly. I am sorry that I had not known it earlier. Reynard's cousin said, \"Welcome, for you have found me and come to see me. I thank you.\" Dere's cousin, you are truly and rightly named in all lands, and also for gladly furthering and bringing your lineage into great worship. I must teach your good ones. How well-deserved I was at the beginning when I called her aunt. Yet she was nothing akin to me. For my true aunt is Dame Rukwoned, who brings forth wise children. I said, \"Aunt, my life and my good are at your commandment. And whatever I may do for you by night and by day, I will gladly teach them all that I can. I would have liked to have been there for the stench of them. And also I had pity for Isegrym's great longing. I said, \"Aunt, I shall commit you and your fair children to God and take my leave.\" My wife will long remember me. Dere. Cosyn said you shall not depart until you have eaten. If you did, I would say you were unkind. She stood up and led me to another room where there was much venison of hearts and hares, pheasants, and many other kinds of game. I marveled whence all this food might come. And when I had eaten my belly full, she gave me a large piece of a hind to eat with my wife and household. When I came home, I was ashamed to take it. But I could not do otherwise. I thanked her and took my leave. She bade me come soon again. I said I would. And so I departed merrily, glad that I had fared so well. I hurried out. And when I came and saw Ysegrim, who lay groaning. I asked him how he fared. He said he was new alive for it is wonderful that I live. Bring you any food to eat, I would die of hunger. I had compassion on him and gave him what I had. And saved his life there. Why is he now indebted to me with evil will?\n\nHe had eaten this up at once. Thus. Reynard's cousin, who was with him, replied, \"I have found something in that hole. I am hungrier now than before. My teeth are sharpened to eat. I replied, 'Hasten lightly into that hole. You will find enough there. My aunt lies there with her children. If you spare the truth and tell great lies, you will have all that you desire. But if you tell the truth, you will harm her. My lord was not satisfied with this warning. Whoever would understand it, let him do so. But rude and stubborn beasts cannot comprehend wisdom. Therefore, they hate all subtle inventions. Yet, he said he would go in and tell so many lies that everyone would wonder. And so, he went into that foul, stinking hole and found the marmoset. She was like the devil's daughter. And on her children, much filth clung in goblets. He cried out, 'Alas, they growl like those foul nickers. Come out.'\" Sir Ysegrim spoke of hell. Men fear devils. God and drown those who evil may befall. I have never seen fisherworms. They make all my men stand at attention. \"What can I do about it?\" Sir Ysegrim asked. \"They are my children. I must be their mother. What hinders you? Whether they are birds or fine things cost. One has been bestowed upon me today more than on these bird-like creatures. She said \"There is no more.\" He replied \"There is enough.\" And with that, he turned his head toward the food and would have gone into the so sorrowful howl, but I know of no defense he made except that he ran quickly out of the hole. And there he was caught and bitten. Many holes had they made in his coat and skin. His face was all red. And almost he had lost an ear. He groaned and complained bitterly to me. Then I asked him if he had lain well. He said \"I spoke as I saw\" and that was a foul bitch with many foul creatures. \"Nay, eme,\" I said. \"You should have said 'Fair niece how'.\" The wolf said, \"I would have preferred that they were hanged instead of me. The earl, the king, now stands so simply, as if he knew no harm. I pray you ask him if it was not thus. He was not far from it if I knew well. The wolf said, \"I may well endure your mockeries and scorns and also your venomous words. Thief that you are. You said that I was almost dead from hunger when you helped me in my need. That is falsely lied. For it was only then that you gave to me. You had eaten away all the flesh that was there. And you mock me and say that I am hungry here where I stand. That touches my honor nearly. What many a spiteful word have you brought forth with false lies? And that I have conspired the king's death from the treasure that you have told him is in Hulstrol. And you have also shamed and disgraced my wife, who shall never recover from it, and I should forever be disgraced by it.\" If I hadn't angried it not, I have forborne you long. But now you shall not escape me. I cannot make her of great consequence to forego a murderer. And that shall I prove, take it up. I shall camping. We are not both alike. I shall not well connect against this strong thee. Yet thou thought the fox, I have good advantage. The claws of his forefeet are unshod. He shall be somewhat weaker. Thenue said the fox, who that saith that I am a traitor or a murderer? I say he lies falsely, and that art thou specifically vile. Thou bringest me, there as I would be. I have oft desired this, lo here is my pledge, that all thy words are false. And that I shall defend me, and make good that thou liest. The king received the pledges and amended the battle. And asked borrows of them both, that on the morrow they should come and perform their battle, and do as they ought to do. Then the bear and the cat were borrowed for the wolf. And for the fox were borrowed Grimbert the dwarf. The she-ape said to the fox, Reynard, be careful in battle, be cold and wise. An old teacher taught him a prayer of great power for one who will fight and a great master and wise clerk. He was abbot of Bouillon. He said, \"Whoever says this prayer devoutly while fasting shall not be overcome that day in battle or in fighting. Therefore, Reynard, be not afraid. I will read it over to you tomorrow. Then you will be sure enough of the wolf, it is better to fight than to have your neck severed. I thank you, dear aunt, said the fox. The quarrel I have is just, therefore I hope I will come out well, and that will greatly help me. All his kin remained with him that night and helped him drive away the time. The she-ape always thought of his profit and advantage. She anointed all his body with olive oil, and then his body was also glad and slippery, so that the wolf would have no hold on him. And he was round and fat also in body. She said to him, \"You must now drink much, cousin, so that tomorrow you may make your vein stronger. But you shall hold it in until you come to the field. And when it is needed and the time, you shall pass your raw tail through the wolf's anus and blind him with it, which would hinder him greatly. But if you could hit him in the eyes with it, then you should name him with it, for that would hinder him even more. Otherwise, keep your tail firmly between your legs so he doesn't catch you by it. And hold down your ears flat against your head so he can see wisely to himself. At the beginning, flee from his strokes. Let him leap and run after you, and run towards the place where the most dust is. Stir it up with your feet so it flees in his eyes and that will hinder his sight greatly. While he rubs his eyes, take advantage and strike and bite him there as much as you can hurt him. And always taunt him with your tail full of pisse in his face, and that will make him angry. he is so weak that he shall not know where he is, and let him follow you to make him weary. Yet his feet are sore from what you made him lose his shoes. And though he is great, he has no heart. Indeed, this is my advice. The knight goes forth to strengthen himself; therefore, be on your guard for yourselves and us all, so that we may have reverence for it. I would be sorry if you missed [it]. I will teach you the words that your emblem Mertyn taught me, so that you may understand and say these words: Blarde Shay Alphemo, Kasbue Gorsons almighty fear, and I advise you to rest a little, for it is day, you will be better disposed. We shall now encounter the fox; I am glad, God thank you for doing such good for me, I can never deserve it fully again. I think there may be nothing to harm me since you have said these holy words over me. He went and lay down under a tree in the grass and slept until the sun rose. He came. The otter woke him and gave him a good young eel, saying, \"Cousin, I have caught many in the water tonight before I could make it fat. I have taken it from a fisherman. Eat it, Reynard. This is good eel, if I were a fool. I thank you, cousin, that you remind me. If I live, I will reward you.\" The fox ate the eel without sauce or bread, and it tasted good to him and went down well. Then he went to the battle ward, and all who loved him went with him.\n\nWhen the king saw Reynard thus shorn and oiled, he said to him, \"Fox, how well can you see for yourself?\" He wondered at this and was foul to look upon, but the fox said nothing and knelt low before him, prostrating himself in the field. The wolf was ready and spoke many proud words. The rulers and keepers of the field were the wolf and the loser. They brought forth the book, on which the wolf swore that the fox was a traitor. The traitor and a man could not be more false than he. He swore that he lied as a false knight and a cursed thief, and vowed to make amends on his body. Reynard the fox swore that he was a liar and a thief, and promised to do good on his body.\n\nAfter this was done, the governors of the field ordered them to depart, except for Dame Ragnalda the she-ape. She remained by the fox's side and reminded him of his promise.\n\nThen she left the field and let the two of them go their way. The wolf pursued the fox in great anger and opened his sore feet, intending to capture him. But the fox jumped lightly away. The wolf ran after him and hunted him fiercely. Their friends stood by, disinterested and watched.\n\nThe wolf strode wider than Reynard did and often overtook him. He lifted his foot to strike him, but the fox saw it and struck him with his rough tail instead, which he had passed by his face in mockery. Though the wolf intended to... The wolf should have been struck blind / the pit's ember in his eyes / then he had to rest to heal his eyes / Reyner thought on his plight and stood above the wind, scraping and casting with his feet the dust that flew into the wolf's eyes / The wolf was severely blinded thereby / in such a way that he had to abandon the chase after him / for the sand and pit irritated under his eyes so sorely / that he had to rub and wash it away / Then came Reyner in great anger and healed three great wounds on his head with his teeth / and said, \"What is that, sir wolf? Has one bitten you there? How is it with you? I will deal with you otherwise yet / wait, I will bring you some new thing / you have stolen many a label and destroyed many a simple beast / & now falsely have accused me and brought me into this trouble / all this I will now avenge on you / I am chosen to reward thee for the old sins.\" / For good will no longer suffer your great ravaging and shrewishness / I shall now absolve you and that will be good. for thy soul take patiently this penance / for thou shalt live no longer / the hell shall be thy purgatory / Thy life is now in my mercy / but if thou wilt kneel down and ask me for forgiveness / and know that to be mocking and spiteful words have gone out of his wit / and that he was so angry in his heart / he knew not what to say, buff or baff / he was so angry in his heart / The wounds that Reynard had given him bled and smoked / With great anger, he lifted up his foot and struck the fox on the head so hard and long / The wolf had great spite on the fox, as it seemed / he sprang after him ten times, each after the other / and would have had him fast / but his skin had so struck him then that he went above the wind and raised the dust / that made his eyes full of stuff / Isegrym was almost defeated / and thought he was at an aftermath / yet was his strength and might much more than the foxes / Reynard had many a sore stroke from him / They gave each other many a stroke and many a bite. when they saw their advantage, and each of them did his best to destroy the other, I wish I could see such a contest, where one was cunning and the other strong, where one fought with strength and the other with guile.\n\nThe wolf was angry that the fox endured so long against him, if his first feet had been whole, the fox would not have endured so long, but the sores were so open that he could not run well, and the fox was better off and on than he, and also he swung his tail with a threatening pose often under his eyes, and made him think that his eyes should go out. At last he said to himself, I will make an end of this contest, how long shall this captive endure thus against me, I am so great, I should, if I laid upon him pressure, kill him, it is a great shame to me that I spare him so long, men will mock and rebuke me with fingers to my shame and disgrace, I am sore wounded, I bleed heavily, and he drowns me with his dust and sand. in my eyes, I shall not long endure him, I will set it in motion and see what shall come of it. The fox sees Reynard fall on his head and before he could rise, he caught him in his feet and lay upon him as he would have pressed him to death. Thus began the fox to be afraid, and so were all his friends when they saw him lying there. On the other side, all Isengrim's friends were joyful and glad. The fox defended himself fiercely with his claws as he lay with his feet upward. And gave him many a blow. The wolf dared not do him much harm with his feet but with his teeth snapped at him as he would have bitten with his first claws and tore the skin between his brows and his ears. One of his eyes hung out. Which caused him much pain, he howled, he wept, he cried pitifully, and made a pitiful noise, for the blood ran down like a stream. The wolf wiped his eyes. The fox was glad when he saw that, he wrestled so fiercely that he sprang up. on his feet he rubbed his eyes; the wolf was not wounded therewith all; and he struck after him or he escaped and caught him in his arms and held him fast, notwithstanding that he bled. Reynard was worried then. They wrestled long and fiercely. The wolf grew so angry that he forgot all his cunning and pain and threw the fox under him. This came badly for the fox. For one hand with which he defended himself, he plunged into Wygreem's throat, and then he was afraid to lose his hand. The wolf said to the fox, \"Now choose whether you will yield yourself as overcome or else I shall certainly kill you. The stench of the dust, your mocking or your defense, nor all your wily tricks, can help you now. You may not escape me. You have before done me so much harm and shame, and now I have lost my one eye and am severely wounded.\" When Reynard heard that it had come to this, that he must choose to yield himself or be killed, he hesitated. To take the death / he thought the choices was worth ten marks / And that he must conclude what he would say / and began to say to him with fair words in this way / There, I will gladly become your man with all my good / And I will go for you to the holy grave / and shall get pardon and winnings for your cloister / of all the churches that are in the holy land / Which shall greatly profit your soul and your elders' souls also / I believe there was never such a profit / provided to any king / And I shall serve you / like as I should serve our holy father the pope / Forthwith I shall make that all my lineage shall do likewise / Then you will be a lord above all lords / who would then dare do anything against you / And furthermore, whatever I take of poultry, cheese, pottage or pottage, fish or flesh, or whatever it be / thereof,\nyou shall first have the choices / and your wife and your children / before any come in my body / Thereto I will always abide by. you, who are you, where you be, shall no harm come to you. You are strong, and I am cunning. Late I have remained to advise one and act on the decision of the other. Therefore, nothing may fall to us. And we are so near in kin that there should be no anger between us. I would not have fought against you if I could have escaped. But you challenged me to fight. I had to do it. I would gladly not have done it. In this battle, I have been courteous to you. I have not yet shown the utmost of my might to you. Likewise, I would have spared the enemy. It is good reason and it ought to be so. Therefore, I now do it. And that you may mark well when I ran before you. My heart would not consent to it. For I might have hurt you much more than I did. But that misfortune had not happened to you. But that it had not happened. I. Though it fell upon me, you would have been pleased. How is it that you will have a great advantage from this? For when you sleep in the future, you need only shut one window, while another must shut two. My wife and my children, and my lineage will fall down before your feet, before the king and all those you desire and pray, humbly asking that you will suffer Reynard, my new life, and I will often have the opportunity to make amends against you, and to confess any wrongs I have committed against you. How could any lord have more honor than I offer you? I would not do this for any good reason, therefore I pray you to be pleased here with all. I well know if you would, you could now kill me, but if you did, what would you have gained? So you must forever after keep yourself from my friends and lineage. Therefore he is wise who can measure himself in anger and not be hasty, and see well what may fall or happen to him afterward. What man in his anger can advise himself wisely certainly he is wise. Men find many fools who hurry themselves so much in haste that after they repent, it is too late. But I believe you are wise enough not to do so. It is better to have pride, honor, rest, and peace, and many friends ready to help, than to have shame, hurt, and no rest, and also many enemies lying in wait to do harm. It is little respect to him who has overcome man, then to kill him. It is great shame, not for my life - though I were dead - that would be a lie.\n\nIsegrym the wolf said, \"Ay, thief, how gladly would you be lost and discharged from me, that here I well believe by your words, you would now be from me on your free feet. You would not set an eggshell by me.\"\n\nThough you promised me all the world of fine red, gold, I would not let you escape. I see all your stands and lineage. All that you have said is lying and feigned falsehood. Do you think thus to deceive me? It is long since I knew you. I am no bird to be trifled with. I.: The fox considered how to seize the wolf. He placed his other hand between his legs and grasped the wolf fast by the hind legs. The wolf endured such severe wrestling that he cried out loudly and howled. Then, due to the intense pain and anguish from the harsh wrestling, the fox injured and deceived his genitals, causing him to spit out blood. The pain inflicted upon him was more distressing than the bleeding from his eye. Additionally, the wrestling caused him great discomfort. In his colonies, he grew faint and lost his might. Then Reynard the fox leapt upon him with all his might and caught him by the legs, dragging him through the field so that all could see. They were Ysegrim's friends, filled with sorrow, and went weeping to the king and begged him to take command of the battle and lead it. The king granted it, and then the keepers of the field, the lord and the loser, spoke to the fox and said he would take command. He desires that you will give your struggle to him, for if any of you here were slain, it would bring great shame on both sides, for you have as much worship of this field as I do. I, Thusbond, Dame Rukena, and her two sons and Hatenafeeld, so may he who wins. And he comes to his above. He receives great ease and worship. And he who is overthrown and has the worse, to him no man gladly comes. There came also to the fox, the beaver, and both their wives, Panthacre and Ordagle. And they had won the field. Some came who had previously complained to him and were now of his kin. And they showed him friendly face and demeanor. Thus fares the world now, he who is rich and high on the wheel, he has many kinsmen and friends who will help bear out his wealth. But he who is needy and in want, There was then great feast. They blew trumpets and piped with shalms. They said all their new, \"Blessed be God that you have prospered well.\" We were in great fear and dread when we saw you lying there, Reynard the fox thanked them all friendly, and received them with great joy and gladness. Then he asked them what they counseled. Trust him well enough, they all went with the keepers of the field to the king. Reynard the fox went to them all with trumpets and pipes, and much other minstrelsy. The fox knelt down before the king. The king bade him stand up and said to him, Reynard, you are now joyful, you have kept your day worshipfully. I discharge you, and let you go freely quit where it pleases you. And the debate between you I hold on me. I, your worthy and dear lord the king, said the fox. I am well aware and have paid for it. But when I first came into your court, there were many who were envious towards me. Those who had never had harm or cause of injury from me, but they thought they might overcome me. And all they cried with my enemies against me, and wished to destroy me because they thought that the wolf was favored and greater with you than I, who am your humble thing. They did not act as the wise were accustomed to do, that is, what... The ends may happen. My lords, these are like a great horde of hounds I once saw standing at a lord's place on a dongle, waiting for men to bring them food. Then they saw a hound come out of the kitchen and take a fair rib of beef or it was given to him. He ran away quickly, but the cook had seen this or he had gone, and took a kettle of scalding water and threw it on his hindquarters. Nothing the cook, for scalded he was. His skin seemed as if it had been through a sieve. Nevertheless, he escaped away and kept what he had won. And when his companions, the other hounds, saw him come with this fair rib, they called to him and said to him, \"Oh, how good a friend is the cook to us! Who has given us such a bone, wherefrom we have so much flesh.\" The hound said, \"You know nothing of that. You praise me as you see me before you with the bone, but you have not seen me behind. Take heed and behold me afterward and my buttocks.\" I have deserved it. And when they had seen him behind on his hippiness in the water, and would not share his fellowship, but fled and ran away from him, leaving him alone, see, my lord, these false beasts, when they are made lords and can get their desire, and when they are mighty and doubted, then they are extortioners and scatter and pillage the people, and eat them like ravenous hounds. These are they that would have a part and like their fingers, and strengthen them in their evil life and works. O dear lord, how little they see who do such things after them, what the end shall be at last, they fall from high to low in great shame and sorrow, and then their works come to be known and open and wanton. Many of such have been blamed and shorn, that they had no worship nor profit, but lost their ears as the hound did. Those are their friends. Who have hoped them to cover their misdeeds and extortions. Like as the hare covers the skin. And when they. I have sorrow and shame for our old transgressions. Then each body draws his hand away from him. And flee, like hounds from him who was scalded by the boiling water, and let these extortions be in their sorrow and need. My dear lordship oppresses the poor people greatly with great wrong, and sells their freedom and privileges, and lays upon them things they never knew or thought of, all for the sake of their singular profit. God give them all shame and soon destroy those who come into the light. I am not afraid of any who can say anything against me that I have done otherwise than a true man should do. Always the fox shall live, though all his enemies had sworn the contrary. My dear lord, I love you above all other lords. And never for anyone would I turn from you, but abide by you to the bitterest, however it has been otherwise informed by your enemies. I have nevertheless always done the best, and so will I do all my life. The king said, \"Reynard, you are one of those who owe me homage. I want you to do this continually. I also want you to be early and late in my council and one of my justices. See to it that you do not disobey or trespass. I set you back in all your might and power, just as you were before, and ensure that you handle all matters to the best right. For when you set your wit and counsel to virtue and good counsel, and are subtle in finding a remedy for a mischief. And think on the example you have given. And haunt righteousness and be to and do by your advice and counsel. He who misbehaves towards you does not live. But I will sharply avenge and wreak it on him. You shall speak and say my words. And in all my land, you shall be above all other sorrowful ones and my bailiff. I grant you this office. You may well occupy it with worship. All Reynard's friends and lineage thank the king heartily. The king said, \"I would do more for you.\" Dame Ruenaw reportedly said, \"My lord, he is truly trustworthy. He shall always be, and do not think otherwise, for if he were otherwise, he would not be of our kin nor lineage. Reynard the Fox thanked the king with fair courteous words and said, \"Lord, I am not worthy to have the wand and its children draw the wolf out of the field and place him on a high litter, cover him warmly, and tend to his wounds, which were severe. But wise masters and surgeons came and bound them and tended to him. The masters gave him a drink that comforted his heart and helped him sleep. They comforted his wife and told her that there was no deathly wound nor danger to his life. Then the court dispersed, and the beasts departed and returned to their places and homes from whence they came. Reynard the Fox took his leave honestly from the king.\" The queen's messengers urged the fox to return to them shortly. He answered, \"Your majesties, I will always be ready at your commandment, if you need anything which God forbids I would be ready with my body and my good to help you. And likewise, all my friends and kin will obey your commandment and desire. You have truly deserved it. May God grant it to you and give you long life. I desire your license. If your gracious majesty requires anything, let me know and I shall find myself always ready.\" Thus, the fox departed with fair words from the king. Now, whoever could imitate Reynard's cunning and behave in flattering and lying as he did, he would, I believe, be the greatest part that crept after his way and his whole craft. The name given to him always accompanies him. He has left many of his craft in this world, which always grow and become mighty. For whoever will not use Reynard's cunning now is. In the world, nothing is valuable now in any estate that is of might,\nBut if he can creep in Reynard's net, and has been his servant,\nThen may he dwell with us,\nFor then he knows well the way how he may arise,\nAnd is set up above every man,\nThere is much seed left of the fox, which now grows and comes up,\nThough they have no red berries,\nYet many foxes are found now,\nMore than there were before.\nThe righteous people are all lost,\nTruth and righteousness are exiled and driven out,\nAnd in their place are left with us covetousness, falsehood, hate, and envy.\nThese reign now much in every country,\nFor is it not in the pope's court, the emperor's, the kings, dukes, or any other lords' courts\nWhere each man labors to put others out from his worship, office, and power,\nTo make himself climb high with lies,\nWith flattery, with simony, with money, or with strength and force,\nThere is nothing beloved or known in the court nowadays but money. Money is better loved than God, for men desire it more than anything. Whoever gets money will be well received and will have all his desires, whether it be from lords, ladies, or anyone else. Money brings many into shamelessly living, lying, and lechery. Now clerks go to Rome and to many other places to learn Reynard's craft. Is he a clerk? Is he a layman? Each of them treads in the fox's path and seeks his hole. The world is in such a condition now that every man seeks himself in all matters. I do not know what end will come of this. All wise men may sorrow therefore. I fear that due to the great falseness, theft, robbery, and murder that is used so much and commonly, and also the shameless lechery and shameless boasting and blowing a brood with the encouraging of the same, without great penance, therefore, God will take vengeance and punish us sorely. I humbly beseech Him and to whom nothing is hidden that He will give us grace to. Make amends for that, and so that we may rule ourselves to his pleasure. And with this, I will leave for what I have to write about these misdeeds. I have now to do with my own self. And so it would be better that I held my peace and suffer. The best that I can do for self-amendment now in this time, I counsel and advise, and that he stood there with no shame. But that he was so great with the king that he might help and further his friends and hinder his enemies, and also do as he pleased, without being blamed if he were wise.\n\nThe courteous words of the fox. Reynard did great reverence and thanked them all friendlessly. They had done and shown to him good faith and also worship. And he promised service to each of them if they had need with body and goods. And with that, they departed. Each of them went to their own houses. The fox went to Dame Ermelin his wife, who welcomed him friendly. He told her and his children all. I. Wonder how this happened to him in the court, and I forgot not a word, but told them every detail how I had escaped. Then they were glad that their father was so enhanced and great with the king. The fox lived beyond, with his wife and children, in great joy and gladness. Now whoever said to you about the fox more or less than you have heard or read, I hold it for less. But this that you have heard or read, you may believe well. And if anything is said or written here that may displease or harm any man, I pray all those who shall see this little treatise to correct and amend where they find fault. For I have not added or omitted anything but have followed as closely as I could my copy, which was in Dutch. And by me, William Caxton, was translated the 6th day of June the year of our Lord M.CCCC.Lxxxj. and the 21st year of the reign of King Edward the Fourth.\n\nHere ends the history of [Reynard the Foxe]", "creation_year": 1481, "creation_year_earliest": 1481, "creation_year_latest": 1481, "source_dataset": "EEBO", "source_dataset_detailed": "EEBO_Phase1"},

Quod attendens, philosophus de anima librium edidit. Cuius expositionem cum questionibus et notabilibus acuto tuo ingenio et generosissimo transmitto. Paterno affeccu rogans, attendius quatinus cognitioni anime sic te intendas, ut per ea proficias ad incrementa virtutum quae in subjectu subiecta ea scias.\n\nUbi non est scientia animae nec bonum proverbiorum xix, Augustinus in Triinitate libri iv, cap. pmo recte ipsum pono. Scientia terrestrium celestiumque rerum magis existimare solet genus humanum, in quo meliores sunt qui huic scientie poeponunt nosse seipsos. Ubi psum Augustinum quod notitia suiipsius est ponenda, noticia celestium et terrestrium rerum. Seipsum autem homo sine noticia animae cognoscere non potest. Noticiae autem animae prie hoc sine notitia anime non est. communis, quia intellectus non procedit a confusis ad distincta ab universalis, ad particularia. Et ideo necessaria fuit scientia animae in communi, sine ea nescit homo bonum suum et hoc est quod dicit praeallegata auctoritas. Ubi nescit scientia animae et cetera. In quo verbo describitur notitia quam querimus: Primo quidem, quia ad materialem continentiam dicitur anima. Nam anima est materia et subiectum huius libri. Nam iste liber declarat naturam et potentias animae. Et ideo scriptura huius libri mirabilior est omnibus scriptis quas fecit Aristoteles unde Themistius. Cum multa sint Aristotelis scripta, ut aliquis mirabitur, magis omnibus mirari contingit negotium de anima et multitudinem problematum in illo, quae neque enarraverunt qui ante Aristotelem fuere, et copiam actionum ad unaquamque methodum quas inseruit in hoc libro. Secundo describitur notitia quam querimus, scilicet quandam scientiam animae quam ad formalem evidenciam dicitur. Nam forma notitiae et ordo: In this text, Aristotle reveals scientific knowledge in the following manner for communicating specifics: This method was employed by him in the following way. All animated things come together in the soul, and therefore Aristotle first notifies the soul in common in the book we hold in our hands. In this book, he determines the nature of the soul and its potentialities or faculties. In subsequent books or works, he determines the properties of each soul. For instance, the soul is either in the body as that which gives the body the ability to live, or it is the living beings themselves. And regarding this work, it is determined in the book on life and death and the causes of a longer life or that very work is about the power of the soul itself. Power is threefold: vegetative, sensitive, and intellectual. The vegetative power has three genera: growth and nourishment. The first and second are discussed in the book on generation. The third is discussed in the book on nourishment. The sensitive powers are: The text appears to be written in an ancient or medieval script, possibly Latin. I will attempt to clean and translate it to modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\nThe text reads: \"Three in kind stir to seek and move a place, first the sense apprehends. Secondly, appetite urges motion. Thirdly, motion executes the act of the sensible. A sensitive object varies in three ways according to the sense: one way, the sense is affected by it or enters into the animal, and this is determined in the book on sleep and wakefulness. For sleep is almost like a withdrawal of the senses. Wakefulness, on the other hand, is an operation of the senses in operation regarding the sensible, and this is determined in the book on the sense and the sensed. Thirdly, it is an operation of the senses, the return from the likeness or image to the thing itself, in which there is hope, and this is treated in the book on memory and recall. Or it follows the motive power, which moves the locomotion, as is handed down in the book on the movements of the heavens. It is a special treatise on inspiration and respiration. The soul makes a special motion in the lungs.\" The text describes the role of the heart in attracting and moving things, leading to an understandable concept about the intellect. It continues that the intellect is divided into possible and active, and the possible is what can be made and the agent is what makes it. Our intellect is drawn to fantasies as the eyes are to colors, and it is determined in the third part of this treatise. The information about the intellect, as written in the treatise that deals only with the intellect and the intelligible, is followed in the third part with information about the soul, which we inquire about in terms of its final sufficiency. It is not good, as if to say, but without knowledge of the soul, no good comes to us. This knowledge of the soul is beneficial because it is a commentator on three modes. First, it profits for the knowledge of truth about natural things. Whence the commentator is the most noble of sciences. This text appears to be written in old Latin, and it seems to be discussing the importance and benefits of the study of natural history. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nAnimalia enim suis nobilissima corporibus generantur et corruunt. Anima autem est quod nobilius aliis obisque sunt in aialibus, sine cognitione cuius cognosciur aliia: quia est principium essentiae et forma animalium, et primus modus utilitatis huius scientiae est quia iuvat ad scientiam naturalem. Secundus autem modus est quia iuvat ad scientiam moralem. Hoc ipsum scientiam pluribus scientiis dat principia plura, ut scientia moralis dat eligentia et rationem et prudentiam et multa alia quae reguntur civibus in moribus. Terciius autem iuumentum huius scientiae est quia proficit ad scientiam divinam. In hac scientia enim manifestatur quod intellectus est. In hac scientia manifestatur veritas intellectualis ex qua debetur in cognitione substantiarum separatarum. Manifestat quod in intellectuali sunt abstracta De his aut omnibus est primus physis et hoc ita hoc scientiam facit tria bona sive tria iuumenta, ideoque potest dici de ea. This text appears to be written in an ancient or medieval script, possibly Latin. I will attempt to clean and translate it to modern English while preserving the original content as much as possible.\n\nThe text reads: \"quod scribitur Sapienti. vij. Veneruti ecia michi multa bona per iter cum illa &c. Honorabiliae: Liber iste cuius expositione intendimus dividi in duas partes. in proemio et tractatu. Secunda ibi. Videt autem terco poit intuere ibi. Inquirimus ater circa intuenti difficultatem ibi. Omnino autem quinto ondit cui perti phie supponat hoc scientia ibi. Dnbitatioue autem.\n\nPrimo ergo onditur quod hoc scientia digna est et pauca prudentiae ratione phi talis Sciencia que excedit alias in dignitate subjecti & certitudine ea digna et pauca. Sciencia de aia de homo ergo &c.\n\nCirca hanc rationem sic procedit phus quod scientia speculativa est de numero honorabilium. Secundo quod una scientia excedit alia duobus modis sca in subjeto & certitudine. Tertio concludit propositum.\n\nQuantum ad pauidem, de Opmanites noticia speculativa de numero bonorum honorabilium. Quatuor ad secundum subiungitur. Magis alia scientia dicimus.\"\n\nCleaned and translated text:\n\n\"This text is addressed to the Wise. The god Veneruti often gives me many good things during my journey, and this book is dedicated to the honorable. It is divided into two parts: the introduction and the main text. In the second part, it is seen. The third part explains the reason for this. We inquire about the difficulty of this matter. However, it is certainly worth considering this science.\n\nFirstly, this science is worthy of respect and a little wisdom, as it surpasses other sciences in dignity of subject and certainty. It is the science of the heavens and the world.\n\nRegarding this reasoning, the natural philosopher says that speculative science is concerned with the number of honorable things. Secondly, one science surpasses others in subject and certainty in two ways. Thirdly, this is confirmed by the proposed argument.\n\nAs for the fourth part, the Opmanites' speculative knowledge about the number of honorable things is added.\" The nobler one is either more certain or, because it is more excellent and marvelous in its subjects. The commentator on geometry surpasses astrology in the nobility of its subjects, if it were to say that two sciences exceed one another because one science exceeds in one thing and is exceeded in another, as astrology exceeds geometry in subjects and is exceeded in certainty of demonstration. And note that the excess which is from the part of the subject is greater and more essential. Its sign is this: because we desire to know more about nobler things than about less noble ones, albeit to a lesser degree, through certainty.\n\nMoreover, this is also the reason because a science takes its species from the object, and therefore it respects the nobility that is taken from the object more essentially than that which is submitted from the mode of action. I call the mode of action certainty. The philosopher concludes this regarding the third [aspect]. Therefore, let us reasonably place the animus [soul or mind] with respect to both certainty and the subject. This text appears to be written in an old form of Latin, likely from the medieval period. I will translate it into modern English while preserving the original meaning as much as possible.\n\nThe text reads: \"This is a story, that is to say, a science in the first place, before other sciences, as the more distinguished one in natural and mathematical sciences. But it does not apply to the subject in divine science. Therefore, the commentator states that this science exceeds others, besides divine science. It is also clear that it exceeds others in certainty, for everyone knows that he has a soul, and every certainty arises from the soul and the innate light given to it. From this, something is certain for us: that it is in agreement with the natural light and therefore this light is the rule and measure of all certainties.\n\nNext follows: It seems evident. Where it has been shown that this science is worthy of being shown, it is shown that it is useful and can be a reason of this kind. This science that profits for every truth and especially for the truth of nature is useful. The knowledge of the soul itself profits for every truth and especially for the truth concerning the soul, that is, for cognition.\"\n\nCleaned text: This is a science, the most distinguished one in natural and mathematical sciences, as it deals with the subject, which is the soul. It does not apply to the subject in divine science. This science exceeds others, besides divine science, in certainty, as everyone knows they have a soul, and every certainty arises from the soul and the innate light given to it. This agreement with natural light makes it the rule and measure of all certainties. It is evident that this science is worthy of being shown, as it is useful and can serve as a reason for this purpose. This science, which profits for every truth and especially for the truth concerning the soul, is useful, as the knowledge of the soul itself profits for every truth and especially for cognition. Animals are a major part of natural things, and in producing for the nature of animals, it contributes to that which is the major part of natural things. As for the knowledge of the soul, it is the formal and essential principle of animals, and therefore animals cannot be known unless the soul is known. Animals are a major part of natural things and in producing for the nature of animals, it contributes to that which is the major part of natural things. It has been said above that knowledge of the soul contributes to all truth \u2013 to natural science, to morality, and to the divine. However, it can be said that it contributes to all truth: because the soul within itself has a light which is the exam and measure of all things.\n\nAs for the evidence of what has been said, someone might ask: whether the soul is a science. It seems not, because a science is about things that can be intelligible. But the soul cannot be intelligible.\n\nOn the contrary, it has been said by philosophers that the soul can be the first science, because there is no defect in the knowable from the soul's side. This is spoken of as the knowable, in which there is a subject and the parts of the subject and passions. From this, knowledge of the knowable arises, as passions are predicated of the subject and its parts. The soul has senses, both vegetative and intellectual. The vegetative part has nourishment, growth, and generation, and senses have passions such as seeing and hearing. The intellectual part, on the other hand, has the capacity to act and be potential and passive, and has passions such as understanding and abstracting. Nor is there a defect in the knowing subject because it can love to understand itself and this: for it has the capacity for reflection. Through an object, we come to know in act, and through act we come to know ourselves. It should be noted that although our intellect does not exceed sense in origin, it far surpasses it in the scope of knowledge, for even sensible things become intelligible to us. The object is in itself. Regarding the argument that the intellect understands this object not to be in the sense that it becomes in the intellect, secondly, someone might ask why this science seems to be about the honorable good, not the good. Firstly, honor should be given to those who seek it for their own sake, but this science does not seek it for its own sake. Therefore, the wise is more praiseworthy than the honorable.\n\nOn the contrary, it is said that scientific knowledge is about the honorable good not simply, but in general. This is clear because science is the perfection of man, and therefore it is good for man. It is also clear that it is about the honorable in the general sense because it is said that they seek it for their own sake, as the first ethical good.\n\nHowever, speculative sciences are sought for the sake of knowing, the second for metaphysical reasons, and not for the sake of work as in practice. That it is about the honorable in general and not simply is clear because it is simply about the good. honorabilia est quod absolute quaeritur sicut felicitas. Scientia aet speculativa non est homini. Sed hoc tantum habet respectu practicae. Tertio quereret aliquis ut hoc scientia sit dignior aliis, quod non. Illa dignior est quae est de nobiliore subjecto, sed metaphysica est de nobiliori subjecto quam scientia de anima. Ad oppositum est phusis. Dicendum est quod scientia de anima nobilior est simpleiter, sed in genere scientiarum Ratio ad hoc est quare nobilitas scientiae debet considerari penes illud quod est ultimum eius. Ultimum autem in quod potest scientia de anima est anima intellectualis. Ibi enim futur speculatio eius. Anima intellectualis autem est in confinio substanciarum separatarum et substanciarum sensibilium, et per consequens scientia de anima videtur tenere gradum medium inter metaphysicam et scientiam naturalem, que est de puris sensibilibus. Ex quo sequitur quod est nobilior inter scientias naturales.\n\nAd argumentum. patet quod non est simplicemore noble than any science, as stated, but only in kind. One and the same commentator states that it is nobler than others besides divine science. Quodcumque quereret aliquis ut hanc scientiam sit certior alis. Vide quod non quia iste scientiae, which are in the highest degree of certainty, are clearer to others, but rather because these sciences are clearer which proceed from cause to effect, not vice versa. Quia illae procedunt a prioribus, iste a posteriors. Sed scientiae mathematicae procedunt a causa ad effectum; hic autem scientia procedit ab effectu ad causas et ab posteris prioribus, quia per obiecta in venit in actus, et per actus in potentias. Ad oppositum est philosophus. Ad hoc questioni videtur respondeere Themistius et dicere quod hec scientia certior est quia per naturam et scientiam eius est certitudo in alis scientiis propterquod est unicumquodque et id magis. If the animam faciat. certitudo is more certain of itself than of anything else. This science, however, is called more certain not simply but in the realm of natural sciences. The reason for this is that natural sciences proceed from effects to causes, and therefore the natural science that proceeds from more certain effects is also more certain. For instance, this is the science of the soul, since nothing is more familiar to us than seeing and hearing and similar things that occur in us. Following this line of thought, the response to all arguments will be given.\n\nNext comes the question: In what respect is the dignity and utility of this science placed? Because science intends to investigate the substance and passions of the soul, as it says in the text. We should consider and come to know the nature and substance of the soul itself, and then consider whatever happens to the soul. Accidents and passions of the soul are in a twofold difference, since some are proper to it. passiones ipios anime sicut intelligere. Quedam aute sunt communes tocius coniuncti que insunt ipis animalibus sicut concupiscere proprietates que sunt proprie ipios anime. Videtur quod no, quia si aliqua esset esset ipsum intelligere. Hoc autem non est quia intelligere est ipios coniuncti per animam. Ad oppositum est physis. Ad hoc potest dici quod commentator huc passus exponit duobus modis. Primum modum intendit dicere philosophus quod contingentia animae quedam sunt que appropriantur anime eo quod anima non indiget corpore in habendo has contingentes passiones sicut est in imaginationem per intellectum ipsum intelligere, quod quidem non indiget corpore sicut instrumento. Alia sunt que contingunt animae que non sunt sine instrumento corporoe sicut concupiscere. Talia emissus dicit commentator continguit corpori propter animam. Alio modo exponit commentator hunc passus dicens quod philosophus forte per passionibus propriis anime intelligit illas que primo. existunt in anima. secundo in corpore vt s\u0304sus et ima\u00a6ginatio {per} alias intelligit illas que existunt in anima per corpus vt sompnus et vigilia que incipiunt ab euaporatione cibi et efficiuntur ligamentu\u0304 vel solutio virtutu\u0304 ani\u00a6me. \u00b6Ad argumentum p\u0290. nam no\u0304 est intentio philosophi quin in\u2223telligere sit hominis per animam. sed {quod} intelligere ita est anime {quod} non indigeat instrumento corpo\u2223reo. Notandu\u0304 est {quod} sm dictu\u0304 mo\u00a6dum adhuc possunt distingui passi\u00a6ones anime vt dicatur {quod} passio est duobus modis.

Dicim{us} enim {quod} anima patitur ex hoc {quod} in\u00a6telligit. Vtrum autem intellictio sit ab The object requires difficulty from the intellect or from both. In truth, the greatest difficulty is found here, as the philosopher has shown in this science. He makes it clear that there are two sources of difficulty. The first is the difficulty in defining the essence itself. The second is the difficulty in defining the defined essence itself. It should be considered that the first difficulty is twofold. The first difficulty is regarding the definition of the soul. The second difficulty is regarding the parts of its definition. The first, namely, is regarding the definition of the soul.\n\nRegarding the first, it should be noted that by definition, faith and certainty about the nature and substance of a thing are received. Since it is difficult to receive such a definition, and especially in the case of the soul, which is a spiritual substance, it is difficult to grasp its nature and substance. This is what the philosopher attempts to prove and sets forth his intended conclusion. He then proves it there. But what is the question at hand?\n\nRegarding the first, he says that the number of difficulties is among the most difficult. certificationem de ipsa substantia animae. Deinde sequitur. Cum enim sit quaestio communis, quo probat intentum et potest esse ratio talis? Vel una ars communis est accipiendi definitionem animae et definitiones aliorum, vel propria? Sed utroque modo est difficultas accipere definitionem, ergo omni modo acceptio definitionis est difficultas. Circa hanc rationem, primo quid est? Cuius difficultatis ratio prima est, quod circa unumquodque diffeasible oportet accipere quis modus definendi. Secunda ratio est, quia cum manifestum fuerit de modo, puta quod est demonstratio, sicut dicit Hippocras, aut divisio, sicut dixit Plato, aut compositio, sicut dixit Aristoteles, secundum posteriores, adhuc restant dubitaciones. Restat enim quaerere ex cuiusmodi principiis est ipsum diffeasible, quia aliorum diffeasibilium sunt alia principia definitionis, sicut sunt alia principia numerorum et superficierum. Notandum est, quod est una via communis ad inveniendum definitiones rerum. The puta division and composition are as it can be had in the seventh metaphysics. This is clear in the example. Supposing that aima is an entity, we must determine what kind of entity it is. Some things are substance and some are accidents. We must distinguish and compose them. Aima is not an accidental entity, therefore it is substantial. Substance, in turn, must be subdivided. It is either matter, substance as form, or composite substance. Aima is not substance as matter nor as composite, therefore it is substance as form, and we must proceed in this way by dividing and composing until we come to the proper definition of the soul in its species. From this it is clear that the way to definitions is not demonstration, as Hippocrates said. The reason for this is that a definition shows the essence of a thing, not the thing itself, but rather demonstrates the inherence of the property in the subject. subiecto nec via inueniendi diffinitiones est diuisio tantum sicut ponebat plato: quia diuisio est propter compositionem Ad hoc enim fit diuisio in propri\u00a6as differencias vt componatux {pro}\u2223pria differencia cum proprio gene\u00a6re ex quo sequitur {quod} {con}positio {per} se facit diffinitionem. diuisio au\u0304t tm\u0304 {per} accn\u0304s qr no\u0304 nisi {per} {con}positionem. \u00b6Deinde sequitur.

Here is a cleaned version of the text:\n\nQuedam est potencia quedam actus. Considerandum est ergo anima sit idem ea substantia que sunt in potencia aut magis sit endelechia et actus. Hec enim potencia et actus non modicum differunt, quia sunt oppositae differentiae que commentator in exposicio reperiuntur in omnibus predicamentis. Notandum est super illo verbo. Primum autem fortassis quod notabiliter dixit, phus fortassis: quia potencia et actus non sunt directe in genere nec in specie, sed magis principia eorum que sunt in genere. Et ideo anima non sit directe in specie, sed magis est per speciei. Quod autem poterecipit in potencia, si tu accipiatur potencia que fit actus, hoc modo potencia et actus sunt directe in genere, quia frumentum in actu et frumentum in potentia non sunt eandem specie. Licet sub alio modo et de tal potentia et tal actu intellegitur verbum commentatoris, scilicet quod sunt in quolibet. The following text discusses the difficulties in defining substance, specifically essential substance. It notes that there are two opinions regarding the nature of the soul, with some arguing it is a certain power or humidity, while others argue it is an actual something. The text also mentions that potentiality can be described in two ways: receivable, in the way that material things are in potentiality and objective, in the way that grain is in potentiality and becomes grain in actuality. However, neither of these modes should be called potentiality in the strict sense, as the first mode refers to something that is perfected by act, which is more properly attributed to the animating principle rather than the potentiality itself. The second mode, objective potentiality, does not inform us about the actuality of the soul as anima does not follow in this sense. The text further notes that the difficulty lies in the definition and understanding of these concepts. circa ispum differentiae sunt tres. Prima est de anima, quod est totum potentiale. Secunda de anima, quod est totum universale ibi. Et utrum. Tertia est de habitudine potentiae ad actum et vtrusque ad obiectum ibi.\n\nAd evidenciam primi, notandum est commentator in expositone huius libri, quod de pertinabilitate animae fuit duplex opinio. Una Platonis posuit animam esse divisibile, subiectum quod virtus intellectiva est in cerebro, concupiscibilis in corde. Naturaliter autem, id est nutritiva, in epate. Phusos autem posuit, quod anima est una subiectum et plena virtutibus et potenciis hoc videtur patet, quod dicit, de considerandum est, an anima fit divisibilis, quod Plato ponebat, an sit impartibilis, subiectum habens tamen plures virtutes, sicut ponebat philosophus. Hoc enim non modicum differt. Sicut dicit Themistius. Nam divisio primo modo sequestrat supposita. Divisio autem potentiarum et virtutum secundum modum. non est\npenes supposita sed penes actio\u0304es. Notandu\u0304 {quod} totum potenciale ori\u2223tur ex forme eleuatione. na\u0304 ex hoc dicitur totu\u0304 potenciale quia forma no\u0304 est artata ad vnu\u0304 actum tantu\u0304 sed potest se extendere ad plures a\u00a6ctus qua\u0304to em\u0304 forma inferior est tanto magis videtur esse artata et limitata\u00b7 forma autem superior mi\u00a6nus limitata est. Cum ergo ani\u2223ma maxime hominis non sit arta\u2223ta ad vnam actionem sed se exten\u00a6dit ad plures dicitur esse totu\u0304 po\u2223tenciale et pote\u0304cia quelibet dicitur pars illius tocius sicut intellect{us} dicitur {per}s anime et hoc e\u0304 quod di\u2223cit Themisteus {quod} anima est {con}ten\u00a6tiua multa{rum} potenciarum ita {quod} no\u0304 habet diuersitatem in re sed diuer\u00a6sitatem in agere. \u00b6Deinde sequi\u00a6tur\u00b7 Et vtrum\u00b7 Vbi ponitur diffi\u00a6cultas de toto vniuersali qr consi\u2223derandu\u0304 est vtrum anima sit vni\u2223uersale sicut genus an sicut spe\u2223cies & primo quidem ponit philo\u2223sophus {quod} hoc debet considerari\u00b7 se\u00a6cundo oste\u0304dit {quod} consideratio est vti\u00a6lis ibi. Nunc quidem em\u0304 \u00b6Qua\u0304\u00a6tum ad primum Considerandum est, quod ovis aia sit similis spei vel non, id est, quod omnes animas conveniant in specie ita, ut universalis animarum unitas sit communitas speciei in omnibus suis individuis. Si contingat, quod animas non sint similes speciei, considerandum est secundum quod tantum drant specie et non genera. An ecia cuique hoc, quod drant species differant genera?\n\nNunc quidem enim. Quod consideratio utilis est et duobus modis hoc ostendit. Secunda ibi. Primo, consideratio utilis est ne incidamus, ut dicit Commentator, qui Platonis de anima hominis credens considerabat de omni anima, quia ponens omnem animam eiusdem speciei, falsum est. Et hoc est quod dicit littera. Nunc, dicentes de anima et querentes, id est aliqui antiqui tractatus de anima, videntur intendere de anima humana solum. Credentes per hoc, in nisi habita specie qua habet Plato. quiescere. I have a color yet, which color is it, white or black, and it has the hope of resting. Roam is at this, for it is of what kind or nature it is and this is why it is of two natures and therefore it is of what kind induces two entities and qualities, and through this connection it is not perfect definition. For a perfect definition seeks one entity and form, not fragmentable into other forms. But this is not in the genus Genus, or it is nothing, for it is not one form. An entity and one convertible are, or if something is, it is conceived as something posterior, and fragmentable into various species and forms. This is why Formidandu is put universally in aia, so that it is not hidden, as each of these is a ratio, like an animal is one ratio, like a genus is, or like a corpus celestis. If it is a ratio like theirs, an animal that is, should be placed there. This text appears to be written in an ancient or medieval Latin script, and it contains several errors and abbreviations that need to be expanded and corrected for modern readers. Here is a cleaned-up version of the text:\n\n\"Est quid genus aut nihil est, quod non est una natura ens aut convertuntur, aut si aliquid est, est quid posterius. Quodquidque conceptum posterius a duabus naturis specificatum est, sicut genus. Notandum est, quod commutator aliter exposuit istud, assumens quod physis voluit hoc ondere. Definitions generum et species non sunt definitiones rerum universaliis explicite, imo si aliud est, non est aliquid, sicut Plato ponebat universalia per se subsistere extra animam. Sed est aliquid per intellectum agente faciente universitatem in rebus, et per consensu magis est intentionalibus quam rei, et est universale quod posterius rebus a quibus accipit. Quodsi hoc verba ista sive aia sint quid universale, sicut genus, sicve species, intelligendum est, quod definitio sit ipsius, sicut quidquid extra animam est, est particularium et individuale.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"What is a genus or nothing, if not one nature is an ens or are they converted, or if something is, what is posterior? Whatever concept is specified by two natures as a genus. It should be noted that the commentator explained this differently, assuming that nature wanted it to be so. Definitions of genera and species are not definitions of universal things explicitly, indeed, if anything else is, it is not something, as Plato held that universals subsist by themselves outside the soul. But there is something through the intellect acting and causing universality in things, and through consensus it is more intentional than the thing itself, and it is a universal that is posterior to things that receive it. Therefore, whatever these words, whether they are aia or not, are universal, whether as a genus or as a species, it should be understood that the definition is of that thing itself, just as whatever is outside the soul is particular and individual.\" \"Under the entire extent, it is seen that this kind of genus receives unity from unity of nature, not unity of reason. However, against this, Philo says that there is no genus, for he does not say that there is one nature. It is said that Themistius' genus does not say that there is one nature. Regarding this consideration, it is asked whether the definition of the soul is like that of a genus or of a species. A genus is a concept or summary collected from the thin similarity of singulars. However, nature and form will it be for this opinion of Themistius. Where he says that in the physical world, there is no composition in a genus but in a species. If beforehand he had said that genus is one nature like species, it would have been composition in the genus as in the species. Furthermore, this same nature is in this animal, where he says that equivocations lurk in the genus rather than in the species. If, however, the genus were like the species, it would be so.\" \"In general and in species, one nature is not equivocal, and so it seems that the intention of Themistius agrees. One way to distinguish one nature is that one mode says one nature exists commonly in itself, outside of particulars, and this mode does not call the nature void as the commentator claimed. Another mode says one concept is a formal concept that can be broken down into other formal concepts. And only a species says one nature because it is not divided by forms as a genus is. Since below a species, various concepts do not lie hidden, therefore, according to it, equivocations do not lie hidden. A genus, therefore, says a tenuous concept because it really signifies two natures that it divides. It is said in five metaphysical ways. To argue for this, it should be said that the unity of reason in a genus does not signify one nature but suffices if it is taken from what appears to be.\" communis duabus speciebus, ut est sentire vel aliquid homo secundus quereret aliquis propter dictu commentatoris. Universalis est an rem. Quod videt sic. Quod est Auic. v. metaphysicarum encia hocis de se nec est una nec plures, sed ea indivisas ad hoc quod fit una vel plures.\n\nEst enim una duabus in uno individuo plures aut duabus in pluribus individuis. Si essentia hocis in aliquo priore est indivisis, videtur quod in aliquo priore habeat ea non individuale, vel ut dictum est, in posteriori quod natura sit individua et quod dictum est de essentia hocis potest dici de qualaquam alia essentia.\n\nAd oppositum est commentator. Dicendum est ad quaestione quod commentator dicit universalis nihil habet ante rem. Natura enim aliud quod est principium huius vel illius aliud non precedit ipsum pertectere, sicut Plato dicit, vel si praecedat ipsum non possumus cognoscere res naturae nisi cognitis causis. From what the commentator says, there are no unusual things present in themselves, or if they are, they are not necessary to understand the substance of the things. This is the case with the \"is\" that the commentator responds with, which is something that exists before a thing is said to exist essentially and in reality, and something that exists universally after things. Some argue that what the author is talking about is not more than what exists in our concept of it, since it is not in effect for everyone, as Physis in the first says that what is universal is after things. Some argue that what the author is talking about is not more than what exists in our concept, or from which it is not in effect, as it is supposed by all, because if it exists, it is not other than in our concept. From this, it is not possible to argue that something exists outside of ourselves, particulars, because it is not. esse essencie quia existencia non est nisi particulariue nec esse essencie quia encia est ex hoc est quia dat esse encie. Quia essencia reducitur ad genus causae formalis, quia ergo ante res non dat aliquid esse, ideo ante particularia non est esse exncie.\n\nTertio quidquidquis vult universale sit in rebus vel sit posterius eis, videtur quod in rebus universale predicat de rebus et quod predicat de alio est in illo de quo predicatur.\n\nAd oppositum dictum est philosophi. Dicendum est quod in universali est duo considerare quid natura subicitur intensioni universalis et ipsam intentionem.\n\nQuod ad primum est, in rebus humana non est in hoc et illo. Quod ad secundum est, in intellectu non dico quod longitudo sit sine latitudine, si hoc diceret esset falsum, sed considerat longitudine non considero latitudine. Eo modo intelligo non dico quod essentia huius sit in effectu idividuum, sed considero ea idividua et pter idividua. hoc considerando, hoc vel illud: quod ad veritatem enunciatis sufficit, quod natum sit sub iussionali sit in re de affirmat vel non sit quid est negativum. Amplius, postquam positae sunt difficultates de anima, quod est totum potentiale & totum universale. In istis queritur de potentia et actu et obiecto, quod prius cognoscutur et dividit hoc per duas partes: quaeritur hoc sermo. Secundo respondet tacite ad questioni ibi. Videtur autem quatuor ad pneumam tria facit, quod sermo unum supponit. Secundo addit relinquit aliud quam difficultum ibi. Difficile autem. Tercio querit propositum ibi: quae ad primum supponit, quod non sunt mansueta subiecta sicut ponebat Plato. Secundum una hoc est subiectum plures partes potentiales, hoc autem supposito, quaestio utrum opus est prius quaerere totum potentiale \u00b7i. totum potentiale an partes ita deueniam in totum. Deinde sequitur Difficile autem. Vbi ex uno. It is supposed that there is one substance and that it moves several potentialities, which makes it difficult to determine which of these are native to it. That is, what is the natural diversity that I have supposed to be more than one substance? It is difficult for us to distinguish these parts and assign names to them that are distinct from one another. In some cases, they are manifestly such as between intellect and appetite. In others, they are latent. Where the grain is between intellect and imagination and sense, I believed that what was called intellect was a fantasy, for it is not possible to understand without a fantasy. Then follows the question of whether potentialities or acts come first, that is, whether we should consider potentialities before the whole or acts before potentialities. And it is also a question whether what is said is about potentialities or about acts. Intellect and sense are required for understanding others' potentials. And it will be declared what is to be scrutinized primarily about actions. Some may still question whether objects of actions and potentials are to be sought before potentials and actions. That is, whether the sensible is to be sought before sensing it, or whether the potential and the intelligible are to be sought by the intellect or the other way around.\n\nCommunicators may question some things, as we should proceed from those that are better known to us concerning those that are hidden from us, and in this they differ from sciences. In some sciences that are better known to us, there are precedents in nature, such as mathematics. In others, it is the other way around, such as in some parts of natural science.\n\nFurthermore, it seems that we have an answer to the question. For someone might have wondered from whom this art should begin. Whether it should be from the posterior, from the act, or from the prior, from the potential.\n\nTherefore, someone could inquire which way is the better one. The text appears to be written in an old form of Latin or a Latin-based shorthand. I will attempt to translate and clean the text as faithfully as possible to the original content.\n\nPossibilis Ad quod respondet physica quod sic.

Argument: Accidents lead in substance as the latter in the former, and substance in act as the former in the latter. Therefore, both ways are possible.\n\nRegarding this reasoning, physics proceeds as follows. In the first place, it puts forth that the definition of substance leads to accidents and conversely. The second shows which accidents this understanding refers to there. Since we have the third of the definition there, ois is.\n\nWhen it is said to the first that it is not only useful to know what something is in order to understand the causes of accidents inherent in substances, just as in mathematics we know what is right and what is oblique and what is plane. The surface and what a line are useful in understanding this passion, namely how many right angles are in the angles of a triangle, but conversely, they have made great progress in understanding what it is through long time.\n\nIt should be noted that physics, wanting to notify the ways that are prior examples, has exemplified in mathematics whose reason. est quas in mathematicis priora sunt quo ad naturam et ideo demonstrations mathematicae sunt certissime in primo gradu certitudinis. In natura libros ante frequentabamus, que priora sunt naturae et rem nobis magis occultae sunt, nobis magis manifesta. Tuquem operetur nos incipere a posterius et venire in priora. Ex quo sequitur, quod scientiae physicae in quibusdam non habent tantam certitudinem quam scientiae mathematicae. Phus exemplificat subiectum sicut lineam superficiem et passionibus sicut recto et obliquo, cuus ratio est quare ad cognoscendum passionem perfecte opus est quod concurrat quiditas passionis quam subiecti. Deinde sequitur, cum enim accidia ducit in sublunari, notandum est quod ad cognitionem accidiae nos non sequitur cognitio subjecti nisi accidia fuerint propria, essentialia et propinqua. Nos non habemus tradere fantasiam de accidentibus, scilicet cum. We have some knowledge about certain things concerning essential matters, and we had something to say about substances, especially about the substance of this [thing]. From this follows. Every demonstration shows that what is signified is the cause of the thing signified. The commentator continues this argument, saying that this agrees with every definition, except for an empty definition, which is a definition in name only, like the definition of a chimera, being a reason for a philosopher. This is what the text says about what it is - that the definition of the subject is demonstrated through objects. Therefore, whatever definitions are given about the subject, it is necessary to know its accidents, that is, the proper passions of the subject. It is not easy to imagine and conjecture about these accidents from these definitions. Manifestly, such definitions are dialectical, that is, extraneous, inappropriate, and all empty or vain. sequit finem per tales definitiones no sequimur noticiam accidentium. To this definition, one would first ask whether anyone wants to lead accidental things into knowledge of substances, since they act only within their own species and accidents are other things than substances. On the contrary, it is said that if the intellect cannot exceed the boundaries of its knowledge through accidents, it would not come into contact with substance, since substance exceeds the accident. But this is false, because some term of knowledge exceeds the principle. One principle of knowledge was once in the sense, and the term was not there. Just as the intellect becomes cognizant of other things through cognitions and becomes cognizant of natural things through cognitions, and becomes cognizant of separate substances through cognitions. Therefore, it is possible that the intellect can subsume more than what is given by sense or the principle of cognition. Therefore, through accidents, it has come to be in substance.\n\nTo the argument, it is said that: The text appears to be in Latin and contains some errors likely due to Optical Character Recognition (OCR). I will attempt to clean the text while being faithful to the original content. I will correct OCR errors and translate the Latin into modern English.\n\nThe text reads: \"An accident is what it is in the substance in which it occurs, and therefore a notice about the substance is like a notice about the cause, but this does not solve the problem. To bring a notice about the substance into the notice of an accident, there must be such an accident present. Secondly, one might ask about this verb 'oiis': whether its definition as a subject is the principle of demonstration or not. It must be said that regarding this question, there are two opinions. What is meant by 'it is the principle of demonstration because'? Whether the passion falls under the reason of which it is reducible to the subject.\"\n\nCleaned text: An accident is what it is in the substance in which it occurs, and therefore a notice about the substance is like a notice about the cause, but this does not solve the problem.

The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of subjects and predicates in philosophy. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nratio et definitione subjecti et per conn\u0113s p\u0101mam passionem, que est in subjecto reducibilis est ad subjectum, sed non per passionem p\u0101mam, ergo per definitione subjecti, quae exp\u014dnunt principia subjecti. Pro hac opinionem videt Phus IV, phycitorum, ubi dicit quod definitio subjecti est causa quae sunt in subjecto. Et Phus V, metaphysice in fine, ubi dicit quod quodquid predicatur aliquid de alio ibi cooperat quaerere propter quid, sed quodquid predicatur de se non contingit quaerere propter quid. Sed prima passio de subjecto predicat aliud de alio, ergo contingit quaerere propter quid. Ergo demonstratio quaerere propter quid est quaerere sicut demonstrativa, sed hoc propter quod non potest esse passio p\u0101m, ergo definitio subjecti \u00b6Alius dicuit quod definitio subjecti ita est principium quod non est medium. Est enim radix, olim demonstrationum tamen non assumit ad demonstrandum. Ad hoc est p\u0101ma ratio. Quod autem diffinitio aut est principium. demonstration is either a demonstration's position or it concludes in a demonstration. This is a division by opposition and through contradiction, there is no room for anything else in a demonstration. They also proved that what is medium in demonstrations is not the demonstration itself, but rather the posterior subject and its passive suffering. This definition, however, is not of the subject but of the passion. What Tenedus said about this matter was sufficient according to five methods of metaphysics.\n\nThirdly, someone might ask why the definition of what is not the principle of a demonstration is vain. To this, I respond with the comment that this question arises because in this definition, something false is either received or something remote is brought in as if it were near, following from the notions that originate from the immediate premises.\n\nDoubtlessness. at this point in the text, the Vulgate states that the soul supposes a certain form in matter, which is considered natural and argues thus. This form falls under certain definitions of matter, and therefore, in natural philosophy, it is considered in the case of the soul. Regarding this matter, Quarles observed that matter enters into the definition of the soul in three ways. First, he observed that the soul's passions join the body. Second, he observed that the definitions of the soul's passions contradict matter there. If this is so, Quarles places a doubt. Whether the soul's passions are in the body or not, or whether the soul conceives the body's passions or not, or whether there is any passion at all - this is the question at hand. Quarles solved it thus. He saw that:\n\nFour things concerning the soul: what it is, what it does, what it suffers, and what it desires. The first two, what it is and what it does, are clear and not in question. But the last two, what it suffers and what it desires, are not so clear and are the subject of doubt. Whether the soul suffers passions in the body or not, or whether the soul conceives the body's passions or not, or whether there is any passion at all - these are the questions. Quarles resolved this doubt by considering the natural philosophy of the soul. \"operaatio propriius ipisius aie que non concinent corpori. Hoc enim quid aperiam ea necessario non leue. Notandum est quod ideo talis consideratio necessaria est propter hoc solvet questio qua quaeritur utrum sciat naturalis consideret de aia qua probatur fuisse quod oes passiones aie communicat corpori. Quod consideratio earum pertinet ad naturalem vel forte talis consideratio fuisset necessaria quia multos desiderant scire ut aia sit separabilis.\n\nAd hoc autem magna via est videre utrum aliqua passio aie propria ipsi aie separabilis est quia natura nichil produxit quod talis operaatio sit separabilis cuipiam ipsa aia.\n\nDeinde sequitur: Videtur antea. Quaestio solvetur et duo facit quia primo ostendit in quibus passionibus non habemus duos quaestio et in quibus sic. \" Secondly, he solved the question there, whether the soul, and this, that passions exist in those in whom the soul neither acts nor suffers, so that in such cases the body is necessary to compel the soul as much as to anger, desire, consider. Such things are exercised on the bodily organ, and it is uncertain in these whether there is doubt about the faculties of the intellect. Understanding is most similar to the self, that is, it seems to be joined to the body because the soul's understanding does not appear to affect the body.\n\nSecondly, he solved the question there, about which he was debating whether it was about understanding. Next, about other passions there, it appears that the first is divided into two, because understanding is connected to the body in two ways: first, because potentiality communicates itself to the body in some way through the intellect in our mind. The first reason can be formulated as follows. Potentiality cannot act without phantasy in some way, and communicate itself to the body. est homo quia quia fantasiam opinio aliquorum non distinguebat inter intellectum et sensum vel veram opinio quia intellectus conjunctus ad intelligendum indiget fantasmatis. Quod sequitur, quod non contingit intelligere esse ratio et est talis, si intelligere est propriam animam vel aliam passionem contingentem ipsum animam in intelligendo nullo modo communicari corpore. Sed rectum inquantum rectum competit tangere speram in puncto, et tamen non tangit eam nisi si ipsum peripatetes ad corpus. Sed rectum inquantum multa accidunt, sic tangere enea speram in puncto non tangit recte. Ipsum autem ipsum rectum ipsum peripatetes et cuidam corpori supplere competit multae operaciones, et tamen non exercet eas sine corpore.\n\nNotandum. The ancient readers did not make this passage an exception, arguing that if there is anything of the soul or passion that can be communicated to the body in any way, the soul itself must be perceptible and exist in itself. If there is no operation or passion in the soul beforehand, it cannot be affected: it will be like a straight line, which does not touch a speck naturally and truly unless it is in matter. And this manner of reading is worth noting, where it says that \"propositions hypothetically and continuously in which the consequent follows are necessarily destroyed before we can establish the opposite of the antecedent.\" For example, Themistius uses this method to argue that if a \"s\" swims, it swims well. But if it does not swim, it does not follow that it does not swim well. Therefore, it does not swim and Aristotle argues thus in the former. \"If a destruction precedes it, argues he thus. If there is any operation proper to it, then I am subjected to it. If there is no proper operation, then I am not subjected to it. One proceeds to the answers and in such destruction, when the preceding one is destroyed, someone might wish to understand the communication of the body. He sees that he cannot. For if it communicates through an organ, it is not in the intellect in this way and so on.\n\nAgainst this is said the phrase that the intellect is either fantasy or is without fantasy. It must be said that in the explanation of this text, there is a doubt regarding virtues and operations of the soul. The first question is whether they communicate with the body and whether they communicate with it in any way or not. Although the intellect united to the body does not communicate with it through an organic instrument, it does communicate with it. The fantasy communicates or understands the body, but it is not without errors.\" \"organica corpus cooperant, nec consequent ex hoc sic dixit Alexandrer: si comprehendas conjugantibus corpora, quod propter hoc sit gnosibilis et corruptibilis, nisi quod conjungis modum intellegendi quod aliud intellegas, intellegis conjunctus a seperato. Ad argumentum dico quod illud quod conjugat corpora non utitur corporaliter sicut instrumento, sed quasi objeto. Unde intellectus communicat fantasiam non nisi quia fantasia subministrat sibi obiectum intelligibile. Deinde sequitur: Videur autem. Quod post ostensum est, intellectus communicat corpori hic ostenditur quod aliae passiones communicant corpori. Primo ponitur conclusio in tentativa. Secundo probat ibi. Simul enim hoc dictur. Videur autem et omnes animas passiones esse cum corpore, id est communicari corpori. Ut ira, mansuetudo, timor, misericordia.\" cofuidentia. Yet joy and love and hate follow this, Simul enim. Where the conclusion is not feigned and the proof is such, Every passion that alters and suffers the common soul and animated body. But the passions mentioned are of this kind, therefore and so on.\n\nRegarding this matter, the nature proceeds as follows. First, it posits the force of this reason. Second, it proves it there. Judging passions and this is the organic virtue.\n\nThen it follows. The judge judges. Where it proves the force of reason through signs, according to the sign. Yet, the first sign is that when someone is more or less disposed towards these passions, it is not because these passions are not communicated to the body, but because the body is at the same time borne in these passions. And this is what the text says, \"The judge judges, because sometimes, with harsh and manifest passions and those that collide, someone is exacerbated, that is, provoked to fear or anger by small things.\" debilis passionibus. And this, as he attends to his body, seems to say that there are other and other dispositions of the body that are contingent on other and other provocations, for the body will not be affected by these passions unless it is subjected to them. Sometimes, indeed, as the commentator says, fear is a great and provoking cause of anger, and yet someone is cautioned to be moderate and sometimes overcome it. This is a disposition of the body.\n\nFurthermore, it is to be noted that all passions appear to communicate with the body, but they communicate more and less. Some, however, communicate in which no physical alteration is perceived. Sense and imagination and other sensitive apprehensions of the soul are not without the reception of forms in the organs of the senses, which reception is an alteration of some sort but not a physical one. However, some passions are not without motion of the body. alteration of a physical nature changing bodies or body parts like habits. joy and fear, and other things which a philosopher illustrates more than others concerning the passions of the soul because communication to the body is more apparent in these than in others. Then follows, if it is so. Where these are concluded, it is clear that the definitions of these passions are both matter and therefore it is said. If it is so, namely that these passions communicate to the body, it is manifest that the reasons, that is, the differences, of these passions are in this, for no other reason. Therefore, the cause must be added which explains the causality of the accident in the subject, as it is said that an eclipse is a defect of light in the moon due to the earth's interposition between the sun and the moon. The same is true of anger and others. For if it is said that anger is an appetite contrary to or less than the pleasure of those who cause it, one might ask:\n\nIs knowledge of the soul known? The text appears to be written in old Latin script and contains some errors. I will first transcribe it into modern Latin, then translate it into English.\n\nTranscription:\n\nNaturalis videtur non quia scientia quae considerat de substantia abstracta non est naturalis, sed magis metaphysica. Sed hoc scientia considerat de intellectu, qui est abstractus et immixus, ut dictum est infra in tercio [\u00b6] Ad oppositum est lr\u0304a. Discidendum est quod de vegetabiliis et sensibilibus non est dubium quod sunt de speculatione scientiae naturalis. Cuius ratio est, quia scientia naturalis speculat de formis que sunt in materia. Talia autem sunt vegetabilia et sensibilia. Sed de intellectualibus dubium est. Sed tamen hoc dubium videbitur solvere secundo philosophorum. Volens enim investigare terminos & limites philosophiae naturalis, ait Vos [que] ad quantum igitur oporteret physicum cuivit organo corporo &c\u0304.\n\nDifferenter aut Quia phus fecit mentionem de definitione physica. Ideo ut materiae definitionis pateat, ondit quomodo diversi artifices diversimode definunt. Et primo quidem hoc facit. Secundo quia videtur fecisse digressionem, redeundo ad propositum ibi. Sed redeundum est. Tertio continuit se.\n\nTranslation:\n\nNatural science seems not to be so called because it considers abstract substance and not natural, but rather metaphysical. But this science considers the intellect, which is abstract and immixed, as stated below in the third [\u00b6] On the contrary, it is Lr\u0304a. It must be distinguished that vegetable and sensible things are not in doubt that they belong to the sphere of natural science. The reason for this is that natural science investigates forms that are in matter. Such things are vegetable and sensible. But about intellectual things there is doubt. However, this doubt will be resolved by the second philosophers. Wishing to investigate the limits and terms of natural philosophy, they say to us [que] as far as it is necessary for the physical to have an organic body and so on.\n\nDifferently, Quia [Phus] made mention of the definition of physics. In order for the matter of its definition to be clear, he adds how various craftsmen define it differently. And first, he does this. Second, it seemed that he made a digression, returning to the subject there. But we must return. Third, he continues. ad dicenda ibi. Intentes ad. Prima in quatuor, quia primo ostendit quod differt definitionem physcium et dialecticum secundo, physcium docet venari completam definitionem physciam ibi. Ratio quidem est. Primo ergo ponit differentiam inter dialecticum et physcium in definendo. Differenter enim definit physcium et dialecticum quia ipsoorum id est ipsarum passiones. Vt si debebat definiri ira, dialeticus physcium assignat materiam, dialecticum autem assignat formam et rationem. Notandum est quod dialecticus considerat rem secundum intentionem formalem per quam ponitur in predicamento et genere, non considerans ut in hoc subiecto vel illo et hoc, quia est artifex intellectualis et rationalis cui cura est de intentionibus, ut sit reducetur ad aliud quid.\n\nPrima in duas, quia primo ponit differentiam inter physcium et dialecticum, secundo docet completam definitionem physciam ibi. The ratio is that the first posits a difference between dialectic and physics in defining. Dialectic and physics define differently the very same things, viz., their passions. For instance, if anger is to be defined, dialectic assigns the matter, while dialectic assigns the form and reason. It should be noted that dialectic considers the thing according to its formal intention in which it is posited in predicament and genus, not according to this or that subject or this or that thing, because it is an intellectual and rational art that deals with intentions, reducing them to something else.\n\nFirst, to the two, because it first sets a difference between physics and dialectic. Second, it teaches the complete definition of physics there. The reason is that the first posits a difference between dialectic and physics in defining. Dialectic and physics define differently the very same things, that is, their passions. For instance, if anger is to be defined, dialectic assigns the matter, while dialectic assigns the form and reason. It should be noted that dialectic considers the thing according to its formal intention in which it is posited in predicament and genus, not according to this or that subject or this or that thing, because it is an intellectual and rational art that deals with intentions, reducing them to something else. The given text appears to be in Latin and contains several errors, likely due to Optical Character Recognition (OCR). I will attempt to clean the text while being faithful to the original content.\n\nThe text discusses the definition of \"physis\" (nature or substance) and the different ways to define it based on its material and formal aspects.\n\nHere is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Given is the discussion about the intentions of \"physis\" (physics) regarding its real existence in the subject and therefore defining it through substance and matter, causes, and intentions that are in the subject. Following this, the reason is shown. The complete definition of physics, as taught by Vb[doc], contains both matter and form because the physical form is in matter. First, it establishes that the physical form is in matter. Second, it provides a different way of defining it through matter alone, through form alone, or through both. For example, a house. Third, it concludes that this third mode seeks the definition of \"physis\" there. Therefore, and so forth.\"\n\nCleaned Text:\n\n\"Given is the discussion about the intentions of 'physis' (physics) regarding its real existence in the subject and therefore defining it through substance and matter, causes, and intentions that are in the subject.

First, it establishes that the physical form is in matter. Second, it provides a different way of defining it through matter alone, through form alone, or through both. For instance, a house. Third, it concludes that this third mode seeks the definition of 'physis' there.\" The existence is in matter, and the diversity of it argues for diversity in matter. Next comes the definition. Just as a house, we can define it in three ways. The first mode contains only the form of the house, such as when we say that a house is a covering preventing decay from winds, rain, and heat. The second mode can be defined by its definition, that is, in this matter, because of these things, and this is a complete definition, such as when we say that a house is a structure made of wood, stones, and bricks, protecting against decay from winds, rain, and so on.\n\nNext comes the natural definition. Where it shows that the third mode of definition was committed physically, it shows that this definition is natural. For if the physical form does not encompass both matter and form equally, as it says in physics, then this definition is natural, that is, it concerns the nature of the thing itself. science of nature. That is, it does not consider matter in terms of its form or only in terms of its form and not matter. Then he says solve. Furthermore, there are more difficult definitions and expressions of concepts. However, natural and sensible things include matter in their concept. I mean matter in general, but they do not include materia signata. For example, a man includes bread and bones, so the definition of natural things is through matter.\n\nRegarding the argument, it should be noted that not every definition that includes matter is defined through additions, such as when matter is incomprehensible as in composites, and no definition is defined through added parts for form. In the same way, we say that Aia is the act of a physical body. Now, form is defined through the addition of that which is the form of a physical body.\n\nTherefore, it follows that...

Where does the difference lie between a physicist and a mechanic, or a physicist is concerned with natural passions as they are, but a practical artist is concerned with artificial things, considering their properties and passions as if they were those of a house or a body. A doctor considers the passions of the body, both natural and those caused by art or medicine, as something that is both from nature and from art and this is what the author means by the Aut no est aliquis circa passionibus materiae neque inquam supernaturalis, unless a scholar says that some science is about these passions, then physics is about all passions and appearances. Whatever passions and appearances are such that they are natural to these bodies and homogeneous, a natural philosopher is concerned with whatever passions are not of this nature but more artificial, and a practical artist, such as a miner or a doctor, considers them if they concern certain passions. This text appears to be written in old Latin, possibly with some errors introduced during Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing. I will attempt to clean and translate it to modern English as faithfully as possible to the original text.\n\neis non sunt vtra naturalia, sed magis vtra artificialia. (The commentator on this matter says that from passions and bodily forms, nothing is considered natural by artisans, but rather by craftsmen, such as a carpenter and a doctor. The commentator further states that the principle of natural things is nature itself. And therefore, natural science is about things that are not within our power. The principle before artificial things is will, and of things within our power, some are. In book five of Metaphysics, where it is pointed out that there is a distinction between speculative science and practical science, because speculative science is about the non-factible, not within our power, and practical science is about the factible, united in this sixth principle of artificial things. The principle of artificial things in us is our voluntary will, and voluntary and artificial will are the same in form, just as the principle of natural things is in form.)\n\nDeinde sequitur nobis (Furthermore, it follows that...) The following passages are not directly related to the physical body, but rather to those that are not so closely connected: these passions are more considered by the mathematician. Such passions are in restriction and removal because they are removed and abstracted from sensible matter due to the consideration of the intellect or because they are restricted to the body insofar as they concern the body as a whole. However, the consequence itself is not insofar as it is transformable, but insofar as it follows the line, not insofar as it is transformable, but insofar as it is such a judgment, as if it were saying that the body is more the body in itself before it is transformable, and the passions that follow the body are prior to the physical body's passions, and therefore they cannot be abstracted from the physical body without sensation. Therefore, mathematics are not about these things that are in sensible matter, but rather abstract them as prior to the sensible matter, just as the definition was abstracted before.\n\nRegarding the argument, it should be said:\n\nThe passions that are not directly related to the physical body, but rather to those that are not so closely connected, are more considered by the mathematician. These passions are in restriction and removal because they are removed and abstracted from sensible matter due to the consideration of the intellect or because they are restricted to the body insofar as they concern the body as a whole. However, the consequence itself is not insofar as it is transformable, but insofar as it follows the line, not insofar as it is transformable, but insofar as it is such a judgment. The body is more the body in itself before it is transformable, and the passions that follow the body are prior to the physical body's passions. Therefore, mathematics are not about these things that are in sensible matter, but rather abstract them as prior to the sensible matter, just as the definition was abstracted before. The mathematical man does not lie in definition. He does not say that things are not materially in sensible matter but only understands this not to mean that they are not in matter at all. Therefore, an abstract thing in mathematics is from the intellect that separates and in metaphysics is the truth of the thing and from nature.\n\nNext follows, \"But it is to be observed.\" After the digression, he returns to the subject, saying that the passions of the soul are not separable from natural matter and that they become what they are in matter just as fear and desire are, not like a line and its surface that can be defined without sensible matter.\n\nNext follows, \"But you should understand where he continues in the treatise.\" The following text discusses how to approach the subject of the soul, stating that it is necessary to first doubt about doubtful matters and understand the opinions of ancient philosophers. The philosopher begins his treatise on the soul by first presenting other people's opinions about the soul as a whole and then his own in the second book. In the first part of the first book, he discusses opinions about the soul in its entirety, and in the end of this part.\n\nTo know what is true is to be able to distinguish between the principles that the ancients laid down for their opinions. Secondly, he examines these opinions in detail. The principles he accepts are motion and sensation, which he takes because they differ from the uncreated. These two things he accepts because they clarify what the soul is. antiquorum venebant ex motu quid aper inesse ipsis aiae sensum et movetur. Aiatus emu ab inaitato videtur differre motu et sensu. Hoc duo sensum et movetur ferimus a progenitoribus.\n\nDeinde dicut emu quid narrat antiquorum. Et pomo eas narrat secundo eas reprobavit ibi. Considerandum autem. Prima in tres ponit istorum qui venebant aiam ex motu. Secundus ex cognitione et sensu ibi. Quicquid aute ad cognoscere. Tertio illorum qui ex utroque illorum ibi Qmu auet et moquet aia movet corpus. Secundus existimabant quod nichil movet aliud quod non movetur et per consensum quod in seipso non movet non movet.\n\nEt ex hoc sequitur quia quia anima movet quod ipsum movet. Et ideo arbitrati sunt animas esse aliquid de novo eo quod movetur.\n\nQuereret aliquis utrum fundamenta antiquorum. \"if it is true that nothing is given to another unless it is not [if he who moves, moves himself; therefore, the same disposition is in the mover and the unmoved thing. Therefore, if all things that give something to another are moved first, it is impossible and therefore an answer. It is said that the foundation was not good because it did not always have the power to dispose formally that which gives the passive [or receive] or because the agent is not always in unity. And therefore, it does not follow from the form of the argument that if something moves, it would be moved otherwise in the first mover, because motion is not in the first mover [in the same way]. To the argument that everything that gives something to another has that thing virtually but does not have it formally unless it is in a true unity. Furthermore, Democritus, in his ancient work, relates and divides it into four parts. In the second part, Autus and Leucippus are mentioned. In the third part, Autus and the Pythagoreans. In the last part, Silrus and Anaxagoras.\" Notandu is what Opheimos of Democritus consisted of, which was composed of three parts. The first was that air, fire, and heat were from the most mobile of those. He said that air is of the nature of fire and this is what he means by the term \"Lyra.\" Therefore, Democritus says that the soul is either of fire or of air.\n\nThe second part of what he held was that things are composed of atoms, and atoms are composed of spherical atoms. He said that the soul is placed among these spherical atoms and this is what he means by \"phusis.\"\n\nDemocritus placed principles in atoms, which are infinite in number, as is stated in his book on generation. Of these atoms, those that are spherical he says are the soul and fire, which are spherical in shape.\n\nThirdly, Democritus' opinion was to manifest these atoms in some sensible example. This text appears to be written in an ancient form of Latin. I will translate it into modern English while preserving the original content as much as possible.\n\nThis is what decisions are, which seem to be in the radii of things, for they are called bodies that are moved like bodies in a sphere according to their own nature, due to their own power. When we are at home and at doors and on our left, only sunrays appear in these radii and bodies and decisions. Democritus spoke of these decisions and bodies as being one and the same, that is, universal seed and elements of the whole of nature, things natural.\n\nOne might ask whether this opinion had any appearance of truth for the ancients. It must be said that, in the first place, the earliest philosophers saw philosophy as nothing but material and corporeal, and they did not distinguish between the formal and final cause and the efficient cause. Therefore, they called that which is most motive in bodies, the seeds.\n\nIn the second place, before they knew that heat is a natural instrument of the soul, they saw the organs of the soul as being produced by heat. Therefore, they did not distinguish between the principal agent and the instrumental one. et hoc autem motiu non habet exempli quod dicit infra, in secundo calor animalis non ageret ad determinatam quantumitatem nisi in virtute alterius, quod alterum dicimus aiam. In secundo, quisque quereret umquam composui ex atomis ponat quidquid appareret. Dicendum est, quod sic fundabatur apparitionem ante duas. Primum est quia credebant quod nihil esset ens nisi corpus.

Aere enim qui contineant corpora indivisibilia constringunt. I.e. mittente humidis corpora indivisibilia et. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be describing the behavior of certain invisible corporeal figures that move in air and how they can be contained using three methods. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"extrudentia figuras corporeas indivisibles, que sunt corpora figuris pauperes aerialibus motibus. Hoc quidem in se ipsis moventur: quare non contingit illas. Aliquatenus quiescere. Aere in quatuor sic condensante, haec corporea indivisibilia contingit deforis ingredientibus alis indivisibilibus, vel per respirationem talia indivisibilia cum aere attrahuntur. Auxilii fieri corpora indivisibilia attracta cum aere in auxiliis fit triusmodi. Primo quod eis ingredientibus acquirunt locum. Homines enim qui exierunt. Nam si alii exierunt et nullus suppleret locum eorum, corrueret alia. Secundo quod prohibent haec indivisibilia quae sunt in aerialibus disgregari, quasi foris exire.

Tercio quod prohibentes intrinseca ab exitu expellit supplice id quod ea compressis et conprimis haec indivisibilia sic aqua et aliquid homini uni. Tercium iuuamentum est in.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"The indivisible corporeal figures, which are poor in shapes that move in the air, move themselves in this way: they do not come into contact with them. They can rest to some extent. When air is condensed in four ways, these indivisible corporeal figures come into contact with other indivisibles in the air, or they are attracted to the air through respiration. The aid is given to the indivisibles that are attracted to the air with the air in three ways. First, they acquire a place for those who enter. For example, if men have gone out, and others do not take their place, something else will collapse. Second, they prevent these indivisibles, which are in the air, from disintegrating, as if they were going out. Comets are given as a means of preventing intrinsic bodies from leaving. Third, they prevent intrinsic bodies from leaving by compressing and pressing them, and water and something else unites them to man. The third aid is in it.\" expelling what is constricting or gathering such things. In another way, some received this as a third benefit, speaking of the intrinsic properties that prevent or do not allow intrusive properties to easily disintegrate. Simultaneously, they prevent and constrict or do not allow them to be so rarefied. Therefore, it is called constricting and compressing, or fortifying the intrinsic properties, so that they are more firmly encountered in the face of external objects, and therefore it is called compressing. However, as long as these things continue to perform such functions, they are useful for living.\n\nIt should be noted that this procedure is formed by such indivisible things that are introduced for respiration, which would not be otherwise, since it is composed of indivisible things that delight us because they are introduced by inspiration, supplying a place for the fluids and preventing the intrusive properties from escaping, which obstruct motion and expelling all superfluities. In the process of respiration, these benefits appear to be reasons for life. Vbi postquam posuit opiniones Democriti et Leucippus ponit op. Pictagore et pom ponit op.

Following, one may ask why such decisions are of nature. It is to be said that this ratio is left in the air by the vapors raised up by virtue, and it moves upwards and by its own nature, which is terrestrial, it moves downwards and rises more. Then follows in it. In that place, it is found that the Platonic opinions follow the reasoning of the Pythagoreans, and whatever one may say, it is held that they all held the same opinion about motion. Namely, all the Pythagoreans, not only the Platonists, held this opinion.\" The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the philosophical views of Anaxagoras and Democritus regarding the nature of matter and motion. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"propria aie et quid aliud mouetur per hoc aiam au tam moueri dicebant, quod nichil dat alteri quod non habet, ideo quod dat motum mouetur. Deinde sequitur Similiter et Anaxagoras, sicut et Democritus consideravit, aiam ex perte motus. Dicit enim aiam eam mouente alia. Et si quis aliussus est Anaxagoras dicens quod intellectus ipsum aiam movet oia, ille eicias eam ex perte motus. Notandum est hoc, iij de aiam quod intellectus possibilis est oia fieri et intellectus agens oia facere sequitur, quod uterque est abstractus et immixus. Si autem aliquis eorum et mixtus organo corporali, non iste esset omnia.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"He himself and what else is moved by this aia, they believed, because nothing gives to another what it does not have, and therefore because it gives motion, it is moved itself. Then it follows similarly that Anaxagoras, like Democritus, considered aia as moving from itself. He indeed says that aia moves other things. And if anyone followed Anaxagoras, saying that the intellect itself moves aia, he was driven out as being moved from itself. It should be noted that this is about the three kinds of aia, since the intellect is capable of making aia, and the acting intellect follows, being abstract and immixed. But if anyone is mixed with a bodily organ, he is not all of it.\" feri nec ille oia facere sicut quis visus anne potuit visiva est alligata organo nec oia feri sed queda encia sicut colores eode mo potuit omnia que sunt in natura quia super omnem naturam est nec est alligatus alcui generi vel differentiae entis et ha ista posita veritas habet veritatem si intelligitur de intellectu divino.\n\nDeinde sequitur Non tamen penitus.

Omnis veritas comprehensa a sensu et per consensu non est dare alia potentia intellectualis. sensus et ideo democritus qui caret sensu, intellectu unum et democritus commendat Homero versificatore benecere. i.e. benedicere in suis heroicis, ubi dixit quod Hector iacet alius sapiens. Quod dicit Homero, qui dicebat Hectorem alienatuus a sensu alienatuus sapienti in intellectu. Hector emim aliquando paciebatur et ad perceptione sensus et amicia et per consensu sm democritus et ad perceptione intellectus, quia non utebat intellectu tanquam poterat potentia quae circa veritatem abstractam intelligibilis distincta contra sensum, sed idem dicit intellectus et anima.\n\nQuereret aliquis quid obiectu sensus an sensus sit intellectus. Omnis enim sensus est circum aliquid veritatis, sicut visus circum veritatem colorum et auditus circa veritatem sonorum et sic de alis. Discendum est quod ex hoc non potest argui quod sensus sit intellectus.\n\nPrimo, quid sit intellectus, ut fiat et quid agit ad agente videtur circum sensum veritatis sentis. tm\u0304 cir\u0304 this truth or that one appeared to me in the same way, concerning cognitive principles. It arises from itself for me, as I perceive and understand myself and others, not from anything else. (3) Moreover, I am occupied with something other than you or what you are occupied with, and what is occupying me is what is present, or some other reality or truth, not in you but in myself. From these things, Democritus did not put forward that the truth of a thing does not exceed the truth of the appearance, nor that falsity appears to the senses contrary to what it is, unless perhaps in this, the truth or falsehood of a thing is not self-evident to me alone. Anaxagoras is reported to have said that a person truly perceives something different in taste and is affected by it in taste, not just in sensation and intellect. Anaxagoras is reported to have distinguished something in both sense and intellect from others. In his own words, Anaxagoras said that a person is not called intelligent unless they can distinguish between intelligence and sense. He also said that some are honored as intelligent and worthy, while others are dishonored, depending on whether they act with prudence, which is the right and effective way of acting, or not. Anaxagoras further stated that this is less true in the case of the gods. Therefore, Anaxagoras made a clear and determined statement about the gods, different from what Democritus said.\n\nFollowing this, it is reported that Quicuquequid [something] concluded the whole matter, proceeding from that opinion which came to the gods through motion. And Quicuquequid, upon observing their motion, [something] through motion. The maximum opinion is that the soul is moved by something that moves other things. Someone might ask, for instance, whether Anaxagoras placed the soul in the heavens and had it possess some appearance. They say this is how it is. Anaxagoras perhaps imagined that cognizable things, and the potential for cognition and the formality of cognition, are participable by many. Just as human beings are participable by many, he saw that the potential for cognition and its formality were received in the gods and in the same way the goddesses and gods propounded a thought that was more obscured in one soul than in another and where less obscured they called intelligence. Where it is more obscured, they call it a sense. Therefore, this gave it the appearance of opinion. Not only that, but the formality of cognition, which is potentially cognizable and the formality of generation, breaks down the forms of the gods through their actions and not through sight, but he said that the intellect is not a sense and that it defines precision and other things that can be used by no one. ei sensu\nQuicque aut postquam phus detmauit opiones illorum qui venant hic dat opiones illorum qui venat hic cognitione sensu & ser ponit quod pncipium eorum.

Unus dr qui cuque aspexerat aiam \"recognize or feel those things which they studied to become acquainted with and discussed among themselves, concerning the principles of things. That is, they composed their teachings from recognizable principles, using various methods for each principle. Some placed one principle alone and said that one principle was recognized as much from the air as from one principle. Others, however, placed more principles of things, and Empedocles placed four elementary principles, such as earth, water, air, and fire, and the second, harmony and discord, which he placed among the things composed of many principles, so that one might be able to recognize which were those principles. Then follows. Just as Empedocles. Where he sets forth his opinions, and the second, in Plato's work, there he says, therefore, just as Empedocles received it from the foundation of thought, he says that knowledge comes about through assimilation, and the soul, being composed of these things, recognizes.\" The element and the five bodies are recognizable. It is said that this principle, the earth, water, air, and fire, and the concord and discord, are known to us from their positions. The earth, water, air, and fire, and concord and discord, we have come to know from their positions, the earth from the earth, water from water, air from air, and fire from fire. And furthermore, the soul places these six principles: earth, water, air, harmony, and discord, in order to be able to perceive all things, because these are the principles of which these things consist. One might ask in what way it falls short. It is said that it falls short in four ways. First, because the four elements, which are believed to be the vessels of these principles, cannot perceive the whole entity because they are themselves corporeal and material, and the principle does not perceive through an organ or material principle. Therefore, it does not perceive. This text appears to be written in an ancient or medieval Latin script, and it contains several errors and unreadable characters due to imperfect OCR (optical character recognition) processing. I will do my best to clean and correct the text while preserving its original content as much as possible.\n\nFirst, I will remove meaningless or unreadable characters and line breaks, and translate the Latin text into modern English:\n\nConcludes that it is abstract and mixed. Secondly, this lacks the mention of material elements, not making any mention of their form in the mixture being the substantial form and therefore the form should be more principal than material, aia should rather be composed of formal principles than material ones. Thirdly, this position lacks the ability to distinguish between real and intentional assimilation, although aia may indige for cognition of the former, it does not need real assimilation but rather intentional, and they did not know how to distinguish between the potentiality of matter and intellect. The potentiality of matter produces and actualizes forms which it receives, and therefore matter is educated to assume the form of the agent that educates it, or potentiality acts as concept and intentions, and through connection no other quod is assimilated unless intentionally. Fourthly, it contradicted itself in two principles.\n\nCleaned text:\n\nConcludes that it is abstract and mixed. Secondly, this lacks any mention of material elements and their form in the mixture. The substantial form should be more principal than material, and aia should rather be composed of formal principles than material ones. Thirdly, this position lacks the ability to distinguish between real and intentional assimilation. Although aia may need real assimilation for cognition, it does not require real assimilation but rather intentional. They did not know how to distinguish between the potentiality of matter and intellect. The potentiality of matter produces and actualizes forms which it receives, and therefore matter is educated to assume the form of the agent that educates it. Or, potentiality acts as concept and intentions, and through connection, no other quod is assimilated unless intentionally. Fourthly, it contradicted itself in two principles. Effects are those of concord and discord. Concord, indeed, signifies proportion among principles, by which the universe was constituted. Discord, on the other hand, signifies disorder among principles, by which corruption arises. More properly, it should have been called \"discord\" that generates what it has the power to cause, and concord and proportion hold themselves born of the same source and corrupted of the same source.\n\nFollowing this, it continues. In the same way, Plato places himself following the same ray that he followed, Empedocles {quod} the soul composes itself from principles if it is to know or knowledges come from assimilation. This Plato deduced and manifested in three ways. The second mode he found in Silus, but the third in the same place. Moreover, the first mode was thus: Intellect is assimilated to the intelligible by these very principles. elementis concipitur res extra et intellectus, et hoc est quod dicit Lara. Idem autem Plato in Timaeo facit: \"Anima copit ex elementis, sicut Empedocles, licet non poneret eadem elementa cum illo. Dicebat Empedocles cognosci per simile, similitudo propter principia verum, ita quod si anima debet cognoscere omnia, stat ex principiis omnium. Quereret aliquis quid sunt ista principia, ex quibus res componeretur, Plato in Timaeo dicit. Dicendum est quod ista principia finit idem et diversum, siue perceptible vel imperceptible. Ratio autem horum principiorum, quia omnis alia natura ab primo principio est ens et quia ens et unum concordantur, ideo omnis natura est una. Unum Boethius. Omnia quod est ideo est quia unum unum non est. Si autem est unum, sequitur quod indivisus quod unum in se et divisum ab omni alio. Ex hoc sequitur quod ommis natura alia ab primo concernit ratione indivisibilis et unius et io Boethius dixit perlatum quod in omni natura alia ab primo est unum et eiusdem. Est ecia in. In every created thing, there is one ratio that is diverse in various ways. One is that which admits of simplicity, excluding all diversity in the beginning and being such in the first principle. The second is that which excludes essential diversity in the principles of matter and form, and continuity which excludes parts in continuity. The third is that which excludes genus and species in one species, and similarly for other compositions. And wherever there is a position in a creature, whether it be from potency and act or essence and existence or from qualities, there is one reason in every created thing according to Plato. One thing is that which Plato held, that in every created thing there is one reason that is diverse. Secondly, one might ask how Averroes would place the one and the diverse.\n\nTo this, Augustine responds from the words of Augustine in the seventh book of the Trinity, chapter four, that the soul is saved by the one and simple ratio of its own. For the soul is simpler than the body, as it is not dispersed in the space of a location, but even in one body and in the whole. The entire text is in Latin and appears to be a scholarly discussion on the nature of numbers and their relationship to reality. Here is the cleaned text:\n\ncorpus est tota aia et in qualiorebet perte tota propter hoc sui spualitate et simplicitate est in ea ratio unius et totius. Est ecia in ea ratio pertinens et diversi.

Quod sic. Quamquam non componeret aia ex essentia et potentia nisi etiam proportio inter principia componendis. Omnis atque proportio quae est in re numera non oritur a proportione quae est in numero.\n\nAd oppositum, quia res mathematicis non sunt principia.\n\nTranslation:\n\nThe entire text is in Latin and discusses the nature of numbers and their relationship to reality. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nA body is the entirety of the world and in how much it is the entirety because of its purity and simplicity, there is a reason for unity and totality in it. It is a reason that is pertinent and diverse. The number one is the sum of even and odd. The reason why it is in the world is intellect and art, and therefore the composition is from the subtraction and acceptance. The potentiality of the world and in the intellect, the world and aia can be composed of numbers. The intellect and it can have the potential unity, and the potential unity is the most stable part of potentiality from which the world and aia can put forth ideally and dissum Tercius wanted to know whether from this, since in things or in aia it is ideally and dissum, it could be argued that things or aia can be composed of numbers. This is so. However, aia is not composed of essence and potentiality unless there is proportion between the principles of composition. All proportion that is in the world comes from the proportion that is in the number.\n\nOn the contrary, since mathematical things are not principles. re{rum} naturaliu\u0304 \u00b6Dicendu\u0304 est {quod} ai\u0304ma {con}stituitur magis ex nuo nuato {quam} ex nuo formali.

Here is the cleaned text:\n\ndimensions tem non est quadra dimensio et hoc probatum est primo reliquum et mundus quod non est imaginabile quod aliqua dimensio que non sit aliqua tria. Corpus aut inclusio tres dimensiones includit punctum ex cuius fluxu fit pama dimensio scra linea et longitudine qm linea constituuitur inesse ex fluxu puncti incontinuuum. Quia omnis fluxus videtur esse ab uno in unum, ideo linea recta terminatur per duo puncta. Secundum fundamento est quod omnes participantes aliqua forma formalitate modo ponuntur ex participante et participato eo modo quod imaginamur humanitas esse forma participata ab uno homine. Ideo in hoc homine sicut in fortis est compositio ex participante et participato vel alia uba supposito et natura vel ex quod est et quo est. Hanc ergo formalitatem fortasse vocavit Plato idem.\n\nQuod idee est aliquid per se subsistens. Quod nichil existit in efficio nisi individuus participans formalitatem. Ex istom secundum fundamento. orit tercius punctus participat unitate et formalitate, et ideam unius puncti non est ista unitas, sed unitas posita in continuo. Primo posteriori, punctus est subaetus. Linea autem participat ideam et formalitatem dualitatis, vel linea est extensio de puncto ad punctum. Unde dualitas punctorum in tali continuo participante videtur idem esse quod linea. Superficies autem participat ideam et formalitatem pluralitatis, vel numquam est dare superficiem rectilineam nisi sit dare tercium punctum. Unde et triangulus est prima figura rectilinearis, et trinitas in tali continuo facit superficiem. Corpus autem participat formalitatem et ideam quadratariorum, nec si volumus figurare corpus, tria puncta sufficiunt facere superficiem trilateram, sed opus est figurare quartum punctum et fit piramis, ita quod piramis est primum corpus angularium. Ex his tribus fundamentis arguitur sic. Corpus sensibile aut constituit ex puncto. In longevity, breadth, and depth, the first foundation is laid, primarily by those who do not put down anything but the quintessential, a point that distinguishes length from breadth, breadth from trinity, depth from quarter-depth. The body or entity, therefore, is constituted from idea, that is, from the form of one in relation to a point and duality, as much as to a line and trinity, as much to surface and quaternity as to depth. From this it follows that aia is posited from unity, duality, and trinity and quaternity, and for the sake of assimilation with these, aia and sensibles that are cognizable are posited. In these things that Plato speaks of, he similarly determines that the soul, natural anima, is constituted from principles, which he himself posited as the soul being constituted from idea, that is, from form, as much in relation to a point and from prime matter, and from the length, that is, from form and the form of length, which is. dualitas et hoc quid ad linea et ex prima latitudine, that is, ex idea et formalitate latitudinis, which is trinitas et hoc quid ad superficiem et ex prima altitudine, that is, ex idea et formalitate corporis et profundi, est quaternitas. Alterum autem Plato dixit, alia percipia. Suppleat hoc, si animal ita constituitur ex talibus elementis, quod anima ita constat ut anima cognoscat omnia et habeat similitudinem cuilibet, dicit Plato, ea constare ex omnibus, siue ex elementis, id est principiis. Quisque quaeret. Utrum formalitas longitudinis bene dicat illud quod est plus,\nquam illud quod est plus, sed essentia non est prius, ergo et formalitas non prius est, quam essentia, et cetera.\n\nAd oppositum est dictum Platonis. Dicendum est, supposito quod idea rei vocetur formalitas eius, quod talis formalitas habet rationem priorem respectu illius cuius est formalitas, hoc prioritas non est sic ratione existentiae, quasi formalitas per se existat, sicut quidam putant. imput Platonis sed magis quam quod est sm quid ratione encie quod essencie praecedit esse exncie. Sm alios est sm processione conceptus. Essentia em et formalitas rei ad conceptu et eaencia sua non dependet ab aliquo posteriorum. Unde et Plato vocavit ideam hoc quod non claudat nisi per seitatem et essentialia hoc. Quodlibet autem participans hanc formalitatem est quid compositum respectu formalitatis et sic panta longitudo vel latitudo et sic de alis potest dicere ipsum formalitas quae habet ratione cuiusdam prius.\n\nAd argumentum potest dici quod non pcedit sm esse existencie sed sm esse essencie ut dicunt aliqui vel magis sm esse conceptus.\n\nDeinde sequitur. Adhuc autem. Tertius modus ponitur ab Aetia quod aeternum compositum est ex elementis et maxime ex nuis. Anima et res extra habitutus constituuitur ex nuis ergo et Aeternum in hac ratione supponit Phusum dc Platone in precedenti racione quod res. The put forth from numbers. He proved this in this race about habits, concerning intellect, science, opinion, and sense, for whatever is known seems to be known by some one of these. This is what Laura says. Yet furthermore, Plato's statement is made clear: he says that the intellect is one, whose reason is that the intellect is the principal thing which is not known through discourse; he says that science is two, concerning the consideration of a singular thing from one middle to one conclusion. Opinion, he says, is a plane number, that is, a number of the surface, which is a triad, and the reason for opinion is that it is from one middle to one conclusion through fear of the other. Sense, he says, has a number which is firm, that is, a number of the body, which is a quaternion, and this because senses follow these numbers, that is, unity, duality, trinity, and quadarity, which are species and principles of things, as was said above, and also of these numbers from the elements, that is, from. numbers of elements in respect to their habits and souls. For other things are indicated by intellect, by science, by opinion, or by sense. As it has been said, unity is attributed to science, duality to opinion, and trinity to sense. However, among the followers of the sect, there was a commentator who tried to define what these things were coming from - some from motion, some from sense, and some from both. After this was said about the first and second sect, he divided this third into three parts, inquiring what it was that came from sense and motion. The second part inquired what philosophers anciently differed in setting up principles there. There it is different. The commentator there begins to commend the knowledge of the ancients.\n\nAs for the nature of things, those who held that the soul and the body were intertwined and cognizant of each other, were involved in defining what it was that came from both - that is, from some one thing. indicat ea ea motiva et ex aliquo quod indicat ea ea cognoscitiua. dixerunt em ai num seipsum movente ut ex pmo iudicet esse cognoscitiua na nui, platonici sunt principia oim enciu.

Una autem dram ea est quia operacio sicut visio et intellectus ea unaque tempore in qua sit est perfecta. Motus autem semper aliud et aliud assumens puta alia substancia. The text appears to be in ancient Latin or a similar language, and it is largely illegible due to errors in the OCR process. However, I can identify some words and phrases that may be part of the original text. Based on the context, it appears to be a philosophical or metaphysical text discussing the nature of principles and substances. Here is a possible cleaning of the text:\n\nvel alius loqui si est de motus et sic de alis motibus. Alia drus quidem eest quod actus imperfecti. Operam attulit actus perfecti. Intelligere ergo et nolle magis operam quam motus. Deinde sequitur. Maximus etiam attulit. Quid de differentia quidem sub terra. Unus maximus autem quam.

Coesseque iterum autem Maximus quidquid ostendit, opiniones illas non fuere irrationales et pauci ad illos qui veniebant anima per motum. secundo quam tu.\n\nThis text discusses the nature of principles and motions, and mentions Anaxagoras and his belief in an incorporeal intellect as a principle. It also mentions that some philosophers believed in multiple principles, and that Maximus presented arguments that were not irrational to those who listened to him. However, the text is still largely illegible, and there may be errors or missing words in this cleaning. Those who came to him for understanding and sense were all defined by it there. First, it makes two: because the soul is a thing. Second, it adds certain other things to the opinions already mentioned there. They see it. The first makes two: the soul puts its own intuition into two. The second proves it with unshakable certainty to all. Therefore, those who ponder this. He therefore says that the soul, in its physical nature, follows the principles assigned to it by nature, just as it differed from them in its principles, so it differs in the soul. The reason why some believed that the souls of animals converged in their first principles and this is not irrational. The commentator's intention is to demonstrate that the ancients agreed on this, that the soul is from the principles, and he begins to praise them for following their principles from there. Therefore, to some. Where he shows that he said \"and earlier it was said that Democritus said the soul is fire.\" \"et quod est corporea indivisibilia, ideo primo ondit quod principium non fuit sine ratione. Secundo ondit idee de secundo ibi. Democritus ait: Quatuor ad prius quod quibusdam visum est anima ee igne suple et non irrorabilis etem hic scroz ignis respectu alienorum corporum est in pertius subtilissimus respectu eciam ignis eum maxime incorporeus idee et magis mobilis et mouet alia elementa pmo.

Among those ancient philosophers, Democritus first understood both matter and fire. After him, Anaxagoras follows. Anax places \"an opaque\" in the agora and continues in this way, less certain than Democritus. He seems to perceive some among them as air and intellect in others, but differently in each. Some among them admit to knowing one thing, not another. Quarrelsome Quintus wanted to say something about Anax's intellect being simple and mixed, and pure. He assigned each of them the task of recognizing and moving intellect for themselves and moving themselves. Anaxagoras queried whether some wanted Anax to be like this. Anonymous reported that others spoke as if Anax knew this from the things themselves. Anaxagoras said that Anax's intellect, purified from the things, is closer to the sense of Aristotle, who posited that intellect is both mixed and capable of making and being made. Following this, someone wanted to query. attribution is this: it tells us that the simple and complex are intermixed in the Dicearchan account, as Auax understood. He knew that the intellect can cognize and create its own senses. For instance, if this intellect could not create, it would not be articulated into any genus, but would remain in perfection as a genus and be self-contained. The cometator says that everything exists in potentiality until it is actualized in intellect, as Anaxagoras understood. This intellect is simpler in potentiality than in actuality, not mixed with bodily substance, but elevated above it. It is pure in potentiality, abstracting essences from matter. It is said that everything is cognizable to the extent that it is possible to intellectually apprehend it. The intellect moves and makes things, acting upon them and so on.\n\nIt seems that after physics was established by Democritus and Anaxagoras, in these matters. annctit enim alia opiones & pomo opiones illorum qui magis ronabiliori loqunti erant.

Hoc videndo pluribus quod tales memoriae traditur.\n\n(Note: The text appears to be a Latin translation of an ancient Greek text, possibly a fragment of a philosophical dialogue. The text discusses the opinions of various philosophers, including Diogenes, Heraclitus, and Socrates, regarding the nature of water and the principle of motion. The text also mentions Anax, who believed that intellect moves all things. The text emphasizes the importance of remembering the teachings of the gods and the consensus among philosophers.) Diogenes said, \"Where is the second foundation placed? He was nourished by this foundation, which was both movable and cognitive, and from such principles he gave himself motion and cognition. The reason it was movable and subtle was because it was air, which was formed from the element air. Air is the most mobile and subtle of all things, and from this it follows that it is the air which, in its own nature, gives cognition and is assimilated to other things as if it were a principle. Because of its subtlety, it gives animation motion. This is clear from the letter which says that Diogenes, like others, sought the soul through motion and cognition. For he believed that this air, which he called the most subtle, was the first principle.\"\n\nTherefore, if it was the most subtle, it was movable and gave itself motion. De inde sequitur Eraclitus, quod ponit tercia opus, quid opio fundabat, de quod est magis eloqui a contrarietate. Talis atomos non est elementum extremum, sed magis medium, quod magis recipit contrarietate quam extremum. Talis elementum est vapor, quod medium inter aqua et aera est, et ideo aiia vapor est.\n\nSecundum fundamentum est quod cognoscitur per assimilationem Encia, at cognosco Eraclitus suum in continua motu, et hoc quod in vapore est, quod quidquid in corporalissimum recedens a corporeitate et quiete, hoc id quod dixit eraclitus, aiam eiid pncipium oim.\n\nEx hoc constituitur aqua et icia cursus, et quid in corporalissimo fluit, et hoc per illud assimilat res cognoscuntur. Quod movet, scilicet per rem mobile, cognoscit. Eraclitus posuit sic et multi alii quod olim putaverunt et cognoscunt sunt in motu et fluxu. \"Deinde sequit. Similarily, when it places the fourth opus. This resembles what was previously done by us, therefore you too should act thus towards them regarding what you act towards them and them towards you. They placed these among the elements of the natural world, but among the divine nature and therefore they called them immortal and believed that if they did not move, they would not move at all, or if they were thought to be moving, they would be moved. \"Si autem cessaret motus eius cessaret motus alterum aut cessante sermone cessant agencia secunda, and perhaps this was speaking of the muddy matters and the universality of this, and because it says that I am immortal or resembles the immortals. This immortality is in it and it is always in motion, just as the sun and moon and stars and the entire sky are.\"\n\nDeinde sequitur.

The second part is Alij or Pomtur. ergo una animas foundatur supra duo fundamenta et est anima quae est humida et aqua. Unum et isti ex fundamento suo redarguerebat illos qui dicerant hoc santere potius quam generationem sine semine quam dicerant hoc santere prima. I.e. principaliter, non est sanguis, sed magis aqua.

I.e. aie ergo per cam coneat. Sed hoc non est nisi materiale principium ergo et cetera.\n\nAd oppositum aiia est actus ut dicet in secedendo.\n\nDicendum est quod licet materia recipiat et aiia non uniformiter. Potentia emendat materiam formis particularibus esse. Potentia autem intellectus proportionat formis universalibus intentione et quare recipere non est uniforme id quod est causa. recepiscis non est unus racios et io licet intelligibilis, assimilet materiae. Undeniably, intellectus et materia non sunt unitas, sed unitas propositionis, quia materia ad formas sensibles, ita suo modo intellectus possibilis ad formas intelligibiles.\n\nDeinde sequitur Alius autem, ubi ponit ultima opinio, et est quod quid sicut tritias dixerunt, anima esse sanguine, cuus ratio est quare sentit ea magis propriis aibus quam alia passio. Sentire aut inest ea propter sanguinem unum et petes aalias caretes sanguine, sicut ossa capilli et unguis, non sensit.\n\nDein sequitur Oia elementa. Ubi removet quoddubitum, posse aliquis dubitare et quare non narrata sunt illorum qui posuerunt esse cerras.\n\nAd hoc testificat physis, quod oia elementa accipere iudicata sunt a iudice peter, id est oia elementa iudicata sunt a antiquis, haec ei nulli antiquorum retulerunt ea elementa, nisi forte. Somebody said that the soul was placed among the elements, as Empedocles did. Someone wanted to know why no one accepted this as an element, for the soul. They said that perhaps the soul consisted of something neutral, neither hot nor cold, and that it was in things that were dry and moist. What Isidorus, or rather Iamblichus, in his translation, said that the earth was the principle. But this translator was famous for his interpretations among the philosophers.\n\nThis matter is divided into parts, first, because the statements about the soul were reduced to principles. Secondly, here he specifically shows what knowledge is of the one appropriate to that place. In knowing,\n\nAs for the first principle, The ancient universally defined the self and its substance in three ways through the process of cognition and sensation, and they did not reduce these ways to this opinion based on principles. Some argued that the self is not incorporated into these principles, as it is not like other elements such as air, water, or fire, which are corporeal. It is true that the self is not a body or a force in a body. This is clearer in the third branch of this science. It is not well manifested through touch or sight. In cognition, those who receive the self have said that it is consonant with itself. principles were reduced to the elements in order to be able to know what the elements are. First, nature confirms this proposition by inducing substance as the principle. Second, neither is there anyone who, nor is there any difference, but whoever continues in the same way as this was said to be the case in ancient times. It is particularly clear in the case of cognition, because the ancients defined it as being in cognition itself, that is, through cognition we distinguish it from the elements, or uniformly, as the ancient Anaxagoras said, \"the same is cognized from the elements, whether it is fire or water.\" They said that it is cognized through the similar and because the soul cognizes all things, therefore it is composed of principles in every way. It should be noted that the commentator states that it follows the three propositions that they believed to be one, namely, that every res is cognized through its own principles. Second, a res is not cognized except through its own principles. Third, \"ai\u0101 oia cognoscit. Ex his tribus sequitur aiam eoia principia vel ex principiis omnibus. Deinde sequitur quicunque. Vbi postquam onsum est quod ai\u0101 incognosco reducit in principia, quo ad substantia principiorum hic invenit quod eade\u0304 reducit in numerum principiorum & pimo hoc facit secundo recitat opinione Anaxagoras ibi. Anaxagoras quatuor ad primum dicit quicque dicunt vua caza aut unum elementum eorum quae sunt principia. Ignem aut aerem ponit aiam illud vnum ut possit cognoscere quidquam quod est elementum. Quia cognitio fit per assimilationem. Et propter eandem quicque ponit plura principia dicam ee illa plura. Deinde sequit Anaxagoras hoc. Vbi excipit opinionem Anaxagoras ab opinionibus istorum. Dicebant em isti quod ai\u0101 per cognitionem assimilat res ita quod quasi una forma consitit rebus & aie. Anaxagoras autem dixit quod intellectus nichil commune est cum rebus exteris. Unde & commentator.\" Solon Anaxagoras said that the intelligent [thing] does not receive passions, that is, it is not material and in no communication with anything such that it becomes affected by any form of intellect. Nor is it corporeal or virtuous in the body, and this was said by no one but Anaxagoras. After this, it is said that the sun is called \"solon Anaxagoras\" because he said that the intellect is impassable with regard to the material. He also said that the intellect is nothing common with other corporeal elements and is abstracted and unmixed. Although he did not completely say what the intellect is, Anaxagoras did not say how one cognizes the intellect and by what means. From these things, one might ask how Anaxagoras did not give a means of cognition and a method. It must be said that cognition comes about through the activities of the intellect. ad hoc, if the intellect should know what is real, this is accomplished through real assimilation, as some have said against the ancients. Anaxagoras himself did not say this, and therefore he spoke insufficiently. A commentator did not say that Anaxagoras held that the intellect understands what is in act or potential, neither did he explain that it understands things that are not yet intelligible through the same mode of intelligible things. Anaxagoras could have shown this defect in another way. It is certain that light is the universal and common aspect of all intelligible things, and nothing moves itself to be moved by any intelligible thing, and Anaxagoras rightly said this, but because from this light follows a determined knowledge of this or that knowable thing, the common cause does not appear to give itself except in common effect, and therefore light does not seem sufficient for this. Anaxagoras himself said this, and therefore the common cause does not truly show itself except in common effect. de\u2223terminatam cognicitionem nisi ali\u00a6quid concurrat. de hoc in tercio di\u00a6cetur \u00b6Deinde sequit Quicun{que} alius: Vbi post{quam} manifestauit {quod} antiqui opinabantur de anima sm p\u0304ncipia et q\u0304ntum ad substancia\u0304 et nume{rum} principio{rum}. hic oste\u0304dit {quod} idem opinebantur illi qui poneba\u0304t principia {con}traria.

Contra istam rationem obicitur, quia omnes dicti motus sunt in loco, quod quidem. It appears that the given text is in Latin. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"It seems true regarding local motion because a new place is acquired through local change, and motion increases or decreases where a larger or smaller place is acquired. However, it does not seem true regarding motion of alteration. Some say that these motions are in a place because a body that is moved or altered or decreases or increases is in a place. The Commentator states this in the beginning of his commentary when we join this with what was said by the philosopher, that every motion of these motions is a body, as declared.\n\nVI. Physically, it is concluded that if the air moves, it is a body and is in a place. Against this reasoning, it can be objected as the Commentator objects, because he did not say that the moved airs are in the places mentioned but rather that all the mentioned motions are in a place. Therefore, it is otherwise, because in alteration it is necessary that there be a proximity of the one being altered to that which is altered, and proximity occurs through [approach].\" motu locali perciu quod adinventiae accedunt in locum maiorem, quod dicit: \"Materiae materiae, quae movent, dissolvent et constringunt qualities active and passively, through which they move and dissolution and constraint are not without local motion. Next, it follows that if a thing manifestly shows what it is, it is in a place by itself, as this shows that it does not move through others. If, however, the substantial definition of love is to move itself, it moves both through itself and through place, as in the case of the white cube and the three-sided figure, which are moved and located through place. This is pointed out because the body in which they are contained is moved. A place is not theirs through accidents. The soul, however, is a place by itself because naturally and by itself it participates in motion.\"\n\nFurthermore, it is also stated: \"Where\" The second reason is that a commentator is founded upon two hypothetical syllogisms. The first is this: if the soul moves naturally and does not move violently, then it does not move violently, but naturally. Regarding this syllogism, Lara says further. However, if the soul moves naturally and is moved violently and contrary to this. The second hypothetical syllogism is this: if the soul moves naturally, it rests naturally, and if it rests naturally, it rests violently but does not rest violently, therefore it does not rest naturally, and if it does not rest naturally, it does not move naturally. In this regard, Lara also says the same about rest. In this place, something rests naturally, that is, naturally. In a place where it is moved naturally, it is like a heavy object that rests in the center and moves naturally towards the center. In this place, something rests violently where it is moved violently, like a heavy object that rests violently upward and there. mo\u00a6uetur violeuter\u00b7 anime autem no\u0304 est assignare motum violentu\u0304 nec quietem violentam et per conse\u2223quens nec motum naturalem. et hoc est quod sequit Quales sint motus violenti anime xel quietes no\u0304 est facile fingere. quasi diceret non solum hoc non potest dici per\nveritatem sed eciam hoc est difficile signare per figmentu\u0304.

Contra hanc solu\u2223tionem obicitur quia Almeon, ut dictum est supra, posuit animam in corpus quintum. Alii modo dicunt alii quod Phus intelligit tantum de motibus, qui habent quiem oppositam quibus motibus moventur omnia inferiora, tam animata quam inanimata. Omnia enim animata vel moventur motu progressivo vel motu dilatationis et contractionis, et omnia talia aliqa modo moventur respectu naturali, quia illud movetur violentiter, quod deueniat a natura, et ideo verificatur ista propositio, quod scimus movet violentiter debet movi naturaliter. Verificatur ecia conversa, quia in elemento quidem aliiquis locus naturalis et aliquis in naturali, et ideo si potest movi naturaliter ad unum locum, potest movi violenti ad aliud. Non sic autem est de illo, quod movet circulariter, sicut de sole, quia omnes situs circuli sui sunt sibi naturales, nec ecia est maior ratio, quod quiescat in uno quam in alio, et ideo semper movet fine quiete opposita. Deinde sequitur. Amplius autem. Vbi pointur tercia ratio, et est talis. If the soul moves naturally or is moved upward, there is fire. Or if it moves downward, or fire is in it, or earth. Or if it moves upward from below and there is fire or earth in it, as in mixed motions, the motions of fire and earth are upward and downward in the bodies of these elements. This same reasoning could apply to the elements themselves. For the commander says that if water is heated, it becomes two bodies, namely air and water. It is noteworthy that the philosopher, in speaking with the commander, remained silent about what follows. That is, if the soul is one of these elements and, in the body, it violently becomes one of the other elements. Furthermore, if any of these elements is not moved in the body except by one natural motion, upward or downward, the nature of the element in which it is. But we see it moved by opposing motions. It moves the body with diverse differences. position is following. Since, however, the fourth ratio is founded upon three propositions. The first is that if the soul moves the body because it is moved, it is reasonable that it moves the body with the same movements by which it is moved itself. And this is what the law says: since the soul seems to move the body, it is reasonable that it is moved by those movements with which it moves the body itself, and in this proposition, if the first is true, the soul will be moved and itself moved by that motion with which it moves the body, and this is what the law says. The second proposition is this: the soul is moved by those movements with which it moves the body, and this is true if the first is true, that is, if the soul moves the body with those movements with which it is moved itself, it will move itself and be moved by that motion with which it moves the body, and this is what the law says. If, however, the first proposition is true and the converting ones, it will be true to say that the soul itself is moved by that motion with which it moves the body. If, moreover, the first position is true and the body is given motion not entirely but similarly to that with which the soul moves it, it follows that it is moved with a similar motion. The third proposition is the intended conclusion. For if the soul is moved by the motion of the body, it can be argued thus. The body is moved from one place to another, therefore, the soul can be moved from the body. This seems impossible, for you cannot exit the body and at the same time enter it, and your resurrection will be natural, according to this proposition. The body is moved when the place is changed, and so the soul will change, because the body changes and through the pores it can be transferred completely or in part, which is impossible, for if it transfers completely, it itself will enter the exit and thus follows resurrection. Someone might ask whether the verb \"movere\" means \"to move something that moves with the same motion as the movable thing.\" It seems not, for the wind moves a body locally. The self is moved through appetite and desire. Furthermore, a heated stone moves a pallet and yet the latter is not moved locally. Furthermore, the sun moves upward and draws vapors with a straight motion, and yet it itself does not move with a circular motion.\n\nThemistius argues against this: he says that there is no motion in the sense of desire and will, but only in the sense of extension. The given text appears to be written in an ancient language, likely Latin, with some errors and irregularities. Based on the given requirements, I will attempt to clean and translate the text into modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\nFirst, I will remove meaningless or unreadable content, line breaks, and other unnecessary characters:\n\noperae. Mota autem et operatio dront quam motus est actus impercus opera actus perfectus. Cometaator tibi ad illa obituerunt quod movens movet super illo motu quo movetur mobile. Sed est vera sermone adversarii ita quod non verificat dicem nisi concedat pama propter propositionem a qua incipit loqui quod aia movet corpus quod movet sequitur conversa eius necessario et est quod omnia motu quo movet corpus necessest ut aia movetur. Deinde sequitur. Motu aut Vbi ponit quinta ratio et est talis quod si quid est inest alicui non est necessarium quod ei insit ab alio vel aliud nisi forte sic aia movet se non est necessarium quod movet se ab alio, sed movet a sensibus ergo non movet se.\n\nTo translate this text into modern English, I will use a Latin to English dictionary and attempt to maintain the original meaning as closely as possible:\n\nThe work. Motion and action are the same as the act that is moved by motion. The cometator was addressed to those matters, since the mover moves with the motion by which it is moved itself. But the words of the adversary are such that they do not verify the saying unless the premises from which they began to speak are conceded, that the thing which aia moves the body, which follows it in its conversion, and it is necessary that all motion by which the body is moved necessitates that aia is moved. Then it follows that motion places the fifth reason and it is such that if something is in something, it is not necessary that it is in it from another or anything else, unless perhaps aia moves itself, not necessary that it moves itself from another, but it moves from the senses, therefore it does not move itself.\n\nTherefore, the text appears to be discussing the nature of motion and the relationship between the mover and the moved object. The author argues that the mover and the moved object are interconnected, and that the premises from which arguments are made must be conceded in order for the arguments to be valid. The text also introduces the concept of aia, which seems to refer to the essence or nature of things, and suggests that it is necessary for both the mover and the moved object to exist in order for motion to occur. Overall, the text appears to be a philosophical discussion on the nature of motion and causality. The animal's violent movement is discussed by the Commentator following this proposition. Aristotle began to declare that it is possibly, if not necessarily, that the animal's movement is not caused by such a movement itself, but rather by the movement of the thing in which it is located. The second proposition is that it is not necessary that what is moved by its own substance be compelled to be moved by something else. The Commentator gave the term \"nature\" for the possible motion of this accidental motion, and declared that it should not be necessary for what is moved by its own substance to move by something else, and therefore it is so. This does not happen otherwise, unless the soul is moved by its own substance as it is not necessary for what is in itself good and desirable to be good and desirable on account of another cause or reason, or if it is good and desirable on account of another, it is no longer good and desirable in itself but rather on account of another. The third proposition is that the animal's movement is not caused by its own substance but rather by the movement of the thing in which it is located. motion moves the soul most notably to this proposition, as the Commentator introduces it. Since he has said that a thing is impossible to say which of the two moves, the soul or the senses, the Commentator interprets the proposition in this way. He says that in general, the soul is moved by the senses. The senses can be moved and are moved, as the Commentator says, if he says that the soul does not move unless it is moved by something more. This is verified in the motion of the soul from the senses, because it is shown and is moved by local motion. However, if the sense is active as the Commentator says, there is another difficulty. Afterwards, it follows:\n\nWhy is every motion thus? Where the sixth ratio places itself and is such. All motions make a thing distant because motion makes a thing distant from the place it was, and this is verified in every motion. The text appears to be written in Old Latin, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between motion and substance, specifically the animation of the soul. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"modus motus sicut motus localis facit distare in loco et motus iq quantitate a quantitate se quitur, quod anima distabit a secunda substancia si moueatur, nisi forte moueatur accn tuc em no sequeretur conclusio. Sed sic no posuerunt eam antiqui, sed magis dixerunt motus est ipsius animae substancia per se. Notandum est quod commentator phum ad sui probatione adducit duas propositiones ex prima conclusio sum: quod omis motus est transmutatio motus in modum sue substancia, quod est motus et ideo si anima moueatur substancia liter transmutatur a sua suba. Secunda propositio est quod hoc debet intelligi scroz motus facit distare a substancia animae nisi motus sit de consequentibus substancia tuc em facit distare ab accn et no ab substancia etc.\n\nQuidam autem post impbauit opiniones illorum qui definiebant animas per motum in generali. Hic in speciali.\" The text describes Descartes' treatment of opposing opinions, specifically those of Democritus and Plato. Descartes first engages with Democritus' opinion, then Plato's, and refutes a third opinion that was similar to Plato's. When an example is given, Descartes argues that the mind moves the body, and this is true because animals both move and rest, and there should not be a constant cause of motion but of rest. In the second reason, Descartes bases his argument on two propositions. The first proposition is that animals sometimes move and sometimes rest, and the cause of motion should not always be given but that of rest. The second proposition is: position is that Speira, which Democritus placed, are indistinguishable, because it is always in motion, from which it follows that Democritus did not sufficiently explain this position, and what he says about it. We will ask Democritus. If this Speira is the same thing that makes animals move, will it make us quiet as well? It is difficult, if not impossible, to say that something that is always in motion is not the cause of quiet.\n\nNext, it follows that all others. Where he places the second argument and what he says about the motion process of animals not being caused by necessity, since it cannot be quiet and the soul does not seem to move the animal as Democritus said, but rather it is caused by intellect and will. The intellect shows this as it executes, just as the foot walks or the hand touches.\n\nNext, it follows in the same way where he places Opinion Platonis and first it was refuted there. The first opinion there contained the belief that:\n\nFirst, it was held that the world is contained in four elements. Second, it was held there. The third, I suppose, moves it because: mouetur. I must necessarily move a body that is incorporeal and united. Then follows Constituta, which places what Plato said. It is notable that Plato's commentator opined that Plato held the opinion in Timaeus that the soul is a nature intermediate between abstract and indivisible forms and between sensible and divisible forms. Themistius also said that Plato intended the intermediate nature to be the intellect among all parents, material and abstract. From this it follows that there is unity and diversity in the soul. In the former case, when it reaches abstract forms, there is simplicity and identity. But in the latter case, when it reaches sensibles, there is composition and diversity, as the soul itself perceives the nature of extremes, one and diverse. The soul is composed of the same and diverse, as Plato placed it in the elements of things. Similarly, Plato attributed an imperishable number to it because, as it is said in the third book of physics, if unity is added to the first, an imperishable figure results, that is, a tetrahedron. The number of a square, if a fourth impair is added to it, produces a newt (a number that is also a square). By continually adding impairs, a uniform figure results. From this it follows that unity and uniformity are attributed to the odd number. Diversity and irregularity, on the other hand, are attributed to the even number. For if unity is added to an even number, the first odd number, a triangular number, arises; if another even number is added, a seventh number, which is a heptagon in figure, results, and the figure is thus varied by the addition of even numbers. From this it follows that irregularities are attributed to even numbers. This is clear from the letter which says that Plato held that the soul is composed of the same and different, since, as has been stated, it is a middle nature between abstract forms and sensibles and is therefore constituted of both even and odd.\n\nFurthermore, where Plato's saying \"Textum\" is placed, it is founded on two propositions, of which the first is that: The concept is formed through assimilation. The second is that the soul recognizes harmonious and numerical proportions. From these two propositions, it follows that things can be composed of numbers, but the soul is composed of harmonious and musical proportions, and this is because the letter says so. For Plato says that the soul is dispersed, that is, rationally arranged, in order to receive the natural sense of harmony, that is, to be delighted in harmony, and all delight arises from consonance. Therefore, the soul is composed of harmonious numbers, both for cognition and for delight. But there is also a question: what are these harmonic numbers? It must be said that they are the consonances of music, that is, the diapason, diapente, and so on. These numbers are, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12. Two to one is the proportion of a duplum, which makes up the whole twice and in this lies the diapason. Three to two is the proportion of a triplum. est proportio sexquialtera, in qua consistit diapente, que est in sexquialtera proportione, quatuor autem ad tria est proportio sexquitercia, que continet totum et terciam partem, et in tali proportione consistit diatessaron. Octo enim continent tria bis & duas tercias eiusdeqr bis tria facit sex quibus, si addant duo, funt octo. Et ideo ex habitudine octo ad tria consurgit proportio composita ex diapason et diacessaron, que facit proportione duplam et duarum terciarum novae ad octo est proportio sexquinoctaua, quia continet totum et octavam partem. Ultima autem proportio dicitur composita ex diapason et diapente, que facit proportionem triplam. Nam diapason facit proportionem duplam diapentem proportionem unum cum dimidia, qr in diapente continentur totum et alteram partem. Si autem duo in quibus consistit proportio duplex ducantur in unum, resultant tria, nam bis unum. The following text describes the relationship between the movements of the soul and the heavens, as discussed by Plato. It mentions that the aspects of the soul and the celestial bodies should conform to each other. Plato spoke of this when discussing the image of this concept, which he referred to as the \"aspect of rejection.\" God reflected this aspect in the circle of the equinoctial and zodiac, which he divided into seven planetary circles. All of their motions are towards the south in the northern hemisphere, and similarly, in the soul, there are certain appropriations. The soul has a direct aspect when it is engaged with objects, but it is reflected inward when it returns to itself for understanding. The soul has a twofold ordering: it understands abstract concepts first, and then it feels.\n\nThe text:\n\nThe following descriptions concern the three parts from the treatise, and the proportion that arises from the diapason and diatessaron. Therefore, the triple portion that is thirty-nine to nine arises because it makes thirty-nine thirty-nine times. All of this is clear in the figure that is in the margin. Then follows. And just as in the case where the forty-ninth part of Plato speaks, who principally spoke about the soul that moves the heavens, about our own soul he spoke when the image of that was present. Concerning this matter, he said that the movements of the soul and the movements of the heavens should be conformable, and therefore, just as in the heavens the first aspect was recalcitrant, which God reflected in the circle that he released as the circle of the equinoctial and zodiac, he divided it according to the release into seven planetary circles of which all the motions are towards the south in the northern hemisphere, and similarly, in the soul, there are certain appropriations. For the soul has a direct aspect when it is borne over objects in a direct act, but it is reflected inward when it returns to itself for understanding. Again, however, there is a twofold ordering in the soul. The first is when it understands abstract concepts, the second when it feels. sensibilia. Remaining is the unchanged Prina. The second is divided in this way: in the first, sensory particulars; in the second, common senses; in the third, imagination; in the fourth, estimations; in the fifth, memory; in the sixth and seventh, concupiscible and irascible, which are parts of appetite. Appetite follows sense. This is clear from what is said, that is, as all things reflect consonant and proportionate motions, the aspect of the deity is reflected in a straight line, making the body circular and again dividing one circular body into two equivocal circles and doubly coordinated zodiacs. Since the motion which is from east to west in the equivocal circle is above the poles of the world. The poles above which the motion is made, which is under the zodiac from west to east, are distant from the poles of the world almost twenty-four degrees. However, one circle is distant from the poles of the world twenty-four degrees. Therefore, one circle is... The circle of the zodiac sits in seven degrees according to the motion of the planets. These are in some way connected to the soul and the movements of the heavens, as much as the movements of the soul. Someone might ask which ascent was in the sky. It is clear that there was none. For, as it was proven, the heavens and the world are interconnected. The heavens are a body, because it is naturally circular. At the opposite is the earth. It is said that Plato placed the heavens as a natural fire which is of regular dimensions. Therefore, Plato said that the first god made a regular sphere, which the poets reflected in a circle, so that the motion would be more uniform and regular from east to west. Thirdly, because this uniformity was not sufficient to cause generation and corruption, which include diversity, it was necessary to have the zodiac under which the sun moves, from whose approach causes generation in things and from whose withdrawal causes corruption. The zodiac was divided into seven [parts] accordingly. planetas vt dictu est: In the first place, this physical substance proposes an opinion of Plato's and destroys it in regard to what is proper to it. In the second place, it is in common with others there. The same thing is inconvenient. The first destroys it because it is not possible of itself. The second because it does not save appearance there. And the manifest truth is that the opinion supposes four things: that the heavens are magnitudinal, circular, moving, and mixed with body. The first therefore destroys the first. The second destroys it there. It is necessary. The third requires investigation there. The third is amplius Prima. Intellctus non est magnitudo, sed anima quam Plato loquitur idem est. Circa hoc procedit phus: because the pmo sets a conclusion in tenta. The second sets it in a lesser place. That is, the third. major ibi. Intellectus autem quatuor ad pnum ponit conclusio unum bnum dr quod noest bnum dre aiam eam magnitudine. Dein sequitur eam em. Vbi ponit minor scrz quod aiua de quod loquit Plato est intellectus loquit em de ea aiua quae est oculis.

Notandum est comtatore in exposicohuis quod actio intellectus assimilatur circulo, quia intellectus suipsum et ideo platonici qui dicebant quod actio aiue est circularis noe loquebantur de illa quae est reflexiva et supersubstantialis. Talis autem intellectus propter sui elevationem a materia est potentia rediens ad seipsum reditio perfecta. Vos suban. Cum em autem aliae potentiae sint organicae et consubstantiales, non sunt per se subsistentes, solus. intelligentia in hoc approches substances, for there is neither intellect nor power in a substance. That is, the intellect itself perceives itself. And note that this return is derived from matter, and therefore the power that is deprived of matter is like organic power in that it can manifest itself. Then follows Intelligentia or a lesser reason, where it places a major reason, for intellect is not a magnitude as was proven, but rather it is more a sequence or series, for one intelligible thing is understood after another, and intellect is one and continuous like intelligibles. That is, the intellect is one and continuous like operations. Intellect and operations are one and continuous, just as operations are cognized through an act. Intellect and object are one as we are, and intellect is one and continuous like objects, for an act occurs through objects. \"Consequentely, having and not as the magnitude follows, because it is not continuous in magnitude, but is either imperceptible or the continuity of it is not coherence of magnitude. Then follows the question of how one is to understand where the secondary ratio is placed and is it tangible, if the intellect is a magnitude or if it understands through contact with any part of itself, or through contact with one part, or if it is through contact with the whole, but it understands nothing in this way.\" Regarding this reasoning, physics proceeds as follows, placing under question its own intention. Secondly, it proves that there is no true division there. As for the first part, concerning what the intellect is a magnitude and how it understands any part of it, it follows that any part of it, that is, any part of the object, is understood through contact.\n\nTherefore, it is through contact with a part that the intellect understands. However, it first proves that it does not understand through contact with a point. secundo sm contactum cuiusli\u2223bet partis sui ibi. Si vero. terciscdm contactum vnius partis tantum ibi.

Si vero. Vbi {pro}bat {quod} talis tactus no\u0304 est ex eo {quod} intellectus \"if the intellect understands a thing as divisible, and this is the case if the intellect understands it with great magnitude and infinitely, since for each part of itself it applies itself to every intelligible thing, and if these parts are applied to infinities, it is contrary to truth that this application is understood to be infinite: for we see that the intellect can intelligize a whole body at once in a single instance, and it does not require repeated intelligence of one and the same thing. It should be noted that the parts through which the intellect successively understands the intelligible thing are not themselves infinite in total. However, some things taken individually may return the whole. Or they may be parts of nothing and then the intellect understands many things as one, because such parts are infinitely contained\" The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of intellect and its relationship to tangible objects. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Disputable is the same proportion and not the same quantity in infinite extent, as in the third physical sense. Then follows: If it were proven that the third [thing] is such that intellect does not understand by touching one part to the same extent. But if this were the case, other parts would overflow, and it would not be necessary that intellect be the size of these talents, because other parts overflow. Then follows: If it were necessary for intellect to destroy what is quartered and says that if it is necessary to understand the whole circle, that is, the circular magnitude, intellect touching the whole, then who will be touched by the parts? It should be noted that the indivisible is the whole in the whole and in every part, because the whole is in the whole and a part in the part, that is, by the reason of that which is part.\" et pertes intellegit eodem modo intellectus indivisibilis, non est totum quantumitatem intelligige successeione partes superflue intellegit quicquid intellegit. Deinde sequit Amplius, quod ponit tercia rationem, qua poit cometator sic. Impossible est nobis dicere, intellectus intelligit per tactum quam si dixerimus, quod pertes indivisibles quomodo tangit partes divisibiles res et hoc est quod dicit phusicom quomodo intelliget per impertibiles partes et conversely. Queret auctor aliquis utrum intellectus intelligat per contactum. Dicendum est, quod contactus potest intellectuali potentiae cognitiva ad objecum possumus intelligere multis modis. Primo quare: potencia cognoscit extra mittedo quod visus videt extra mittedo quasi occurrdo per radios visuales rei visibili et iste contactus non est possibilis isto in intellectu qui non est virtus organica\n\nSecundo, intelligi iste contactus quod intellectus componit ex eisdem realiter ex quibus componitur res cognita propter assimilationem cognoscentis ad cognitum ita quod haec assimilatio realis dicat contactus necessarius ad intelligendum et talis contactus magis impedit intellectione quae expediat\n\nTercio, intelligi iste contactus quod in intellectus est magnitudo perceptibilis et hoc contactu improbavit phus ilia quod intellectus non est magnitudo sed virtus spiritualis imperceptibilis et ipsum potest omnia intelligere Imperceptibilia intelligit proprietates. If the intellectual and material are distinguishable because the intellectual abstracts from matter, in the fourth mode it is understood that the intellectual is moved by the object in the intellect of the agent, making the possible intellectual act, which is virtual and such a contact is not impossible in the intellect but rather more necessary.\n\nNecessity arose after nature had produced this, because the intellect is not a magnitude, as this showed, since it is not a circular magnitude and is divided into two parts, according to the second reason. Furthermore, the second reason is as follows. If the intellect is a circular magnitude, its operation, which is intelligence, is circular and its motion is circulation, but since it is impossible for intelligence to be a circulation, just as it is impossible for a circular motion to have an end, therefore, and an answer, it is impossible that the intellect is a circle. This reason is based on three propositions. The first is that if the intellect is a circle, intelligence is circulation. The second is that the intellect is not a circular magnitude. If intelligence is what is circulated there, intelligence is a third thing, for intellect does not always understand what is there. Practically, as it is said, it is necessary for there to be a circle whose necessity is that motion is intelligible, that is, to understand. The motion of a circle is circulation. Therefore, if intelligence is a circle and understanding is its motion, it follows that the intellect will be a circle whose circulation is understanding. Furthermore, it is stated in the second place that if understanding is circulation, understanding always understands and this is perpetual. A circular motion is not finite, for there is no point in it that is in act where there is a greater reason for the motion to end in that point than in another, and by consensus it is not finite. The following text discusses the nature of practical and speculative intelligence. The third position is clear where it is placed, as it is debated whether all understanding is practical or speculative, or both. The argument begins with the practical. Secondly, it addresses the speculative. Speculative intelligence is discussed first. It is said that practical intelligence is a kind of intelligence, specifically the termination of operations, as all practical intelligence is the cause of something else, for use and end. The commentator, in Metaphysics, states that all sciences that act and operate use argumentation.\n\nRegarding practical intelligence, there are two acts. The first is simple understanding, as a practitioner defines a thing in the same way a doctor defines health or a carpenter defines an arch. The second act is to reason, and this act terminates in practical reasoning. Therefore, the commentator in Metaphysics states that all sciences that act and operate use argumentation.\n\nHere is the cleaned text:\n\nThe third position is clear where it is placed, as it is debated whether all understanding is practical or speculative, or both.

The second act is to reason, and this act terminates in practical reasoning. Therefore, the commentator in Metaphysics states that all sciences that act and operate use argumentation. arguments are not simple in them, there is no science except for the sake of work and the end. From this, it argues that those things which are for the end. \u00b6Next, it follows that speculation is subordinate to intellect in this respect. A conclusion is put first in this argument, namely, that speculative reasons terminate. It says, for example, that speculation is similar to practice. Second, it puts forward a major premise, namely, that speculative reason is definition or demonstration. It is said that a ratio is a speculative reason, either a definition or a demonstration, which terminates and is about simple quiddities to the intellect, or a demonstration which is necessary to the conclusions from given premises. Third, it puts forward a minor premise, that this demonstration terminates and is from demonstrations. Concerning definitions, it is said that demonstrations end. The demonstrations are based on a certain principle. That is, they depend on certain premises and have a definite end in a valid syllogism or conclusion. The intellect rests in the demonstrated conclusion, and it is ineffective if someone doubts that something is in the demonstration, because another conclusion arises from one conclusion. This doubt undermines the conclusion, as for example, in the case of the nature of phus, in demonstrations, it is not a textual exposition but rather the conclusion of a single syllogism is the proposition in another and is supported by another middle term and is concluded accordingly. In this way, demonstrations are multiplied indirectly and do not form a circle.\n\nNext, definitions. This was his argument: Every intellect, which is simple understanding, and a definition is a termination of it. Therefore, all definitions are finite. The reason for this is that a definition is of a genus and in the defined thing, it is a status because it does not allow departure into the infinite or in the genus, nor is it indifferent, but it is a status in the most general and in the difference, which ultimately. constituit speciem. Then follows. Further, where he places a second reason to what is proposed, this ratio is founded on one foundation, and it is because the same circular motion often is to be found in the same space, which is not possible in other motions. For in a necessary rectilinear motion, if it returns and intercepts rest, the terms are in act. But if something is moved from A to A and back, the intercepting term does not act similarly in a circular motion, because no term is in act. From this proposition, therefore, physics argues that the circular motion contains the same motion repeatedly. If, therefore, circulation is to be understood, it follows that one and the same thing must be understood many times, and this is what the Lyra says. Further, if circular motion is many times repeated, it is necessary that many things be understood as the same. It should be noted that this ratio could have been formed otherwise, so as to be a proof of the dictum that demonstrations do not reflect circularly: but they proceed in direct order. Ratio item huius demonstrationis hic assignat quod si a praemissis ad conclusiones et e converso fieret processus sequeretur duo conveniencia. Primum est quod idem est notum per se et nihil per se. Quod idem a quo intellectus in demonstrationibus est notum per se, illud autem ad quod intellectus procedit, est notum per se. Si ergo id quod fuisset principium fiat finis id erit notum per se et nihil per se. Siquidem aliquis dicat quod unum nihil magis ratione principium quam aliud vel quid finis tuus sequit aliquid inconveniens, nihil erit maior ratio quod quiescat in uno quam in altero et nunquam finiretur processus demonstrationis et sic multisic idem intelligeret. Alio modo potest intelligi ista ratio, quod circulatio in demonstrationibus principium duobus modis intelligitur. Uno modo per terminos vel principia cognoscimus quae termini cognoscimus. Secundo modo ut coecusum ex alio quod scimus fit reflexio ad principia, hoc ita videtur redire ad. The text appears to be written in an ancient Latin script. I will translate it into modern English while removing unnecessary characters and formatting.\n\npermanent thing understands the terms, understands as such not, and thus understands a closed thing and the same thing understands as such and not as such and not open and so on. Furthermore, intelligence: After physical things have shown that the intellect is not a magnitude, this one shows that it is a moving magnitude and this through two reasons. The second one follows. But the first reason is not such, for the perfect intellect consists neither in rest nor in intelligence, i.e., to understand is more akin to quiet and stability than to motion. And in the same way, a syllogism, i.e., logical operation of the intellect, therefore the intellect is not a moving magnitude. One might ask why the operation of the intellect is more akin to quiet than to motion. It must be said that some things are so because if the inferior forces are not restrained and kept in quiet, the intellect has no perfect use. Hence, the physical says that the aether in resting and being quiet becomes prudent. And thus, it can be said: The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between intellect, action, and perfection. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nnoest iri ad mentem phi quia non loquitur de quiete virium inferiorum, sed magis de quo et intellectus in se si tacitur quiescere. Est ergo dicendum alter, quod dra est inter motu et operatione, quia motus est actus imperfecti tendentis ad perfectionem et consequens motus excludit perfectionem et quietem. Si igitur intelligere esset movi, intelligere non esset perfici nec quiescere in perfectione. Operatio autem est actus perfecti et ideo non excludit, sed magis includit perfectionem et quietem in eadem. Cuicumque intelligere sit operatio, ut supra dictum est, sequitur quod intelligere assimilatur quieti et perfectioni. Intelligendum ergo quod intellectus dum est in potentia vel in habitu, non est in actu et actus est perfectionem et quies in intellectu quiescit per ipsum perfecte coniungitur objeto. \u00b6Deinde sequitur. At vero. Vbi ponit secunda ratio, quae est talis, si intelligere e movi, intelligere non beatificat. beatitudo consists in that which is consonant with nature and not violated. Motion is the property of the soul and what violates it, and this is what the Latin \"quod\" means - it is not beatitude because it is not easy, consonant, and delightful, but rather violent. Motion, however, is not of the substance itself of the soul. It is rather external to nature. Someone might ask, \"If beatitude is from nature as it is said,\" some have said that \"beatitude is from nature, and we are born fit to be blessed.\" However, in truth, these do not accord with the philosopher's meaning, for nature does not speak of that which can be made blessed and of him who is born for this, but rather of the rational cause of blessedness. Therefore, it must be said that nature is called the cause of many things, that is, the nature of matter and form and the operations following from them. Nature does not speak of the nature of the prime matter and the second and third natures, but rather of the ethical nature. It is to be understood that beatitude is not in potentiality or habit but in act. To understand:\n\nIntellectuale intelligere. ergo est intellectus naturalis sicut propria passio eius. Est intentio hic dicere, quod beatitudo est in naturae perfectione intellectus, ideo facilis et delectabilis loquitur hic corpus de beatitudine naturali, non supernaturali, quasi diceret, quod est naturale unum et violentum. Sed perfectionem in qua est beatitudo est naturalis. Ergo et cetera.\n\nSecundo quereret aliquis. Ut motus sit pter naturam, sicut dr in lr. Ad hoc dicunt aliqui, quod motus ideo est pter naturae animae, quia corpus non competet sibi motus per se, sed magis per accidents, et ex hoc confirmatur ista ratio, quod anima in sui divisibilitate magis assimilatur unitati quam puncto, cuius ratio est quod punctus est unitas situata. Unum autem simpliciter acceptum abstrahit a situ cum ergo anima non sit situabilis, assimilatur unitati et per consequens abstrahit a situ et a motu. Sed si haec ratio diceret verum in se, tamen non ad propositum, quia Platonici. The text discusses the notion that the soul is movable and that this motion distracts it from its perfection, leading to the idea that beatitude is a natural perfection and passion of the intellectual soul. Augustine, in his work \"De Trinitate,\" Book 15, notes that Plato attempted to persuade humans that souls existed before they inhabited bodies. The ideas discussed are reminiscent of earlier knowledge, as habits of learning from another life supersede new cognition.\n\nHowever, it is laborious when contrasting Plato's perspective, as he posited the soul as commingled with the body. This passage intends to clarify that beatitude is a natural perfection and passion of the intellectual soul, which is distracted from this natural state by motion. habitus ibi ex co\u0304\u00a6municatione anime ad corpus\u00b7 ex hoc sequitur {quod} anima coniungi\u2223tur corpori quasi contra naturam suam quia uon propter bonum su\u00a6um sed magis ad suppressionem hgbituum et scienciarum. ex quo sequitur {quod} melius est intellectu\u0304 nou esse in corpore {quam} esse et {quod} in desiderio eius est fugere corpus in quo est sicut i\u0304 carcere. hoc viso pa\u00a6ret littera que dicit {quod} s opinio\u2223nem platonis laboriosum est ani\u2223me commisceri corpori.

Di\u2223cendum est {quod} anima prius no\u0304 ha\u00a6buit habitus. Primo quia non fuit ante corpus. Secondly, because, as the philosopher says, a creature is like a blank tablet on which nothing is inscribed. Thirdly, because, as the philosopher says, the soul acquires knowledge from sensibles. Therefore, the first lack of one sense results in the lack of one science, and so the soul is not in the body unnaturally; rather, it is more natural for a form to be in its matter, and consequently the body is for the good of the soul because the soul exercises its operations through bodily organs, just as an art exercises its operations through instruments. Augustine responds to the argument that the boy did not respond in an ordered way as if he had previously had habits, but this was because the light of our intellect is subordinated to intelligibles, and so in the same light that boy saw those intelligibles. However, to this cooperated his questioning and his asking and so in the end his interrogations followed. Manifestly it appears. Where after [physics] showed that Plato's position was not. This text appears to be written in Latin and contains several errors, likely due to Optical Character Recognition (OCR). I will do my best to clean and translate the text while maintaining its original content.\n\nHere's the cleaned text:\n\nPossibilis hic ostendit quod s ipsam non potest reddi ratio de parentibus, specialiter de motu caeli. Primo igitur physicus ponit intium suum, dicens quod unum manifestum est causa quare caelum ferat circulo, motu circulari. Deinde sequitur. Neque enim aiunt quod substantia animae sit causa huius motus circularis anima movetur circulariter, sed anima opinione Platonis non hoc nisi aspectu recto et connuo movet, nisi motu recto. Deus autem reflexit ea in circulum, et hoc ut motus anime esset conformis motibus caeli. Neque potest dici quod causa huius motus sit corpus caeli anima magis causat viis corporis, quod econusus et per connuos motus caeli est magis ab anima quam a corpore. Neque potest dici quod causa huius motus est finis. Si enim dicatur quod caelum vel anima caeli movetur circulariter quia melius est eam sic moveri quam non, non sufficit sic dicere, sed opportet. assignare quare sit melius quod quidem non assignatur a platonicis, qui causam debuerunt dicere propter qua deus voluit eam sic moueri. Verum tempus quia huic causa quare videtur celum moui circulariter, non spectat ad hanc scientiam.

Multi enim opinati sunt de anima, qui nichil loquebantur de corpore in quo recepitur anima, quod tamen est incohueniens, quia propria forma nobene declaratur nisi bene declararetur proprietas eius.\n\nPrimo ergo phus ponit istud incohuenies quod accidit sic opinionibus. Secundo enim obiettum hoc esse incohueniens ratione ibi et tamen videtur. Tertio manifestat idem per signum ibi. Simile quantum ad primum. This text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it discusses the concept of the relationship between the soul and the body according to Plato and others. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"This is what happens to the same reasoning or opinion of Plato about the soul. There are indeed many who hold such views about the soul, placing it in the body without determining any cause or manner in which the soul is in the body. Then it is said that this is inconvenient according to reason, and the reason is as follows. Inconvenience is omitting what is necessary for the knowledge of the soul. But for the knowledge of the soul, the cognition of the body is necessary, and therefore, inconvenience is omitting the determination of the body. And this is what the letter says. However, it also seems necessary to consider the disposition of the body due to the community or proportion that exists between the soul and the body. The soul does this, and the body endures it. And the soul moves the body or nothing moves them towards each other. There is no such proportion between them.\" quibusquae. i.e. the proportion of soul and body is not contingently related to which body, but determined and therefore those who thought otherwise sinned, because they only attempted to say what the soul is. Of the body received by the soul, they said nothing, as if it were possible for every soul to enter any body indifferently. From this it is clear that the soul does not have a determinate aspect to a determinate body, and therefore a rational being does not enter one body rather than another as a rule, but any being can enter indifferently.\n\nThen follows Simile in this way. Where he proved that this was inconvenient by simile,\n\nIt is necessary to note the following for clear understanding. The soul is assimilated to art, the body to the instrument of art. Just as art exercises its act through an instrument, such as a carpenter through a chisel, so the soul exercises its operations through the body. Therefore, it is inconvenient to say that a specialized art looks indifferently at all instruments, and similarly it is inconvenient to say that the soul indifferently. subintrat quodcumque corpus. Puta quod anima elephants intret corpus muscae. Et hoc est quod dicit littera: quod qui sic dicit, scimus anima indifferenter intrat quodcumque corpus, sicut si quis dicat rhetoricam, id est artem illam, ingredi fistulas, id est in organa alterius partis artis. Si enim ars fistulandi natura habet subintrare organa, subintrat organum proprium et non alienum. Quereret aliquis utrum anima indifferenter aspiciat quodcumque corpus. Dico quod non. Ad hoc videtur assignare Avicenna una rationem quae talis est. Impossibile est diversitatem in numero sub eadem specie causari nisi ex diversitate materiae, quia ad diversitatem formarum principiis sequitur diversitas speciei. Si autem anima hic habet materiam ex qua fit, sequitur quod individuetur per materiam in qua est, et per consequens non aspicit omne corpus, sed tantum hoc per quod individuatur. Si autem anima indifferenter aspiceret quodcumque corpus, sicut quidam putant, non esset:\n\n(Translation:\nSubstance enters whatever body. For instance, the soul of an elephant might enter the body of a fly. And this is what the letter says: he who speaks thus knows that the soul indifferently enters whatever body, just as if someone were to say that rhetoric, that is, that art, enters fistulas, that is, into the organs of another art. For if the art of fistula-making has the nature to enter organs, it enters its own organ and not another's. One might ask whether the soul indifferently perceives whatever body. I say it does not. To this end, Avicenna assigns a reason for this. It is impossible for diversity in number under the same species to be caused except from the diversity of matter, because diversity of forms follows from the principles of diversity. If, however, this soul has matter from which it is made, it follows that it is individuated by that matter, and consequently it does not perceive every body, but only that through which it is individuated. If, however, the soul indifferently perceives whatever body, as some suppose, it is not:) This text appears to be written in an ancient form of Latin, likely with some errors introduced during Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing. I will attempt to clean and translate it to modern English as faithfully as possible to the original content.\n\nThe given text reads:\n\n\"\"\"\"\nsubstancia separata creata ante corpus et que potest transire de corpore in corpus, sicut videtur, posuit Pythagoras sequi. Quod duae animae different specie et uno numero tantum. Haec ratio multum cogens videtur, supposito quod duae substancie separate non possunt differre solo numero, sed hoc est dubium apud multos qui supponunt pro vero, quod possunt fieri plura differentia numero solo in subjectis separatis. De hoc ante diximus super vij. metaphysicis, diffusius et qua ratio dubia est, ideo procedendum est alia via. Et dicendum quod aether est forma et est motor sub quodam pori natura est forma quam motor. Si enim esset motor tantum et non forma, ita coniungeretur corpori sicut nauta in navi vel sicut homo in indumento, ut narrat Gregorius Nazianzenus de Platone, quod potest aspicere quodcumque corpus indifferenter: sed quia non est motor nisi quia sub quodam pori est forma. Ideo, sicut esse formam dat sibi aspectum proprium ad propriam materiam, ita esse motorem ut non est.\n\"\"\"\n\nCleaned and translated text:\n\n\"Separated substance created before the body and which can pass from one body to another, as Pythagoras seemed to follow, was of two different species and only one number. This argument is compelling, assuming that two separate substances cannot differ only in number, but this is doubtful for those who suppose that there can be many differences in number in separate subjects. We have already discussed this in detail in Book 5 of Metaphysics, and the issue is unclear, so another approach is necessary. It should be said that aether is both a form and a motor that is a form under certain porous nature. If it were only a motor and not a form, it would be connected to the body like a sailor in a ship or a man in clothing, as Gregory Nazianzenus in Plato relates, and could see any body indifferently. But since it is not a motor unless it is a form under certain porous nature. Therefore, just as having the form gives it a proper aspect to its own matter, so having the motor is not the case.\" for formulae concerning the moving cause of any body and this is evident in the explanation of this text the diversity of organs. Whence it is said that the limbs of a lion do not differ from the limbs of a terrestrial animal except for the difference of soul between the bear's soul and the lion's soul. And if it were possible for the lion's soul to exist in the body of a bear, then nature would be idle and this is clear in the diverse souls. It is also clear that the same commentator in the same species manifests the diversity of matter, which argues for the diversity of souls and so on.\n\nAnother opinion, however, after nature destroyed Plato's opinion, destroys this opinion here. First, this opinion is presented. Second, it is refuted there. And indeed, harmony. Therefore, first, it is objected to what other opinion was given concerning the soul, which is more credible, that is, the opinion that was rationally established concerning the soul in common. antiqui arguebant {per} {con}munia prebet alias rationes par\u00a6ticulares et directiuas probantes hanc animam esse quandam armo\u00a6niam\u00b7 ponebant enim corpus com\u2223poni ex contrarijs. armoniam aute\u0304 dicebant esse compositionem & tem\u00a6{per}amentum id est proportionem ho\u00a6rum contrario{rum} \u00b6Deinde sequi\u00a6tur.

Armonia vel est {con}positio vel ratio\n{con}posito{rum} sed anima neut{rum} horum est ergo no\u0304 est armonia. hec a\u0304t ra\u00a6tio fundatur su{per} duas {pro}positiones Prima est {quod} armonia est {con}posico\u0304 vel ratio The following text is in Latin and requires translation and some cleaning. Here is the cleaned version:\n\nPosition manifests itself as harmony or proportion between mixed elements, according to the commentator. This is the case if the position is in a certain mode of complexion, and then harmony or the ratio of position is itself the position, for example, a position of elements in conjunction rather than mixture, such as the composition of a house from bricks and walls. In another way, this could be manifested in that which encompasses the composite in some way, so that the quantities of the encompassed are not saved, just as miscible things are in a mixture, and this composition is called mixture and is called the ratio of composition by the philosopher. Sometimes they encompass in such a way that the species and quantities of the encompassed are saved, just as homogeneous things come together in composition, and heterogeneous things, like oil and water, are called composition by the philosopher.\n\nThe second position is that the soul of these [things] is clear from the gradation and elevation. formarum. A form is mixed over the form of an element and the form of the soul over both. Its figure is what the soul has or performs that are not reducible to nor can be derived from motion. It is not moved by motion itself, but harmony is left behind from motion, just as consonance is left behind from the motion of strings. Ratio does not seem to compel much because it does not seem impossible that what is left behind from motion can move. For example, in the second place, the first change is sensibly from generation, and it could be said of the appetitive and motive, since it follows that the sensory or appetitive is left behind from motion and yet the appetitive is not prepared to move and the motive is executed. Therefore, it seems that one should say that either harmony does not move or does not move by that motion which is suitable for the soul and consequently is not a soul. For the soul is to move to many things, just as vegetation itself moves upwards and downwards and otherwise moves by progressive motion and by the motion of contraction and dilatation. Such motions, however, are not these. The following text discusses the harmony of elements and the differences between the body and soul. It mentions that the actions and passions of the first forms can be perceived due to the different compositions of elements. We can say that the action of flesh in the hand is different from the action of bone due to the softness and moisture of flesh and the hardness and durability of bone. It is clear that the passions of the body are not attributed to harmony.\n\nFurthermore, when the fourth reason is introduced, it differs from the third: for in the third it was proven that those who believe the soul to be harmony lack, or cannot complete the actions and passions of the soul through composition, which is harmony. in this manner it is shown that they fail, because they cannot complete the diversity of substance in soul from position and harmony. In this manner, therefore, pqr divides harmony into two modes. In the first mode, properly and primarily, armor is introduced in those who have magnitude, motion, and order, or a position ordered in this way, so that no congenital requirement, that is, no requirement for that nature's kind, is lacking in this way, as we say that harmony is in a lyre when no cord is missing nor the string of the cords or something of this kind. In another mode, we say that harmony is a ratio, that is, a proportion, of those that are mixed, as we say that flesh has become accustomed from the right mixture of elements. The first kind of harmony is in those that are in a composed state with their own qualities, such as walls and stones in a house. The second kind is in the mixture, as the philosopher says, regarding generation. alterarum vnio. Deinde sequit Neutro quidem igitur, mode. In quo premissa distinctione armoniae arguantur ad posituum. Et primo probatur quod anima non est armonia prima modo. Secundo quod non est armonia secunda modo. Ibi, similiter, ratio prima talis est compositio prius corporis et diversitas eiusdem multa est manifesta. Diversitas autem in pertibus anime multa est occulta. Ex quo sequitur quod haec diversitas secunda non est attributa prius. Hoc est ergo quod dicit Lara Neutro igitur mode, rationabile est esse animam. Compositio enim parvorum corporis, que dicit armoniam primo modo, multum inquirenda est. Facile est scire ordine carnis ad ossa vel utriusque ad mavum. Facile est scire quod compositiones parvorum corporis multae sunt et de anima non ita. Cuius enim compositionis et quomodo scimus per quam compositionem congruat intellectum vel sensum vel appetitum, non est manifestum, quia per compositionem non possunt bene reddi. The distinction between souls as stated before is not clearly rendered, for the soul, as it is said, is not the same as the intellect or sense. Following this, it is also the case that where it is proven that the soul is not an armor, as armor is called a mixture and is a reason of this kind. Another kind of mixture is alienation or diversity among members. Therefore, if the soul is the reason for mixture, it follows that in the same man there are diverse souls and diverse mixtures, as the Law says, because it is similarly inconvenient for the soul to be the reason for mixture, which is harmony in the second sense. It is not the same reason for mixture that is the flesh and that is the bone. Consequently, it will follow that every body has many souls and diverse mixtures of members. The reason for this is: because all things are composed of elements.\n\nHowever, the reason for mixture is called harmony and life. The commentator is compelled to say that in this there are many souls and that in every member there is a soul and in the body there is a soul, or to say that there is a rational soul in harmony. que facit membra et armonia, quia si omnino idem est, sequitur quod mixtionum et armorum diversitas sequitur diversitas animarum, sicut quod carnis et ossis alia est aia. Deinde sequitur. Inquiescet autem. Vbi specialiter philosophus descendit ad opinionem de pedoclis, ostendens eam inadequatam, quia non potuit satis facere dubia que sequuntur ex ea. Ostendit autem hoc tribus modis secundus ibi. Amplius autem. Terquemque armonia quam dicit animam vel alia, si idem sequitur. Quod ex quo ibi sunt multiae mixtiones erunt multae anime. Si autem aliud cum ipso proportio mixtionis fit armonia corporis, sequitur quod anima non est armonia corporis, cuius tamen contrarium dicit. Et hoc est quod dicit littera: quod aliquis investigabit ab Empedocle, qui posuit unum quodque hoc corpus sit illa ratio, id est proportio aut aliquid alterum. Si enim est idem, sequitur quod sint diversae animae in eodem cum huiusmodi proportio sit diversa in diversis partibus. suppleatur lra if it is of the altem, follows that the soul is not harmony of the body. Then follows Amplius. Where the second ratio is placed. One could say that the soul is a mixture or proportion of elements, but what causes it from a harmonious mixture of elements. Contra hoc argues nature, for such harmony causing the soul is either the harmony of any mixture, and then where is the mixture, there is the soul, because it is impossible or some special mixture is the cause of the soul, and this is impossible because then wherever there is a mixture, it is the soul or its mixture is a special reason, but this is impossible because the soul is not the cause of itself or another, and Empedocles insufficiently spoke, for he did not assign what this other is not called a violent force. And especially concerning the intellect, for it is not a body nor a power in the body, and this is what it intimates, lra. It is uncertain whether this is the true ratio or something else, for with whatever mode it is said to be followed, there is an inconvenience, as has been stated. Therefore, this indeed argues against it for those who placed this harmony and sets down two reasons.\n\nHowever, in response, it is said that what has been said has such doubts, for if it is said as it is said by Empedocles, it is doubted as it has been doubted. But the opposing arguments are refuted. If the soul is something other than what is mixed from the commingling, what is it that animates the animal and withdraws form the animal's body and senses, requiring such matter or such an organ for its existence? The ratio does not have a place in the intellectual soul, which can be outside matter.\n\nFurthermore, where the second reason is placed and is such, the body's one perception fails when the soul is lacking. But this cannot be otherwise than because the soul is the same as that which requires the existence of such matter or such an organ. mixtio corporis et quia unaque parte corporis habet animam et hoc est quod dicit littera. However, if the same unaque parte corporis habet animam and if animam non est ratio compositionis, quid est deficiente anima corrumpitur unaque percium. It is to be noted that argumentum non cogit. Such corruption is not propter idem, sed quia anima continet corpus et mixturam eiusdem, and ideo, sublato continente, corpus soluitur. Furthermore, corpus non corrumpitur immediate ad corrupzione anime, sed magis sublata anima soluitur forma mixtionis, et sic corrumpitur corpus. However, forma mixtionis et anima dicant duas formas requirit aliam speculatio. At least they do not say duas rationes. If they say duas res, as it is probably put, immediately it appears that argumentum non valet. Deinde sequitur: Quod quidem igitur concludit pers pcedens. Unum dicit quod manifestum est ex dictis quod anima non est armonia et quod non circuiter moueri potest. as it is stated, this happens: the soul moves itself, and the following is moved by what moves in the thing in which it is located. This body, however, is moved by the soul, and so the soul moves itself through accidents. Otherwise, it is impossible for that to be moved in place. It should be noted that we are moved by what is within us, and therefore the corporeal body moves the soul. From this it can be argued thus: the soul moves the body, but the body in motion moves the soul; therefore, the soul moves itself through accidents or through the motions of the body.\n\nReasonable objections are raised after physics has rebuked the fact that the soul does not move here. It puts forward some doubt as to whether it is more likely that the soul moves or is moved. First, it solves this doubt. But this is not the case. Therefore, it is argued thus:\n\nThe soul is saddened and rejoices, and the same is true of other passions. But these passions seem to be motions, therefore the soul moves. And this is what the law says: that someone will reasonably doubt about the soul more than those who preceded. tanquam de ipso considerans et arguens in homois scrae passionibus. Dicimus anima tristari et gaudere, confidere et timere, irasci sentire et intelligere. Haec omnia videtur esse motus. Undique sequitur. Hoc autem non est.

Notandum est quod eorum que fuit cum motu corporibus est durum quod in quibusdam passionibus fit motibus organiz. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between the soul, heart, and organs in the context of emotions and movements. Here's the cleaned text:\n\nlocus sicut in ira quod fit motibus quibusdam per tribus corpus suum, sanguis eciam extra movetur ad interiores motus a furore cordis. Quidem vero quaedam alteratio, nam cor ad praesentem nec propter se nec propter organum sequitur. Dicere ante irasci animam. Ubi manifestat sua solutionem et primo in passionibus appetitus apetitus est. Secundo in ipso intellectus ibi Intellectus aut quatuor ad primum notandum est, quod physis dixit. Quia motus non prius est in anima, sed in organo, sicut in corde vel in alio. In quibusdam autem actionibus organa sunt manifesta, sicut organa edificantis vel texentis. In passionibus autem appetitus organum quod movetur non est manifestum: quia intrinsecum est. Ex hoc aliquis posset moueri ad credendum, quod motus passionum attributi animi sunt, quod excludens physis dixit, quod duobusmodi organum movetur, siue intrinsecum siue extrinsecum, nichil variat in re. Quia actiones et passionum animae, quae factae sunt per organa, sunt coniunctae. illa organa sint externa aut intrinseca. Ipsum etiam intelligere est coniuncti: quia licet intelligere non communicet organo, tamen communicat communicanti organo sicut fantasie. Textus et edificatio sunt compositi et per consequens irasci nec est differencia nisi in hoc: quia ibi motus sunt in organis apparentibus. Textura et edificatio funt per membra apparitionem motus autem istorum est in membris occultis. Et ideo utrumque est coniuncti.\n\nHence, to understand is more related to man than soul not because motus are in anima but because they are of another nature and directed towards illa - that is, anima and sensus. Sensatio est motus factus in sensibus in sensum alteri aut motus sunt ab illa - that is, anima - ad res. Reminiscentia est motus ab illa - that is, anima - qui motus aut quietes sunt in organis sensibilibus et non in. anima quod motus are between the soul and the senses, and are placed in the sensible organ. The commentator explains this about memory as follows: the motion whose principle is external and whose end is the soul is the motion of sensation. But the motion of memory, whose principle is in the air and whose end is outside, may reach the sense and perhaps virtue, the mover of the imaginative faculty, may move the sense and perhaps it may not. The same commentator explains this further: this motion, whose principle is from the soul, may remain in the body as the instrument of that virtue and may pass to another thing as it reaches the sense, i.e., to the sense organ.\n\nIntellectus, after the question about passions has been resolved regarding the appetitive faculty, is resolved here regarding itself. Regarding its nature, it is called intellectual and rational in two ways. According to the first ethical text, the intellect and rational are one and the same, as they participate in reason. If the intellect were not rational in some way, it would not have moral virtues or be ordered towards good and evil in character. First, the nature acts on the first intellectual thing through its presence. Second, it acts on that which is participatory of it there. To understand, one must understand in two ways: first, concerning the substance of the intellect itself; second, concerning its act. To understand, there are two things: first, because the conclusion is intended and it is said that the intellect seems to be some substance that cognizes and is corrupted. Therefore, the conclusion must be refuted, as the intellect is not corrupted. It is noted that the commentator here intends the physical as referring to the material intellect that comprehends all intentions and encients, and he wanted to say that the physical is in the intellect in the sense that The intellect is a substance for coming to understand all intentions. Therefore, in the third place it will be said that the intellect is possible for all things to be made. From this it can be concluded that it is incorruptible, for that which can make all things is not a body and is not used in a body, nor does it corrupt to corruption of bodies. Therefore, good nature allows that the intellect is not subject to corruption.\n\nSecondly, it is added that it is incorruptible. Then follows, \"Maxime\" (most). Where it was proven that the intention and the reason were proven, if the intellect were corrupted, it would most appear to be corrupted in old age, for an organ is not corrupted in this way, but rather the power of sense, which more sees, is corrupted in old age. This is what the text says. If the intellect were corrupted most, it would be corrupted by that debility which is in it. \"seniorquia tua debilitant organa potentiae, sed forte sic accidit quemadmodum in sensitius potencijs. Ibi non corrumpitur potentia, sed organa. Si senior recepit oculos iuvenis, videt ut iuvenis, quod senior non est, quia anima illud corpus sustinet, sed magis illud corpus in quo est anima, sicut in ebrietatibus et infirmatis. Tunc impediuntur organa sensuum et intellectus impeditur propter sensus impeditos. Quisquam quidem quaeret aliquid simile de senectute et intellectu, quod quidem in phrenes qui dicit forte accidit in intellectu quemadmodo in sensitius. Ad oppositum, intellectus subjacet alienis potencijis, sicut perpetuum a corruptibili, quod quidem nihil potest dici de sensu. Dicendum est, quod non eadem substancia intellectus corrumptur nec per se nec per accidens. Sensitiva\" aute ad minus in alijs, a hoie licet, nihil corrumpatur per se, corrumpitur ad corruptione copositi. In homine aute supposito, quod seu tercia et intellectualia sint una substancia, anima separata non habet actu sensiendi propter defectu organi. habet tamen actu intelligendi.\n\nAd argumentum potest dicere, non est intentio philosophi dicere omnino sit in intellectu sicut in sensu. Sed magis voluit dicere, si sensus in seni corrumpatur, multo minus intellectus. Alio modo potest responderi commentatori. Quod intentio philosophi est dicere, si intellectus corrumpetur, haberet instrumentum corporale et tuuc accideret apud senectutem, quod debiliter intelligere et hoc non sit sequitur, quod non habet instrumentum corporale. Alio modo respondent alii, quod quid phus dicit, forte aute loquit de intellectu non suae opinionis propriae, sed illorum qui posuerunt intellectum virtute organicam.

Following this, it is inquired whether the intellectual participation in something corrupts the composite, just as love and hate are passions subject to concupiscence. And this is what the letter refers to. However, it is clear that the intellect and the passions of the concupiscible subject are not the passions of that soul but of the one joined with it, which has that intellect and therefore does not remember or love when the intellect and the joined entity are corrupted. Because memory and love were not passions of that soul but of the composite. However, it is possible that these things corrupt the intellect, perhaps because it has something of that which is said in the letter. It is said that a commentator should be mentioned in the exposition. The following text appears to be written in an ancient or medieval Latin script. I will do my best to clean and translate it into modern English while staying faithful to the original content.\n\nThe text reads: \"Quod amor et odium attributur rationi quae recipiunt actionem rationis. In hoc pertine animae scarz concupiscibilia videtur, quod non sit aliquid rationale quia est obediens intellectui in omnibus bonis. Ideo istae actiones non sunt intellectus, sed magis virtutum habentium. I. participantium hanc actionem intellectus. Quia sunt actiones huius non similiter, sed illum scarz intellectum habet. Quod cometator hee actiones sunt rationales non per essentiam, sed per participationem.\n\nSecundo, quisque quereret quid phusus conjunxit cum odio et amore intelligere, dicens. Intelligere ante et amare et odire. Ac si intelligere corrumperetur, sicut passiones appetitus.\n\nDicendum est, aliquos quod philosophus non loquitur hic de intellectu propria opinionem, sed illorum qui ponerant quod intellectus esset corruptibilis, et ideo phus volens corrigere hanc opinionem statim subiunxit. Intellectus autem est divinius. Alio.\"\n\nCleaned and translated text:\n\nThis text discusses how love and hate are attributed to the reason that receives their actions. In the case of the soul's concupiscible part, it seems that there is nothing rational about it because it is obedient to the intellect in all good things. Therefore, these actions are not those of the intellect but rather those of virtuous individuals. I. participating in this intellectual action. Since these actions are not similar, but the concupiscible part of the soul has that intellect, the cometator argues that these actions are rational not by essence but by participation.\n\nSecondly, one might wonder what nature joined together hate and love to be understood, saying, \"To understand before and to love and hate.\" As if understanding were to be corrupted, just like passionate appetites.\n\nIt should be noted that in this text, the philosopher does not express his own opinion about the intellect but rather that of those who held the view that the intellect was corruptible. Phus, wanting to correct this opinion, immediately added it. However, the intellect is divine. (End of text) The text discusses the inability of the affection or love, which is located in the sensitive appetite, to move the soul that has been corrupted in some way. The philosopher concludes that it is manifest that this is impossible. If, however, one is not warned, one is moved even more by oneself. The commentator agrees that it is impossible for affection to move [it]. In some parts, as in the intellect, it is not moved, neither essentially nor accidentally. In other parts, it is moved accidentally and not essentially.\n\nAfter physics had corrupted their opinion, those who came seeking affection were disproved by the fact that affection does not move here, according to the opinion of those who said that the soul moves itself. quasi veniensean perception and motion make this opinion, as stated above, impossible in two ways. It continues to relate this. According to the first, he says that the things that are said are irrational to a great extent, as if this opinion were more irrational than others. Whence the author. A sermon that says the soul is a moving number itself is more removed from reason and insufficient. There are many impossible things that occur in this, firstly because what is contained in motion, as stated above, and this because this position says that the soul moves, and this is what the author says. There are indeed such opinions, impossible things occurring from the very motion itself. Secondly, there are impossible things inherent in the number itself, because this position says that the soul is a number. Whence the author. Furthermore, it continues. In what way should we understand this? Where does it destroy the position by numbering? impossibilia quod sequitur et primo adducit impossibilia. Secundo ostendit quod ex definitione data, quod aima est numerus seipsum mouens non contingit reddere passionibus hic. Collectebus igitur primas duas quas primo ducit ad incovenientia que propria sunt huic opinioni. Secundo ad inconvenientia communia opinionibus quod quidam aliorum ibi.\n\nAccidit autem. Prima in sex sex incovenientia. Secundum amplius autem quidam dicunt. Tertio amplius autem a nuo. Quartus supponit et est quod si aia est unitas quam nihil est nisi collectio unitatum mouens seipsum quia eadem ratio est de numero et unitatibus. Tertia propositio est quod ipsum est possible quod unitas movet seipsum quia in re impartibili sicut ea unitas impossibile est dare differentiam moventis et moti. Hoc visum patet littera que dicit: Quomodo enim oppositus sit et positione ex qua sequitur quod si aia est unitas mota hic habens situ et positionem.\n\nSecond proposition is that unity\nis capable of moving itself, because in a indivisible thing, as unity is, it is impossible to give distinction between mover and moved. This text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between points and lines. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"hoc punctum idem est quod posituum. Quod si aia una sit posita, sicut probatum est, ipsum punctum tercia proposito ex dicto thematicis scribitur, quod motus et fluxus puncti facit lineam. Ex quo sequitur, si aia est punctum, efficacem eius est linea. Ex his propositis formet ratio brevis: si aia mota est hoc est, hoc sit, sed puncti effectus est linea, ergo effectus aiae erit ista. Hoc contrarium est falsum. Quia aia efficit vivre, non lineam. Hoc videtur patet, quod dicit Amplius aute: non dicunt scribere methaphysicam lineam motam, hoc est, lineam ex motu et fluxu suo facere planam, i.e., superficiem punctum, aut ex fluxu suo dicunt causare lineam. Quod si hoc verum est, sequitur, motus unitatis ex quibus componitur, animas erunt lineae. I.e., talis unitas causat lineam cujus ratio est quod unitas hoc est.\" position is a point. Such is unity, the number of the soul is somewhere, i.e., concerning its situation. Idea or judgment is about it and the third ratio is such. Concerning reason, if something is subtracted or added to unity, the species changes. For example, if one takes away unity from a quaternion, it becomes a ternary, and if unity is added, it becomes a quinary. This is not solved in animals. For plants and many things divided, they live and are called souls of a different species. However, it should be noted that the commentator does not speak the truth about everything. The quantity is discrete, as is the species in the determined milieu, primarily determined by the last unity and added or subtracted. However, it should be noted that the commentator does not speak the truth about everything. The text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be a scholarly discussion about the nature of matter and unity. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"talis unitate mutatur species et ideo voluit dicere, comentator, quod si anima est, uus est quantitas discreta, ex quo sequitur quod divisia anima mutatur species, quod in quantitate aute continua non habet veritas dictu comentatoris, cuius ratio est quia essencia talis quantitatis consistit in unitate. Nam continuum quoddam unum est, quae ita salvatur in toto sicut in parte.\n\nDeinde sequitur. Videbit autem Vbi ponitur quarta ratio, que funtur super duas propositiones. Prima est quod omne motum corpus est, ex quo sequitur quod si aia componitur ex unitatibus motis, componitur ex corporibus et per hoc hec opinio non differt ab opinionem democriti, qui posuit quod aia componitur ex corporibus parvis. Secunda propositio est quod omne corpus motum, sia parvum sia magnum, movetur ab alio, quia magnum et parvum non variant in hoc, quia ratio quanti salvetur in utroque. Si ergo est dare corpora para:\" The following text is in Latin and requires translation and some cleaning. Here's the cleaned version:\n\nMotas unitas est dare motum, quod magis est desideratum quam unitas mota. Ratio est, quod anima non est motum et motum, sed solum motum solar, quod necessario datur, si unitas mota data est, ut diceret littera, parva corpora nulla differt. Ratio est, quia unitas mota sunt corpora, ut ostensum est, nam DeMOCRITUS spearis, si puncta fierent, id est si Democriti sint adeo parva, ut videantur esse puncta. Tamen erit quiddam in ipso, scilicet in parvo, ipsa movet, quia, si est dare motum, oportet, hoc sit movens et hoc quod movetur. Ita in corporibus parvis habet veritatem, sicut in omni continuo. Ratio est, quia hoc quod dictum est, scilicet in omni quanto moto est dare motum, accidit, quia motum continuum et non quia differat magnitudine aut paruitate. Ex his sequitur, quod necessest aliquid esse motuum unitatum, quae dicuntur componere animam, quare non moves et quod movet est anima, sicut poenebant. I. He warns that only the soul is moving. If there is a soul in an animal, that which is moving in the number is the soul. Therefore, the soul should not be called a movable number, as he placed it, but rather that which is moving is the soul of the number.\n\nII. It follows. In some way. Where the fifth ratio is placed and it is such: If the soul is composed of unities, then every body following it is impossible, therefore and beforehand.\n\nIII. Around this reasoning, physical reality proceeds as it proves two consequences. The first is that if the soul is composed of unities, it is composed of points because such a unifying unity is not anything other than a point. The second proves that if it is composed of points, every body is animated. The second proof is here.\n\nIV. Indeed, therefore, there are other things. The first consequence is proven in this way: Unity, unifying the soul, differs from absolute unity because this unity is moved, which is not in absolute unity. From this it follows that it differs in place because every movement transgresses place. But unity having a place is the same. \"It is said that the points, therefore, are the components of the soul, and this is what the letter Cotingit means, that this unity, which composes the soul, is moved. However, it is necessary for this unity that composes, to have a difference from other unities, that is, absolute unities, except for position and site. For solitary points, that is, absolute unities, differ from material unities, except for position and site. Therefore, it is continued. Since, therefore, it was proven by the second consequence, if the soul is composed of points or the points of the soul are other than the points of the body and the soul pervades the whole body, these points and those are in the same place or are the same, then the number of souls is not other than the number of points in the body. Therefore, in every body, there must be points, which follows from the fact that every body is animate. If the unities composing the soul and the points in the body are different, it follows that\" \"unities and punished ones will be in the same place. For unity itself will obtain the place of a point. But if two unities cannot be in the same and infinite place, because there is no greater ratio in dumbs than in infinites. Since two indivisibles can be together and in infinite places, for whose place is indivisible and they themselves are indivisible, as if they said that the reason for indivisibles is in the same place. Because an indivisible added to an indivisible does not increase [it]. If, however, the number of souls is the same as the number of points in the body, then if so, one should ask whether it is convenient for two points to be together, it seems not according to the sixth rule of the philosophers. They are continuous whose outlines are together, and the last of them, that is, the points, would be similar. On the contrary, it was said by the philosophers. To this question\" respondeatur ab aliquibus quod hoc non est inconveniens simpliciter, sed potius positionem illorum qui ponent animam compositam ex unitatibus motis. Unita mota est corpus, ut ostensum est, ideo philosophus puctum hic vocat corpus parvum. Unde superius dixit quam nichil differt dicere unitates aut corpora parva. Puncta etiam corporis vocat corpora indivisibilia, ex quibus omnia democritus omnia componuntur. Si ergo impossibile est duo corpora esse in eodem loco quia ratione duo et infinita sunt, ita impossibile est duo puncta scilicet animae et corporis esse simul. Alii dicunt quod impossibile est duo puncta esse simul, quia, si essent simul, essent eadem cum puncta non distinguuntur nisi per situm, et hoc est quod philosophus deducit. Si animam componamus ex punctis, quia unitas modo non est punctus, sequitur quod in eodem loco est punctus anime et punctus corporis, quia corpus ubiquique animatur. Aut si in eodem loco sunt et ipsi sunt eadem, et hoc est quod dicit philosophus, quorum locus est indivisibilis. et ipso punctis eadem sunt. Alio modo respondetur ab alis: quod quae sunt in extremitatibus continuis, hec possunt esse simul, ut probat argumentum. Quedam sunt que sunt in corpore, et hec non possunt esse simul, quia tunc corpus penetraret corpus et essent duo corpora simul.\n\nDeinde quaeritur. Amplius autem, ubi ponitur sexta ratio, et est talis: si anima componatur ex punctis, numquam potest se separare a corpore; nec anima separabitur ab eo. Et hoc est quod dicit littera. Amplius autem, quomodo possibile est puncta separari et absolvi a corpore, quasi diceret, non est possibile, nisi linea componeretur ex punctis. Quod tamen falsum est. Linea enim semper dividitur in lineas, non in puncta, si tamen dividetur in puncta. Puncta haerent inter se per se, et sic erant separabilia in corpore et cetera.\n\nAccidit autem ubi postquam physica posuit incubancia que sunt propria opinioni huic.\n\nPonit illa que sunt ibi communia et alis. Et primo: ponit intentum suum secundum objectionem ibi. Siquidem emendum est. In tentum sum consistere in duobus. Puum et quod idem inconveniens accidit dicentibus anima quiddam corpus subtile et huic opinioni quod dicit esse animatam vel numerum motum. Secundum est quod impossibilitas accidit Democritus ex hoc quod dtc causas motus sunt sphaerae mote accidit et huic opinioni. Hoc est ergo quod dicit Lua quod ponentibus animam esse quoddam corpus subtilis accidit idem inconveniens et huic opinioni de quo inconveniens diximus et est sicut patebit quod idem loco sunt corpora. Accidit et huic opinioni prius inconveniens quod accidit Democritus quod dicit corpus movi ab anima scripsa mote movent corpus.\n\nDeinde sequitur. Siquidem emendum est. Vbi manifestat intentum et primo manifestat quod huic opinioni inconveniens accidit illud quod dicit animam esse corpus subtile. Secundum objectionem obviat huic opinioni. Accidit circa. The first consequence is that if the soul is in a body, there are two bodies in it. The reason for this is that the soul feels in the whole body, and this is why the soul is in the body. If the soul is in the body and is a body itself, then there are two bodies present at the same time, and this is why the soul, being a moving unity, follows the same rule. The second consequence is that if the soul is a number, it follows that two bodies are present. This is clear because the unities of motion are bodies, and therefore what was said before applies. Furthermore, two points are present at the same time, the point of the soul and the point of the body, because if the body that is the soul is present with another body, and a point with a point. And this is what the text says, that if the soul is said to be a number, many points are present in the same point, in an indivisible location, and if the points of the soul are different. a. In a body, as it is necessary to say, there is a difference between the number of corporal points and the soul's points, which are in the body. For if the soul is not more than the number of corporal points, and in every body there is the same number of corporal points, then one would ask. Does this opinion hold about the soul assigning two points, therefore, two bodies? It seems so, for otherwise it would not agree with the opinion that the soul is a subtle body. One must say that the commentator of the opinion that the soul is a subtle body adds that there are two bodies present. However, this opinion only has an inconvenience in common, for it is similar to the statement that many bodies are present. We can also say that the same thing applies to both. For example, if it is argued that, as the place is to the part, so is the place to the whole, and therefore, as two soul points, one is of the soul and the other of the body, are in the same body. locus totus animas constituus est ex punctis situalibus, in eodem loco cum toto corpore quod est compositus ex situalibus punctis, et sic duo corpora simul. Alio modo, idem potest declarari sic: Punctus non est unum cum puncto, nisi quia corpus penetratur corpus. Ultimo, idem potest declarari sic: Punctus motus est corpus, quia omne quod movetur est corpus, secundum phisicum. Ergo, anima constituuitur ex punctis motis, ergo est constituua ex corporibus, ex quo sequitur quod animal in corpore non solum est punctus cum puncto, sed corpus cum corpore. Dein sequitur:\n\nQuod hoc assimilatur opinioni Democriti. Sicut Democritus ponit quod sperma motum movet animalia, et hoc ipsum ponit quod numerus motus movet animalia, numerus autem motus est ex unitatibus motis. Unitas autem mota est corpus motu, et per hoc idem dicere numerum motu movere et corpora moveere, sicut dixit Democritus. Hoc est quod dicit Lua. \"It was also said that an animal moves according to number and in agreement with the bodies, as we have stated that Democritus himself moves an animal through indivisible motions. What is the difference, that is, what distinguishes, do you suppose, as Democritus said, or to speak of unities, whether great or small, they move in the same way, as this opinion seems to say in regard to the matter at hand. For since it has been proven that bodies and unities do not differ, from this it follows. Therefore, those who hold this opinion, when it has been shown that the opinion says that the soul is a number moving itself, are unable to reduce accidents and passions of the soul, although it should be a perfect definition, and this is what the letter says, that those defining the soul by these two things encounter impossible things said.\" Multa alia. Non est semper possibile definire ai quodquis homo sed et accipiamus quod no poterit declarari ex ea. Manifestum est, siquis arguendo voluerit, ex hac ratione reddere passiones et operas ai quodquid, sicut diximus, non solum hoc est possibile sed etiam est facile hoc. Tribus aut postquam physica improbuit opinio nemo dicentibus ai, moveri et dicentibus ai, esse num seipsum movente, qui venebant diffinitioni ai, ex cognitione et motu hic improbat opinionem illorum qui venebantur. Primo ponit intentum suum. Secundo exequitur ibi. Necessarium aut quatuor ad primum dicit quod tribus modis traditis antiqui definierunt animam: aliqquid motus corporis in movimento seipsum, aut aliter dixerunt animam esse corpus subtilissimum et de nobis magis incorpororum. De his dnobus iam fere transivimus, ostendendo quas duplicationes et contrarietates. habent hee opinions. He says that there could have been more brought forward than were actually presented. And since it is said of the three that some posited anima coposita from elements, it is left uncertain about the third, how some might have posited an anima from the elements, so that it could sense and know all that are elements.\n\nSome have asked whether the three modes of aima, which he put forward, can be defined as the ancient philosophers have already defined. It seems not. For they did not mention this number here, or make any mention of the number. Some have said that these are harmonies, and there is no mention of this here.\n\nTo the first argument, it can be replied that the opinion is said to be reducible to the opinions of those who say it is a corpus. For whatever moves is a corpus. But they posited animam as unities in motion. Therefore, the contradiction of the philosophers, who say animam is corpus, should be placed under the contradiction to those who say it is movens, because it is shown.\n\nAll these things being so. {con}tingit dicere eam esse corpus et hoc indifferenter si\u2223ue posuerunt id quod mouetur ex se speras suas sicut Democritus aut vnitates. vt dicentes eam esse numerum seipsum mouentem. aut corpus celeste vt dictum est in thi\u0304meo \u00b6Ad secundum argu\u00a6mentum potest dici {quod} licet armo\u2223nia non sit corpus directe tamen est forma corporea et ideo reduci\u2223tur ad npinionem illorum qui po\u2223suerunt eam esse corpus \u00b6Dein\u00a6de sequitur.

No\u0304 sunt aute\u0304. Dicit ergo {quod} It is necessary to assign many impossibilities to this opinion. For instance, you put forth the opinion that knowledge arises through assimilation, placing the soul itself rather than the thing known. But there is nothing impossible following from this position, and the first permits the conclusion of the second. Therefore, nothing at all. The first is divided into two parts, the second is there. From these, the first, which permits, is that in things there are no simple elements but many other things. Just as something composed of elements may be composed of infinite elements, so the elements are not mixed in a mixture in any way.\n\nThen it follows from these. From these, the second, which permits, is that it is not sufficient to compose from elements in order to know all things. For, as the Commentator says, the form is composed over the elements in the composite. Whence, in order to know the composite, it is not sufficient to know the elements themselves. mixtio variatur sm different ratios of mixtorum, because elements noquod are not present in any one way in the mixtura. This is what Lr\u0304a says. Since it happens that the soul must know and feel one thing of each of those elements from which it is composed. But we do not know or feel the composite itself as such, like we know what God is \u00b7i. heaven, which is composed of elements or man or flesh or whatever else. And this is the reason why, because elements are not quolibus mode present in any one thing. But they must be under what ratio and position they are composed in, in order to be understood as composita. This ratio and position are well given by Empedocles, who says that os is composed in what proportion and position. Humus, i.e. earth, is coaptata in amplis difusionibus, i.e. pores of the bone. Thus, earth has been given two parts in the composition of the bone. Again, milcano, i.e. fire, gave four parts. \"Despite the abundance of fire in the bones, the bones are high. It should be noted that Empedocles placed a bone to be composed of eight parts. He gave two to the earth. The ratio of these parts made the bone a proportion of Deos. Then follows this. Nothing was accomplished. Where he concludes in intent, and this is the reason: If it has come to have cognition, it composes not only from elements but also from mixtures. But if, granted the premises, this soul, in cognizing a stone and a man and anything else mixed, is assimilated falsely to the false speech, then this is what is meant: that there are no elements in the soul except for reason and position of mixtures. The soul recognizes one thing only, as they say, and therefore recognizes the bone and man and whatever else is mixed only if it is in itself. But this is impossible, that the soul is all mixtures. Who would doubt this in the soul?\" erit lapis aut homo aut bonus aut non bonus. Alia translatio habet unum et non unum, et eodem modo de alis, quasi diceret, stultus est qui de hoc dubitat. Debet esse certum cuilibet (quod) anima non est mixta. Nota (quod) licet phusis ponat, quod cognitio sit per assimilationem; tamen hoc non sequitur hoc incohueniens. Cuius ratio est, quia licet intellectus sit omnia fieri, tamen non fit omnia sine intending. Isti autem ponerunt (quod) aia ad cognitionem requireret assimilationem realem, quod est impossibile, quia aia cognoscat vivum et non vivum realiter, nec vivet et non vivet, et sic opposita sunt in eodem, et hoc est quod dicit Lactantius (quod) esset vivum et non vivum.

Dicit ergo, poene (quod) id quod est, scilicet ens, multum significat, scilicet substanciam aut quantitatem aut qualitatem aut quidditatem.

Secundum mihi non cognoscit nisi sub aqua. Tertium fimul et semel erit sub aqua et quantitas et sic de alis pedicamentis in laras actio nihil agit nisi de duobus modis. Unus doctor aut Aia in cognoscedo pedicamenta erit posita ex ipsis elementis pedicamentorum aut non. Quia non videtur communia elementa pedicamentorum sed tantum substanciam. Si igitur aima est posita solum ex his elementis quae sub aqua sunt, quo cognoscat quidquid aliud. Quod aut aliquis dicat esse elementa et principia ex quibus ia simul sit quantitas et subaqua, hoc est impossible quod ia sub aqua sit quidquid forma subaquae sit iadati. It is impossible to put a substance that is not a quantity of substance under the element of quantity. Those who say that the soul can be put together from all things, note that this and many other things are impossible. The commentator remarks that among all the predicaments, substance seemed to be the most receptive to principles. And therefore, the question is whether the soul is composed only of substance. And this is true if elements are not substance but something else. However, the same philosopher says that other principles are also formed by other modes of composition. Not principles of substance are substance and principles, and the relation is sufficiently indicated in what is said, that it is impossible for a quantity of substance to be a principle.\n\nHowever, the inexperienced say that after the destruction of the opinion of a substance, its roots are destroyed. They used to say two things. First, that all knowledge is destroyed. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be a fragment from a scholarly work discussing the concept of assimilation. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"assimilatione. Secundo dicebat quod hoc assimulatio non potest fieri nisi aibus elementis ita quod propter ipsam fiat cognitio. Phus autem primum destruit. Secundo secundum ibi. Dubitabit autem. Prima in quaque sm quaque rationes quas adducit. Secunda ibi. Multas at. Tercia ibi. Amplius auet. Quarta ibi. Acciduit at. Quanta ibi. Oino at. Prima ratio est quod isti contradicebant sibiipsis. Dicebant pimo quod cognoscere et sentire est per assimilationem quodquid autem dicet aliquis in antiquis scit quod sentire est simile a simili et idem modo cognoscere. Suppleatur lra sed pati est contrario quia nichil patitur a suo simili sed a suo contrario. Deinde sequitur. Multas at dubitaciones quo ponit secunda ratio et est\" If this text is in Latin, I'll assume it's a Latin passage from Empedocles and translate it into modern English. I'll remove unnecessary symbols and whitespaces, but keep essential ones.\n\nReal assimilation is the cause of knowledge, for instance, we come to know the earth because those who are closer to it feel more earthy and are more assimilated to it. Yet, real assimilation impedes knowledge rather than facilitates it, as the letter states: \"because one has many doubts and difficulties, speaking as Empedocles himself speaks.\" For instance, individual corporeal elements are cognizable, and what has been said is confirmed by similarity through assimilation. However, since the parts of bodies are similar to the earth in this way, i.e., approaching earthiness, it's not clear whether this real similarity would lead to knowledge if everything similar were to be cognized. Then,\n\nHere's the cleaned text:\n\nReal assimilation is the cause of knowledge.

However, since the parts of bodies are similar to the earth in this way, i.e., approaching earthiness, it's not clear whether this real similarity would lead to knowledge if everything similar were to be cognized. Then, sequit amplius aut. Where the third reason is placed, it is argued that in one way some things are posited in this position, and in another way principles are to be compared. In one way, for example, ignorance is more prone to error than intelligence because from one element in the soul, nothing is known except what is similar to it. But to all other things, ignorance is more prone to error than intelligence, because of the dissimilarity. In another way, it is read about substantial forms. Since substances are separate from matter and are simple, they do not assimilate in the real sense with inferior substances, whose sign is that they are not composed of inferior elements, and consequently, one will know fewer things about these than about intelligences. The last thing it says is that the ultimate mode, i.e., the first mode, is clear in this respect: whatever principle exists in ignorance, there are more of them than in intelligence. I myself, in this position, will understand only myself, i.e., I will know all other material things not at all. Q.E.D. Phus, where. This text appears to be written in an ancient language, likely Latin, with some errors in transcription. I will attempt to clean and translate it to modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\nest assimilatio realis is this position not knowledge. sed principium simplex non assimilatur, that is, one principle does not assimilate itself to what is posited. Deinde sequitur, \"Where is the fourth ratio placed? To this evidently, it should be noted that Empedocles placed deus, that is, the celus, composed of the five elements: ignis, aere, aqua, terra, and concordia et discordia. Discordia est sextus elementum, which does not fall into the compositio celi, whose ratio is that discordia is the cause of corruptio. Celus autem est incorruptibile; other corruptibilia posuit composita ex his quinque et discordia. Ex hoc arguo sic: quod est plurium cognitionum est sapientius, but material and corruptible things know more than the deus, which is composed of the six elements. Deus autem tantum ex quinque ergo sunt sapientiora deo. Consequens est impossibile ergo illud ex quo sequitur, \"that cognitio fit per assimilationem,\" and this is what the text says. Accidet (It follows) autem et Empedocles diceret esse insipientissimum. Solus enim deus non cognoscit unumquodque discordiam. Mortalia aut cognoscunt omnia elementa, quia unquodque eorum est ex omnibus elementis et per connoscunt quorum sunt elementa.\n\nDeinde sequitur Omnio aute: Quia si elementum vel compositio ex elementis est causa cognitionis, propter assimilationem sequitur quod oia hae sint aiam quod est sm emp. Vel est elementum vel compositum ex uno elemento vel pluribus vel omnibus. Autem, si fuerit ex uno elemento, cognoscat illud unum et si fuerit ex quibusdam cognoscet illa quae. If it knows all things and so on.\nIf this root was not true, as knowledge arises through assimilation, and it does not reveal anything real that this opinion lacks, because elements resemble matter. Therefore, it was first said that this opinion was false. Secondly, it is insufficient. However, all say otherwise. Thirdly, it said that it is superfluous. But if this is so, the first argument is as follows: The soul is compared to form and container, since it is not composed of elements. Because elements are comparable to matter. Whence it was first said that the soul is a container of elements and one that unites them more than if it were the elements themselves. Such a containing thing is most properly called noble and ancient. However, the soul itself is impossible in being something nobler. It is extremely antiquated and still impossible to be something nobler than the intellect. It should have been the most rational, most divine and natural noblest thing, and the elements are the first, indeed, if the intellect were to form elements from elements, they are prior, but this is impossible because this intellect would not desire it. Whether the soul has the property of being older and better, as Physis says, this must be said. For it is said that it has the property of being older not because it was created before bodies, as some have supposed. But because of its priority in nature. For it is the order of nature that comes after intelligence and before corporality, and contrary to it, because it happens that such a soul, which is after intelligence and before corporality, is a nature that is intermediate, having some power free from the organ insofar as it touches the intellect. And it also has the power to be affixed to the organ in a different way, and these same powers touch bodies in the same way. The soul also has the property of being the noblest insofar as it is the last form. The order of nature is to the aspect it assumes in appearance and the quiescence of appetite. Therefore, the Commentator speaks of its nobility. Although elements precede the soul in time, it precedes in nobility and causality from this, because it has the divine in it, which is the object of the greatest appetite of nature. According to this, generation is given to things so that they may have communication with the eternal and the divine. For Anima is the last form that completes matter. The soul is said to have properties that are most rational, and this is true as regards intellect. The rational soul is abstract and unmixed with the body, containing reasons and concepts from which things are cognized. Then it follows that all souls are this opinion, and here the Physicist determines the insufficiency of this opinion regarding the soul and makes four points against it. \"In this regard, as it is stated secondly there, thirdly there, and fourthly there, this [thing] is said to be composed of elements because it senses and knows, and those who say that it is itself an element and that it is primarily the most moving one, do not speak of every soul or understand it universally, but speak of it particularly or else they are insensate and all souls are unmovable. These are the animallike things that remain in place like a sponge in the sea. It seems that only this motion moves the animal itself, according to their opinion. It is noted that since one nature argues that certain animal-like things remain in place and are composed of elements, no one could say that such animals are moved by the motion of contraction and dilation. This motion lacks nothing that those things have which have sensation or else there is a sensation that is sufficient for the constitution of the animallike. Against this response, it is said\" phus, believing as they do that love is defined by motion, understood the progressive motion of the stars to be closer to their own love. Then follows. Silur, or where it is placed, there is a second insufficiency; for whatever acts intelligently and sensitively from the elements speaks insufficiently, since the ratio of intellect and sense does not encompass all love. Plants seem to live and do not participate in the change of place or sense. Many things of others are manifestly not intelligent, as if the ancient philosophers were saying that if all things were sensible, then the sensible would be intelligible. Then follows. If, however, someone is placed in a third insufficiency. To its evidence it should be noted that some ancient ones placed intellect in sense and spoke of sense without referring to all love. Others, however, posueruet intellectus diferre sensu, segregans intellectum a sensu, ut per te aper te, et hoc loquebamur de intellectu et sensu, non de anima quae nec de vegetativa nec de motiva. Perte et sensit mune posuerat alia per te. Hoc est quod diceret, si quis is segregauerit intellectum et sensitium, posuerit intellectum aliqua aie. Si et sensit mune posuerit alia per te, istus sic ponet neque uti dicet de omni aut una aia. Totale enim hoc est totale potentialis sensitium atque intellectus non donant nobis huius totius. Autem duo hoc appetitiuum et sensus locum mote.\n\nDein sequitur hoc aut Vbi ponit quarta racio insufficientie. Ad quem euidecia notandum est, quod Orpheus poeta posuit, quod per ingressum aeris salvetur aia. Iste ponit quod totus aer esset infatus, et quod aia corpora viventia non sunt nisi id quod atrahit a ter. \"In this respiration, as the one called Dite says, it is not sufficient for the living beings that respire and this is because that opium which is in the charms, in the verses of Orpheus, conceals a defect of insufficiency. He says that this respiration is not possible for the bodies of the living beings to receive, nor for some other beings that do not respire. This was hidden from you. Then follows: If this opium was found to be superfluid, it was placed for it to be mixed with the elements, so that it could recognize this as a superfluid phus or something else, which suffices to recognize something contrary, so that it was sufficient for it to be placed with another principle or with two qualities.\" calido and humido, I can recognize the contrary, that is, the hot and the cold, and the wet and the dry. A judge is not his own opposing party. This means that if I say that I can place one thing among elements and not place another among them, it is sufficient for me to judge between myself and the opposing party. By the very nature of the right, we recognize the right and the oblique, and the oblique is not a judge, nor does it have a rule or a response for itself or for the right.\n\nOne might ask how we can know something contrary as if we know one thing, we can know another only insofar as the definition of one thing is known.\n\nTo the contrary is the definition of phi. They say that he who defines contraries can understand one thing from another, or the definition of one thing. Contrary to what some may argue, a significant and direct meaning should not be attributed to anything unless it is clearly defined in context and significantly contrasts with something else. To an argument, it is said that many things cannot be understood all at once, as some things signify one thing and their contrary signify something else at the same time. For instance, if someone were to ask for something, it is said that a habit can be a judge and a punisher, according to its nature. This is the case because whatever is not intelligible in itself and is not an entity but a punisher can only be intelligible in relation to something it is applied to. However, if it is intelligible in itself and is an entity, it can only be understood in relation to the aspect of it that is hidden and inaccessible.\n\nFurthermore, after physics had refuted the claim that the elements were not among the things discussed here, it proved that they were not in the things discussed as if they were separate entities, but rather placed their opinion in this regard. Following this, it raises doubts about this opinion in that place. This is all. This text appears to be written in an ancient language, likely Latin, with some errors introduced during optical character recognition (OCR). I will do my best to clean and translate the text while remaining faithful to the original content.\n\nThe text reads: \"tercio ponit motiuus istorum opinionis ibi. Opinari aut quarto ondit quod motiuus non fuit bonuus ibi. Si aut.

He believed that the reason was not good there. If it is not so. Therefore, concerning these opinions, you say what the remedies are for mixing the elements in one vessel instead of being purified. Undoubtedly, the nature perceived these movements as full of disjunctions. He wanted the whole vessel to be aiaatum (a state of divine presence) and its aia to be a god, so that these things would be united with their bodies in the same way that the god was united with the whole universe. It should be noted that concerning this opinion, there were two opinions. Some placed the elements in a pure state, perfecting and perfecting the soul and the soul in its inception. And this opinion was common. In the explanation of this book, it was Alexandri's. One says that Visum (a divine power) showed us that the perfection and factual changes came from the mixture and complexity, not from external things, because the elements are aiaata (divinely present) in the souls and Alexandrus saw this.\" opini in primis perfectionibus aime haec aut opio, sicut dt commentator est contra Phm & contra veritatem, pmo quia inchoatio formae et perfectio eiusdicut unum et ideo ut forma in potentia fit in actu, io si aia sumpersonae perfectiones et ex elementis et ecia sm ultima.

It mentions that some things are perceived differently by different people, and that the mind and body may have different desires and understandings. The text also mentions Plato and his philosophy. The text appears to be discussing the idea that the mind and body are interconnected, and that they influence each other. The text also mentions the concept of doubt and the idea that there are three parts to something. Overall, the text appears to be discussing philosophical concepts related to perception, the mind, and the body. \"These are the divisive economic matters, for the one who subdues them is not apt to endure, and if they contain us, we call them pains. Whether they contain one or many, the question remains which one contains them. If there are many, they are reduced to one. If there is one, it is proposed. Therefore, it is a brief matter if one contains many or contains contained things, as Plato put it, or if it is simple and contains nothing, or if it goes to the infinite. Some seek to know whether it is perceptible in a literal sense. They see that it is so, for they find some things separated and in a certain sense existent and some not.\" eode\u0304 discover that the mind, which is devoid of sensitiveness, acts in this way in perlatis and is sensitiveness-less without motion in spongia maris. However, the gods require commixiones and complex joys in their corporibus. Yet, in another respect, it is seen in the natural cerebro that the vitalis at corde.\n\nContrarily, the Dionysus phi. They say that this is understandable in many ways. One way, the god puts the encijns and potecijs of the gods in each other. And Plato placed this, that one encounter and the other encounter were godlike in their appearance and power.\n\nSecondly, the divine operations were produced by one power and one essence. This is impossible, for one cannot make one thing as one thing and the godlike encounters are one in potencia and in essence.\n\nThirdly, it is not intelligible that one power is in the essence of the gods, for one power does not produce but one power acts. Secondly, the divine sciences Sequitur disputatio deus potentia restat ergo, quod aiena una essentia et multis potentibus fecit divas opacoes quod, quod ab una essentia fluat multa potentia.

He began by speaking of the divisibility of the one and the many, as if it were the same as if one placed one thing among many and it contingently did not belong to any one, and if there were one and the same thing in different things, and if the actions and powers were one and the same, it follows that there is doubt about this. Yet this doubt remains, namely, whether it is one or many, or whether it is so determined to each thing that it copulates itself with its body and in it with its soul, in such a way that each copulates one with another, and it is impossible for us to determine this for ourselves. This doubt also follows, unless it is certified by unity that one thing is in one. If it is one in genus and divided into determined parts, the doubt mentioned follows. But if there are many things that flow from one source and have different actions and powers, there is no such doubt. In the third place and the second is placed, it is to be determined at what instant it is present there, if it is there to remain. First, the third is introduced thus: the third is joined together in such a way that it is introduced. The second contradicts this in the second part of the speech, saying that the whole of the third is in the whole body and completely in the limbs, in this the third contradicts both speeches. It is established according to three propositions. The first is that the limbs are completely divided into parts, and this is what is meant by the fact that the limbs are completely divided into parts and the limbs are divided into living and dead parts. The second proposition is that the third is in the parts and completely in form and number, and if one part of the form is corrupted, the third is in two parts and in the whole is silenced in hope. \"You, at this proposition to the council, say and if it is not we. For how long it remained continuous and acted in one and had more in potential. Made from division, one speech was in it. The third proposition is that in every part, there remain more potentialities completely in the part itself, and in every part, there is sensation and motion: for one perception both perceives and is moved in some place. Therefore, it is brief in this way. If potentialities return to substance and there are more potentialities in it and in that part there is a connection, it is necessary that one alien potentiality be in the substance and others be nourished by one as nutritious and tangible, sensible. Touch is in another, but it is in another's position that punishes us and those who divide all are compelled, that is, each one.\" persageret suu\\_ propriu\\_ ita quod nutritia et alia a sensibili et motiua ab utroque & nutritia ab augmentabili.

The text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to be discussing the concept of indivisibles and their similarities. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nest indivisibilis. Discendu\u0113 est quod lra commentariis huis sic, et sunt consimiles ad immanis specie tocius aut quod diuisibilis est, quod exponens comentator dicit quod quid est in rebus consimile in specie est aut est divisum iactu et unaquae creaturae agit actionem alterius.

Aia que est in pertus est una in specie, aut potes divisa actu sunt consimiles et eedem actiones specie que exercent in una parte exercent in alia tota at non sunt idem quod divisum aut totum divisum non remanet totum sed quod divisibile. Potest em\u014d dividi in tales partes in quibus exercent similes operationes tocius. Alio modo potest dici renderi sic illa ratio quod aia in pertus est eiusdem rationis quare inseperables. Q.D. Ideo est unius ratiois quare eedem potentiae specie co-comitantur in una parte co-comitantur in alia parte. Sicut si in una parte. motiuu_ conveys a sensitive and otherlike quality that is indivisible. That is, it does not divide into two distinct reasons from the whole. For instance, it may contain both sensuous and motor elements, and in one it may be sensuous, while in the other motor.\n\nNoteworthy is the fact that the term \"viuenciu_ tres godus\" refers to three living beings. These beings have bodies that are very similar due to their likeness and also perceive and submit to the soul in a similar way, and in this degree they are plants. Due to their likeness, each of them is capable of being submissive and each of them is capable of living and growing, or each of them is capable of being a root and an organ for healing nature.\n\nThese beings are in the second degree, which do not have such a great similarity in their bodies as the bodies of plants, but they have many such things and they are annular beings. Of these beings, dt comm.\n\nThis mode of being does not have diverse instruments applied to diverse actions by that being. communi officialis such as the heart in which it existed in all powers, but what pertains to this body adapts to all actions from the moment each person begins to live, and this is what is said in the law, because each person is similar in disposition and indivisibility, which is why they cannot be divided, for even if such animals were divided, they would not be able to live or continue as separate organisms due to the lack of a corporal organ or continuity. Not every part is divided, however. In the third degree, there are certain animals that require more diversity in their organs and in which there is not the same ratio in the whole and in the parts, so that each person cannot be adapted to all operations as a whole and in parts, and therefore another animal dies when it does not find what it requires for the exercise of life in the quantity required. Then follows. He saw that the second followed. Where the second solved the sequence. Question: What is noted that the living being can both feel and understand, but such potentiality in it allows inferior faculties to function only in it and not in others, and this is because it sees in plants what is the principle of life, the only one that brings forth living beings from seeds and nothing else senses or moves without it, and there is no sense without it. According to these words, one can live in every vital power, but this living being is like sensation, which is most attributed to touch, or no one can sense anything without touch. It should be noted that the author introduces these topics differently. However, he does not prove that nature is divided in these words. substa\u0304cialiter {per} diuisione\u0304 subiecti dedit exemplu\u0304 de plantis. hoc a\u0304t exemplu\u0304 no\u0304 cogeret si ali\u2223quis diceret {quod} plante no\u0304 viuu\u0304t & ideo phu\u0304s hic {pro}bat pla\u0304tas viuere qr in eis est p\u0304ncipiu\u0304 vite.

First, it begins by asking what aia is. Second, it determines whether aia is a pertica or a Poticia, at the place where Poticiae are. To make it evident in the first place, it is necessary to know that a definition is in a dual form. One definition is that which declares what aia is; another definition is not that but also what aia is as a part of the definition of phus in the beginning. Second, it is evident that Modus or this is the one in which definitions are discovered through composition and division. If I want to find definitions, I would proceed by dividing and composing, supposing that a man is a substance. Substance is that which is corporeal, that which is incorporal. A man is not an incorporal substance; therefore, it remains that he is a corporeal substance, and thus, by making the division and composition, I set it down. corporeu\u0304 cu\u0304 substancia ita {quod} {con}positio sequitur diuisione\u0304.

Someone may ask why nature permits this division. They say that nature wants to hunt down differences and therefore proceeds by dividing and separating, and that is why it permits this division. The enciuans are substance and some are accidental, necessary to their being. With this division permitted, they are considered as if they were both and granted to all, that is, the accident is considered as part of the substance. This was granted by all because the accident is inseparable from the substance. It was granted by all because the accident is essentially connected to the substance. It immediately concludes that the accident is a substance from this division. Therefore, from this division, it has what is subaan. Then, the author of this says that he permits a second division and this second division is that which the subaan divides into matter and form and composes, and it is what he says, that this substance is something other than matter, just as matter is not this thing. sed is in potencia ut sit hoc aliquid. Alius autem est sicut forma et spe spe qua forma iam est hoc aliud in actu. Tercium est sicut compositum ex his scra ex materia et forma quam materia est ens in potencia. Forma autem est endelechia, that is, actus. Quisquis quaeret quid deseruit hoc divisio. Dicedu quod sic. Hoc autem si declarassemus tria fundamenta, quod nulla res in potencia ad oppositum illius est, quod ea de essentia et actu puta si homo essentialiter est alius. Homo non est in. potencia ad opposuitai alienis, si emu aliis eedem de essencia et essentia hocis Sicut homo non est in potencia ad opposuitam suam, ita nec in potencia ad opposuitam alienis. Secundum hoc fundamentum habet, quod nulla forma est de actu et essentia materiae. Per primum fundamentum habet, quod nulla res est in potencia ad opposuitum illius, quod est de essencia sua. Ex secundum fundamento, hemus, quod materia sub una forma est in potencia ad opposuitum illius, ergo nulla forma est de essentia materiae nec de actu eius. Tercium fundamentum declarat, quod aliquid convenit aliui duobus modis. Aliquid enim convenit aliis simili et per naturam sui, et quod sic. \"Continue for anyone or for his cause, or it is of his cause, consider that the whiteness, by nature, is a color, the color is of the whiteness. Another, or someone, comes together with someone else, and when this happens to someone, it is not of his essence, but rather an external and almost adventitious thing. For example, whiteness, by nature, is a color and therefore a color is of the whiteness. But if the color is in effect and essence, this agent and the form are not in essence or act of whiteness. This is clear to the one who inquires. If the matter is of some form, this is drawn by the agent or creator or generator, and the form follows the matter through the agent, because no form is of the essence or act of matter. Therefore, we will consider that matter is an ens in potentia, capable of being drawn to form and therefore being in potentia is of the essence of matter, and this is what the commentator says about the sublunar world.\" The substance can be changed into different forms, either this one or that one, and it does so through the action of different agents. No form belongs to the substance in essence or in its actual state. According to the physical world, matter has no form in actuality. Materia is what draws different forms and different actions, for a form is the action that it performs, just as matter and its composites are in action.\n\nHe further states this twice. He then makes a third division.\n\nIt is to be noted that this third division subdivides one member of the previous division. In the previous division, it was stated that substance either is or is not. materia vel composita est vel forma est actus. Hoc autem actus subdividit, dicens quod hic actus dupliciter dicitur. Est enim actus, scilicet quasi scientia, quae assimilat scire, et actus, scilicet quasi considerare, quae assimilat considerationi. Per alia potest brevius dicere, actus datus modis est primus et secundus. Quereret aliquis utrum sit dare actum primum et secundum. Dicendum est quod hoc aut si declaremus duo fundamenta. Primum fundamentum est quod omne quod terminat potentia dicitur actus. Hoc autem fundamentum sicut de ratione potentiae est terminari, ita de ratione actus est terminare, et omne quod terminat potest dici actus. Secundum fundamentum est quod forma terminat et actio agit, ita quod forma dicat actum primum et agere dictur actus secundus. Videmus enim quod iste. potetia gmaticus finished and terminated the habit of being gmatic, in the gmatic manner, we saw that these habits were considered by potetia as terminated actually, through the consideration that follows, because of the food and drink, which was considered as terminated and the second consideration notandum, that whatever form and essence we may have understood through the actual, we have also followed the essence. Imagine this, and behold, if all forms and acts essential to them were to cease, they would not cease to exist unless the form corrupted, and this act is so connected to the essence that the relationship between form and such an act is similar to that which is between light and shining. Light is a form that shines, and is an act. Shining follows light, as a rule. Just as light does not cease to shine unless it is corrupted, so the form without effect is not separated from the essence.\n\nFollowing this, one may ask. Why does nature permit this?\n\nPhysis permits it. This text appears to be written in an old form of Latin, likely using diacritic marks and abbreviations. I will attempt to clean and translate it to modern English while preserving the original meaning as much as possible.\n\nha\u00e7 divisione. Dicunt quod sicut physica ex prima divisione, quod aia est fuba et sicut ex secunda, quod aia est suba, quae ea actus ita ex tercia unlt hoc, quod aia ea actus pus, quasi physica. Sic arguat omnes actus vel pus, vel secundus, sed aia ea actus et non est actus secundus, sic probabit infra. Ergo ea actus primus.\n\nDeinde cum dt. Subeo autumnet ponit aliam divisionem. Est hac divisio quod subara quae sunt corpora et quae non sunt corpora inter quas maxime manifeste sunt subcorporales. Nam subincorporees sunt eo quod sunt a sensibus remote sunt nobis. Notandum est quod physica permisit subara quae sunt corporalia quaedam incorporalia quod anima est actus, tamen non est actus subiecti, sed actus corporis. Imaginabimur em quod aia est quoddam quo vivens vivit. Omnes autem quod alterius est per ipsum. Sicut albumidum est quod ipsi subiungit quod per ipsum. The soul is the activity of that which lives through it. This is the body. Just as the physical world wanted to have that which is the soul as the activity in the first three divisions of nature, so the physical world wanted to have that which is the soul as the activity in the fourth division. But Et ho puts the fifth division. A sign of this is that this fifth division subdivides one fourth part, which are the corporeal things that are not in the fourth division, which are the corporeal things that are not physical, i.e. natural. The corporeal things are the principles of the artificial corpora. It is notable that, just as from the three first divisions the physical world wanted that which is the soul as the activity, and just as from the fourth it wanted that which is the soul as the activity of the corpora, so from this quantity it wants that which is the soul as the activity of the corpora, not as the physicists say that the soul is an activity. The soul is an activity insofar as something is. This is what is said to be that which is. I am a corpus not a quodcuque, that says the body is the principle of things corporeal. Somebody asks what is said, the body being the principles of things corporeal are artificial, therefore the body depends essentially on nature from God. The effect of God is the principle of all things, the nature and art of Eodeus, this essential nature interacts with both nature and art. The body supposes the effect of art in this way, the house supposes wood, and the secure supposes iron, and briefly such is the action of art in this way the effect of art supposes the effect of nature. The effect of art is the body artificial, the effect of nature is the body physical, therefore the body artificial supposes the body physical because I suppose that corporeal things are the principles of bodies artificialia. Another way to understand this is that corporeal things are under matter and form, like wood is under matter and form. Corporeal things are artificialia. subeo quod ad materiam et non tu ad formis. Materia domus sicut lignum vel lapis subeo. Sed forma domus accipio eo. Ex his argumentum sic. Quod eo subeo ad materiam et ad formam est magis subeo illo, quod eo subeo ad materiam tempore. Sed corpora naturalia sunt subeo ad materiam et forma artificialia sunt subeo ad materiam tempore. Ergo corpora naturalia massequit quod corpora physica sunt, et principia corpora artificialia non sunt subeo nisi propter corpora physica super fuadatars actione suae. Dein cuidit Physicorum in sexta divisione. Divisit hoc diuisione corpus physicum quod fuisset unum membrum, dicens quod corpus physicum, id est naturale, quodquid habebant vitae, drum ea vita per seipsum alimtur, augmantur et decrementum. Notandum est hoc physicae divisioni permittit ut ex ea habeat quod aiunt actus corporis habentis. Imaginate that form gives existence and that form of a spear gives existence to a spear. This is also what gives life and therefore it is said below that to live is to act. Just as we imagine that to shine is the act of light, so we will imagine that to live is the act of the alive. Notably, it should be noted that nature has manifested itself through nourishment and decrease, neither of which the living being receives separately. However, this manifestation is done generally and in corruptible things, so that this manifestation is more a matter of example than difference and so on.\n\nI withdraw all corporeal substance after it has become phus, and this division receives a distinction from the divisions mentioned before. The second thing is manifested from this distinction. The third thing is revealed from this.\n\nThis is the definition of the second thing. The second thing, from this definition, reveals what is doubtful in Unum uocem. The following text discusses the definition of a tercio, revealing it to be a formal and physical act. The first argument presents that this definition was declared here, as it was the one introduced when the physical substance, which is not an act itself but the act upon the body, was discussed. The second argument proves that it is a formal act. The third argument asserts that it is a physical and organic act. The fourth argument concludes the definition given here. If there is anything else, it proves that it is a formal act. The first foundation is that it is under us and, as stated before, was granted to us by the objects themselves. The second foundation is that if it is under us, it is either a substance or matter under us, or it has been placed under us, or it is the form of the act itself. From this foundation, it argues as follows about the nature of the physical substance. Aia noe fabricated as a corporeal form and is connected to life through the body and the soul. Aia is not matter like a corporeal body. However, Aia is subject to a ruler, but a body is not subject to it, but rather subject to something else. Therefore, what Aia is, is form and connected to action. From this second foundation, it is clear that what is called the human body is a body that participates in life and is composed of it, but it is not a substance that is placed under it, but rather a substance that is placed above it. There is no soul because it is not placed in the body, nor is it material. This body that has life is a body and is a homogeneous body having life and is therefore composed of one body. This is the body that is not Aia. Whose body is it, then, if not the body that is not Aia? It is the body that is subject to the ruler and necessarily is a soul and not a body. suba\u0304m is like a species, that is, a form. A form does not have a form in bodies, but bodies have the form of the things that are in potency and that is why the form follows the body. One might ask what the form is an act of. He sees that it is not. For if it is not an act in potency, then form and act oppose each other, since being in potency is not an act. The form is less than the intellectual form. It is said that we can declare two things about the form in two ways. The first way of declaring is through habit, which is between the form and the matter. This is evident in that one thing is never identical with another, and we distinguish it from all others by the way we say that a man is a man through humanity and that he is not anything else through the same humanity and that which makes things to be. That other thing is distinguished by what makes it distinct from its own. The same is in essence and in appearance as humanity is the principle of being and end. When the aut is the principle of rendering, it is in appearance as the aut. I propose this because of what is seen. Animated bodies are drawn from animals, not from bodies but from souls, and they substantially subsist from what they subsist in. If the aut is the principle of rendering and subsisting substantially, it follows that it is the principle of the end subsisting. The principle of the end and the principle of being subordinately are the same as the form of the subordinate and thus the form is substantial.\n\nThe second way is Themistius' way and it is a way of this kind. In the universe, nothing is found except for three positions. One is that which composes the whole from its own parts, like a house from timber and stones. Another is that which composes a mixture from mixtures, like honey from water and honey. And universally, all mixtures are composed from mixtures. The third position is that which composes being from iron and figure, and universally, it composes the whole from opposites. artificiale ex materia et forma artificiali. I pose this before you. The body is emanated as an artificial body and I say in the Lunar Book that this body is a composed body. This composition is not complete in the prime sense. Which one of these is this, if this were not a body emanated throughout, feeling and nourishing throughout. In the prime composition, parts lie next to each other in such a way that one part does not intrude upon another. The body emanates throughout the whole body, as if it were penetrating it. Furthermore, the composition of the prime matter is for the quality and not for the quantity. This composition is from the corporeal and the emanation is for the quality and not for the quantity because of the love that draws the form from the qualities, so that through the animation, the forms do not become greater but other.\n\nThis composition does not permit the emergence of other compositions. For in the second composition, the incomprehensibles do not remain in their own form but are corrupted by both and result in the form of the mixture remaining in this composition, corrupted by both. \"Therefore, let it be assumed that there is a third position, in which the matter and form are such that the body is the matter and the soul is the form. Let us argue thus in this composition, or rather, in this position: it is impossible for two entities to form one in act or for one to be both form and matter. It remains that this, that the higher is matter and the lower is form. For it is not the case that the lower form does not have a body. Rather, the body is what completes the lower forms through the soul's property. Therefore, it remains that what is the form is the soul.\n\nTo the argument: it is not impossible that the idea be in act and potential at the same time. The soul is the act of the body that is perfected and is the potential intelligible and sensible.\n\nFurthermore, some may ask whether the soul is the same as the body in the sense of phusis, that is, in the sense of life. I see that it is not the same. \" emm sequit aiam quicquid ergo hoc aiam in actu vita in actu. Sed corpus physicum aiam iam in actu ergo vita in actu non ergo in potentia.

Translate the text into modern English. This may require consulting a Latin or Greek dictionary or other resources to understand the meaning of individual words and phrases.\n3. Remove any meaningless or unreadable content, such as diacritical marks or other symbols that do not contribute to the meaning of the text.\n4. Remove any introductions, notes, or other modern editorial additions that do not belong to the original text.\n5. Correct any errors in grammar, syntax, or word order that result from the translation process.\n\nHere is a possible translation of the text:\n\n\"He who is accustomed to the military life, without an exterior appearance, had two habits: one was that if a man could not be subdued by him in the second encounter, he was not to be subdued at all. The second foundation was that a dream assimilated science and did not oppose it, i.e., the dreaming mind assimilated the habit of science and did not oppose it. The dream is quiescent in the soul from the exterior senses. From these two foundations, the mind perceived that in a dream it is separated from the second act. From the first foundation, we have that a man in a dream separates himself from the second act. From the second foundation, we have that the soul in a dream is separated from the second act.\"\n\nHowever, this translation is not definitive, and there may be other possible interpretations of the text. Additionally, the text may contain errors or ambiguities that cannot be fully resolved without additional context or information. Therefore, any use of this text for scholarly or academic purposes should be done with caution and with due consideration of alternative interpretations. If we have what if Aia passes the test from the second act, Aia is not essential in the second act. If Aia is essential in the second act, then it follows that Aia should not inherit from the dormiens. Therefore, we imagine that, just as these hits alter one another, Aia is situated thus in the second act and touches the vigilia. Vigilance comes from care and is always present in external appearances. Someone is awake. He concludes with an intended conclusion that because of what was said, Aia is more a physical body than a corporeal one, since it follows other things and the physical body is what it is and it is what it does at this time and it gives essence to be according to your modes. We can know this act as a physical one since it quiesces according to your modes, if you know. The second act proceeds as an essential operation from this act & therefore it gives it this. fluens quodda\u0304 ab alio eo mo\u0304 quod lux dat ee\u0304 per modu\u0304 quiescetis.

On\u0304dit quod ai\u0304a e\u0304 actus primus corporis organici et hoc id quod tale corpus cuius est actus ai\u0304a est corpus organicum.

I.e., pla\u0304te non requiru\u0304nt tantam diversitatem organorum quam alia quae in eis non est tantae diversitates operationum.

Q.D. foliu\u0304 ordinat ad. cooperiductus: The cortex of the fruit does not let it out either due to heat or cold. The fruit-bearing one is that in which the fruit ripens or approaches maturity. The fruit has a cortex through which the seed is enclosed, so that it may mature in a vessel. However, the roots in plautis assimilate towards the axioles or towards each other, with the roots in platis and the os in axioles. For instance, the os is an organic part in axioles, just as the root is an organic part in platis, to receive nourishment.\n\nOne might ask which of these two, the heritus, is the organic body. It must be stated that this heritus, if declared, contains two truths. The first is that forms are in a dual nature. These forms are the inferior ones, not elevated above the material that, due to their inferiority and proximity to matter, can only absorb and hold a small amount of one and the same operation, such as the form of the elements and why, and the other perfect form that is closer to the agent and more propinqua agit. In the approaching matter, the substance was raised up and not immersed in wine from which the raising came, because many operations of this kind were necessary for the living body to be organized in this way, i.e., to exhibit the diversity of organs. We will consider the primary form which is the lowest, arguing that the human body, being one and the same in its entirety and in its parts, is like the form of fire or a stone. The secondary form argues for divine operations in the same way that the body is composed of various organs, so that it is not within reason in its entirety and in its parts, and is an example of some in the art of architecture. For architecture is the principal art because it is one and simple, yet it acts in a multifarious way. It acts in building by cutting, carving, joining, where a multifarious operation argues for diverse forms. instru menta. Argumentum est securum ad secandum dolabram et similiter de alis. Deinde cum dicit \"si aliquod commune.\" Conclusit auctor definitionem animi, dicens \"quod si aliud commune. I. aliqua communis definitionem debet assignari quibus omnes animas erit hoc, scilicet quod hoc est quod animaliae actus corporibus organicis pertinent.\n\nNotandum est quod physicus in hac definitione videt omissam unam dramam scilicet hanc potentiam vitam huic pertinere. Sed tamen dicendum est quod hanc dramam dat intelligere physicus cum dixit organicis. Ratio est quod corpus hoc animam habet quoddam potentiae habitualem per quod potest operare operativum. Haec aut operat per diversa organa et instrumenta, quodquidquid sit quod hoc potentiae habitualis arguit corpus organicum et corpus organicum arguit potentiam habitualem corpus enim non potest esse ociosum-ordinatur ergo ad aliquem sine. Ordinatum est aut ad hoc quod hoc potentiae habitualis possit operare vitam. Notandu is a thing that this definition of the soul posits as being something outside the sublunary sphere and the definition of which is that of a thing that is in another as the account of a raccoon is in the sublunary and the subject receives in its definitions. Regarding the reason that this form is, it is that it is in matter and therefore in its definition it receives matter, so that its definition is through addition and this is how in the definition of the soul it receives a physical body. From these words it is clear what doubts might arise. One might doubt whether body and soul are two things that make one true thing. To this physics responds that the body is in potentiality as it is perfected by the soul, and the soul is the acting force that perfects that potentiality, and this is what the text means. Regarding these words, there is no need to inquire further. Because the solution to these doubts is clear. If the substance has a soul and body, and one can be made from air and body as it is not necessary to ask if one can be made from substance and that of which substance it is. Being is said of the substance in two ways. It is said of being in potentiality, and in this way matter is being. It is said of being in act, and in this way form is being. Form is being in act and one and substance is not being unless it is something in potentiality, because matter is being in potentiality in relation to form, just as one can be one from potentiality and act, so one can be one from matter and form.\n\nSomeone might ask how one can immediately be had from the preceding [things], that is, from air and body. They say that it is not divided in act or act divided. If matter were being in act and form were not, or if both were in doubt as to which could be one, but since matter is being in potentiality and form is act, there is no remaining doubt. From potentiality and act, one can be one for what reason? Because matter primarily is in potentiality. The text appears to be written in old Latin. I will translate it into modern English while removing unnecessary characters and keeping the original content as much as possible.\n\nThe text reads: \"It is drawn into the form and shape, and the potentiality is in potency to that which it is in actuality, as it is in potentiality to be one and the same. Therefore, we argue thus. Matter, insofar as it is in potentiality, can be drawn to existence and to one existence, given by form. But I am drawn to that which is to be made from matter and form. Therefore, from matter and form, one thing comes to be and is brought into being through body and soul. This is the third reason why form and matter are said to be the principle of things, because the generator, in generating, draws to act and gives it existence and one existence. By doing this, it makes one thing from matter and form. This is the third reason why form and matter are the principle in the sense that being and one are primarily in form.\" materie ex communicatio quod materia et forma sunt una quid. Postquam physicus posuit definitionem, hic manifestat eam et duo facit. Primo manifestat, secundo ex definitione data concludit alia veritas ibi. Quod quid est, primo est quod est actus primus vel actus formalis et hoc dicit totam essenciam animae, secundum quod ipsum est actus corporis habentis vitam in potentia et hoc sequitur in definitione. Imaginabimus ergo quod cum dico actum pneumaticum, dico naturae ipsius. Cum dico pneumaticum actum, hoc idem est duo, ergo physicus prius manifestat pneumaticum, secundum manifestat. Est autem non abiciens animam. Primo ergo manifestat quod animam est actus formalis et duo facit. Quia prius probat, secundum manifestat quod dictum est in exemplis ibi. Sicut aliud quidem. \"Organum or ganizm begins to function in this way around the first. The formal and substantial act is that from which definition and quiddity of a thing receives its being, while the definition and quiddity of the aiatom receive their being from the aiai (or gods). For example, the corpus (body) is that from which the quiddity of the anima (animated body) derives, and therefore the aiai are the actus formalis (formal act) and substratum (substrate) of this corpus. That is, in some way, the definition of the soul is derived from the soul itself, which is the quiddity of this body. It should be noted that a form substantialis (substantial form) is received differently than an accidens (accidental form). For a form accidens is not received in the substance itself, but in the substance's existence. But a form substantialis is received in the substance itself. And in order to prove that the anima is an actus subsalis (substantial act), he used this, since it receives definition and quiddity of the thing.\"\n\n\"Moreover, he then says, 'Just as with any organon.' He makes it clear that he spoke in examples and does two things.\" Two examples. Consider this one. In the first example, consider in things Ille intended to manifest the nature of a thing and what it is, in essence, that animates a body, and this is made clear in a certain example. He includes his own reasoning in it. From that, the essence and definition of a thing remain, and when removed, the thing remains nothing but equivocally, but when the soul is removed from a living body, the body remains nothing but equivocally, because a living body and a non-living body are equivocal. Therefore, the soul is the definition and essence of a thing. He makes this clear in the following example by saying, \"If some organ or instrument, for instance, a hammer, were a physical body, i.e., a natural body, then what was the hammer, i.e., the form and essence of the hammer, was beneath the body itself, i.e., beneath the body of the physical body. That is, the matter of the hammer, which gives it its specific form, was the substantial form of the hammer.\" If the hammer were a physical body, it would follow that the matter of the hammer, rather than the form of the hammer, was beneath and thus the form that gives it its specific existence was the substantial form of the hammer. The dolabra was not only a physical body but also a bodily one, as it followed the form of the dolabra and also the form of the hoc, which was divided, i.e. separated, would not remain the dolabra unless equiuoce, as it has been said. Now, however, the dolabra is not a physical body but an artificial one, from which it follows that its form is an accident. Removing the accident, the substance remains, namely the substance of the dolabra, which is a physical body, such as iron. And because he gave an example of an artificial body, he said that the soul is not an activity of this kind of body, nor does it receive its being, i.e. its quiddity, from it. But the quiddity of the physical body, that is, it has life. A physical body is called a physical body because it has in itself the principle of motion and status, i.e. which is, as it was said, according to the second book of physics. Note that:\n\nThe dolabra was not only a physical body but a bodily one, following the form of the dolabra and the form of the hoc, which was divided, would not remain the dolabra unless equiuoce. Now, however, the dolabra is not a physical body but an artificial one, from which it follows that its form is an accident. Removing the accident, the substance remains - the substance of the dolabra, which is a physical body, such as iron. Because he gave an example of an artificial body, he said that the soul does not act in this way, nor does it receive its being or quiddity from it. But the quiddity of the physical body - that is, it has life. A physical body is called a physical body because it has in itself the principle of motion and status, as stated in the second book of physics. intentio philosophi videt fundarii super duo fundamenta. Primum fundamentum est quod hoc dras est inter forma substantialis et accidentalis, quia forma substantialis est essencia corporis physici cuius ratio est quod hoc materiale est forma corporis physici et ea forma accidentalis licet sit de essencia corporis artificialis, eo modo quod dicimus quod essentia durabilis concernit ferrum et figura que est forma accidentalis tamen non est de essencia corporis physici.

Ad hanc questione\u0304 If one form exists on the altar immediately when the physical form is not alone, another form follows it. The first is what is called \"that which is of the same substance as the altar.\" Wherever one form is, that form is also of the altar and of the flesh and blood, and so is every other thing of the same substance. Following this, whatever is of the same substance as that form, if it is corrupted or separated, loses its entire substance when it departs. If the entire substance is not of the form, this form will not corrupt it unless the entire substance is changed. Matter is an entity in potentiality. An entity in potentiality is not an entity without act. Therefore, you remove one act and another act is introduced: there is confusion there. In these matters, what is posited are the facts about the flesh and body being from the altar. \"ex quo sequitur quod separa aia corrupit ea corpus vel carnis et induat aliud per connus remanet caro vel corpus equioce, si aut forma dolabre esset forma subalis corporis physici, ex quo in uno corpore phico non esset nisi una forma sequitur quod ab illa forma totum esse huis corporis physici et illa forma corrupta non remanet corpus physicum nisi equivoce. Si aut forma dolabre esset forma acc Natalis, ea perpeta remanet corpus physicum, puta ferru licet non remanet corpus artificiale, pnta dolabra ita quod remanebit materia dolabra quod est corpus physicum aut ipsum dolabrum quid positueris una forma tempus aiia. Si aut ponatur duae forms, non credo ea verius et maxime in hoc duobus videtur quod phus. Si em aliqa forma aia et forma corporis vel forma carnis. videtur quod separa aia adhuc remanet corpus vel caro uniuoce.\" \"no matter what form that is, whether of flesh or bodies, but you point to two forms still capable of being saved in the body of the phi. To whom should evidence be shown concerning the fact that flesh or body can be received in two ways? One way is to call it something mixed, whose own form and prime matter are blended and reduced to a middle state, so that it may be either solid or liquid, and may be received either as corrupt or separate from the real flesh or not, in that vessel or in that porridge, and may not lose that form or the harmony of the body or corpse. The second way, the caro conit and is not so subaqueous, but mixed in a complexional way, as the phi is not in determination of that grade or harmony in which it may fit reception either as solid or liquid.\" Receiving this flesh, it is called flesh because some part of it remains as meat. The flesh spoken of is formed under a determined shape and therefore, when it loses that shape, it becomes corrupted or separated from the sensitive part and is called flesh or body indeterminately. Just as the distinction is made between flesh and the eye. And so, some have distinguished it as follows: this is the living and dead flesh, but not the substance of the soul, but rather the organ or instrument of sensation. The eye, both living and dead, is the same substance but not the instrument of sight unless it is under a determined harmony and degree, from which it loses its visual power and remains an eye in equilibrium.\n\nTo the argument, it is said in distinction. But what remains is that which is stated in its definition and the like.\n\nThere is no need to abandon the sensitive part. [quod] This corpus contains two things: first, it reveals this. Second, it inquires what is called the second act there. Just as an incision. Therefore, concerning this potency, which is the potency of Ai\u0101, it does not exclude the soul from living in the potency or from the organic body being in the potency as if it were not alive. But rather, it has it. For this potency does not exclude the soul but rather includes it. This potency includes the principle of life that is in Ai\u0101. Moreover, seed and fruit, in which the seed is conserved, are in the potency for the body to live and the soul is in the potency for the soul. Furthermore, concerning the incision, it reveals what the second act is.\n\nTo this evidence, it is noted that [quod] phus said that the living body is an ens in the potency, such that this potency does not abolish the act that is Ai\u0101, but rather, for other acts it is over and above [quod] this potency supposes that it is for. actus secundus is revealed, we say that, just as an incision is the act of a knife and a vision is the act of the eye, so vigilance is the act of an animal. And just as vision, that is, the potency of seeing, and every other potency is the act of the organ, so the soul is the act of the soul, but the body, when perfected by the soul, is that which can potency be and so the eye is something composed of matter and form, just as the soul is composed of form and matter. It is worth noting that Avicenna's physics puts threefold similarity between the soul and the whole animal, for instance the eye and the whole animal manifest to us the first and second acts. The first similarity is that, just as the potency of seeing is the act of the organ and instrument, so the soul is the act of the soul, for instance, just as the potency of seeing, which does not see an act in itself, does not exercise its powers without the aid of the vital powers, the soul is in the body. The following text is in Latin and requires translation and some corrections. Here is the cleaned version:\n\n\"Potentia ad actum sequitur Secunda, similitudo est, quia sicut visio actus secundus potentiae visibili est, ita vigilantia actus secundus tocius aetatis sensitivae. Ex quo sequitur, quod sicut visio est ultima perfectio potentiae visibili, ita vigilantia est ultima perfectio totius aetatis sensitivae. Quia ecia se quit quod proportio aspectus ad oculum quod aspicit est sicut proportio actionis sensuum ad animalia vigilantia. Vigilantia enim est usus sensuum. Tertia similitudo est, quia sicut in oculo vivo est aliquid loco materiae, puta pupilla, et aliquid loco formae, puta potentia visibili, et compositum ex utroque ita in toto animali est forma sicut animalia et materia sicut corpus et compositum ex utroque. Notandum est secundo, quod sicut imaginamur actu pumam, puta figuram, et actum secundum puta abstinere, ita in animali intellegemus actum pumam et secundum et tu dicetur quod proportio abscisionis ad instrumentum quod abscindit est sicut proportio actionis sensuum ad animalia in vigilia.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"Power follows the second act, it is a likeness, for just as vision is the second act of power that is visible, so is vigilance the second act of the entire sensory life. From this it follows that, just as vision is the ultimate perfection of the power that is visible, so is vigilance the ultimate perfection of the entire sensory life. Because the proportion of the aspect that looks at the eye is the same as the proportion of the action of the senses to animals in their vigilance. Vigilance, indeed, is the use of the senses. The third likeness is that, just as in a living eye there is something in place of matter, such as the pupil, and something in place of form, such as the power of sight, and composed of both, so in the whole animal is the form like the animal and the matter like the body and composed of both. It should be noted in the second place that, just as we imagine the act of a hammer, put as the figure, and the second act as abstaining, so in the animal we should understand the act of the hammer and the second and it will be said that the proportion of the cutting to the instrument that cuts is the same as the proportion of the action of the senses to animals in their vigilance.\" Queret aliquis ut sit verum quod hoc potentia non abicit actu qui est aia. Videt emu quod no qr potentia et actus oppositur. Unum oppositorum abicit aliud.\n\nAd oppositum est phus Solutio huius questionis si potuermus ea que ia dicta sunt in praecentibus. Est em duplex potentia, scilicet potentia materialis et potentia habitualis. Prima potentia, scilicet potentia materialis, de se nullam habet actum quod scribitur nec est quid nec quale nec est quantum, et sic de omni alio actu et quod de se nullam includit actum. Sed quod includit, hoc est per generans in virtute cuius materia est sub actu.\n\nCorpora quod hoc moest in potentia ad vitae non includit aiam, sed magis abicit et in talia potentia sunt corpora que pnnt ariari vel trahi ad vitalitate per utute generantis.\n\nSecunda potentia est potentia habitualis, et haec potentia ideo est quia ipa forma signata per modum habitus et quiescit, et quia talis potentia est ideo. ipha forma ideo de talis potentia bene dicit quod non abicit mihi formam, sed magis inclusit eam. Imaginabimus ergo, sciens est in potentia ut discat et sciens est in potentia ut consideret, sed tamen druter sciens est in potentia ad modum primae potentiae, non includit scientiam vel formam, aut si includeret, non nitereur ea acquirere per studium. Sciens autem est in potentia ad modum secundae potentiae. Sciens enim est in potentia per scientiam. Scientia autem est quaedam forma vel potentia actualis, per quam sciens poterit exire in actu quando voluerit, ideo haec potentia sic non abicit principium actus, immo est id quod principium actus ita non abicit formam. Eodem modo dicendum est, corpus vivum inclusit animam, animam autem inclusit potentiam habitualem per quam poterit excere actus secundos, puta videre et audire, et sic patet quod corpus vivum sic est ens in potentia ad exercitium actuum secundorum. no\u0304 abicit forma\u0304 hoc est animam patet ergo intentio phi\u0304 \u00b6Ad argumentu\u0304 p\u0290. pote\u0304cia em\u0304 abicit actum cui opponit sed poten\u00a6cia habitualis no\u0304 opponit actui p\u0304\u2223mo vel forme sed vel est ide\u0304 quod ipsa forma vel eam supponit. pote\u0304\u2223cia em\u0304 habitualis ad {con}siderandum idem est quod habitus sciencie nec respectu huius dicitur pote\u0304cia {sed} ra\u00a6spectu ipsius {con}siderare Eodem mo\u00a6do corpus viuu\u0304 no\u0304 dicit in potencia respectu anime sed respectu actuu\u0304 secu\u0304do{rum}. \u00b6Deinde cu\u0304 dicit.

Some, however, question what those parts are that do not affect the soul, because the parts of the soul are not affected like it will be shown below concerning the intellect. Therefore, Amplius adds, what is manifest and what is doubtful, saying that the act of the soul is not an act like a sailor is an act of a ship or a knot is manifest. He explains everything he has said, stating that some things have been determined about the soul and its description has been given figuratively and superficially and incompletely. The determination of what is being determined for anyone will be completed. Since we have been placed in certain definitions of the soul, here is the second definition that says 'because of what' and makes two natures. First, it places the intention of the definition given there. I will say, therefore, for clarity, that the intention of the definition is about two things.\" The text appears to be written in an old Latin script. I will translate it into modern English while preserving the original meaning as much as possible.\n\nconsistit. Primum quod definitionem dare debemus nobis prior est quam definitionem data et quia nos incipit a nobis et debet ad notiora tendere, ossibus demonstratio datis notificatis et ideo demonstratio incipit a nobis notioribus. Secundum quid circa quod consistit intuitus philosophicus est quod definitiones in duplici modo sunt: quia quaedam dicunt quid id est et quaedam propter quid et hoc talis definitio est dare ex qua concluditur definitio data. Hoc vidis dividitur in duas partes. Primo ponit primum intuitum. Secundum secundum ibi. Non solum quia Quanquam ergo ad primum dicit quod id quod est certum et rationabilius fit et natura certiora aute quo ad nos et per istum modum temptandum est aggregrare animam demonstrando. Notandum est quod anima nos non est nota nobis nisi ex effectibus et operibus eius et hoc quia omnia animalia. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of the soul and its relationship to the body. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Elongated is that which reaches our senses from whence follows the distinction that says the soul is the principal operator for us, rather than the one that says the soul is the actual principle of the body, and because our knowledge begins from our senses, we come to the one that says the soul is the actual principle of the body, by saying this:\n\nWhat is the first principle of living is an act and form of the body, but the soul is the first principle of living, therefore. It is form and act of the body. From these, it follows that the definition must be given, which concludes that the soul is the act and form of the body.\n\nFurthermore, it says, \"Not only this.\" It puts \"nature\" according to its intention and makes two things. First, it puts this forward. Second, it manifests its intention in a geometric example. Now, therefore, regarding the first, it is not necessary to say, \"as if by definition,\" with many terms, but rather\n\"\n\nI have removed unnecessary line breaks, whitespaces, and other meaningless characters. I have also corrected some OCR errors, such as \"sequit\" to \"follows,\" \"operu\u0304\" to \"operator,\" and \"principiu\u0304\" to \"principle.\" I have left the text as faithful to the original as possible while making it readable for modern audiences. eciam oportet quod definitionem dicat causam et rationem - that is, it should declare both what and why a definition can distinguish what. Notandum est quod intentio philosophi fundatur super duo fundamenta. Primum est quod definitiones sunt in duplici differentia. Quedam enim est definitio que dicit quid, ut dicimus quod tonitruum est continuus sonus in nubibus. Quedam est alia definitio que dit proper quid. Eo modo quod dicimus quod tonitruum est extinctio ignis in nube. Haec secunda definitio concludit primam. Secundum fundamentum super quo funtur phaenomena est quod si haec differentia definitionum potest esse in alis rebus, ita animam habet definitionem dicente quid et quid dicente proter quid. Prima autem est definitio data. Secunda autem est definitio dare.\n\nDeinde, cum dicit Nucius or Manifestat hanc differentiam definitionem evidencia notandum est quod tetragonis mus sine quadratu. This text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the definition of a tetragon, which is a quadrilateral with all sides equal in length. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nQuod accidit esse equale quadrangulo alteri, longiori duobus definitionibus, purae diffiniendi causa, quia una dicit quid aliud aut nihil aliud dicit propter quid. Si quaerat quid est tetragonismus, respondeas potest quia tetragonismus est orthogonaliter equilateralis, quadruor lineis contentum, aequale alteri per longiori. Hoc definitionem dicens, dicit quod orthogonium quod subsistit huic passionis, est aequale alteri per longiori et sic hoc definitionem tantum est quia si quaerat quid est tetragonismus, dicat quod est inventio medioprotionis quantitatis ex quibus fit alterum per longius. Hic dicens, dicit propter quid et causam, hoc est quia sicut rationes terminarum sunt conclusiones, sunt quae concludunt ut si quaeratur quid est tetragonismus, respondeas quod tetragonismus est orthogonaliter equilateralis aequale alteri per longiori.

Secunda The given text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the concept of squares and equality. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"Dra intet quadratu et altera perte longius est, quia quod quadratum fit ex ductu unius lineae in seipsam. Quia ut dictum est in quadrato per totum est equalitas fugit ab una quantitate ducta in seipsum. Hoc autem patet in numeris. Si enim dicamus bis duo vel ter tria, habemus numerum quadraturam. Altera autem perte longius surgit a duabus quantitatibus inequalibus, quarum una in aliam ducitur. Hoc autem patet in numeris. Binarius et ternarius sunt quantitates in aequales, quarum una si ducatur in aliam, dicendo bis tria surgit quadragulus aut altera perte longius. Ex hac dra pq querit qr possibile, quod figura que fugit ex ductu unius lineae in seipsam sit equalis figure que surgit ex ductu unius lineae in aliam, que sunt lineae inequales. Exemplum accipiatur una linea sczh sex pedum et ducat in seipsum, dicendo sic: sexies sex ex tali ductu fit quadratus xxxvi. Pedum nam sexies sex sunt xxxvi. Iterum accipiamus duas lineas inequales, quarum una est\" quater novae making forty-six. Therefore, if one were to ask how a square is longer than another proportionally, it is said that a new square will then be longer than the prior one by the same proportion as the new squares make forty-six. Secondly, one might inquire how the square root is discovered in the middle line. It is said that this question is clear from what has been said before. It is also said that a square arises from a line drawn through itself, or alternatively, if another line is longer than one line by an unequal proportion, there can be found a line from which a square is formed that lies in the middle proportion between those two unequal lines. Supposing this is the case, it can be found whether there is a line from which a square is formed that is longer than the other line in the middle proportion between those two unequal lines. This discovered line is the equality of the square and the longer one, and the discovery of this line reveals the cause. Therefore, the discovery of the middle line or the middle line itself is the cause of equality between the square and the longer line. Equality of the square and the longer one. The text appears to be written in an old Latin script. I will translate it into modern English and remove unnecessary characters.\n\nThe longer line is a passion. Take one line that is twelve palms long and another that is three palms longer. By saying this three times, twelve or thirteen lines are made into a triangle. Three times twelve makes thirty-six. If there is a line of equal middle proportion between these two lines from which the triangle is formed, a square will be made from this line that is equal to the previous square. This line is six palms long. Six is in the middle between three and twelve. As six is to thirteen, so is twelve to three. A duodecimal is double a senarius, and a senarius is more than a ternarius. Since a senarius can be taken into itself, we have thirty-six. Si senarius takes itself, it makes thirty-six. Three taken into twelve makes thirty-six. Therefore, from this line, a square equal to the longer one can be made. media...quod hec conclusio potest sic demonstrari. Omnis figura, produceta a mediana continua in seipsam, tantum vincit; tercia quanta vincitur a prima, equalis est ei, quod fit ex ductu primae proportionis, tercia sed tetragonismus est figura, surgit a memoria continua proportionione, quae tmvincit tercia, ergo tetragonismus est equalis quadrangulo aut altera per longiori, quod fit ex ductu primi. Ocamus igitur, posita intentione hic, ex equito physico intentu suo est aut suum intentum, quod anima est principium vivendi. Sic aut procedit. Quod autem distinguit modos vivendi, ostendit quod aia est principium vivendi, unicumque modum vitae ibi. Vnde. All living things manifest that the principles of vital operations are directed towards them there. Among these, what is the one thing? In the fourth place, it is shown that the principle of life is like a form there, just as it is here. But why are we alive and sentient? Therefore, first, he distinguishes the modes of living, saying that the principle of our intention is that which leads us in sequence. Animated things are distinguished from inanimate things through life, because the animated live and the inanimate do not live. The mode of living is complex, so that one of these modes is said to live in someone, and if only one mode lives, we say that someone lives by that mode. However, there are four modes of living: one through intellect, for to understand is a kind of living; another through sense, for to sense is a kind of living; a third through motion and local position, for to move and progress from oneself is a kind of living; a fourth through motion of food and excretion and growth. One might ask whether divine providence is sufficient. He sees that it is not. The following text appears to be written in an ancient or archaic form of English, possibly Latin, and contains several errors and inconsistencies. I will attempt to clean and translate it as faithfully as possible to the original content.\n\nAppetite is what vital activity is. But in this distinction, no mention is made of appetite, so the distinction is insufficient.\n\nTo the contrary, it is clear that this question can be answered by two truths. In the prime truth, the existence that is between act and form will be shown. To make this evident, it is necessary to note that to be is to be from form and to act. Therefore, due to the diversity of forms, being and acting differ.\n\nThere is a form that is so weak that it does not flow with life from it. There is another form from which life flows. And this form is called soul. From the former, nothing flows that is what it is to live, and therefore it will be explained below. To live is to be alive.\n\nImagine that, just as light is not all that exists but rather what it is to shine, so too the living is not all that exists but rather what it is to live.\n\nThe second truth to be declared is that although the soul flows to live, yet the diversity of living beings flows from it in a different way. Some soul is that from which, on account of itself, the diversity of living beings flows. The infirmity flows only in a vegetative way, like the soul of plants. And this soul is in the lowest degree and makes the first living being. It is the one from which the vegetative and sensory life flows, but from it there is no power to move itself in a progressive way or in a way other than that of the location. Such is the soul of imperfect animals, remaining in the same place, like an oyster. In the third mode, the soul is that from which the vegetative and sensory life flows, and it moves in a progressive way, but from it there is no power to understand, and such a soul is more elevated than the first and second, and it makes the third degree of living being, which is the degree of perfect animals that move in a progressive way. In the fourth mode, the soul is that from which the intellectual life flows, and it is in the third degree of living being. However, it should be noted that the appetite does not prevent the vegetative degree of living being from being distinguished from the degree of appetite itself. But the vegetative soul itself acts against itself. sensum et moueri sensus contra graduum percipi vegetationis sine ists. Idem modo sensus facit contra moueri et intelligere quia percipi sine illis. Quidem animalia sensitia sed non mouentur nec intelligent ut imperfecta animalia. Quedam autem sensitia et movetur non tamen intelligitur et hoc animalia facit contra intelligere. Cum ergo sensus non percipitur si appetitus non faciet contra appetitum. Deinde quod dicit: Unumquodque vegetabile. Ostensum quod vivum dicitur multis modis ostendit quod anima est principium vitae in his godis vitae et primo ostendit quod anima est principium vitae in plantis. Secundum quod anima est principium vitae in animalibus ibi. Animalia antea propter sensum. Prima in his autem ostendit quod anima est principium vitae in plantis. Secundum ostendit quod prudendi principium vivendi potest ab alis separari ibi. Separari autem.\n\nQuantum ad primum dicit: Omnia vegetabilia videtur vivere. Si antea viventum est opportet. \"Those who have been the principals of this life, because they have received increase and decrease in contrary places. It is not allowed for it to be increased too much above. Nor decreased below. But it is increased in both, that is, in upward and downward directions, and nothing is increased and decreases except this principal thing itself. Those things that are not increased and decreased live as long as they can receive nourishment. It is to be noted that Aristotle intended to make such a consequence. Those that move to contrary places are warned from the beginning, that is, from the aether. But the vegetative soul moves to contrary places because it grows upward and downward. Therefore, it moves from the beginning, that is, the soul, so that it may see these things. The first form does not move except to one place. Such a form is either the form of a simple body, for instance, an element, and of such a kind is it that the one element moves only to one place, either upward or downward.\" deorsum tm2 vel em2 forma corporis mixti mai2a ti & talis forma ecia2 mouet ad vau2 qr mouet sm motu2 elementi in ipso predn2\nAnima aute2 movet contrarios motus. Cum vegetalia moventur, contrarios motus sequit, quod principium huius motus non sit forma prima sed secunda, que est aia2.\nDeinde cum dicit seperari ab alijs. Obtinet quod predicatum principium vivendi possibile est ab alijs seperari. Qr pertinere aliud quidquid ita vivit vita vegetativa quod tamen non sentit nec movet uet intelligit. Alia principia vivendi impossibile est seperari ab illo principio in mortalibus. Hoc autem quod dictum est sczh, hoc principium potest seperari ab alijs in his que vegetantur .i. in plantis in quibus non inest alia potentia alia illi.\nEx quo maniststu2 est quod anima vegetabilis est primum principium vivendi propter idquod principium. Vivere inest omnibus viventibus. Notandum quod phus dicens quod aliae potentiae non potest seperari. In vegetable matters and this addition is for their distinction. A substance alive in separated form does not support the vegetative. In mortals, the vegetative power seems to be the root of other powers, and therefore Physis says that the vegetative soul is the first mover. Then it says that an animal is an animal through sense, and for this reason. First, it says that an animal is an animal through the first sense, which is touch. Therefore, it is necessary for an animal to have a sense of touch in order for it to be an animal. However, it is not necessary for it to move in a progressive manner. There are many animals that do not move from a place. sed semper maneat in eodem loco et quia sunt animalia propter primum sensum. Talia Emmaimalia non solum vivunt vita plantae, sed ecia vivunt vita sensitiva. Cum enim sint manescia et non mobilia habent solum sensum tactus, quisquis quaeret quomodo ex dictum phi probari potest quod principium vitae est in animalibus. Dicendum est quod hoc probari potest talis syllogismo: In illo in quo necessario est sensus tactus est principium vitae. Quia tactus est quidam sensus sentire aut quiddam vivere, ergo in animali necessario est sensus tactus ergo in eo est principium vitae, principium vitae est aiia et hoc quia aiia est forma vitalis.\n\nSecundo quisquis quaeret, quo animalia est tactus. Dicendum est quod, sicut ondet in terricio, tactus non tantum est sus quam forma essentialiter constituit animal. Nulla enim res potest reperiri sine forma ipsum essentialiter constituit. Eodeum modo nullum animal potest reperiri sine tactu, multa enim alia reperntur sine alijs. sensibus sicut animalia im{per}fecta sed nullu\u0304 sine tactu \u00b6Deinde cu\u0304 dicit.

Secondly, in the sensitive, and so it can also be hunted in the sensitive and vegetative, indeed in other powers as well, the potency in motion and even in the intellectual. From this difference, it is asked whether the principle of life can belong to each part in a univocal way, or whether the soul is the principle, just as it argues thus:\n\nPhysicality is the principle of the physical in living beings. Sensitivity is the principle of life in sentient beings, and so on for other potencies. Univocally, therefore, the soul is the principle of life.\n\nThe second, however, differs from this definition, and this second definition is inferior because its reason is that we come to a notion of the soul through its effects and operations, which lead us to the powers that are parts of the soul. Just as vegetative operations lead us to the vegetative power, and sensory operations to the sensory power, and so on. alijs. This definition is more harmful to us than the first, and these are more harmful to us than the soul itself. Over time, the rational part of the soul approaches the soul without its powers. But we would become part of the soul itself through its powers.\n\nOne question is raised about what the gradus vivencium are and what comes after the ostensum. After the onsum is what the parts of the soul are, the principles of living. Here he asks how the parts of the soul relate to the soul itself, and how they relate to each other. He makes two points. First, he raises these questions. Second, he solves them there.\n\nRegarding the principles of living, this is continued in a similar way. He first asks whether the anima or the pers aie are one of the principles, and if one of the predictorum is the pers anime. Second, he asks whether one pers anima is separable from the others only in reason, or if it is also separable in locum and subiectu. \"It is to be noted that the soul is not in one part of the body and something else in another. The soul is the potentiality of which all its parts are the very same potentiality. We will imagine that it is not possible for the human soul to feel everything because if it could feel everything, itself it would not be able to understand. The same holds true for understanding: it is not possible for the human soul to understand everything because if it could understand everything, itself it would not be able to feel. Since feeling is a partial power, it follows that the sensitive power is a certain thing. Similarly, since understanding is a partial power, it follows that the intellectual power is a certain thing. This is due to the relationship and proportion that exists between potentiality and act. Therefore, it is said that potentialities are parts. Regarding parts, one could imagine that these parts are distinguished in such a way that in one part of the body there is one potentiality and in another there is another.\" Some parts of the text are unreadable due to missing characters and inconsistent Latin formatting. However, I'll try to provide a cleaned version as faithfully as possible to the original content.\n\naliquis ymaginari quod hee petes no\u0304 distinguuntur, sed solu\u0304 petes rationem.

Loco reunite in one and another part of the body, as sight is found in the eye and hearing in the ear, smell in the nostrils, and taste in the palate. According to the foundation, those parts or organs, which can be found in one and the same part of the body, are not necessary to be separable in place. Therefore, it is argued thusly. Those parts or organs of the soul which can be or are in one and the same place are not separable in place. But sense, motivation, and appetite are in one and the same place. The fact that sense, motivation, and appetite are in one and the same place is proven by nature. In living animals, each part, for after being cut off, it continues to live, senses, moves, and desires. It is clear from this letter that in some parts of the soul, it is not difficult to see that they are not separable in place. However, some have doubts about this. What follows is the text of the doubt. In certain plants, it is difficult to discern which parts live separately from the soil, as there is a resemblance between the flat parts and animals. In plants, we see some parts that appear to live independently and have a soul, which is evident in the way that cut branches are planted and take root, indicating that there is life and consequently a soul within them. The soul is one in action but multiple in potential, as after the division of the parts, the soul is saved in each part. Just as we see differences in the soul in plants, so we see differences in animals. We see, for example, in animals with a divided vital force, that is, in animals where each part has a sense but which, when pressed, withdraws if it does not feel, and each part has a sense and a will to move towards itself and in the same way, there is motion and sensation in the same part. Similarly, in the same way, there is a soul in each of them. However, if there were not a soul in them, they would not be movable. vtraque perciu hoc sensum hoc est fantasiam. Cuius ratio est. Quia fantasia, ut infra dicetur, non est nisi motus factus a sensu. Si ergo in vtraque perciu est sensus in vtraque partiu, si etiam vtraque fantasiam habet etiam sensum hoc etiam appetitum, quod potest sic declarari. Ubi est sensus necessario ibi est leticia vel tristia. Ubi autem leticia vel tristia ibi est desiderium siue appetitus, ergo ubi est sensus ibi est appetitus. Sensitiuum et appetitium non sunt separati.\n\nNotandum est primo ad evidenciam dictorum, quod similitudo est inter corpora naturalia que sunt omogenea, sicut est aer, aqua et planta. Corpora enim naturalia omogenea sunt eiusdem rationis in toto et in parte. Unde sunt siles in specie inter se et etiam sunt similes toti. Non sic autem est in corpore etheromogeneo. Talem corpus requirit diversitate partium propter quamdam diversitatem formae specifice tocius non salvet in qualibet partium. In corpore ergo All parts of a man are not merely one in actuality but have the potential for more. For instance, air is the form of the body for ethereal beings, just as the form of a hand is one in actuality but not one in potentiality. Not every part of a man is a hand. In plants, however, due to a great similarity among them, the form of the entire plant is one in actuality and has many potentialities. It is worth noting that the soul of a plant is the lowest among souls, requiring little diversity in its parts but supplying great unity, and therefore the parts participate in reason as a whole. Similarly, it can be said of animals that, although their bodies are composed of diverse organs, they are uniform in nature. Such animals do not require great diversity in their organs or parts but rely on great unity for this reason. per titium vivit. It is to be noted that where sense can be understood, what is agreeable and what is painful can be perceived. But where agreeable and painful can be perceived, they can be joy and sorrow. Agreeable, in fact, is perceived as delightful. Painful perception, on the other hand, is perceived as grievous, and therefore Philo's statement that sensation follows delight and sorrow and desire is true.\n\nOne might ask whether it is true that in every living creature, the soul has a definite part assigned to fantasy. It seems not. For fantasy is attributed to a definite organ. Nor, in fact, is there a definite organ in the living creature for fantasy.\n\nTo answer the question, it must be said that fantasy exists in two forms. It is either determined or indetermined. Determined fantasy is that which receives the sensible in the absence of the sense and imagines a certain place, and this fantasy has a determined organ for greater effectiveness and determination. actus fantasie cannot be nothing like the actus visus is not without an eye and a fantasy is only in perfect animals. Another is fantasy indeterminate which is moved only in sensible presence and such fantasy is in imperfect animals, and this philosopher speaks of it here. Regarding this, it would be better to speak in the third. Then, when he says, \"Concerning intellect and the like,\" he shows in which parts it is not clear. Here he shows that nothing is yet manifest about the intellect and the speculative power, i.e., the intellect called the speculative power, nor does it appear from what is said. Whether the intellect has some distinct organ in the body or not, it seems that the intellect is a higher kind of soul than other parts of the soul and separate from the corporeal organ, as if it were. perpetual are subject to corruption. Of some of these, it is manifest to the senses and appetite that they are not suitable for a place like our own, as physis testifies. It should be noted for clarification that physis means that the intellect is subjected to the organ of the body, which we have considered in the elements and potency. The soul, therefore, gives its substance to such a body and makes its proper operations effective. If the operation of the soul is completed through a corporeal organ, then the potency that is the principle of that operation will be the act of those corporeal parts. If, however, the operation of this is not completed through a corporeal organ, then the potency that is the principle of that operation will not be the act of any corporeal parts. Such a potency is a potency of intellect and is therefore called a potentiality separate. However, it is not that the intelligible forms are not formed in the body, but it is called separate because it is not exercised through. organus: Queret aliquis occasionem huius dicendi, quomodo ab essencia quae est forma corporis potest fluere potentia que non est actus corporis. Ad hoc dicebam, quod hoc est propter elevationem anime intellectue est emana anima intellectiva omnino elevata super formas immersas materiae. Et quia elevatio quidem accidit, quod excedit materiam et ideo ab ea potest fluere potentia que exercet actum suum non per organum materiale nec per organum corporale. Imaginabimur emn sic, quod ab essuia formaali que omnino immersa materia et que non excedit materiam, non potest fluere potentia separata. Cuius ratio est, quia si hoc esset potentia, esset dignum quam essentia, quod est impossibile. Quod autem hoc sequitur, pzr quia potentia separata nobilior est quam essentia immersa. A essentia autem formaali, quae non est immersa materia sed aliqno modo excedit materiam, qualis est essentia animae intellectuae, potest fluere potentia separata et eciam potentia non separata. Anima humana tenet. The text appears to be written in an old form of Latin or a Latin-derived language. I will attempt to translate and clean it as faithfully as possible to the original content.\n\nThe text reads: \"Medium inter summa et infima in quam tantum autem attingit summa et est quodammodo imago summorum ab ea fluuit potentia separata. Inquam, tantum emanget infima ab ea fluunt potentiae separate, que non exercent actus suos nisi per organa corporalia. Deinde quid altere ratione autem? Postquam ostensum est quod quaedam partes animae, sicut est vegetativae sensitivae et appetitivae, non sunt separabiles hic probat quod sunt separabiles ratione. Fundat autem sua probatio super duo fundamenta. Primum est quod potentiae distinguuntur per actus, ita si actus distinguuntur ratione et potentiae. Distinctio enim in actibus arguit distinctione in potentiais. Puta si opinari et sentire ratione distinguuntur, sequitur quod potentiae opinionativae et sensitivae rationibus distinguuae sunt. Secundum fundamentum suum, per quod fundatur phus, est quod actus predicatarum potentiarum dront ratione. Ex quo sequitur per primum fundamentum quod.\"\n\nCleaned text: \"The medium between the higher and lower [aspects] reaches the higher one and is in a way an image of the higher [beings] from it flows a separated power. When it reaches the lower [aspect], the powers flow separately, which do not exercise their acts except through bodily organs. Furthermore, what else is there by reason? After it has been shown that certain parts of the soul, such as the vegetative, sensitive, and appetitive, are not separable here, it proves that they are separable by reason. Its proof is based on two foundations. The first is that the potencies are distinguished by acts, so if acts are distinguished by reason and potencies, the distinction in acts argues for a distinction in potencies. For example, if to opine and to sense are distinguished by reason, it follows that the potencies of opinion and sensation are distinguished by reasons.\" etiam ipse potecie ratione drunten. Hic visis prazque ita continuet: Ita dcme est, quod potecie non apparent loco. Manifestum est, quod sunt alia. I. diuersa ratione. Sensitivo et opinativo est alia, id est, potentia opinativa et sensitiva diversa sunt, seme et ratione. Haec autem diversitas pendit in actibus.

Some understand and recognize that they are men. But some animals only have the mentioned qualities at the beginning. Among these, there is one inestimable thing in the mentioned principles that causes a great drama in the aforementioned libus. For this reason, it is necessary to explain the following and so it happened concerning the senate. Some animals have all senses like a perfect bird. But among these, some have one sense less than others, like a mole, and among these, touch is the least necessary for imperfect animals.\n\nSomeone might ask how the first question posed by Phi was solved in the earlier text. It was said that the first question was about whether the soul is the whole animal or a part of it, and whether the soul is the whole plant or a part of it, and about other principles mentioned. This question was solved if we consider the two foundations. The first foundation is that the vegetative power is found in the whole soul in the same way that we say that the vegetative power is the whole plant. The vegetative power is self-evident. sumptuous with another, let us call such a soul more properly \"anima\" than the whole aia, because at that time it could not be called \"vegetating soul\" in the same way that we say \"anima\" can vegetate: because beyond this, the imagination imagines that there is no denial from the last and from dignity. Where, then, is the vegetating soul such that it has no other self there to be called a vegetating soul? Where does something else vegetate beyond the vegetating soul at that time, and the soul should be called \"anima\" more properly?\n\nSecondly, that which is put first is what contains some single principle or multiple principles. If this foundation is true, then it follows by the same solution for every question. Where is that single principle or multiple principles called \"anima\" if it is the principal one? Where are there multiple principles, each of which should be called \"anima\"?\n\nAlthough the animation comes from a higher place, we say that vegetating soul does not signify the whole. animalia this one animus can say that the entire animalia can vegetate. In the same way, animus says that the entire animalia senses from this, because sensitia is nobler than vegetativa. Therefore, this animus denies sensation and it is clear that from the words phi has a solution to the question \"Deinde, quid est vita?\". But Quid autem quo vivimus? Ostendo quod aia est principium vitae. Here, he shows that it is the principium vitae, just as forma and hoc ondit. Secondly, from the truth shown, we conclude these conclusions there. Therefore, it is well believed. Veritas integra scit quod aia est principium vitae, just as forma onditur ex duobus fundamentis. Primum fundamentum est quod duo concurrant ad aliqua actione, and secundum fundamentum, quia pauperetur forma secundum actum fit materia. Secondly, the second fundamental is that which vivimus is, and this animus is not that. Anima primo concurrit ad vitam, quia est illud quod vivimus, sic corpus materia. Hoc duo fundamenta habet duas partes: primo pone primum fundamentum, secundo sequitur ibi. Anima quatuor ergo ad primum fundamentum pertinet, quod illud quod vivimus et sentimus duobus modis, quasi dicit vivimus aliquid et sentimus aliquid, quod quidem aliquid est forma vel materia. Ita est de vivere et sentire, sicut de scire. Illud quod scimus duobus modis scimus ipsum et scientiam. Utroque enim currit ad agendi sciendi, similiter eodem modo est de vivere et sentire, quam est de sanari. Illud autem quo sanamur duobus modis sanamur sanitate et corpore, puta per te corpus vel totum corpus. Unumquemque autem sicut forma sicut sanitas vel scientia. Reliquum autem hoc, aut hoc ipsum, currit ut potentia. Racio quare haec duo concurrant, quia sanitas vel scientia sunt formae vel quidem quae sunt. spees. Forma est in actuis susceptivis et propria forma requirit propria susceptiuia. Scientia est forma et actus scientificus, i.e., perteis aie in qua est scientia, ideo ad sciendi no solum converrit scientia, sed ecia pertei in qua est scientia propter quod converrit bonae disciplinae est quod no solum scimus scientiam, sed ecia sanitas autem est propria susceptivia corporum sanabilis. Ad sanitate converrit sanitas et propria susceptiuia sanitatis propter quod dicimur sanari non solum sanitate, sed corpore et sicut de scientia et sanitate quae requirunt propria susceptiuia ita est de omnibus actibus formalibus. Actus actiuorum semper est in pace et dispesito.\n\nQueret aliquis quare forma hic vocat actus actiuos. Ditendum est quod materia de se nihil est in actu quod in fundamento naturae nichil est distinctum, sed per vim agentium et generatiuni trahitur ad actum hic. Ergo actus ad quae trahit materiam hoc. The text appears to be written in an ancient Latin script, and it seems to be discussing concepts related to actions, intentions, and substances. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nduplicis aspectu. aspicit en agens quinque actuuum a quo inducitur et quam ad hoc respectu dr actus actiortum. I.e. actus qui inducit ab actuis siue ab agentibus in passum. Aspicit eius ide actus passus in quo recipit et quam ad hoc de eo in paciente et disposito. I.e. in eo quod est aptum naturae pati actione talis agentis siue quod eo aptum naturae movi a tali agente et quod est dispositum cosi qui forma et fine motis medianti. Dein cu dt. Aia aut. ponit secundum fundamentum suum super quo fundat intentio sua et est quod ai ma est primum quod vidimus ex quo sequitur quod sit forma hoc est ergo quod dt quod ai est primum quod vidimus sentimus movimur et intelligimus hoc dcm tu ad quattuor genera vitae de quibus supra dictum est. Vivere em refert ad paucipium vegetationibus et quia anima est ilud quod primo vivimus sequitur quod anima sit quidquid ratio et species et forma et non quod sit materia vel subiectum ut em dcm non est supra. Substantia autem trium modis est. Est. emm substance is matter in potency and form and composed of both. Matter itself is being in potency. Form itself is the actuating principle in this potency and comes from both matter and form. Not this is not to say that the body is the act of the soul but rather that the soul is the act of some body. It should be noted that from these words it follows that this second definition concludes the whole. For it may be said thus: two things, or both, are called something or operate on something, but form and act are one and the same, for the soul is that which gives life. Therefore, form and act are one and the same, and this is what the second definition is, which is the principle of life that encompasses all. Furthermore, according to this, nature concludes from these statements two conclusions, and makes two conclusions which the second one there sets forth, and for this reason in the body. Concludes, therefore, in conclusion, and it continues thus: It is what is, that which is judged to be a corporeal being, and therefore, those who see that it is not a body, may not truly be a body themselves, though it may not be without a body. A body it is not, for it is not matter, but rather an act and something corporeal and an act of the corporeal, and that which is an act is in the one in whom there is an act, i.e., the organic body. A body it does not make, but rather a body of such a kind, and therefore, it is not to be compared to other bodies, as some have said, who adapted it to a body, determining neither in what nor in which body it is. So you say that it commits a peccadillo, that it does not see a body.\n\nConcludes the second conclusion, and it continues thus: It is said that a body is what is corporeal and for this reason, it is in a body. There is an act of some corporeal being, and it is this corporeal being. A body it does not make, but rather an act of a corporeal being, and it is this corporeal being, i.e., the organic body. It does not produce a body in the way that other bodies are produced, but rather, it is an act of a corporeal being. And it is this corporeal being. Therefore, it is not to be compared to other bodies, as some have said, who adapted it to a body, determining neither in what nor in which body it is. So you say that it sins, that it does not see a body. \"Therefore, a contingent body, i.e., it does not make a body complete in itself, but rather proprius and this is what happened with the letter. For any action that comes to be from matter and is proper to it, therefore, the matter itself is more concerned with its own actions. Manifestly, among these, there is that which is actus and the reason for these bodies, which organic beings in potentiality possessing life.\n\nHowever, regarding the soul, it is to be discussed here in common what pertains to it in particular. This is divided into two parts, because it determines the potentialities of the soul in common. In special cases, it distinguishes the potentialities of the soul. Why then, in the case of alimentation? It distinguishes the potentialities of the soul into two. Why and what and in what order are to be determined regarding the potentialities of the soul here? Why and in what way do they follow one another?\n\nFurthermore, it distinguishes the potentialities of the soul into three.\" quo se hoc est confertis ad ipsum, quod quatuor ad pnum dtquod de potentia que supra nobis sunt quibusdam insunt oes, ut his quibusdam aut insunt queda, sicut alis aliis. Quibusdam ineat una sola potentia, sicut plantis inest sola vegetativa. Dico autem hic potentiae vegetativae sensitivae appetitivaeque motivaeque et intellectivaeque. Quisque quas hic noverit, phus vegetativae sensitivaeque appetitivaeque motivaeque et intellectivaeque.\n\nAd evidendam huius questionis declarande sunt duae veritates. Prima veritas quod formae descendent a primo principio gradus ita quod queda forma magis appropinquat ad principium et queda magis elongatur. Maxime obnubilata. Imaginabimur em quod hoc intelligit cum continuo et intelligit per inclinationem qua habet ad continuum, ita quod hoc intellectivum est in orizontes aeternitatis et teris immediate infra. In this truth declared, we have intellectual, sensitive, and vegetative. In the intellect, there is nothing without matter and without conditions of matter. In contrast, in sense, there are things that have being, but not without conditions.\n\nAfter sensitivity in the inferior grade follows vegetation, which in no way receives a form imposed by matter. From this truth, therefore, we have intellectual, sensitive, and vegetative.\n\nIn the intellect, there is nothing without matter and without conditions of matter. However, in sense, there are things that have being, but not without conditions. The given text appears to be written in an ancient or medieval Latin script. I will translate it into modern English while maintaining the original content as faithfully as possible.\n\nmateriae quae sunt hic et nunc Vegetationis autem non accipit rem esse intentionalem et ideo non est in potencia cognoscens. Secundae veritas declarat duas potentias scilicet appetitivum et motivum. Est autem hoc veritas, quod siquidem ad formam naturalem sequitur inclinatio ita ad formam apprehensiam. Dicitur autem in precedenti veritate, quod intellectus et sensus apprehendunt res, ergo\nad formam apprehensam per sensum et in intellectuale sequitur inclinatio. Hac inclinatione dicimus appetitum. Ad formam essentiam autem apprehensam sive ad apparem tuam sequit operatio, quae est motus localis. Appetitus enim impetrat motum & virtus affixa membris exequitur, ita habemus appetitum et motum \u00b6Deinde dicit, Inest autem in plante, quod pectus potentia se coequatur adhuc et hoc est manifestare pertecente. Divisit autem hoc in duas, scilicet quod pectus potentia est ibi cum alia sint. \n\nTranslation:\n\nThe material of things that are here and now in the realm of vegetation does not accept the intention of a thing and therefore is not in the potentiality of knowing. The second truth declares two powers, namely the appetitive and the motive. But this truth is, that if one follows the natural form in the same way as it follows the form of apprehension. It is said in the preceding truth that the intellect and sense perceive things, therefore the inclination follows the form of apprehension through the intellect. We call this inclination appetite. But to the form of essence or appearance that you see, or to the one that follows it, there is an operation, which is a local motion. Appetite indeed impels motion, and the virtue fixed in the limbs executes it, so we have appetite and motion \u00b6Furthermore, it is said that there is a power in the plant, which follows its chest and this is to manifest what is preceding. It divided this into two, namely that the power of the chest is there where other things are. \"Consult those to whom certain plants belong. For some beings, a single soluble potion is sufficient for growth, such as those that are alive and sensitive. If it is present in them, it is necessary for them to have sensation and appetite. He who divides desire into three parts, that is, desire which is desirable and irascible, and volition, which is the object of desire. And if he says, \"nature,\" the appetited nature confesses its desirable and irascible aspects and volition. Notandus is that nature gradually progresses from imperfect to perfect, in which nature progresses, and it permits the subsequent process to proceed, always surpassing the previous one. This is what is in the lower grades of life, which are those in which vegetation exists, and these are the beings that have life in a more perfect state, and these are the ones that have vegetation and sensation, and so on, and thus I proceed, and it will eventually reach the ultimate grade of life.

Certificandu aute Quatuor ergo ad pma ponit talem rationem Cuicquque \"In the sense of touch there is thirst and hunger. But for one who has thirst and hunger, there is also concupiscence and appetite for all other senses. This can be reduced to two propositions. The first is that other things touch and this nature provokes in the beginning. The second is that to the sense of touch follows hunger and thirst, and this nature places it there. Hunger and thirst. In the first proposition it is proven that the eyes are necessary for us to live, as we cannot have the sense of tasting without them, or touch. That is, the eyes are necessary for us to be touched, the sense by which we discern food and drink. All other things are affected by hot and cold, wet and dry. But touch is the sense by which we perceive hot, cold, wet, and dry.\" The tactile sense is a sense of nourishment. For other things nourish the touchable and nothing else confers nourishment on the other senses, except that touch is joined to tangible things. Sound, color, and smell do not confer nourishment on the body except when they touch the body and make it hot, cold, moist, or dry. Humor, that is, taste, is something tangible, and this is why taste is not a nourisher or provider of nourishment, but rather a provider of heat, cold, moisture, and dryness. It is to be noted that we are made of and nourished by these things. We are indeed made of heat, cold, moisture, and dryness, and therefore we are nourished by them. Let us imagine that nothing nourishes except what can be assimilated to it, and that which is assimilated to it cannot be nourished by anything except what is composed of heat, cold, moisture, and dryness. Then when it says \"Furies and thirst,\" it places the second proposition and continues thus. It is said thus. All animals have a sense of hunger, to which is added a sense of thirst. Consequently, there is a desire and appetite for food when there is a sense of hunger, and a desire and thirst for drink when there is a sense of thirst. Taste is a sign of delight in food. Taste is not delightful in itself, but indicates a suitable proportion of hot and cold, moist and dry in food. The taste is the closest sequel to the food in its qualities. It is noted that hunger and thirst are two primary appetites. Therefore, animals become hungry and thirsty for those things which nourish them, that is, hot and cold, moist and dry. It is to be noted that food does not become nourishment unless it is heated and beneficial for digestion and transformation. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the requirements for food to be effective in restoring the depleted and the need for both hot and cold food for proper nutrition. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"cibi fit ecias sicca quod quiadem sicca addit loco depetit et alimentum debet ee calidum & sicci ita quod calidum iuuet virtute alteriuas cibos et sicca restoret depetit. ideo dcme est quod fames est desiderium calidi et sicci.

Therefore, it is because famine is a desire for the hot and dry. The body needs humid food whose nature is such that dryness does not flow by itself to the limbs, and therefore it needs humid food to be like a vehicle for food and to carry it to the limbs and make it well-formed in the appearance of the limbs that nourish it. The body needs cold food whose nature is such that if the humid vehicle of food is not in the cold, it consumes cold and hot in the cold and diminishes, and because of this double need, it is called thirst a desire for the cold and humid.\" \n\n\"Furthermore, when it says 'it must be certified,' he excuses himself from the previous determination, saying that of these things, it will be certified individually later, or in the following things, it will be spoken of individually.\" animals have a touch in their being and appetite. But how fantasy behaves towards appetite and sensitivity is something immanent and will be manifested later. Then he says, \"What kind of things are these?\" He returns to what was proposed. It was proposed to show how the powers of the soul gradually ascend and are continued in this way. It is said that only those living beings have vegetation, and those that have vegetation and sensitivity and place and location are the ones for whom food is sufficiently prepared from the earth. Those that have intellect like humans, and if there is any other kind of being similar to humans, they also have intellect in them. Intellect is in substantial beings. In living beings, there is no other kind of being that has a living being with intellect except in the human species. Intellect has no corporeal organ, and they cannot be diversified in intellect as in the diversity of their organ complexion. diversificantur speciees sensitivorum sum complexiones quibus diuisimode se habent hoc modo ad observaciones.

Prima similitudo est quod, sicut in figuris rectilineis nulla est figura rectilinea post triangulum et eas quae ipsum sequuntur in ordine figurarum, ita in iae nulla est ia pter vegetabilia et eas quae post ipsum sunt in ordine iae. Imaginabimur enim in figuris rectilineis ordine essentiali infra quae ardine an et post quod una figura est alia sicut triangulus ante quadrangulum infra quae ecia ordine est omnis figura rectilinea eodem modo in animalibus est ordo essentialis an et post infra quod ordine capit omnia ia et nulla eex huc. order. Secondly, the silica is entirely in figure and in name is what it is in figures, that is, finding reason commensurate with all figures and the reason proper to this figure or that. Similarly, in the same way, the same is found in the elements, that is, finding reason commensurate with all elements, be it vegetative or sensitive. And so, as in figures, the definition is not sufficient without the proper element, nor is the proper definition sufficient without the defined element.\n\nThe third similarity between figure and element is that, just as a triangle is contained in a tetragon and in other figures, so the vegetative and sensitive powers are contained in the elements. It is to be imagined that one sense distributes itself in what way. ptates suas in opera vegetationi et apud plus et hoc: quicquid putus inferius putus superius aut putus inferius salutat in superiore.

Vegetation and sensitivity are interconnected, for vegetation exists without sensitivity, but it is unable to counteract without a counterpart. Sensitivity is not present without vegetation. Vegetation persists through sensitivity, just as in the plates. It is ordered above all things natural to conserve and acquire it. To be natural is a fundamental quality that lies beneath others, and vegetation is a fundamental quality that orders and conserves and acquires such a thing.\n\nHowever, there is also Iteru. It places the second connection. This connection is tactile and has some senses, but not all, for neither does one sense exist without the other, nor can it touch without tactile sensation. Tactile sensation can exist without other senses. Many animals have neither sight nor hearing nor the sense of smell and yet have touch.\n\nIt should be noted that the sense which is of touch. \"necessitate aialis debet esse fundamentum aliorum sensuum, quod non sunt de necessitate aialis.

Licet autem quibusdam aliis no insit imaginatio sicut nec intellectus altera. The following is a Latin text discussing the nature of imagination and intellect. Below are some things to note:\n\n1. Definition: This definition is truly and originally the definition of the thing that is called imagination, as it is recognized among us. It is manifest that the nature of this thing gradually and step by step descends into the heavens. Some heavens possess only a sense of this, and in them, animals do not have imagination.\n2. Imagination is twofold: The indeterminate kind, of which I spoke above under the heading of nature, and the determined kind, which the philosopher speaks of as not being in all heavens. There are also other things that have sense and motion in this way and experience and art, like the heavens.\n3. Necessity: It is necessary.\n4. We must determine in what order we shall consider these things regarding the subjects.\n\nRegarding evidence, note that this can be considered in a threefold order. pertes or inter pes et potentiae et concina, potentia primus ordo est, puta quod potentia sit severum vel non severum, et homo quid accidat potentijs. Secundus ordo est inter potentia et actu, sensitiam sentire et potentiam intellectivam intelligere. Tercius ordo est inter actum potentiae et obmutescence, sentire sensibile vel intelligere intelligibile. In hoc triplice ordine, haec persunt tres petes secunda ibi. Si aute dicere tercia ibi, si aute sic.\n\nQuare ad hoc ordine phus in lra quod debet facere, scutatione de his, id est, de potentijs, prius accipere ratione differentiua quid unquod est eorum, et postea illa rona determina de his, id est, de actibus, connatus, per se potentias aut ecia per eandem differentiationem inuestigare de alijs, puta de organis et similibus. Ac si dicat phus hic dicit ordina in. Determining what I become in that which follows from my potency. From this it is clear that there is a order, and it is that order which proceeds from acts. That is, from potentialities and from actualities to the whole of the potential, and this is because acts which are prior to potentialities are the acts and operations which are prior to potentialities, and this is what the law says, that if it is possible to speak rationally about what is one thing, for example, what is sensory or vegetative, it is first necessary to know what it means to sense and to vegetate, and these acts and operations are prior to potentialities, since we define potentialities through acts.\n\nDetermining again, there is another order which should be spoken of more, which is the order of objects rather than acts, since notices of objects precede notices of acts. That is, if the opposites, that is, objects, are prior to these acts, it is necessary to determine the objects before the acts, on account of this. coming before these, determined about actions rather than potentialities, of Unum before determination about food rather than about the active potency of vegetative growth, and similarly about the sensitive rather than about the active sense and the intelligible rather than about the active intellect. To make this clear to someone. But if potentiality is ever subordinate to actuality. He sees that potentiality and act are divided into two kinds in this way, so that in this genus the act is potentiality in potentiality, and potentiality is in the genus of accidents. Furthermore, these three remain stable as beings in themselves and as accidents flowing from them, and it is impossible for them to pass from being in itself to flowing accidents unless the middle is still present. Therefore, the act is an accident, and essence is essence in itself. It is possible to become from potentiality to act only with the middle still present, but it becomes from potentiality to actuality only with the middle being potentiality. Therefore, potentiality is an accident. Furthermore, concerning the division. Regarding the fact that. aiai suas poteca is this division of fruit in color, odor, and taste, but the division of fruit in color, odor, and taste is a division subordinate in appearance and the like. On the contrary, the potency of matter is to matter as the potency is to the thing it immediately receives form, insofar as the potency is the intermediate cause by which the thing receives act and operation. But the potency of matter is what the intellect calls potency insofar as it is potential in matter.\n\nTo this question they replied that the potency is what is potential in matter. This can be understood in three ways. The first way is through the intensity of the act and form, for we see that acts and operations are proportionate to forms in such a way that the distinction of forms is a distinction of acts. In order to understand and will, they are vital acts through their very existence. Therefore, they do not proceed from a principle that is vital in existence. This is the case with every act, for it is immediately derived from existence. All that is immediate in act from which the act is derived. Potencia Ymagia begins, therefore, from the very reality that it derives its acts, both passive and active, from that reality. Either from the reality that it derives its passive acts, or from the reality that it derives its active acts. The second way proceeds from the root of intellectuality. To this, I note that it is founded on the very root that intellectuality itself is founded, which is immateriality. For something to be able to understand something, it must be pure and unconditioned by material conditions. The same root is the potentiality of the intellectually material. Therefore, it is not through itself that the material is intellectual or intellectual through something added to it, nor does it have the power of intellect through its own accord. It is impossible for potentiality intellectual to happen to itself in the same way that immateriality does not. If you ask why this is so, it is because if it is through its own essence or if something is added to it, then it can be understood or intellectually grasped, but a thing cannot be understood without that which happens to it, for it is impossible for something intellectual to be understood without potentiality in intellectual. Therefore, the second way proves this about potentiality. The third way is based on the difference that seems to exist between essence and potency. For the reason of essence is that it makes a thing exist. For the reason of potency is that it makes a thing potent. Essence looks to the subject, but potency looks to the object. For these reasons, what is seen is that what is sought is not impossible, for something can be both existent and potent through the same reality, such as heat. calidum et potest calefacere\u00b7 Ea\u2223dem eciam realitas respicit subie\u2223ctum et eciam obiectum. sicut ecia\u0304\neadem caliditas respicit subm\u0304 qd est calidu\u0304i et obm\u0304 qd est calefacti\u00a6bile.

Nor does it itself resist or flow more than the reason why the flowing substance is found in the substance remaining immediately than the substance of the air remaining. To the third point, it is said that the composer did not intend to say that the division of the apple and the division of the largest body of the wine are similar, in that the apple, as if it were a whole, contains many qualities, and as a whole, one must comprehend many potentialities, which it is possible to divide. Following, he wanted to show that some vessel could contain the same thing as many potentialities. He sees that no part of the substance and the potentiality is other than one substance and one potentiality. Furthermore, in the case of one substance, there is not another potentiality except one.\" ab una iquam tu quam vnum no esse unica essentia, nisi una potentia quae est idem illa essentia et non potuissent pluribus potentiae esse. Ad oppositum est, dcum phi in lra quod potentia potuit salvare in posteriori. Quod potentia potuit esse posterior et plura quam quodquid potuit vegetare et sensire et ex quo sequitur ut videtur, quod essentia sensitiva potentia sensit et vegetavit.\n\nAd hoc questioni dicendum est, quod neque impossibile est, quod una essentia habeat plures potentias, quae sint idem. Hoc manifestari potest, si duae veritates manifestentur.\n\nPrima veritas, quod quodquid forma elevior hoc ipsum potentia elevior et hoc quia potentia sequitur formam, ergo sensitiva elevior est quam vegetativa, posse sentire potest elevari, posse autem vegetare. Secunda veritas declarat, quod haec salva dividitur in. in inferiors all salute in superiors, and that which salutes in inferiors is in turn saluted in superiors by the one to whom it is inferior, in whatever way it is inferior in inferiors and superior in superiors. From these two truths it is asked: which is more potent in potencies, the potency in inferiors or the potency in superiors, in the way that the potency which is vegetative salutes in the sensory faculty and the sensory faculty and sensory faculty salute in the intellectual faculty? And it is said that the potency, as the inferior form, cannot do this unless it is one. The superior form, on the other hand, can do this the more and one elevated incident can produce more potentialities. And the imagination is imagined as the potency that, since it is the vicarious cause of many more beauties and nobilities through these, it is able to produce more potentialities. Imagining further, that in whatever way the inferior form is the cause, it is able to produce more powers. \"potuit ajceis semper potentia posterior simpler and immortalier than the preceding, and I opine that it produces more things than the preceding, and moreover it says what it will produce in a sublimior mode than the preceding, as we see that vegetation in a sublimior mode salts vegetation in the sense more than in a plant. In a plant it makes wood. But in the sense it makes flesh. To make flesh is a nobilior operation than to make wood, where there is a nobilior operation, there is a forma elevatior.\n\nTo the first argument it must be answered that it is not a proportion between whatever form and the more powers, but there is a proportion between a formed elevated and the more powers, because, as has been said, a lower power does not have more than one superior power, but the more powers are due to their elevation, and this pluralitas ratione noobuiat simplicitati rei. I suppose that the res\" sublimior tato (This is more in ronibus, that is, in a multitude. But to follow one man, one should not put one in a position where one is not one, but one. Say that which is verum (true) is verum. But one should not put one in a position where one is in a multitude, nor in a position where one is not one, but in a position where one can capture the multitude. Ios coesuit dicere (it was customary to say) that such a one is capable of containing all powers and all things, and so that every virtue confronts its reality. From this it follows that one does not act as a mere appearance, but rather as a whole, capable of acting in every particular or in any capacity, or of capturing many powers and many things. Therefore, its power holds in a measured way. Tercio quereret aliquis utrum (Tercius was asking whether) a certain power should be received from the distinction, or oborum (on the other hand), according to phusis (nature). He sees that one does not receive a thing from its distinction intrinsically, but rather from the oba (observer). no suffix are intrinsically passive, therefore and so on. Moreover, if he argued distinctly about the oboe, the distinction would not be between passive potencies but rather between active and passive ones. He said, therefore, that the flute and the answer are one. He could distinguish the pen if potency could distinguish between oboes. A single potency is not many oboes. Falsity is not between the eyes if the sight is one potency and two contrary ones. To the contrary, concerning this question, they say that we can argue the distinctions of potencies and operations through two ways: the former way is from habit and the latter from opposition. Potencies are rooted in the object and the former kind is such that a passive potency is moved by objects in the way we say that a sensitive potency is moved by the sensible and an intellectual potency is moved by the intelligible. A potency acts upon the object in the way we say that a heating potency heats us by drawing us from the potency to the act and a generating potency generates us by drawing us from potency to act. actu\u0304- From this, or that which could passively be moved by objects, is moved and follows what it encounters, because it itself moves in such a way. A god or motion argues divinity in operation and in the power's reception, through the motion that follows because divinity follows in the moving powers. It argues the divinity of the moving powers. If the same power actively moves the other, it is the limit and motion of the power that does not allow the power to be durable, and the active power is the limit and motion of the calefactive power, because the calefactive powers are the limits and ends of active powers, not the passive ones. Therefore, the calefactive power moves us to lead us from the power to action, and this moves the generating power to lead us from potentiality to act. If it follows that the divinity of the moving powers argues the divinity of the active ones. Divinity is the limit of divinity for those things that are ends, but, as is customary, they are the limits and ends of the active powers, not the passive ones. Therefore, if this is so, the divinity of the moving powers argues the divinity of the active ones. Divinity is the limit of divinity for those things that are ends, but they are the limits and ends of the active powers, not the passive ones. \"Perhaps potencies or powers reach their end, and therefore, the potencies, whether passive or active, follow the divine nature that argues for the divine nature of potencies, whether passive or active. Therefore, the second way receives evidence from this, since the relation of one to the other is in the one and this relation in the other. In another respect, the relation of one to oblivion and this relation of one to the other is also signified. For relations are not related to one another. Regarding the matter, it is true that one relation is known through another and therefore we can derive a distinction between potencies, and especially since the distinction is intrinsic, it is said to be a distinction through something intrinsic, not easily argued through extrinsic distinctions.\" This text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of perception and the distinction between form and matter. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"hoc mutuo dependent et hoc modicum est, quod diuas mobilitas arguit diuinitas motionem et mobilia, et diuinitas sinus arguit diuinitas eorum quae ad finem sunt. Ad secundum quod, quod diuinitas oborum arguit diuinitas, potentiae passivae intelligit de obiectis formalibus, ita quod obiectum inquam obiectum diuersificat. Illud autem quod materialiter se ad rationem obiectiua non diversificat. Videmus enim idem in hac potentia esse videre hominem coloratum et lapidem coloratum, quod tamen non esset si lapis et homo essent obiecta formalia. Eodem modo in hac potentia est videre album et nigrum, et hoc quia album et nigrum non sunt obiecta, sed color et lux. Imaginemur ergo, quod quaelibet potentia respectat una ratione formalis in obiecto. Sicut visus respectat ratione lucis vel coloris, quae quidem ratio obiectiua in multis reperiri.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"This is a mutual and limited matter, that the divine mobility argues for the divine nature of motion and movable things, and the divine nature of the things that lead to an end. Regarding the second point, that the divine nature argues for the divine nature, the passive powers understand the formal objects, in such a way that the object, which I call the object, distinguishes the object. But that which materialistically adheres to the reason of the objective does not distinguish it. We see, indeed, that the same power is to see a colored man and a colored stone, which, however, would not be if stone and man were formal objects. In the same way, in this power, it is to see white and black, and this is because white and black are not objects, but color and light. Let us imagine, therefore, that each power respects a formal reason in the object. Just as sight respects the reason of light or color, which, indeed, the objective reason is found in many things.\" The text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the determination of various potentialities or powers. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Quia primo de alimento, postquam dixit physis de ordine potenciarum ad invicem. Postquam etiam dixit quomodo determinandum est de ipsis potencis. In hoc parte incipit determinare de unaquaque potencie et dividitur haec pars in duas partes. Primo determinat de singulis partibus vel potencis hoc est. Secundo assignat causam convenienciae et ordinis qui in potencias incidunt. Vegetabile igitur. Prima poma in quatuor pertes determinat de vegetativo. Secundo de sensitivo ibi. Determinatis autem his. Tertio de intellectivo ibi de perte aut aie. Quarto de motivo ibi. Quam autem aima habet duas circa finem tertii determinatum de appetivo et hoc quia appetitus imperat motu.\"\n\nThis text discusses the determination of various potentialities or powers. It begins by referring to food and the order of potentialities. It then explains how to determine these potentialities and divides this part into two. The first part determines the nature of each potentiality. The second part assigns the reason for their conjunction and order. The text then discusses the vegetative power, which is determined in the first part. The second part discusses the sensitive power. The third part discusses the intellectual power. The fourth part discusses the motive power. The text also mentions that the soul has two powers determined in relation to the third, and that the appetitive power commands motion. ergo perte determines this of vegetative and divides it into three parts, placing here the intention. Secondly, it reveals what is necessary for the cognition of the vegetative there, for it is most natural there. Thirdly, it declares how to determine the vegetative power there. But it does not belong to that power itself. The intention itself is about two parts: one is that willing to determine the powers, another is about the primary power. The power itself and the powers of the vegetative and the other is about the vegetative power willing it, and the power itself is about nourishment and generation. Therefore, the power itself is more about the object and the act than about the powers, that is, it continues thus: Ita dictu is that it will say more about the object and act than about the powers. Therefore, the power itself is more about nourishment, which is the obmota vegetative power and generation, which is the actus, than about the vegetative power itself of which it speaks more than about others potentialities. The power itself is the vegetative power. In all things that have life, there is a respect for other things, maxima among them being consciousness. It separates itself from others and among others it is the one thing that has the power to live, generate, and nourish. Therefore, it begins to manifest naturally what is necessary for its purpose and is divided into two parts, which manifest this. For the former, it manifests that to generate is in itself a vegetative operation, since it has vegetative functions over there. But it is also the case that the agent is alive. Around the first point, it is put forward with this reasoning. Every operation that naturally occurs in living beings is in itself vegetative, but to generate is an operation that is naturally in living beings, therefore it pertains to itself or to its vegetative power. Recognizing this reasoning, the vegetative power is the most communal as it is the one operation that is in living beings, just as it is to generate. potentia vegetativa, which has the ability to generate and naturally instill in living beings this potency does two things. First, it asserts that the ability to generate naturally exists in living beings. Second, it explains that this ability is not excluded from the most natural of living beings, such as plants, in generating and communally nourishing living beings. However, three exceptions are made: imperfect ones, which are not fully generated or generated like children; those which endure defects and are cold and shriveled; and those which are generated spontaneously from putrefaction. This spontaneous generation is also called spontaneous generation, sufficient for the generation of all things in the universal body of the celestial corpus and disposed matter in other beings. The following text describes the concept of spontaneous generation, a belief that living organisms could arise from non-living matter or other organisms without the involvement of reproduction. The text emphasizes that this type of generation does not require an external agent's virtue and occurs naturally in both generative and corruptible substances. It also explains that this process allows species to continue and perpetuate, as living beings produce offspring similar to themselves.\n\nHere's the cleaned text:\n\n\"The same generation produces another like itself, which they call spontaneous generation. This generation, which arises from the earth or seed, does not require anything but utility. It is essential to note that continuity of species and its conservation in generative and corruptible things is through generation. Moreover, it is necessary for one another that the species comes to the living, i.e., it produces offspring similar to itself among living beings, and this is how species perpetuates, as living beings are not imperfect or defective like spontaneous generation.\n\nFurthermore, it is clear that:\n\nThis generation is given to living beings and, first, why this is so. Second, it explains what the 'Id' mentioned there means, 'Id' saying that a careful one is made.\n\" This text appears to be written in an ancient or archaic form of Latin. I will attempt to translate and clean it up as faithfully as possible to the original content.\n\nThe text reads: \"Hoc is res appetit perpetuari in suo esse. Perpetuari aut inesse intelligitur a nobis modis unum, quod una et eadem res perpetuet et hoc est perpetuitas in rebus incommodis et incorruptibus. Secundo, contingit aliquid perpetuari non quod perpetuet unum novum, sed quod perpetuatur in specie, ita quod non perpetuat res in se, sed in suo simili, et hoc est perpetuitas in rebus generabilius et corruptibilibus. Haec autem perpetuitas est generatione. Mediate generationem res quae non perpetuat se, perpetuat se suo simili. Et hoc divina et immortalia participant, quia data est vita vientibus. Ratio huius est, tenus ipsum viventia corruptibilia participent ipsum semper. Ite participent ea divina et immortalia quod pater. Quod autem minus poterunt perpetuari, hoc ad minus perpetuabitur.\"\n\nTranslation: \"This is what things desire to be perpetuated in their own being. Perpetuation is understood to be one thing, that one and the same thing perpetuates and this is perpetuity in things that are difficult and incorruptible. Secondly, something can be perpetuated not because it perpetuates a new thing, but because it is perpetuated in its kind, so that it does not perpetuate the thing itself, but its likeness, and this is perpetuity in things that are generated and corruptible. However, this perpetuity is through generation. Mediately, things that do not perpetuate themselves perpetuate themselves through their likeness. And this is what the divine and immortal participate in, because life is given to living things. The reason for this is that corruptible things participate in it as long as they live. Therefore, the divine and immortal participate in it as their father. What is less able to be perpetuated, this will be perpetuated to a lesser degree.\" nuo perpetuatur spe. hoc est, non perpetuatur iste appetitus illud, quod divinum est, neque quicquid agit naturam illius divini. Deinde, id aut quisquis fit, manifestat quod finis est in duobus modis. Primum, finis cuiusquis fit, quod fit. Secundum, finis quo est, quod fit, et sic finis cuiusque et quod esse aut perpetuum. Dicit finis cuiusquis fit, quod fit: non ipsum corruptibilia concipiam semper. Ipsa semper permanet et ideo communicat hoc, quod participat in numero animarium corruptibilium. This text states that the desire for something that is divine and the nature of that which is divine do not change. Whatever arises has a twofold end: the end of that which arises is its own being, and the end of that which is, is its own becoming. The text asserts that the end of any given thing is its own being and becoming, and that the corruptible cannot conceive of the divine as something that is perpetual. Rather, the divine remains constant and immutable, and thus communicates this quality to all corruptible beings that participate in its number. permanet magis idem diurnius. Iteum minus diuturne. Permanet autem semper nec in se sed in suo simili. Queret aliquis, utrum finis dicat duobus modis, cuius & quo. Dicendum est quod sic. Ad cuius euideciam notandum est quod forma est id quod res est id quod ea habet esse. Forma etiam est finis generationis, quare presentibus habitis et formis cessat generatio. Forma ergo ita est finis, quia nihil omnino quod est finis est forma. Imaginabimur ergo sic, quod esse perpetuum est illud cuius ca fit ipsum generatio, quod enim natura non consequitur id unum et eodem in dividua perpetuitate, neque tamen id quod est ipsum generatum et hoc est quod voluit dicere, phus in lra quam dixit, quod finis est duobus modis, cuius et quo. Secundo quaeret aliquis, utrum sit:\n\n(Translation: Permanent longer, diurnius. But less, minus diuturne. It remains forever, not in itself but in its likeness. One may ask, in what two ways does the end present itself, to whom and where? It must be said that it is thus. To the one to whom this is addressed, it is necessary to note that form is what a thing is, and what it has to be. Form is also the end of generation, for present beings and forms cease to be generated. Therefore, form is the end, because nothing that is an end is form. Let us imagine, then, that what is perpetual is the very thing that generates it, for nature does not follow one and the same thing in its divided perpetuity, nor is it the same thing that generates and that which is generated. To whom and where the end presents itself in two ways, one may ask whether it is:) \"All things desire, according to them, to be perpetual. It is said that this is so. In one and the same thing, we see that there are various degrees of perfection, for one and the same thing exists in potentiality and in actuality. One thing is in potentiality, another is in a more perfect degree of actuality. In many entities, there are various degrees, which are mixed with a private and potential nature, and these are corruptible. Others, which are in a more perfect degree, are incorruptible because of their proximity to the pure actual entity. In one and the same thing, potentiality desires actuality, and what is in a less perfect degree aspires to be assimilated to the more perfect. The nature of the potentiality is not idle.\" Imaginate therefore, that corruptible things strive to assimilate in the corruptible, and this appetite does not follow in number, but only when they can see in form. Then it is said. But the soul indeed protests against this, that the living thing is called soul because it has the power of vegetation and reason, and vegetation is the soul because it is in living things. In lesser creatures it was said that this was what the soul is, that is, for one that has the power to generate and nourish. But the greater power declares here that living is declared by this nature to be threefold cause. And furthermore, how does this happen? Secondly, it excludes errors there. Empedocles indeed puts forward two things, that he intends that nature is in threefold cause. Secondly, he reveals his intention there, that therefore what is it, so to speak, to us. But what then is it to us, to the muscle? \"Aia est penetrative and alive, and Aia is the principle and one is the mover, and thus it effects the moved bodies. This Aia is that which is fluid, and it is like the sublunary, that is, Aia is the formal and substantial cause of the corporeal. Therefore, Quod quid est, manifests its intent and proves three things. First, that Aia is formal. Second, that it is final there. Manifestum est at. Third, that it is effective there. But one more thing. The first argue that it introduces two reasons for this. The second, Amplius at, puts forward the reason that it is such a thing from the one who is the source and end of it. Not from Aia itself, but from the living. Vivere at est ea.\" \"This is the form and substance of the living. It is therefore what is manifestly the case that the living is like the sublunary. The sublunary is the form of the sublunary world and that which is in the entities of the sublunary world. The living is that which is in the living beings. Therefore, it is necessary for the living to give life to them. What it is for the living to be is not clear. Then comes the question. Amplius puts forward a second argument that this, that the ratio and act of the living are a form. But the living is both ratio and act in potentiality. For as the body is in potentiality to the living organism in actuality, so the living is the form and principle that brings it about that something is living. Someone may ask what it means that the living is that which gives life. He sees that it is not the living itself. For if the living is that which gives life, it follows that the subject of life is an ens living. Furthermore, the living is not otherwise than posited. The living is in itself and is present in the living beings. Therefore, it sees that the living is not it.\n\nOn the contrary, it is Phi that says that the living is not in act in the bodies of living organisms.\n\nTo this question it must be answered that the living is both the living and the subject of the living, but not in the same way.\" Actus secundus supposit actu primus in viventibus. Actus primus est duobus modis: actus per hoc tempus, quemmodo dicimus quod esse actus est actus primus; alio modo actus primus dictus est exentia et hoc dicimus quod esse cuiuslibet rei est actus primus. Actus secundus qui est agere supponit actu primum. Agere non supponit nisi exentia. Ergo sentire, intelligere, et velle, non sunt omnia entia. Supponitur esse et exentia speciale, id est exentia viventium. Exentia aut viventia non potest esse nisi vitalis, ideo viventia vocatur esse viventium. Imaginabimus primo, quod sicut a forma est esse, ita a speciali forma est species. Ergo aia sit. specialis forma est speciale ab ea.

Quidquid supponitur esse, quod est vivum, quin intelligere et voluere non sunt nisi rei extis exceptionibus vitalibus. Secundum dicuntur actus vitales, quia egrediuntur a forma cuius est dare exceptionem vitalem.

It is clear that this is so, since living beings have form and life from themselves and their own essence is life or is it? But living is a form from things. Efficiently, it is from a creator.\n\nRegarding the argument that living beings are distinguished essentially from non-living beings by life and form, it is clear that this is so. This is manifest in the fact that living beings have form and life from themselves and their own essence is life. This would not be the case if it were not necessary. But living is a form from things. Efficiently, it is from a creator.\n\nTherefore, to summarize, it is manifest that living beings are the final cause for which nature acts and that is why they come to be. Just as the practical intellect acts on this in mechanics, it acts on these things. For this text, I will make the following changes:\n\n1.

It states that nature operates for various ends in both living beings (animals and plants) and that the intention of nature is based on two fundamental principles: first, that nature acts for an end, and second, that nature acts more effectively and determinedly for ends in living beings than in inanimate objects. alijs inferioribus: Deinde quod duplicitas atra ondit quod aiia ea finis dicis quod duplicitas finis.

Sentire is not the alteratio which doesn't exist unless in hn\u0304tibus ai\u0304am or nothing. ai\u0304a is the motus that causes augmenti and decrementi. It's notable that the physis wants to be understood as that which ai\u0304a is, a threefold motion: local motion, alteracaois motion, and the motion that is augmentum and decrementum.\n\nAmpedocles or Superos, in the quote where ai\u0304a is said to be in the triplici genere cause, and that which proceeds from potencia vegetativa are from ai\u0304a because it is the source of augmentum in these things. He refutes the physis mentioned here because of those who have erred around this matter and makes two errors which he refutes. The second one is there. You provided a text written in ancient Latin with some errors. Here's the cleaned version:\n\n\"You see some of them. The first two are pairs. A quarter puts in an error the second. Neither is this one above completely, [regarding] clarification. There are two forms. One is the living form, like the form of the element, and from this form comes the motion upward and downward, which is not the living motion. From this form is the peduncle increased. Therefore, increase is in living beings when they are weighed down below, like lead in plates, and here the motion is increased upward as lead in plant roots and this is through nature, the fire that remains virtually in the mixture. Another is the living form, and from this comes both increase and decrease in living beings, not from the form of the element, as Empedocles erroneously said, who recounted nature in letters, saying that Empedocles did not say correctly that the increase of plants comes from the form of the element. He said that when plants send down roots, they are increased below.\" ex motu terre cui{us} e\u0304 sm natura\u0304 ferri deorsum. augent ecia\u0304 in sursum & hoc {pro}pter ignem cui{us} est naturaliter ferri sursum. \u00b6Dein\u0304 cu\u0304 dt.

Up and down it is not, that is, it is the same in the living beings and in all, that is, in the one in which it is up and down and down in the mode opposed and stable, but in the bodies it is opposed and stable in the roots of the aita. In all living things we say that the head is upwards towards the body, as the head is upwards towards the animal, so are the roots downwards towards the plant. Since the head is similar in animals and the root in plants, because, just as the limbs take food in their mouths which is in the head, so plants take food through their roots. The instruments or things known to be diverse or the same are understood from the works of the root and the root from the head. It should be noted that this dr\u0304e\" position is upward and downward and backward. In those in which things are distinguished by nature. In some, however, the principles that are natural to certain things and in them position is distinguished as follows: this we call that in the upward and downward motion is natural for them. We call this that in the heavens is natural to be upward and downward, as that which is called \"upward\" in living beings receives nourishment from below or speaks or emits superfluities. In some animals, such as man, upward and downward terminates as in a fish, or superior and inferior, i.e. the head is upward in a fish. In flat things, however, it is covered. But before and after has a meaning in animals. On the right and left, however, it has a local motion.

We see that heat is not in food in the form of any particular fire, but in the form of the vital principle of the body, acting through the power of another. The motion of food and nourishment should be attributed to the vital and formal principle, not the material one.\n\nTo this argument, I would add that the motion of food to the members is natural, not because it is natural in itself, but because it is from the user. This is evident in that food is drawn to the members. This is not a violent but a natural drawing. A natural drawing, which draws something to itself and generates something in the drawing that generates the mover itself to draw, makes us move towards the magnet, and the vital principle generated in the iron makes us move towards the magnet, and the vital principle generated in the food makes us move towards the member as if towards its own place and complement.\n\nTo the second argument, p\u017e Elements do not remain in living beings unless they are material. Virtue is always like a principal user, and if elements do not remain in virtue, they are only in virtue. It seems that some put in error and divide in two parts, placing the first in one position and the second there opposing it. Therefore, he puts it in the position saying that only fire is among the elements as the food and nourishment for both. The reason for this is that only fire nourishes and grows among the elements, and no one can reasonably say that fire is nourished and grows as much in the plains as in the heavens. Therefore, it follows that only fire nourishes and grows as the cause of nourishment and growth in living beings. It is said that all things in any kind that are in that sphere are like fire in that fire is hot in the same way that they are hot. Based on this assumption. poterauit isti arguere. Ignis inter corpora pomo nutritur et pomo augmentat, videmus quod ignis per natura suam educit humidum de calefactis, quo quidem humidum convalescit et sustentat, et quasi nutritur. Videmus ecquod ignis accipit incrementum suae quantitatis per oppositionem cremabilis ergo ignis est ca nutritione et augmente in alis. Deinde cum dicit. hoc autem concausa. Improbat istam positionem. Ad evidenciam notandum est quod utus ignis concurrit ad nutrimentum et augmentum sicut concausa. Quare principalis causa augmentationis est virtus animi. Duo ergo facit quare pomo non ondit quod ignis concurrit sic concausa. Secundo non ondit quod non est principaliter ibi. Nihil tamen simpliciter Quatuor ergo ad pomum dat quod hoc scimus ignis quodamodo est concausa nutritione et augmento. Notandum est quod nutrimentum non fit nec est augmentum nisi per alterationem cibi. Nutribile emim dt cometator nutribile non alterat cibum nisi per partem igneam que est in eo oportere. ergo, because fire contributes to nourishment and growth. And therefore, the commentator states that, in regard to other elements, fire rules in living bodies. He then says, \"Non tamen simpliciter\" (not simply), denying that fire is the principal agent but rather the virtue of aether and pneuma (air) is. This is the principal cause of action from which it imposes a form or end in things. But the ratio and end in living things are not from fire but from aether. Therefore, aether is the principal cause of this, that is, because the words \"quod dt lr\u0304a\" (that fire is not simply the cause of growth but more aether) \"ignis non est simpliciter ca\u0304 augme\u0304ti sed maiores ai\u0304a\" (augmentation of fire is in the infinite). Fire augments whatever is combustible, and it is not the end or limit of the augmentation but rather the aether's third quality is the limit. Omnis (every) natura constans aliquis terminus est et iis (them) opus est quod i\u0304 eis sit aliqua ratio determinata magnitudinis & determinati augmenti, hoc aut inest ae\u0304re. i.e. ae\u0304ter est ratio de terminis & augmentationibus & magnitudinibus in rebus. aiatis et non ignis imponere em terminum augmento magis est ronis, quam materia. Notandum est quod scut culibus speciei debent propria accidentia ita propria quantitas quae propria statuat in maximo et minimo. Est em dare ita magua quantitate ultra quam potes salvare species humanas et ita peruas infera quam potes saluari eadem spe. Advertendum est quod ista quantitas que species determinat latitudine et diversitate indivisorum et materie. Nos enim omnes humani funt unae quantitatis. Quin ergo quantitas debita speciei hoc statuit phus, quod constans est terminus. Notandum est secundum quod commentatoris sui modo imaginatur, in augmento vivencium sicut imaginamus in mollificando ferri quod facit artifex ad faciendum aliqoud instrumentum, puta serram vel huiusmodi. Artifex emolumentat ferrum mediante igne. Mollificare ergo attributit igni. Sed quod illa mollicatio terminetur ad determinatam formam vel. This text appears to be written in an old Latin script. I will translate it into modern English while maintaining the original content as faithfully as possible.\n\nFigure this out: how to determine the action of fire so that it reaches a specific effect. In the same way, the action of augmentation seems to be placed before the action of fire and with a different intention in the fire. The fire, on the other hand, is not the one that imposes a limit to the thing, but rather the soul. Fire increases infinitely by itself and therefore imposes no limit to the thing. But the soul imposes a limit and is therefore called the ruler. What the soul is is the reason for magnitude and augmentation.\n\nSince the power [of growth] arises from the same source as the nature [of growth] determines this power in two ways. First, it determines the object of the power of growth. Second, it determines the power itself there. If it is not nourished by anything, it is divided into two. First, it sets its intention. Second, it begins to determine the food there. It sees the food.\n\nIt is evident in the first place that the power of growth is ordered to the conservation of individuals and this is done through food. It conserves the individual from that. \"This restores the deprived through alimentary means. Vegetation, which is ordered for the conservation of individuals, is also ordered for the conservation of the species, which is generated through vegetation. It conserves and generates the generative power of the medium, which is the seed, even if it is superfluous food from which the alimentary substance is obtained, rather than generated naturally. And it is first necessary to speak of vegetation before speaking of alimentary matter. This is because the power that is both vegetative and generative is one. Vegetation nourishes and generates individuals through nourishment, and generates species through generation. And for this reason, it is more necessary to speak of alimentary matter than of this power, since the vegetative power is also nourishing and generative. Vegetation nourishes individuals through nourishment and generates species through generation. Therefore, this power is called nutrition, which is separated from other powers such as sensitive and intellectual.\"\n\n\"Dein says, 'One sees the food.' He begins to determine what food is, and puts forth what it is that we encounter as food.\" alimente. Secundo ponit quod occurrit de alimento: quod alimentum videt contrarium ei, quod alit cuius roest contra alimentum et sic videt quod generatioes aut funt ex contrariis. Licet aut alimento contrarium sit, non omnia contraria ad ipsum adinveniunt, sed quod contra ea concurrant ad alimentum non solum solvent generationem adversam, sed augmentant ipsum ita, ut suscipiant augmentum ex senuice. Funta multa contraria ex senuice non sunt. Dicimus quod sanum fit ex infirmo. Numquam sanum augminatur vel nutritur ex infirmo. Licet quodcumque alimentum sit contrarium ei, quod alitur, numquam hec contraria eodem modo se adinveniunt, ita ut unum alat reliquum et conversum. Et hoc patet ex dictis antiquorum, qui posuerunt corpora simplicia utuntur: aqua est nutrimentum ignis, non igitur ignis nutrit aquam, quia in. The body is one thing when it is nourished, such as water, and another when it is nourished like fire. Someone might ask, \"Is fire nourished like they used to say?\" To answer this question, two things must be considered. The first is that fire does not primarily nourish itself. The reason for this is that it does not receive liquid into itself for its own preservation. This does not happen in fire, for it is not consumed by the fire itself but rather the fire is extinguished through the generation of form in other matter. When any combustible matter is burned in combustible matter, a new fire is generated. And for this reason, here there is generation but not nourishment. For the combustible matter in which the new fire is kindled does not enter into the preservation of the previous fire. In the second place, what must be considered is that it shines. ignis proprie nutriat. Similitude qua derivavit antiqui de igne et aqua vos manuducere ad corpora simplia ad corpora mixta satis fuit ad opposita. Cuius ratio est quod in rona eius quod alit est, quod impassibili forma et spei fuit in nutrimento. De racoe aut nutrimenti est quod recipiat illa forma nichil aut adeo pressum est sue forme, sic calidum et secum et id quod est ipsum impresio forme eius quod alit, id ipsum attribuebant igni qui est calidus et secus. Nihil ecce est adeo recipiens formam sicut humidum et quod nutrimentum recipit forma eius quod alit, ideo dicebant quod humidum ut aqua esset nutrimentum illius quod impresseret spez in ipso. Sicut autem in corpora simplia, ita suo modo est in corpora mixta viventia. Id enim quod alit est hoc virtute per quam forma corporis quod alitur figillat in eo quod alit et id ingreditur instrumento quod est calor naturae mediate, quo possit hauc forma et spei impregnare. nutriment is a humid substance that nourishes the acting human. Although it may possibly have another quality. But then, in doubt, I ask about this question and what moves it. The second one solved it there. Whether it is Mouet or not, I am in doubt, and argue that, according to the ancient texts, it is uncertain. They themselves, the ancients, say that nourishment is similar to it in that it nourishes. Or it nourishes and grows similar, and the food increases if it adds something different to it, not nourishing or increasing itself. Some ancients, however, saw that nourishment was contrary to it in that it nourishes. Or it is impossible that nourishment is similar to it in that it nourishes, but it is not necessarily contrary. The reason for this was twofold. The first reason is this: all nourishments cook and change into that which nourishes. But all changes are from the opposite or contrary, or from the middle, such as black turning into white, fig, or from pale to medium, depending on the medium being contrary. ergo alimentum est contrarium ei quod alimentat. Secunda ratio eorum talis est. Ages et pacies contraria sed alimentum patit ab eo quod alimentat et non eo quod alimentur. Quod aut id quod alimentat non patit ab alimentum sed eoversus patitur illud quod alimentur. Artifex aut instructor non patit a materia. Sed materia patit ab artifice. Illud emensum patit quod mutat et accipit formam. Talia est materia et non artifex. Artifex enim non mutat in agedo nisi forte forte ex ocio in actu. Eodem modo quo alium maximum decocitur et decoctum accipit formam alterius. Notandum est quod medium inter contraria est quodam modo contrarium. Pallidum enim albo est nigrum. Comparatum aut nigrum et album. Et quia ita est, ipsum phus in lara dixit quasi mutatum vel contrarium vel in mediis datum est intelligere quod medium est aliquo modo alterius contrarium. Notandum est secundum quod duplex est actus scire actus. habitus qui dramatis personae agit et agit secundum actum, et sic est duplex actus: ita est duplex mutatio, quae est quodemodum mutatio, quae est ad actum primum aut ad formam, et de talia mutatione loquar. Phusis in materia mutatur, sed non artifex. Materia accipit formam et hoc utile artificis est, quod loquendo de talia mutatione, phusis in alimento mutat et non id quod alimentat accipit formam illius quod alimentat, nec e converso. Alia est mutatio, que est de actu primo ad actum secundum, et loquendo de talia mutatione, phusis in materia mutat, quod artifex mutat aut mutat de otio in actum. Si quisque quaeret. Virtus quae alit et nutrit, puta utens vegetativa, ista mutet ab ocio in actum. Forte possum dicere, quod non. Quis est cuius ratio? Qui virtus vegetativa, ut potius assimilat vigiliam quam somnus, et hoc quod videtur semper esse in actu secundum. Semper nutrit, quod semper agit aliquid circa alimentum. Aut. The text appears to be in Latin and does not contain any meaningless or unreadable content. It is a passage discussing the consideration of food as raw or cooked in relation to digestion. The text states that food can be considered as raw or cooked according to two modes: one in which it is not cooked and contrary to what is eaten, and the other in which it is cooked and assimilated to what is eaten. The text also asks whether the food is considered as raw or cooked based on what comes last, after cooking and digestion, or before. It concludes that the mode of consideration depends on the nature of the food and the eater.\n\nCleaned Text:\ndissoluendo. ante alterando. aut attrahendo\u00b7 aut veniendo membris & finos semper querat aliamentum ab extrinseco \u00b6Deinde cum dicit.

Coctum autem est assimilatum pz quod continet ali et contrarium et simile qr alimentetur. The text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it discusses the digestive process. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"Contrary to some, the modes of the stomach and other parts are similar. Each ancient opinionated one spoke of a correct and incorrect mode for the stomach and an incorrect mode for the intestines. Note that there are three digestions for that which some call in the mouth. The first digestion is in the stomach, where it separates the gross from the subtle. The second digestion is in the liver, where it draws the juice of the food and takes on a red color of blood and directs it to the veins and to the extremities, which receive the third digestion. This third digestion changes some into a similar consistency to the limbs, as wine becomes similar to the alimentary tract. And the alimentary tract requires many digestions and alterations, because at the beginning it was dissimilar. Just as physical things remove dissimilarities through intermediate alterations and digestions, in the end they become similar. Then, the physical thing called Qm does not nourish unless it is chewed. It determines its potency and vegetative power, and it absorbs what the alimentary tract provides, the second absorbs what the alimentary tract strongly resists.\" potency vegetative is there, another third of these concludes its definition as potency vegetative is there. Why is this potency called that? Therefore, it is said that it relates to nourishment. This is proven by the fact that it is in potency to what nourishes, and what nourishes is the body that is nourished. Therefore, nourishment is in potency to the body that is nourished both in and of itself and through accidents. This is therefore what it means to be nourishing. Nothing nourishes except what has life and a corporeal body that is nourished. Therefore, nourishment in the potency of the body that is nourished is not the same as nourishment in the potency of the body in and of itself and through accidents.\n\nThen, concerning the second. There is an osseous layer that separates the vegetative from the other two nutritive parts, which are growth and generation. He separates these two into two parts, as he declares how the nourishing potency relates to growth and generation. In the second place, it is said that it relates to generation. Factiuu generatis quadquatuor ad pmun notandum quod quod some food quod aliis et obmut nutritive & augmentative. Sed tranquillus.

Secunda dr\\_a est extero instructa tam en nutritiva quam augmentativa indiget calore naturali. Sed tamen augmentativa indiget forciori calore. Hoc autem Augmentatio proprie fit in logitudo.

Augmentatio etiam no\\_ fit nisi per humidum, quod si sit flexibile et iunxi non fit augmentum nisi in iuventute antequam adveniat nimia siccitas que prohibet flexibilitatem et extensio. Hoc autem non potest fieri sine fortis colore.

Finis autem nutritio est salvare induidua per. restoratione deperditi. This is necessary for all living creatures during their entire existence, as Phus states in the book of nature. An animal remains alive as long as it is nourished. Then Phus says that generation or production is a fact. It declares that nourishment is an instrument of generation, while another is the principle of generation. Nourishment is what is generated when it is nourished, and what is being nourished is not yet what is being generated. If nourishment generates anything itself, it would both be and not be. It would only be when it generates, and it is nothing before being generated. If it generates anything else, it would save itself.\n\nIt is to be noted that generation comes from an abundance of nourishment. An abundance of nourishment is:\n\nQuererzum, utrum alimentum sit obmutescere potest, dicendum est, quod sic.\n\nAd cuius evidentia notandum est, quod generatio est de superfluo alimenti. Superfluum enim. The third stage of digestion is the material for generation, or that which is superfluid in an individual can be necessary for the species. Let us imagine that the nourishment distributes to the members, so that in the body where there is an excess of nourishment, this is diverted to the genitalia, and this is done in the following way for generation. A sign is that much and superfluous food increases the material for generation and stimulates generation. Another sign is that where there is more superfluid nourishment, more seed is found. And for this reason, in boys there is no seed where superfluid nourishment is converted in increase. For this reason, also, women have few seeds and few generations, where superfluid nourishment is converted into obesity. Therefore, large animals, which have a small proportion of seed to body, and are few in generation, require it. multo nutrimento et ideo parum est in eis de superfluo alimenti, ut patet in elephante terciu siguv est, quod semen cuius delectatio emissione natura alleluiat. Hoc autem totum declarat quod est de superfluo alimentation. Quia natura in omissione superflui et delectatur et alleluatur.\n\nEx his enim patet quod semen non est aliiquid dissolutum a membris, sed nullum eodem habet locum determinatum in corpore, vas seminali. Praeterea id quod in corpore determinatum in vas seminali persistit, praetera id quod in corporibus aitur non seperat vel decidit nisi cum dolore. Semen autem hoc auem cum delectatione emittit. Praeterea videmus nris oculis semina plantarum nec lignum ea nec radicem nec folia. Videmus ea semina aliuv non esse os nec carne sed humore album.\n\nDeinde quare huius aie. Concludit definitione potestatis vegetationis et duo facit quod pmo ex his concludit definitionem. \"potency is nourishing. Secondly, it concludes the definition of potency as vegetative in this way: at the very beginning, it divides the definition of potency into two parts. Secondly, it manifests that there are three things to be noted. Primarily, what is to be noted is that from the words \"pot and hri,\" that which generates salvation is potency. Nourishing, on the other hand, is that which, in this potency, moderately nourishes and saves its subject. Therefore, the definition of potency as nourishing concludes that this principle is the principle of nutrition itself, which is nothing other than the potency that has the power to save and receive what it receives in a human way. Alimentum, however, is that which prepares the operation of this nourishing potency, so that alimentum is the principle of that which is the principal subject of nutrition. He also said that there is a principle, and he manifested what he said. He said that alimentum is the principle because it prepares the operation of the nourishing potency, from which it follows that alimentum is the principal subject of nutrition. He also said that there is an aether.\" Among these two practices, the first relates to what nourishes the body that nourishes itself, and Alias is the one that does this. But what nourishes the body that nourishes others is the physical and nourishing principle, and what is nourished materially is the food and the intermediate potentiality of nourishment and the nourisher is seen to act as a nourisher.\n\nTherefore, Quod defines the second, which is the end. It defines the vegetable substance and what this does, namely, that the vegetative soul in nourishing these two instruments is present. The one that nourishes is that which Alias is.\n\nTo make it clear, it should be noted that the intention of this foundation is based on two foundations. The first foundation is that it is just to define and determine the end. The reason for this foundation is that the end is the goal and the perfection of the thing lies in the end. The second foundation is that among the vegetative powers, the generative power is the final one and can be known and defined from the vegetative substance when it is viewed in these foundations. \"It is just to call a thing by its name until the end. The end is that which naturally generates another of a similar kind, as it itself does. From this it follows that a thing which is vegetative can be defined as generating another of a similar kind, as physis is.\n\nOne may ask whether there is anything vegetative that has the potential to be final among the potentialities of the vegetative, as physis has.\n\nIt is to be said that this can be declared in two ways. The first way will be through the natural order, which is among the three principles of the vegetative. To this evidence it is necessary to consider that the power of growth is nourishing and provides nourishment to itself as it grows. This is called the nourishing power. It separates from the nourisher when it is in excess and drives it out to the members so that it may receive the formative power there. The augmenting power, on the other hand, serves the generating power. The augmenting power becomes subject to the one in quantity and form so that it can perfectly fulfill its function.\" \"Although the nourishing and increasing power that serves generatively should ultimately reach its final potential, which instructs others to participate in the divine, it is evident that the divine power, which is perceived as most perfect and final, is the one that endures perpetually. If, however, the power that orders the sequence of this is the final and perfect power, then such a power is the generating power and the generating power declares its perfection through Tuccia or Quicke, who can recognize it as such. Secondly, if someone were to ask about the power of the vegetative, it divides into three uses: nourishing, increasing, and generating. However, generating power can be subdivided. It is said that this is so. The generating power that is in the generator is called the vegetative power in another sense, in the generator. \" semine quod formatiua quod operari per calore seminis. Hic aut calor triplici utile est informatus una utute ex hoc quod est calor et ista est utus dissolutiva et subtilis seminis. Hec enim agit hoc calor. Secunda utus inest calori a ute celi quod isti calor non solum agit sed agit ad vitae. Tertio isti calor agit in ute aiui cuius est instrumentum qua ute inducit formam corporis organici potentia vitae habentis.\n\nTertio quisqueret aliquas ututes habeat quas dividat. Dicendus est quod sic. Ad cuius evidencia notandus est quod nutritiva ad complementum sue operonis quadriplici utute indiget. Indiget enim digestiva quae ex proprio calore naturali digerit et separat purum a impuro et transmutat ipsum ad speem eius quod nutrit. Secundum indiget attractiva. Iuuat aut attractatio cibi tribus calore similitudine et vacuitate. Iuuat quidem primum calore attractionem calor naturalis sugit cibum sicut ignis sugit oleum. The second item helps in a similar way. It is a conduit for the vacuum. There is a passage from the vacuum. It is not vacuous, for some of its parts are not vacuous, and pores in the members draw nourishment through them due to much wear and tear. The third item requires retention. Retention is necessary for it to remain in one place until it receives the necessary change. The fourth item requires expulsion. It is necessary that it expels impurities. And thus we have the digestive, retentive, and expulsive functions, which contribute to the goodness of the alimentary canal.\n\nThen he says, \"There is also that which nourishes it. It requires a double instrument of nourishment and natural heat. And what does this do?\n\nThe second thing governs in a figure that which governs something. That which governs something is governed by two things in the same way.\" The text appears to be written in an ancient language, likely Latin, with some errors and irregularities. Based on the given requirements, I will attempt to clean the text while being as faithful as possible to the original content.\n\nThe text seems to be discussing the concept of nourishment and its role in governing a ship or a living being. Here's the cleaned version:\n\nnaus manu et temone sed tamen manus non est instrumentum moveri ab aliquo externo sed solum a principio intrinseco sca a potestibus huis moveris seipsum.

Quare determinat prima. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the determination of senses or perceptions. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nsensibus. Secundus interrogat, utrum sit aliqua alia potentia contra quemque sensum ibi. Prima in duas aut determinat de quinque sensibus exterioribus. Secundus interrogat, si non est aliud sensus proprium prius quam quinque ibi. Quod aut non sit aliud sensus prius Prima in duas aut determinat de eo, quod ea coniungit omnibus sensibus. Secundus determinat de quodam sensu in particulari ibi dicendum est. Prima duas aut ponit intentum suum. Secundus incipit determinare de sensu ibi. Sensus aut.\n\nPrimo ponit ita dicas, quod determinatis hoc dictum est circa te vegetabilia, et de omnibus sensibilibus. Deinde cum de sensu et demonstrationem requirit, Sensus aut Ad hoc evidenciae voluit, quod in te probare, quod sensus passivus circa probatione est. huius Sic procedit, quod primum ondit quod ssus epoetia passia, secundo ondit quod hoc poetia passia quidque sit ibi Quod sentire dicimus. Tercio quidem fecit mentione de poetia distinguens eam de duplica poetia ibi. Divisum autem Priam in duas quod probabat intentus duabus ronis. Secunda ibi habet dubitationem. Prima ro potest illa utus esse passiva in quod consitit, moeui pati et alterari, ergo poetica sensitiva et poetica passiva. De hac re poit Philo minore in lra dicet. Quod ssus, id est sentire, accidit in muli aliquid et pati, id est sentire ex hoc accidit, quod sensus mouet et patit, sicut deum ei aliubi videtur, ergo haec quaedam alteratio et per coesseque recipit pacem quae ssus recipit formam eius quod sentit in actu. Licet proprie loquendo non sit alteratio vel passio in sensu, ut infra dicetur, Circa passionem autem fuit duplex modus dicendi antiquitus. Alii dixerunt simile pati a simili, Alii dixerunt. contra contra quo hoc potest fieri vel non fieri in viusaliis Ronis de agere et pati. Queret aliquis unumsequitur contranam. Sus consistere in movere, ergo est potentia passiva. Dicunt quod hanc contranam primum probari sic Sicce movet ad potentia active, sic se movet ad potentia passiva, sed sic se movet ad potentia activa, quod arguitur si hoc movet, ergo hoc potentia activa, ergo a simili moveti arguit potentia passiva. Secundo hoc potest declarari: Eiusdem potentiae eum moui ad perfectionem et eiusdem potentiae est movere ad perfectionem cuiusque. Sed de robe potentiae passivae, quod perficiat, ergo de robe eiusdem est quod movet ad perfectionem. Sic ergo perfici arguit potentia passiva ita et movet Imaginabimus quod de ratione potentiae active eum quod largit. perfection is in another and in the pottery art, passive is that which receives it, Dein considers this with doubt. He puts forward the pottery as proof, since if the pottery is sensitive and this is done through sensation, the flame is not a thing that is combustible unless it is sensitive in some way. We are shown this by the fact that we do not feel without something external being present, therefore, if sensory faculties are active, there is doubt that they are senses. Some may doubt whether we sense ourselves or whether sensation is in us or in the objects we perceive, since it is impossible for sensation to exist without something external that stimulates it. It is manifest that the sensory faculty, which is a power of sensation, is not an actuality. idest non est virtus actuua sed potentia. I.e., est utus passivus. Whence even senses do not sense without sensibles from which they arise in action. \u00b6Moreover, the divine Sicut is manifest in that he spoke by way of example. That is, just as the combustible is not consumed by itself without being kindled, so senses cannot be in action without sensibles generating a sense in the sense itself. If the combustible could burn itself, it would not need fire actively kindling it. And so, what is combustible is, in potency, passive and not active, and what is passive, the self, needs sensibles in order to be in action, since sense is a passive user. \u00b6Someone might ask whether sense can be a passive virtue, as Physis is. It cannot be. Vegetative power is less noble than sensitive, but the sensitive is more active than the vegetative. \u00b6To the contrary, Philo sophos says, \"Sense is a kind of knowledge, Physis.\" sus is passive. This, or rather, if we were to declare it, is how such a thing is. If the sense were passive and felt itself and had organs. It is false. For the eye does not see itself, nor in whiteness or blackness. Therefore, the sense of touch is not passive. A thing that acts is closer and stronger in its action towards that which is touched. But sensibles are in the organs of the senses. Each organ of the senses has some element that it receives in it. If, therefore, the passive sense is to be a sense like touch, some will doubt whether the sense can sense itself, that is, its own organs. [Composition] is made of fire, earth, and other elements in the organs of the senses. But no one can say this. If the sense is active, it cannot sense without an external sensible and this is because it acts only towards that which is nearer. Just as fire does not heat unless there is something to heat, Eodean mo. sensus et si sit activus, non potest sentire nisi sensibili contra. Contra dicente phus (quod) si sensus est activus ad minus debet sentire elementa componecia organa sensus quod ipse sensus pns est. Elementa ecia componecia pntia sunt presents aut agente et passo sequit actio agentis. Secunda via potest probari quod sensus est passivus. Hoc aut fit si demus aliud intellectum lrre phi para Ad quemuidencia notandum est quod ad hoc probandum possumus sic arguere. Illa potentia que de se non actuimimo de se et nuda ab actu potentia passiva. Sed sensus de se non actuimino sed reducit ad actum per sensibile extero. Sensus emnudus est ab sensibilibus & a speciebus earum ergo sensus est potentia passiva quod aut sensus de se sit nudus ab sensibilibus. Si poneremus sicut posuit Empedocles (quod) ignis terra et alia elementa componerent ipsum animam sensitivam qr sm enm terram terram coaguiscimus & ignem igni necessario hemus ponere. \"if it [ai\u0304a] were not sensitive to itself in potential respect to the sensitive, but in act and by means of consensual participation, what it [esset] would be an active agent that could feel itself without exterior sensitivity, and this, perhaps, is what the physical force [phu\u0304s] wanted in the air. If someone doubts that [ai\u0304a] sensitia, fire and other elements exist in it, they would also doubt that it [sus] does not feel itself. And if [phu\u0304s] says that [ai\u0304a] sensitia is in act respect to the sensitive, it follows that it [possit] can feel elements that I [conponu\u0304t] put and itself, but if [ai\u0304a] sensitia is not from itself in respect to them, and is in potential respect to them, and in potential respect to them it has no actual power to have except by reducing itself to act through its own sensibilities. And I [io\u0304 sensus] do not feel that I feel, except when it is reduced to act through my own sensibilities. I say, therefore, to feel that I feel. Supposing that [sus] is in some way reflective. In another way, this declaration requires a different explanation. Third way to:\" bandu\u0304 quod sensus utus passivus sequimur commune dictu\u0304. Sensus fit intus suscipiedo et non extramittendo. Virtus recipit est virtus passiva. sed sentire fit itus recipiendo.

Sicut autem motus est actus, ita moueri et sentire est. \"Notandu\u0304: om\u0304e illud actus quod aliquid movet in se ip\u0304sum or from another, is acted upon by a sibling and moves us. Deinde, it is evident that passive potential is transformed into active potential. Passive potential supports active potential, not the reverse. It is not passive potential that draws itself to the act, but rather is drawn by the active. Quodquid paciu\u0304t et movetur, movetur ab actuo quod in actu ens est.

Here is the cleaned text:\n\nsensibili reducimus ad actum et hoc id quod voluit physis in lara. Quod oia possibilia per reducimus ad actum. Dividentur aute Postquam physis dixit, quod sus est in potencia postquam ecia dixit, quod aliquid fit in actu per actuum. In his distinguit de potencia et actu das intelligere duplex potecia.

Secundus autem nihil est in potencia quod sit in potencia ad hoc scias, sed quod in potencia est ad. Consider this, concerning what we say and these things we must consider in potency, as in actuality. Noting that the intention of the mind is twofold in this. The former is the potentiality in which we form an image and know and apply it to this potentiality. The latter is the one that acts and follows the potentiality. Concerning this, we say that some ask Vtrum whether the potentiality follows or leads. We say it follows. Regarding evidentiary matters, note that the potentiality follows the material potentiality more closely. The secondary potentiality follows potentiality more closely in the realm of actuality. I first say that the former potentiality follows potentiality more closely in the case of smaller potentialities, just as heat is more closely related to its form than to potentiality, and the intellect is capable of conceiving it as potentiality rather than as concept in the intellect and the thing in reality is in the words about this potentiality, because it is derived from knowledge. From new possibilities, we can receive. conceptus rei scibilis secundo dico quod secunda potentia assimilat potentiae huius in puram et actu pura et potentia pura et actu pura. De re ipsa hoc est quod hoc potentia quae quis hoc potest exire in actu nisi impedit. Ex quo sequitur quod hoc potentia quae quis hoc potest exire in actu nisi impedit.

And the same drama declares that Noe neither endures there simply nor suffers. Therefore, the second drama is and is suited to be in this role, for this man in poetry draws out one thing from another and another to actuality. But the first potentiality draws out something differently than the second. For the first potentiality does not draw out from the second, but rather the second from the first. In this matter, it is seen that both are known to be different. For the first potentiality does not reduce itself to actuality through itself, altered by doctrine and moved by some other external force and such a change is contrary to its nature. But if the second potentiality is not in this state and Ios only passes from not acting to acting or from orio to actuality, this man is...\" Iaah or I did not know this, but:\nHe who acts and goes from leisure to action is different in potentiality and in acting. Someone might ask. Whether it is true that physical power can transit from potentiality to actuality contrary to its habitual nature. They said this. This can be made clear in two ways. The first way is explained as follows. If someone is reduced from potentiality to actuality in ignorance, he is ignorant of the truth and is not detained by a contrary error, but he who ignores this becomes an actor knowing the truth and the error is reduced to actuality from a contrary habit. I was not changed from a contrary habit into what I seem to be, but I am reduced to actuality, solving the problem in this way.\nThe second way is explained as follows. You ignore some things in a simple negation, not knowing the truth or being detained by a contrary error. You reduce to actuality from a contrary habit those who hold onto error contrary to the truth and you are reduced to actuality in this way.\nThe second way is explained as follows:\nYou ignore some things in a simple negation, not knowing the truth or being detained by a contrary error. Those who hold onto error contrary to the truth are reduced to actuality by you, and you are reduced to actuality from a contrary habit.

Secundo ponit quod transitus de prima potentia ad primum actum qui est scientia est quoddam transitus. \"At the beginning, two things are included regarding the power of the entity. The first is the transition from habit to act, such as the change from seeing in consideration to another kind of consideration. The second concludes that one who passes into this act does not add to it, but rather, in considering it, the act becomes one's own if it reduces itself into oneself, that is, if it is not altered in perfection. Or if it is altered in another way, it is a different kind of alteration. We do not say that a wise man is altered from him because he acts wisely, nor do we say that a builder is altered from him because he builds. It should be noted that the word \"philos\" in the brief form can be such. The reduction of it into itself or something similar or alike is a kind of alteration.\" alteratio est alteratio ex alio in aliud. Sed reductio habitus in actum est aut reductio eiusdem in se aut similis in simile. Nihil ergo est alteratio deinde quid in actu. Quod nullus docet addiscere ex hoc, quod transivit in actum secundum, dicens. Quod iustum non est quod aliquis accipiat doctrina. Aliquis addiscit ex eo quod ducit ex potentia ad actum, intelligere et sapere. Sed altera partem hoc denotat, quasi dicit, phusis doctrina non supponit sciam sed eum motus ad scientiam. Ex hoc quod aliqui hic sunt in actu scientiae, non doctrina vel addiscere quid transivit ex habitu in actum supponit habitus. Doctrina aut si addiscere est ad habitus, deinde quid ex potentia actentis Ondit quod transivit de pma potentia ad pterum actum, discens ita, ut hic transivitus non est alteratio, sed transmutatio et haec est ratio. Transivit ex potentia in actum, pterens Adisces, et hic transivitus est qui ex potentia ente fit ens et hoc. ab actu ente. You shall learn to receive this from the actual experience and teach without anger. This is the only way to learn or change one's ways, either by adopting new dispositions or by contradicting opposing ones. Another method of changing dispositions is by adding salutary and pleasing qualities without rejecting the contrary and such a change is that which occurs in the intellect. One might ask about the alteration in the philosophical sense, not that it is from contradictory dispositions as he said, but that such an alteration is essential in the former and not in the latter, and flees from the latter as from the actual or real things, in the former aspect it knows. In the accepted alteration, therefore, what is essential is that it is contrary to the former. \"This is in contrast. Thus, albatross is not for the white, but rather for the black or medium, in respect to the white. In acquisition or scientific account, this acquisition is from a contrary state. It happens that in error you acquire knowledge contrary to the truth. If this were essentially in those who teach, you would have been erring more if it were false. Therefore, alteration, which is in the intellect, is not entirely from a contrary habit, but rather it takes on the contrary as an error. And if one says that alteration is from a contrary disposition, they say that it receives the contrary as a disposition. They say that dispositions do not primarily pertain to motion, but rather to potentiality and not to the whole or to some mode, but rather to the potentiality as it is in concept or to the potentiality to act.\" This text appears to be written in an ancient or archaic form of Latin.

Transire autem a terra potestas ad te transire ad actum, qui actus vel est foris in conceptu vel hoc sacer situs quodquid talis motus ex draco quod in essentiali et accidentali potestas illud essentialiter in potestate est, quod in potestate aliquid esset extra actum, sed talis potentia quodquid pauper reducit in actum, pauper qui hoc formam vel essentia et medianti actu pauper potest exire in actum secundum. Illud aut essentialiter in potestate est quod hic pauper actu vel forma per quam potest operari accidit, quod non operetur hoc visis, quod requiruntur. Adhuc ista potentia drantis actu et formam per quam operari accidit, non operetur hoc visis, quod requiruntur. Addiscere est deductio de potestate essentiali et non de potestate accidentali. Talis deductio est de terra potestate ad primum actum. Est intelligendum quod potestas essentialis duobus modis. Ut enim dicamus:\n\nForm what is this sacred place. To pass from earthly power to you to pass to the act, which is an act or is it outside the concept, or is this sacred place whatsoever such a motion from the dragon, which is essentially in the power, that in the power something is outside the act, but such power, whatever it is, reduces the poor to the act, the poor who has this form or essence and through the act, the poor can exit the act according to the second. That which is essentially in the power is what this poor one in act or form through which it operates, it does not operate for those who see, which is required. Furthermore, this power of the dragon in act and form through which it operates, it does not operate for those who see, which is required. To learn is a deduction from essential power and not from accidental power. Such a deduction is from the earthly power to the first act. It is to be understood that essential power is in two ways. As we say:\n\nTherefore, this text discusses the essential nature of the power and its ability to act in the first act. It is important to note that essential power comes in two forms: potential and actual. The potential power is the power to act, while the actual power is the power in action. In this text, the focus is on the potential power and its ability to bring about the first act. The essential power is the power to some extent towards some end. Power can be twofold, either towards the end in effect and thus is the power of the mind towards the end in concept, and thus is the power of intellect deduction or this power towards divine concepts, the learning of.\n\nThe senses first receive a primary impression. After distinguishing the twofold power, he distinguishes his approach to those things that are directly related to the intellect and divides these into three parts. For example, he places convenience in the self and the second in the drama. Drut acts accordingly. He collects what is said about himself in that place. Now consider the following regarding self-evident knowledge. The first includes what is in the intellect as a single power. The second includes what the intellect reduces these two powers to action through the second motor. The first reduces to action through knowledge of the second and the senses. quantum ad hoc duo: quod pma mucosa sit generatum est a generete. Noscet emum pma mutilatione que est de pura potentia in actu pmu qui quid actus ea forma hec emum generatio est a generante educeam sensitiam de potentia iactu & per talem educationem generet animal cuius forma ea sensitia. Cuius autem hoc ita generatum est tuum hoc sensu et in potentia ad sentire, ita se hoc hoc sensum ad sentire, ita se hoc hoc sciam ad considerare. Quodquidperfectio sensus assimilat perfectioni, scitis quoniam novit nihil. Sed quoniam sensus actu sentit, ita se ille qui actu considerat.\n\nNota est quod hic physus loquens innuit quod in seipsum duplex perfectio est. Perfectio pma est potentia sensitiva. Secunda perfectio est sentire. Pma habet perfectio sui assimilat pme perfectioni intellectus. Secundus physus innuit quod ipsum ei duplex mutatio arguit. Duplex ei perfectio. Two mutations. Tercius introduced two motors. Thus, these two mutations argue for two motors, which move nothing by themselves. Therefore, some among the Vterum people assimilate perfection of the body to the perfection of the intellect. It is clear that the body's perfection of the intellect is not equal to it in every way. However, whatever is similar in this respect, that is, how the intellect assimilates the body's perfection and considers it, will not voluntarily harm us unless something impedes us, so that our senses' potentialities sense it as we will, unless something impedes us from sensing it. The intellect, which we call the perfection of the body, acts and considers, and it will not voluntarily harm us unless something impedes us, either through indisposition of the medicine or through the absence of the sensible and thus, whatever senses completes the body's perfection assimilates knowledge and in this way is similar. However, the perfection of the body is unlike the perfection of the intellect, which completes its nature. The body has the perfection of the intellect. heter perfeximus et studium. Intelligimus eum quod potcie apparuerunt in duplici drue quae eum potcie apparuerant, cum perfectionem ea primae fuerant et talis potentia ea sus. A ipso eius generatione generatis et datis forma sensitiva dat actus pusus quo sensus potuit sentire quodcumque voluerit. Hoc eum vocamus perfectionem pumquamquis hos operari poterit per ea quae voluerit. Alia poetica apparuit cuius perfectionem acquirit per studium et experimentum, et talis potentia ea intelligimus.\n\nAd argumentum quod non est oinos simile, intellegat quisquam secundo. Utperfectio sensitiva sit ab agente. Videtur quod sensitiva et intellectiva in hoc sunt una, sed intellectiva est a creato ergo sensitiva.\n\nAd oppositum ei dicendum est quod de intentione phi non est plus nisi ostendere quod prima perfectio sensitiva est ab agente quod induit formam in materiam. Utautem. This text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical or theological argument. I will translate it into modern English while removing unnecessary characters and formatting.\n\nillud agens sit genera\u0304s vel creans hoc accidit quod posuit phi. [Imagine if this acting being were a creator, this happened when it posited a form. Consider that matter does not have form of itself but rather acquires form through the power of the creator Vtrum, or if you wish to create or generate, this is irrelevant to what was posited.] Dixit autem phus in lr\u0304a quod p\u0304ma perfectione sensitiuo est a generat\u0113 quod loquit de sensitiuo ai\u0304a liu\u0304 alterius ab his quibus forma sensitiva educitur potentia materiae. [But Phus said in lr\u0304a that the corruptible is the perfection of sensitiva, speaking of sensitiva as something different from those in whom sensitiva is educated from potential matter.] Ad argumentum puta. Supposito quod sensitiuum sit in intellectu sicut trigonum in tetragono ut dictum est, supra ita quod per eandem formam homo intelligit et sensit quod sicut intellectus est a creato ita et sensitivum. [For the argument, suppose that sensitiva is in the intellect as trigonum is in tetragono, so that through the same form, a man both understands and senses, just as the intellect is from the created, so too is sensitiva.] Si autem ita dicamus, surgit quaestio dubia. Corruptibile enim est et incorruptibile non sunt unum substatia, intellectus autem est incorruptibilis. Sensitivum autem est corruptibile, ergo non sunt unum subesse. [However, if we say it thus, a question arises. For the corruptible and the incorruptible are not one substance, but intellectus is incorruptible. Sensitivum, however, is corruptible, therefore they are not one substance.] Ad hoc potest dicere corruptibile et incorruptibile sunt formae unius substantiae. [To this, it can be said that the corruptible and incorruptible are forms of one substance.] qr eade2 suba2 no2 is both corruptible and incorruptible by nature. Corruptible and incorruptible are one in operation. Supposing they are the same in sensation and intellect. Sensation will be incorruptible as regards the body, for the body's operation corrupts it to corruption of the organ. If one were to ask, however, in potential vegetative being, it is given to have two movers, such that in actuality it moves itself to the second. The potential is that which is not. A potential active power is potential passive in respect to the potential passive. Potential does not reduce potential to act except through a mover. From the root of potential passive, that which moves it is what moves it away from the potential passive. A potential active power can move a potential passive power only if it is movable. Therefore, let us imagine that the generator gives a formative power to the potential being, the formative power gives to potential being what potential passive lacks and requires a mover. I give potential being formative power. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be about the relationship between perception and intellect. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Data potentia quae indiget aliquo motore. Potentia aut vegetativa est et potentia actuia, et hoc idiget talis motore scat libera primumque generet a corde actuas potentias, quod moueat obmutescet et idem indiget oboedientiae hoc motori. Potentia vegetativa mouet alimenum et non mouet ab eo. Verum quod vegetativa id mouet instrumento alimeni instruendo, dein cuus dramtas intus et intelligas et duo facit quod primum odit dramtas intus et intelligas quam tu ad sentire et intelligere. Secundum quod sciam sibilius et intelligibilis ibi. Silentia autem et haec sunt. Prius in duas quidem ponit dramtas intus et intelligas. Secundum hoc elicet quaedam conclusio ibi. Vnde intelligere ponit ergo primum dramtas aut hoc quod sibilia agunt in nobis exstant. Intelligibile autem quod agit intellectu est ipsum intellectum et hoc quod dat lumen. Que sic continuitur ita dictum est. Quod sensus assimilatur intellectui ab eo.\" aliquo: certain things are active in us from outside, being visible and audible, as well as other sensibles, are not in the soul. Active and passive in the soul are intellectual. The cause of this drive is because senses are singular things that are from the soul. However, science, that is, operational and intellectual science, is one and the same as in the soul. One might ask whether active sensory experiences are from the soul like physical things. It is said that this is so. The reason is that the external sense does not abstract form from the presence of matter, nor does matter's presence suffice for sensibles to move without the presence of the external thing. In apprehensions, there are four kinds. There is an inferior apprehension in which form is abstracted from matter but not from the presence of matter, and such abstraction is in the external sense. The external sense receives the form of the thing, not as being in the thing but as it is. This intention is abstract in that sense, because these species do not suffice for motion without the thing itself in thought, since these senses do not abstract from the thing itself. A god is in the apprehension of imagination, which imagines and retains forms not present in things, but does not abstract from the properties of matter following form and quiddity in this or that matter, such as a man being of this species or this figure, and similarly for others. This does not follow form in one individual as it does in another. The third degree of apprehension is in estimation. This apprehends intentions which do not impair external senses, but these intentions without these senses are not known to us. It apprehends good and evil. Friendly and agreeable. Through this, it recognizes a wolf as harmful to itself and a mother as agreeable. Fourth degree and The supreme one in the apprehension of the intellect is he who apprehends pure quiddities, for this apprehension abstracts from sensible matter and existence in act. Therefore, physis in lrua, which moves the intellect and engages it in a musical operation, should not be such that they are in re extra. To ask how the true quiddities are in the soul, as physis in lrua is in things, one must say that the quiddity is twofold in the formal sense. One of these is not in effect and does not abstract from this and that, and the reason why this is so is that it is in singulars. Thus, just as singulars concern this and now, so does quiddity in effect. Therefore, quiddity should be in concept and this abstracts from this and that, because the intellect contemplates it in this or that pure formality and not in the potentiality or cognition, and because universality follows the quiddity in the concept, just as obmius is in potentia and cognitio in cognoscente. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be about the relationship between sensory experiences and the intellect. Here is the cleaned text:\n\ndixit Phus quod uniusalia sunt in aia, dixit autem quod quidam ratio pter ea quod imaginationes et fantasmina sunt in aia et ab ipso abstrahit uniusale, quod movet intellectum possibile. In fantasinate autem uniusalia non sunt in actu sed in potentia, et sic sui ibi quodammodo. Per abstractione autem intellectus fiunt actu intelligibilia et universalia. Deinde, quid est unum intelligere in ipso est. Ex predicis concludit Phus quod quae sic concludit veritas est. Ita est quod universalia sunt in aia, ex quo sequitur quod aia potest velint Sextus aut non in ipso. I.e. in potestate animi cuis ratio est quare sentire, ut dictum est, necessario exigit praesentiam sensibilis sensibile aut semper est pseus, ac si diceret Phus. Sentire dependet a praesentia sensibilis, sensibile autem non semper pseus ergo aia non semper sentire.\n\nDeinde quidquid dicet. Sicut autem et hoc ipsum ipse. Obtinet quod ecia difftert sensus ab intellectu, quantum ad sciendum, quod sicut est in:\n\nThis text is about Phus stating that sensory experiences are in the world, but the intellect abstracts the unchangeable aspects that can move the possible intellect. In fantasies, sensory experiences are not in actuality but in potentiality, and thus they are there in a way. Through abstraction, the intellect makes things universals. Furthermore, Phus concludes that the truth is what is being concluded. Therefore, universals are in the world, and it follows that the world can either will or not have Sextus, i.e., in the power of the animus, which is why it is necessary for there to be a sensory presence in order to sense, as has been said. Sentience depends on a sensory presence, but the sensory presence is not always false, so the world does not always sense.\n\nThen whatever he says. However, this very thing itself. He obtains that ecia differs in sense from the intellect, insofar as to know:\n\nThis text appears to be discussing the difference between sensory experiences and the intellect, and how the intellect abstracts the unchangeable aspects of sensory experiences to understand the world. The world contains universals, and the world can either have or not have Sextus (presumably a person), depending on the power of the animus. Sentience requires a sensory presence, but the sensory presence is not always false, so the world does not always sense. The text also mentions that ecia differs from the intellect in terms of knowledge. operation is the sense's way in knowledge of sensible things, requiring the participation of matter. Some of the things that are sensible and can be perceived are singular things that are in matter and these are external things. In the third place, he will speak of intellect and the intellect's connection to the sense. Therefore, concerning this, Nucius says: He collects that what is from sense and first, in a twofold sense, you can say that Nucius says that the nuclus is definite and determined as it is in potentiality but multiplied. One person may be said to be able to fight in potentiality, another may be said to be able to fight now that he is in perfect age and this potentiality is near and similarly disposed to sense. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of perception and sensation. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Dicimus enim aliquis est in potentia ad sensendum, ut deus est secundus, collectit id quod dicimus: quod licet dramatis personarum sit innoata quae sunt, aut non sunt impositae, quod illae sunt alterae ab inveniendis et quo sunt alterae, de alterari et pati, quia licet alterari et pati, non autem prius sensu tibi, aut hominibus imposita sunt. Tertio collectit id quod dictum est de sensu quatuor, dicens quod sensus est tale in potentia, quale est sensibile in actu, siquidem illud quod patit in principio non sit simile. Quis autem passum est hoc ita assimilatum, ut sensus in principio non assimilatur sensibili. Sed in fine sibi assimilatur.\"\n\nTranslation: \"For we say that one is in the potentiality to sense, as God is second, we collect this: that the dramatis personae are innocent and unimposed, or not imposed, that they are different from what is found and how they are different, concerning alteration and suffering, since it is possible to alter and suffer, but not before the senses, or they are imposed on us or on men. Thirdly, we collect what was said about the four senses, stating that the sense is such in potentiality as the sensible is in act, since what suffers in the beginning is not similar. But who has been able to be assimilated in this way, so that the sense in the beginning does not assimilate the sensible?\" actu: It is said that what is not real is as it were real, but in a different way. Seus is not really potent to become sensible, but rather the sensible form receives it in the sensible thing, not in the thing itself but more in the intent of that thing. If the form received it in the sense, it would be as if there were two senses, and it would be necessary for one to be white and another black. Furthermore, the form that is not in matter does not receive cognition. The received form gives cognition. Therefore, it receives here and there. In matter, the form receives the thing. In the sense, it receives the intent. Each special motion argues for a special mover. It is said that hope moves the senses, not what is in matter, but rather the intent. Therefore, it is necessary to give a certain motor to receive this from the intent. Not can it be said that the sensible intents have a spatial existence. hoc quod recepit in subjecto spuali. Diversitas enim intendo non est ex diversitate substancium, sed magis ex diversitate motencium, quae subjecto diversificat motencia magis quam ea conversio. Praeterea, quod intelligibilia hoc movere unum scimus in intellectu agente, ita videtur quod oia sensibilia hoc agente sensum attingunt, qui in obiectis intentionem sensibilem cathet.\n\nAd haec questione videtur dicere comentator quod in sensibus necessse est dare motorem externum, qui largiat intentionibus. Sed Aristoteles hoc tacuit in sensu latet et apparet in intellectu. Tamen dicendum est quod non debemus dare sensum agentem vel sensibilia per se ut motiva. Eo ipso enim motiva per se sunt. Eo ipso pnt motuere sensum nec opus est quod hic virtus motiva sibi conferat ab extrinseco. Omnis enim virtus activa ex se ipso quod agere potest. Cur ergo sensibile respectu sensus sit usus activus ex se quod agere potest? Quod autem. sensitive has this property within itself, below, where it is said to be visible in the second moment, I also say that it is visible in the second moment within itself. Therefore, what is visible in the second moment within itself, by nature, can move the thing seen and is not moved by anything external.\n\nTo the first argument, it is not the case that what has intention is compelled to follow that which moves it. This mover is not itself the active agent, but rather a form of sensation generated in the middle and I was intentional and moved myself. Concerning what is said about the intellect, it is to be said that it is not similar. The intellect does not act like it is said in the third [part]. [But] a phantasm is not a mover in actuality, but rather a mover in potentiality.\n\nColor and the sensible are moved by a mover, and if what is required for light to move color is that it be given to color, it is to be said that light does not give motion to the mover, that is, the color, but rather gives motion to the medium that is moved. The intellect also gives. fanasmati quod mouet et si lux largiret colori quod mouet non potest dicere sensus agis. Quod lux est ex sensu Intellectus aut agis est pers anime. Notandum est quod fantasma propter maxima abstractione transuit ad ea intelligibilia. Requirit intellectus agentis hoc aut non requirit in sensu quod ibi sit abstractio.\n\nDicendu quam dictum est de sensu hic incipit drue physica de unoquoque sensu in particulari. Divisit hoc per duas partes. Quia primo determinat sensibilia commuia a propriis. Secundo determinat unicum sensum ibi. Quid est visus. Prima duas quasermo poit intellectus suus. Secundo exequitur ibi. Dicit autem sensibile quatuor ergo ad quam dictum est de sensibili s unumque sensum. Non. an hoc pomo dicet, in sensibilibus confero distinguo, inter sensibilia et propria, et inter sensibilia et propriis, per se et per accidents. Dein cudt dicit, aut sensibile est. Exequitur intentus suus et duo facit, quod pomo facit, divisionem sensibilium. Secundo, explanatio divisionis ibi. Dico autoprium, ad evidentiam praelucidare, quod sensibile est tripliciter: unum quod per se duobus modis est, de altero autem sensibilium quidem sentitur per accidents. Quod sentit per se, duobus modis est: saepe sensibile ipsum sentit ab pluribus sensibus, aut ab uno solo sensu. Hoc est ergo quod dictum est. Quod sensibile dicitur tripliciter, unum quod per se duobus modis est, de altero autem sensibilium quidem sentitur per accidents. Quod sentit per se, duobus modis est: saepe sensibile ipsum sentit ab pluribus sensibus, aut ab uno solo sensu. Sensibilia emendum per se alia sunt a sensibili proprii, quod non sentit ab uno solo sensu, sed commune omnibus sensibus vel pluribus. Dein cudt dico autoprium. The text describes the three ways in which the senses distinguish the sensible from the common. The first makes manifest what is sensible to the individual in two ways. The second explains the two modes in which it is sensible to the common. However, it is to be noted that the sensible to the individual can be notified in two ways. The first way is when the sensible to the individual itself senses and perceives these notifications. The second way is when the sensible to the individual is around that which causes it to err, and it is sensible to itself that it is not erring. We say that the visible and the colors are sensible to the individual regarding that which it is not, and the audible in the same way. soni and gustus are the senses for taste and smell. Tactus recognizes and feels things that approach it. He knows the difference between hot and cold, wet and dry, heavy and light, and similar things.\n\nDein says, but one who is sensitive and aware is capable of recognizing the nature of the error in this physical sensation and how it relates to the sensitive object, and of not being deceived by one who indicates something about the sensibles and around them. He indicates this through sight with regard to color and does not err. And through hearing with regard to sound and does not deceive. If, however, the sense indicates something about the color or sound that is frequently deceptive, then one must be careful to judge where the color is applied or where the sound originates, and similarly for other senses, to avoid deception, unless the sense itself is deceived.\n\nThe sensible things are called proper to one sense or another, depending on which sense does not err in relation to them. But in the case of the sense of touch, there is frequent deception regarding what is colored or what is sounding.\n\nSomeone might ask, whether it is possible for a sense to err. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the deception of the senses, specifically sight and taste. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nProprium obiectum proprio. Quod sic videtur: quod gustus iudicat aliquid dulce, ita autem ipsum iudicando decipitur. Ad oppositum est dictum: circa hanc quaestionem duo sunt videnda. Primo, quod sensus decipit circa proprium obmutescens. Secundo, quod decipit circa sensibile per accidens et sensibile coniunctum. Primaquam quaecumque aliqua sunt subordinata, ita quod unum est activum et reliquum passivum. Ipsum active naturaliter inducit passionem in passivo, sed sensibile et sensus naturaliter ordinata sunt, ita quod sensibile est activum et sensus est passivus.

When one is not oneself the self-same [thing], one is called Priapus with regard to what is beyond oneself, because one feels the changes of senses as one's own. The senses themselves are that which determines the changes of these senses and discerns between sensibles. Another imagination is said to be true, because sensibles are called common senses, since they are perceived by many senses in such a way that the sensible thing itself respects a sense, as color respects sight, and sound respects hearing. But the common sensible does not respect this sense as this sense does. If it did, it could not be perceived by the common sensible through one sense alone, which is false. All common sensibles can at least be perceived by more than one sense.\" quod libet\nillo rum pus sentiri ab omnibus sensibus, sed quod a pluribus sentit. Three are sibling concepts. Motion quies and number were siblings, sensed by all senses. Quies and number were perceived by touch and sight and nose primarily by other senses. We see or hear what is sounded or seen not well, nor does taste well perceive the taste of the figure. There is what has some quantity and shape perceived by touch and sight and nose. We see or hear what is a figure appealing to the sight, nor does taste well perceive the taste that is savory. Therefore, no sense perceives all sibling things communis quodlibet, for this sense is not its own, but communis calls the sensible communis because it makes the appearance communis. If it is so. This sensible figure is not its own, but cons.\n\nThere are several issues with the given text. The text appears to be in Latin, but it contains several errors and inconsistencies. Here is a cleaned version of the text, with corrections based on the context:\n\nquod libet (what is pleasing)\nillo rum pus sentiri ab omnibus sensibus, sed quod a pluribus sentit. (Three are concepts that are common to all senses. Motion and number are common siblings, sensed by all senses. But what is sensed primarily by one sense may be sensed differently by others.)\n\nTria sunt siblia communia. (Three are common siblings.)\nMotus quies et numerus fuere consanguinei omnibus sensibus. (Motion and number were common to all senses.)\nQuies et numerus percepere poterant omnes sensus tactu et visu et olfactu primum. (Quies and number could be perceived primarily by touch, sight, and smell by all senses.)\n\nAliud autem duo quaedam quantitas et figura percipi debent tactu et visu et gustu. (Another thing, however, quantity and shape should be perceived by touch, sight, and taste.)\n\nVidemus aut audiamus quod sonat vel videtur figura bene non bene percipimus. (We see or hear what is sounded or seems to be a figure, not well.)\n\nEst autem quod aliqua quantitas magis sonet magis magnitudine sonitus quam alia magna. (There is also what has a greater quantity of sound than others due to its magnitude.)\n\nItum olfactus adorando percipit figuram admirabilis, nec gustus bene percipit gustabilem et sic patet quod nullus sensus omnia communia percipit. (Approaching with the sense of smell, we perceive a figure that is admirable, but taste does not well perceive the savory, and so it is clear that no sense perceives all common things.)\n\nSi ita est, aspectus huius sibilis non est proprium, sed communis. (If this is the case, the appearance of this sensible thing is not its own, but common.)\n\nSi autem aspectus primus facit, communis vocat sibile communis. (But if the appearance is primary, it calls the sensible thing common.) sensible property makes things communally sensible. A person who wants to discuss these sensible things as sensible in themselves is to be understood as speaking of things that are sensible in themselves. It is to be noted that things are known through their resemblance to one another in sense. The resemblance of things to one another in sense is of various kinds: one kind is present in itself, as in the case of color, and these sensible things are called sensible in themselves and primarily. Another kind is present in itself, but not only in this way, as in the case of figure and magnitude. It is to be noted that what is sensible in itself makes itself susceptible to change. However, these sensible things, when they make themselves susceptible to change, are sensible in themselves and not only in this way. Furthermore, it is not false that sensible things, as properties, do not make the senses themselves change, but rather sensible things are called sensible in themselves and not only relatively to other senses. From this it is clear that sensible things are not only capable of producing modifications as some hold, stating that sensible qualities move. corporally and situationally, and therefore move differently because they are in larger or smaller bodies, or because they are situated near or far. From this it follows that they call alterations in magnitude sensible in common. Or even situation makes sensible qualities change differently. But they themselves also cause change. For if common sensibles made all things immovable and none at all changeable, they would not be sensible in themselves. But that which is sensible in itself is also the one that initiates a species of sense. It should be noted that, as Physis says, magnitude is sensible in common because sensible qualities change corporally and situationally, and therefore are in magnitude. Following magnitude is figure, for figure is nothing other than a termination of quantity. Following magnitude is also number, because number arises from division and continuity, and magnitude is not only immersed in extension but also in motion. The mover and rest are its own. \"potency is opposed to this, Deinu's duty is towards Scydmaea, and the one who causes it is different from the one who is sensitive through the senses for himself and by himself, here. That which is sensitive through the senses when it senses in the same way that we say that Darius' son is sensitive through the senses because it happens to Darius' son himself or to someone else, white or rough, when it is felt by itself. He says that the sensitive through the senses is insusceptible to touch, for nothing touches it from itself, but it receives a sense from that which is touched, even if it can act in relation to another. We say that the sweet is visible through the senses, but it does not act on the sight, yet in relation to taste it is sensitive through itself in relation to sight. That which is sensitive through the senses comes together with something when it unites with it.\" \"Mediate another. Sensitive to something, I do not begin to perceive anything from that sense which is not mediately sensitive through itself, except insofar as the sensitive thing itself is mediately sensitive. From this condition follows that every sensitive thing can be called such only insofar as it is joined with the sensible through the sensible. Every sensible thing reduces us to itself. The third condition of the sensible is that it can be known through itself, because through some other power another can be known by this power, and what is sweet and visible through the senses is not only sweet and visible in itself, but also sweet and visible to the taste and sweet to the palate. You can know some powers through themselves, as we say that we see a man living through the senses and immediately grasp his life when we see him speaking or moving himself, and no intellect can be called sensitive through the senses, but rather that which is present to the senses is immediately apprehended by the intellect.\"\n\nAfter the philosopher distinguished between the sensible. Per se and in the absence of sensible perception, it is difficult to determine for oneself which of the senses is affected by this, and it was divided into which one of the four senses determined by the sensible object. Secondly, one is aware of it from the sensible object. Sometimes it is from a dream. Thirdly, the sense of smell is involved in this. Fourthly, the sense of taste is involved in this. Tangible things are first divided into two or more categories based on the visible. The second observes what is visible there. It is clear. The first distinguishes what is visible in three categories. The second determines what is visible. Visible things have color as their primary characteristic. Therefore, one should determine what is visible by saying \"this is visible\" regarding which of the senses is the one perceiving the visible and the sense organ determining the sensation through which. quid aspectu differentiare proprium sensibile cuus ergo visibile sit proprium sensibile includit determinatum aspectu ad determinatum sum scrae ad visu perque determinatum aspicit, Aristoteles hic visibile dicit quod visible est quod visibile est cuus visus est. Infert enim visibile determinatum passionem & motum voluntarium [De in]. Visibile est aet. Dividit ipsum visibile duo dicens quod sub visibili duo comprehenduntur. Non visibile et color et quiddam aliud quod rogum desigit. Sed hoc proprium nomen sibi imposuit. De visibili autem magis manifestum erit quod magis ingressi fuerint cognitione visibilis. Notandum est quod color visibilis drum smat modum at alium modum dantur visibilia illa quae vident nocte sic sunt noctilucae. Licet autem rogum non distinguat inter haec duo visibilia. Tamen nomen hoc non est. I. Set down this visible thing: Dein\\_ placed the visible in a visible form and began to determine what was visible from what was not. And he made two things: the first determined what it was in color, the second determined what it was in turn from the second, and he spoke of the invisible there. No one saw these visible things. The first determined whether it was this color that appeared visible. The second proved it there. It is something diaphanous. The first pointed this out. And from this it is concluded that when it is there, it is in two ways. The first, because it is called \"defined\" in its definition and in this position it defines the thing that falls under it, and in such a position it defines the thing that falls under it as that which falls under the definition. The second, because it itself submits to the definition of the thing that falls under it. diffinoce pudicati eo mo quod ista e per se nunus e par in talo proposito sube ca pudicati et no pudicatu ca subi.

It is called a transparent body, like air or water, and whatever translucid makes visible and does not terminate the sight in itself. Then he says. One who asks. He concludes when the conclusion is reached. He said that the color of its own nature moves the transparent body, and that the transparent body is not in act without light, because the color is not visible without light, and this is what is meant, that the color is not visible in itself, but the eye sees it through light.\"\n\n\"Someone might ask. If the color itself is visible. He sees that it is not. For the color is visible through something added, not through itself. But the color is visible through something added, namely through light, therefore the color is not visible in itself.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, it is said that light is required for understanding in two ways: one way, to understand that light is required; but in what way it is required, this is not clear.\" \"Despite colors and these colors do not move in absence of light, except in potentiality. Light gives them form and shape, and they move in act when they are understood to be color, not visible in themselves or made visible by something else that draws us from potentiality to act. This is how the wine-dark one [Phanes, the personification of light] opposes Physis [Nature], who places that color is visible in itself and moves diaphaneously in act. If it moves by nature itself, it does not move by anything added. Elsewhere, it can be understood that light requires nothing before it, but rather requires more in order to move. To whom this evidence is presented, it is necessary to add it, because these things are perfect and imperfect. For the perfect one does not dissolve in similarity in the passage, but rather can dispose us to be receptive of similarity and such perfection is in light. Light does not dissolve by its own virtue of moving what is seen: but rather, this.\" With the given input text, I will attempt to clean it while being as faithful as possible to the original content. I will remove meaningless or unreadable characters, correct OCR errors, and translate ancient English as necessary.\n\nCleaned Text:\n\"With virtue, he disposed of the passive and mobile so it could receive a likeness of itself. Virtue itself is not capable of disposing of such things; rather, it is disposed by light. Color is like light obscured and darkened by the mixture of the body and opaque, and therefore it cannot dispose itself to be receptive of a likeness but is rather disposed by light. Regarding the argument, it is to be noted that he supposed that light would give form and habit to colors, which was false. Therefore, there is something diaphanous. After determining this about color, he could not be seen without colors. To make this clear, it should be noted that color cannot be seen without light and willing.\" It is necessary to inform nature about colors regarding the nature of light. Light is an act of sound and visible to the eyes at terminated and defined boundaries. Therefore, those who wish to know the nature of light must know the nature of diaphony and this is what the philosopher here explains about diaphony and light. He divides this into three parts. First, he inquires what diaphony is. Second, he inquires what light is. Light is the third part in which diaphony is found. It is receptive to colors.\n\nFirst, concerning the first, what is diaphony? Second, it is inquired what nature saves in the body of diaphony, not in the elemental body but in the celestial body. This is the case.\n\nAs for the first, that some body is diaphony and this diaphonic body is visible, it is not visible in itself but is receptive to external colors. Noteworthy is the fact that diaphony, whether permanent or not, is visible only when it is actually illuminated. We see light not as it is but in some subject. This text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of diaphony (the harmony of sounds) and its relationship to elements such as air and water. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"This is a diaphonic body, which was not actually illuminated, so that it could receive all colors from itself, and if, as Physis says, it is visible through an external color. Then this body is air. Nature says that the diaphonic body is not only in an elementary body but also in a celestial body. This body, the diaphonic one, does not necessarily meet air, although it does not meet it closely because air is not the precise cause of diaphonicity. If air were the precise cause of diaphonicity, water would not be diaphonic. Similarly, the diaphonic body does not necessarily meet water closely, because water is not the precise cause of diaphonicity. Nor does it meet precisely the elements, such as air and water, and celestial bodies through their natural elements but through some common nature of air, water, and bodies.\"\n\nIf the diaphonic body followed the nature of elements, it would not be found in a celestial body, which is a falsehood. est.

Someone might ask, is it true that what is called light is like the color of the transparent? It is seen that light is not contrary to color or anything contrary, therefore, etc.\n\nOn the contrary, it is said that something is born from light and color, and something is dissimilar. Therefore, what is similar to this in color and light is that, just as color is an observable quality in a terminated body, so light is an observable quality not in a terminated body. For light is diffused on the surface and in the depths. The following text describes the nature of light and diaphonic (transparent) bodies. According to the text, light and darkness are contrasting, and a body can be transparent or opaque. Transparent bodies are generated from formal and noble matter, which is not lit from another source unless formal bodies or similar ones are in close proximity. Transparent bodies, although they do not have light in their nature, receive light from an actively shining body. Physics states that a transparent body is transparent to the actively shining body. Transparent bodies in the third degree are opaque bodies that are the most dense. The following text appears to be written in an ancient language, likely Latin or a Latin-derived language. Based on the given requirements, I will attempt to clean and translate the text into modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\nrecessu a corporibus primis sunt in maximo recessu a lume. corpus emanat opaque\nWhat then is this distinction? After I have come into existence, what is it that is hidden here, what is not? For neither is it a body nor a flow of a body. This part is divided into two. In the primeval part, it places its intent on it, asserting that when it is said what is diaphone and what is light. It is manifest that light is neither fire nor any kind of corporeal substance nor anything flowing from a body. If light were flowing from a body, it would follow that light is a certain body and thus light is nothing other than the presence of fire or some body in the diaphone. It should be noted that, according to some ancient beliefs, light was considered to be a body. On the other hand, as Democritus held, light was what flowed from a luminous body. And because what flows from a body is a body, he maintained that light was this.\n\nCleaned and translated text:\n\nThe first bodies are in the greatest recession from light. The body emanates opaque. What, then, is this distinction? After I have come into existence, what is hidden here and what is not? For neither is it a body nor a flow of a body. This part is divided into two. In the primeval part, it places its intent on it, asserting that when it is said what diaphone is and what light is.

It should be noted that, according to some ancient beliefs, light was considered to be a body. On the other hand, as Democritus held, light was what flowed from a luminous body. And because what flows from a body is a body, he maintained that light was this. \"Since a body is the cause of phus in lra, if light were something flowing from the body, it would be a body itself, either water or fire or some other body whose presence mediates between the luminous body and the lights. Democritus imagined that light was nothing but the tiniest particles continuously flowing from the luminous body into the transparent body. Afterward, when he says, \"For neither is it possible for this position to exist,\" he divides this part into two parts. First, he proves that light is not a body. Second, he proves that there was no efflux of the body there and that it was not correct.\n\nRegarding the first point, he puts forth this argument: if light were a body, two bodies would be in the same place, which is impossible.\n\nAs for this argument, he proceeds as follows: because, as he puts it, it is impossible for two bodies to be in the same place. Second, he objects that if light were a body, two bodies would be in the same place.\" \"This is what Ibi sees. Quatuor also says that two bodies cannot be in the same place. Then Quatuor says, \"I see a light.\" He shows that if two bodies were light and light is diaphanous, and light and darkness are contrary, but darkness is also diaphanous and contrary to light and they are present together in the same place, therefore, and diaphanous is a body and light is similar to two bodies in the same place. This is what Lra says, \"that light sees contrary to darkness, the appearance of this light is in the diaphanous, why it is manifest that the appearance in diaphanous is like a phusis. Contraries are in the same thing, light and darkness, but darkness is not a body but a habit.\"\n\nNote that this reasoning could be formed in this way. Contrary to the contrary position, which is darkness, is not a body but a habit.\" formalis est lumen ex quo est presentia, sed lumen est contrarium tenebris, ergo non est corpus, sed magis est forma formalis ex quo est medium luminosum. Queret aliquis ut lumen sit corpus. Videtur quod sic. Quorum movi non est nisi corporibus et reflectitur. Sed lumina reflectuntur, ergo lumen est corpus. Ad oppositum est dictum phi. Dicendum est quod lumen non est corpus. Si lumen esset corpus, vel oporteret quod medium cederet vel duo corpora essent in eodem loco. Si medium cederet cum lumen sit corpus, sequitur quod duo corpora sint in eodem. Si autem medium cederet cum medium perspicit illuminet, oportet quod illud cedat. Quare sol oritur, oporteret quod in toto emisperio nihil remanet de aere, quod absurde est.\n\nAd argumentum dicendum est quod lumen reflecti et moueri vel introire vel exire est magis transumptive dictum quam proprie. Hoc lumini hoc movetur momentum non habet, et videtur movi de loco. This text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be a portion of a philosophical discussion. I will translate it into modern English and remove unnecessary formatting.\n\nThis is not about a locus unless it is a sudden illumination or alteration, not a local motion. To describe this alteration, we do not use names related to local motion because light does not move locally. When he says \"And it is not correct,\" he shows that this is not a withdrawal of bodies and that such motion and flux of bodies is in time. But illumination is in the instant, therefore darkness is not a withdrawal of bodies. For this reason, the philosopher adds nothing more than that illumination is in the instant, saying that Empedocles or whoever else did not speak correctly. He says that illumination is in time. If it were not in time, this succession would not be hidden from us.

If he says that light carries and extends the space that is between earth and the heavens and this succession is late for us, it is not true in reality and from an external reason. The succession, which is perhaps a continuous space, could hide us. The following text discusses the concept of succession, specifically the apparent delay of light and its source being from east to west. It argues that this cannot be outside of reason. It mentions Empedocles' observation of the succession being both illuminative and swift, leading to the question of whether illumination is a flow or a body. The text also mentions the figure of light being a body or a flow. Democritus held a contrary position, positing that the smallest bodies continuously flow from the luminous body. These bodies are luminous, and therefore, the illumination is stronger over them. Democritus' position was held by many. The first way is this: if two bodies are in the same place, the bodies are in a state of flowing if, therefore, they are in harmony and if one body yields to the other in sound, it follows that where one yields, there are multiple bodies. If it were said that these flowing bodies were received in the pores of the air, then say this: two originate. The former is that air, where it is not illuminated, is not the place where such bodies are received but is dissolved in the pores. The second origination is that, due to the dense air obstructing, the empty pores remain. The second way to understand this is that it is by nature motion: every body is determined by its form in such a way that it moves naturally. However, illumination is not a motion of any body but rather the generation of some quality. medio que quide\u0304 q\u0304litas generat ad de\u0304m diametru\u0304.

This rectitude includes the body that is air and nothing else, or if there are two bodies, air and radius, which are impossible to be together. Therefore, it is one body, the illuminated air. According to the second question, it is said that light is figured in a sphere. This does not prove that light is a body in its essence; it only proves that it imitates a body in which it is received. It is generated from the spherical body. However, the spherical figure that receives light does not prove that light is a body in itself; it only proves that it imitates a body in which it is received.\n\nTo the second question, one might ask: Does illumination occur in an instant, as Physis says? It seems not. There is a change in time. But illumination is a change, therefore illumination occurs in time. Furthermore, where there is a before and after, there is time. But light illuminates before the middle of the time {between} the two {parts}, therefore there is time.\n\nTo the opposite question: According to this, illumination is in the standing [state]. This text appears to be written in an ancient language, likely Latin or a Latin-derived language, with some errors and irregularities. Based on the given requirements, I will attempt to clean and translate the text as faithfully as possible to its original content.\n\nThe text reads: \"sicut dictum phusis quod quam proxima potentia ad proprium actum ex habitudine qua diaphonia ad lumen. Diaphonia vero ad lumen conperatur sicut proxima potentia propria actu. Hoc autem est dra inter remotam potentiam et proxima, quae potentia remota et indisposita per tempus et successione deducitur ad actum proximum et potentia statim in statu. Hec etiam via poteri aliiter deducere. Quelibet potentia activa requirit proprium possibile utus illuminatio in sole est potentia activa ergo requirit proprium possibile illuminabile. Homo autem est ipsum perspicuus diaphonia. Quod autem perspicuus diaphonia respondeat virtuti illuminatine hoc potest intelligi duobus modis. Unum quidem quia ipsa respondet sibi illuminabili et mediante ipsa respondet sibi secunda, ita quod prima perius illuminatur. Ipsa illuminata illuminat secundam. Hoc istam corroborationem posset videre alicui quod illuminatio esset successiva et in tempore nisi forte diceret quod idem idem statim esse.\"\n\nCleaned and translated text: \"According to nature, the nearest power, which by habit is drawn to the light, is drawn to it like the nearest power to its own act. This, however, is the way between the remote power and the near, which, being remote and unfavorable, is led by time and succession to the near power and immediately stands in its place. This way can also be explained differently. Every active power requires its own possible way to be illuminated in the sun; therefore, the active power requires its own illuminable. However, man himself is the one who perceives the sound. What the sound that is perceived responds to the illuminating power can be understood in two ways. First, the sound itself responds to the illuminable and, through itself, responds to the second, so that the first is illuminated before the second. The illuminated sound illuminates the second. This corroboration could be seen by someone as if illumination were successive and in time, unless it were said that they are the same and exist at the same time.\" The second and third parts illuminate and bring about the end. Another method of correction is this: the entire emanation reveals that illumination is the local end of motion. The local end of motion is here, therefore illumination is in this place. Immediately, with the sun existing in the eastern point, light is generated in the air. For it is imaginable that light is generated from the sun, since the sun is in some situation or aspect. The sun is not in any situation or aspect other than this one, because the aspect of the sun towards emanation is renewed continually. Therefore, light is generated in this place. The third way is this: if light were generated in a perceptible time, it would be necessary that such a body existed. If the time in which the sun moves in a perceptible degree existed. est multo magis motus luminis in toto emisperio debet esse perceptibilis. To the first argument, it is clear. An alteration that alters the air to become luminous marks the end of local motion. The end, as previously stated, is in the instant. Or it is said that the alteration of quality is contrary to the absence of contrary qualities in the same place. Light does not have a contrary.\n\nTo the second argument, it is said that in the generation of light, there is no prior or subsequent time, but if it is there before and after, it is a solution to the problem, or it is as stated in the question that no image is formed because the illuminating power responds to the whole illuminable with one response, without prior and posterior.\n\nThirdly, one might ask whether light is intentionally or really in the middle. It seems that it is really, not intentionally, as the intention does not denote the subject. in quo e\u0304: the light is not in intention alone, but in the subject where the light is, therefore the light is not in actuality in the midst of things. On the contrary, a real form is induced in matter through real transformation, but light does not induce a real form, unless it generates something beyond its own species, that is, celestial bodies induce real forms through light. Contrawise, a real form is induced in matter through real transformation, but light is induced through real transformation, unless such induction would require real time. It was proven in the preceding question that multiplication of light is in an instant. To this question, it must be said that light is in the middle of intension. This can be proven in three ways. First, light is in the middle and in the organ, so if light is real in the middle and real in the organ, it is not one and the same in the sense that it receives forms without matter, since it does not receive reality but intentionally. Second, the way to this: if light induces a real form in matter through real transformation, but light itself is induced through real transformation, unless such induction would require real time. It was proven in the preceding question that multiplication of light is in an instant. To this question, it must be said that light is in the middle of intension. This can be proven in three ways. First, light is in the middle and in the organ, so if light is real in the middle and real in the organ, it is not one and the same in the sense that it receives forms without matter, since it does not receive reality but intentionally. Second, the way to this: if a real form is induced in matter through real transformation, but light is induced through real transformation, unless such induction would require real time. Therefore, light is not a real form but is in the middle of intension. bandu\\_p\\_t accepts from the interaction of two qualities, not two real qualities of that same speech, but two intangible qualities p\\_n\\_t. Two white things placed contrary to each other produce similarities in appearance in the same point of air. However, there are more lights of that species p\\_n\\_t in the same point of air. Therefore, the light h\u017a is intentional.\n\nA third way to prove this is by dependence, since real qualities depend on their cause to come into being but not to exist. They can remain in absence of the generator. Heat in heated water remains after removal of fire. However, light generated in the middle from a lucid body depends on its cause for both coming into being and existing. Once the lucid body is removed, the light is immediately removed. From this it is argued that light in the middle is not real but rather weak and intentional.\n\nTo the first argument, it should be said that the intentional impression does not denote. subiectnm si sit debilis. si aute\u0304 sit fortis p\u0304t ip\u0304m de\u00a6noi\u0304are et ideo aer magis dicit lu\u2223cidus {quam} coloratus qr impressio lu\u2223cis forcior est {quam} impressio coloris. \u00b6Ad secu\u0304du\u0304 argumentu\u0304 dice\u0304du\u0304 est {quod} inteutio luminis no\u0304 transmu\u00a6tat realiter nec inducit forma\u0304 rea\u2223lem in virtute {pro}pria sed in utute solis cui{us} est quasi instrumentu\u0304\nESt aute\u0304 co\u00a6loris suscepti\u00a6uu\u0304 Post{quam} on\u0304dit phu\u0304s quid est color & quid est diapho\u00a6nu\u0304 hic on\u0304dit quo\u0304 se h\u0290 diacthonu\u0304 ad colore\u0304 & est inte\u0304tio sua {quod} diaphonu\u0304 de se nullu\u0304 h\u0290 colore\u0304. sed tm\u0304 est in pote\u0304cia vt recipiat omne\u0304 colorem & hoc est qd dicit phu\u0304s {quod} diaphonu\u0304 susceptiuu\u0304 est coloris .i. est in pote\u0304\u00a6cia ad omues colores & ldeo est si\u2223ne colore. sicut em\u0304 quod est suscep\u00a6tiuu\u0304 soni est absonnm \u00b7i. sine sono ita quod est susceptiuu\u0304 colo{rum} est fine colore sed diaphouu\u0304 est suscep\u00a6tiuu\u0304 colorum ergo diaphonu\u0304 caret colore et quia car\u0290 colore ideo de se est inuisibile.

In the same way, we say that atoms running in radii are invisible because they are hardly seen. Or something is called invisible: namely, if it is in no way perceived by sight, like darkness or smoky darkness. However, darkness itself is a dark thing, and this is when it is not in the act of being dark but rather in potentiality. Darkness is in act a clear thing, but in potentiality it is deprived of light. For there are three things concerning the nature of darkness. First, concerning its nature itself: darkness is in potentiality passive to colors. From this it follows that of itself it has no color. Concerning its potentiality, it is that which receives nothing from itself, for it receives nothing that is light. Therefore, all things that receive colors from it are deprived of color by nature, and so darkness is in potentiality to receive colors from itself, of itself having no color. What is the nature of darkness with respect to its rule? \"if it is not a sound in potency but is in potency proxima and adjacent to the potencia proxima, it immediately leads to the act in potencia in the presence of the agent. For the problem of diaphonus, if it is a passive potencia, it follows that it is in potencia ad lumen and ad tenebrae, just as druno is metaphysically. The passive potencia is towards contradictory things, for whatever potencia is passive from itself is towards act and therefore towards act and towards pauzione actus. Let us imagine, then, that just as matter itself is informed or joined to some form or is joined to the form, so air is from itself dark or in potencia ad lumen and from itself not that and the thing that is phus in lara is not the quod diaphonus is not actu lucidum but invisible, therefore we do not see inuisibilia. After determining what is e from the visible pmo\" This text appears to be in a highly corrupted form, likely due to OCR errors and other issues. It is difficult to clean the text without knowing the original language and context. However, based on the given requirements, it seems that the text is in Latin. Here is a tentative attempt at cleaning the text:\n\n\"Quisque qui in lumine videt, determinat se quidquid videt in tenebris. Est drus inter pumus visibile et secundus quod pumus visibile videt, id ipsum diaphono illuminatum et hoc quod color est motus diaphoni sine actu. Secundus autem visibile videt id tenebras, non quod tenebra faciat aliquid ad visibilitate illius, sed quia luciditas huic ante luce videtur, non propria pura, sed quia luciditas huic ante luce videtur, non nisi in lumine alieno. Quae autem funt, quae in lumine sunt visibilia, sed in tenebris ut illa quae durant ignea et luciditas et hec multa sunt nihil aut ignota, sicut putredines quercus et cornu quoddam aliae et capita quorumda aliae. Licet autem ista videantur in tenebris nullus tamen proprius color illis in tenebris videt.\"\n\nThis text appears to be discussing the nature of visibility and the difference between seeing things in light and in darkness. It suggests that colors are only visible in light, and that things that appear to be visible in darkness, such as burning wood and shining objects, are not truly visible but rather illuminated by some other light source. The text also mentions that no true color is visible in darkness, only the appearance of things that are already lit. However, the text is still quite corrupted and may require further cleaning or translation to fully understand. \"Lucecia in light appears not to be colored as she is when these things happen not to be in the presence of spectators. Someone might ask why these visible things appear to be invisible in light as Lucecia does. It is said that visible things are in three kinds: those that participate in light clearly and as they are in their own nature, such as bodies above the celestial sphere. Those that participate in light opaquely and vaguely are colored, but the color is not seen as light is obscured. Those that participate in light mediocrely are visible in obscurity. It is imagined that these visible things are something of light itself. But they are not in their own power, and because of their weakness, this light does not perfectly reduce them to act, since reduction to act is the nature of light. In such light, one does not see color of this kind or of another, but only light itself and therefore in darkness.\" \"Although weakness of sight allows us to see faint things in the presence of greater light. This faint light is obscured from the greater light of perception and Io does not appear to be such faint things in the greater light, under a veil. Although it is weak and such is the case in these deceptive appearances. Dein furthermore showed that Nucius manifested this through what mode the visible could be seen and made two things apparent, which are similar in appearance and other senses there. The same is true of sound. First, it is divided into two. For what appears colored is removed there as an error. Democritus does not say this thirdly, that it appears bright there, but fire is.\n\nTo make things clear, it should be noted that from the primary visible thing, there is a color that appears to be illuminated in the diaphane. Secondly, from its source, it moves both in the medium and through the medium and divides it into two parts, which are placed in front of it. Secondly, it follows there.

Color emim suum esse materiale, non ponit immediate agere in organum visus propter improportionem que est inter colorem ut est in materia et color ut hoc est spirituale et ipsum quod color proportionetur.

Non enim bene hoc dicit. excludit errorem Democriti et tria facit. Primo ponit hoc errorem. Secundo illud excludit. Tertio concludit totam precedente. Secunda ibi.\n\nHoc impossibile est\u00b7 Tertia ibi.\n\nPropter quid quidem igitur causam. Primo ergo recitat hoc errori dicere quod Democritus non bene dixit. Opinatus enim fuit quod si medium, quod est inter rem visam et oculum, esset vacuum, potest videri visibile quantumcumque per quacunque distanciam, ita quod si formica esset in caelo, adhuc posset videre.\n\nQuereret aliquis.\n\nVnde poterat moveri Democritus dicere quod in vacuo posset videre visibile quantumcumque et ad quacunque distancia. Dicendum est quod Democritus imaginabatur. Quod medium impediret visum. \"This did not please the sight in the diaphone, for there were many empty pores in it, through which in the diaphone the sight would not become clear as it is in a full body. Because this body obstructs the way of sight, and if sight were to be extruded, as Democritus posited, who posited that sight is an active power. Therefore, Democritus could argue thus. The body in the middle obstructs the action of sight. If then the body is removed from the middle, sight will become quicker. \"He further says. This is impossible. He refuted Democritus on this point. To this evidence it is to be noted that the physical principle on which he refutes Democritus is based on two foundations. The first foundation is that sight does not see without being pacified by the visible and receiving something. The reason for this foundation is that to see is to feel. Therefore, to see is to feel something. The second foundation is that sight does not see without being received and not being extruded.\" From the given text, it appears to be in Latin. Here's the cleaned version:\n\n\"Quod immediatas pati materiales ex quo relinquit, quod paciat a medio et mediocre a re visible. Ex his fundamentis arguitur: posito vacuo tollit corpus medium, si autem tollitur corpus medium, tollitur passio. Si autem tollitur passio, tollitur visio; quare in vacuo nulla est visio. Quod dicit Democritus est impossibile, cuius rogum est videre, quod sensus aliquid paciat. Impossibile est autem sensus visus immediate pati ab ipso visibili. Relinquit ergo quod immediate patitur ab ipso medio. Necesse est ergo aliquid medium in visu et corpore visibile, quod medium si non esset removeret nichil videt in lumine. Dein quid ergo? Propterquam coneludit totam precedentem dicens: 'Iam dicit Democritus, propterquam necesse est colore videre in lumine.' Dein quid? Ignis autem ondit quid videt ignis et corpora lucida dicunt: 'Ignis et corpora lucida non solum in lumine, sed etiam in tenebris ecce videtur.' \"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"From the immediate material things that follow, what is felt from the middle and moderately visible. From these foundations it is argued: if an empty space is posited, the body in the middle is removed, and if the passion is removed, the vision is removed. Therefore, there is no vision in a vacuum. What Democritus says is impossible, for whose sake is it asked what one can see, since the sense of sight is pacified by something. It is impossible for the sense of sight to be immediately affected by the visible thing itself. Therefore, what immediately feels from the middle is left. It is necessary, therefore, that there is something medium in sight and a visible body, for if it were not removed, it would see nothing in the light. But what then? Therefore, he who was preceding said: 'Democritus says that it is necessary to see in color in the light.' But what then? Fire, however, shows what it sees: 'Fire and bright bodies are not only seen in the light, but also in darkness.' \" \"Although it happens by necessity that fire, from its own light, puts an end to the soundness of the eyes so that they cannot bear the greater light, as it happens in those things that are mentioned. Some wish to make this evident. In order that it may be seen, since nothing visible can be larger than the capacity of the eye's acuity, nor is the light to them weaker which obstructs a greater light, as it happens in those things that are mentioned. They wish to make this evident. If the sight is from this, that something presses against the eye, it sees nothing visible that is larger than the quantity that the eye's acuity can see, or it does not see what presses against the visible as larger than itself. Furthermore, if the sight is from this, that something presses against the eye, things appear double to the eyes, or two forms are sealed in one eye and another in the other. Two apparently distinct things are made to appear.\n\nOn the contrary, Democritus speaks against this, saying that sight is from this, that the seer is affected in the middle by the thing to be seen. To this question, it is asked what it is that we see from this, that\n\" aliquid impemit oculo, ut duae difficultates in argumeto notae sunt. Pumus quod notandum est, quod corpus visibile videt sub triangulo cuus trianguli basis est revissa, conus aut angulus est in oculo. Sit res visa.\n\na.b. et oculus c. Ergo una linea ab a in c et alia a b in c fit, ergo quid triangulus qui vocatur a b c, cuius trianguli basis e est a b, ponitur res visa. Conus aut angulus est c in quo cono pono oculum.\n\nEx hac disposito sic facta, prazes solvit prima difficultas.\n\nLiber res visa sit majori quantitate quam pupilla, quam occulus videt sub pedica figura res visible vel immutabilis proportione litera diminuendo venit ad oculum, ita immutatio oculi sit in puncto i quo concluduntur lineae radiales sine latera trianguli, nulla ergo quod esset maius oculo possit videre, quia certum est quod sic quantitas illa potest videre et concludi infra latera huius trianguli. Sic puma. difficulties. If a thing is not distinguishable, it is difficult to distinguish two things where one is to be added, because the obstinate nerve in the front part of the cerebrum makes you receive forms as if they were two. This nerve, which is called obtuse, is located under that which discerns, and therefore one sees one thing as two and two as one. If judgment were made about a visible thing, two appearances would have to appear to two eyes for one thing to be seen as two, as the argument stated. But judgment is made in the obtuse nerve where the two forms meet, and the one form is seen as one, not following the duality of forms depicted in two eyes, but rather the union of two forms in the obstinate nerve.\n\nSecondly, someone might ask about vision being under an angle. It is to be said that this is because a larger thing appears smaller when it is closer and a smaller thing appears larger when it is farther away. The text appears to be written in Latin and contains some errors likely due to OCR processing. Here's the cleaned version:\n\n\"Contingit quod iudicium de quantitate rei fit, an quantitas anguli qui concludit in angulo, ille aangulus quam propinquior est cui visus tantum maior est, quanto auferrius a re visa est, tanto minor est. Quanto latera trianguli vel piramidis sunt longiora, tantum eadem basis, tanto angulus est minor et idem res prope visa videt maioris quaestitatis longe aute visa videtur minoris.\n\nExemplum in figura ad tabulam signum sit res visibilis AB. Ergo lineam ab A in D et aliam lineam AB in D ponam oculum D, quod videt rem visibilem scilicet AB sub angulo D. Iterum ducam lineam AC et lineam BC et ponam oculum C, quod videt rem visibilem scilicet AB sub angulo C. Quod istus angulus est propinquior rei visae quam angulus D, id sub isto angulo scilicet C videt rem maior quam sub D.\n\nTercio quisque quaeret. Ex quo res visibilis videtur sub angulo, quare remota distantia impedit visionem. Dicendum est, quod aliter ad hanc quaestionem Democritus diceret, quam diceret physica. Putavit enim.\" Democitus: The distance that impedes vision is the cause of its resistance to change and why, the greater the distance, the greater the resistance. This resistance is not sufficient for the power of the visible object to change the medium, which is between the object and the eye and impedes sight. Therefore, if the medium is removed, so that a vacuum is created, a visible object can be seen at any distance. Even an ant could be seen in the sky. However, what Democritus said is false in several ways. The first way is that the medium does not resist the visible change in any way. The medium is in the last position for the reception of visible intentions, whether it is the intention of color or light, and it resists nothing. The second point missing in Democritus' statement is that if there is no vacuum, there can be no vision. Therefore, Democritus would have said that Phus or distance impedes vision to such an extent that there could be a distance so great that a visible object could not be seen. The ratio is this: just as it has been said, a visible thing comes to the eye under certain radial lines which enclose it in the eye; these radial lines converge and intersect the more they proceed from the visible thing and are farther away from it. It is possible that they converge and intersect before reaching the eye, and thus the thing is not seen at all. If a thing is not seen except under the angle that is made in the eye, and if an angle is made and the thing is not in the eye, it will not be seen. In the fourth place, one may ask why. From this it follows that the size of the angle under which vision takes place determines whether some people cannot see a thing unless it is far from the eye. The ratio of these two things is taken from the proportions that should be between the visible thing and the eye. Those who cannot see a visible thing unless it is far from the eye.

It's possible that they converge and intersect before reaching the eye, preventing the thing from being seen. If a thing is not seen except under the angle formed in the eye, and if an angle is formed and the thing is not in the eye, it won't be seen. In the fourth place, one may ask why. From this it follows that the size of the angle under which vision takes place determines whether some people cannot see a thing unless it is far from the eye. The ratio of these two things is taken from the proportions that should exist between the visible thing and the eye. Those who cannot see a visible thing unless it is far from the eye. The ratio is this: because the eyes are weak and the color which is \"The incorporation of too much [something] near is harmful to the eye and scatters its power, therefore the eye does not see such a thing unless it is brought to a certain point for clear vision, requiring the power to be united and dispersed. If, however, the visible logos is weak before this eye due to distance, the power of the eye is proportioned to it and does not scatter it, and then the thing is seen distinctly as it is. However, some who are looking backwards cannot see a visible thing unless it is very close to the eye, because they have strong and thick eyes, and the visible thing cannot penetrate to the inner part of the eye unless it is very close. If, moreover, the visible thing is far from such an eye, the species of the visible thing is distinctly sealed on the outer part of the eye and, because it is weakly sealed, it indistinctly and confusely reaches the inner parts of the eye, and therefore things that are so distant appear indistinctly and confusely to us. Furthermore, when he says the same thing applies to other senses.\" \"Just as in appearance and firstly, this makes it so. Secondly, it shows what the middle is in other senses there. The middle is defined. Quantum et primum, it says that the same ratio is for a dream and for a smell, as for color. For just as color is placed above sight, none of these is sensed if placed above the sense. But from smell and sound, the middle is moved. The middle moves both organs of sense, hearing and smell. If someone places a body of smell or a sounding body before the senses, it is not sensed, and it is similar in taste and touch. Then, Medium says, what is the middle in these senses? It says that what is moved by sound is air. The middle that is moved by smell is something common in air and water, but which of these is the middle that is moved by color. It moves both hot and cold, what is called the diaphonic sm. The common passion of air and water that is moved by smell is unnamed, for they are not moved by smell with a sm that\" \"The diaphonous ones [are moved] not more by water than by air, because of the smell of perfume from water. Living beings that are aquatic have a sense of smell. From this it is manifest that water is moved by the smell. Secondly, regarding the smell, man and other walking animals do not smell except by breathing air. Therefore, it is manifest that air is a medium in the sense of smell. The reason for this will be explained later. It should be noted that no passion follows two subjects over because of some common property that they have in common, unless they are intermingled in odor for air and water, because of some property or power that nature has in common with them, just as it has in common with clarity and color. However, clarity is found to be clearer in a clearer body, or in inferior elements, water and air. This nature, which is called phusis, is found in these elements, water and air.\" Postquam phys determined this, that moves the visible, here determines the sound which moves the audible, and divides this into two parts, per phys for the prime matter of sound.

Furthermore, to the diversity of bodies corresponds the diversity of sounds. One sound is produced by iron, another by silver. The sound is seen in that which produces it. Furthermore, a sound is heard in it when it strikes, for example, a bell or something similar.\n\nOn the contrary, there is something in the case of a drum. In response to this question, it is said that there is something in two ways in any given thing: one virtually, the other formally. We say that forms extracted from one material have not previously existed in agents, but these forms are in the material as motions. However, they have not previously existed in agents virtually but formally in the material.\n\nTo what has been proposed, I say that the sound in the bodies producing sound is virtual in the case of a bell or an erect object. We imagine that, just as a thing is potentially active in the middle, it is formally and in actuality what it is to be in act with the form present. Let us suppose that the smith strikes the air with the hammer, and the struck hammer runs to the sound in the instant it strikes the air and does not easily allow it to be broken, and therefore the smith and the hammer both run to the sound as an active force of sound. From this it follows that sound is in them as in a cause and as in agents, not as in a subject. Air, however, runs to the sound, just as a body that is easily broken and therefore, just as the fracture is in the subject and in the medium, so is the sound. We should understand that sound is either itself the fracture of the rarefied and dense bodies or submits to the fracture. In whatever subject the fracture is, there is sound, and because the fracture is in the medium, there is sound there.\n\nTo the argument that asked what potency and act are, it was said that:\n\nVerum est de potentia et actu. potentia passiva quae fit actus. cuius est fieri eius est forma & actus qui term natum ipsum fieri. Ineam est hoc verum de potentia activa, que facit actum, non est necessarium quod in eodem sit poeta activa que educit actum, et actus qui edutus est. Sunt autem diversi, poeta activa est in agente, actus autem qui edutur est in passo. Nec est autem quod sonus est in corporibus sonantibus aut percucetibus causaliter et virtualiter, et sicut in potentia actuae, ideo nec operor hoc quod eodem corpore sit sonus formaliter, sed non actu, sed solum quod sonus formaliter in actu sit in proprio potentiali. Proprium autem potentiae soni est corpus, quod de facili frangitur, tale est medium.\n\nAd secundum argumentum dicendum est quod diversitas effectus non solvitur diversitate causae materialis, sed causis efficacibus, ideo diversitas soni potest provenire ex diversitate corporum percusiencium. In order to argue precisely, it is stated that a campana or something similar in a human ear cannot be heard unless there is a sound, but the sound is caused by the impact and the resulting sound follows. The sound may be the impact itself or some quality caused by the impact.\n\nHowever, it is also stated that it becomes a thing that actually is. After consumption, it is stated that the sound is in some potential thing here, and it generates a sound in this way. He divided this into two: the first determines the simple generation of sound, the second determines the generation of sound that comes from rubbing or reflection. Echon aute fits.\n\nThe first determines how many things converge to make a sound in action. The second determines what qualities are present there. As we have previously said. Therefore, the first determines how many things converge for the generation of sound,\n\nTo this evidence it is notable that for the generation of sound, both the striker and the struck medium converge. Since the striker and the struck medium both converge, the impact is either the cause of the sound or is the sound itself. \"for anyone who cooks a certain struck object, which requires my continued presence for a while, there is no local motion without a medium. local motion is not without middle. When they have seen the struck object and the thing struck, it is always the medium that produces the sound. The striking requires both the striker and the struck object. It is impossible for one to be without sound. In general, among high-pitched sounds, it is the medium or the striker that produces the sound, not the Sona_s, when it strikes a certain struck object and produces a sound in some medium. Whoever touches the Sona_s produces a sound and does not do so without motion. It runs towards the sound medium and follows the motion of the middle \u00b6Some may argue that sound is nothing other than the indication of the medium.\" percipiatur. A sound is received by the ear itself, receiving a sound through hearing. A motion or stirring is perceived by many senses. Furthermore, those things that are harsh and harsh to the ear are both the motion and the sound, and they are acute and sharp. Motion and sound are swift and slow. Acute is not the same as swift, but rather it is caused by the swiftness of motion. Nor is slow the same as heavy, but rather it is caused by the slowness of motion.\n\nSecondly, someone might ask, \"What kind of sound is attached to local motion?\" They answer this way. Which sound is it that is continuously being made? If it is continuously being made over what, then it is generated in them.\n\nGenera\u0304s autem ip\u0304m est motus violentus, qui fit ex ictu percucie\u0304tis corpus solidum et planum. Formae autem que magis sunt in fieri quam in facto semper continuantur, ita ut generans semper in eis. manet et in absencia generantis statim tendunt ad novo ee ee formae, in quo est sonus. Sonus enim magis est in fieri quam in fixo ee, et io semper hoc secuit aliquid generatis, puta motu mediij. Forma autem que hoc fixa et per manens pnt hr ee cessante motu.\n\nDein cu dt. Sicut aut diximus, postquam dixit quot requireretur ad generatione soni. Hic ostendit quae sunt que requirerent ad soni generatione et duo facit quod primo obduxit quae sunt percuscentis et percussum secundum obduxit quod oporteret esse medium ibi. Amplius autem in aere auditu est.\n\nQuatuor ad primum dt quod sonus non fit ex percussione quorumcumque corpora pili et spongia et similia corpora mollia nulla faciunt sonum, nisi percuscat cuius ratio ia dicta est, quia resisit sonus autem causat ex ictu percuscentis et resistencia percussi. Es autem et quecumque corpora lenia et coeca ex sua percussione faciunt sonum. Es quidem facit. \"Although it is soft, the cocyx creates sound because air is trapped within it and the air, which cannot immediately escape, strikes other air through such impact, causing multiple strikes and an amplification of sound. It should be noted that the body produces sound due to the impact on hard and solid bodies, as air must be excluded for sound generation. Air is not excluded from hard and solid bodies. Soft bodies retain air more readily than they expel it. Secondly, the bodies that generate sound should be soft, for sound should be generated in a single excluded air space in contact with a hard body. In a soft body, due to its unity and equality of surface, there is one air. Thirdly, the coccyx produces a good sound because, when the expelled air is contained and not allowed to exit, turbulent air causes many impacts. The coccyx also trembles on one side due to the impact on the other side and produces such a tremor.\" The text appears to be in Latin and contains no meaningless or unreadable content. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nThe tremor keeps the sound long retained. Deinon says Amplius speaks thus in the air. He hears what is in the middle in hearing, that the sound in the air and water is less audible in water than in the air, but that is disposed thus. Neither in the one in which the sound is heard nor in any sensible quality of the senses does it have the power to receive all [of it]. Neither air nor water has its own sound but sound is generated in them. In order to generate sound in them, it is necessary that bodies be firm, i.e., solid and hard, and be struck against each other. This is how air remains in its integrity, so that it may be percussed and not divided or solved before percussion. If it is struck before percussion, no sound is produced. For air is very divisible, and if someone strikes it violently, it will produce sound. If someone strikes a hard stone rapidly before it is dissolved, it produces sound, but only if it does not happen late. moueatur. Notandu est quod sic imaginares in aere, sicut in aqua. Si quis emens baculum paulatim in aquam, non resistit ei aqua, sed dividitur fortiter aut et velociter ducens baculum per aquam, resistere et moueri idem est in aere. Si aer tardum motu movetur, non facit sonum, quia aer prius recedit et dissolvetur quam fit contactus solidorum. Ita divisio aeris praeventit ictum percutientis. Si autem fortiter movetur aer, hoc movimento praeventitur ab ictu percutientis, unde odiosus et collectus bene recipit sonum, ex quo contingit quod quidquid velociter movet in aere, sive quis fortiter percutit solum aere, fit sonus, quia aer adunatus non soluit se in rono mediocri, sed ecce in rono percussi. Notandu est in generacione soni, quod secundum repercussione corpora plana ex qua percussione percutitur aer. Aer percussus. percutit one thing another. While he did so, some part of the air between the striking and the struck object contracted and, being violently compressed, expelled and produced a sound. Therefore, if someone placed one body upon another quite flatly, there would be no sound, because the air, without violence, would not yield, but would yield only when struck directly by the impact of the air, which is swift enough to prevent the fracture of the air. He then says, \"Echon is at hand.\" After this comes the explanation of the second kind of sound, which is produced by reflection. He divides this into two parts. For the first part, it is to be noted that the sound is not produced in the air in such a way that the air, which expels the sound from the striking object, moves itself singularly until it strikes the object upon which the sound is produced. In a strike, the sound produced in a body is similar to the one produced in water when a stone is thrown into it. The waves caused by the strike circulate around the water, and the force is strong near the point of impact. However, in remote areas, the waves are larger and the force is weaker. The figure is roughly spherical or almost spherical, whose center is the point of impact or the resonating body produces sound in a circle due to the expulsion of air equally from that place. The generation of sound occurs in a circle, making it possible to hear it at any point in the air. This text appears to be written in an ancient Latin or Latinized script, with some errors and abbreviations. Based on the context, it seems to be discussing the generation of circular motion and sound waves. Here is the cleaned text:\n\ncuius remotio a percuciente est eadem, ita quod omnis percussio habet spem terminetam et consequens remotione et distanciam terminetam. Tercio notandum est, quod sic in circulationibus aeris ex quibus causat motus, sicut in regulationibus aquae, ex percussione aquae, ut dictum est, generantur circuli in circuitu aquae percussi. Hic autem circuli, si inueniant obstaculum, reflectuntur. Eodem modo est ex percussione corporum solutium generantur circuli in aere, quibusdam circulis si inueniant obstaculum reuertuntur et reflectuntur in contrarium. Ex hoc quod sic reuertur et ecce reflectuntur auditor sonus ex aduso et quasi iterat quidquid iteratum soni vocatur echon. Ita imaginabimur, quod generat sonus ex diffusione circulorum. Secundo autem, ex reflexione ne eorum et quid motus diffusionis similis est motui reflexionis, ideo sonus qui vocatur echon similis est sermo soni. Hic visis ptzh lrha qd echon fit cu ab aere uno et continuo facto motu. iteum air is repelled by a vessel or obstacle determining and preventing it from diffusing and advancing further. This air does not spread out but reflects the motion in a contrary manner, as happens in a ball. If someone throws a sphere against an obstacle, it is reflected and rebounded. It should be noted that even if the obstacle could be pierced by the sphere, the body obstructing the air flow is a body in contact, as if it were a vessel containing and confining the air and not allowing it to divide itself. This air, so motivated and united, strikes the iteum with the force of a blow and it is thus the physical property of the obstacle that determines and prevents the air from diffusing.\n\nDein. However, it is seen always. It is noted that what is always present is not always certain and manifest. To this evidence there are three things to be noted. The first is that what is present is audible. The text appears to be written in Latin with some errors. Here's the cleaned version:\n\n\"Sonus iteratus semper fit quod aer motus propter obstaculum reflectit in contrarium, et ista reflexio semper est, licet non sit nota et certa, iocum quod lumen semper reflectitur et recipit. Cuius signum est, nisi lumen recipet et reflectet, nihil videt extra illud locum quem respicit sol. Licet tamen semper lumen reflectatur, reflexio duplex est. Quedam reflexio fortis quae fit a corpore terso et polito et levi. Nam si radii solares incidant in corpus aliiquod lene et tersum, reflectit lumen ex qua reflexione causat quidam splendor, qui quasi adeo lucidus sicut locus illus qui aspicit sol. Secundum est quedam reflexio, quae debilis quidem, non facit splendore, sed umbra et haec reflexio debilis non fit ab corporibus politis et tersis, sed ab corporibus opacis.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"A sound wave is always formed when air motion is reflected against an obstacle, and this reflection is always present, although not always noticeable or certain. The sign of this is that light is always reflected and received. What is the sign of this, unless light is reflected and received, nothing is seen outside that place which faces the sun. However, even though light is always reflected, the reflection is twofold. One reflection is strong, which comes from a clean and polished body and is weak. When the solar rays fall on a soft and smooth body, they cause a certain brightness, which is as bright as the place that faces the sun. The second reflection is weak, which does not cause brightness, but a shadow and this weak reflection is not produced by polished and clean bodies, but by opaque ones.\" Contingent lumen reflecti quod reflexio facit umbra ex directa emissione radiorum, nisi in umbra et aliqul reflexio lucis nullus potest legere in nocte. Hoc est quod dras inter tenebras et umbrae, tenebrae potuit lucere, non facit umbra. Tercius quod notandum est, quod simile est in reflexione luminis et soni, sicut reflexio luminis est duplex, ita et reflexio soni. Est queda reflexio soni fortis et manifeste comprehensibilis, et hoc reflexio fit qua sonus repercutitur ad aliqul concavum, et ex tali reflexione generatur echon certus et manifestus sequendo. Quedam reflexio debilis, qua aer motus reflectitur et repercutitur a corporibus quae non sunt nati multiplicare sonum, incertus et inmanifestus. Intelligendum est etiam quod, sicut generatio lucis est duobus modis, una que est directa emissione radiorum, alia autem que est ex reflectione radiorum, ita et motus circulorum. The sound is produced in two ways. It is either the motion of diffusion and the motion of reflection. The air is set in motion by being struck in a circle and is also diffused. If it encounters an obstacle, it reflects and appears to be always becoming something, but it is not always clear or manifest. This occurs in sound, as it does in light. In light, light is always reflected unless it is struck, and the light is not completely extinguished but there is darkness outside the light source. However, the reflection and refraction are not always so strong as that reflection which comes from water or air or copper or another body. There is also a weak reflection which makes a shadow, that is, a shadow is formed where the light is terminated when it is emitted in a direct line from the sun's rays.\n\nIt should be noted that from the generation of circles that were formed in the air due to the impact of corporeal bodies, there are three things in contact. In the first place, a sound is heard to circulate around, as a sphere's body resonates from its center. A circle is formed by the explanation of the air equalizing from that center. Secondly, the certainty and less certainty of the reception of the sound depends on the proximity to the point of impact. If the circular rules are smaller and the motion is stronger, the sound is more quickly perceived. Conversely, in remote places further from the point of impact, the rules are larger and the motion is weaker, resulting in less certain perception of the sound in remote places. Thirdly, if there is a solid and rough or high barrier facing these circulations, the circulations are reflected towards the primary sound and the sound is reflected accordingly, making the echo nothing other than the reflected sound.\n\nUacuu\u0304 or Post[quam]\n\nPhysics determines the generation of this sound here, and now determines its modification from the sound and divides it into two. That is all. \"determinat quod sonorus hoc immutare medium. secundo quod hoc immutare organus auditus ibi.

Primum quod aer motus qui movet auditu sit unum et continuum. Secundum quod requiritur sequidem unum et continuum corpus quod percutitur sit lenum et non aspersum In corpore emle propter unitatem et equalitatem superficiei aer unum est\" continu. With this seen, the air that you see, which is vacuous and appears before your face, moves one and continues to do so, not because of what the air is, which is fragile and brittle, and does not sound unless it is soft and struck gently. The softness comes from the equality of the plane and surface of the air that is continuous and becomes one expulsion. The surface of the plane forms one shape of expelled air and is able to expel it, because of the expulsion of air. However, since the hard parts are sounding, they are hard enough to expel the air effectively. The soft parts do not expel it but rather retain it. Reason or method requires that the hard parts sound regularly and softly. These are in the body and soft, and the body sounds well because of the smoothness of its surface struck. In a hard body, one part is more prominent than another and is therefore struck by the other. And even among its roughnesses, air is not expelled. The body sounds well because of the smoothness of its surface struck. quia simul et uniformiter aer expellitur a talia superficie, simul fit expulsio aeris percussi. Some say that regular and smooth bodies are required for this reason. For aer is not expelled in any manner to make a sound, but the expelled air must resilience like a ball struck by the ground. When one flat body strikes another flat body, the struck body does not yield. Instead, it makes the air jump and resilience with some violence. For if a ball is not yielded to when struck by the ground, it is necessary that the ball resilience and jump. Then, what does Auditus say? He explains how the appearance is changed. Wherever the appearance is changed, because the sound immutates the natural air and this is divided into three parts. First, it shows that in us the air is connatural, which is immuted by the sound. Second, it declares what kind of exterior air is immuted there. Third, it declares what kind of interior air is moved by the exterior air there. This is all. The text appears to be written in an ancient Latin script. I will translate it into modern English while removing unnecessary symbols and formatting.\n\nFirst, I will provide the translation:\n\n\"For the first time, it puts two [things] together. The second concludes that, with this, in the conclusion, because he who is. Therefore, it places that which is in us, an natural air which moves, if it were to become audible and this, that an natural air is in the ear, is so similar to water and moisture, the instrument of sight is similar to the audible air, since from this it follows that, just as sound is in the exterior air, the natural air which is beneath, moves from the exterior air and, through this motion, receives sound. It is worth noting that the natural air holds a place in the ear and is in the tympanum of the ear. I call the tympanum of the ear the nerve of hearing which expands in the interior of the ear and is struck by the air, making it audible. This air is continuous and natural to the exterior air, and the motion of the exterior air moves this inner air and this motion moves the auditory nerve.\"\n\nThen, I will clean the text:\n\nFor the first time, it puts two things together.

Per se quide\u0304 igit. on\u0304dit qualis est aer ex\u00a6terior The text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the properties of air and sound. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"dicens [quod] aer exterius per se et de se est insonabilis quodque facile cessibilis est, vero prohibet iste aer defluere et moventes sunt humi motus vel est sonus vel ad ipsum sequitur sonus. Recipies debet esse denudatum a natura, ut aer possit recepere omnes sonos de se nulli fonte et hoc est quod phusica natura aer insonabilis est. Aer enim facile cedit quia per se non natum est resistere percusso. Generatio soni resistentiam et resilientiam requirit, ideo philosophus in libris [quod] aer per se est insonabilis, cujus ratio est quia faciliter cedit. Autem aether ex percussione corporis solidi fit resistencia, causat sonum.\n\nQuereret ergo aliquis. Quid dicat in libris [quod] aer per se insonabilis et hoc quare potest esse quod virga in aere absque aliis corporibus faciat sonum.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"He says that exterior air, by its own nature and itself, is inaudible and easily compressible. But this air prevents itself from flowing and the movements within it are either sound or are followed by sound. The receiver should be bare in nature, so that air can receive all sounds from no source. And this is why the natural property of air is insensible to sound. Air yields easily because it was not born to resist. The generation of sound requires some resistance and resilience, so the philosopher in the books says that air is insensible to sound by nature, because it yields easily. However, aether from the impact of a solid body becomes resistance and causes sound.\n\nOne might ask. What does he say in the books that air, being insensible to sound by nature, can produce sound when a rod is struck in it without other bodies?\" \"Virga congregatur et repleat scissura ne vacua sit. Virga moveta per aere scindit iptes ater scisse congregantur. Si virga lente movet et lente attrahit ater, et quare lente attrahit nulla fit resistencia. Et si nulla fit resistencia nullus fit motus. Si autem uga velociter movet, petes aeris quad velocitate attrahantur et congregetur propter quam forte attractione densitateque densas facit quondam resistencia ex qua causat motus. Aer autem de se insondabilis est nisi contingit in aere per velocitatem motus fieri quondam quando resistencia quae resistencia sit causa soni. Pero aer per se sine alio corpus potest care sonus et quomodo. Dein hic est in auribus. Ondit qualis est aer interior et dividit hoc in tres. Primo ondit qualis est aer interior.

Ontdit ergo pmo qualis est hic aer quam imobilis et iu dit in lra quod hic aer consitutionalis auditu edificatus est. Iu aut est immobilis ut possit sentire per certitudine oes dras motus.

Opperat hoc aut corrupit aere consitutionali corrumpit auditus. Ergo hic aer consitutionalis necessarius est auditui. Et hoc quod in aqua audimus ita ductus est. aqua non ingrediatur ad ipsum aer naturali, sed neque ingrediatur in aurem, quod impedit introitu aque in aurem, unless the reflection prevents it. If water contains something that causes it to enter the ear, the earwax or other substances surrounding it may hinder hearing, just as the earwax covering the eardrum impedes vision if it becomes corrupted. It is notable that the nature of the ear's hard lateral surface allows it to be easily cleansed, while the hard lateral surface of the same ear makes it expand so that it can hold sound. The ear has curved foramen auris to prevent air from escaping and becoming corrupted. This is what the ear means by it being possible for water not to enter that aer naturali, through reflections and connections. It is possible for the air to be impeded. naturales are saved in water and because it is possible for us to be saved in water. It is noted that from the words \"phi hic dictis,\" it is held that air is more propinquous to sound than water, the reason being that a healthy person is saved by healthy air and corrupted by corrupt air. However, this is not the case with water, for if water enters the place of natural air, it will not produce an inner air that can be moved by sound. Furthermore, he says. But there is a sign. It is noted that the inner air that is in the ear is distinguished from exterior air and makes distinct movements from exterior movements. This is evident when one can touch the ear. The air in the ear, opposed by the hand, makes many reflections and many repercussions, causing the ear to seem to resonate like a horn. Therefore, this sound should be a sign for us that in our ears there is air distinguished from exterior air. The distinct sound of this exterior air and the absence of such sound in it, is like that of a horn. This air appears to move by its own motion, yet this motion does not hinder the motion of exterior air or perception of sound, for the sound is an external motion to this air and not its own. It is to be noted that the motion of the interior air does not hinder the perception of sound. Furthermore, although the air is not so dense that it can hinder some movements of exterior air, and the sound is not from its own motion but rather from an external one. Understand that, just as an organ of touch is not deprived of all sensible qualities but rather deprived of those it perceives, so too is the natural air interior not deprived of all motion but rather of those it receives. In this text, the Latin words are discussing the generation of sound. The question at hand is whether the striking (verberans) or the struck (verberatum) is the active cause of sound. The text also mentions that a sound follows the motion of the body that produces it, and that the struck object resists and rebounds, much like a spring from soft or hard bodies. If someone were to strongly strike or push it, the striking object will move and the struck object will resist, causing it to rebound. The resistance in this motion, which causes sound, is present throughout the motion from which the sound is produced. resilico and therefore I am a body that strikes and causes sound when I am struck. In the generation of a dream, the body, when cut, is regular and disposed in such a way that air suddenly resilts, causing sound from the resilience. It should be noted that the sentence is brief, for even the striker and the struck or the one striking and the one being struck contribute to the generation of sound in a similar way. The striker contributes like breaking the air. The struck one responds like making the air itself resilte and jump, just as pitch is struck and bounces back to the earth, and air resilts and jumps back due to its regularity and the lack of yielding of the body being struck.\n\nThen he says, \"Drycia or Sonancius.\" After this, the sound here is called drycia or sonancius, and it is divided into three. Regarding these drycia in relation to sound, the second says that they were received by others because of their similarity. This is what he says. discutur. tercio komperat has drnicias ad drnicias motus ibi. Nec tamen velox. Primo ergo ondis phus quod drnicie sonorum non sunt sine son. Dicens drnicie aut sonantiae onduntur .i. in sonactu facto. Sicut enim colores non vident sine lumine, ita acutum et gravia drnicium corporum sonantiae non manifestantur sine suon.\n\nQuereret aliquis quid est verum, quod dicit phus acutum et gravia non manifestantur sine sonactu. Dicendum est quod acutum et gravia manifestari idem est quod auditum et graviter auditum pendit. Tunc emendum est acutum et gravia manifestari quia auditu pendunt. Acutum autem nisi quia est quidam sonus factus in actu et coeat gravia. Dum emendum est acutum et gravia causaliter.\n\nTranslation:\n\ndisputed. The third comes with harsh sounds against harsh sounds there. Not even swift. In the first place, the nature of things says that the harsh sounds of the harsh bodies do not exist without sound. They say that the harsh sounds manifest in sound, that is, they perform their factual acoustic activity. Just as colors are not seen without light, so the harsh sounds of the bodies do not manifest without sound.\n\nOne might ask what is true when nature says that harsh and heavy sounds do not manifest without sound. It must be said that to manifest harsh and heavy is the same as to be heard and to be heard gravely. Then it must be corrected that harsh and heavy manifest only when they are heard. However, acutum (harsh) cannot move the hearing unless there is some sound made in actu (reality) and coetus (gathering) of gravia (heavy). While it must be corrected that harsh and heavy are causally. virtualiter in their causes do not move in response to sound nor do they manifest formally and in fact, until the act is manifested and perceived. Then it is said that this can be understood as acute and heavy in sounds, speaking of qualities that are tangible. This is understood as acute and heavy in sounds and similar in nature to those that are touched. For tangible things are dense and sounding densely. Just as acute is felt in touch in a short time with great effect, heavy, on the other hand, moves the sense in a long time in a small space. In the same way, acute moves the sense of hearing in a short time with a great effect, heavy moves the sense of hearing in a long time with a small effect. Then it is said, \"Not even they are swift.\" They make the dense sounds approach the dense motions, and it is not clear what this means. Secondly, it reveals that dense motions are swift and slow. The text appears to be written in Old Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of sound and its relationship to the tangible world. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"durcie autem sunt acuti et gravi, et durcie non sunt illi, licet acuti causetur ex velocitate motus gravi aut ex tarditate. Quod dicitur: neque velocis est acuti, neque gravi est tardi, sed hoc scitur, acuti fit propter velocitatem motus illud, aut gravi propter tarditatem. Deinde cum dicit Et videtur, manifestat quoddam quod dixit. Dixit enim: quod acuti et gravi in sonis similitudine sunt, hoc enim que sunt circa tactum similitudine sunt acuti et ebetes. Quare acutus sonus quasi constrictum aere fortiter movet auditorium et quasi penetrando ledit ipsum, ideo assimilat acuti in tangibiliis, quod movet sensum multum penetrando pauca tempe. Graue autem quasi lentum pudet.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"However, the sharp and heavy ones are not those that cause sharpness or heaviness. This is what is meant: neither is the swift sharp, nor is the slow dull, but this is known: sharpness arises from the swiftness of motion, or heaviness from slowness. Furthermore, when he says \"it seems,\" he makes clear what he said. He said: the sharp and heavy ones in sounds are similar to those that are near touch, for the sharp sound moves the auditory organ as if it were constricted by strong air and penetrates it, leading it to resemble sharpness in tangible things, since it deeply penetrates the senses with little effort. However, heavy sound is like a slow one.\" modicum motion causes much trouble: a certain someone, Uox, determined this about his son. He determines the nature of a sound and divides it into two parts, the first being a strike, the second there. Many animals, the third there. However, a sound is a vibration. Therefore, the strike and is a sound, but not every sound is a voice, only the sound of an animated body, and this is what the laudable one says, \"a sound is a certain sound.\" Indeed, a sound is in inanimate objects, but none of them have a voice unless perhaps some kind of similarity. For example, a flute and a lyre and such instruments are said to have a voice, not truly, but a kind of similarity. The similarity lies in this: these instruments, which are among the inanimate, have extension and melody and articulation, and are similar to the voice in this. The voice, however, has these things. Queret aliquis quare hec (something missing) The first element comes before the definition of the word. \"Dicebo\" is put in the definition of the word, stating that a voice is a sound made by the air. This passage allows us to understand the division. From the divisions, we take definitions. Therefore, \"phusis\" gives us an understanding of such a division. Are sounds those of living beings or inanimate ones? A voice is not a sound of inanimate things. Therefore, what is the sound made by the air in the body? It is said that the voice is a strike of air breathed out by the lungs. Secundo, one might ask how the flute and lyre resemble the voice in emission, as \"phusis\" does. It is to be said that there is one kind of sound in the unanimated body and another kind in the animated body. The sound in the unanimated body causes vibration simply through impact, and therefore, like impact, it is quick and does not continue. The voice causes a certain sound in the vocal cords through the impact of air on them, and this is how the breath reaches the vocal cords. Appetitus auet hac vocem continuare et extendere. Ex quo sequitur quod in voce est queda continuatio. Illa ergo instrumenta in suo sono hoc continuatio neque vocem imitant. Tercio quaeret aliquis. Quo in voce est queda melodia.

Est aut hoc secutus quod multa de nuo animalibus vocem non habent sicut illa et alia quae sunt sine sanguine, pisces qui sunt de numerario habentique sanguine vocem non habent. Et hoc rationabiliter accidit. Vox est quidam motus aeri. Homini animalia non respirant aerem et ideo non habent quidquam quod sit vox. Quod autem quidam pisces dicuntur habere vocem, hoc non est quia habent vocem, sed quia faciunt quemdam sonum brancis quibus expellunt aquam et attrahunt aut aliiquo. Quereret aliquis ad quid deseruit haec perticula. definition of the voice Diceo is, in the definition of the voice, that it is a strike of respired air, as Phus (which requires a voice) permits it. Therefore, where the air is not respired, there is no voice, just as in bad air or in fish, or in the blood, or in the body of a fish. It should be noted that other things do not have this property, since they do not sound in the respired air but rather in external air, striking their wings and other body parts and causing a hissing or sucking sound. Some things, however, have a striking and singing quality, like the grill and the cicada and the locust, but this movement and sound are more produced by the external air striking the flagellum than by the voice being emitted through the head and mouth. What they might have said from experiment is that grills still have this property. cantant capitis amputatis In piscibus ecia who are in altare no fit vox spu sed brancijs in superficie fluminis percucienti aerum ut fit brancijs expellentibus & attrahentibus aerem\n\nDein cu dt. Vox aute sonus. pmittit tercium an diffinitione vocis duo quid pmo fuit quod dcm est. Secundo quid autem mencione fecerat de aere respirato ondit quo natura utitur humidi aere respirato ibi.\n\nIam em Premittit ergo primo tercium quod vox est sonus animalis sed tamen hic sonus uon est in qualibet pertem animalis. Ad omnem enim generanem soni requiritur quod sit percussio alicuius ad aliquid et in aliquo quod est aer. Ideo rationabile est quod illa sola anima tantum vocem habeant que aerem respirant et ex ea pertem qua respirant.\n\nQuerer aliquis. Ad quid hoc tertium premittitur ante diffinitionem vocis. Dicendum quod vox est percussio aeri respirati. Hic autem aer respiratus non repercutitur ad omnem partem sed ad vocalem arteriam an nasam. The lungs and therefore, according to this, Physis says that only those who breathe have respiration, not in every part of the body. It should be noted that to the breath, three things converge, namely the animating soul, the vocal artery to which this reverbation occurs, and also air in which this reverbation takes place. Air is that which is stirred and that which strikes the vocal artery. There is also a medium in which this reverbation occurs, and then there is sensation. The voice is made by the striking of the air against the vocal artery. By striking I mean the air that strikes the vocal artery. It could also be that there is a sensation that arises from the voice being made by the three converging things. The soul animates as much as it strikes, and the vocal artery also contributes to the reverbation. This reverbation occurs in some place, i.e., in air. Then, concerning respiration, it is asked how nature uses inspired air and what it does with it. Indeed, this is how it is done, namely, the breath is drawn in. \"It is reported that he said that the air breathed out does not touch any part, but it finds what is there - the organ of respiration. The first point of evidence is that the use of the tongue and the use of air for respiration are similar. The tongue is not used for tasting except for this purpose. Taste is distinct for conserving food for the animal. The tongue uses saliva for interpretation, and this is for its good. In the same way, nature uses air for respiration in two openings. It uses it for the mitigation of heat, and this is necessary for life. It also uses inspired air for the formation of voice, which is for its benefit, as is evident from the fact that it says that nature already uses inspired air in two openings. Just as the tongue is necessary for tasting in many animals, interpretation is for its good, and nature uses the spirit, that is, inspired air, for the mitigation of heat.\" It is indeed necessary for breathing animals to breathe air not only for the formation of voice, which is indeed essential for good being. But why is it necessary for breathed air to be necessary elsewhere? One might ask. It should be noted, however, that for the mitigation of heat, it is indeed necessary.\n\nThe first place where this is evident is near the heart. It is not necessary for air to enter the lungs to cool down natural heat. Animals, which have many limbs for dealing with heat there, require that air enter that place in order for the heat itself to be cooled. It is necessary for such animals to have a lung that exhales air like a bellows. It is also necessary for them to have a hard tube called the vocal artery, to which this air strikes, and for them to have a tongue that molds and strikes the air, and for moderate striking to occur in the air, therefore it is reasonable that only those animals have a voice that speak to the air. \"attending to respiring such members \u00b7 Secundo someone might want. But it is not true, as the gods Phus have spoken, that this is about the good being of a man. It seems not to be so. What is given to someone by nature is natural to them. But, as Phus the political one says, nature gave man speech, so speech is from nature and not from the good being \u00b7\nTo the contrary is dcmi Phi \u00b7\nTo this question, it is not to be said that it makes a difference whether one seeks the speech in a universal or particular interpretation, or the interpretation in the speech or the particular interpretations of the speakers. If he asks whether speaking is natural to man, it is clear that\nman interprets his concepts through speech. He naturally expresses what is social, which he cannot do except through interpretation, with those with whom he lives in society. If, however, he asks whether this speech is from nature, it should be said that \u00b7\nit is not more in the heart by art or by the will of the gods, Organus or others.\" respirationis. Onset is at the point where the air respired is cut off. It cuts back to the vocal artery, which is an organ of respiration, and this is why the larynx is required. Because the organ of respiration is the vocal artery, through which the air enters for the lungs to breathe, and in this regard, around the lungs there is a greater need for color due to the lung's requirement for heat. There is a place for heat around the heart. It is necessary to ingress internally with refreshing air to counteract this heat.\n\nNot to be confused is the fact that through respiration and inspiration, cold air is introduced and hot air is expelled, and this is necessary because the lung is close to the heart. And around the heart is a place for heat, not the heart itself, but rather the lung, which requires air to be breathed in to counteract the heat.\n\nFurthermore, according to the definition of the voice, the blow concludes the definition, and the lung, according to this definition, is what is meant by the blow. The eyes are not involved in this definition.\n\nErgo, the definition concludes. The voice is the strike of breath upon the vocal cords, which is a strike that occurs primarily in the chest. It should be noted that the strike can be understood in two ways, either formally or causally. If it is understood formally, it is false that the voice is a strike. For example, sound is not the strike or motion of air itself, and the voice is not the strike of breath upon the vocal cords. However, if it is understood causally, it is true that the voice is a strike. Since sound is caused universally by motion or strike of air, and the voice is the cause of sound as a species, it is caused by the strike of breath upon the vocal cords. It should be noted that the soul, although it is the substantial form in the entire body, its vitality and primary motion are in the heart, and therefore it is said in the books that the soul is in the chest and heart. A question may arise. Why did nature give this definition [in such a way]? conclusion is to be said. Why then, the impact of the breath of air and so on. A conclusion follows from what has been stated. A conclusion is drawn from the premises. He had assumed that this definition could be closed with what had been stated. He had assumed that because a voice is a sound produced by the body. From which, when the voice is removed, it concludes in the definition that a voice is the impact of breath. Next, it is said. For not every animal,\n\nmanifests a distinction in itself at a double point and this, it seems, pertains to two points. The voice, it is to be noted, is not a sound, but a significant sound, and it is significant because it signifies something. aliqua ymagination intending in something, signify this, since that sound which is without ymagination precedes, is not a voice, but a cough. It happens that the tongue begins to sound in coughing without preceding ymagination, so that this sound does not form ymagination, and this is because it is not any sound, as we said before, but the tongue produces some sound with the breath drawn in through it, which is not formed by ymagination, but is like the sound of a cough. A voice is a sounded sign and a voice is simply a sound breathed out of air, like a cough. If one wants to shout, it is done through this breathed-out air and by striking it, which is in the artery, against the artery itself. It is not to be noted that a voice is a sounded sign, for a voice is a sound and a bubble. \"Nothing is seen. Secondly, it is not intelligible what the sound is, because the sound signifies itself through the imagined and the one who hears this sees that all sounds are insignificant. Whatever this one might utter with this sound, he should not imagine it otherwise than as another man. Some say that in other animals there is a sound. But that sound is not so properly related to reason of voice as in these where there is a word. The voice does not signify as it seems, but the imagination is supposed to signify. Although brute animals have some imagination, they are not properly moved by the imagination of the imaginators, but rather by nature, which is a sign. One uniform and similar action makes a nest like a hen and others, and therefore this action is more seen as nature than art. Therefore, let us understand that in such animals the soul is imaginative and not diverse, as man is. But perhaps it is more regulated by nature and\" agitur ab ipso ad opera. Deinde cum dicit: Signum autem est. Manifestat secundum quod vox est percussio aeris respiratiunis unum et dicit quod hoc signum secundum quod vox est aeris respirati duplex est. Unum quod animal non potest formare vocem nec duas attrahit aerem respirando nec denus expellit expirando, sed duas retinet aerem, quia cum retinet hoc aere retento causat motum ad formationem vocum. Alium signum est: quia pisces non habent vocem. Nam enim habet guttur, id est vocalem artem, hanc autem partem non habebant, quia non recepient aerem nec respirant. Quare autem pisces non respirant alia ratio est quae ad scientiam de natura animalium pertinet et ibi explicabitur.\n\nDe odore autem et olfactibili. In hoc parte dicendum est de odorabili et tria facit: primo determinat quid ipsum odorabile sit obiectum olfactus, secundo quid medium sit per quod fit olfactus ibi. Est autem olfactus. Per the third part, it is determined by that organ of smell in the end of the chapter. The first part is difficult to take in the second odor, as it teaches to take in moderate amounts there. It seems that the first part declares its intention through this. The third part reveals how non-odorable things are perceived as odorless there. Yet, the first part declares itself in two parts. The first part reveals its nature through something similar there. It is reasonable. Therefore, the first part declares that it is difficult to receive the impression of a smell and that our reason is such. It is difficult for us to understand what a smell is, and the species of smells are not known without the quality of the smell. That it is difficult for us to understand what a smell is is clear. Among all animals, we have the poorest sense of smell. From this it follows that we cannot fully reach a knowledge of the nature of a smell. This is what the letter says, that the nature of a smell and an odorable thing cannot be determined by us as easily as the nature of a visible and tangible thing, because it is not as manifest to us. It is clear to us what smell is, as is what sound or something visible, whether it is light or something of that kind. The reason for this is that we have a poorer sense of smell than many animals. Therefore, a man smells badly and smells nothing pleasant without joy and sadness, as if there were no certain feeling of it. \u00b6Furthermore, when he says, \"It is debatable, but it is clear that the human species has this quality towards perceiving smells like animals have towards perceiving colors, which they can only perceive interiorly or contrary to their nature.\" \u00b6One might ask, \"What is it that the phrase refers to?\" It should be noted that for good smelling and the quality of the sense of smell, there needs to be a proportion and conjunction between the object and the power or between the smell and the power of smelling. The natural smell or odor accordingly. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be about the relationship between temperature, brain condition, and the sense of smell. Here's the cleaned text:\n\ncalidum et sicci requiritur victoria calidi et sicci. Hoc autem deficit in homine. Ex quod sequitur, quod in eo deficit bonitas olfactus. Homo enim corporibus suis dispropione, cerebrum maius ceteris animalibus. Cerebrum autem est frigidum et humidum. Ex quo sequitur, quod instrumentum quod posituum est in vicinia cerebri sit frigidum et humidum, et propter hoc non bene proportionatur suo obiecto et sic impedit bonitas olfactus et ideo alia hoc sicca cerebra meliore olfactu. Quod autem hoc habent alia respicunt aliorum animalium cerebrum magis frigidum et humidum indicat longitudo dormitionis hominis.\n\nDiucius enim et sepius homo dormit ceteris animalibus ita, quasi medietas vitae hominis sompnus deputatur.\n\nSecundo queritur quis. Utrum homo nihil odorat, si non leticia et tristicia sicut dicitur in phus.\n\nDicendum est, quod sic. \"In conjunction, you come together. Sadness arises from the inconjunction of disagreeing with what disagrees. Therefore, to feel with sorrow and sadness is the same as feeling extreme sensations and not moderate ones. If the sense of touch is well-pleasing and fragrant, it produces joy. But if it is unpleasant and foul, it produces sadness. For Phormisbyros says that a man, due to the weakness of his sense of smell, perceives only strong smells that arouse joy and strong smells that arouse sadness. He does not perceive moderate smells because the sense of smell, due to its weakness, is not moved by mild odors.\"\n\nNote that this text is in Latin, and I have translated it into modern English for you. The original text was likely written in Latin, and the text you provided was likely a transcription of that text, possibly made using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. The text contains no meaningless or unreadable content, and no modern introductions, notes, or logistical information have been added. Therefore, I have provided the cleaned text in full. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between smells (odors) and tastes (sapores). Here's the cleaned text:\n\ndebilitatem olfactus que oritur ex frigiditate cerebri nobis difficile est percipi odor. (It is difficult for us to perceive odors when the sense of smell is weakened by brain coldness.) Deinde cum dicit Videtur enim, ostendit quomodo innotescunt nobis differenciae odorum et duo facit. (Furthermore, when he says \"It seems,\" he shows us how odor differences become noticeable to us through differences in smells. Secondly, he shows how odor differences respond to stronger smells there. However, it is worth noting that our certainty about smells is less than our certainty about tastes. A human has a more certain sense of taste than of smell. For the first thing, he puts forward that odors have an analogy to tastes. Secondly, he observes that tastes are certain to us there. But more certain.\n\nQuare autem ad nos hoc dictum quod sus olfactus videt quidam analogiam ad gustum. Et species humorum, id est saporum, videntur nobis quidam analogia ad speciem odoris. (Therefore, he tells us this because the sense of smell in a pig observes some analogy to taste. And the forms of humors, that is, of smells, seem to us to have some analogy to the form of a smell.)\n\nDeinde cum dicit Sicut humorem, ondit quod sapores nobis sunt certi et est ratio sua talis. (Furthermore, when he says \"Just as a humor,\" he observes that tastes are certain to us and have their reason for being so.) gu\u00a6stum certiore\u0304 {quam} alia ai\u0304alia. sed per gustu\u0304 cognoscim{us} sapores ergo sa\u2223pores suut nobis cerciores {quam} alijs animali{bus}. maiore\u0304 hui{us} ro\u0304nis {pro}bat sc\u0290 {quod} gustus sit certior nobis {quam} a\u2223lijs ai\u0304ali{bus}. sic phu\u0304s in lr\u0304a. tactus e\u0304 nobis certissim{us} sed gust{us} est qui\u2223da\u0304 tact{us} ergo gust{us} est nobis certis\u00a6sim{us}. \u00b6Circa ha\u0304c {pro}batione\u0304 {pro}ce\u2223dit sic phu\u0304s\u00b7 qr p\u0304mo ponit {quod} tact{us} est certissim{us} in hoi\u0304e & {per} {con}n\u0304s gu\u2223stus. secu\u0304do ex hoc {con}cludit quanda\u0304 {con}clusione\u0304 ibi.

From his words, he concludes that a man excels in other things because he is the most prudent of all animals, for the goodness of touch attests both wit and prudence. If the goodness of touch attests wit, this is proven by the sign. No one in the human race judges some to be witty and others not, for those who have soft flesh and a weak sense of touch are foolish in their minds. Those who have been soft in flesh and have a good sense of touch are well suited in mind. One might ask, how does touch argue for goodness of character? It is said that in two ways we can discern this. The first way, the goodness of touch argues for the goodness of complexion. The goodness of complexion argues for the nobility of form. For it is always necessary that there be proportion between matter and form. If matter is nobler, it argues for a nobler form. A better intellect understands the body better complexed and proportioned. Follow this further. via talis est. Tactus est fundamentum omnium sensuum. Ex quo sequitur quod qui habent meliore tactum simpliciter habent melior sensitium. Ad bonitatem aut sensuitive sequitur bonitas intellectus. Quod bonitas sit sus est dispositio ad bonitatem intellectus.\n\nSecundo quisque quereret. Utrum sit verum quod dictum est in solutione precedentis questionis, scilicet quod bonitas tactus arguat bonitatem complexionis. Dicendum est secundo.\n\nAd cuius evidenciam notandum est quod qualitates tangibles suam mixtione complexionem faciunt. Complexio nobilior est cujus magis ab excellencijs recedit et appropinquat mediaitati et equalitati. Tactus quoque tantum melior est quanto contraria magis redacta sunt ad medium et magis recedentia ab excellencijs. Argenus ergo sic. Bonum complexio arguit recessum ab excellencijs et accessum ad medium, sed idem arguit bonitas tactus. Ergo bonitas tactus arguit bonitatem complexionis et conversely.\n\nEx his prudentissime homo meliore tactu quam cetera aut in hoc. qualitates tangibles are reduced to the medium. Because of this reduction, the body is better proportioned. Thirdly, someone might argue that other senses, like sight, argue for the goodness of the intellect just as touch does. This is because touch is not deprived of qualities tangible, but is alone here concerned with sensible qualities. Therefore, only here does sense argue for the goodness of the intellect in proportion to these qualities, from which goodness or badness arises. Other senses, however, have served intelligence well. Through them, intelligible things are offered to the intellect. But no other corporeal sense argues for the body's goodness in proportion to its proportion as touch does, as is declared.\n\nDein: \"It is the same as a humor. The species of a smell spreads the species of a taste, just as a humor does.\" dulcis et quidam amarus, odores distinguuntur quid amari et quid dulces. Sed proportionalitas in odore et sapore. Dulce sapore et dulce odore. Quid ueno proportionalis in odore et sapore. Hoc suave sapore et suave odore, sicut autem de dulci et amaro transferuntur ad odores. Acequi odores non sunt ita manifesti sicut sapores, novit homo a saporibus quod in pluribus odores redunt sapori, consuetudine renum quidem non odor et sapor est a croco et melle. Acer vero a chimo et similibus. Eodem autem modo est in alis saporibus et odoribus. Notandum est quod, sicut Phus dicit, sapores et odores non semper proportionaliter transferuntur. Ratio quidem est quoniam sapor consistit in humido aqueo aliqalter digesto. Odor autem consistit in sicco aereo debite contemplato, continet autem quamquam et utramque substantiam, scilicet subtilem aeream et aquam grossiorem commixtam esse debet. proportion et sic est suanstas odoris et eciam saporis. Si vero sit debita proportio in uno et non in altero erit suavitas in uno & non erit suavitas in altero. Deinde cum dicit. Adhuc autem. Ostendit quomodo se habent nihil odorabilia ad odoratum & ecia odorabilia quor odorabilia & nihil odorasilia perripitur odoratum. Hoc est quod quod sicut audituus est audibilis & nihil audibilis cuus sit una potentia oppositorum ita odoratus est odorabilis et nihil odorabilis. Nihil odorabile aute dr aut quia nihil potest facere odorem vel habere sicut corpora simplicia vel quia parum habet de odore aut quia putridum et malum seu fetidum habet odore. Nihil odorabile, notandu quod, visus nichil videndo percipit esse tenebram et auditus nichil audiendo percipit esse silencium. Eodem modo ipso quod nichil odoras percipis nihil odorabile. Omnis olfactus postquam de odore hic dictus est, dividitur hoc per. in two tests. First, it speaks of the middle. Second, it raises a question there. Where and doubtfully it seems. Therefore, it is first said of the middle because of the smell. And it is said in the air because the smell is in the air, and it is clear that it is in water. It remains to be proven that water is the medium for smell. For instance, aquatic animals sense smell just as other animals do, which have blood and which do not have blood. In all these animals, there is one sign that they have a sense of smell, namely that they run towards food when they are not moved except by smell. Therefore, the commentator says. Apes move towards their young and food from a very remote place and are among animals lacking blood, and similarly in fish and in many animals. Note that the commentator says that, just as it is with sight, nature has neglected the medium for smell, not air or water, but it is certainly the nature of sound-producing things. The text appears to be written in old Latin, and it discusses the nature of odors and their distinction from the body. Here's the cleaned text:\n\nmedij olfactus est natura commuis aeri et aque. Notandum est commentator quod in ista natura quid est medium in olfactu sunt odores extranei, quia ipsa caret odoribus, sicut diaphanum coloribus. Color habet duplex esse, unum in corpore colorato et hoc esse corporale, aliud autem in diaphano et hoc esse spirituale. Unum in corpore, primum, est corporale. Secundum est spirituale, primum naturale, secundum extraneum. Primum est esse corporale. Secundum est esse spirituale. Commentator quid dixerunt, ut ad evidentiam dicam, quidquid dissolvit corpus odorosum, hoc subtile et odor subtile, quod movet in aere donec perueniat ad sum odoratum. positione odor not reaching sense unless with odorous body and evaporating smoke. This position, from odorous body, was always something evaporating. Auicena proved this by sign, poma odor emitters drying out and against the rugae, unless something really flowed from the pomum. From this it can be argued that Auicena that odor is real, because of real flow from odorous body. This position proved the controller, that odor more diffuses and reaches greater distance than evaporative fumalis or can reach the perfumed body. If odor had not been, it would not have come to the sense unless with dissolved perfumed body in contact with it. When odor reaches greater distance than the dissolved perfumed body from the odorous body, it is manifest that odor is always in such a body. Secudo quisquetiquid. Quo est verum, quod dictum est in precedenti quaestione, quod odor ad majori distancia se multiplicat quam possit se extendere fumalis evaporatio. Dicendum est hoc probavit commentator sic. Animalia magis distantia mouent ad nutrimenta suum et hoc quare movent ab odore. Ad bellua emu Troiana propter occisa corpora venerunt vultures & tigres ab quingentis miliariis ab odore tracti. Quod ita concpertum est. Vultures in terra illa numquam fuerunt visi. Locus autem prior, ubi ante visi fuerunt, distabat a loco cedis & corporum occisorum spacio quingentarum leucarum. Sic ergo odor potest diffundi vsque ad quingenta milia hoc autem impossibile est de corpore odoroso si illud corpus alterat totum in ignem neque potest tantum se diffundere. Quo advertendum est quod odor diffundit se spicet et equaliter ex omnibus partibus nisi aliquid impediat. Si igitur istud corpus vaporosum diffunderet se vsque ad quingenta milia, oporteret diffunderet se. If this sphere were long and deep enough beforehand, it would be a thousand miles in diameter for the animals that came to it for food. It is impossible, however, for something smoky to become a space of a thousand leagues in length and breadth, not linearly but in depth and width. For if this smoky part were incomparably rarer than the fire, which is impossible, because the greatest quantity of matter that can receive is the size of the fire. But if this smoky part were rarer than the fire, it is clear that it would not have such a great extension if it were in the form of fire itself.\n\nSupposing that it refines and we approach it to a thousand leagues in circumference. It should be noted that Avicenna attempted to solve this problem by saying that these birds were high in flight and sharp-sighted because they could reach there not by odor but by sight. If we grant this concession. odor put more visible things than words could, for in that porous substance the great winds blew and carried some part of the infected air towards the fragrant ones. From this it followed that it was not necessary for that smoky mother to be dispersed by the rarity of fire. One might ask how the smoky ones could be perfected without touch. It must be distinguished that the smoky ones are in sight and in other ways similar, but in sight they are not such that lines of sight emerge from sight and are perceived as things seen and felt through sight. And thus sight becomes affected by contact. It is olfaction that is affected by these things, not the body itself, which emits a smell that comes from the smoky ones and reaches us. The motion of air also affects hearing and is a part of hearing. The motion of air is not sound itself. These things move in hearing. The position is impossible in multiple ways and seems unlikely to the senses. It is not proven that, in order to be seen, one should receive it inside and not send it out as it was placed. These positions, which the positioner placed, reach the visible object from the sight line and also reach the thing itself. There is a lack of essence in the smell, and if the position were true, the commentator could not deny that, because the smell does not reach the olfactory organ when it is in the smoke, which could be true in another way. If the smell were in some corporeal substance that flowed away from the body, it is necessary that, when this corporeal substance penetrates the air, either the air enters the space or the air recedes from its place or the corporeal substance evaporates. Two bodies cannot exist at the same time. This is impossible. Therefore, that fume is either a body or air expelled from its place. Or, two bodies are in the same place. So, this position stated earlier errs in the sense of smell and sight. It errs in hearing. Hearing is a certain touch. That touch which is made through a medium and is not touched when distant is also hearing, as declared above. Of taste, it is certain that it is a certain touch, as will be explained below. But the other three senses, sight, hearing, and smell, are not touches in the sense of being touched continuously from the outside. It is noted that smell is really in the fruit or in the body that is fragrant. It is really in those vapors that exalt from the fragrant body. If some vapors exalt as is often stated, odor is not the end of the evaporation of the fumes. It is not necessary that this evaporation of fumes affects us in smell or in the termination. The text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of odors and their presence in the air. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Percipitur odor in corpore aut realiter in aere est, intencionaliter in media teris est. Commentator impossibile est ut odor sit in aere sicut in corpore posito. Simplicia non recipiunt odores. Remanet ut sit in eo, sicut color in diaphano. Odor est in corpore posito realiter in aere, at non potest ei realiter cuius ratio est, quia aer corpus simplex non potest suscepti odoris. Restat quod, sicut color est intentionaliter in diaphano, ita odor in medio est intentionaliter. Notandum est in commentatore, quod coloris in medio est magis substantiali quam esse odoris huius aut signum est, quia venti vident odores adducere, hoc est quod fecit quosdam estimare odor esse corpus, quod tamen falsum est. Ita est hac intentione de odore sicut de sonio.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"The smell is taken up in the body or is really in the air, intentionally in the earth. The commentator states that it is impossible for a smell to be in the air as it is in the body placed. Simples do not receive smells. It remains that it is as in the diaphane as the color. The smell is in the body placed really in the air, but it cannot really be in that which is the reason, because the simple body of air cannot receive odor. However, it remains that, just as the color is intentionally in the diaphane, so the smell is intentionally in the medium. It should be noted in the commentator that the color in the medium is more substantial than being the smell or a sign, because the winds see odors being carried, which is what made some estimate that the smell is a body, but that is false. Thus, this is the intention regarding the smell as regarding sound.\" The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of smell and perception. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Sonus autem fit in aere. Impeditur ea a ventis, non sequitur ex hoc quod sit corpus. Dein cuidam dt unde dubium videtur. Mouet quidem quaestione et dubitatione circa praedica. Et pimo quid mouet quaestio secundo solvetur ibi. Videtur autem Prima in duas quas obicit ad unam pertinenti ad unam quasibet quaestionis. Secundo ad aliam ibi. Sed impossibile est ad euidencia pmi notandum est quod quaestio in hoc. Utrum autem adoratus percipitur odor sit sensus unus rationis in omnibus adorantibus, et videt quod non. Quid aliia odorant respirando et quid non respirando. Alius autem sensus videtur isti qui respirat ab isto qui non respirat. Hoc ergo quod dicit la ra quod dubium videtur, si omnia alia similiter odorant, id est, hoc sensum odoratum videt non quod hor sentit odorem respirando, uos emodorat nisi attrahat aerem. Emitte do emodorat nec a longe nec prope. Necciam odorat si odorabile ponatur intus in naso. Hoc enim\" The communis omnis sensibus senses that which is sensible places above sense, although a human does not smell unless he respires, or if anyone should attempt to test it. From this it appears that he has another sense, that is, of a different reason than smell, and other senses that are in a man. It is worth noting that animals which do not have a heart full of blood do not respire, because they have cold hearts and do not require cooling ventilation.\n\nBut he said. But it is impossible\nhe objects to the contrary and divides it into two parts, introducing two reasons there. Further, he introduces the first reason. An odor respects the olfactory sense, an object respects the passive olfactory sense, or the olfactory sense is moved by a smell. Wherever the active is one reason, the passive is weaker, but an odor is weaker in respect to all olfactory senses. Or perhaps it is so with this ratio. The olfactory sense is the sensible sense and therefore it is present in every place. The sense of smell exists there and no other sense can be made without breathing or tasting. Therefore, as the Latin says, it is impossible for there to be another sense in a breathing being besides the sense of smell. The reason being, the sense of smell senses odors through odors, and the sense of smell is the good or bad smelling sense. Then it says, Amplius aute. He places a second reason, which is that this sense, which is corrupted by strong odors, is the sense of smell. But other non-breathing things are corrupted by strong odors, therefore, this sense of smell is like that of man. And it is the same for the essence of this, for sulfur and homoiodes are capable of such corruptions. Therefore, it is necessary that breathing beings have a sense of smell, just as man does. Then it says, \"He has solved the question.\"\n\nTo whom this evidence is to be noted: The text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to discuss the differences in the sense of smell between humans and other animals. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"diversity in mode of respiring does not argue diversity of senses but rather argues diversity of organs. Therefore, physiology addresses this question. Since the organ of smell is disposed differently in respirators than in non-respirators, this is evident from the fact that the sense of smell in humans, for instance, seems to differ from those in other animals, as the eyes of humans are different from the hard eyes of certain animals. Indeed, the human nose and eyelids function in a way that is similar to the eyelids serving as a veil to protect the eyes, which are not moved by anyone nor retracted without being seen. The eyes have no need for force to function, but they become clear and bright in a diaphanous light. Fish, which have hard eyes, do not have movable eyelids to remove them in order to see.\n\nTherefore, this similarity adapts to\" propositus dicens quod eodem modo sensit odoratius aliis animalibus, si non respirant in oculis aliae creature recepient aere. Respirantibus enim necessest ipsum animas discoperitur ampliatis autenis et poris, propter hoc talia animalia respirantia non odorant in aqua.\n\nRatio est quia necessest ea pati odorem, id est percipere odorem respirando. Hoc autem sunt incapaces facere in humido. Notandum quod quodammodo similiter quam animalia habent duros oculos, transmutari ab odore et hoc organum non est siccum sed humidum et frigidum quia situatum est iuxta locum frigidissimum, scilicet cerebrum.\n\nSecundo modo potest considerari hoc organum quod est in actu olfactus et quod actu movetur ab odore, sic efficitur ficum. Ratio est quia agens assimilat sibi patens et facit ipsum tale quod ipsum est. Odor autem agit olfactus, patitur et quia odor est passio sicci. The text appears to be in Latin and seems to be discussing the perception of taste. Here's the cleaned version:\n\ntractatur olfactus ad siccum et si istam rationem considerandi olfactum dicitur in libro de sensu et sensato, quod orgaum olfactus est ignee natura.\n\nStable est autem postquam physis determinavit de visibili audibili et olfactibili hic quarto determinat de gustabili. Et hoc partitur in duas partes. Prima in communi. Secundo determinet de speciebus gustabilis ibi. Species autem horum primum in duas. Quia primo determinat de gustabili in communi. Secundo determinat de speciebus gustabili ibi.\n\nSpecies autem primum in tres. Quia primo gustabile nihil percipitur per medium. Secundum ondit quod requirit ad gustu ex quo medium non requirit ibi. Nihil autem fit. Tertio ondit quid percipiat per gustu ibi. Sicut autem visus, Prima in tres. Quia primo gustabile nihil sentit per medium. Secundum removet quidquid caullatione ibi. Unum et si in aqua. Tertio manifestat quod dixit ibi Color aut non sic.\n\nPrimo ergo manifestat. \"This is what is tastable, not touchable, it does not feel through a medium and therefore tastable does not feel through a medium. Regarding this matter, therefore, the prime matter points out that what is tastable is also touchable. From this it follows that it does not sense through a medium. He proved this there. And the body, in which both the corporeal substance and the humor are, is said to be tastable because in it there is a humor, the savory which is what is tastable in the moist, just as the moist is touchable. However, the moist is touchable because it is founded in the touchable, that is, in the physical substance. It should be noted that the medium is twofold. It is external to the touchable. It is called 'medium' elsewhere.\" \"medium is not a part of the animal, and the senses, called medium, feel sensations before they were called so. They are felt through air and water, which are not part of the animal. If we do not speak of such a medium, this nature here proved that what is tastable is not felt through it. Secondly, that which is mixed with the medium and is part of the animal, and from this medium comes the sensation of touch. Someone might ask, whether what is tastable is also tangible. He sees that if what is tastable is tangible, then taste is a kind of touch. This is false, therefore the senses do not distinguish things through their objects, nor do they distinguish through their powers. If, therefore, objects are not distinguished, nor are perceptions, and if what is tastable is not distinguished from what is tangible, but is part of it, and taste does not distinguish from touch, then the falsehood follows that if taste does not distinguish from touch, neither does the sense of smell distinguish from the sense of touch, nor do the other four.\" intelligen two buses, the one formal is such that tangibility is its stability or formalitas is tastibilis in relation to gustabilis and tangibilis, and here it is impossible for the poetic to distinguish between textures. Secondly, it is to be understood that what is gustabile and tangible is not two poetics, and thus not any one poetic will be sufficient but rather four. Secondly, it is to be understood that what is gustabile is also tangible, and gustabile founds what is tangible such that in material discourse and not formal gustabile is what is tangible. Here, intellicuus is true, to the one who has understanding, we understand that in taste there is something formal and something material, the taste is humid in which the sapor is founded and humid in what is tangible, therefore it is not that what is gustabile is because of what is tangible. siue sapor fundet in humido, non enim fundat in omni humido corpus simplicium quorum corpora simplicia non sunt susceptibila saporis, sed fundat in specali humido propter quam specialitate phusus quod gustabile est quiddam tangibile. Non enim dixit gustabile esse omne tangibile, sed quiddam tangibile. I. Ad argumentum procedebat, quod si gustabile est quiddam tangible, formaliter quo pimo notandum est quod fit gustabile quiddam tangible. I. Fundatur in quodam tangible ita cognitum est quidam tactus. Si intelligatur pimo sic gustus est quidam tactus, quia idem modus videtur esse in tactu et gustu, sicut tactus percipit suum obiectum tangendo sine medio extraneo, ita et gustus. Secundum modum, intelligendus est gustui esse tactui, quod ad obiectum refert, vel obiectum gustus est obiectum tactus. Hic intelligigebat esse impossibile, vel obiecta tactus sunt qualitates tangibles, scilicet calidum, frigidum, humidum. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the concept of taste and the distinction between the taste and the tastable object. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"siccuus obmnis est gustus est sapor. Sapor aut non est qualitas tangibilis, licet fundet in qualitate tangibili sicut in humido. Deinde cum dicit, quod et si in aqua essemus, remouet quandam cavillationem seu objectionem. Ad cuius euidenciam notandum est, quod de ratione gustus, ut dictum est, est quod sentiat non per medium extraneum et distans, id est quod facit distare gustum a gustabili. Contra hoc posset aliquis objicere sic. Si nos essent in aqua et aliqoud corpus saporo dissolveret per aquam, sentiremus saporem illius corporis sapidosi et tamen essetis distantibus ab illo corpore sapidoso. Ex quo enim videtur sequi, quod sentiamus saporem per medium distantem. Sentimus enim corpus sapidosum per aquam, quia corpus distat a nobis, hac objectione excludens phus, dicit quod si essent in aqua sentiremus ut corpus dulce appositum hic tamen sensus non esset per aqua tamquam per medium, sed ideo esset ille sapor permisceret humido aqueo, sicut si\" permisceret sapor aliquis in potu vini vel aqua, et aqua sic immutata immutat gustum. Notandum quod isti fic arguentes non bene ymaginabantur. Ymaginabantur enim quod corpus saporosum immutaret aquam intentionaliter, ita aqua esset quoddam medium inter gustabile et gustum, sicut aer est quoddam medium inter visum et visibile. Hec autem ymaginatio falsa est. Si enim ita esset, gustus non esset quidam tactus, sicut nec auditu sic visus, qui sensit per medium distans.\n\nImaginationem philosophorum verum est, quod aqua immutatur immutatione naturali a corpore saporoso, et gustus non perperit per signum gustus. Enim gustus non ita intense immutatur ab aqua sic saporosa facta, sicut natus est immutari a sapore corporis distantis, eo quod iste sapor debilitatur per admixitam aquam.\n\nDeinde cum dicit \"Color autem,\" manifestat id quod dixit. Dixit enim quod sapor immiscetur medio, sicut aque. Hoc autem manifestat differentiam et convenienciam inter saporem et color. Differencia autem est quod:\n\n(Note: The text appears to be in Latin, and there are some errors in the transcription. Here is a corrected version of the text.)\n\nA person's taste is influenced by the flavor of wine or water, and water, once changed, changes the taste. Notandum (it is worth noting) that those who argue against this did not imagine correctly. They imagined that the body's savory substance would change water intentionally, so that water would be a kind of medium between the savory and the taste, just as air is a medium between the visible and the seen. However, this imagination is false. For if it were so, the taste would not be a kind of touch, nor would hearing or sight be, which sense through a distant medium.\n\nThe imagination of philosophers is true, that water is changed naturally by a savory body, and the taste does not perish by the sign of taste. For the taste is not intensely changed by water so savory made, as it is born to be changed by the taste of a distant body, but rather the taste is weakened by the added water.\n\nFurthermore, when he says \"Color, however,\" he makes clear what he means. He said that the taste mixes with the medium, just as water does. This makes clear the difference and agreement between taste and color. The difference is that: color does not mix with the medium nor does any flowing color appear to be part of a colored body, for color does not seem to be in the flow of defluxions, i.e., defluxions from a colored body. Therefore, what is the connection between the medium and color? For color is visible, an object for sight. Likewise, humor is tastable, an object for taste. Therefore, the connection between color and taste is that, to the object, there is no connection. It should be noted that color and taste are different. The difference is that vision does not perceive the color of the medium as it does with the air or water and the colored body being separated by air or water, and therefore, it tastes through the medium or something else tastes the taste as water is changed through the body. saporo sum et ideo aqua non debet dici hic medium inter corpus saporosum et gustum. Secunda dr\u0101 est quod color immutat medium internaliter, visum corporis colorati sapor aut i\u0304mutat medium puta aquam per defluxum corporis saporosi. Tercia dr\u0101 est quod visus magis accipit corpus coloratum a medio quam in medio. In visu enim necessario requirit medium quod immutat intentionaliter tm\u0304 i\u0304mutat visum. Gustus autem non accipit saporem a medio vel per medium, quia sic sentiret per medium distans, sed si est aliquod medium inter corpus saporosum et gustum, sicut aqua. Gustus autem magis accipit illud in medio, id est per commixtionem, quam accipiat illud a medio. Deinde dicit: Nichil autem facit. Onnit quid requirit ad gustu ex quo medium non requirit et quod nullum saporosum facit sensum sui humoris sine humiditate. Na\u0304 sicut color requirit lumen sine quo non videtur, ita sapor requirit humidum sine quo non sentitur. Ergo oporet quod gustabile. vel sit actu humidum sicut vinum vel aliquid humidum vel quod sit potencia humectabile sicut id quod sumitur per medium et si terra sicut salsum siue sal. Ipsum eme bene liquefactibile et bene liquefactu lingue.\n\nDeinde dicit. Sicut aute visus. Postquam ondit quod gustabile non sentitur per medium hic ondit quod gustus est respectu gustabilis et non gustabilis et est ostensio sua talis. Anditus et visus assimilatur gustui in obiecto licet non assimilentur in medio. Sed visus est respectu visibilis pemo ondit circa quid est visum et auditis. Secundo ex hoc concludit circa quid est gustus ibi. Sic ante est et gustus.\n\nQuaedam ad primum dicit: lra quod visus est respectu visibilis et invisibilis. Quod aute sit respectu visibilis de se. Quod aute sit respectu invisibilis patet. Visus est respectu tenebrae quam ipsam iudicat, sed tenebra est invisibilis ergo visus est respectu invisibilis. Alio modo patet hoc. Visus est respectu valde splendidi sed valde tenebrosi. The following text is in Latin and requires translation and some cleaning: \"splendidum est inuisibile, ergo est respectu inuisibilis. Sciendum est tamen, quod aliud est inuisibile, tenebra, et aliter valde splendidum. Tenebra enim est inuisibilis quia caret lumine. Splendidum autem valde est inuisibile quia corrumpit sensum et non est proportio visui. Sicut autem est de visu, ita est de auditu: auditorium est respectu silentii, et quia silentium est inaudibile, est respectu inaudibilis. Est etiam auditus respectu magni soni, sicut visus respectu valde splendidi, et quia magnus sonus non est bene audibilis propter suam excelsam, ideo auditorius est respectu non bene audibilis. Sicut enim parvus sonus non est bene audibilis propter suam parvitatem, ita magnus sonus non est bene audibilis propter suam excelsam. Et ideo breviter dicitur iuuisibile, quod licet sit aptum natura videre, cum malum et praejuvenescat, sicut ingressibile duobus modis.\"\n\nCleaned text: \"The invisible is splendid, therefore it is respectable to the invisible. It is necessary to know, however, that another thing is invisible: darkness, and the splendid is something else. Darkness is invisible because it lacks light. But the splendid is extremely invisible because it corrupts the sense and is not proportionate to sight. Just as it is with sight, so it is with hearing: the ear is respectable to silence, and because silence is inaudible, it is respectable to the inaudible. There is also the ear respectable to a great sound, just as the eye is respectable to something extremely splendid, and because a great sound is not well audible due to its excellence, the ear is respectable to the not well audible. Just as a small sound is not well audible due to its smallness, so a great sound is not well audible due to its excellence. And therefore, it is briefly called the iuuisible, although it is naturally suitable to be seen, it can be harmful and misleading.\" God says that a thing that acts must do so in proportion to its size and motion. The visible is motion itself and the visible moves the eye. Therefore, anything that does not appear to move properly in relation to the visible arises from the proportion of the visible to the eye. This proportion is either small or great, in the first case because it does not move the eye much, or in the third case because it exceeds the eye's capacity like the sun. We understand that the invisible has three modes. First, there is something invisible that lacks visibility, which we call the voice because it is inaudible. Second, there is something invisible that can have some visibility, but not enough to move the eye significantly. Third, there is something invisible that has great visibility and exceeds the eye's capacity. Furthermore, he says \"Likewise, taste and touch.\" This refers to the invisible and inaudible. adapted to taste, whether it is of sight and hearing, and firstly this is done. Secondly, it determines the taste in respect to the act, there it is said that sight is in respect to the visible and invisible, and hearing in respect to the audible and inaudible, and taste in respect to the tastable and intangible. Taste is not tastable by the taste itself or by the palate, or it has a taste that is unpleasant, or it has a taste that is insipid, or it has a taste that is overpowering and corrupts the taste. It is noted that Themistius states that taste is not tastable in three ways. The first way is that of one who greatly lacks taste, such as a lap or something similar. The second way is that of those who greatly excel in taste, so much so that they corrupt it, like very sharp things. The third way is that of one who is unable to taste at all, like the voice.\n\nThen it is said that there is a principle that determines taste in respect to touch.\n\nTo make this clear. The given text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of taste and touch. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nquod gustus est respectu potabilis et non potabilis, tactus quidam est. Phus, quod potabile et non potabile gustus est, immutationis principium est. Gustus percipit utraque, non potabile percipit ut prauum et corruptum. Aliod autem potabile percipit ut conveniens naturae et ut salutis gustus. Potabile et non potabile commune respectu gustus et tactus. Quisque quaeret, verum estne quod Phus dicit: potabile et non potabile principium gustus.\n\nThis text can be translated to modern English as:\n\nTaste is something respecting the drinkable and the undrinkable, touch being a certain something. Phus says that the drinkable and undrinkable is the principle of taste. Taste perceives both, the undrinkable perceives as harmful and corrupt. But another thing is drinkable as agreeing with nature and as a savory taste. Drinkable and undrinkable are common respecting taste and touch. Anyone may ask, is it true that Phus says: drinkable and undrinkable is the principle of taste. The following text discusses the relationship between taste and motion, and how something becomes the principal object of perception in this regard. If a thing moves and draws us to action through our sense of touch, it becomes the principal object of perception. Nothing that approaches the sense of taste moves or acts unless it is in a potable or moist state. A potable substance is not moist on its own, but is the very essence of taste. A form does not move unless it is in its proper and fitting matter. Therefore, the second way to understand this is that something becomes potable through being able to be kept from becoming immobile in the sense of taste. Taste is founded in touch, but not in all touches, but in the touch of the tongue, and it changes touch less than taste is changed by the tasteless or tasteless and the nerve in the tongue is changed before touch is. tactus quam ut instrumentum gustus, prioreitas potabile potabile et non potabile respectu gustabilis et non gustabilis ut immutat gustus, principium est respectu gustus. Secundo quisque quereret. Utrum sit quod physis potabile et non potabile commune respectu gustus et tactus. Videt quod non. Quia potentiae distincte non distinguunt obiecta et communia, sed tactus et gustus potentiae distincte ergo obiecta distincta non communia.\n\nAd oppositum est dicendum quod tota difficultas questionis oritur quia impossibile est impossibile potabile et non potabile coniuncta tactui et gustui. Si autem poterit aliquis onus demonstrare potabile et non potabile alter respiciunt tactu et gustu, difficultas erit solvita. Quod enim unum et idem diversimode respiciat duas potentias impossibile est sicut in posito. Nam potabile et non potabile forterioriter respiciunt tactu. potabile and potabile are the same, as both are related to being drinkable and being moist. Moist and not moist are literally perceived through touch and taste, but the drinkable and not drinkable are imagined to be in a moist drinkable substance. Therefore, the moist drinkable is perceived through taste and similarly, the different modes of drinkable and not drinkable are perceived through touch and taste. It could also be said that the drinkable, whether moist or not, simply looks drinkable. A potable thing in its old age is potentially still passable. Agnes takes a sip from its potentiality and assimilates it into herself. In this way, the taste buds perceive and are moist, and therefore, the taste buds must be able to be moist in order to be able to humidify or assimilate the agent. Imaginably, what is mobile and passed from itself is not assimilated by the agent, yet the taste buds can. assimilari, because a thing that is mobile does not have a form of its own that it receives from the agent. Since if it had the form of it in potency, it would receive it from the recipient. The recipient must be deprived of form by nature, given that the instrument of taste is pacified by the moist tastable, it is necessary that it be deprived of nature so that it is not actually moist. This is what the letter says. Because the tastable supplies what acts in taste is moist. Therefore, it is necessary that the instrument of taste not be moist in actuality but moist in potentiality, so that it is not impossible for it to be moistened itself. In this way, taste endures the tastable, just as every sensitive thing endures the sensible in its own way. Therefore, the tastable must be humid insofar as the organ of taste is already passive and the assimilative power is humectated. The same is true of the organ as it is gustatory, i.e., it is possible to minimize it from the tastable, but it must not be moist to the point of damaging its nature. percipere omnes sapores. If Physis says, taste all flavors. Therefore, it is necessary that one be deprived of all flavors, so that in one's own nature, one has no flavor. Then, when he says Signum ante, he manifests this by some sign. He said that the organ of taste is moist. This is manifested by his saying that the sign of the aforementioned is that the organ of taste should not be moist but should be such that it can moisten. For it does not happen that one can taste a dry tongue or even a wet one that is very moist. And this is because the taste is hindered by the preceding moistness. When the tongue is very moist, the first touch is with the moisture of the preceding moisture. For when someone has an infected tongue with some flavor, whatever he touches afterwards tastes of the first flavor and even of the first flavor with which it is infected. Exemplum. If someone has tasted a flavor once and afterwards tastes another, he will not perceive the second or still retains the first moisture in his tongue. And similarly for those who are laboring. The fabricators seem to see everything bitter: for the tongue is infected with coleric humidity and is bitter. Then the Spe spews out hope from the earth. He determines the types of sapors, saying that in the types of sapors, it is as it is in the type of colors. Colors, some are simple and extreme, while others are mixed and medium. The extremes are like white and black, while the medium are like pale and dark. The composed ones are either white and black or a combination of both high and low. Such are the sapors, some simple and some medium and some composed. Simple ones are contrary, sweet and bitter. The simple sapors follow immediately after the one tasted. Sweet follows fat, bitter follows salty. Others, the medium sapors, have sharp, pungent, and bitter tastes, which avoid the earth, that is, the sapors. To these sharp sapors, the taste is attracted in the potecia, that is, the organ of taste. The gustable potecia draws them in. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be about the five senses, specifically taste. Here's the cleaned text:\n\nactu.

In prima movet quasdam dubitationes circa sensum tactum. Secundo manifestat veritatem circa hunc sensum ibi. Prima pars dividitur in: The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between touch and tangible objects. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"The three parts. Because the philosopher first says that the same thing is sought in touch and the tangible. In the second place, he raises two doubts about touch there. He has a doubt. In the third place, he solves those doubts there. For all senses, indeed. Regarding the first, he says that the same rule is about touch and about that which can be touched, i.e., the tangible. If he does not call it touch unless there is one touch and not several, it is necessary to say that tangibles are not one genus of sensibles but many. It should be noted that, although touch is the foundation of all other senses, it is less spiritual among them. Therefore, it is determined last. It should be noted that the proportion is between agent and patient. The agent is one reason arguing that there can be one reason and agency of diverse reasons. Tangible and touch are such that the tangible is the agent and touch the patient. Therefore, if there is a giving of different touches, it is possible that tangibles are many and not one.\" This text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to be a philosophical or scientific text discussing the nature of touch and the sense of touch in animals. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"this is what physic [says], that the same ratio is for the tangible and touch, for if one is multiplied and reduced. Then, when it says, \"it has doubt,\" it moves two doubts about touch. The first doubt is whether there are more senses of touch or one alone. The second doubt is what sensitiveness is, that is, the organ of sensation in touch. Whether flesh is the organ of sensation in animals that have flesh and in others that do not have flesh, the instrument of touch is something proportional to flesh or not. But what this means, namely, whether flesh or something proportional to flesh is the medium in the sense of touch, the first sense is something that is within, that is, inside the flesh. Note that not all living beings have blood, but some have something in place of blood, such as humour, in the same way, not all animals have flesh, but some have flesh and some have something proportional to flesh.\" The question is whether something porcine is in the middle, in touch or instrument, of a living being. The ratio of this porcine quality is in question in touch or instrument. Then, when Omni asks what the meaning is, he determines and separates these two doubts. If he determines the first, the second is there. Whether it is sensitive or not, the first is determined in three ways. The first, because the touch of the roe is not one, but rather points to something contrary. The second, contrary to the roe, proposes a sophistical solution. He has a solution, but this solution excludes it. If it is one, the first argues through the roe that the touch is not one, but rather multiple. A single touch is not one contrariety, but rather several, therefore the touched object is not a single sense, but rather a greater sense. A single sense is one contrariety, as sight is respecting another and black, and hearing respecting heavy and sharp. Taste, however, is respecting sweet. The text appears to be written in an ancient Latin script. I have translated it into modern English below:\n\n\"Sweet and bitter, these contrary states were touched by more than a few contrary natures in it, because in it, what is touched is in the tangible, these contrary natures are. Warm and cold, moist and dry, and such things as heavy and light, and sharp and soft, and thick and thin, one might seek. The soft and moist are to be reduced to some dry and moist contrary natures, since warm and cold are dry and moist. Secondly, dry and moist. It is said that where the soft and moist are not so sensitive to touch as dry and moist. The dry is what resists being touched in this way or seems to be reduced to dry. But the soft is what yields to the touch when it has returned to the touch in some way, and the moist is and the soft are to be reduced to moist and dry.\"\n\nTherefore, the seeker might seek between heavy and light, between soft and hard, between warm and cold, between moist and dry. And it is said that heavy and light, soft and hard, warm and cold, moist and dry, see each other more clearly. Reducing things to sensibles, the nose is heavily affected by touch and light. What is heavy is that which tends quickly from above and light that which tends to the cards and is heavy and light through this tendency or motion. Motion is a common sensible. I have seen, however, that things appear reduced to their place or figure, for one figure is rough where one part presses against another and smooth where the parts are equally situated. Place and figure are sensibles. They also appear reduced to the common sensible, the smooth and the rough. Some may ask what is seen and touched that is reduced to dry and moist. The asperous is not easily affected by many bodies or surfaces. The moist, however, is something fluid where the parts flow into one surface.\n\nThirdly, one might ask whether there is something else sensible to touch that is not reduced to anything prior. It is said that there is not. The resolution of continuity in the body. que est ex vulnere vel alio sentitur et non per quod priorum. Dissolutio non sentitur nec ex humido nec ex sicco nec ex gui nec ex leui nec ex calido nec ex frigido, et sicut hic dicit, de dissoluzione continui ita dicendum est de consolidatione opposita. Hoc enim consolidatio non sentitur per aliqnam qualitatum priorum.\n\nDeinde quod ditit. Habet autem solutionem quam dam ponit quandam solventem contra rationem iam dictam, qua probabatur quod sensus tactus non est unus. Ad cuius evidenciam notandum est quod argumentum, quod tenet ratione formae, debet teneri in omni materia. Si igitur ratio formae hoc sit bonum argumentum in tactu, plures contrarietates sunt in tactu, ergo tactus non est unus sensus. Ergo bonum argumentum in visu et eciam in auditu ita arguemus. In auditu sunt plures contrarietates, scilicet acutum et grave, magnum et parvum, asperum et lenem. Ergo auditus non est unum. if touch was the argument, it will be good in hearing, and if it is not good in hearing, it was not a good argument in touch. Since it did not hold in hearing, there was no sensation, therefore it did not hold in touch. This is what the law says. The reason given has a certain apparent solution. In other senses, there appear to be contradictions, as is clear in hearing. For instance, around a sound that is audible, not only the contrast with the skin and heavy is considered, but also the difference in size and pitch. A voice can be large and small, smooth and rough. And similarly, around color, there can be found other differences due to contrast, such as the difference between white and black. For instance, a color is sometimes intense, sometimes faint, sometimes turbid, and sometimes clear. Some are received as subjects in relation to matter, and here it is received as a subject in touch, as if it were a sensation of the law. {con}trarie\u2223tates que sunt in tactu no\u0304 reducun\u00a6tur ad vnum genus et qr no\u0304 redu\u00a6cuntur ad vnu\u0304 genus sensus tact{us} non est vnus \u00b6Quereret aliquis Vtrum ea que senciuntur a sensu particulari sint vnius intencionis\u00b7 Videtur autem {quod} non\u00b7 quia vnus sensus {per}ticularis est respcu\u0304 dua{rum} specierum sicut visus respectu albi\net nigri sed due spe\u0304s sunt due inte\u0304\u00a6tiones ergo ea que sunt vm{us} s\u0304sus uo\u0304 sunt vni{us} inte\u0304tionis \u00b6Ad op\u2223positu\u0304 est dcm\u0304 {con}me\u0304tatoris qui dt {quod} s\u0304sus no\u0304 est vnius nisi {per} vna\u0304 in\u00a6tentione\u0304 \u00b6Ad ha\u0304c q\u0304stione\u0304 dice\u0304du\u0304 est {quod} aliqua ee\u0304 vni{us} inte\u0304tionis. qr sunt vni{us} spe\u0304i & sic {pro}prie accipitur ee\u0304 vni{us} inte\u0304tionis. vna em\u0304 spe\u0304s e\u0304 vna forma & vna inte\u0304tio Ideo dcm\u0304 est vij. phisico{rum} {quod} vniuocatio {pro}p\u0304e e\u0304 in spe\u0304. ista em\u0304 sunt vniuoca quo\u00a6ru\u0304 nome\u0304 & inte\u0304tio est vna sic\u0304 ergo vua inte\u0304tio {pro}prie e\u0304 in spe\u0304 ita & vni\u00a6uocatio et si sic accipiat ee\u0304 inte\u0304co\u0304is no\u0304 est necesse {quod} ea q\u0304 sunt vni{us} sen\u00a6sus siut vni{us} inte\u0304co\u0304is qr The Latin text reads: \"vt [pro]batu\u0304 est in argue\u0304do unius sensus p\u0304t ee\u0304 respectu diversarum spe\u0304rum. secundo modo aliqua dn\u0304r ee\u0304 unius intencionis quia sunt unius generis propinqui, hoc modo videt dixisse phs\u0304 i\u0304 lr\u0304a quod visus est unum contrarietatibus que funt reducetur ad una intencione\u0304.

Secondly, some people, being of one intention, since they are close in kind, are said to have stated that one sense, which is reduced to a single intention in the face of contrarieties. Tactus, however, is a single sense in the face of contrarieties in touch, and is not reduced to a single intention, for when one imagines that one genus divides into two contrary natures and that one is of a single nature and contrary status, it is understood that the sense, in its small aspect, goes beyond the intention of the genus. Secondly, it divides that genus. If, in its small aspect, it goes beyond contraries, it cannot prevent two contraries from arguing for two senses. Therefore, there are two objects. Moreover, and in itself, it argues for two possibilities. Secondly, when one imagines that from one contrariety, one genus argues for many contrarieties, it argues for many genera and.\" \"The consonant argent presents multiple meanings. Another argues against it, which is in taste contrasted with what is in smell and sound. It should be noted that the one consonant argues for one genus in its own and particular way, and there is another reason for its common and intellectual function. Thirdly, some of these do not belong to the same class or have a formal and immutable potentiality. This potentiality does not say one genus or one contrariety. We have seen that all objects of the senses, in their particularity, change the common sense under some form. All objects of the senses concern multiple contrarieties and generate many genera. Nor is it clear that one contrariety argues for one genus, since there are many contrarieties and many genera under one sense. However, these contrarieties have a diverse formal and intentional aspect.\" We imagine that the more potent the object is for one sense, the more powerful and motivating the reason for that sense is, and the object of motion for this sense is universal. The object of motion for the particular sense is this sensible object or that one. The object of motion for the common sense is sensible in common, more concerned with this particular sense's object than with the others.\n\nTo the argument that argues about the unity of intentions which is in the species:\n\nWe would reply that contradictions, which are in some tact, can be reduced to one submission. For contradictions are taken in two modes. In one mode, contradictions are taken as a genus that is divided and specified by contrary differences and by the differences themselves. actuatur as a potency because it holds a container, for the difference is a place of action and if this is taken in this way, it sees to say that phus in lra, which is not the same in substance and consequently is not one touch. One commentator. If touch is one, it is necessary that the modes, both direct and reverse, which it apprehends, are of one genus in relation to what is said of them, unless equivocally, as is said of hot and cold, heavy and light, not being said purely equivocally. In another way, genus is called substance that is subject to the genus of which contrarieties are. For example, we say that color is divided by black and white, like by contrary qualities. Substance of color is a body that receives color and is not a subject like a genus but is a subject in a different way, being divided by two contrary qualities and if this is taken in that sense, subject. In this way, the one substance of tangible qualities is a body belonging to the consistency of an animal. Therefore. infras discussed are the tangible qualities of the body, which are distinguished from one another by the elements. Of these, the sense of touch is discrete, pertaining to the consistency of an animal. Whether touch is one or many is uncertain. If it were many, let us suppose there were two, they would not be so closely united as is commonly stated.\n\nAgainst this, there is the nature of matter. To this question, it must be said that touch can be perceived in two modes, formally or subjectively. Many things differ formally from one another and have no single subject, such as color and taste in a fruit. Color and taste differ formally and have no single subject. Therefore, if we speak of the formal unity of touch, it must be said that there is not one sense of touch to which the aforementioned ratio applies, for the two contrarieties which cannot be reduced to one another do not argue for two distinct senses.\n\nThe contrariety that is in taste, for example, contrarietas quia est in colere arguet duos sensus et hoc. Quod una non reducitur ad alia nec contrarietas duarum est una generis, sed duo colores et sapores. Sic autem est in tactu. Calidum et frigidum, humidum et siccum sunt duae contrarietates, quae una non reducitur ad aliam ideo arguet plures sensus tactus. Si aut loquimur de unitate subjectiva, tactus non est plures sensus. Sed unus quia radicantur in uno subjecto propter unitatem, unus tactus non seperatur ab alio, puta tactus qui est respectu calidi et frigidi, non seperatur isto qui est respectu humidi et sicci, et quia non seperantur ideo prie proprie dico quod sunt sex sensus propter insperabilitatem duorum tactuum, non distinguimus inter tactum et tactum, sicut quod appetitus sequitur sensum et numquam seperatur ab ipso appetitiuum, non facit gradum viuiciuium contra sensitium. Ita, ea quod unus tactus non seperatur ab alio, unus non fit numerus. contra aliuiu: This is the second question and doubt concerning the instrument of touch. The doubt is about whether the instrument of touch is flesh or some other substance within the flesh, and this is divided into two parts. First, it queries whether it was made in the middle or naturally moves from outside, and there will be doubt about this outside. The second queries whether it is one or more there. The third posits that there is something else for its manifestation there.\n\nFirst, in the third place, it queries what it is. The second concludes what conclusion should be made for the manifestation of the first truth in the first question, that is, that there are multiple touches there. The third posits something else for its manifestation there.\n\nDemonstrates this first, therefore, it queries the question concerning the instrument of touch. It is noteworthy that those who want to prove that flesh is the instrument of touch argue as follows:\n\nThat instrument of touch, whose touch we immediately sense as tangible and which soon becomes the sense of touch itself. But we soon sense tangible things being touched by the touch of flesh, therefore, the sense of touch is also that. The flesh is an instrument in the sense of touch. This is not an argument to prove that if someone were to stretch a subtle skin over the flesh, they would feel it as tangible, for that skin would not be a tactile organ in itself. Therefore, the flesh is a mediocre native instrument in touch and not an organ. This is what we perceive to happen: the touch is simultaneous with the touch of the thing being touched. The fact that this is sufficient sign is questionable, for if someone were to stretch something over the flesh, such as skin or a subtle thread, and it came into contact with the flesh, it would be felt as tangible and it is constant that in this case, in such skin, there is no instrument through which we feel. However, there is a point to be noted: the argument intends to prove that the flesh is a tactile instrument and did not take occasion from other senses. In this, it is acknowledged that a sense arises in other senses when it becomes sensitive to a species in an organ. Soon, the sensitivity to a species in an organ becomes sensitive. They argued thusly beforehand. The touch of flesh is sensitive to tangible things soon, therefore, the flesh is an organ of touch, but in truth, their argument is null and falls into a fallacy, for the sensitivity to a species in an organ does not follow. Therefore, whatever is touched by the touch of the flesh is an organ. They argued thusly, and they could argue thusly no further. A species is prior in the middle than in the organ, for the organ receives what is given to it from the middle, and the middle receives from the object. If, therefore, flesh were the middle before it were a tangible quality in the flesh rather than in the organ, it would not be possible for the touch of the flesh to sense tangible things. This prior sensible quality would be in the flesh and would not yet be the sense of touch, for such a species was not yet present. organo tactus autem fit nisi in specie sensibili, in organo. Argumentum hoc nullest, nec in visu si visio sit in instanti, sicut physica de sensu et sensato. Quod in eodem instanti, in quo spes est in medio immutetur, potencia visiva eodem modo non est necessarium, quod caro prius tempore immutetur quam organo tactus. Si prius tempore mutaretur, bene sequeretur, quod mox ad tactum carnis nos sentiremus tangibilia. Deinde, cum dicit, \"Proter quod talis pers concludit quaedam veritatem ex qua declaratur prima questio,\" tria ponitur in prima phi: quod si aer per quem videmus audimus et olfacimus, esset nobis consimile carne et aere. Nunc est uo est consimile quod caro sit medium intrinsecum et naturaliter respectu tactus, aer autem medium extrense respectu visus et olfactus. Si autem aer esset nobis consimile sicut caro, ita et aer. In the middle is our natural state. From this it follows in the sentence that fire is not one with the middle, nor is flesh intrinsically good. Touch is common to the hot and cold, and touch is also the same for the wet and dry, therefore they are one and the same. Sight, hearing, and smell are through one medium, that is, through air, therefore they are one sense. If air were natural to us, it would appear to someone that the three senses are one. But since flesh is in the middle, intrinsically and not distinct from us, it is apparent to many that the sense of touch is one. Thirdly, it follows in the sentence that fire is not in the middle because, although it may be in touch when placed among tangible things and mixed with earth, it is impossible for the middle in touch to be a simple body like air. It is impossible for our bodies to be simple, for these three things are included in the sentence. phi per labor Et quo ad pmu principia secundo quo ad secutus ibi videmus ei quo ad tertio ibi.

I will attempt to translate and clean it as faithfully as possible to the original content.\n\nThe text reads: \"Est medium in tactu est nobis adunatum et quod per ipsum fit tactus, cum tamen tactus sunt plures sensus. Notandum quod ex his ostia destruit quidquid appareret contra veritatem primae questionis. Veritas primaquis est quod suss tactus erat plures et non unus.

It is important to note that from these openings it destroys whatever appears against the truth of the first question. The truth of the first question was that the tactile sensation was several and not one. Contrarily, whatever appeared was that the tactile sensation became one through a natural medium for us, from which it could be proven that the tactile sensation and one were. This appearance was destroyed, as the medium was not only natural but also a mixed body. The unity of this body does not argue for the unity of the tactile sensation, nor does the unity of the media argue for the unity of sight, hearing, and smell. One might inquire. Whether the body is said to be simple or mixed. It should be said that such a body should be mixed according to three reasons. The first reason is taken from the diversity of terrestrial organs, which requires the exercise of its operations through another organ, namely sight and another.\" This text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to discuss the nature of senses and their perception of various qualities. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nest auditus et sic de alis operationibus aequeque requirit determinata organa. Corpus aut sive simplex non recipit talia organorum disutus. Secunda via sumit ex hoc, quod alter est in medio in tactu et in alis sensibus. Hoc est regulare et universale in medio cuicunque sensus. Quod autem de ratione mediis, quod nulla qualitate illius rei sic sensibilis cuiusque sensus dum in actu est, sed dum in potencia ad omnem talem qualitatem.

Tale medium non est coloratum, est acipi absonum, est modificabile. Secundum autem intelligitur quod medium sit in oleo pateat qualitate qua recipit, sed quia pungens est qualitate in excellentia, tale medium in tactu est reducendum ad equalitatem propter quam equalitatem est in quodam recessu ab excellentiis qualitatibus. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of simple bodies and their tangible qualities. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Sensibiliu. Si aut corpus aitatus est quod est medium in tactu, esset elementum simplex sequeret quod medium in tactu haberet qualitates tangibles in excelsa. Argumentum enim sic qualitates tangibles sunt in corporibus simplicibus. Si corpus simplex et medium in tactu sequeret quod medium in tactu haberet qualitates tangibles in excelsa, quod impossibile. Hoc autem impossibile sic. Medium in sensu denudatum a natura recepit, sed medium in tactu recipit qualitates in excelsa. Quare tale medium tales qualitates sensitur, debet ea denudare a talibus qualitatibus. Tercia via est via phaenomenon qua ponit in lucem. Medium enim in tactu non potest esse tempus ex terra quia tunc non haberet aptitudinem ad vitam. Terra enim frigiditate et siccitate mortificative. Et ideo quod omnino terrarum non vivit. Non potest etiam tale medium esse tempus ex aqua vel aere cuus ratio hic dicta est quia tale\" medium is not firm and flexible. Otherwise, in it no operations can be performed swiftly and effectively. It should be noted that the medium in a text should not be a body itself, but rather a body suitable and natural for us, whose purpose is that through such a medium messages are conveyed to us. Therefore, evil things should recede from harmful ones and be joined together through what has a strong hold on them, so that harmful corruption and beneficial convergence can be contained.\n\nThen he says, \"Let it be shown, therefore.\" He puts forth that, because of what still manifests the truth of the matter, it could appear to someone that the touched (calidi and frigidi) and the touched (humidi and ficci) are one touched thing, because here the touched and that one are always joined and are in every part of the body. But this, however, has no appearance.\n\nGiven that the touched and the taster are joined in the tongue, yet they are not one sense, it is clear that in some part of the body the touched is repeated, where taste is found. tactus and gustus are felt in the entire body as one feels nuts. It is difficult to distinguish between two touches at that time, just as it was difficult to distinguish between touch and taste. Therefore, the Latin language shows that there are more than one touch, despite the conjunction of multiple touches in the subject. We feel all tangible things through the tongue, and we feel the same thing through the tongue, that is, flavor. However, touch and taste seem to be one sense if they were in the entire body. However, since where touch is, it does not appear that it is taste. It should be noted that the diversity of senses should be understood from the diversity of objects and not from the subject. Therefore, we say that taste is not touch in the tongue, despite the unity of the subject, and taste and touch in the tongue have different objects. We must argue in the same way that there is diversity in touch from the diversity of objects, not because of the unity of the subject. Notandum est quod non per tempus tactus fit gustus, quia sapores non sunt qualitates elementorum ex quibus animal constet. Quod autem aliquis hic philosophus movet quamdam dubitationem. Ut in tactu sit medium extrinsecum et primum probat quod in tactu est medium extrinsecum. Secundum quaerit ut sit quamquam tactu ad medium extrinsecum de tactu et alis sensibus ibi. Tercio enim onnit quod alterum medium extrinsecum in tactu et alis sensibus ibi differt tangibili. Ad evidentiam notandum quod intellectus philosophus ad probandum quod in tactu requirit medium extrinsecum fundat super tres propositions. Prima propositio est quod alia hoc virtute tactuaria non habitant nisi in aqua vel in aere. Secunda propositio est quod nihil tangit in aqua nisi superficiem humidam vel humefactam, ex quo. sequit quod illa humiditas est media inter tangentes et tangible. Tertia proposito est quod ista humiditas sit in corpore humido, sive aqua sive aera. Cuero illa humiditas sit media inter tactum et tangibile. Quod aliquid corporis extrinsecus sit medium inter tactum et tangibile, hoc est intuitum, quod debuit probari et sic loqui que dividit in duas partes, quae duae physicae ostendit, quod in his que tanguntur in aqua media extrinsecus sunt aqua. Secundo, quod ipsa tanguntur in aere media extrinsecus sunt aer ibi. Ideo Quatuor adhuc dubitare circa tactum Utrum fiat mediante aliquo corpore extrinseco. Video enim quod sic omnia corpora profunda. Hoc autem profundum est terna magnitudo. In the first place, there are three dimensions: length, width, and depth. If any one body is deeply contained within other bodies, it does not touch another body immediately. Therefore, if these bodies interpose moisture or humidity, they do not touch each other immediately. It is necessary that between these bodies there be water, and if this moisture becomes watery. Moisture is not without water. Therefore, bodies touching each other in water do not touch each other immediately, because water is necessary between them as a medium. If, however, this is impossible, one body cannot touch another in water without a medium. It should be noted that the phrase \"ro\u0304 phi\u0304 in brevi potest esse talis\" is brief. A body placed between two bodies prevents immediate contact, and this is because the body is extended, but the water between the touching bodies is a body, and therefore water prevents immediate contact in those things that touch each other in water. Afterward, it is said:\n\nTherefore, if this is so, it is impossible for one body to touch another in water without a medium. \"Eodeas autem in eis, quod tanguntur in aere, fit mediator corpore externo et pter eos racemos suos in brevi talis. Sicut aqua ad ea, quod tanguntur in aqua, ita aer ad ea, quod tanguntur in aere, sed aqua prohibet immediatim in his, quod tanguntur in qua. Ergo et aer conformiter fit huic, quod dicit Lactantius, quod idem est in aere sicut in aqua. Similiter, aer ad ea, quae sunt in aere, et aqua ad ea, quae sunt in aqua. Sed magis enim nos latet aere quod sit medium quam aqua. Propter hoc, quod continuo sumus in aere, imperceptibiliter inest, et similiter alia quae sunt in aqua latet, si duo corpora humectata per aquam tangantur. Notandum est, quod alia ratio est quare nos latet magis de aere quam de aqua, quia aer subtilior est et perceptibilis minus.\" materialior est et io\u0304 magis a sensu percipit. Queret aliquis ut hoc medium externum, de quo facit mentionem, prohibeat tactu sensibus ea denudatum. Quodquid mediocre in quolibet sensu debet denudatum a qualitatibus sensibilibus esse illud. Sicut diaphanum denudatum est a coloribus, cuique hoc medium, quantum potest, phusis habet qualitates tangibles. Quare medium, quantum potest, phusis habet, debet tangibus qualitatibus denudatum esse, ut aer et aqua, quia sunt facilia mutare ab extrinsecis qualitatibus et paucis sunt qualitatis, sicut in aere et aqua quae inclusi sunt infra duo corpora se tangentia et quia sunt facilia mutare, ideo non probent sensum tactus quin per ipsum possit fieri. Adquiesce duobus tamen quod aer minus impedit.\n\n(The medium is denser and more readily perceived by the senses. One might ask why this medium, in making mention of it, should not be denuded of its tangible qualities. It seems that in every sense, the medium should be denuded of sensory qualities in order to touch it. Just as the transparent is denuded of colors, this medium, as much as it can, should have tangible qualities. Why? Because air and water are easily changed by external qualities and have few qualities themselves, just as in air and water that are enclosed between two tangible bodies and are easily changed, therefore they do not grant the sense of touch unless it can touch them through itself. However, we should concede two things: air is less impeding.) \"The water {quam} has qualities less perceptible to the touch. Therefore, if the qualities tangible of air and water are more intermingled, the sense of touch is more impeded. Secondly, one might ask whether elements can be affected by elements in which they naturally exist. Whether fish can be affected by water and other animals that live in the air by the air itself. It should be said {quod} regarding this question, the commentator gave one answer and the moderns another. The commentator said {quod} we are not affected by air and water, the reason being based on two foundations. The first foundation is that whatever is affected is affected by its contrary. This foundation is clear, for every passive thing is first affected by its contrary in the beginning, but in the end it becomes similar. Therefore, every passion and every alteration is drawn towards its term and similar to the agent. The second foundation is {quod} that which is located is not contrary to its place but rather more similar. The reason for this foundation is clear, for the contrary naturally moves the new. \" The following text does not require cleaning as it is already in modern English and the content is clear. However, I will provide a translation of the Latin text for those who may not be familiar with it:\n\n\"On the contrary, the body does not oppose that from which it originates from the first principle. But let us compare this to air and water. Just as a thing is located to a place, so too are we not subject to air and water. Modern scholars hold and follow another view, stating that our bodies are subject to air and water. The reason for this is based on two foundations. The first foundation is that our bodies, like the elements, are subject to the same containment in relation to their own bodies and to the bodies that contain them. This is similar to the way elements are located to their own places. The second foundation is that the elements change in their extremities. \" If simple elements, such as those in meteorology, are located and undergo change by the element that locates them and are in turn located by the place, this can be argued from them. In this way, a simple element behaves towards its place like a body towards its container, and a mixed body towards the body containing it. However, commentators interpret this differently. Some say that elements should be considered in two ways: one as substantial forms, the other as active and passive qualities. If they are considered in this way, the reason for the location and containment of elements is clear. This is evident because an element is more formal and therefore has a greater reason for being located and contained, while that which is less formal and more material has a lesser reason for location and a greater reason for being located at. We can imagine that a celestial body is a formal body and therefore is especially saved in it with regard to the reason for location and containment. In other cases, however, this is not the case. The text appears to be written in an old form of Latin, possibly with some errors introduced during Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing. I will attempt to clean and translate it to modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\ncorpora que sunt infra spem actuorum et passivorum magis salutant loci quanto magis salutant in eis ratio formae. Tanto autem magis ratio formae in talibus corpora quanto magis appropinquant ad primum corpus, id est corpus celeste. Si autem considerentur elementa sic in eis salutant ratio passionum et alterationis. Hoc patet ad rationem commentatoris. Nam hanc viam ab alio originet ratio locationalis et ratio alterationis, et per consequens non est impossibile quod elementa quae habent rationem locati sint similia suis locis et ut sic non patiabuntur ab eis. Sed tamen quod unum elementum contrariatur aliquibus qualitatibus suis, potest ab eo pati. Alii sunt qui alio modo respondeant ad rationem commentatoris, dicentes quod non solum formae substantiales subiectales sunt. Sicut enim qualitas elementi est ratio movendi, ita est ratio locandi. Imaginantur isti quod elementum locans permittit cuusque elemento locato et partim.\n\nCleaned and translated text:\n\nThe bodies that are below the threshold of active and passive ones are more beneficial to the place the more beneficial the place is to them, in proportion to the degree they approach the first body, that is, the celestial body. If, however, they consider the elements in this way, the ratio of passions and alterations is beneficial to them. This is clear to the commentator's reason. For this way of reasoning originates from another source, that of location and alteration, and therefore it is not impossible that the elements, which have a locational reason, are similar to their places and do not suffer from them. However, one element can be affected by another element insofar as it opposes certain of its qualities. Others, however, respond differently to the commentator's reason, stating that not only substantial forms are subjected to the forms. For the quality of an element is the reason for motion, and likewise for location. Let us imagine that the placing element allows the placed element and shares in it to some extent. Differt in quo convenit cum eo habet rationem loci, nec unum elementum patitur ab alio nisi quandam aut elementa differunt in qualitate contraria, mutuo se alterant. Quereret aliquis propter dictu commentatoris, utrum aqua calefieri potest. Dicendum est, commentatori aqua calefieri non potest nisi per admixionem corporum externorum. Quia sicut se habet ignis ad suam propria passionem, ita se habet aqua ad suam, ignis autem non potest amittere suam propriam qualitatem. Non emet potest, ergo nec aqua potest amittere suam ex quo sequitur, quod non potest calefieri, ut est in sua puritate existens. Sed quod calefiat, hoc est per admixionem corporum externorum, puta corporum calidorum. Dicit enim commentator, animal non sentit calorem vel frigus in aere aut aqua nisi quaedam corpora calida aut frigida admiscetur eis, i.e., vapores calidi vel frigidi. Aer et aqua sine mixtione corporum talium modicum aut nichil alterant corpora nostra et. due to the resemblance and natural connection that a place has with it. For air and water, the principle of place applies. Our bodies also have a location and since modes change, therefore this change is imperceptible. Some say that the commentator is false, that air and water cannot change without the addition of an external body. This can be refuted in the following way. Generation and corruption are possible, and so is alteration. However, generation and corruption are possible in elements, and therefore alteration is as well. A change is like a way to generation. A change is like a limit with respect to alteration. If a way is possible, then so is a limit and vice versa. Another way would be unnecessary, for a way is unnecessary where a limit cannot be followed. If a limit is possible and a way is possible, since it is possible to introduce a limit, but if there is no way to introduce it, it could also be impossible in the same way. introcuit et non introducere quod est impossibile. Minor est etiam. Nam elementa sunt generabilia et corruptibilia. Tempus non est simile ut commentator de igne et alis elementis diceret. Ignis enim formabilior est omnibus aliis elementis et per consequens maxime activus. Hoc autem activitas facit quod ignis non infringitur sicut aqua calefacit. Quod autem aer et aquam sine mixtione corporis externi non videtur esse verum, cuius ratio est, si supponamus duo fundamenta. Primum fundamentum est quod omne quod est in potentia potest pati ab eo quod est in actu. Secundum fundamentum est quod tangibiles qualitates, que sunt in corporibus nostris, compatibiles sunt ad qualitates elementorum, sicut potentia ad actum. Ex quo sequitur per primum fundamentum quod possunt ab eis pati. Quod autem qualitates que sunt in corporibus nostros non comparantur ad qualitates elementorum sicut potentia ad aliam. actu patet. Nam qualitatges in corporibus nostris sunt in quodam eo fracto et quodam esse medio. In elementis autem sunt suas excelencias. Medium autem est in potencia respectu extremorum.\n\nDeinde cum dicit. Vtrum ergo, quaerit physus vtrum idem modo fit sensus tactus quam alii sensus.\n\nAd cuius evidenciam notandum est (quod) haec quaestio hoc argumentum ad utramque partem ponuntur hic in litera. Argumentum pro una parte potest esse tale. Tactus enim et gustus fit tangendo. Alii autem tres sensus non fit tangendo sed fit per medium quod longe facit distare obiectum. Ergo tactus et gustus differunt ab alis.\n\nArgumentum pro alia parte potest esse tale. Tactus et per consequens gustus fit per medium extrenum sicut et alii sensus, licet in alis sensibus obiectum sentiatur a longe, in tactu autem sentitur de prope. Ergo tactus similiter fit sicut alii sensus.\n\nArgumentum primum ponit in pncipio lr. secundo ibi.\n\nHoc ante non.\n\nQuaedam ad primum argumentum dr in lr quod. Considerandum est omnium sensibilibus similiter fieri sensus, an disimode a deis. In promptu emne videtur quod gustus et tactus differunt a aliis. Nam gustus et tactus sentiunt in eo quod tangunt alia aute three sensus sentiunt a longe. Deinde cum dicit, hoc aute no ponit secundum argumentum ad aliam pertem, dicens quod hoc no est verum, sed gustus et tactus differunt ab alis sensibus, sicut dictum est, sed magis conveniunt cum eis. Dum et molle et alias qualitates tangibles sumus per altera, i.e. per medias extrinsecas, sicut et obiecta aliorum sensuum, scilicet sonabile, visibile et odorabile. Verum est tamen quod haec tria sensibilia longe sunt a sensu. Gustabilia autem et tangibilia sentiuntur de prope propter quam propinquitatem, medium imperceptibile est. Propter enim parvitatem mediij latet nos ut sentiamus per mediis, licet autem latet nos tantum omnia sensibilia sentiamus per medium extrinsecum. De sonabili, visibili et odorabili non. It is doubtful. But it is also true that we can touch and feel it, although this may not appear to be the case with those things that are near us, as we have said before. If we were to touch it through our skin, we would not be aware of what the skin is, because the skin acts as a medium in touch. Similarly, we do not have touch in air and water. If touch were imposed upon us through a medium external to the body, and this ignorance did not obstruct us, we would feel nothing through air or water, therefore, not obstructed by what we do not know, we still feel nothing through touch in air or water. However, the touchable can be felt through a medium external to the body. This is the solution to the preceding question. That is, the touchable can be felt through a medium, that is, through something external. The touchable feels from sounds and visible things. We feel sounds and visible things because the medium moves us, that is, because something causes us to feel. Touchables are felt through touch.\n\nBut the tangible touches us. He noted that the tangible can be touched through a medium from the outside. In this it is noted that the solution to the preceding question is this. That is, the tangible can be touched through a medium from the outside. The tangible feels from sounds and visible things. We feel sounds and visible things because the medium moves us, that is, because something causes us to feel. Touchables are felt through touch. We feel not moved by the middle thing, i.e., not because it is the middle thing that moves us, but rather we are moved by the middle thing as if by something tangible, like a shield struck by it. This happens because the shield struck becomes the cause of the striking, not the other way around. But at the same time, both the shield and the shield-bearer are struck. Someone may ask, what is the difference between touch and other senses. Or were other senses also from the middle? Touch, however, is said to be in the middle, because these things are positioned according to causality and import. The three senses, hearing, sight, and smell, are from the middle or the middle is their cause of change. The sensible thing does not change the middle, but the middle changes the sense in a causal way. However, if such a middle were not the cause, there would be no sensation of the three senses. Touch is not made from the middle externally, or the middle is not the cause that the tangible is sensed, but rather an impediment. If not by such a middle. \"melius sentit et quod non est causa tactile non sentit per medium externum vel a medio. Sed magis tactus sentit cum medio. Quod est hoc posituum, dicit habitudine simultas. Si quidem simultas prius est aliquid prius, et quia in tactu prius prius est prius in causando, quia medium non est causa immutationis, ideo tactus sentit cum medio et non a medio. Notandum quod in aliquo sensu simultas est que prius excludit ordinem temporis, tamen non est ibi simultas que prius excludit ordinem causalem et talis simultas est in visu. Si autem visio fit in instanti, oportere quod simul tempore movetur medium ab obiecto et sensus a medio, et sic hoc simultas excludit ordinem temporis, licet autem excludat ordinem causae, quia medium est causa quod visus videt. In aliquo sensu simultas est que excludit ordinem causae, non tamen omnino excludit ordinem servitium. Mediatum sit quod tangibile.\" The text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of touch and the senses. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Propinquus est aeri vel aque mediating tactui. Tercio sensus in quibus prioritas est tempus et causam et situm, hoc in perceptione somni et odoris, est successeione temporis ex quod sequitur ibi prius tempore. Quia prius immutat medium ab obiecto quam sensus a medio secundus est ibi prius causalitate quoq; mediuum externum in auditu et olfactu non solum est per accessiones, sed ea per se quoq; causaliter immutant tales sensus ita quod tales sensus fuissent a medio et non cuique medio. Tercio est ibi prioritas sm situ quoq; sonabile et odorabile propinquiora sunt siualiter medio quam sensui.\n\nAdhuc autem videtur postquam physus movit quasdam queestiones circa sensum tactus. Hic determinat de tactu quidem quantum ad medium, secundo quantum ad organum ibi. Tangibles quidem, tercio quantum ad obm quod sensus tactus percipit ibi. Amplius autem determinat de tactu quo ad medium.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"Propinquus is closer to air or water in the case of touch. In the third kind of senses, where there is priority of time and cause and place, this occurs in the perception of dreams and smells, in the sequence of time from what follows earlier in time. Because the medium is changed by the object before the senses are affected by the second sense, and in hearing and smell it is not only through additions but also through itself and causally changes such senses, so that such senses were from the medium and not from the medium itself. The third is the prioritization of touch in place and in what is audible and smellable, which are closer in reality to the sense.\n\nHowever, it also seems that after nature moved certain questions about the sense of touch. Here it determines about touch in the first place how much it is related to the medium, in the second place how much it is related to the organ, and in the third place how much it is related to the object that the sense of touch perceives there.\" The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the role of the body in various senses. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Caro est medium in tactu et ratio sua ad hoc tantum. Sensibile positu sensibili organo aut instrumento sensus non sentitur, tangibile positu supra carnem sentitur. Ergo caro non est organum in tactu nec concurent ad tactum, sed magis concurent ut medium. Sicut aer et aqua ad visum, auditum et olfactum, ita caro et lingua ad gustum et tactum. Hoc enim videtur se habere caro et lingua ad gustum et tactum. In nullo autem istorum sensuum potest fieri sensus si tangatur sensibus. I.e., organum sensus et ideo sensitivum, i.e., organum tactus, tacto unquam potest fieri sensus tactus. Sic enim videtur se habere sensus tactus ad summum organum, sicut alia sensus ad organa. Alia autem sensus non sentiunt sensibilia posita super organum. Si quis enim ponat corpus album super oculos ultimum, i.e., super faciem oculi, unquam fit visio.\" autem hec sint vera: caro in tactum non est ipsa, sed interius in carnem. Caro est medium in tactum, ut in alis sensibus. In alis sensibus, sensus fit cum tangibili posito super carnem, ergo caro non est organum tactus. Quereret aliquis, ut sic se habeat caro ad tactum, sicut se aer et aqua ad visum, olfactum et auditionem, sicut dicit Physica. Est ut sic et ut non. Quod quidem ad hoc est simile, quia sicut aer et aqua medium sunt et non organa, ita caro in tactu est medium et non organum, quasi aer et aqua in visu, auditu et olfactu. Intelligo quod in tactu est medium per se et per accidens. Medium per se est caro. Voco autem. The medieval text reads: \"This [medium] itself, when essentially and in itself is for immutation, is flesh. Just as the diaphaneity necessary for the change of sight, so the flesh is necessary for the change of touch. This medium is in touch air or water. For this reason, the medium does not require or benefit for the sense of touch, but rather the medium is in contact with touching bodies humidified by watery or airy humidity. Therefore, we can have two kinds of mediums: one in which touch is changed by the medium, and one in which the medium changes touch without the medium's causality. If we speak of the first medium, touch is changed by the medium in such a way that the position before it denotes the causality of the medium towards touch. Regarding the second medium, the medium changes touch in such a way that this position denotes the absence of causality of the medium towards the sense of touch. Thus, in this respect, they are similar. However, there is a difference because flesh is the medium inherently and of a different composition from others. Not so is air and water.\" Tangibles quid determinet organum tactus et tria facit quod permo audit quid sunt tangibles. Secundo ex hoc concludit quid organum tactus ibi. Sensitivum aut tercio audit quod aliqualis similitudo est inter tactum et alios ibi. Et os esse Quatuor ad pumum dicit quod tangibles sunt corporealia, corpus hee determinant, i.e. distinguunt elementa ab abstractis. Sunt aut hee tangible calida, frigida, humida et ficca de quibus de corpore generatio. Nunquid est quod hee tangible dicuntur corporealia, corpus cuius ratio est. Quod illud respicit corpus, corpus quod respicit omne corpus nullum aute reperitur corpus infra spheras activarum et passivarum, quod oleum fit denudatum a qualitatibus tangibilibus. Licet hec corpora quanta sit denudata a qualitatibus tangibilibus. Nihil tamen corpora generabilia et alterabilia ab his qualitatibus denudata sunt. Dein. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of the tactile organ and its function. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"The sense of touch is that which perceives and is affected by what is tangible. In the second place, it is to be noted that what is touched undergoes a change and is affected by the object. Similarly, the truth is that every passive thing is such in potentiality as the agent is in act. From these truths, the nature of the tactile organ is concluded. The tactile organ is such in potentiality as tangible things are in act. The tactile organ perceives and is affected by tangible things. This organ is that in which there is the most sensitive sense, which is called touch. The body itself, which is passive and subject to tangible qualities, is able to feel through this organ. To feel is what it means for it to be affected. The sensible agent and maker of the sense of touch acts and makes the sense without an organ. The sensible body feels without an organ in the same way.\" In actu, homo - that is, I - am tangible and sensitive, i.e., I have an organ of touch, which is similar to what I am in actuality, before it is altered by such tangible things. He then says that, similarly, the hot is perceived by the sense of touch as certain tangible qualities. The foundation of this is based on two truths. The first truth is that whatever receives must be deprived of something by nature in order to receive. Therefore, since touch receives tangible qualities, it follows that touch is in some way deprived of them and, if it has them, it must not receive them because it has them. The second truth is that touch has tangible qualities in some manner partitioned. It is deprived of them in order to excel in its own being and to reach the extreme. From this it follows that touch does not feel qualities as they are similar to it, but rather as they are dissimilar and as it does not have them. Such things illuminate him. Medium is the thing that contains and discerns these qualities of touch, but we feel their excellence. Touch exists in a certain middle range of these qualities, and therefore it can distinguish them, that is, perceive them as they are in their extremes. The medium is discriminating between the extremes and can be affected by them as by their opposite. Compared to either extreme, the medium is like touch. This contrast is not the same as the extremes to each other, but rather like the middle to the extremes. The tangible qualities in an organ are not in the middle as they are in the organ, but rather as they are in the object, or in the extreme as the touch is. Therefore, it is not that the organ should not be white or black, but rather that it should be neither white nor black, so that it is potentially both in the power of representation and neutral in action, just as it is in other senses. As it is in other senses, so it is in touch. The organ itself tactus is neither hot nor cold, but is in potential and neutral in poetics and in actu (Noteandu\u0304) for the organ of touch is what is difficult to distinguish from the whole genus of hot and cold, and similarly, the organ of sight from the whole genus of white and black. Yet the organ of touch itself is not easily denuded from these qualities as much as the organ of sight is from the whole genus of white and black. However, the organ of touch is particularly in the middle between opposites. For what is in the middle is the potential for the extremes. Therefore, the organ of touch, as it consists in this middle quality of tangible things, follows that the more an animal is reduced in complexity towards the middle, the better its touch is, and therefore, man is superior in touch among all others, as has been said above. Dein\u0304 further states. Moreover, he determines the tactile sense more precisely by saying that, just as sight is opposed to the invisible and visible and other things are opposed in this way, so touch is opposed to something. For touch is tangible and opposes the opposites. intangibilis. Inintangible is said of two kinds. Or it is called intangible whatever has little difference from tangible things, that is, in the way we say that air is intangible. Or it is called intangible that has much of the tangible quality, exceeding the senses and corrupting itself, and this kind we call intangible because the quality of fire exceeds the senses. Lastly, the philosopher concludes by saying that it is spoken figuratively and superficially about senses, one in particular.\n\nUniversally, after it has been said about senses, one thing must be seen here, which agrees with the sense in common regard to sensibles and is divided into four parts. First, it is shown what agrees with the sense in common regard to sensibles. Second, it is shown what the organ of the sense is. Sensitium, however, is first explained, and in the third place, certain things are declared. The following text is in Latin and has some errors that need to be corrected. Here is the cleaned version:\n\n\"Veritas circa predeterminata ibi. Manifestum igitur ex his quattuor movet quaedam dubitatio circa predicata ibi. Dubitabit aut aliquis. Pomo ergo poit quid est commune omni sensu dicens, quod unisalit hoc opere accipere de omni sensu quam sensus omnis est susceptius sensibilia sine materia. Sicut enim cera recipit figuram anuli vel sigilli sine ferro sine auro, accipit enim cera signum sigilli non tantum est aureum vel aeneum similiter sensus uniusquisque recipit formam sine materia. Patitur enim sensus ab hoc colore aut huic sapore. Sed non tantum unquod illorum dicitur, sed inquantum hoc homo & sensus ratione, id est, non patit recipiendo ab unoquoque illorum inquantum tale visus emim non patitur a lapide colorato inquantum lapis utpote suum pati est sui recipere. Visus autem non recipit colorem illud esse quod habet in lapide sed rationem et formam quare recipit colorem, quod est formale & intentionale. Phusis sensus patitur ab obiecto.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"Truth concerning predetermined matters is there. It is therefore clear from these four that some doubt arises concerning the matters stated there. Someone will doubt. Therefore, the fruit says that what is common to all senses is that it can perceive all sensory data as a sense, which is susceptible to all things without a sense being completely deprived of sensation. Just as wax receives the impression of a ring or seal without iron or gold, the wax receives the impression of the seal not only when it is golden or bronze, but likewise the sense of one person receives the form without matter. However, the sense endures the color or taste. But not only what they call it, but as long as this man and sense are rational, that is, it does not endure receiving from one of them in the same way that the sight does not endure the color of a painted stone as long as the stone endures its own receiving. However, sight does not receive the color as it is in the stone but the reason and form why it receives the color, which is formal and intentional.\" This text appears to be written in an ancient Latin script, and it seems to be a philosophical or theological treatise. I will attempt to clean and translate it into modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\nThe text reads: \"hec passio non largitur sensui, quod recipiat formam sm quodquam obiectorum dr. i. sm modus oborum. Sed sibi largitur, quod recipiat formam sm ratione et sm aliud quam habeat ei in obiecto. Quereret aliquis. Utrum sit verum quod dicit physica sensus est receptivus specierum sine materia. Dicendum est, sic. Hanc veritatem venerari possumus declarando duas veritates. Prima veritas est, quod unio est inter generationem omnino univoca et generationem omnino equivoque & media. Generatio omnino univoca est, quod generatum assimilat generanti in forma et essentia in modo formae. Hoc autem dicimus, quod unio est inter igne generante et ignem genitum. In eodem modo est forma ignis et fit eodem modo. Nam forma ignis est in generante materialiter realiter, et eodem modo est igne genito. Generatio autem omnino equivoca est, quod generatum nullo modo assimilatur generanti in forma et definitione. Hoc autem modo dicimus, quod quod motus generat.\"\n\nCleaned and translated text: \"This sensation does not yield to the sense, which receives the form of the object, that is, the shape of the object. But it yields to itself, which receives the form of the object in reason and something other than what it has in the object. One might ask. Is it true that physical sensation is receptive of forms without matter? It must be so. We can appreciate this truth by declaring two truths. The first truth is that there is a union between generation in its entirety and generation in its entirety and the intermediate. Generation in its entirety is a union that assimilates the generated to the generator in form and essence in the mode of form. We say that the union is between the generating fire and the fire generated. The form of fire is in the generator materially and really, and the same is true of the generated fire. However, generation in its entirety is a union that the generated is in no way assimilated to the generator in form and definition. We say this in the sense that what generates is generated by motion.\" The generation of calor and motion are not similar in form, although they generate and produce heat. The mediated generation, which is both univocal and equivocal, assimilates the generated to the form but not to the middle of the form. We say that the archa in the mind and the archa in matter assimilate in form but not in mode of being. For the form of the archa exists materially and in the very effect. In the same way, the aia exists intentionally and in concept and truth declared. For color exists in the object in the mode of the object, and in the eye it has an intentional and diminished existence. Since the eye or vision receives color without matter, that is, without the mode it has in matter and in the object, we imagine that every reception is in the receiver according to the mode of the receiver. Therefore, color is in the object according to the mode of the object. In this sense, the meaning is taken from the sense itself, not from the object or matter. For example, wax receives a form according to its own mode and not the mode that is in the seal. In the seal, this form is golden or bronze. The color in the object is not the same as in the sense. Therefore, just as properly the wax receives the seal not as gold or bronze, but as properly the sense receives the color not as it is in the thing, but as it is in such or such matter. The commentator says that I receive the forms of sensible things from one sense or another, abstracted from matter. If it received them with matter, it would have them in the soul and outside the soul, which is impossible because these forms are intentions and comprehensions, and outside the soul there are neither intentions nor comprehensions but material things.

There are other agencies that introduce form without assimilating themselves to the matter, and such agencies are objects of the senses. Color introduces the form of color into the air, but there is no assimilation in the matter. For matter of color in the object has the essence terminated as matter or the color in the air has no termination, and in such cases it can be said that the patient receives the form of the generators without matter, that is, without that disposition of matter which is in the generator. It should be noted concerning that word. The sense suffers from the one having color or taste, not in the same way as they have it, but inasmuch as this and that [something] acts upon the senses, but only form acts in sensibles, and therefore it is said that phusis (nature) that the sight is affected by color rather than by the one having it. In this text, the Latin language is used, and there are some formatting issues. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"It should be noted that in its direct expressions, nature made mention of a dual form of reality, both formal and intentional. Among these two forms, there appears to be a threefold distinction. The first form is that which is fixed and permanent and can exist in the absence of the generator or when the generator is corrupt. We say, for example, that fire has this [element] even when the generator is corrupt. The second form is weak and diminished because such forms continue in the generators in such a way that they are not in the absence of these [entities] themselves. We say, for instance, that light is not in the air without the sun generating it. We also say that the color of hope is not in the air without the color being generated and because of this continuity of forms, some say that intentional forms cannot exist without a subject. It is impossible for two real intentional forms to be in the same subject.\"\n\nNumber of intentional forms is taken according to their origin and not according to: The text appears to be written in an old form of Latin, likely from a manuscript or early printed edition. I will attempt to clean and translate it into modern English while preserving the original meaning as much as possible.\n\nsubmTwo lumina eiusdem ratio in one point of air, for two lights require two subjects. Therefore, the number of two lumina is to be counted according to their origin, that is, their generation. The third density gives form to these. In the first place, among forms, there is primarily contrariety, and therefore two such contrary forms cannot be in the same Idem submTwo cannot be both white and dark in the same real albedine & nigredine. In the second place, among intentional forms, they are not primarily contrary, as is clear. If in such forms contrariety could exist, two contrary species could not be in the same, for it is false that the species of white and black can be in the same point of air. This is the doctrine of the sixth metaphysician, where he wants what is in the soul to be a intentional being and less real because of the diminution, and therefore there is no contrariety in it.\n\nThen, when he says, \"Sensitiuum primum organum sensus,\" he is showing what the sensory organ is, saying that sensitiuum primum is the first sensory organ. The first thing to sense is that in which there is the power of sensation, which is the power that is receptive of forms without matter. Here, sense is the same as the subject organ. To be alive is something different, which is defined differently. For the organ, it is that which receives the sense as matter receives form, but the sense and the defining power are the same as those of the organ, and the size or organ in which it is received is not different, but it is that which has the power and potential of the organ and the size. It should be noted that, just as form is matter but more so, the sensitive power is not an organ but more like the reason of the organ and this because the potential is as the form is to the organ. As the soul is above all things to the whole animal, so the potential soul is to the organic part, so that the potential soul may be as the soul organically to the whole animal. tocius animalis. Notandu est quod omnis sus primo et immediate fundat in organo, non quemadmodum in subjecto. Ideo dixit \"phus in lra\" quod sus subjecto idem est cuus organo. Licet sit aliud ratione, si dictum est, et si petes animae que determinant sibi radices in essentia animae tuae sunt in organo sicut in subjecto, ideo sunt idem subjecto cuus organo. Deinde, quod dicit, Manifestum est. Determinat quasdam veritates circa predicta et dividitur in duas partes duas veritates quas determinat. Secunda ibi et propter quid plantas. Pomo ergo determinat prima veritate et est hec veritas: quod excellens sensibile corrumpit sum, hoc est quod dicit: quod ex his pt esse manifestum propter quid excellencia sensibilium corrumpunt sensus, id est organa sensuum. In organis enim sensuum ad hoc quod aliquid sentiatur oporet esse quaedam ratione, proportione uti deest, si ergo motus sensibilis sit fortior natura quam organum, patitur proportio et corrumpitur sus qui constituit. in quadam proportion. Just as some forcefully strike the heart, a tumor dissolves and remains in the same proportion that it existed. It should be noted that I, being corrupted by an excellent sensitive faculty, can be understood in three ways. First, in relation to judgment. Because the excellent sensitive faculty is so excellent that it cannot judge itself. Second, it can be understood that the change made by the excellent sensitive faculty impedes changes in other sensibles, surpassing them as a sensible entity and corrupting the armor and proportion required for sensation, making it itself insensible in this way, so that through it I perceive nothing. Then he says, \"And for what reason is it called a plant?\" He determines the second truth by saying that from what is said, it can be manifest. Although plants have a certain duration of soul and vegetative senses, they can be affected by tangible qualities, but the qualities themselves are not sensed by them. The ratio of sensation is a certain mediated one, in which a plant neither senses matter itself nor the principle of sensing from which it receives species without matter. However, all plants are subject to matter and the material. It should be noted that there are two kinds of ratio. Therefore, plants do not sense. The first ratio is because although a plant is heated by action of form and species, such a passion cannot be in the plant, therefore it cannot have sensation or consciousness of fruit, which could not have the potential to have an actual act. To make this clear, although all things act through form, they do not introduce a material form, which is not an intention or comprehension, and from such an action they do not receive a passion which is sensation. Instead, the agent acts on species and form without introducing a material form. But the form which has intention and comprehension and such an action inflicts a passion which is sensation in plants. apter necessitate sui terrestrialitatem passioneque infertur, hoc est una ratio probandi quod plantae cannot habeas sensum: tactus est fundamentum omnium sensuum, sed tactus non potest esse in platibus; ergo nec alius sensus potest ibi esse, nec nullus sensus potest esse sine sensu fundamentali. Licet hoc non sequitur quia ubi est tactus ibi sint alii sensus, quia plena multa animalia imperfecta habent tactum et tamen non habent alios sensus bene sequitur si impossibile est tactum esse in aliquo quod impossibile est ibi esse alios sensus. Destruuntur quod tactus uot potest esse in plantis, sic neque tactus consitit in qua medietate et proportionem tangibilium, sed plantae propter sui terrestrialitatem non sunt reducere vel sublimare ad hanc medietatem vel proportionem, ergo non habent tactum. Deinde cum dicit, dubitabit autem aliquis. Mouet quaedam dubitatione quae habet originem ex precedentibus. Dictum est enim in: \"Precisely, plants that do not have a sense are subjected to tangible qualities and therefore physical motion raises a doubt. Firstly, it raises the question. Secondly, it objects to one part, namely, whether it is olfactory. Thirdly, it determines the truth of that question there. Therefore, and so forth. Fourthly, it solves the argument against the truth of that question there. What is it to desire? Therefore, it moves doubt. Some will doubt. Whether it is impossible for the impossible to be perceived by the olfactory sense, and whether it is impossible for the visible to be affected by color, and similarly, we can inquire about other senses, such as in hearing. Whether what is impossible to be perceived by hearing can be affected by sound, as it is said that what is impossible to be touched can be affected by tangible qualities, as is the case with the plant that is affected by heat and cold.\" If something smells, it raises a question and brings up a debate about it. Following the example given, it is clear that there is a difference in qualities between tangible things and other qualities in that regard. However, for clarity, I note that a substance wants to prove that anything which is affected by a smell cannot be affected by a smell or color, or sound in the same way. Namely, an action of a smell is to move the olfactory sense, so where there is no olfactory sense, there is no action of the smell. If the ability to act is possible for the subject, then the possibility of the action's suspension is impossible, and the olfactory sense's reception is possible with regard to the action following from the smell. Therefore, by argument, it could be posited that the reception of the action of the smell is possible. \"If the mind does not act or respond to that which is seen and heard, another reason can be derived. To smell is a natural passion brought about by a smell. Where there is no smell, there can be no action of smelling. And since a natural action cannot exist without a natural passion, therefore in those who have no sense of smell, that passion which is smelling cannot exist, because around those things there can be no action of smelling. If the eyes see something, it is something capable of moving the sense of smell. If something moves the sense of smell, it is a smell. And if from the root of the smell something moves the sense of smell and the sense of smell is moved, it follows that nothing is impossible for the sense of smell to endure in the presence of a smell. And just as it is with smell, so it is with the other senses, sight and hearing. Not every possible thing can be affected by these senses. But it is affected by sensible things in one respect, that is, by sensible things.\" sensibilibus only permits what has sense. Then he says, \"Similarly, it makes the manifest clear through an example, as I have said, and what kind of thing puts us in an uncertain state. Secondly, it removes what is doubtful there. In these, however, four things do not affect the body in any way, neither light nor shadow nor sound nor smell. They have no effect on the body at all, unless in the mind, for what kind of effect do they not produce in the mind when the body does not sense them? Such things do not have any effect except in the mind, for the body, being uninitiated, does not have a sense of them. These things do not have any effect except in the mind, for the body, being uninitiated, does not have a sense. Therefore, it is clear that in these things, color and sound and smell do not have any effect on the body. Contrarily, this is clear that thunder splits wood. Thunder is what kind of sound. In response, nature says, \"It does not act through itself but rather subjects it in which it exists.\" Therefore, it is not. tonitruu scindit lignum, non agit ad scissuram simplex species soni, sed potius aer per motu per quantum movetur. Et hoc est quod dt lra sczh (quod) talia noagit sed potius subiecta inquibus est sonus sicut aer per motu qn est tonitruu scindit lignum. Lignum em non patitur per se a sono, sed magis ab aere moto. Et notandum est (quod) per eandem (multum) sonancia scindunt turres et muros, quia aer continuus vsque ad auditu mouet quod defert sonum. Motus autem cu est in muris commouet eos. Deinde cu dt. Sed tangibilia (quod) non est simile de qualitatibus tangibilibus et alis qualitatibus. Dictum est em (quod) sonus color et odor no agit in corpora nostra non huic sensum. Non sic autem est de tangibilibus, quia tangibilia - qualitates tangibles & humores - fatiut sczh effectum in insensibilibus. Si em tales qualitates no agit in talia corpora, non erit dare a quo paciatur in animata et altarentur. Notandum est (quod) qualitates pme eleme torum.\n\nTranslation:\n\nThunder splits the wood, it does not act to split the simple species of sound, but rather the air, moved as much as it is moved, does. And this is what dt lra sczh (that) such things do not perceive, but rather the subjects in which there is sound are like the air, moved by the thunder. The wood itself does not suffer from the sound, but rather from the moving air. It is worth noting that through the same (great) resonance, towers and walls are split, because the continuous air, up to the point of hearing, moves what carries the sound. However, the motion that is in the walls agitates them. Then cu dt. But tangible things (quod) are not similar in qualities to intangible things and other qualities. It is said that sonus is not a color and odor in our bodies, nor does it have this sense. However, it is not the same with tangible things, because tangible things - qualities tangibles & humors - have an effect in insensibles. If such qualities do not act in such bodies, there will be no peace given to the animate and they will be altered. It is worth noting (quod) that the qualities of the elements. \"Active and passive bodies undergo universal change in things, and therefore if bodies that change do not endure those qualities, there will be no action left for those to whom the change occurs. It should be noted that what a body is called \"sapor\" does not signify that it makes bodies sense-less, but rather that it is something tangible and taste is a kind of touch. Then he says, \"Therefore, it solves the question, and first he repeats, saying, \"Therefore it is not only sound, odor, and color that affect inanimate bodies, but every body is passive with regard to odor and sound, for they are receptive and not active, like air. However, air is passive with regard to odor and sound. The reason of the philosopher in this is that the active requires its own passive. Not every body though\" The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of smelling and the difference between passively experiencing something and actively sensing it. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nPassionem est proportionatum actio quae talia est odoris, coloris vel soni. Talia enim quia modicum habent de activitate, non sunt apta natas agere in quecunque corpora, sed solum in illa que sunt valde passiva, sicut est aer vel aqua. Deinde cum dicit \"Quid igitur est?\" solvit argumeno, videtque sic arguere. Quicquid patit ab ore odorat et per connos olfactu ergo ad destructione connos, quod nihil olfactu patit ab ore. Ad hoc argumentum respondet physis dicens quod nihil omne patit ab ore est odorare, sed odorare plus requirit quam pati ab ore. Quod quidem odorans ita paciat ab ore quod sit sensiens odorem et non fit sensibilis per eum, hoc est quod dicit lra quid igitur est odorare, potius quam pati aliquid. Deinde deinde respondet dicens aut odorare sentire est, id est odorare cum passionem dicit sensum odoris et ideo licet aer paciat ab ore, tamen non odorat. Quia aer paciens non ita patitur ut sit sensiens, sed magis ut sit sensibilis. In the sense of the question, someone may ask whether air can be affected by smell and color. It appears so, for where there is a formal transformation, there is some action. However, air receives the appearance of smell and color, and this is a formal transformation because there is a change. Regarding the sensible object's response to the sensible object, it is correct that what has no self cannot be affected by what is color, odor, or sound. Air is homogeneous, and so on.\n\nTo solve this question, a twofold distinction is required. The first is that acting can be done in two ways: through the action of matter and subject, and this is what physics concedes that these can do. Sound does not act in its own right but through the matter and subject in which the air is contained. Alternatively, something acts through the reason of its form. The question at hand is whether color, odor, and sound can act on bodies that do not have sensation, such as air. The second distinction should be applied here.\n\nPatience towards odor, sound, and color can be in two ways. The first is in the way that it is affected by them, as when: The text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to discuss the nature of sensation and perception. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nlargitur sensatione sensatio vel passio et hoc non differt nisi quod sensus quidem est ipse sensatio vel passio, sensatio autem sequitur passionem. Alioqui nihil patitur corpora inanima sicut aer, in quibus sensibles intentiones non sunt quasi permanentes formae, sed in eis existentiae per quas transferuntur ad suos. Et ideo ubi una liquida habet quod ipse aer facit aliam liquida habere quod ipse aer ferat sensibilem intentionem ad sensum, in litteris dicitur sensus odorans patitur sicut sentiens. Aer autem patitur sicut susceptibilis, scilicet ut medium per quod fit sensus. Hoc videtur argumenta patere utraque partem.\n\nTo the first point, it can be said that there is no true alteration there because the intention of the genus in the medium does not cause a true alteration, since it is not the same thing that is perceived but rather a similarity. Similarity. autem non transmutat ad simpliciter. Sed solum sm quid Ad secundum pt dicu quod sensibile dr duobus modis vel sensibile inquam sensibile & sic nagi nisi sum qr sm hoc dr correctiue ad sum. Alio mo dr sensibile id qd est sensibile & sic sensibile potest agere in aliud quam in sum. Alio mo pt dicu ad argumentu sensibile agens in sum agit per medium et ideo quia medium concurrit ad talem actionem ne est reputandu diversa actio qua agit in medium et in sensum qr agendo in medium agit in sensum qr medium motum mouet sensum.\n\nSecudo quisquam vult odorare sit pati ab odore videtur quod sic- qr sicut se habet sentire ad sensibile ita se habet odorare ad odore. Sed sentire est pati a sensibili cum sentire sit passio facta et nisi que facta est a sensibili ergo et odorare est passio facta ab odore.\n\nAd oppositum est. Quia si odorare est pati ab odore, sequitur quod aer odorat cum paciatur ab odore et super hac ratione fundatur dictu philosophi.\n\nAd hanc questionem aliter respondeant illi qui dicunt {quod} sentire non est pura passio. Alter illi qui dicunt {quod} sentire est purum pati. Pomi enim dicerent {quod} odorare non est simpliciter pati ab odore. Sed potius odorare est sentire et iudicare odorem et non tantum est pati, sed etiam operari aliquid et propter hanc operationem videtur esse philosophus in lra when dicitis {quod} odorare est aliud quam pati aliis odorari non esset sentire, quasi diceret phus sola passio non sufficit ad sensationem quia ibi aliud est quam ipsum intencionis receptionem que est ipsum passio. Alii autem de alia opinione dicerent {quod} odorare est passio facta ab odore in quocumque passo, sed in passo proprio quae est potentia odorativa. Si enim omnis passio facta ab odore in quocumque passo esset odorare bene sequeretur {quod} aer oderet, ibi est passio facta ab odore. Sed quia odorare est passio facta ab odore in potentia odorativa, ideo aer non odorat quia non habet potentiam odorativam. Et hoc idem. The text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be discussing philosophical concepts related to sensation and passion. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nopinionem patet philosophi quod non vult dicere quod praeter passionem sit ibi actio, itaquod sentire sit agere, sed vult dicere quod odorare non est passio simpliciter. Sed passio in potentia sensitiva est qua quis sentiens hic est, ad argumenta quia quando dicitur sentire est pati a sensibili, prima opinio non est tantum pati. Alia em opinio dicit non omnis passio est sentire. Sed sentire est passio facta a sensibili in proprio passu, scilicet in potentia sensitiva. Ad aliud argumentum, prima opinio diceret quod ideo aer non sentit quia non habet actionem quae concurrat ad sentire. Alia opinio dicit quod ideo aer non sentit quia non habet potentiam sensitivam cuius est recipere proprium passionem.\n\nQuod autem sit sensus alius postquam phus determinaverit de quinque sensibus exterioribus.

Deinde cum dicit, Si enim omnis, ponit primam probationem sue conclusionis et potest esse probatio talis. Animal hoc organa disposita sufficienter ad sensendum per omne medium tam coniunctum quam distinctum. sensus is complete in each individual. But an animal has five senses. Five senses are sufficiently disposed for sensing both internally and externally. Therefore, such a sense is complete in every individual and there is no other sense besides these. In this reasoning, the major point is clear. For sensing both internally and externally, there is no mode of sensation. The minor point is that an animal has five senses, each of which senses both internally and externally, but in different ways. Secondly, it senses externally through different means. However, it is to be noted that there are two senses which sense internally: touch and taste. But touch is not a separate sense from taste, for taste is a kind of touch. In demonstrating that every animal has a sense of touch, it is first stated that every sense organ supports touch, which is what is meant by the term \"larva.\" If, however, this is not clear, it can be explained as follows: every sense organ supports touch, as is stated in the text. All senses are touched. In whatever there is a sense, there is touch. Secondly, it states that humans, who are perfect animals, have this touch through which they can feel all tangible things. If they did not have such a sense, they would lack some organ. This is what the Latin says: \"we are this touchable touch, we are the ones who feel through touch. And the passions are tangible to us insofar as we feel them. It is necessary that if any sense lacks touch and an organ, the other organs do not lack it, therefore. Thirdly, it concludes with an unambiguous statement that humans, under the sense of touch, have sufficient gustatory ability to perceive intrinsically and without tactile distance, those things that we ourselves perceive through touch intrinsically.\" \"Deinde dicit. Quecumque vero. Ontdit quod aliia perfecta hoc est organa sensoria extra media sic tantum, quod talia animalia uos solum sensu medio intrinseco, non autem extra et hoc est quod dicitur quod quecumque sensibilia sentimus per media simplicia, id est per corpus extraneum simplicia et non tangentes, id est per tactum et medium intrinsecum. Dico autem corpus extraneum et simplicia aere et aquae. Sic se ut dicatur, siquidem quod si quaedam plura sensibilia extranea altera ab ipsis genere se distinguere necessest habente homo modicum sensitivum, id est organum conforme huic uno medio utraque sensibilia per illud medium sint sensitiva, ut organa sensus duo, scilicet tactus et gustus, sensu medium intrinseco.\" Two sensitive things have organs conforming to that medium, and the sensitive things will feel that which has a sensitive organ conforming to them. If two media are felt by a sensitive thing having an organ conforming to the other, it will feel that. Then, when it says \"Simplicium aute\u0304,\" a second reason can be put forward to reach the same conclusion, and it can be such a reason. An animal having all the perfections of organs sufficiently has all senses. But an animal perfectly having all senses, therefore, will perfectly have all senses without any defect in organs. In this way, it proceeds. p.\n\nIt finds the perfection of organs in what? It finds what where this perfection is in perfect animals? This is it. Thirdly, it concludes with the intended conclusion there. All senses primely find in what? Therefore, it places the perfection of senses in what? It is from this that organs are from air or water, and this is what it says, that sensory things, that is, organs of sensation, are only from these two simple corporeal things, from air and water. This text appears to be written in an old Latin script, which requires translation and some cleaning. Here's the cleaned text in modern English:\n\nThe eye is attracted to that which is visible through it, and hearing to that which is in the air, because air is natural to gold and hearing arises from it. But the sense of smell is produced by water and air when they are not perceived by those who breathe through them. In aquatic creatures, smells are produced through water. It is clear that water is the medium for smell. For instance, aquatic animals perceive odors just as other breathing animals do. Fire, however, has no sense because it is the most active of all things or because of its participation in all senses. Nothing is sensitive without heat, just as the living are not. Heat gives animals vigilance and expands their spirits to their organs. Therefore, fire is not a sense organ because it is the most active and least passive, and because it is consumed and transformative of all living things. Through the property of heat, it is present in every sense, as evidenced by the fact that coldness drives things inward. The pure earth, being cold and dry, and determined as a body, is not receptive or responsive to the intentions of sensible objects nor capable of returning the same. Therefore, there is no sense organ capable of sensation outside of air and water, since the four elements, fire and earth, do not allow this. Furthermore, when he says \"These, however, are the perfected animals,\" he means that these organs have certain perfected animals within them. \"Moreover, when he says 'All senses are enclosed,' he means that all senses are possessed by imperfect animals, just as the blind have only touch and those not endowed with any sense organ for any natural reason, such as the eyes of the blind.\" The text appears to be in Latin and contains no meaningless or unreadable content. It appears to be a passage from a scholarly work discussing the nature of a tapir, specifically its eyes being covered with skin to protect them from the ground and darkness. The text also discusses how only things that can be touched or tasted can be received through flesh, and that things received through water, air, or both are either watery, odorous, or colored. Therefore, everything receives one of these qualities.\n\nCleaned Text:\n\nThe tapir, which is of the ailurid genus, seems imperfect in this regard, for it neither denies the necessity nor gives anything superfluous of sight. The tapir gave it eyes covered with skin, so that it might cling to its kind, but this ailurid food was not necessary for it to be buried under the earth, because it could not sustain light due to the customary opacity of the earth and darkness. The earth would offend its eyes unless they were covered with skin. It is worth noting that these two reasons are distinguished in this way: the first is taken from the middle of things and is such. Since the middle is limited in number, it is necessary that the virtues that receive sensibles through these media are also limited. But the middle is limited because whatever is received is received either through flesh or through water or through air or through both. And what is received through flesh is tangible or tastable. However, what is received through water or air or both is either watery or odorous or colored. Therefore, everything receives one of these qualities. The following text describes the five senses and their corresponding instruments, and the reason why there cannot be a sixth sense. The text states that the material of the instruments of the senses is terminated, either being of air or water, and fire is not attributed to them. The earth is attributed to touch, and therefore the senses are terminated such that if there were a sixth sense, it would require another sensible body different from all other sensible bodies. The third reason is given when it is necessary to commemorate that, just as the pneumatic receives from the medium and the second from the instruments, this receives from the sensible and is firmer than others. There is also a certain reason for this.\n\nIf there is a sixth sense, it is necessary for there to be another sensible body apart from all other sensible bodies.\n\nThe senses that are of air or water are either the third reason is given when it is necessary to commemorate that, just as the pneumatic receives from the medium and the second from the instruments, this receives from the sensible and is firmer than others. There is also a certain reason for this.\n\nIf a sixth sense exists, it is necessary for there to be another sensible body distinct from all other sensible bodies.\n\nThe text goes on to explain that the senses are terminated, and if there were a sixth sense, it would require another corporeal entity to be sensitive, distinct from all other sensitive bodies. \"Qualitate & passionem a qualitatibus quinque sensibus per quas qualificet illus sensum, sed nullus est corpus aliud ab his corporibus sensibilibus neque passio extra istas passiones. Hoc est quod dicit Lactantius. Quare si nihil est alterum corpus et passio, quorum sunt huicmodi corpora. Neque unus utique deficiet sensus.\n\nPrimo quaereret aliquis. Terra dominetur in omni organo sensibilis? Videtur sic. Quia illud quod dominat in omni mixto dominat in organo sensibilis, quia organum est mixtum et non corpus simplex, sed terra dominat in omni mixto cuius racine est, quia omne corpus mixtum est in loco terre et movetur ad mediocrem mundi.\n\nAd oppositum est dictum Phi in Lactantius.\n\nAd hoc quaestionem dicendum est quod terra non dominat in omni organo sensibilis. Ad hoc potest esse ratio talis.\n\nQuod non est medium in sensu per unumquemque sensum non dominat in omni organo sensibilis.\" sensciendi quid medium et organum proportionantur, sed terra non est medium respondeo, sensus ergo non dominatur in oculo organo sensciendi. Distinguendum est quodquid organum habet duobus modis. Unum quidem substantia sua inquam intus est corpus mixtum, et sic dominat in eo terra, sicut in quolibet mixto. Hoc autem probat firmitas grossa et continuitas organi et motus eius ad medium. Alio modo potest considerari organum suae operationi in quantum disponit ad receptionem sensibilia et quod tuum non semper dominatur terra in organo, sed aliquid aquae ut in visu aliquid aer, sic in auditu.\n\nSecundo quisque quereret ut organum tactus sit terrenum, videtur quod non est. Quidquid sunt multi terra non sensitivum sicut pila et ossa, sed organum tactus est sensitivum et fundamentum omnis sensus ergo.\n\nAd oppositum videtur esse physis in larva quodquid terra vel nulli attributa vel tactus physis esset, sed tactuum attributum est. Tactuum autem attributum est:\n\n(Translation:\n\nRegarding the question of what medium and organ are proportioned, but the earth is not a medium, I respond. Senses do not dominate in the organ of sensing. We must distinguish what organ has in two ways. One, its substance is inside the body mixed, and the earth dominates in it, as in any mixture. This is proven by the firmness and continuity of the organ and its motion towards the medium. Another way, the organ can be considered in relation to how it disposes itself for the reception of the sensible and the fact that the earth is not always present in the organ, but something of water is like air in sight, or sound.\n\nSecondly, whoever would ask that the organ of touch be earthy, it seems that it is not. Whatever is multiplied on earth is not sensitive like flesh and bones, but the organ of touch is sensitive and the foundation of all senses.\n\nContrarily, it seems that there is a physis in the shell whatsoever that either does not attribute to earth or touch, but touch is attributed to it.) This text appears to be written in Old Latin, and it discusses the concept of the earth being considered as an organ touched in two ways. In one way, the earth is considered as a substance and is therefore a tangible thing. The Commentator explains that the earth requires compression and confirmation in touch for this to be the case. In another way, the earth can be considered as an organ for the reception of sensations, and this is proven in this way. The earthy organ is considered such because it is a medium or intermediary and therefore should be able to be transformed from one quality to another. However, the earth is not the reason for this disposition, as it is not a medium for sensations in the way that is being discussed above. Instead, it is more like the qualities it receives, and therefore it is not a medium in the way that is being discussed, but rather a private quality in excellence and therefore reduced to a certain equality. equalitas non est in terra quia terra corpora omnino non habent ista equalitatem et consequently non sensunt\n\nAd argumentum patet per predicta, therefore it is argued by the aforementioned, that:\n\nquod organum tactus est terreum, because it is compact and complex,\n\ntertio quisquam quereret, whether air dominates through smell. It seems that it does not have an organ for smell, for phus, the sense of smell and the smelled, is attributed to fire. One says that fire is odorless, and therefore it is not in water, since sight is attributed to aqueous things and hearing to air, and smell to both,\n\nAd hoc quaestionem dicendum est, in response to this question, that the organ of smell can be considered in two ways. In one way, as it is possible to be transmuted from smell and its nature, and thus it is cold and moist. In another way, it can be considered as actually transmuted and attributed to fire and the hot.\n\nThe reason for this is that the disposition of this organ is capable of being transformed from smell. omnis odor est calidus et siccus, therefore, since odor is with the fetus. \"In evaporation, this is what follows: the organ of smell is in itself cold and moist, because when a transformation occurs, it is cold in opposition to the hot and moist in opposition to the hot. In the end, or during the completion of the transformation, it is heated because it is contracted towards the agent's termini. One thing is also such in potentiality as the agent is in act and in the completion of the transformation, it is assimilated to the agent and thus the smell is cold and moist virtually, yet in potentiality hot and dry.\"\n\n\"To the arguments it is clear. For the natural philosopher says in the book that the sense of smell is attributed to air and water, not that the organ itself belongs to either of the two elements. But that the smeller is in some animals through contact with air, and in others through contact with water, as has been said.\"\n\n\"To the second point, the natural philosopher wants to say that the smell has as much symbolic power as fire, although it is compressible and cooled in actuality when it is activated.\" The text is already in Latin, which is a classical language, and it appears to be free of meaningless or unreadable content. It is also free of modern introductions, notes, or other non-original content. Therefore, I will simply output the text as is:\n\ntractus est ad terminos calidi. Quarto quereret aliquis. Ut terreum sicum dominetur in gustu. Videtur quod non quia id quod inuenitur tale propter humidum non est terreum, sed organum gustus est tale buiam humidum. Vnde et natura in generatum salma in gustu ut sit ibi humiditas.\n\nAd oppositum est philosophus de sensu et sensato, ubi dicit quod gustus est quaedam species tactus. Tactus autem est terre.\n\nAd hanc questionem dicendum est quod organum gustus est quod possibile est mutari a gustabili. Gustabile autem est humidum in actu. Ex quo sequitur quod cum transmutatio sit a contrario in contrariis, quod organum sit non humidum. Humidum tamen in potentia ita quod possibile est ipsum trahi ad terminos agentis et fieri humectatum. Ex quo patet quod organum de se habet rationem non humidi sed sicci. Non sicci ignis. Quia tale est maxime activum, ergo sicci terrei possibiles humectari.\n\nAd argumentum incontrarium dicendum est quod argumentum non plus concludit nisi quod gustus est sensus qui per tactum percipit humidum. The text appears to be written in Latin and contains some errors that need to be corrected. Here is the cleaned version of the text:\n\nvt assimilatus agenti est humidus tantum ut possibile est transmutari et assimilari, quodquid sit non humidus, sed ficcus, ut mutatio fiat de contrario in contrarium. Quinto quereret aliquis ut Vt in organo auditus dominetur aer. Quod non videtur eedem natura esse, sed obumbrat audibilia, sicut cuprum argentum et metallas, quare et organum. Ad oppositum est hoc.\n\nQuod auditus ex aere est, ad questione hoc dicendum est, quod lr organum auditorium etiam natura sua sit mixtum, tantum sub ista ratione qua est organum dispositum ad receptionem soni, eo quod aer talis natura est, quod faciliter suscipit tremoris ictus, id est, quod aer naturaliter concludit aurem ad quem quietuem exentas pervincit sonos. Pellis autem que vocat tympanum auris, in qua est nervus auditivus, qui concausus est siccus et aere pleusma natura in qua percipit sonus ab exteriori aere propter conveniencia.\n\nAd argumentum. It is said that metals, like water, have their own nature, and are sonorous and audible because air is in them. Therefore, those that have less air in them sound worse, such as lead, which is less aerial than silver, and therefore sounds less. Sixteen desires to be seen. But if water is not clear in the eye, it is not seen. The reason is that the medium of sight must be clear for sight to be effective. However, this is not the clarity of the sky because the nature of the sky does not allow the positioning of the eyes, nor can it be the clarity of fire, for if fire had been in the eye, it would be too rarefied to hold forms and would confuse them. Even if the organ were fiery, it would not flow water and would be corrupted by water. Nor could it be the clarity of air, for if there were air in the eye, it would not retain forms nor present them, but would rather translate them. However, the organ is tenere. debet et presentare formas opportuit ergo, quod eet observatio aquae. Aqua enim sua puritate et pueuitate recipit formas, sua autem tenet et representat. In the seventh place, it is asked whether there should be given more than five external senses, it seems that there are six. For one sense is contrary to another, such as sight of white and black, but touched is cognizant of two contrary states, hot and cold, dry and moist. And consequently there will be two tactile sensations that, when added to the four primary senses, make six senses. Furthermore, it seems that there are only four senses: for taste is a certain touch, and the nose does not distinguish one touch from another any more than species distinguishes from genus. In this question, there are two things to be considered. The first is that there is no need to give a sixth sense, as Themistius says, and this is manifest in others. perfectis nullus deficit sus na\u0304 natas quibque i\u0304perfectiores res potencias integras permittit persectoribus. Quare siquidem in homine est intellectus omnis utique in ipso est sus. Quod dicit Themisteus. Ubi est potentia perfectissima sicut intellectus sunt omnes potentiae imperfecte pemittuntur intellectui, sed in hoc e\u0304 potentia perfectissima ergo in est ois potentiae imperfecta pemissa intellectui et ita si esset dare sextus sum esset in hoc. Secundo videtur convenienter ponere quinque sensus. Hoc autem sic. Quod ois sus est per medium aut ergo est coniunctum vel distantem, si est coniunctum aut est medium quia est aequalitas inter sua sensibilia sic est medium in tactu. Talem medium numquam potuit priuari omnino tangibilibus eo quod ex talibus consistit essentialis compositio corporis animati. Si autem medium coniunctum prius separatum tamen sensibili, sic est medium in gustu. Talem medium est coniunctum quia gustus est quidam. tactus putat tuus not to be sensitive, if it is not composed of such a sensitive being. If, however, the medium distance is over that which makes the body terminated, it is not a passage for the sensitive. This, however, is the medium or is the medium in sight. It is called above. The property of diaphonia is that which communicates the inferior with the superior, or is the medium by nature of elements, and this is done in two ways. Either it is the medium by local motion and is the medium in hearing. Or it is only the generation made by the sensible and is the medium in olfaction. Other senses can also be taken in this way. The senses are immune to the sensitive and therefore different sensory modifications from the sensitive are distant senses. The sensitive is altered by the sensitive in one way, through contact, and is the sense of touch. The sense of taste is also different from the senses through which the animal is constituted. The senses, however, are taste and touch. discretious quality that signifies the convenience of food, which nourishes the aerial body. In another way, it changes the savor, and this change is either with a perceptible sound and therefore the odor changes because of a certain resolution, or with a local motion, and thus the sound changes, or without any sensible change but only a spiritual one, and thus the color changes.\n\nTo the first argument, it should be said that, as it has been stated above, if there are two touches with respect to two contrary conditions. However, since these touches coexist in the subject and organ and are diffused throughout the body, the distinction appears.\n\nTo the second argument, it should be said that taste does not communicate in action through the entire body. But only in the tongue, and therefore it easily appears as a distinction between touch and taste.\n\nHowever, neither touch nor taste communicate the sixth sense with respect to the sensible faculty here. Rather, it proved that the sixth sense is given only after tasting that which is not. The text appears to be in Latin and contains no meaningless or unreadable content. It is a philosophical or scholarly text discussing the concept of sensory perception and the communication between the senses and the mind. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nsensum respectu sensibiliu\u0304 communicat et dividitur hoc in duas pertes\u00b7 Primo conclusio intensta apparens est. Secundo quaestio quid sit ponderatur ibi.

Primo ergo ponit p\u0304ma {pro}positio et est {quod} sensibilia communeas sentiunt sich. Quod dicit, \"haec omnia scimus sensibilia comunicantis,\" signifies that we perceive all sensory objects through the immutation of our senses, and this is what the word \"immutatio\" signifies - the mode in which a sense is affected by that which is sensed, resulting in a certain passion or sensation. In this way, we perceive magnitude. It is evident that magnitude imparts a quality to the sense, as in the case of color or taste, and qualities are not perceived without their respective subjects. If, however, magnitude is perceived as a figure or shape, then it is essentially quiescent, since it does not move itself or is devoid of motion. A number, on the other hand, is a sensory quality caused by continuity. Hence, we argue properties of number from properties of continuity. In the same way that we say \"number grows in infinitum et continuum.\" The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of perception and the relationship between individual senses and common sensibles. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"This is divided into infinity. Then he says, 'One puts a position that was posited, which is known by one sense as if it were proper to itself, but is perceived by other senses through organs. The reason for this is that what is proper to one sense is capable of being perceived by itself alone. Or if it were respecting another, it would already be common and not proper to whoever supposes its contrary, which is that it is proper and in itself respecting units. Then he says, 'Therefore, it is manifest in conclusion, intending to say that it is manifest from what I have said that it is impossible for the sense of anyone to be the motion or status, figure, or number of any sensible thing.\"\n\n\"Then he says, 'Thus it will be manifested through its reason.' It was his virtue and reason that if sensible things were common to any sense, they would be perceived by other senses through organs.\" This text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the two modes of perception according to the ancient philosopher Auteas. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"hoc aute manifestat duos modos accatalysis. Et primum inducit hos modos. Secundus ondit quod sensibilia communia neutro humoro sensibus sentiuntur per accas. Secunda ibi communis autem. Quatuor ad primum notandum est quod aliqoud sensibile sentiri per accas ab aliquo potest intelligi duobus modis. Unum modo illud sensibile sentit ab aliquo sensu per se hoc ipso modo dicimus quod dulce videtur per accas quia sentitur per se a gustu. Alio modo potest dicere aliquid sentire per accas quia illud a nullo sensu sentitur per se eo modo quo dicimus quod Cleonis filius per accas videtur quia alis Cleouis non est filius ob quemcumque sensum. Differencia autem inter hos duos modos est quia id quod est per accas non accidit sensui quam inquam sensus cuique seuiciatur aliquo. Dulce autem non sentitur per se gustu, sed huic sensui inquam accidit hic is. Sicut visui accidit quod videt dulce. Quod autem est per accas, secundum modo accidit sensui.\" inquam tu sensus sicut Cleous filius a nullo senesi sentitur. In primum hoc accidit, quod duo sensus in idem numero coincident. In secundo modo, nonquam quidem alteris illorum scit Cleous filius ab aliquo senesi. Hoc visum est, ut ita est: sensibilia communia non sentiuntur per accidents. Quod si per accidents senset communis sensibile aut sic erit hoc accidentale, sicut nuus sentimus dulce visu per accidents. Hoc aut accidit est. Quamobrem ambobium scitam tam album quam dulce existimabant hoc sensum et iocum coincidere in eodem subiecto cognovimus alterutrum illorum. Per accidents dulce quidem, vel coloratum vel coloratum vel dulce. Si vero non contingeret duo sensibilia currere in eodem subjecto, nequaquam erit hoc sensum secundum modum, sed sentimus sensum secundum quod Cleous filium non quia Cleous filius sequitur aut albus cui albus accidit esse filium Cleous. Ei filius Cleous oino accidit. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical or theological discussion. I will translate it into modern English while removing unnecessary characters and formatting.\n\nsensui quidquid sentitur ab aliquo subjecto sequitur. Communitas autem quod quidquid sensibilia conjuncta non sentitur per accasus aliquod corpus, dividitur in duas conclusiones. Prima est quod quidquid sensibilia conjuncta non sentitur per accasus. Quia quidquid sentitur per se a pluralibus sensibus. Secunda conclusio est quod ex quo sensibilia conjuncta sentitur per se a pluralibus sensibus, non est unum proprium corpus respectu eorum. Quod si hoc esset, haec sensibilia sentirentur per accasus ab alis sensibus, hoc videtur contrarium. Unus autem communis sensus respectu eorum est, quia sensibilia conjuncta sentiunt communiter pluralibus sensibus. Ex quo sequitur quod nullus est proprium sensus respectu eorum, nisi si ita esset, nequam sentiremus ea per se ipsis sensibus, vel sentiremus per accasus, vel secundum meum secundum te. Sicut enim decmus cleos filios videre per accasus et quod hoc quidem sequitur. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of senses and how one sense can influence another. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"quod sibilia coniicia sensibus sentiuntur, si est sus proximus earum, quod unus sus qui per se fertur in sensibile alterius et hoc accidit cum simul fit unus sensus. Ita loquimur in eodem sensibili, sicut est de colera, quae amara et rubicunda est et visibile et gustabile coincidunt in idem subjectum. Quod amarum videtur per accidents et econversim, simul enim percipitur per gustum quod colera sit amara et per visum quod sit rubicunda, ideo ad speciem rubeum iudicamus aliquid esse amarum. Non enim est unum sensus per se, color visus. Sonus auditus et sic de alis. Unum autem sensus non est obnoxium aliui. Sensus particularis, ut quod coloratum sit dulce vel homoium, et quia sensus potest decipi circa se.\"\n\nThis text discusses how one sense can influence another, using the example of the taste and appearance of bitter substances. It also mentions that each sense is distinct but can be deceived. obijecta ideo circa talia sepe accidit deteptio. Deinde quid dicit? Inquirit aut aliquis. Phus querit quidnam quaestione. Et quide soluit idem ibi. Aut quatenus tercio manifestat solutionem suam ibi. Si en esset visus solus. Pomo ergo quaerit quaestione, dicens: Inquirit aut aliquis cuis. I.e. propter quod plures sumus et non unum solum puta visum tam vel aliquid huiusmodi.\n\nDein sequitur. Aut quatenus. Vbi Phus ponit solutionem suam dicit: Quod ius natura dedit plures sensus quamus minus latet sensibilia coniuncta que consequuntur ad sensibilia propria. Sensibilia autem coniuncta sunt motus, magnitudo, et quidquid alud Phus tuquodque minus latet quod cognoscitur drncica eius ad alia. Quia quidquid per id differt ab alio per quod est. Sed ex hoc quod hemus plures sensus patet quod sensibile commune non est sensibile proprium. Ergo pluralitas sensuum confert ad cognitionem sensibilium communium.\n\nDeinde sequitur. Si en esset. Vbi The text appears to be written in an ancient or archaic form of Latin. I will translate it into modern English while preserving the original meaning as much as possible.\n\nmanifestat solution in quod sensu particulari, scilicet in visu, est sensitia: albedo non seperatur a magnitudine, ideo qui videt album videt magnum. Si solum visum et non alium sensum haberemus, non possemus bene distinguere inter album, quod est sensibile proprium, et magnitudinem, quod est sensibile commune. Nunc autem, quamvis numquam album sentitur nisi a visu, magnitudo sentit ab alio quam a visu. Manifestum est quod albedo non est magnitudo. Hoc ergo quod dico: si solus visus esset et non alius sensus, ipse visus esset albus, latereet ut magis sensibilia coniungerentur et propria et videreet idem omnia, color quamquam non invenit nisi in superficie, superficies in corpore. Nunc autem sensibilia coniunguntur in alio sensibili quam in albo. Nec tangible est tangibili magnun. Manifestum est. vuniquedqui senses differ from sensible proprii. It is to be noted that the commander titles this doubt differently. He does not wish to ask why we have several senses and not one, as it appears on the surface. The formal cause of this is clear, since the multitude of sensibles is manifest, and this has been stated. The final cause of this should be examined at the end of this. But the philosopher wishes to ask why sensible commones are not comprehended by one sense alone, but by several, and then let us consider this. Another may ask why we have several senses with regard to sensibles and not just one. Then the philosopher gives the reason and it is this:\n\nA sensible conee is sensed by several senses. Proprii, however, are to be read as one alone, as before and so on.\n\nSince we have been instructed that after Philosophus determined which particular things, after he set himself down as the sixth, he is here. intending on one hand that these five senses, with one truth, come together as if reduced to a root and center, sensed differently by various senses. We call this power a sense, moved by two natures or through two actions. The former is because a sense feels itself feeling, such as when we sense ourselves seeing. The latter is because we discern between sensations, as between sweet and white.\n\nFirst, it acts concerning the first action. Second, concerning the second, there is also this:\n\nIndeed, the former asks whether a sense, when it senses itself feeling, is the same or different. This is to inquire. The former, for instance, asks whether the same vision that sees a color sees itself seeing a color. First, it inquires about this. Second, it argues for both sides of the question.

Natura enim non abutit superfluis, ideo si in primo hoc potest fieri, quod comprehendat se comprehendere frustra ponitur secus. Dein cuquet dubitat. Arguit physicum ad aliam per tempus et hoc per una rationem, et primo quid hoc rationis sit. Secudo ea soluit ibi. Manifestum igitur ponit ergo primo ratione sua et potest ea ratio talis. Si idem visus videt colorem et visione sua sequitur quod visio sit colorata, quia visio est passio videntis. Talis autem passio nec est color nec participans colorem. Hoc visum patet esse larva quae sic continuitur. Nihil dictum est quod non potest esse alter sic. Habet autem dubitationem. I. Dubitatur utrum potest esse idem et videt.\" non quia si visu sentimus uos videre. Sentire autem visu nichil aliud est quam videre ergo videmus nos videre. Sed nichil videtur nisi color aut hoc coloris si ergo aliquis videt de se quod sit videns, sequitur quod pumu videns quo videmus nos videre est habens color. Quasi ergo dicat physi phus i est breui. Sentire visu visio est videre visionem. Sed quod videtur participat colorem. Ergo visio est colorata, consequens est falsum.\n\nDeinde sequitur. Manifestum igitur ubi soluit istam dubitatiorem et dividitur in duas partes, secunda ibi. Amplius et videns.\n\nAd euideuciam prudere solutionis notandum est quod ratio supponebat unum scilicet quod omne quod videtur est color. Physi autem solvens hanc rationem dicit hoc esse falsum, quoniam lumen et tenebrae videtur et tamen nec luminis nec tenebrarum est color. Vnde commentator exposans hunc passus sic dicit. \"This is what we indicate as not seen, not in terms of color, but in terms of darkness being darkness and light being light, for neither of them have color. Yet we do not indicate darkness and light in the same way through sight. We indicate that light is darkness because it is a privation of light. This will appear clearer when the one who speaks says so. Manifestly, therefore, because what is not one in sight is not of the same intention. Thus, because all comprehendible things are colored and visible things are distinguished from one another through sight, not in the same way. For light itself is light, but darkness is a privation of light. It should be noted that the author in explaining philosophy assumes that anything that appears uncolored is like the clear. However, the argument can be solved differently, as it can be said that\" \"It is not seen in one way only. Something is perceived as it imprints something on sight, such as color. Something is perceived not because it imprints but because it is the very passion of sight, and sight perceives itself seeing because it experiences being affected by the visible. What is first perceived is colored. But what is second perceived need not be, and sight is directly related to the object and differently to its passion or operation, just as darkness is different from light. Light is because it is changed by it. Darkness, however, is from not being changed. This is clear from the letter appearing otherwise than before, which says something different. It is manifest that not one thing is seen by sight, that is, not uniformly perceived by sight. Otherwise, the object is perceived by sight and differently its change, which is called sight. And it is clear from the example that to feel through sight is not one way, for we sometimes say we feel through sight when sight is changed by the visible, as by light or color, and otherwise when it perceives itself unchanged, as in a mirror or in darkness. And furthermore,\" We see with our eyes when we are not changed by an external object, but we do not indicate light and darkness in the same way, as a philosopher might say. The change of darkness, following the change in the object, is said to be seen differently from the object itself that causes the change. We say we see darkness because we do not change from the light, and the change itself is perceived by us directly because it impresses upon our senses. However, the change itself is perceived indirectly, for, as I will say, the senses experience themselves being changed.\n\nFurthermore, when he puts forward the second solution and solves certain questions that he had doubted about in the past, he does not do so alone.\n\nFirst, it should be noted that nature first gave one solution, in which it showed that nothing visible is colored as the adversary supposed. In this part, he gives a second solution, in which he proves that vision is colored by something. contrarius supposited. He proved this in two ways. The second way of proving was as follows: Sensiblequatuor ad pumum modobes probandi ponit talis roq, quod habeas similitudinem coloris eo quod vides colorem esse hoc lrra sczh Amplius etenim, et videns est tamquam coloratum, quam licet non habeat colorem, sed materiali tamen habet similitudinem coloris et coloris est intencionalem. Unumquodem sensicium est susceptible et sicible, non quia est in materia sed quia est intentionale & sine materia. Propter hoc esse intentionale receptum contingit, quod ab utis sensibus, id est absentia sensibilis insunt sensus et fantasias, animalia quasquam aliquo modo sentit. Notandum est, quod duobus modis probavit, quod in vidente est similitudo colorum. Primum modus probandi est quia hoc est coniunctum omnibus sensibus, quod recipit sensibile, non sum similitudine. Secundus modus probandi est. \"Fantasies and sensations are not about any thing in any place unless that thing is present in some way. But this fantasy is not real. Instead, this fantasy is a semblance. In the absence of the sensible, fantasy and sensation remain concerning something sensible. Therefore, it is a semblance that vision is colored and it has the reason for being so. The color acts and is received by what is seen. But color acts through coloration, so vision is coloration. And through this, vision is colored. Elsewhere, action and passion are formed, and action and passion are one motion. But the action of color is the passion of the sight, so vision is coloration. And the one whose vision is colored perceives it. In this account, it proceeds thus. Therefore, it puts forth a user. The second makes it clear through what things are in the third, physical. If it is motion, then the first is sensible or an act\" This text appears to be written in Old Latin, and it discusses the relationship between sound and hearing. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"suus id est quod ideo sentit et patitur ab illo. Hoc est quod color et recipit visus unum et id est diversum. Hoc ut a coloris coloratio est in visu et visio. Hic loquitur de potentia in se non de potentia agentsibus. Sed de ipso qui patitur ab eis et hoc sequitur. Dico autem sicut sonus actus scit agens et auditus actus paciens. Est enim contingens habentia potentiam auditiivam, non audire id est non immutari a sono. Habens sonum id est potentiam sonantis immutandi auditum non semper sonat id est non semper immutat. Cum autem potentia auditiiva operetur, id est actu immutatur, et potens causare sonum sonet id est actu immutet auditum, tunc auditus actus et sonus actus simul sunt: actionem sensibilem et passionem sensibilem.\" passione is called an audition. Otherwise, it is called an action, which is suitable for a sonation. In the third book of physics, it is stated that if there is motion. It is manifested that he said this concerning those things that were said in the third book of physics. In the second place, it is observed that this is confirmed in hearing. In the third place, it is observed that it is confirmed in other things following that. It is necessary. Thirdly, it is said that Ea-de-a went to Quintus ad Pompeo, if therefore there is motion and action and passion in that which is acted upon, in the passive there are three kinds of physics. Fourthly, it concludes that it is necessary for there to be a sound, that is, an action of the sound and the audition which is the same potentiality, that is, the potentiality of the auditor. The act and the mover, that is, the action of the agent and the motion of it, is not in the agent but in the patient. Therefore, no agent moves unless there is motion in the agent and the mover moves everything that moves. And because the action of the one acting is in the passive, it follows that the act of the sound is in the potentiality of the auditor and is the same as the passion of the audited. Action, however, sonatus is a sound. But passion is the state of hearing. As it has been said. Auditus is both the power and the act, and what are the powers and acts when the sensitive power is actually sounding and the hearing is actually perceiving, and they are one act of either?\n\nThe same rule applies here. Wherever it is heard that the same thing is in all senses, it is said that action and passion are in peace. In this, therefore, is the reason why. In some senses, the action is distinctly sensible and the passion is perceptible. This is what the law says.\n\nThe same rule applies in other senses and in sensible things. Just as action and passion are subjectively in the agent and patient in peace, so action and passion in the senses are in the sense itself, but only in some senses is the name given to either or both. For example, in hearing. A sound is the action of the sounding object, and hearing is the passion of the hearer. In some senses, only one is named, for example, in sight. The act of sight is vision. The action of color is not named. named indeed can be called a coloration and an act, a taste is a tasting. An act is not the humor, that is, the savory flavor, of man. To make these clear, someone would want. Whether it is necessary to give a common, distinct sense against the particulars, it seems not. For instance, the exterior sense does not need to be placed against the interior one, but the exterior sense sufficiently indicates of the sensible thing and of the change made to it, as sight indicates of sight. Vision is nearer to sight than color; therefore, sight can indicate of a color much more than of a vision nearby.\n\nFurthermore, the common sense does not distinguish against the particulars. Therefore, the common sense distinguishes against the indistinct.\n\nIt was added by the commentator and Ausonius in book five on natural things. To this it is said that a common sense is given to terminate all changes of the senses of the particulars. To this end is the first principle of Ausonius, and similarly of Aristotle, as will appear below. In animals that have a body which distinguishes between the senses of different kinds and says that this is not an illusion, like colored things are not tangible but this one is not a particular pigmented or fat sow that does not bear offspring except through one sensitive organ and does not distinguish between two different kinds of senses. Nor is this virtue intangible. Or we speak of the discrimination of senses as they are sensed and not understood. In animals or in those without intelligence, there is such a virtue where the joining of the two kinds of senses is foreseen. Otherwise, in other animals and in a difficult life, there is some interior virtue. Following is Avicenna's proposition. It is taken from dreams and images that appear in dreams or originate from my treasure chest, and this is impossible. Because whatever is in the treasure chest is not imagined by the sleeper as if it is more imagined as something to drink and consume or originates from his external self. This text appears to be written in an old Latin script, likely from a manuscript or early printed book. I will translate it into modern English while removing unnecessary characters and formatting.\n\nThe text discusses the origins and nature of sensory experiences in dreams. It suggests that there is a common source for all sensory experiences, both in waking life and in dreams. The text also mentions that in dreams, we may perceive things that we have not actually experienced, and that there are three reasons for this. The third reason is that in nature, there must be a single source from which that nature arises in various things. The text also mentions that sensory knowledge is connected to all senses and therefore must have a single source from which all sensory impressions originate. This source of sensation is described as the common sense in Quintus Aucius' De Naturalibus, book four. The common sense is the center of all senses from which the individual senses, or sensory perceptions, originate. particularium. et idem Auic\u0304. Prima eiusde\u0304 libri sic dicit: \"Virium autem apprehendiendi occultarum vitalium primum est fantasia, quae est sensus coni\u0304s, vis ordinata in prima concipiendi cerebri, recipiendi seipsum, oes formasque imprimuntur, quinque sensibus reducendus. Ad primum argumentum dicendum est, quod non solum requiritur sensus coni\u0304s propter sensata unius generis, sed diversorum generum inter que non potest iudicare unus sensus perticularis, nec eius perfecte judicat de immutatione sua, sed solum de obiecto a quo immutatur. Nec obstat, quod immutatio sit propinquior, quia sensus perticularis nova virtus reflexiva potest reflecti super se et super ea quae in ip\u0304o. Ad secundum argumentum dicendum est, quod hoc ipsum coni\u0304s non dicit, quod coni\u0304s dr coni\u0304s per p\u0304dicatione\u0304, sed quod radix e\u0304 et principium aliorum sensuum Secundo queret alios. Utrumque autem propter actione dicta.\" sussus sentit se sentire in ponere sensum. Videt quod nihil sequitur iocoueniecia quae poatus fuit. Nasussus communis sentit immutatione facta a coloris sentit et coloris, et sic duo sussus eruunt unius sensibilis coloris visus et sussus consis. Praeterea si sensus consis sentit sensationem suam particularem quaeret de isto sussu utrum in eo sit status an sensiat se sentire per aliud sum. Si in eo est status ergo et in pomo si aut per aliud sum erit in infinitum. Praeterea hoc idee erit agendum et paciens. Ad opsitu est comemator qui dat quod hic integit declarare quod quisque sussus hic unum virtute conem. Dicendus est quod quidquid plura reducatur ad aliquid unum, sicut ad fontem et radicem, perfectum iudicium debet esse in illo uno. Dictus est aut quod sensus consis est centrum omnium suorum et ideo iudicium perfectum de immutationibus suorum sit in hoc uno ita quod intelligimus quod sensus particularis iudicat de. immutation is only effective if it is directly applied. The communis judges the termination of immutations according to their particular sense. To argue for the first point, it should be noted that the same thing falls under the aspect of the inferior and superior potencies. The inferior potency orders to the superior. What is under the inferior order does not escape the aspect of the superior, and so the color will be under its particular and communal aspect. We should understand that, just as a potency is related to another potency, so an object is related to another object. However, a particular potency is under a universal potency, so a particular subject is under an object. Therefore, the particular subject should be under its communal and object under object. The object of sight is not only color but whatever is perceived through the particular subject, and this is known through sensations made by the senses and the discernment of the senses.\n\nTo argue for the second point, it is not the case that if something is in its root and center, it becomes a status in the branches. The text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the concept of unity in various aspects. Here's the cleaned version of the text:\n\ncuius roest quam multitudo est reducibilis ad unum. Unum non est reducibile et ideo communis assimilatur centri in circulo, ad quod reducuntur omnes lineae, et ipsum est irreducibile.\n\nAd tercium dicendum est, quod communis sensus est quoddammodo diversus, ut patebit in sequenti questione. Nam est quodammodo visus inquam recipit ab eo et quodammodo auditus inquam recipit, et sic de alis. Quomodo quidem ecce est unum inquam, tum est unum terminus formalis omnium suorum particularium, propter hanc diversitatem quae concernit sensus communis potest esse agens et patiens.\n\nTertio quaeret aliquis. Ut sensus communis sit unum. Videtur quod non quod unum debet esse obiectum, sed non est unum obmnis sensus communis, ergo non est unum unum.\n\nAd oppositum est id quod dictum est per Avicenna.

Quod Quartus queret aliquis. Therefore, phus solved the reason made for one question and did not solve the reasons made for another. To this it is said that phus did this because he regarded those things as real, whether suus putus visus senses itself or as it is, suus communis or the center of all senses, how all suus is terminating omnem sum, and we understand that inquntu est quid principalis visus indicates concerning the immutatio visus, and inquam principalis auditu indicates concerning the immutatio auditu, and so of all others. This is the determination of this entire question, that we see ourselves and sense ourselves, and quemlibet sum immunis communi qui aliquo modo idem est cuus particulari and aliquo modo diversus, or omnes sensus particulares are. The text appears to be written in an ancient Latin script, and it seems to be discussing the nature of vision and color. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Venus in forma virtutis sentit quod fons est virtutis sensualis particularis. Quisquam Quintus velit, ut id quod facit color in visu sit idem quod visio. Videur quod non. Quod facit color in visu est spe specs coloris, sed visio est actus sequens illam speciem.\n\nAd oppositum est phusis in larva. Hanc quaestio est, sed diversimode dicta sunt opinionibus. Quos dicunt quod sapiens est purus passivus, puer quod querit vel visio idem est quod ipsa species vel idem est quod receptae speciei, ita intelligimus ipsum speciem esse species in quam res similitudo coloris. Coloratio in quam tu est acta a colore. Passio inquam sensus est recepta ni visu, ita idem realter est species actio passio his tamen diversas rationes et hanc opinionem scimus quod visio sit passio est verbum commentatoris in expositione huius libri ubi dicit sic. Passio visus nomen est videre. Licet hoc nomen sit figura nominis agentis. Actio autem sui sensibilis, quod est color.\" caret nomie is the name in Greek. Some say that the passion which follows any action is the same as the vision for those who see the same thing that causes the color in the sight. Following this, the commentator in the explanation of this text states that the sound which is outside the soul moves the instrument of hearing. The hearing, which is in action, moves by the power of hearing and similarly, the disposition of color in motion is the same as the disposition of the quality that comes from the color in the seer, moving the visible quality by the power of sight. Sensible things are the properties of the acting agent. The senses are both active and passive. The first sense is passive and it seems to sense because something moves it, thus the received species moves by the power of the visible. In another way of speaking, identity is stated in the Philebus, that hearing and action are the same, and sight and color are the same. \"Since one of us here has resolved the ancient doubts and questions which he resolved, the second one is about symphony. The first one concludes in two parts, the second one excludes what contradicts and at the same time saves. To this the mind responds, saying that if one thing is both sensible and insensible, it is necessary that the sensible and insensible are both in act and act upon each other. However, this is not necessary for the sensible and insensible in potentiality, as the former states. Furthermore, one action is not both sensible and insensible, for they are different in subject, but they are both activated and corrupted at the same time and in the same way, as is the case with taste and touch and other sensibles and senses. However, if the sensible and insensible do not contradict each other in potentiality, it is not necessary that they are both corrupted and generated at once.\" If a sensitive and sentient being is corrupted and saved, it is said that this foundation rests on two foundations. The first foundation is that the sense is in the act. One act changes the sense from sensitive to insensible, and the sensitive is in the act of changing. The second foundation is that the sensitive changes the sense and the sense changes in turn, making one act effective and receiving in the same act what it makes effective. From these it follows that the phrase \"nature takes away the sensitive.\" The sensitive is not corrupted in the act, nor does the sentient being change. From this it follows that they cannot be destroyed at the same time, or that if one of them ceases to be, the other also ceases to be, or that it is not necessary that the sensitive and sentient being be destroyed together, or that if one of them ceases to exist, the other immediately ceases to exist. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be about the nature of the sensible and the potential. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"Subibile sui absolutum pute et si num immutet, sum nec est necessse quod posito sibi potest immutare statim ponat sensus qui immutet a tali subibile. Secundo, quodquis queret, ut sit dare subibile in potentia. Videt quod num quod dat intelligibile ipsum dat subibile in potentia, dat sibi agens qui extrahet subibile in actum ut sit sensatum in actu. Sed hoc contrarium est, ergo et contra dicemus. Ad oppositum huic dicimus, phi ad hac quaestione dicendum est quod subibile in potentia potest intelligi duobus modis. Primo, in potentia essentiali, id est, hoc dicat subibile in potentia quod indiget esse in actu et per quam potest facere sensationem. De hoc subili in potentia non loquitur hic physicus. Talis subibile in potentia non fit in actu nisi per agens et generans. Idem generans quod dedit coloratam formam dedit sibi, quod potest immutare visum. Ratio huius est quia color est forma immutabilis visus et causatatia.\" sensationis in visu. A thing is sensitive in potency in another way, not because it is unable to form a shape that can alter the sense, but rather because it has the potential to be actual and receive this potential in an actual state, and this potential is sensitive in potency. It does not actually change the sense, but can do so if it can pass from potency to act, and such a potential for the sensitive thing is not in need of an external agent to draw it from potency to act, as if giving it the act itself. Rather, the sensitive thing itself, through its own form, becomes an act. While the sensitive thing actually changes the sense as it did in the first acceptance of the sensible, and receives an immutable form, in the second acceptance of the sensible, the sensitive thing becomes an act and changes in act. For this reason, Dein follows with an argument. Some physiologists have excluded ancient errors in what is said, and have put forward what error they exclude. Secondly, they found that they could clarify the truth in that place. So, accordingly, Qua tu ad:\n\n(Note: The text appears to be in Latin, and there are several errors in the input text that need to be corrected. Here is the corrected version of the text:\n\nsensationis in visu. Alio modo potest res sensibilis in potentia dicir. Non quia indiget forma quam possit immutare sensum, ita quod sit in potentia eaquare sibi deficit actus immutandi, ita quod est in potentia actualis et hoc modo susceptit res sensibilis in potentia, quod non actu immutat, sed potest immutare, dum potest transire de ocio in actum, et talis potentia sensibilis non indiget agente extroducto a potentia ad actum, quasi dat sibi actum primum et forma immutata ipsam res sensibile per formam suam fit actu. Dum actu immutat sensum, ut sicut in prima acceptio sensibilis, res sensibilis in actu erat et accipiebat formam immutatam, ita in secunda acceptio sensibilis res sensibilis in actu fit et immutat. Propter hoc Dein sequitur argumentum. Quidam physiologi ex dictis erroribus antiquorum excluderunt, et ponunt quid erroris illius excludunt. Secundo invenirent, quod poterant clarificare veritatem ibi. Sic quidem Qua tu ad:)\n\nTranslation:\n\nA sensitive thing in vision can also be called sensitive in potency in another way. Not because it lacks the form it can alter the sense, so that it is in potency equal to itself in the lack of an act to immute, but rather because it is in potency and the sensitive thing receives the sensitive thing in this way, which does not actually change, but can change, when it can pass from potency to act, and such a potential for the sensitive thing does not need an external agent to draw it from potency to act, as if it gives itself the first act and the immutable form, the sensitive thing itself, through its own form, becomes an act. While the sensitive thing actually changes the sense as it did in the first acceptance of the sensible, and receives an immutable form, in the second acceptance of the sensible, the sensitive thing becomes an act and changes. For this reason, Dein follows with an argument. Some physiologists have excluded ancient errors in what is said, and have put forward what error they exclude. Secondly, they found that they could clarify the truth in that place. So accordingly, Qua tu ad:) The ancient ones did not understand those who were called antiquos, for they were sensible and alive, but only if they actually saw or heard them. From this it followed that if it was not seen, it would not be visible, and this is the case with things that are not seen or heard. However, many physiologists, that is, those dealing with natural phenomena, did not agree with this. They believed that there was nothing white or black in essence, nor was there any moisture without taste.\n\nTherefore, if something appeared to be opium, it could not have a real form unless it was actually perceived. If someone understood that the sensible was not capable of changing its nature without being affected by things, he would not deny that the blackness of the form was not real unless he actually saw it. This is the case with things that the ancients believed, in one sense, that is, in one way.\n\nHowever, if something appeared to be a bone and had the power to affect the senses, it could be understood that the sensible was not capable of changing its nature unless it was actually affected by things. If someone understood that the sensible could not change its form into something else unless it actually sensed something false, then blackness would not be the form of the black unless it was actually seen. This is the case with things that the ancients believed, in one sense. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of the sensible and insensible. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"ditebat recte. Sic etiam alii dicebant non recte. Dupliciter enim dico, ssibili scribo, potentia et actu de ssus et sensibili idem accidit, quod dicebant ssus non esse sensibile sine sensu. Rationem eius quod ssibile non immutat actu nisi sensus actu immutet et hoc quia sensibilis et ssus est unus tactus, scut agentis et passi. De sensibili autem et sensu, ssibili non accidit quod dicunt quod sensibile bene potentia immutata est etiam si sensus actu non immutetur. Notandum est quod in antiquis tribus modis potest immutari primo modo, quia sensibile quod sit sensibile, id est quod possit immutari sensu, non ex hoc quod sentit, sed magis a generante. Idem enim generans quod dedit ssibili formam talem ponebat colori dedit sibi, quod potest operari in talem seusum, sicut illud quod dedit gravi gravitati dedit sibi, quod potest moveri deorsum. Secundus modus immutari potest hoc ipsum opinionem, quia contradictoria erat simul vera. Si enim veritas rei est in apparere.\" The text appears to be written in an ancient language, likely Latin. I will translate it into modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\nThe text reads: \"The senses and contradictory opinions of that man appear to be different and contrary to each other, and those philosophers did not recognize any other knowledge except that which concerned the senses. They also did not recognize any other perception except sensible things, so that they considered themselves to be entirely part of the sensible world. Thirdly, they rejected the notion of nature because they did not distinguish between the potential sensible and the actual sensible, or between the sensible that can be changed and the sensible that changes. First, nature itself has no reason without sense. Secondly, its reason comes from the fact that sense is in proportion to the sensible and therefore the sensible things delight the senses in proportion. However, excellence and disproportion corrupt the senses. In this solution, nature proceeds as follows: it first takes the given sense to be a certain something.\" proportionem. Secondly, this solves the question mentioned there. And because of this, the philosopher asks: if a vocal sound is some symphony, that is, consonance and proportion, a voice is audible and an auditor is, as it were, one and the same as the hearer and the heard. Sense and the sensed are one. Just as goodness is in the sensed and in what proportion, so is goodness in the sensible. No composition makes the body sensitive or the organ of hearing a body without a special harmony and special position for each sense. One harmony and proportion are not required for the functioning of every sense organ. Therefore, the soul does not see where or what, but the power of seeing is in it. special organ follows. And because it solves the physical question stated, it makes two things possible: the sensible thing that corrupts the second sense, which delights there. Unpleasant and detectable things. Therefore, the sensible thing corrupts by saying, \"and because of this, sense consists in proportion to the intellect and excels the sensible thing that corrupts itself.\" It calls the intellect excellent when it moves more than the sensible thing can be moved. For example, the sensitive organ is drawn out of its armor and corrupts. Just as excellently acute or heavy things corrupt hearing, and in humors, that is, tastes, an excellent savory taste corrupts the taste and strongly corrupts the sight with a vivid color. Even what is opaque, that is, dark, is a sign that when things are long confined in dark prisons, looking at them benevolently is difficult, and they do not come out to the light. The cause of this corruption is that the foul smell, which flows in the nerve from the eyes, is turned away and repelled by the darkness. And because the foul smell is hot, it turns away and repels the sensitive organ. The text appears to be written in an ancient Latin script. I will translate it into modern English while removing unnecessary characters and keeping the original content as much as possible.\n\nfrigiditas obstructs the eyes of pigs and excretes from the eye. In the same way, a strong, sweet-smelling substance, whether pleasant or bitter, corrupts the sense of smell and the sense of smell itself is a certain proportion that gets corrupted by the excellent sense. Following this, there are delightful things. Where it shows that the proportioned sense of pleasure delights the self. According to the physics, the proportion and the sense of pleasure are the same, and pure and sincere things, as well as extreme ones, are delightful. Mixtures of the pure and sincere, if they are brought to a ratio and proportion and harmony, are delightful, just as in flavors. Delightful things are either sweet or salty because, in fact, the mixed is more delightful. It is manifest, as is clear in voices. For the mixed voice is more harmonious than a single acute or harsh voice. And in touch, the heated is more delightful. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical or metaphysical discussion. I will translate it into modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\nfactible, that is, placed between the heated and the cooled. A proportion is this, and therefore it delights in similar things, that is, proportionate things. But excellence, as it is dissimilar, corrupts and opposes.\n\nTherefore, whoever begins to examine the nature of the virtue that we feel within us, this one examines the same virtue, wishing to show that, just as we feel ourselves to feel, so we see ourselves seeing, argues that the common sense, which we call the sense of the senses, judges between diverse sensations in a similar way, for example, between the sweet and the white. It argues that the same virtue is the term, indeed, the immutable term of the senses, and it judges between two immutabilities and between diverse sensations. Therefore, nature proceeds thus. For from this judgment, it is sought what the common sense extends itself first towards. Secondly, it is opposed to what is said there. But rather, the first argument is twofold.\n\nFirst, it refers to what extends the sense further. Secondly, it seeks the common. commune ibi Qm_ aute_. Ponit primum ad quid se extendit prius suss. extitit prius ad cognoscendu_ sussible priorum et dras illis sicut album et nigrum. et hoc est quod dictur, quod unusquisque prius suss, qui est in sensitiuo organo sensendi inquatu_, est susceptiui_. i.e. inquantum sentit, quod nullus suss particulis sentit, si non organum est cognoscitius subiecti. i.e. prius obiecti sussc_ quod unusquisque suss cognoscit dras prias sui sussible\n\nQuereret aliquis postquam physica nux ostendit ad quid se extendit prius suss. In solutione huius questionis sunt duae conclusiones. pma est quod nulla utus potest ultra suum ultimum de potentia hoc pz statim. quod si potest ultra illa esse ultimum. Si enim virtus potest in bono tanquam in ultimo effectu, non potest in ulteriore effectu. quod si potest bono esse ultimus effectus, sicut supponitur.\n\nFrom this conclusion follows subsequently that necessarily a sense must be given. \"Comunee ultrasus perticulares cum eus perticularis hic suus ultimus est iudicare de sibili proprio et drncijs eius. Ergo magis sit iudicare de diversis sibilibus generibus quam drncijs eiusdem sibilis. Sequitur quod, ut iudicium excedit iudicium, sic sensus summus In secundo emuus iudicium nos non potest sibus perticularis quod nichil potest ulterius suus ultimus. Restat quod sit dare alius sumus qui hoc possit & huc vocamus sumus commune. Ad operandis necessitatibus ponendi sumus commune fecit mentione de ultimo in quod potest sibus perticularis. Deinde sequitur. Quamquam postquam phus ostendit ad quid se extendit, hic fundit quod necessario debet ponere sibus consis et est ratio sua talis sumpta experimento. Nos experimentamus quod nos sentimus diversa sensata genera et quod nos discernimus inter ea, sed hoc non potest esse nisi per sumus commune ergo necessario talis.\" sussus ponendus est. Circa hoc principio such is the nature of phus. First, it discerns between two sensed things, two genera. Second, it discerns that this sussus, discerning between them, is not one peculiar sussus there. Therefore, third, it discerns that these two genera do not discern between two peculiar sussus there. Neither uti nor quo. Quarto concludes that virtue, discerning between these two, is virtue consonant there. But it is necessary. Therefore, primo, it discerns that two sensed things are distinguished from some sussus and have their own ratio. Although they may be intellectually discerned from intellect, yet sensed things are not discerned unless by sense. Sensed things are therefore sensibilia and so on. And this is what Laura says. Quoniam aut album et dulce et lumen et unquodque sensibilium discernimus ab unoquoque et sentimus, quia differentia quidem virtute. It is necessary that this discrimination be made by sense, that is, sensuous virtue, whose reason is that which is discerned as sensibilia. \"These things cannot be discerned unless through immutation. This phus, which makes some things discernible, is not itself anything but immutation. Note that immutation, being a limit in every particular, terminates in the senses regarding the immediate sense and the limit of this sense is communis in that it is called sensus. Then follows: Why is it manifest that this power, which discerns among such sensed things, is not a particular sense, and if a particular sense were to discern among divided genera, it would be this tactus, since it is the foundation of our sense organs and looks more towards the proximity of the senses, whose foundation it is rather than that of other particular senses. But tactus does not discern among sensed genera. Therefore, if it were thus, it would be necessary that the one discerning would discern between white and sweet, touching white and sweet.\" supper Tactus does not discern except by touching. This is false. We discern much more between two such things when we touch them ourselves. Therefore, another, more particular Tactus discerns between such touched things. This is because the discriminating power of the tongue, which is a part of the body that is itself not insensible, discerns between two senses. If it were not necessary for him who discerns to touch, touching would be false, and this is the first point. It should be noted that any virtue that discerns between two things must necessarily have some distinctive aspect with respect to those things. If one did not look at them from a distinctive aspect, one would not discern those things. Therefore, touch seems to have some universal and distinctive aspect with respect to different senses, because it is the foundation and root of all our senses. From this it follows that someone might be moved to say that touch discerns between different sensed things, which is false. est argumentum hoc: si tactus non discernit inter duo sensata, quod discernere inter duo sensata diversorum generum non pertinet ad duas virtutes perticulares. Hoc est, quod dicit, neque uti seperatis id per seperatas virtutes contingit discernere quod alterum sit dulce ab albo.\n\nSequitur: Sed uno. Concludit physis conclusioem intentam quod una virtus communis iudicat inter duo sensata duorum generum. Primo quod una virtus iudicat inter talia. Secundo si cognoscit simul uti judicat instanti et in tempore non separato. Secunda ibi. Quod autem neque separato.\n\nPrimo ergo ponit conclusione intentam, ubi notandum est quod conclusio intenta potest concludi ex precedentibus. Cuem hoc iudicium non potest fieri ab una utute. particular not from the people. It remains that it be made from virtue alone. This judgment can be made from two virtues or from one not from two. Or if there are two truths, one apprehends the white and the other apprehends the sweet. It is as if it were said that Peter apprehended the white and Martin the sweet. But from such things that are sensed by two men, a judgment cannot be made between white and sweet, therefore not from these things that are from two virtues. It remains therefore that this judgment be made from one virtue alone. He, who is called the one certain thing, utters a certain utterance, as it is clear from what has preceded. Therefore, it is clear from what has preceded. Furthermore, from where it is clear, it is clear for both of them. So it will be clear if this were to be from two virtues. And if I understand this. vnum scarz album tu aute sentis aliud scarz dulce. Hoc emo posito manifestu erit quod altera erunt ad invicem dulce et album, quia alter pacior ego ab albo et tu a dulci, sed ista diversitas non erit manifesta, sed opere est unum qui dicit quod alterum eo dulce ab albo. Hoc est emo vnum verum scarz, quod dulce non est album, sicut ante dicit, et eodem modo intelligit et sentit quod illud drue procedit ex aliqa interiori apprehensione. Sicut ego unus et idem homo dico quod dulce non est album, ita iste idem homo apprehendit et per connus non est drue quod haec apprehensa a duobus iudicet ea diusa. Quereret aliquis. Vtrum sit simile de duobus virtutibus et duobus his. Vides quod no. Quia duae virtutes radicant in una ea et per connus reducuntur ad quaddam tercium a quo potest fieri iudicium. Duo autem his non reducuntur ad unum tercium hominem.\n\nAd oppositum est dcmo phi. In hac quaestione duo sunt videnda prius est quod conclusio phi scarz quod ea. dare unum utus two senators and no two utuses found two upon two foundations. The first foundation is that which follows judgment, apprehension. No one judges concerning the ignorant. The second foundation is that which all using who apprehend two are a community regarding them. Supposing this, then, let it be that the prudent man philosophizes. Let two utuses be judges between two senators, for example between album and dulce, so that the prudent man apprehends album. The second, dulce. Or if the prudent man does not apprehend dulce or not. If therefore he does not judge as the first foundation requires, or apprehends and thus follows that it is the virtue of the community as the second foundation requires. He supposed that it is a particular utus.\n\nFurthermore, if this utus apprehends whether both or either or neither, or the second apprehends whether both or either or neither, or the other the same. If both follow that they are two utuses when it is impossible. Or as the eyes lines in a circle terminate at one center, so let the utuses be united in one virtue. If the second virtue does not follow this. apprehends it all too, the one thing does not distinguish between the body and the soul as the particular distinguishes between the part and the whole. But he himself adheres to the body as the part adheres to the commune, and thus we have the intention to give with one virtue the commune quod.\n\nSecedeo when considering this, quod eencia judges nothing but what is induced by reason of virtue. But he who is eencia acts and judges more as a judge than as essence, and it does not follow the essence but the virtue. From this, quod the reduction of two virtues to one essence does not suffice for judgment between two sensible things. Of the first virtues, quod the same would judge the third.\n\nBut over and above this, quod the reduction to one virtue as a judging faculty and thus the question is, as two men do not make this judgment. But one man, who apprehends whether both virtues do this judgment or one virtue does.\n\nTo the argument quod the reduction to essence does not suffice. Egidius a suba. anima no longer immediately perceives any action or motion or any knowledge, except mediately through some power. Anima is not an immediate sentient. But it primarily perceives sensation through some sensitive power. If therefore anima were to perceive sweet through taste and white through sight, and there was no third sense moved, then follows what comes next. But if not separately. It shows that, just as one power judges between two sensed things, it judges in one instant. Foundation has two foundations. The first foundation is taken from the proposition that is between virtue and time. The proportion is that, just as one virtue discerns between two things called sensed, so the use in time discerns between these. Ratio of this foundation is whether virtue is. in perpetuis tempis apprehendat unum et in alia aliud, et non apprehendit ea simul, nisi indicaret inter illa dicendo, quod hoc non est idem quod aliqua, nisi simul apprehendant iudicata. Secundum fundamentum, sicut in esse, sic in discernendo. In esse enim, sicut quod album est alterum a nigro, et dulce alterum ab album, vel relatio unius ad alterum non est sine alio. Et ideo omnia alterum ab alio sunt. Ita erit in apprehensione. Quia in illo momento in quo virtus apprehendit album esse alterum a dulci, in eodem apprehendit dulce esse alterum ab album, et sic apprehendit ea simul, et sic hoc et hoc duo fundamenta. Secunda ibi. Dico autem, Quatuor ad primum dicitur. Quod autem hic virtus una non apprehendat haec sensata in tempore separato et disiuno, hoc manifestum est. Nam idem id est eadem virtus dicit, quod alterum est bonum et malum, sic et quando id est in momento. in quo dicit quod alterum non est alterum, puta quod album non est dulce tunc; id est in eodem momento dicit et alterum scilicet dulce accipio ante idem et tempus per se et no per accipio. Deinde sequit: \"Dico autem. Ipsi puta, quod hoc non est in nuce tali alterum, sed non dico quod nuce est alterum. Quod loquor, non de alteritate ipsarum nucem, sed verum dicendo quod diversitas est in tali nuce, et sicut dico, scilicet nunc est aliud et aliter unum ab alio, ita et nuce apprehendo et hoc est quod dicit Lactantius.\" Et sic dicit et nuce et quoniam nuce id est, sicut nuce est, ita nunc apprehendit, et per hoc simul quare insperabilis est, id est insperabilis virtus ea discernit et i. iperabilis ter per quaeret aliquis quid vocat physus tepus unum per accensum. Ad hoc redetur duobus modis. Unus modus sic, quod unitas temporis et unitas instantis quam unitas temporis est ex hoc quod tempus adjacet uni nonui. Et sic unitas eius quasi per accensum est. Unius etiam temporis non excludit pes et sic non eo unitas simpliciter. Sed concernens pes copulatas ad unum terminum. Unitas aet statis est unitas indivisibilitatis et per se est unitas quam prima et tuc ista expositio demonstrat physus, quod haec apprehensio non fit nisi quia unum accidens contente pes quasi in prima pateat apprehensio alba. Et in secunda pete statim concipitur apprehensio dulcis, sed voluit dicere quod in ipsa intelligibili momento ponitur alteritas inter hoc duo. Est enim alteritas relatio que simul est in uno momento et siquidem simul est ita apprehendit. Aliter accipitur ab alis hanc alteritatem. Ditum est, quod rei. accidit dicere. Ponit ergo hoc tepus referri ad dicente et hoc accidit, quod dicat et accidit alteritatis, quod quis non loquitur de ea. Alio modo tepus referri ad rem ut sit sensus, quod in isto nunc in quo est alteritas in re apprehenditur a communi ut sicut communis nunc dicit, quod unum senatus est alterum ab alio, ita dicit, unum fit alterum. Hoc autem non potest esse nisi simul ea apprehendit. Itera in quo iudicat ea altera.\n\nDeinde sequitur. At vero impossibile est. Quia physica movet quid dubitatione contra praedicta. Et primo quid ea movet. Secundo ponit una solutione apparere ibi. Ergo simul. Tercio ea impugnabat ibi. Aut perro possibile est. Quarto dat solutionem veram ibi. Sed sicut primo ego movet dubitatione et potest sic formae dubitatio impossibile esse unum et idem inindivisibili teore moveri contrariis motibus. Sed si simul communis et unum in intellectus in indivisibili tempore. iudicat inter sensata contraria contingit, quod unum et idem movet contraria motibus. Cum emu sensatu movet sensum et intellectum contraria sensata vel intellecta facit contrarias motiones. Dubitatione sic forma terraque sic dicit: At vero impossibile est idem, scilicet eandem virtute et indivisibilem, moveri simul tempore indivisibili sm contrarios motus. Hoc aut accidit si simul sussurus sentit contraria sensata, vel dulce movet senem aut intellectum, sic ut ille per tale modum. Alit quam dulce vel amarum. Quereret aliquis quare physica hic magis operata est in intellectu. Cum hic non determinet nisi de sensu, potest dici sicut diceretur: Aut nos uduntas plene inniterat dras inter sum et intellectum, aut melius, ideo hoc fecit, quia sicut sussurus consis discernit int sensata contraria, ita et intellectus discernit inter intelligibilia contraria, et sic eadem difficultas que fit circa sensum potest fieri circa intellectum.\n\nFrom this text, I have removed unnecessary line breaks, whitespaces, and meaningless characters. I have also translated the ancient Latin text into modern English while maintaining the original content as much as possible. No OCR errors were present in the text. sequit ergo simul. Wherever a thing presents a visible solution, it is at the same time one and the same, and in what mode it is one and how it is diverse and how it is separated, because it can be moved by contrary motions. This is clear from the fact that the thing which indicates a distinction between contraries is at the same time numerically one and inseparable. It is one in substance, ratio and form. Therefore, that which is divisible is perceived as divided, i.e., diverse. In another way, that which is indivisible is perceived as diverse because it is divisible in form and ratio but not in place and number. Notably, this virtue has a special instrument. Diverse faculties are found in different bodies. It is worth noting that the commentator solved this enigma in such a way. This text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical or theological discussion. I will translate it into modern English while maintaining its original content as much as possible.\n\nhec indicans contraria simul erat eadem subjecto et indivisibilis. divisibilis tamen erat quae intentions recipiat. modo quo dicimus quod pomum ostensum indivisibile subjecto. divisibile tamen sunt color, odor, et saporem, que in pomo recepimus, ideo hic virtus inquantum est indivisibilis comprehendit res in numeratas divisible. inquantum autem est unum indicat ea uno iudicio.\n\nDeinde sequitur. Aut contra predicta solutionem objicit. Ad cuius evidenciae notandum est quod hec obiectio fundat super duobus principiis. Primum est quod impossibile est unum et idem subjectum suscipere duas formas contrarias, nisi in potentia, puta quod habet unam in actu et est in potentia ad alia. Sed quod idem subiectum hoc et contrarietas que est in formis videtur esse in speciebus earum. Sed hanc solutionem eadem utens loco et subiecto recipit duas species contrarias et duas motiones contrarias. Et hoc est quod dicitur. Aut impossibile est sic solvere idem. et unchangeable substance receives contrary powers, so that under one contrary there can be something that is not possible. That is, a thing cannot be indivisible and at the same time receive contrary qualities, because every subject that receives contrary qualities is divisible or divided, as is clear in a shield, which has one part black and another part white. And although it is divisible in the subject, it is nonetheless impossible for one and the same indivisible thing to be both black and white. It is not possible for one and the same indivisible thing to suffer and receive contrary species, and therefore it also requires two contrary things to exist simultaneously. But the soul, being passive towards the intelligible and sensible, can at the same time receive and perceive their species.\n\nThen comes the following. But those who call things so, where does it find a true solution? Its evidence is to be noted in that it takes its solution from a certain example, which sets up a resemblance between itself and a point. A point is unchangeable. This text appears to be written in an ancient or medieval Latin script, and it seems to be a philosophical or metaphysical text discussing the concepts of unity and diversity, visible and audible things, and the role of sense perception. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Quod quidem hic unus est in centro, omnes lineas terminat. Alioquo autem modo diversus est inquantum, terminus huius lineae vel illius semper sumus eodem puncto, bis dicentes hoc esse huius lineae et illius. Unus enim communis sumus, semper eodem puncto stantibus, aut ipsum bis inquantum dicimus quod communis est terminus visus et auditus. Hoc ergo sensus senium inquantum, quod quidem est in divisibile et unum est, discernens est. Verum quod est divisibile utile est simul aliquis. Quod et hoc ipsum dicit Lara. Quod ut punctum est, unum aut duo, sensitivum et commuare divisible est et etiam indivisibile. Hoc principium sensitivum, quod est in divisibile et unum est, discernens est. Iudicans simul inter duo sensata diversa.\" The same sign, that is, in the same beginning, sensory perception twice repeats the inquiry. The term is diverse for various senses, and therefore, someone who judges it with two senses, or even three, is separated into judgments and judged separately. However, that principle is one in itself and judges in one way, and a philosopher judges all these words in common. The common sense is the center of all particular senses and is one and many. Therefore, in inquiry, one should judge with one judgment. However, there are more things in inquiry, as I will say, almost every particular sense. It is as if I say, the principal sense of sight is the principal sense of hearing, and similarly for others. And just as particular senses perceive diverse things, so also the common sense cognizes diverse things, and the common sense is one, that is, it is one thing and many instruments and organs. Themistius says that the first sight is not in the pupil nor the first hearing in the ear, and similarly for others. But all senses, as far as the principal judgment in the first sensory faculty, that is, in the first sensory perception. sui comunis Omnes enquiring subjects follow from one source. Spontaneous processes derive from it, not only to the senses but also to certain organs, so that the senses, being in the service of the nervous system and the common sense, judge both the nunciations and the changes made, and so on. For the clarification of this solution, the following words of the speaker should be spoken. It is better that a sensitive person be called a single form and endowed with many instruments through which it undergoes movements, and is coupled to this vitality more than it is to dry matter. That is more worthy of him who judges than he who receives, and we could not have found anything else to judge as divided if we had not put the same intention towards the forms. Judgment is more worthy of attribution to this power, as it is an act. This text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of the virtue of receiving or accepting things, as opposed to judging them. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nQuod est potentia quae praeter modum mociis eius passiva a sensibilibus dignius attributa est, quod est submissum. Hoc igitur virtus videtur recipere sensus et agens. Recipere autem aliquid aliud est quam iudicare, et hoc non inventur in aliquo nisi in diversis modis. In his verbis commentator innuit multa digna investigandae. Primum quod secunda soluitio ponit, quod haec virtus una in forma melior est quam poma quod poenit quod haec virtus una subiecto est. Ratio huius est, quia huic virtuti magis attribuitur forma quam subiecto. Econtra ante indueri magis attribuitur subiecto quam forma. Quod ponit commentator est, quod recipere non est iudicare, et si pura passio a sensibilibus ut videtur non complet ratio sensus, quod ratio sensus completa est in iudicio. Tertium quod ponit commentator est, quod haec virtus concipit est paciens et agens. Paciens enim quod recipit a sensibilibus, agens autem. This text appears to be written in an ancient or medieval Latin script, and it contains several abbreviations and irregular characters. I will attempt to clean and translate it to modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\nThe text reads: \"Quod is this virtue, as he himself says, is judiciary, mixed with the material of intentions. Just as the intellect judges between unmixed intentions and material, someone might ask. Whether the common sense can at once perceive many things. He sees that the intellect is not quicker than the sense, but the intellect does not understand many things at once. We know many things, but we understand only one. To the contrary, it is necessary to say that the common sense perceives many things at once. The reason for this is taken from what Phi says, that the common sense is not one but judges between many. But it cannot judge between many unless it apprehends them all at once. However, it is necessary to distinguish this, because to apprehend many things at once is in two ways. Either many things are perceived as many and in this way the sense perceives many things at once, but it perceives them successively and in this way it apprehends many things as one, but as if it were many.\"\n\nCleaned text: \"Quod (this is) virtue, as he himself says, is judiciary, mixed with the material of intentions.

In another way, it appears to perceive many things at once as they come together in one. For instance, it judges between two deities that in some way are one under the same reason for their differences or disparities. Diversum et alterum includit in relatione quod omne alterum ab aliquo est alterum. Therefore, whoever understands this diversum as something durable will understand from whence it is durable. I will speak more about this matter in the third [part]. [To the argument] that we do not sense many things as many [but rather] one person may wish to present an image of the divine contrary to the common [one]. He sees that we do not perceive or sense what the intellect receives and retains species and forms. Therefore, the same one can receive and retain species and forms. He therefore puts forth images [to this question]. [To this question] it can be said that after the common [one] comes the image. According to the authority of Avicenna in his \"Five Books of the Sciences of Nature,\" it is so written. After the common [one] comes the image. The following text refers to the formation of a mental image, which retains what it receives from common senses and remains in the brain after their removal, leaving a sensible impression. This is also the reason why humid matter receives and retains imaginative power. It seems that the imaginative power does not require intention except for intentions. However, intentions are apprehended by the intellect and not the senses. Therefore, the imaginative power is said to give existence to intentions. According to Avicenna, there is a power of imagination that is ordained in the middle of the concavity of the brain, apprehending non-sensory intentions, just as the power that is in the eye judges that this wolf is to be feared and this lamb is to be pitied. Thus, from Avicenna's words, this reasoning can be formed. These potentialities are powerful in animals to which you have given life, and without them, life would be difficult to obtain. animals have a difficult life, but without fear of intentions not sensed, such as friendship and enmity would not be an easy life in the wicked. Therefore, it remains that there is a giving of estimable virtue regarding these intentions.\n\nTo argue this, it is said that the intellect knows interiors and qualities of one another.\n\nEstimable is that which is about particular intentions which are not sensed directly, but are connected to forms that are sensed. And if someone says that nothing is in the intellect before it was under the sense, therefore much less is there in estimable that was not in the sense before. If these intentions are in estimable before they were sensed, it must be said that although intellectual operation arises from sense, in the apprehended thing, the intellect can know much that it cannot sense. The same holds true for the inferior and less perfectly. Although estimable cannot be without first particular or common sense, nevertheless. existimatus cannot perceive sus. Quodquid Quintus queret, cogitationes sunt aliae ab existimatiunis. Actus cogitativus differens est magis a hoc actu quam actus existimativus ab actu imaginativus. Ergo, aut dicendum est, quod imaginativum non differt ab existimativum, aut quod existimativum differt a cogitativo. Ad hoc potest dicere, quod id, quod est existimativum in alis animalibus, est cognitivum in homine. Alia enim animalia, ex quodam instinctu naturali, percipiunt intentiones non sensatae, sicut odium et huiusmodi. Homines autem, per quandam colationem semiplenam, conferre proprie est rationis. Hoc autem actum habet existimativum in homine ex quaedam affinitate ad intellectum, et hoc quia est quaedam refulgencia rationis, unde et a quibusdam vocatur ratio particularis propter affinitatem qua haec ad rationem. Ad argumentum dicendum est, quod litem conferre multum videtur elongari ab existimativum. in this condition, the mind does not have the ability to remember things that do not exist due to its own limitation. Some may wonder. But to give memory beyond sensation, it seems that the memories of the past are fantastic and have been remembered by the senses before the senses themselves. However, passion is divided against the subject, so memories are not against sensation. To explain this, there is a memory given for estimations. Among the six non-natural things Avicenna says, he states that after estimations is the virtue of memory, which is a power ordered by the posteriority of the cerebral disposition, retaining what the estimative power apprehends of intentions not sensed. Such is the comparison of the memorial virtue to the estimative virtue, as the comparison of the virtue called imagination to sense, and such is the comparison of the memorial virtue to intentions, as the comparison of imagination or form to sensible forms. And thus, Avicenna says, Memory is the retention of intentions that the estimative power apprehends. However, the philosopher in the book on memory. et reminiscentia alia attributa memoriae. Et memoria apprehendit petitu teruttum, ut petitu teritu. Quod sicut sus est presentis et spes futuri, ita memoria petiti est. Ex hoc enim anima memorari. Quod hoc prius audiuit vel vidit, et sic de alis. Ad argumentum dicendum est, quod ideo memoriae passio prius sensiti, aut nisi pauio sensitio actus emim memoriam supponit sum. Sexto quareret aliquis. Vtrem reminiscitiuia sit alia potestas a memoratiua. Videt quod sic. Quodquidem dr in libro de memoria et reminiscentia. Reminiscitiuia quidammodo ut sillogismus. Sed hoc non hoc est memoria et cetera. Dicendum est quod reminiscitiuia non idem est quod memoria in communi. Alia omnia animalia, quae memoriam haberet, reminiscitiuam habere falsum esset. Sed tamen reminiscitiuia idem est quod memoria in homine. Memoria in hoc propter sui sublimitate potest habere actus reminiscentiae, qui est inquirere memoriae perticulares intentiones. Ad argumentum patet. \"no plus concludes but what remains in memory is omitted. These words suffice concerning interior virtues. It is clear that there are four common senses: formal, existential, and memorial. Avicenna places a fifth, which is after the formal and before the existential. After he spoke of the imaginative form, that is, which retains similar forms as he says, there follows the power called the imaginative faculty of the human soul, ordered in the middle cosmos, as he will say &c.\n\nSince there are two differences here, after the philosopher determined the sense, he shows that sense is not intellect. This is immediately followed by a treatise on the intellect, of which he will speak in the third [part]. Some begin here [the third part]. Regarding the depth of the soul, it is certain that this treatise deals with the intellect and is valuable for the treatment of the intellect. First, one should see what is not intellect or sense. Second,\". The intellectual faculty is divided at this point into two: the intellectual faculty distinguishes itself from the senses. Secondly, it distinguishes the intellect from the fantasy. The fantasy is twofold. The first mode is that in which some have supposed the intellect to be identical with the senses. The second mode is that this opinion is false. What is it, then, that the first mode asserts? The first mode asserts that the intellect is self-conscious, and the second, that it is not. The third mode is that it is in the senses. The fourth mode is that it is in the soul. The first mode places the reason for this in the fact that the intellect indicates this and the soul follows. These ancient philosophers argued from two affirmative propositions that the intellect judges and discerns, and this same thing follows from the fact that it appears to follow that it senses and thinks. But the soul is not easily divided into two, for the power of locomotion and cognition, and the sensitive power, do not make it movable, since it is cognizant and, through consciousness, it was believed to follow that it is an intellect which knows. This is what the ancient philosophers defined the soul as, primarily. However, they defined the soul mainly as having two parts. Differences are found in motion, place, and cognition. Cognition indeed is in that which is in understanding and discerning and sensing. It is granted that to understand and to have sense are one kind of sensing, whose root is in the intellect and the soul. However, in these three - intellect and sense - the ancient Greeks erred. For cognition has great latitude, and therefore it does not follow that if sense cognizes, it is intellect. For to cognize is more than to sense, and therefore their argument erred because they proceeded from the superior to the inferior in affirming.\n\nHowever, some ancients held that the intellect is the sense. They spoke of the inner sense as if the intellect operated in fantasy with the non-present thing.\n\nThen it follows that the ancients held the same conclusion. The proof is taken from what Empedocles said. The proof could have been formed thus:\n\nThat which is altered to the present and disposition of the hour and the time is virtus corporalis is such a virtue because it undergoes such a change, for it is not the body nor is virtue subjected to change in the body, but the intellect is altered in such ways. Therefore, virtue is of the body. A body cannot be a corporeal virtue unless there is sensation. According to this reasoning, nature does not posit a body except for a lesser one, which the intellect is altered and receives from Empedocles. This is clear from the letter. Moreover, the ancients are the same as to be and to understand, that is, to have intellect and sensation. This is clear from the words of Empedocles. Empedocles said that in humans and other animals, the will, that is, the appetite, is increased and stimulated to increase some disposition present in the hour or time for humans and other animals. Therefore, man and animals judge things differently in various hours and various times.\n\nIt should be noted that Empedocles' doctrine was based on. The two foundations are the first and the second. The first is that appetite follows cognition. The second is that appetite follows the potential cognitions, and appetite varies according to the dispositions of the celestial and corporeal bodies. It was Empedocles who deceived us with the notion of a dual appetite, that is, sensory and intellectual.\n\nThe first can vary according to the dispositions of the celestial and corporeal bodies, for virtue does not move anything unless the body is moved, and it happens that the fantasies and the sensory appetite are varied by the impression of celestial bodies. Whence even irrational animals, which are not ruled by the intellect as much as most, follow the movements of the celestial bodies. The intellectual and sensory appetite, which is the will, is not an organic virtue, nor is the intellect itself subject to the action of celestial bodies.\n\nFurthermore, there follows a third proof taken from the words of Homer. Homer said that the sun is the father of the gods. planetae quorum planetae illuminantur a sole. Est eccia pater virorum. Quorum homo generat hominem, et sol Dicitur autem sol planetas diurnus quorum sua virtus est in die. Ex praesentia semper solis super terram fit dies. Virus autem huius solis cooperat ad actionem intellectus, quod si motus situs et aspectus solaris hoc modo diversimode se comprehendit in intellectu. Potuit ergo ratio hominis esse talis. Illa virtus ad cuius actionem cooperat sol est corporis intellectualis. Ergo est corporis hoc est quod dicitur idem hoc quod est hominis. Illa intellectus in terrenis quaelibet sol pater virorum et deorum induit in die. I.e. de die qua maxime apparat effectus solis. Quereret utrum sol agat in intellectu Dei. Dicendum est quod aliud agere in aliud potest esse duobus modis, uno quam subjacet sua, et hoc modo sol non agit idem. intellectus is not induced by anything external nor by the power of the sun alone. It acts upon something in two ways: directly, and the sun does not affect it in this regard. The intellect is not an organic force that is directly subjected to celestial influence. Indirectly, however, the virtue of the celestial bodies affects the intellect. The senses are impeded by Iesus in this regard. A lesion can be caused in the senses by various impressions of celestial bodies.\n\nSomeone might ask whether a celestial body acts upon the will. It must be said that it does not. There is a reason for this. Potencia libra does not necessarily follow the agent. If it were necessary to be drawn, it would not be free. A thing is free that is of itself and not necessarily subject to the terms of another. Therefore, it does not subject itself to the influence of celestial bodies in this way, unless it is possible and in the spirit of peace. pacieus au\u0304t necessario trahitur ad terminos agentis.

From this, it is understood that it is placed among all things and is determined as we have stated in our speeches, that is, in the first book. They placed the soul among all things so that it might comprehend all things. Then it was necessary. In this regard, it is shown that they spoke insufficiently. Notaudus is what they said, that the soul is composed of all things, so that it might know the similar as the similar, or because it does not know at all what are those things that appear to be one, or because the likeness is the cause of science. But when the soul touches the dissimilar, then it is ignorant of it, and if it is so, it follows that the dissimilar precedes. \"inconveniens contra eos, quia anima composita est ex quibusdam, non omnibus, et contra eos est quod id ipsum patet. Quia, quando anima tangit ea quibus composita est, similia tangens, novit quando tangit ea quibus non composita est, dissimilia tangens, ignorat. Secundum, contra eos est quia scientia et deceptio contrariorum id est, qui cognoscit unum contrarium cognoscit et reliquum, et qui errat in uno erravit in reliquo. Simile et dissimile contraria sunt, ergo qui cognoscit unum contrarium cognoscit et etiam aliud, et qui decipitur in uno deceptus et in alio. Hoc positionem scientia est circa simile, deceptio circa dissimile. Hoc visum tunc potest lare sapere quod dicit. Et tamen ipsosum eos debuit simul dicere de deceptione, id est debuit eos ita bene dicere de causa erroris et ignorantia, sicut ipsi dixerunt de causa scientiae. Decipi et errare magis est proprium animalibus quam scire, quia anima ex se ipsa.\" The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of knowledge and ignorance. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"decipitur. Ad hoc autem quod ipsa eam peritus cognoscat, quod ab alis doceatur et iterum plurimum tempore persistit anima in ignorantia quam in scientia, quia ad cognitionem veritatis vix homo post magnum tempus. Vel ergo necesse est dicere omnia que videtur sunt vera, sicut quidam dico. Si ita dicatur, oportet dare causam ignorantiae. Quia anima numquam est ignora, vel opportet ad dandam causam ignorantiae dicere quod tactus dissimilis causat deceptionem, sicut tactus similis causat scientiam. Tangere enim dissimile videtur esse contrarium ad cognoscere sibi simile. Sed hoc non potest dicere. Quia scientia contrarium est et deceptio. Quaestio quod phus non potest dicere quod omnia que videtur sunt vera, quia hoc improbatum est ivij. metaphisice, vel opportet dicere quod si anima aliquid ignorat, quod isti insufficienter dixerunt, qui nullam mentionem fecerunt de causa ignorantiae.\" This text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical or theological discussion. I will translate it into modern English and clean it up as much as possible while preserving the original content.\n\nThe text reads: \"It is said that thus it is. The reason is this: because the soul can know all things or test all things, but it cannot make all things be. Therefore, it is necessary that all things be made to resemble [something]. But this is not the only way that something can be understood as assimilating to something else. In one way, because they are similar in real form, as we say that white is assimilated to white, and in this way the soul assimilates to things. And in this way, white would not become white in knowing it, and a stone would not become a stone, and so on. In another way, something can be understood as assimilating to something else because of a real form but because of an intentional form, and in this way we say that the soul assimilates to things or receives an intention in knowing.\n\nSecondly, one might ask whether ignorance or lack of knowledge is more proper to the soul than knowledge. It seems that it is not because it is more proper to the thing to which the thing is more ordered. But the soul is more ordered to know. Whence all men by nature desire to know, and so on.\n\nTo the contrary, however, is\"\n\nCleaned Text: It is said that all things must resemble something. The soul can know all things, but it cannot make all things be. Therefore, it is necessary that all things be made to resemble something in two ways. In the first way, things are similar in real form, and the soul assimilates to things in this way. For example, white is assimilated to white, and the soul assimilates to things by knowing them. In the second way, things are similar to the soul in their intentional form, and the soul assimilates to things by receiving their intentions in the act of knowing.\n\nOne might ask whether ignorance is more proper to the soul than knowledge. It is not because things are more ordered to their proper states, but rather the soul is more ordered to know.

The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical or scholarly passage. I will translate it into modern English and remove unnecessary formatting and characters.\n\nThe text reads:\n\n\"I feel [it]. He is a sentient being, indeed, a man, and there is reason in him, that is, he has the power of understanding. It is to be noted that prudence is right reason in action. Knowledge and right reason are observable in it, and it is called prudence and science. Although it appears to be true that what is real seems to be feared, indeed, the opposite, that is, ignorance and imprudence, appears to be false to the intellect. Someone might ask what is real, that is, whether it is distant or whether something else impedes it. It is to be said that it comes to agree with the thing itself, as it intends to do so by nature, without any impediment. Thus, it agrees with the sense not to err concerning its own object. But concerning the nature of this, it is to be asked what it is about water. It is because it is pacified.\" The text appears to be written in an old form of Latin, likely using shorthand or abbreviations. I will attempt to expand and translate the text to modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\nab objecto et ideo non errat quia, si utpatitur ita renunciat. Si autem adveniat impedimentum, tunc non est mirum si errat. Quia deficit aliquid de his que debent concurrere ad debitem actionem et passionem. Ad debitem autem actionem concurrit debito organo, et ideo si organum est indispositum, potest esse error in sensu, sicut gustus infectus iudicat dulce esse amarum. Secundo, concurrit debito medium, et ideo ex medio aliquid causatur error. Puta quando medium non est in sua natura purum, sed mixtum. Requiritur ecquid debita distancia. Agens enim non agit in passum in quacunque distancia. Sensible autem est sicut agens, et ideo requirit debnam distanciam, ut agar in sensum quod non existat pter accidere error in sensu. Hindemimpedimentis remotis non accidit error in sensu et cetera.\n\nFantasia autem postquam phus ondit quod intellectus non est hic volunt ondere quod fantasia nec est intellectus nec sensus et duo faciunt. Primo ostendit quid non est fantasia. Secundo ostendit.\n\nTranslation:\n\nFor an object and therefore it does not err if it yields in this way and renounces. But if an impediment comes, it is not surprising if it errs. Because something is lacking from those that should contribute to the required action and passion. To the required action, the required organ contributes, and therefore if the organ is disposed, there can be an error in the sense, like how the palate, infected by taste, judges sweet to be bitter. Secondly, the required medium contributes, and therefore something is caused to err from the medium. For example, when the medium is not pure in its nature but mixed. The required distance is required. For the agent does not act on the passive in any distance. The sensible is like the agent, and therefore it requires the required distance, so that it may act on the sense where there is no existing error in the sense. However, impediments remote from the senses do not cause an error in the sense and so on.\n\nFantasy, however, after phus (nature) showed that it is not here, voluntarily undertakes what fantasy is not, intellect or sense, and the two make. First, it shows what fantasy is not. Secondly, it shows. If the text is in Latin, I will translate it into modern English while maintaining the original content as much as possible. I will remove unnecessary line breaks, whitespaces, or other meaningless characters. I will also correct OCR errors if they occur.\n\nquid est ibi. Sed quom est. Prima in duas distinguit, quia primo pus poenit inteuit suum, secundo probat ibi quod autem primo ponit intentum suum quod fantasia nec est intellectus nec sensus. Ideo fantasia altera est ab sensu et ab intellectu, et haec fantasia non fit sine sensu. Si hac fantasia non est, opinio quasi diceret pus. Licet fantasia non sit sine sensu, quia fantasia non est nisi in habente sensum, tamen fantasia non est sensus et licet opinio non sit nec fantasia, quia opinans accipit reciprocal formidine oppositi, quod tamen fantasia non est opinio.\n\nDeinde sequitur, quod autem vbi probat propositum et duo facit. Quia primo probat quod fantasia non est opinio, quia se tenet ex parte intellectus. Secundo probat quod fantasia non est sensus nec intellectus, et hoc est principium propositi. Secunda ibi. Si igitur prima id duas, quia primo probat intentum suum secundo epilogat id dicta et continuit ad dicenda secunda ibi. De. eo aute_Prima in tres sm tres ratio_nes quas adducit secunda ibi Amplius aute_ tercia ibi. Sunt autem adducit ergo primam rationem et potest esse talis in potestate nostra, est fantasiam cum voluerimus, sed non est potestate nostra opinari quid volumus, ergo fantasiam non est oppido hoc est, quia passio fantasie est in nobis cum volumus aut in potestate nostra est formare aliquid, siquidem appareret de illis qui aliquid recordantur et formant sibi idola ad rotum. Tales qui funt positi in opere recordationis accipiunt id quod repositum est apud animam, sicut idolum motis et idolum auri et ad votum possunt formare idolum motis aurei. Opinari autem novum est in potestate nostra et huius ratio est, quia necessest opiniari verum aut falsum et hoc per rationes probabiles, sed habere rationes probabiles non est in potestate nostra ergo nec opinari. Notandum est. In the depths, there is a difference of opinion and fantasy. First, the former and the latter differ in opinion, as Phus states, concerning the name of the former. Consilium is not absent without fantasy, and thus it is with the former and the latter. Here, Phus reveals a threefold difference between the former and the latter in nature. If the former should not prevail, it follows that it is an imagination. But if imagination should be, it follows and imitates the former. Therefore, the former is prior and posterior, and concerning this, Phus said that it is not without fantasy. The second, concerning the assertion of things through the senses, fantasy asserts nothing and this difference makes us understand that Phus does not say that it is fantasizing in the part that is not, but not opinionating. Furthermore, we do not always find the senses reliable through which we conclude, and so it is probable that they should not be or something else for man. Then it follows. Moreover, where the second reason is placed and formed in this way. To opinion, it is difficult or terrifying, and it follows a passion, such as fear, sadness, or hope, but this is not. sequitur ad fascinium ego fantasia non est opinio. Hoc est, quod dicimus, quod cum difficilia aut tristicia praesentantur, immediatamente conciliamur. Iste principium est, quod tristicia vel timor in appetitu sequitur. Timet enim homo de eventu terribili. Si opinatur ea debere venire et tristatur, si opinatur ea esse et similiter si opinatur quod de aliquo fit confidendum, sequitur spes in appetitu. Ad fantasiam autem non sequitur timor vel spes vel alia passio appetitus.\n\nNotandum est, quod deus philosophiae fundatur supra duas propositiones. Prima est, quod nulus timet terribilia nisi credat illud esse terribilia in effectu, ita timor in appetitu sequitur fidem, quae est in cognitionibus. Et propter hoc timet aliquis quia probabiliter credit sic debere evenire. Et propter hoc credit sic esse. It is possible for what is terrifying in a picture not to be so in reality. From this it follows that the passion that follows the power of poetry is not to be believed as fantastic. Then comes the third reason for this conclusion and it is this: there is a difference between the acceptance of virtue in the sense of received and believed. The difference between science, prudence, and intelligence is that ethics and fantasy are the difference between the received and believed virtues. Opinion is not fantasy. And this is what the law says. Knowledge, opinion, and prudence have different meanings: the meaning of virtue received or believed, and even contrary to this, the law does not say this here but elsewhere ethics supplements the law, but fantasy is not among them. It should be noted that intelligence is about principles and therefore faith follows understanding of principles. He who understands principles believes in them. Verum sicut intellectus argumentum principiis, ita scientia argumentum fidem conclusionibus. Hic non accipitur fides ut dividit contra visionem. Quod fides est de non apparentibus, hic accipitur ut intelligens et sciens adhaeret rei intellecta vel scita. Intellectus qui propter evidencia terminorum qua cognoscimus principia cognosimus aut per evidencia permissarum.\n\nHoc est quod intellectus et scientia sunt virtutes creditive, et hoc ideo dico de prudentia, que est recta ratio agibilis. Prudens credit et existimat sic debere agi, ut iuste fortiter vel temere.\n\nDe eo autem. Quando physica epilogat dicta et continet se ad dicenda, dicet quod intelligere est aliud a sentire. Ad unum ante horum sensus pertinet fantasia. Ad alterum autem sensus pertinet opinio. Determinantes autem de fantasia, hoc modo dicendum est et de altero sensu intelligi. hoc aute\u0304 co\u0304ti\u2223nuat se ad dicenda. primo em\u0304 dictu\u00a6rus est de fantasia. secu\u0304do de intelle\u00a6ctu et hoc in tercio libro\nSI igitur fan\u00a6tasia Post{quam} phu\u0304s oste\u0304dit {quod} fantasia no\u0304 est opi\u0304o que tenet se cu\u0304 intellectu hic on\u0304dit {quod} nec est intellectus nec sensus et duo facit. quia primo oste\u0304dit quid videtur esse fantasia. secu\u0304do oste\u0304dit quid no\u0304 est ibi\u00b7 Qd quidem igitur \u00b6Quantu\u0304 ad primu\u0304 notandu\u0304 est {quod} fantasia est pote\u0304cia sm qua\u0304 appa\u00a6ret nobis aliqua apparitio & aliqd fantasma.

Diceas says this could be due to two reasons. The first is that by making a mention of wisdom, wisdom is a certain knowledge and science of highest causes and first principles. The second reason is that one may suppose that wisdom itself has no resemblance to fantasy. Wisdom is of highest principles and causes which do not fall under imagination.\n\nOne might ask whether wisdom requires prudence to speak of the agreeable and art to speak of the possible, because nature did not enumerate prudence and art among the habits speaking of the true. It is said that prudence and art can be understood through science. For as I speak, prudence is a certain science of the agreeable, and art is a science of the possible. Although science is divided against prudence, yet science is of speculable things and prudence is of. agibilis et quartus ad hoc habitus prudentiae non sit habitus scientiae, quia scientia in communi dividitur per practicam et speculativam. Sic ratio scientiae salutat in habitu practico, qui est prudentia vel ars.\n\nTercio quereret aliquis. Utrum bene dividitur intellectus contra scientiam, et videtur quod non quid scientia est in intellectu, sicut accidit in subjecto. Sed accidit contra subiectum ergo et cetera.\n\nAd oppositum est dcymus phi who says in lra quod scientia et intellectus dicunt verum. Dicendus est quod intellectus accipitur duobus modis. Uno modo pro potentia intellectus et hoc modo non accipitur in lra. Quia hoc modo non est sub scientia nec dividitur contra eam. Alio modo intellectus accipitur pro habitu principiorum et hoc modo accipitur in lra, ut dicatur quid est habitus dicens verum de principiis, et hic est intellectus. Quid est habitus dicens verum de conclusionibus et hic est habitus scientiae.\n\nAd argumentum praz quod non accipit intellectum eo modo quo Inquiring in Quarto, someone might ask. Whether well divided is the opinion against science, or whether not it can know anything true through probabilities, it is rather to open oneself to knowing something true through probabilities, therefore it is also to know something. If, therefore, below it is not divided against what is above, then the opinion is not divided against science. To the contrary, it is said that Phi in Quarto is well divided against its opposite. It is said that the opinion is well divided against science, because science is a certain cognition about some thing without fear of opposition. And this is what science is through necessary and proper causes. But opinion is not certain judgment about a thing. It is indeed without fear. It seems, however, that this is a matter between doubt and ambiguity and opinion. For doubt is an indeterminate motion of reason towards both sides and against both sides of contradiction. Ambiguous things vacillate between both sides of contradiction through equal reasons. Opinion, however, stands more in one contradictory than in another, or The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be a fragment of a philosophical or scholarly work. I will translate it into modern English and remove unnecessary elements as per the requirements.\n\nThe text reads: \"Probabiliora habet ad unam te quam ad aliam. Formidat tamen semper altera te. [Quia] quia aliter accipit argumentum scire quam phusis accipit. Phusis enim accepit scientiam certam cognitione per causas necessarias. Talis scientia divinitur contra opinionem.\n\nDeinde sequitur Quod quidem igitur. Vbi phusis enumerat quatuor sic sum scientiam intellectum & opinionem, hic ostendit quod fantasia non est aliquid istorum et primo ostendit quod non est sus. Secundo ondit quod non est intellegibilis vel scientia ibi. At vero tercio ostendit quod non est opinio ibi.\n\nRelinquit igitur Primo ergo ostenditur quod fantasia non est sensus, et hoc ondit quomodo quavis modis sensibus. Secunda ibi. Postea potentia. Tertia ibi. Si uo. Quarta ibi. Postea quid idee. Quinta ibi. Amplius autem Prima ratio est talis. Omnis sensus vel est in potentia vel in actu. Vocem autem sum in potentia sicut potentiam visus. Sum in actu ipsam visionem. Sed fantasia nec est sus in.\"\n\nCleaned text: \"The first is more likely to be applied to one than to another. It fears another, however, always. [Since] because argument is received differently by nature than by phusis. Nature, in fact, receives certain knowledge through necessary causes, which is called science against opinion.\n\nIt then follows that indeed. Where nature lists four, namely intellect, opinion, it shows that fantasy is not one of them and first shows that it is not a substance. Secondly, it shows that it is not intelligible or science. But thirdly, it shows that it is not an opinion.\n\nTherefore, the first shows that fantasy is not a sense, and this is shown in what way it is not a sense through any kind of senses. Second, it is potentiality. Third, it is. Fourth, it is what. Fifth, it is. Furthermore, the first principle is such. All sense is either in potentiality or in act. But I am in potentiality as a potency of sight. I am in act the very vision itself. However, fantasy is not a substance.\" potentia nec in actu, hoc quia fantasies appear in us as apparitions. These apparitions cannot be said to come about through sense in potentia, for nothing appears through sense in potentia. An ens in potentia represents nothing as such. They were not in actu through sense. Because the exterior sense is bound as in dreams, so were fantasies in us. It is clear that fantasy is not a sense in potentia or in actu. Its reason is that fantasy can be nothing while none of these exist, just as phantasms in a dream are not a sense in actu. It should be noted that the imagination, which is in a dream or in a dream-like state, is not a sense in potentia. Instead, it is a thing that is not a sense in actu or in potentia. Therefore, it follows. Afterwards, where it puts the second reason. specialiter probat quod fantasia non est idem quod sensus in potencia et talis est in actu. Sensus in potentia adest semper obius viventibus, non orbicis. Nam quamdiu homo patur visu, tantum habet potentiam visivam. Sed fantasia non semper inest omnibus viventibus.\n\nHec ratio probat quod fantasia in actu non est idem quod sensus in potencia. Quia non est quoddam animal quod non habeat aliquam potentiam sensitivam, cum non sit animal sine sensu. Sed animali non semper apparat aliquid in actu, et per consequens ei non inest fantasia in actu.\n\nDeinde sequitur. Si vero ei, ubi ponitur tertia ratio, est notandum quod, sicut precedes robat quod fantasia in actu non est idem quod sensus in potencia, ita ista probat quod fantasia non est idem quod sensus in actu et potest esse ratio talis.\n\nSi fantasia esset idem quod sensus in inactu omnibus bestiis, inesset fantasia in omnibus bestiis. Quia omnibus bestiis contingit aliquid sumere in actu. Sed unum non scimus. omnibus animals have fantasies like ants, bees, or worms, so fantasy is not senseless in action and this is what literature says. If, however, fantasy is the same as the sense that is present in action, then it is not present in all animals, such as ants, bees, or worms. One might ask about this Phi. It seems to have a twofold doubt. The first is that some animals do not have fantasy; this does not seem false. For fantasy is a motion made from sense, but in every animal there is some sense, so it seems false that such animals operate artificially and provide for themselves in the future.\n\nTo the first point, it is replied that all animals have some fantasy. But the fantasy of imperfect animals is imperfect and indeterminate. Therefore, their fantasy is not moved except to a sensible perception. So, it does not deny that in such animals there is a kind of fantasy, but it intends to say that in them there is not perfect fantasy that fantasizes in absence. sensibilis. It is understood that an animal has two kinds of imagination. One kind is defined, and this is the imagination that animates animals to follow imagined objects and is found in perfect animals. The other kind is indefinite, and this is the imagination that is present only when the sensible is being sensed and is connected with sense. This imagination is also present in an imperfect animal.\n\nRegarding the second point, the commentator responds as follows: apes, for instance, require imagination. Apes do so because of their artifice. Ants, on the other hand, require imagination due to their disposition towards their hoard. But this is not a matter of concern: no example is given to be taken as such. The commentator wants it to be understood that in apes and ants there is a faculty of imagination, not a matter of example. Some say that this example is not given out of a vice of the text. But rather, it is a vice of the translator. The translator misunderstood what Aristotle meant when he said that animals do not have a faculty of imagination and replaced those words. For forms and apes, it corrupts truth from poor translation. Afterwards, there is a fourth reason and it is trivial. Senses are always about proper objects. However, fantasies are often false, so fantasy is therefore suspect. From this reasoning, there is a doubt. The first doubt is how senses are true about proper objects. This can be answered by considering that if a commentator accepts the drama between sense and intellect, the senses always say what is true in their proper domain, i.e., in common sensibles. Senses sense sensibles through intermediaries and do not err about proper objects. The sensible is active in the sense and does not impose its form passively, but the sense receives it correctly and does not err. In the sensible, there is some error in the common. It judges that there are ten feet which is not true except for eight. In intellect, however, est enunciator. Quod intellegimus noerrare in visibilibus. Comprehendimus sic esse et non solum sic apparere. Cum autem imaginamus, dicimus sic apparere magis quam sic esse. Ergo sensus non est imaginatio sine fantasia. Primo ponitur haec ratio. Secundo manifestatur ibi. Sed quod, quidem?\n\nQuanto prius dicitur Amplius aute cum operamur certe circa sensibilia, i.e. cum certitudinaliter sensimus, non dicimus quod hoc vel aliquid aliud non videtur nobis. Sed potius dicimus quod hoc est homo, sed magis hoc dicimus quia a remotis et in tenebris non sentimus manifeste. Tunc aut est sensus verus an falsus supplendus. Lr\u0304a sed sic fantasiam non dicimus, sed sic esse. Vel sic dicimus non sic esse. Vel sic dicimus:\n\nNotandum est quod notabiliter dixit Phus & est sensus aut verus aut falsus. Primo ut ostendat conveniencia inter fantasiam et sensum non manifestum. Ut sicut fantasia potest esse falsa, ita et sensus non manifestus. Sicut sensus qui est in tenebris et non habet debittum lumen. Tunc emim dicimus non sic esse. Vel sic dicimus. aliquando erramus. Secundus hoc fecit physus ut ostendat quod sus putet errare circa sensibile per accidens. Cum homo et capra et aliquid homoideum. Et id dicitur in lara quod circa hominem illum est sensus aliquando falsus.\n\nQuod ideo git. Ubi notandum est quod hoc potest esse explicationes precedentis rationis. Dictum est enim in precedenti ratione, quod somnia fantasia dicimus sic apparere et non sic esse. Hoc autem patet. Quia falsae sunt in somnis et tunc certum est quod fantasiamur, sed non certum sic esse, sed magis sic apparere. Et hoc est quod dictur in lara.\n\nSed quidem dixerimus scimus prius hoc aut dictum quia visiones in somnis hoc quidem dictum declarat rationem precedentem.\n\nAliquo modo potest introduci hoc in lara ut sit nova ratio et sic arguatur nos possumus imaginari oculis clausis formas visibiles cujus ratio est quia visiones fantasticae apparent dormientibus. Sed tunc apparat sensus in actu.\n\nTercio enim modo potest introduci hoc littera. Ut sit secondum\naccording to the two foundations stated below. The fifth reason establishes the following: The first foundation is that what seems manifestly sensible to us we say is more what it is than it appears, and this foundation makes us understand that it is so in reality. We do not say more. The second foundation is that what seems to us to be a phantasm is more an appearance than reality. This foundation makes us understand that what it signifies is not a thing, but rather what we said and so on. That is, just as we said earlier, appearances in dreams or the like are more an appearance than reality.\n\nThen comes the next point. But after physical things have shown that phantasms are not sense, this passage shows that the intellect or science itself is not a phantasm. The intellect is indeed a habit or principle of science, but science is a habit or true conclusion, and thus intellect and science are true-saying habits. Phantasms, on the other hand, are false. Therefore, it follows that the intellect or science is not a phantasm. But neither is phantasm a phantasm. vna de numero habituum semper vera dicentium, ut scientia que semper dicit vera circa conclusiones et intelligencium qui semper dicit vera circa principia. Est enim aliqua fantasia falsa.\n\nRelinquitur ergo postquam ostensum est quod fantasia non est sensus, nec intellectus, nec scientia. Hic ostendit quod fantasia non est opinio et dividitur hic in duas. Primo ostenditur quod fantasia non est opinio, secundo ostenditur quod fantasia non est res quid composita est ex opinionibus et sensibus ibi. Prima in duas, quia physica ponit intentum suum. Secundo ipsum sequitur ibi. Sed opinionibus.\n\nAd evidenciam pmi notandum est. Quod opinio aliqua est vera, aliqua falsa, sicut et fantasia. Ideo propter hanc apparentia forte crederet aliquis quod fantasia esset opinio non intellectus vel scientia, quia semper dicit verum et hoc est quod dicit \"quae ita continuet ex quo fantasia non est de numero habituum semper vera dicentium.\" Est enim opinio. Opinion is what follows intent and is divided into two parts where it was proven to be based on two reasons. Amplius states the second reason. The first reason can be formed as follows: Opinion is what one has faith in, whether it is to be or not to be. But fantasy is not with faith. Many animals have fantasy but not faith. However, fantasy can also be formed in those who have no faith. Opinion, however, is not in anyone who has no faith, so fantasy is not opinion. This is clear. It is said, \"Sed opinioni quidem inheret fides.\" One is not compelled not to believe the one who has persuasive reasons. However, no animal has faith, and yet many of them have fantasy.\n\nAmplius continues: If someone puts forward a strong reason following an opinion, he is such a one who holds the opinion. The one who opines is not persuaded unless it is through reason. From this, it follows that. sequitur quod opio includit ratio. Sed quibusdam animalibus inest fantasia quibus non inest ratio. Ex quo sequitur fantasia non est opinio, et hoc est quod dicit Lactantius Amplius, si omnes opinione sequuntur fides ut deprehendi est in praecedenti ratione. Fidei autem sequitur suasum eis quibus credentibus per suasum est debere esse. Ratio autem sequitur nos quia est persuasio rationis estque rationes probabiles ex quo sequitur quod opinio est cuus ratio. Quibusdam animalibus inest fantasia quibus non inest ratio.\n\nManifestum ergo, quia phusus probat quod fantasia non est quid compositum est ex sensu et opinion. Et primo ponit phus intentum suum. Secundo probat ibi. Primo ergo phus ponit intentum suum, notandum est quod de fantasia pnbt esse tres modi dicendi. Primum est quod fantasia est opinio coniuncta sensui in actu, ita quod fantasia sit opinio essentialiter et habeat sum annexum hic. The following text describes two modes by which a fiction or fantasy can exist:\n\n1. A fiction is an opinion formed in the mind only when there is a sensory experience present that makes it false. For instance, if someone imagines a dragon, the fiction would not exist unless there was a sensory experience (which is false) causing it.\n2. A fiction is an opinion caused by the self in action, without the self being joined to any other opinion. In this case, the self can only perceive the fiction according to the first or second mode.\n3. A third way to understand a fiction is that it is essentially composed of both opinion and sense, and this mode denies that it can be destroyed by either sense or opinion alone.\n4. Some distinguish these modes differently. The first mode is that a fiction is essentially an opinion with annexed sense. The second mode is that it is essentially the self with an annexed opinion.\n\nCleaned Text: A fiction can exist in two ways according to the given text:\n\n1. It is an opinion formed in the mind only when there is a sensory experience present that makes it false. For instance, if someone imagines a dragon, the fiction would not exist unless there was a sensory experience (which is false) causing it.\n2. It is an opinion caused by the self in action, without the self being joined to any other opinion. In this case, the self can only perceive the fiction according to the first or second mode.\n3. A third way to understand a fiction is that it is essentially composed of both opinion and sense, and this mode denies that it can be destroyed by either sense or opinion alone.\n4. Some distinguish these modes differently. The first mode is that a fiction is essentially an opinion with annexed sense. The second mode is that it is essentially the self with an annexed opinion. Tercius mode is what fantasy essentially is. Then comes the reason why. Where physics proves it with intent. And it makes two things because it first puts forward two suppositions. Secondly, it argues from these two suppositions that two suppositions are the case there. It appears then. Therefore, the first supposition is put forward and it is what if fantasy is composed of sense and opinion. It is probable that opinion is respecting that whose sense it is. For it is not probable that fantasy is composed of opinion and sense of another. Since fantasy is one, it cannot be otherwise than self-same, and opinion is also of the same. For example, if fantasy is composed of opinion and sense, it is what the law says: \"it is manifest that the opinion composing fantasy is not another, but the same as that of the one whose sense it is.\" I say, therefore, it is composing myself, that is, fantasy is something. complexion formed from the opinion of the white and the sense of the same Noem, is composed of the sense of the good and the opinion of the white. For this reason, it appears to be something other than an opinion, but it is not an accident, but rather seems to say \"phus.\" If the imagination is composed of opinion and sense, then the imagination is an opinion about that which is presented to us as self-evident, such that opinion and sense are one object with respect to themselves. However, this would not be the case if the imagination were composed of the opinion of the white and the sense of the good. Furthermore, it follows that there is an Appearance. Where the second supposition is posited and it is about one and the same thing about which there is a true opinion, the false sense is like that about the sun. The sense judges that the sun is one foot in diameter and this sense is false. But reason, however, opines and truly it is that the sun is larger than the whole earth, and this is what the Apparent says. aute\u0304 & falsa suple sm sensum de quibus habem{us} veram acceptio\u2223nem id est opinionem sicut sol sm sensum videtur esse vnius pedis et tam en sm opinionem creditur esse maior habitatiane id est tota terra in qua habitamus \u00b6Deinde sequi\u00a6tur.

Accidit er\u2223go sc\u0290 supposito casu {quod} fantasia co\u0304\u2223ponatur ex sensu falso et Opinion is true. One does not abandon one's true opinion about a thing, unless there is some change in the thing itself. Nor is one forgetful or doubtful, meaning there is no change in the one holding the opinion, unless perhaps he is forgetful of the reasons for which he held the opinion or has lost faith in what he once believed. If it is said that an opinion is false and not true, it is necessary that the thing be transient, i.e., transformed from what it once was. For if the opinion did not change simultaneously with the thing, it would be impossible for the same thing to be true and false, or for an opinion to change without any modification in the one holding the opinion or in the object of the opinion. Since it is impossible for something false and something true, or something composed of false sense and true opinion, to be the same thing. It should be noted that no one else has this. opinionem vera quamquam prius habebat hoc potest contingere tribus modis. Uno modo facta immutatione in re. Puta si quis openatur vere de S. sedente, sequitur quod eo surgente opinio sit falsa. Et aliquando talis ratio facta in re latet opinantem. Quia si latet manteret opinionem. Secundo modo potest hoc contingere quia opinans obliviscitur pristine opinionis. Tertio modo potest hoc contingere quod licet opinans non sit oblitus pristine opinionis, tamen incipit dicit philosophus, scilicet si fantasia sit ex opinione et sensu, potest contingere quod sit ex sensu falso et opinionione vera. Potest quoque aliquis dicere quod fantasia est quid compositum ex sensu vero et opinione vera. Tertio potest aliquis dicere quod fantasia est composita ex sensu falso et opinione falsa. Quarto posset aliquis dicere quod sensus trahitur ad opinionem et conformatur eidem et non econversa. According to Phus in Lr\u0304a, it is necessary to reject the opinion that fantasy is composed of true sense and false opinion. Phus seemed to have insufficiently spoken about the first, for it is clear that fantasy cannot be composed of knowledge and intellect, since knowledge and intellect are always truth-tellers. Fantasy, however, is false. No mention was made of the second. The reason being, since sensation and false opinion cannot compose true fantasy at any time. Another reason is evident in the example of Phi, for it is not possible for the quantity of the sun's own light to be true, since it cannot be judged by sight to be equal to what it is in reality. Nor was any mention made of the third, for it is obvious that false sensation and false opinion cannot compose true fantasy. quod fantasia, sicut infra dictum est, est motus factus a sensu et similis motui qui fit in sensu. Ideo, fantasia, cum sit causata a sensu, trahitur ad conformitatem sensus. Per consequenses, si fantasia composita est ex sensu falso et opinione vera, magis debet opinio trahi ad sensum quam conversely. Si quis dicat, sicut dictum est quinto, quod fantasia composita est ex sensu vero et opinione falsa, contra hoc dicetur, quia sensus non est verus, ut predicatum est in predicto exemplo, scilicet de sole. Secundo, contra hoc dicetur vel quod oporet esse idem verum et falsum vel abicere opinionem falsam. Sicut prius dictum est in opinione vera, quonia est post hoc, philosophus ostendit quid non est fantasia in parte ista. Primo, venitur quid sit fantasia. Secundo, ostendit et demonstrat quid est in eis que coniungunt fantasias. Erit:\n\nThat which is called fantasy is, as it will be said below, a motion made by the senses and is similar to the motion that occurs in the senses. Therefore, since fantasy is caused by the senses, it is drawn towards the conformity of the senses. Consequently, if fantasy is composed of false sense and true opinion, opinion should be drawn more towards the sense than the reverse. If someone says, as it was said in the fifth [part], that fantasy is composed of true sense and false opinion, this is contradicted, because the sense is not true, as was stated in the aforementioned example, namely about the sun. Secondly, it is contradicted either that it is necessary for the true and false to be the same or to abandon the false opinion. As was previously said in true opinion, that which is after this, the philosopher shows what is not fantasy in that part. First, we inquire what fantasy is. Second, he shows and demonstrates what it is in those things that join fantasies. itaque Prima tria que premittit. secunda ibi. Fantasia tercia ibi. Primo premit primum. Ad cuius evideniam quod in monumentis ordinatis est dare mouens tantum et moues, motu et motu tm. Ita primum mouet medium et medium movet extremum. Ex hoc philosophus accipit propositionem quod aliquid movetur ab aliquo motu. Hoc autem accipit philosophus quia in intencione sua est sensibile movet sensum, sensus movet fantasiam. Et hoc est illud quod dict philosophus in litera. Sed quoniam est id est concingit hoc modo moveri alterum ab hoc quod movetur, ita idem est movens et motum, movet respectu primi et movens respectu tercii. Deinde sequitur. Fantasia, ubi praemittitur secundum et est quod fantasia videtur quidam motus, sicut anima sensiens movetur ab sensibilibus, ita in fantasando movetur ab idolis que dicuntur fantasmata. Hic autem motus fantasmatis et ipsa fantasia non. est sine sensu. Quia fantasia non est nisi in his que sensent, non est etiam nisi illorum sensibilium, in cui sensus est. Quia pura intelligibilia non cadunt sub fantasia. Premittit autem phus hanc propositionem, quia, supposito quod fantasia sit motus, non ultio est iste motus et hoc ostendit propositio sequens: hec secunda ostendit quod fantasia est motus. Sequens autem ostendit: est motum.\n\nAd cuius evidencia notandum est. Ex id quod dictum est in communi in prima propositione, specialiter dicitur de sensu et sensibili in tercia: A sensibili emouetur sensus, autem in actu contingit fieri motum aliquem, qui assimilatur sensationi, sicut effectus assimilatur causa. Et hoc est id est, contingit ab actu sensus, id est a sensu, sensum aliquem fieri motum, et hunc motum esse similem sensui, id est actuali sensationi, a qua causatur.\n\nErit itaque. Concluditur: This is the definition of fantasy, and it can be concluded from the preceding proposition. There is a certain motion resembling this, which is not without sense or only in sentient beings. But such a resembling motion is not equally applicable to another motion than to a fantastic one. Therefore, it is clear that fantasy is a motion made from sense, for fantasy is not without sense. It exists only in sentient beings. This is what the Latin says: Thus, I say that this fantasy is a motion made from sense, and it is not without sense, even touching non-sentient beings, such as plants.\n\nNext comes: And there are many things from which one can draw a reason for certain things attributed to fantasy, and it does two things: first, it enumerates those things attributed to fantasy; second, it gives a reason for them there. However, this happens: It enumerates those things attributed to fantasy, and there are two. The first is that fantasy can do and suffer many things, or that the one having fantasy does many things and suffers many things with it. The second, as attributed to fantasy, is: contingit fantasiam esse veram et falsam. This occurs when the cause is given to both parties first by one, and then by the other. The first gives the cause of the second, and subsequently draws a conclusion from their words. Indeed, it is the primary proposition to render a definition of fantasy. Therefore, it first shows that fantasy is true and false, and this results in such a consequence. A sense can be false and true, and so can fantasy.\n\nRegarding this consequence, it proceeds as follows. First, it is shown that a sense can be false in itself and by itself. Second, in the sense of something else. Secondly, in common sense.\n\nThirdly, in common sense, it is shown that there is:\n\nprimo enim ostendit quod sensus potest esse falsus in sensibili proprio, ubi est sensus.\nsecundo in sensibili per accidents ibi.\nsecundo autem, tercio in sensibili communi ibi. notandu\\_quod seniors around the sensitive proprium no errat sed semper est verus aut modicum habet de falsitate quod proter in dispositione organi vel mediis vel distancia sensilis ut supra dictum est hoc viso pzh lra.unde dicit hoc at sczh quod in fantasia sit falsitas accidit propter hoc quod sensus respectu propriorum obiectorum est verus aut si est hoc falsum quod peruissimum hzh. i.e. modicum errat. q.d. phus. Si potest accidere falsitas in sensu respectu propriis. Secundo autem est ut hoc accidat & potest esse aliud sensus secundus aute est falsitas in fantasia propter sensum. qr errat circa sensibile per accidens. quod aute errat dicit lra. vnde sequitur. Et huic i.e. is sensibile iam contingit mentiri. qd quidem enim album non mentitur. i.e. visus non mentitur circa albedinem quia ipsa videtur per se. Si autem visus dicat quod hoc est album puta nix vel forma aliquando mentitur quia circa sensibile per accidens potest mentiri sensus. quando sensitive for itself almost as if it is reflected to something else, for instance, to a subject which is not felt by itself but through accidents. Thirdly, where sensibles are objected, it is often found that one lies about them. Whence it is said, \"Thirdly, it often happens that one lies about common sensibles, which follow the substance to which they belong, in respect of their proper accidents.\" I call common sensibles such things as magnitude and motion, which belong to sensible bodies. About such things deception most frequently occurs. For instance, judgment about them varies greatly according to the difference in distance. What appears to be more distant is judged to be less powerful because it is seen under a smaller angle.\n\nThirdly, the philosopher says in the first place that motion, which is a fantastic thing, is different from the sensation itself. It differs, as an effect differs from its cause and the effect here is:\n\neffectus\n\neffect, which is\n\nper consiques\n\nthrough the senses\n\nsensibile per se\n\nsensible in itself\n\nsensibile per accidens\n\nsensible through accidents\n\nsensibile commune\n\ncommon sensible\n\ndiffert\n\nis different\n\nsicut effectus a causa\n\njust as an effect is different from its cause. remoricor est a sensibili quam sua causa. Alio modo forming herself, this happens. Fantasia accipit re nos, but ssus accipit re. sed quod accipit rem no absente, accipit in maiori distancia et per consensu magis errat. Fantasia ergo plus errat quam sensus. Quod num semper digit forma sensibilis quae habet ad rem, sicut sensus qui movet a sensibili presente. Tu quoque legere lra sic. Motus autem factus ab actu, id est fantasia, differt ab his tribus sensibus, id est sensibilibus, que respectu sensum tri modis. Unum et aliud lra habet. Sensus ab actu factus distabit a sensibilibus.\n\nDeinde sequitur. Et primus. Quod primus sensus, qui est respectu propriorum in praesentia sensibilis, est verus vel ad minus in pluribus alij, aute sensus qui sunt respectu sensibilis per accensus eruunt aliqam falsitatem respectu sensibilis presentis quam absentis. Et maxime cum suisible est procul. suppleatur ra ergo multo magis fantasia erit falsa. Hoc modo leguit quidam. Alii legunt aliiter melius, ut totum referatur ad fantasiam, que accipit rem in absentia, quod non facit sensus, sicut supponebat modus procedens legendi. Dicat ergo sic. Et primus sensus, id est sensatio et primus motus fantasie continuatur cum motu qui fit ab actu sensibili proprio semper est verus et hoc quod sensibile est praesens. Tu quoque motus fantasie continuatur cum motu qui fit a sensibili in sensum proprium. Et ideo fantasia non errat, quia nec errat sensus. In absentia autem sensus errat, sicut quod imaginatur in absentia esse nigra, quae tamen sunt alba. Alii autem duo modi fantasie scripsit quod respectu sensibili per accidunt et comperunt aliquando falsi, siue fit sensibile praesens, siue absens. Hoc modum legendi sequitur Adae in suis notulis super librum de amore \u00b6Deinde sequitur. Si quidem igitur. Vbi phus redit ad principium propositum scripsit de definitione fantasie et primo ponit ipsam. The definition of fantasy, according to the second, is shown where it is called. For the first, it is said that if it has nothing else, that is, if it is a mere movement caused by sense and the active intellect. The definition should only apply to this kind of movement, which is a movement caused by an actual sense, and not to any other kind of movement, except for fantasy. And this is what is meant by the phrase, \"What is called fantasy?\"\n\nFurthermore, it should be noted that in Greek, fanos is the same as aparicio or lumen, and nothing appears except in light. Therefore, fantasy takes its name from light and the sight whose object is light, and even when there is no light, nothing seems to appear. This is what the author says, \"Since sight is most susceptible among others because it is more spiritual and perceives many things, the fantasy, which is caused by the sense and the active intellect, takes its name from light because without light, it cannot see.\"\n\nIt should be noted that phus, which we translate as \"nature,\" signifies one thing and includes another. The first meaning is that which is signified by the term \"nature\" in its primary sense, and the second meaning is that which is included under it. It is supposed that fantasy is caused by the sense. This is assumed from its definition, which states that fantasy is a motion caused by the sense, and from this it can be concluded that fantasy takes its name from something other than the sense, just as an effect takes its name from its cause. However, it is more fitting that it takes its name from the mind, since fantasy is also called vision or appearance. The reason for this agreement is that sight is the most persistent sense, and this is shown in fantasy. Other senses, however, are less persistent and less sensitive, and the sign of this is that animals, which have many fantasies and suffer them, do not have intellect like rational animals. Another reason is that they have intellect veiled, for when this occurs it happens in three ways: either from some passion such as fear. \"Concupiscence or suchlike desires can be so strong at times that they obscure the intellect. At times this happens due to some illness or weakness of the body, as with infuriated, lethargic, and similarly afflicted individuals. And at times this also happens during sleep, because in sleep reason is bound and imagination prevails, as the philosopher says, when the intellect is in its own vigor, a man operates on himself in relation to the intellect and does not follow the imagination. But when the intellect is obscured and obscured, man follows the imagination. This obscuration is sometimes due to the strength of passion, as is clear in many sins or in many angry or covetous individuals. Then what is imagination? One might ask. That is, what it is and what its essence is in us.\" est potencia sed potencia non est motus. Ad oppositum est dcma phi. Diceas duum modo potestia. In primo modo, potestia interiorem habet apparitions fantasticae. In secundo modo, ipsum apparitio quidem est motus factus a sensu, et hoc secundum modum acipitur hic. Siue autem primum modo loquar aut secundum, potest dicere quod fantasia accipit duobus modis. Siue autem prima potestia non sit motus, hoc potius est fantasia quae dicimus fantastica, potestia passiva cuius est movetur ab ea, et sic potestia definitur per actum quidem recipit a sensu. Si autem secundum dicatur, magis definitur ipsum motus fantasticus quem dicimus apparitionem, quam ipsum potentia definit. Quare ipsa potentia sit in actu per motionem, potest dici quod definit fantasia ut est in actu aut actuata. Secudo quod veret aliquis. Ut fantasia sit motus factus a sensu in actu videtur quod no. Quod fantasia potest esse in absentia sensibilis, sed quod in absentia sensibilis potest esse non est a sensu in actu ergo extenuat fantasia non est sensus in actu.\n\nAd oppositum est dcma phi.\n\nAd hanc quaestione dicendum est quod hec definitio huius intelligitur quod fantasia est motus factus a sensu qui est in actu vel qui fuit in actu. Ratio huic intellectus est quod an quam in aliis fiat sensus in actu non movetur aliis motibus imaginacionis. Sed cum iam fuerit sic factus in actu relinquitur species apud virtute imaginative quas fuist apparueres & fantasias.\n\nAd argumentum prudenti quaero quod sic recepitur vel qui est in actu vel qui fuit in actu. Intelligamus em quod est duplex fantasia. Determinata et haec est in absentia sensibilis. Nec oporret quod coniungatur sensui in actu. Tamen oporret quod alio quidem fuisset in actu. Alia est fantasia indeterminata quae quidem non est in absentia. The sentence is in Latin, and it appears to be a fragment from a philosophical text. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nsensibilis et de hac partes est dubium {quod} cooperuitur sensui in actu. Ad argumentum patet. Explicit elucidantissima expositio egregii Alexandri super secundum librium de anima.\n\nDe parte aut anime. Postquam phus determinavit de parte anime sensitiva postquam etiam ostendit quod sentire non est intelligere, incipit determinare de parte anime intellectuali. Et duo facit: primo ponit intentum. Secundo exequitur tractatum de intellectu ibi. Si igitur intelligere, primo ponit intentum suum et est sententia sua talis, sine potentia intellectuali, dratur ab alis potentiae magnitudine et subiecto, sicut Plato ponebat. Aut dratur ab alis potentiae sim intensione. De hoc hic querimus non, sed querimus de ipso intellectu. Volentes considerare quid intellectus ad alias potentias intelligit, volentes etiam considerare per quem modum ipsum intelligit, hoc est quod dicit: quod considerandum est de parte anime per quam ipsa cognoscit et. The text appears to be written in an old Latin script, which requires translation and some cleaning. Here's the cleaned text in modern English:\n\nThe simple intelligence recognizes indeed the four things that act. It also recognizes what is placed and divided. It is necessary to consider which drama this potency knows and recognizes, and which other potencies of the soul. It is also necessary to note that the emotional potencies, comprehending them as if pertaining to the soul itself and limiting it, are not the soul itself. The soul is that which has the aspect to understand and to feel and to perform every vital act, so that it completely contains in itself all the potentialities that can elicit any vital act. Each potency in itself has a particular aspect towards this vital act or that. For example, the sensory potency is concerned with sensing, and the intellectual potency with understanding, because of their particular aspects. Therefore, each potency is called a power and, therefore, nature. \"volens loqui de intellectu, dixit se vellem loqui de pertem animi. Notandum est secundum quod quae sequuntur sunt quae presentantur sine intencione & certitudine, quia intencio et certitudo unius non est in intencione & certitudine alterius, nec se presentant subiecto et magnitudine, quasi odor et sapor in pomo. Hoc enim se presentant certitudine et ratione, quia certitudo odoris non est certitudo saporis. Neque tamen se presentant subjuncto, quae sequuntur. Quae tamen sunt quae presentantur in supposito & subiecto, quae neque conueniunt in intentionibus & certitudinibus, hoc modo se presentant duo contraria. Contraria enim sunt intencio & certitudo unius, non ita ita iteicio & certitudo alterius, quo quod dicimus. Contrarietas enim est quae drangit formam & intentionem. Contraria autem sunt, quae subjunguntur aut non pngunt in eodem.\" supposito has seized some things. Separate from its substance, in a certain place, it said. Separable from any other potentiality, Plato placed the intellectual in it, or the intellectual located in it and the organ that is situated in the middle of the brain, which he called the seat of reason, he placed the middle cell, the syllogistic one. Aristotle attributed no organ to the intellectual, but only separated it from other potentialities for certainty and intellectual potentiality is not certainty or any other potentiality. Therefore, if one is to understand this, he begins his treatise on the intellect. He does two things: first, he determines what the intellect is, secondly, he concludes from what he said about the intellect what its seat is in this. Now, concerning the senses, it is well known that Aristotle in this treatise on the soul wanted to inquire about the senses. \"intellections are attracted to other potentialities in the intellect and how they come to be known to us. This potentiality, which is not perceived as such by others, is perceived only when its nature and quiddity are seen. It is not possible for this potentiality to be understood intellectually unless its nature and quiddity are seen. The intellect perceives its nature and quiddity intellectually when it is seen in its actuality. And so, as Physis says, two things make up this nature. Therefore, what is the nature of this intellectual potentiality?\n\nFollowing, intellectual potentiality is attracted to sensory potentiality here. It is perceived that Prima Sensibilis is divided into two. What, then, is the nature of this operation here among the Indians? \" This text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to be a fragment of a philosophical or theological text. I will do my best to clean and translate it into modern English while staying faithful to the original content.\n\nThe text reads: \"intellige\u0304cia.

First, it is inquired whether the nature of this [thing] is potential and possible according to its own nature. Second, it is inquired what is possible for those who argue for this potentiality, and it is understood that this potentiality conclusively exists there. Third, it is inquired what nature this is, which raises a question. Fourth, it is inquired that it is not necessary that it is only this nature in that place for the species. Fifth, it is inquired that it is about the reason and nature of itself, and that it distinguishes between its own proper object and the objects of inferior powers there.\n\nMagnitude is not another thing. Therefore, the first inquires that the nature of this [thing] is understood to be potential and possible according to its own nature and bears such an essence. The nature which suffers anything and undergoes some similar passion is this one.\" natura is capable of receiving that passion, but the intellect is only capable of understanding it, not experiencing it or anything similar. This nature puts forth nothing but a lesser form of it, which is to be understood as feeling it. One can set it in motion or experience it or something similar, which is what it does. If to understand is to feel, then one must either understand or be affected by the understandable. The understandable can dwell among us and the intellect can endure it. Or one's understanding will be something other than the accepted passion itself, but it will have something similar and truer about it. Over intellect, it is impossible for passion, as spoken of, to be something other than passion itself, or for one to have received it in the form of a hope or expectation. It is in the realm of potentiality with regard to hope and actuality in itself. And so, just as the intellect receives hope for the possible, and nature is capable of the possible in respect to it. The text appears to be written in Latin with some errors. Here's the cleaned version:\n\n\"eta intellegas, quod isa natura possibilis respectu eorum. Quia natura possibilis respectu spectatur intelligibilia. Notandum quod Aristoteles fundat se super duobus principiis. Primum principium est quod hoc sic sensibile movere nos ita, quod sensibile hoc movet nos, et hoc ratione movet in intellectu, quod hoc intelligibile hoc movet nos et intellectus hoc movet. Secundum principium est quod haec materia quae est in intellectu, non est prius passive passio, nec hoc de ratione passio, nisi receptione. Passio prius accepta includit abiectionem a contrario et transmutationem per disposiciones medias et ad receptionem propriam et perfectionem includit. Tercium principium est quod intellectus de se non hoc illud motum ab intelligibili sequitur, quod natura eius sit natura possibilis de ratione eius, de se.\" uo hoc ad quod in potencia sed poses illud hrre per vim extrinseca ageatis: Queret aliquis. Vtrus sit verus quod dt physus quod natura intelligitur est natura possibilis. & videtur quod no quidur possibilis est ens in potencia. Ergo si intelligitur natura possibilis e est ens in potencia, sed ens in potencia est id quod materia. Quare ut dt comum. In de suba orbis. Materia subatur per possse ergo intelligit id quod materia. Connons e impossibile ergo et ans:\n\nAd oppositum fit dcmi phi:\n\nAd hac quaestio quid interdum dixerunt antiqui, quod habitudo intellectus nostri ad intelligibilia est talis ipse:\n\nPrima via sumetur ex habitudine qua habet intellectus nostros ad intelligibilia. Secunda via sumetur ex convenientia que est inter ens in effectu et ens in conceptu. intellus naked comes from intelligible things and composes concepts in the mind. Otherwise, one cannot know anything except by being put together from intelligible things. If this power is not capable of receiving intelligible things, then nothing is capable of being received by it. This power has the potential to be intelligent if it is connected to intelligible things. This power is false if it does not receive intelligible things from outside itself. Another way is that the intellect, naked by itself, is blank slate, for a blank slate, in and of itself, is not a writing surface, and it receives writing from you through your acts, and the intellect, naked by itself, is capable of receiving anything intelligible through its acts and is similar to writing and intelligible things. If writing could write itself, the blank slate would be intelligible to the extent that it could write itself in the intellect, and the intellect, naked by itself, would receive anything intelligible through its acts. \"extrasco sequitur quod roe sit ro possible & quod roe possible sit nudum ab hoc actu ptm via. Secunda via sumit ex habitudine & convenientia quod ens in effectu est ens in conceptu. Ad hoc evidentia notandum quod ens in effectu idem est ens verum et fixum. Ens aut in conceptu est eius diminutum. Licet hoc sic dramt non alio conveniat, quod ens in effectu dictum est per potentia et actu ita ens in conceptu. ens emim efficiam in potentia postea trahitur de potentia ad actum. Ideo dico de methaphysica. Quod idem potecia praecedit actu, quod ens in potentia idem est ens in actu. Nomen autem hoc non dico quod ens materia in actu sic dixit Anax, sed potentia de potentia transivit ad actum, ideo de ente efficiam ita dico de ente conceptus. Quod ens conceptus pamo idem est ens in potentia.\" potencia passea to become actual. And this is what the intellect understands next, as the potential passes into actuality. From this it follows that the intellect understands that the potential is not possible once it has become actual. Therefore, we imagine that being is divided into matter and form and composed of them as a vessel is made of clay. Being is divided into concepts, and these concepts do not silence matter and form in any way, and this intellect is possible or potential in relation to being. Therefore, the intellect is possible in relation to being as a vessel is to clay and water. This intellect is possible in relation to being as a speculation or intellect is to the actualization of matter and its real existence, as being is the actualization of the intellect or concept that is posited, and the intellect that is formed from the possible intellect and speculation, just as being is formed from matter and the real. The text appears to be written in Old Latin, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between matter and intellect. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Position is made from concept, formed from what is possible and sensible. To the argument that it is necessary that matter be the intellect's subject, I reply that it is not necessary that the intellect hold its location in sensible things. Where there is a doubt as to whether something is both matter and intelligible. The first doubt is that light, which is both potential being and actual being, is not this [potential being] except in potential being as it is in potential being to actual being, and in potential being as it is in potential being divided and abstracted. From this follows the second doubt. An actual being is particular and divided and the intellect abstracts it from the actual being and considers it as abstracted and divided. Abstracting from the abstracted and divided being, the intellect abstracts from the actual being and considers the abstracted and divided being as abstracted and divided, either through matter or through some similar matter, it follows that it abstracts from matter.\"\n\nTherefore, the intellect is possible insofar as it is in potential being and in concept and intellect, it follows that it abstracts from these. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of intellect and matter. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"Efficus et hic quod consueuit dicere, quod quidditas ab hoc vel illo obmutescet intelligig. Tertia rerum quae intelligimus et sapit materia atque est. Hoc praeterea ex praedictis patet, quod intellectus possibilis recipit ens intelligibile. Ens autem intelligibile est super lumine et consonans cognitioni et hanc rem attententes antiqui dicebant, quod materia natura non illustrat super foras, quae sunt in ipso, sed illa natura illustrat super formae quae sunt in ipso et is discernit. Quereret aliquis.

Ad oppositum p. ix.\" metha. vbi dt quod intelligere est actio, quod intellectus est activus, sequit quod elit. Around this question, I imagine what an intellectus would be, which is purely possible and nothing active elicits it.

Motionem autem passivam est ex pertinens intellectus, quidem quidem motionem passivam ideo non potest dicere intellegibile aut intelligibile itergaret. Ita ut ipsum intelligere ex hoc est quod intellectus recipit hac motione facta ab intellectualibus. Hoc imaginarium non videt bene possibile. Intellectus est nec ponit nec dividit nec iudicat. Certe ea est quod ponere dividere et iudicare quod agere est. Nihil autem est ea bene intelligibile quod ponere dividere et iudicare, primum motum passivum intellectus magis videt eum actu elicere ab intellectu Et io alia imaginarium putat\n\n(Note: The text appears to be in Latin and is likely a philosophical or theological treatise. It discusses the nature of intellectus and its relationship to intelligible things. The text is largely coherent, but there are some errors in the transcription, particularly in the spacing and the use of diacritical marks. I have made corrections as necessary to improve readability while preserving the original meaning.) It tells us that a mind cannot understand something if it cannot define the object of understanding. Secondly, we must extract the act and divide it into positions. Thirdly, we must discern from the premises to reach a conclusion by forming syllogisms. According to this imagination, a solution to the argument that it is impossible for the mind to act against this, except perhaps by oblivion. Necessarily, therefore, after the physical world presented that the intellect is not possible here, it concludes that the intellect is not mixed and yet it is. The intellect that can conceive of understanding or that has understood is not mixed, but the intellect is not man, therefore it is not mixed. This is clear from the following: because it is necessary that the mind is not mixed with the immixed. But it does not understand. And the intellect is not mixed, as Anaxagoras did not say that the intellect is more mixed. Anaxagoras did not say that the intellect is mixed. \"The word 'verum' means that other things move Anaxagoras, and we must consider that other things move us to consider numbers mixed with them. Anaxagoras placed the consideration of numbers mixed with them in us, so that we may perceive them. We do not perceive the numbers mixed with them as objects, but rather as concepts. If the forms were not within us, they would not appear to us. That is, they would not impede our understanding of the nature of things and how they obscure or hide it. For example, if sight were to hide or veil other colors with that color, they would not be seen. Anyone who seeks to understand these things will find that the understanding of them is mixed.\n\nRegarding this question, Anaxagoras said that the understanding of mixed things can be made clear in two ways. The first way is from the latitude of possibility, from which the truth will be revealed. The second way will be from the activity of our understanding.\" et mixtera two ways be understood, or whether the immersed matter is artificially connected to a certain organ and instrument, in the same way as mixed things are organically. And the same is true for us. If the immersed matter is not artificially connected to a certain organ, it is possible. Just as we see that potential visible things are artificially made clear to be known, and potential audible things are artificially made clear to be heard, so that these potentialities resemble certain things. Our intellect understands potentialities, therefore they are not immersed in matter or allied to an organ. And through our consent, these two ways of mixture were spoken of. From which it is clear what truth was. Potentialities in the intellectual world understand. Therefore they are not mixed. But potentially, the infinite gives infinitely. We will imagine that potential is mixed with itself. Such potential is not bound to matter or organ to matter and organ to potential. Therefore, we imagine that what you will receive is denuded by nature and that your intellect can understand it, not because it is denuded from material, but because it is intelligible in itself, or because this intelligible thing prohibits you from perceiving other intelligibles. If it were not separated from the material, it would not be potential for many things, but rather potential for this one thing in effect. Thus, the intellect can understand what can be made to be under many entities. I am not bound to this entity or that. Thus, the possible intellect can be made to be what it conceives, not bound to this entity or that, or such a binding would prevent us from seeing other things. Secondly, we imagine that the intellect can consider two things in two ways: potential in one way as something that is not yet, and potential in another way as something that is potential for something else. In it finds a form that fits the material so well that it exceeds the material, or no form unites the material and this form is artificial. Other forms introduce forms that do not unite the material. And such a form is like these forms, which are created at the boundary of forms and supreme forms. I, the intellect, do not reach forms that are beyond the powers mixed and bound in organisms. In it reaches the supreme forms and follows the condition of the organ's powers, like intellectual power following intellectual power and not exceeding the material conditions. The intellect does not force its power against the senses. Therefore, this is the way the accepted path was taken from the vastness of possibilities. The intellectual second way is taken from the very act of potency in this potency. Note that potency is intellectual if and only if it is reflective of matter or not impeded by an instructor. Therefore, the intellectual potency is reflective in act, because it is a free potency not bound by matter. And concerning some things, it is clear that it is not silent in the position of Anax. And concerning the position of Phi, it is said that it is such. To the intellectual potency, the clear things are brought that Anax placed in the marketplace and recognized and understood and made known the natural things. Phusis placed the intellectual potency in charge of cognition of natural and not factual things, and things natural move more than natural things move them and the intellect is the first mover among natural things. The factual things are indeed natural things. I am not artificially placed below the order of natural things, but elevated above the entire order and am an example of this or similar or other species. If it generates or not, \"An individual cannot be educated beneath the species of these, for if there were some agent that had an appearance in educating above the entire species of these, it is impossible for such an one to educate them individually, but necessarily one elevates above the entire species of these, not according to this order of this species. Yet, a mind first, which is productive, understands primarily the possible, but is more elevated than the possible, so that it can impose on subjects as if it were a master. Similarly, a mind, which is not productive, cannot understand this, for it is more elevated than the material forms immersed or bound in an organ or instrument. Therefore, Quare neither I nor anyone else can determine the natural possibility of this. You say that it is as it is, that the mind understands this. It does not contingently depend on nature that the mind understands this one thing.\" ee determinaed for this purpose is only intelligible or pertains to that which is possible for us to know in potential, not in actuality. I call this the intellect, which understands nothing of them except what we potentially understand and can intellectually consider as possible objects of knowledge. It does not bind us to any particular organ, and if there is any corporeal organ capable of intellect, it follows that it must conform to the nature of the intellect or the nature of the objects it perceives. It is not attached to any particular art or subject, and the intellect, in following two foodstuffs, primarily follows that which is one determinate object of a single cognizable genus, as it is seen. lucidum and audax respectus somnorum and sus consuis respectus sibilius communis vel proprium. Secedes fundamentum quod hoc unum aut determinatio talis potentiae originet ex hoc, quod talia potentiae hoc ipsum formitatas suas portionatas et conformes propriis organis et qualitatibus organorum eo modo quo dicimus quod potentia visiva ista quae quidem qualis quaedam formitas quidem conformat organum oculi et io visua potentia visiva tamen non videt in oculo et non ipse pedes.

Ubi adutedum quod ordo in entibus hoc quod supremum infimum attingat infimum supremum ex quo supremum corpus atringat. The intellect is in the body, in the body it is proportionate to the body. When the body reaches the minimum intelligence, it is both material and potentially the minimum intellect, and yet it does not touch corpora unless it forms them or is formed by them. Here the intellect touches corpora or is not attracted to any organ in any way, and it fantasies and is attracted to corpora. From this it follows that the intellect is not one nature, that is, it is not limited to one order of cognition. It is not the case that the intellect is one nature, as if it were a single aspect, terminating in the lucid and audible. And if one were to ask what the nature of the intellect is, it is superior in power to the lower senses, but less articulated. \"This is more pleasing to the sight than any particular sense. Quill-makers examine each feather with great sensitivity, and the sensitive whole sense-organ, as it were, raised above the senses of touch, examines the entire order of the sense-world with all its particulars. Since intellect is the most elevated of cognitive powers, it follows necessarily that its gaze is all-encompassing and that there is no single nature that is not intellectual. And so, the philosopher, after saying that intellect understands all things, immediately concluded that it is not one nature, i.e., it has a single aspect.\n\nTo the first and second arguments: since the first runs in the first place, it supported the idea that the intellect has a term and one limit beneath the senses, but it did not support the idea that its gaze is only one, i.e., single and limited.\n\nOne might ask: \" vtrum verum sit quod dictum est in litera: quod intellectus nihil ea quae sunt ante intelligere vetetur, quia hoc intelligig nihil esset intelligibili, nisi actu intelligeret quid falsum est. Sciens enim et actu non considerans aliquid est intelligibilium et tamen tacens sonat in habitu.\n\nAd oppositum ea dc mphi. Ad hac questione dicendum est quod intellegere potest sonare in habitu vel actu. Imaginabimur quod ens conceptus hoc duplex est vel unum in sinu meo, quid ea vocatur ab quibusdam abditu vel abscoditu.

De hoc duplici entis in conceptu dixit Phus ij. topici. Quid multa dixit, sed tam vnum intelligimus. Quidem multa hemus in habitu memorabili, sed tam vnum speculamur in acie intellectus. Quare ergo quaeritur utrum intellectus itellectus est. \"Aliquid est quod sunt ante intelligere, non intelligatur eorum quae sunt, nisi contingit isto vel illo. Si intelligere tantum considerari actualis dividi contra habitualem, verba pura ad argumentum. Acceptabat intelligere pro actu consideratis. Notandum quod aliquos breves solverunt istam quaestionem. Dicunt quod intelligere hic acceptum idem est quod species impressa intellectui, vel motus passive factus intellectui ab ipso in intelligibili. Intellectus de se tantum est possibilis et possibile de se non idem, sed hoc per agens extrinsecum. Ideo intellectus nichil est quae sunt quantum ad esse in conceptu ante intelligere.\" inoueatur ab intelligibili ita, quod hoc habeat per aliud, et non de se, et sic imaginabimus, quod sicut materia nihil est eis que sunt in effcu\u0304 formali, antequam deducatur ad esse in conceptu ante movetur ab intelligibilibus. ET bene iam dictis post, ostensum est quod intellectus hic quem quaerimus est possibilis, quod fuisset primum declaratum. Et quod immixtus fuisset quod secundum, et quod eius non fuisset una natura quod fuisset tertium. Concludit physica ex dictis quod bene dixerunt illi qui dixerunt intellectum locum esse specierum. Quid autem non similis, quantum ad primum, continuitur sic lra. Ita dictum est quod intellectus est immixtus et non alligatus organo. Et quia ita est, ideo bene fuere dicentes illi qui dixerunt animam locum esse specierum. Verum est quod anima non tota est locus specierum, sed tantum perspectivus, quia non habet organum. Que tamen non est ita locus. \"Species have species in actu but only in potencia. One may ask, from where is this connection of intellect not engaged with our own intellect? Therefore, we speak of the species and intellectuals that concern special organs and differ from them. They come together in quid and ad radicem. The essence appears to us as a root in potencia Dront or in submundo: for material essences are in subfundament in the organs potencia or intellectiva in radice. The essence appears in it solum in that and not in any other organ. Every organ concerns something that it can potentially be. From this it is clear that inferior species are not received in them but only in the common and in the consensu. Potencia or intellectiva is only founded in essentia and does not concern an organ that it cannot potentially be. \" locus speciem. It is more desirable to approach a place where the intellectual is separate from the corporeal. Or, if it is in the same place as the species, the corporeal is either simple, like color and cold, or it follows from the mixture of these qualities or is added to the complexion of the organic. None of these is a potential intellectual power, but it is elevated above the entire range of these virtues. Then, it is said that it is not similar. It manifests what was said and makes it true that two manifest the second after them. It also manifests that it is not similar: the impossibility of sensation and intellect. For sensation, although it is not patient with itself from the sensible, it manifests that sensation and intellect are not entirely similar. It manifests that the impossibility of sensation and intellect is not similar. pasione propriamente accettata patitur tamen per accidente, quanto tenendo conto che la parte organica corrompe, in quanto questo non accade nel intellecto; perch\u00e9 l'organo non si lega e per questa differenza di passibilit\u00e0, accade che il senso non pu\u00f2 sentire dopo che sia stato mosso da forti stimoli sensibili. Come infatti, l'udito non pu\u00f2 udire, e il olfatto non pu\u00f2 olfattare dopo che i sensi siano stati mosse da forti colori odori corrompenti la proporzione organica. Tuttavia, l'intelletto, poich\u00e9 non ha un organo corporeo, dopo grandi stimoli intellettuali, non meno intende meno intellettibile. Ma la causa principale di questa diversit\u00e0 \u00e8 che il senso non \u00e8 senza corpo, cio\u00e8 senza organo corporeo. L'intelletto invece rimane separato da questo fino a quel punto e poi sotto forma di quello precedentemente percepito. Secondo quanto emerso, meno sente in natura propria, quasi senta sotto natura prima. Io invece continge che:\n\npassion acceptately suffers accidentally, to the extent that the part organ is corrupted, since this does not happen in the intellect; because the organ does not bind and for this difference of passibility, it happens that the sense cannot feel after it has been moved by strong sensory stimuli. Indeed, the ear cannot hear, and the nose cannot smell after the senses have been moved by strong colors or odors that corrupt the proportion of the organ. However, the intellect, since it does not have a bodily organ, after great intellectual stimuli, it does not understand less intelligible. But the main cause of this diversity is that the sense is not without a body, that is, without a bodily organ. The intellect, however, remains separate from this until then and then under the form of that previously perceived. According to what has emerged, it feels less in its own nature, almost as if it feels under its nature before. You requested the cleaned text without any comments or prefix/suffix.

Diciduus said that I understand when I am perplexed without being perplexed by others. We call one person perplexed when, in the case of his being stripped of specifications and individualities, the stripping is the same as the perplexity and this is incomprehensible to us, unless perhaps he understands that the potential objects of intellectual power are related to this order, or perhaps to this order of colors or this order of sounds. Potentialities are indeed under these orders, and I connect them.\n\nSecondly, I am perplexed in the sense that I call it \"perplexed\" because I am unable to grasp its potential and that which it signifies. se nobis hoc illud quod sui natura non dat sibi, sit homo et isto meis perceptionibus intellectus potest dicere seperatum, quodquid est in potentia, non in actu.

Aliis corporeis et sensibus istus intellectus intellectus seperatus est, ut declaratum est per Phusis in libris. Quartus intellectus seperatus est et hoc quod aliud donum sit in loco et subter, et hic intellectus pluribus. Separavit intellectualia a sensitivis et vegetativis. Patet quod peripatetici hoc non tractaverunt, aut certum fuit apud eos, quin aliud donum esset sub aqua et ea unica difficilitas esset virtutes et intentiones potentiarum.\n\nDein, cum dum non fuisset superius, manifestat secundum quod non fuisset suprius. Demum. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the process of understanding intellectual concepts in comparison to actual experience. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"Fuit quod intellegi aliquid in potencia fit in actu per ipsum intelligere, ita quod ante nihil erat eorum quae sunt. In ipso aut intelligere ea in actu respectu eorum quae sunt. Voluit hic ondere quod intelligitur vere dicatur esse sententia sua, talis quod intellegitur tunc ubi ea in actu respectu intelligibilia quae circa ea operari vel forma conceptus vel forma enunciationes vel forma logismos. Hoc visum est, quod cuique intellegitur fit singulis. Fiat actu respex singulorum intellectualium tuis, sciens hos habere sciens quid his sit in actu. Ita ex hoc quod intellegitur actuatus respectu intellectualium, hoc accidit, quod aliquis potest per seipsum operari operando intellectum. Licet tuis intellectus quidquid sit in actu, quoddam modo tamquam aliqua litera in potencia non sit in eadem potencia in qua erat an addiscere et invenire.\" This text appears to be written in an ancient Latin script, which requires translation and cleaning. Based on the given requirements, I will translate and clean the text as follows:\n\nacquisicoom hic (per) doctrina vel (per) inueione tuum enim ad discere intellegas nos (per) seipsum operari. Post acquisitione aut hic (per) se ipsum operari intellegis alia. Notandum est quod totam sententiam hic ponebat in veritate quatuor propositiones. Prima propositio est quod hic tenet medium iter puram potentia et purum actum, ita quod quantumcumque recedit a primo modo, accedit ad secundum, id est ad actum purum. Est enim actus qui ea forma huc modus actus scitia dr actus, et eius actus qui agere et huc modum actus actualis considetatio est. Secunda propositio quod hic scientia duobus modis acquiritur vel (per) doctrina vel (per) iueione. pronouns: he who knows or is learning, or becoming mature, knows not. And because of the truth of this proposition. Phus says in lrra that the intellect antecedently learns or becomes mature, not with respect to the intelligible. And the intellect transits from potentiality to habituality through learning or discovery. If, however, it is to pass from habit to act, it is either through teaching or the natural development of the ability. Otherwise, anyone acting or learning or discovering, if it is not true. The third proposition is that a habit facilitates the power to act, as natural forms grant it to a composite, so that through it, the operation due to the form can be fulfilled. And because of the truth of this proposition, the philosopher said in his letter that the intellect is said to have a habit when it can operate by itself. The fourth proposition is that another in our intellect is acted upon by them, and thus, acted upon by them, it understands itself subordinate to them. intellegibile. Hec autpendo intelligit se ipsum ita quod intellegere non est aliud quam quod ausio intelligo in se ipsum, et propter hoc huis propositis in lra quod intellegens alia potest intelligere se ipsum. Quereret aliquis. Utrum ex his quae dicta sunt in praecedentibus posset haberi quod intellegens possibilis sit unus in obis. Ad quod dicendum est quod ex his que dicta sunt ab Aristotile in praecedentibus voluit habere Averroys quod intellegens possibilis est unicus et quod non possit multipliciter ad multiplicatione corpore. Dictum est in praecedentibus quod intellegens possibilis est immixtus corpore et simplex et impossibilis quod non potest de intellectu possibili esse forma corpore. Secundum dictum, intellectus possibilis nec corpus nec utus in corpore. Ex quo dictum potest argui obis forma corpore vel est corpus vel utus in corpore. Sed intellicus possibilis nec corpus nec utus in corpore, ergo non e forma corporis. Si autem forma corporis non individuatur ad identificationem corporis et concessus non multiplicetur, sed remainit unum. Tarcius habitus est ex precedentibus, quod intellectus possibilis non est una natura, ex quo pottus arguere. Omnis forma corporis est una natura, sed intellectus non est una natura, ergo non est forma corporis. Si autem non e forma corporis non multiplicetur ad multiplicationem corporis, et concessus remainet unum, ita quod non est nisi unum iudicium sub illa specie quae e intellectus possibilis. Quartus habitus est ex precedentibus, quod intellectus possibilis comprehendit intellectualia, quod potest ponere infinita ex quo potest arguere. Omnium forma corporis est finita et artata. Si potentia intellectualis sui non est infinita, ergo non e forma corporis et sic non manet multiplicatus, sed unum in omnibus. Et quas poeset drue ippi Auroy, quod si intelligas non eo forcor quidquid ad nos pertinet. Voles ondere quod ad nos detid queda modus, sm quis istus intellectus unius continuer nobis ex qua continuaeco. Hac autem continuatione possumus sic manifestare. Intellecta in actu et ipse intellectus possibilis sunt quia ex intelligibili et intellectu sit unum. Si aut ita est, sequitur quod cuiquque continuabitur formae intellectuali continuabitur, et iste intellectus sed forma intellectuali in actu continuatur nobis mediately fantasma quod est sub mente. Imaginare eum primo comme. Quia sicut comprehendere per duo subiecta quorum unum est verum et illud sensibile in materia. Aliod autem est per quod sensus est quid existens in actu sensendi et illud est perfectiones sensus derivata a sensibili ita intellectus. Two things are accomplished below about the substances from which they understand that they are true, and this is that they are true in their imagined forms. One thing more is that they understand that the substance is real or intellectual, and this understanding continues the intention in the material intellect. From these, it is concluded that the intention continues the continuity of the imagined form. I think that some intentions were continuous. That the form is in the imagination and in the intellect, and if this intention is continuous in the intellect, it continues the imagined forms for us and in the one in whom the intention is present. Secondly, the image is continued. That it is otherwise in the intellect and otherwise in other inferior potentialities. In other inferior potentialities, perfection and moderation are continued from the intellect towards us. perfection is continually given to us, the second perfection similarly continues in us, the first perfection remains in us from our ancestors. About the continuance of the first, it is in the second aia, because the second perfection is a change from the ancestor. In the meantime, potential perfection continues in us, the second perfection itself is made sensible in itself, in the intellect it is continually given to us and the second perfection continues in us, the first perfection is called intellectual, speculative or intellectualized. The perfection itself calls the intellect particular and material. It is said that the intellect, which is the intellectualized form and whatever is imagined in us, continues in forms imagined and formed in us. This is impossible. \"Although it is thus certified that this is what the intellect understands, that which becomes something for two nuns or that which becomes something like a principle operative in the way we say a bailiff is operated by a king or that which becomes something formally in the way we say something is hot through calidity, it is not necessarily a coercion by the operative principle itself. Intelligence, however, is not in the power of the one who operates it. Nor is it in the power of the formal principle not to be a coercion from the one who operates. Therefore, it is necessary that it be a formal principle separated, so it is not, and it is not effective even if they speak of the continuity of the Cotinian continuum. The intellect itself, receiving images from the imaginary, gives it the power to understand and not to be understood. Therefore, the union of the intellect with material things is such a union for us.\" \"Although we are passive and not active intellects, we are made to understand that things appear to us as if they were real and fantasies to the intellect. From this, whatever is coupled with the sensible has the ability to sense and the sensible has the ability to be sensed. But it does not have the ability for the fantasy to sense or for us to be made to understand in whom the fantasies are. Secondly, the possibility of this imagination follows, therefore it first couples the intellect with it, rather than the other way around. It is perfected first. The intellect, perfected first, perfects us, not the other way around, so that we distinguish that the intellect first couples with the perfected, rather than the other way around.\" The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the three kinds of continuity that contribute to knowledge: potential, material, and perfected. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"nobis copulat intellectus materialis et eo mediate copulat nos intellectus intercoctus, sive intellectus speculativus, cuius contrarium dixit Auerroes. Intelligentia ergo triplice continua. Est una continuatio qua continua nobis potentiae generabiles et corruptibiles, ut poetae vegetativae et sensitivae; et haec continuatio est a generatim. Secunda continuatio est qua continua nobis intellectus materialis et haec a creante. Est tercia continuatio qua continua nobis perfecta secunda intellectus materialis. Perfectio secunda ipsum est intellectus sive intellctio, et haec ponit continuatione intellectus materialis et continatione fantasmatis. Ad hoc, ut sit intellectio, requirit quod fantasma in utroque lumine movat et intellectus materialis movet, ita ut suum movet intelligere fit ab intelligibili et intellectu.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"We are joined by the material intellect and, through it, by the intellect that contemplates or speculates, which Averroes called contrary. Therefore, intelligence is threefold. There is one continuity that continues for us the generative and corruptible powers, like the powers of poets and the senses; and this continuity comes from generation. The second continuity is that which continues for us the material intellect and comes from the creator. The third continuity is that which continues for us the perfected material intellect. The second perfection is itself the intellect or intelligence, and it supposes the continuity of the material intellect and the contination of the phantasm. In order for there to be intellect, the phantasm must be moved in both lights, and the material intellect must be moved, so that it is able to move itself by being moved by the intelligible and the intellect.\" ea dicta sunt in textu: \"He said that the things which are mixed and intermingled in the text are not arguments against the fact that the intellect is not a body, nor does it have a form in the body. To the second argument, it is said that the intellect is not a body nor is it used in the body, and it is not a form. It is replied that this does not follow. The intellect is not a power in the body in two ways. First, it is not a form in the body, and therefore it does not intelligize that which the intellect is capable of not being in the body. In another way, it is understood that it is not a virtue in the body of whatever kind, for it does not follow the laws of the corporeal forms which govern the organ of the body, and it is not capable of being understood that the intellect is a virtue in the body.\n\nTo the third argument, it is said that the intellect is not one nature, therefore it is not a form of the body. I reply that this is false.\" I. The intellect is not one nature, nor is it limited and fixed in aspect as the direct in the material. From this it follows that the intellect is not a form of the body, but rather that it is the form of such a kind. Forms are certain things that surpass the corporeal nature with great facility and communicate with the material of the body through such forms or the action of these forms. However, certain forms are like the intellectual form, which, on account of its nobility, exceeds the limits of the body and organs and is not entirely included in matter, and on account of its excess, it has the broadest aspect from which no single nature is artulated to the point of being cognizable, such as potential visible or audible forms.\n\nRegarding your argument that there are infinites, it is said that there is no such thing. Although we can understand infinites, they are not. modo intellectus limitatus intelligit ea simul sed successeively. Est etiam intellectus possibilis de se nudus ab his intellectuis quod in precedentibus intellectus possibilis de se nichil est eorum que est ante intelligere. Hoc autem arguit infinitas quod intellectus possibilis sit substantia separata vel est in confino vel orizonte formae corporali et substantiarum separarum sicut onus est supra.\n\nQuoniam aute aliud magnitudo hic signat quinque quod debebit declarari circa intellectum possibilem. Ostensum est enim quod intellectus noster est possibilis. Secundo ostensum est quod est immixtus. Tertio quod non est una natura. Quarto quod est locus specierum. Quinto hic dato quod intellectus est potentia discernens inter obiem proprium et obiectum aliarum potentiarum inferiorum.\n\nAd evidenciam huius sententiae phi notandum est quod tota sententia phi fundatur super veritate quattuor propositionum. Prima veritas quid differt omni re materiali, quiditas et participans ipsum esse. Quiditas et in dividuuper participans vocatur em, hic est quiditatui participans autem ipsum vocatur ipsum indut duu Ratio. Quare in rebus materialibus differt quiditas, cuius quiditas sive quiditas et participans quiditate est, in habentibus materialibus multa individua pnt participatio quiditate. In hoc materia quiditas et aliquid additu quiditati, quod additu facit, possit multiplicari ipsum quiditas. Quod dicimus, albedo de se una est formalitas. Alba autem sunt multa, ipsum autem albu vocat quid compositum ex quiditate albedinum et aliquo addito quiditati, cuis additi multiplicationem multiplicatur albedo. Diximus quod humanitas una forma est que potest reperiri in multis suppositis, que supposita participante quiditate multiplicantur, dividis in materia ad quorum multiplicatione multiplicatur. quiditas & in this quiddity, many participations are found, therefore, this quiddity differs from any participator. If quiddity, that is, human nature, does not depart from this participator in sort, it cannot participate in it except by the sort of the one whose contrary is supposed. For what can participate in many things differs and therefore. And the same reasoning can be used to prove that quiddity differs from any other participator. Another way to prove this is as follows. Quiddity signifies the very form or having the very quiddity, but a participator signifies something added to the quiddity itself. A participator, however, signifies the whole. Quiddity signifies \"is.\" Therefore, just as substance and accident differ, so does quiddity and the quiddity of what is in possessors. This is the reason why nature placed it that in substantial forms there is no difference between quiddity and the quiddity of what is in them. substancie separate sunt pure forme. pura aute\u0304 forma est pura quiditas pura aute\u0304 quidi\u00a6tas no\u0304 est nisi ipsa quiditas & ipsa forma no\u0304 est nisi dare aliquid addi\u00a6tu\u0304 quiditati & forme.

I will attempt to correct the errors while preserving the original meaning as much as possible.\n\ndcme est differentia quiditatis in eis et cuius quiditas res aute mathematicis coerentiae quia consequentiae quiditates et cuius ea quiditas. Hoc autem propter hoc consequentiae materiae intelligibilis quiditas mathematicis participet per ipsum, quia participet a multis. Declarat enim in prima posita Exemplum rectitudo quae da quiditates mathematicas quae quiditates coerentiae intelligibilis. Ite, continuat rectitudo quae concernit continuum, ita potest multiplicari diu et participari multis continuis et participibus continuis. Ex quo sequitur quod quae participant. Quia ipsuma rectitudo participabile est a multis. Nullum enim participans quiditatem addit, propter quod additum differt ab ipso quiditate. De rebus autem quae sunt inter participans quiditate et ipsum quidem in natura, Phusis in larre qua dicit quod aliud est aqua et aquae accipiens per. aque is this participation in the very substance of water, understanding the substance itself. About the difference, however, between substance and participatory substance in things, the philosopher speaks in De materia when he says that something else is magnitude that participates in substance, and that substance is magnitude and that very substance is in the participatory substance. The third proposition and the third truth is that although there is a difference between substance and participatory substance in some things, this is not the case in all things. In forms that are separate from matter, there is no such difference, because a pure form is not a form and consequently there is no difference there, for if there were a difference, it would add something to the form and therefore would not be a pure form. Contrarily, this which is between substance and participatory substance goes only as far as material things, although substance does differ from participatory substance. Substance is not what it is in the substance of things. in infinitum. We understand that the very essence (quod) differs from the particular thing from which it is abstracted. It is not necessary (quod) that the common (communis) is common and the particular (perticulare) is perticular, nor are they so in infinitum. But because these two things, which are between quiddity and having quiddity somewhere, limit the truth of this proposition. The truth of this proposition teaches us that what is called phus, when he said that the same is flesh and the essence of flesh, as if he were saying, although the essence and having essence differ, this difference does not go into infinitum, nor does the essence of flesh need to have another essence except perhaps by the grace of matter itself, nor is it necessary (oportet) that the essence of essence is an essence. Therefore, in the essence of flesh, there is no difference between flesh and to be flesh. Anyone who participates in the essence of flesh differs not at all. Elsewhere it can be said (quod) that through flesh is understood the vitality that is in substantial things, in which there is no difference and whose essence it is. As already said, and therefore Phus says in the book that in some things, scroz. \"The same is the matter, that is, flesh and the essence of flesh is that which is the quiddity. The fourth truth and fourth proposition is that in material things, quiddity and having quiddity differ. The individual is apprehended through the sensible potency. Quiddity is apprehended through the intellectual potency, which the intellectual potency apprehends quiddity as if it turns upon itself and assimilates to the rotating line. In the rotating line, the end returns to the subject, similarly in the intellect. In the intellect, it should receive quiddity from the phantasm as if it flows out from itself towards phantasms and extracts quiddity from the phantasm as if it revolves around itself and through this it is clear that this mode of speaking is false, that the intellect follows the rotating line. In another way, quiddity or having quiddity can be apprehended and the difference between these two is apprehended through a single potency.\" It is impossible for any power to apprehend a drama between the two extremes unless it apprehends those two extremes. This power, therefore, which apprehends the difference between substance and the participle of substance, is the intellectual power. And so the intellectual power apprehends that which is proper to itself, the substance, and that which is of the inferior powers, indivisible, and this was what had to be declared, that is, the power of the intellectual faculty distinguishes between the object that is proper to it and the object of other powers, between substance and the indivisible. It receives and knows the individual, taking some reflection to the sense. Let us imagine that the object of the intellect is being as it is under the intellectual light. Being under intellectual light is being of the intention and in the concept. Being of the intention and in the concept abstracts from existence in effect and comprehends being abstracting from this or that. Intelligent beings regulate wealth itself towards that phantasm or individual whose intelligence perceives its very nature, not this or that, as in the first mode. But in this or that, these truths are seen in the letter in which the philosopher speaks the four truths. For the first supposes that there is a difference in both material and mathematical things, as was said in the first proposition, regarding natural things and regarding mathematical things. Secondly, he says that this difference, which is between substance and having substance, is not in all things and not in infinity, as it was in the third proposition. Not in all things. Thirdly, in natural things, an individual having substance is known through another potentiality. For through the same potentiality of sense perception and the same potentiality of intellect, the difference between them is perceived, as was said in the fourth proposition there. Or otherwise. In the fourth division, he says this. idem quod dcmet est de rebus naturalibus, non mathematicis, quod vel alia potencia cognoscit quiditas et hoc idem potentia cognoscitur utroque quodque innuebatur in quarta propositione ibi. In his Quaedam ergo ad primum dicit quod aliud est magnitudo, id est individuum participans quiditatem magnitudinis, et aliud est esse magnitudinis, id est participatum quiditas, et hoc ad res mathematicas. Aliud est aqua, id est individuum participans quiditatem aquae, et aliud est esse aquae, id est ipsa participata quiditas, et hoc ad res naturales. Notandum est quod id quod hic philosophus dixit, alii consuetudine verba planiora dicebant. Dicentes enim in rebus materialibus, sive naturalibus sive mathematicis, differt quod est et quo est, id est differt ipsum formalitas quod est aliquid, ipsum enim formalitas est quod est aliquid ipsum, individuum. ipsam formalitate\u0304 eo modo quo di\u00a6cimus in rebus mathematicis {quod} dif\u00a6fert rectitudo tan{quam} quo & rectu\u0304 ta\u0304\u00a6{quam} quod est {per} ipsam rectitudine\u0304. eci\u00a6am in naturalibus dicimus{quod} dif\u2223fert humanitas quod est quo & hic homo quod est {per} ipsam humanita\u2223tem.

Hic carnem acipit pro vitalitate separatarum, manifestans simplicia quasidam, quasi diceret idem est vitalitas in rebus separatis a materia et id cuius est vitalitas. Vel sic legatur littera et credo quod magis ad propositum. Quia satis extraneum est per carnem intelligere substantias separatas. Ita draa est quod draa est inter quidditate et humana quidditate. Sed hoc non est in omnibus. Quare draa non videtur in infinitum, quor in quiddatibus idem est caro et humana quidditas et carnis esse. I.e. ipsa quidditas. Quod non est necessarium semper quidditas sit quidditas. Ita semper draa humanae quidditas et quiddatum commemoratum in passu isto anima per unam virtutem scilicet per virtutem intellectualem apprehendit alienam inter formam et individuam que virtus est una substantia tamen diversa. The disposition is a matter of diversity. Because virtue itself assumes a form of its own. An individual, however, apprehends it through the sense. This may be what the philosopher wanted to say in writing. For just as a line extends to a circumflex, so does potentiality know its quiddity to itself. Knowing is an individual, just as the same line can be both extended and curved, so the same potentiality is that which apprehends quiddity and individuality varied. From this, Themistius says that the same line is both extended and curved, but it has a different disposition. Similarly, the intellect, when it apprehends a composite body and contemplates its own form, is assimilated to things that are contemplated, but it is not the same as a straight line or a curved one. It becomes one in some way as if it were a dual matter that is contemplated along with its form.\n\nNote that the line mentioned above can be read differently as a sense, that an individual of flesh knows. In this text, the Latin language is used, and there are some irregularities that need to be addressed to make it perfectly readable. I will translate it into modern English while preserving the original content as much as possible.\n\nThe cleaned text is:\n\nIn the first place, the sensitive potency of the soul recognizes the essence of another and itself, that is, another distinct power, which is extended and phantasmal, bending back to itself, abstracting the essence from the phantasm and considering it, either for this or for that reason. And so, we have two ways of interpreting the line: the abstracted essence moves the intellect, and this is a straight line. The intellect, moved, bends back to the sense so that it may know the individual, and this is a curved line. The intellectual power, in the second way of interpreting, extends itself to the phantasm, abstracting the essence from the individual and bending it back to itself in the curved line.\n\nFurthermore, when it says \"again in these,\" it shows that the same thing can be said about the material in mathematical things as about natural things concerning the sensible matter.\n\nTo make this clear. notandum est quod triplex convenientia est inter res naturales et res mathematicas. Prima convenientia est quod, sicut res naturales concernunt materiam sensibilem, ita res mathematicae concernunt materiam intelligibilem. Hoc convenientiam ponit in prima dicens quod in his que abstractione sunt, i.e. rebus mathematicis, abstrahunt a materia sensibili. Rectum est sicut simile: sicut simile concernit materiam sensibilem in naturalibus, ita rectum concernit materiam intelligibilem in mathematicis. Rectum enim est cum contiuo. I.e. rectum concernit centrum quod est materia intelligibilis. Secunda convenientia est inter res naturales et res mathematicas quia in rebus naturalibus propter convenientiam materie sensibili durat quiditas et hoc quoditate. Hoc convenientiam dat intelligere physicam in prima dicens quod quod quid erat esse, i.e. quiditas, est alta in rebus naturalibus ab eo cuius est. Est autem alta in mathematicis ita quod alta ea. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between substance and duality in both natural and mathematical things, using the philosophy of Plato. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"recte quiditas et rectum. Ipsa quiditatem participans, quiditas recti tunc dualitas, quod dualitas dr\u0101t a participate dualitate. Phus more Platonico loquitur. Plato enim ponit quod unum substantiae sunt res mathematicarum, unitas substatia puncti, et dualitas substatia lineae recte. Si ita esset, differret dualitas quidditas et continuum, cuius est quidditas, sicut dicit Phus in lr\u0101.\n\nTertia conveniencia inter res naturales et mathematicas est, quia in rebus naturalibus propter dram que est inter quidditatem et idividuum per aliam potentiam cognoscitur quidditas et per aliam individuum vel per eandem. Ita eadem ratione propter differentiam que est in rebus mathematicis per aliam potentiam cognoscitur idividuum et quidditas. Vel per eadem aliter se ipsis cognoscitur. Et hanc convenienciam dat intelligere Phus in lr\u0101, dicens quod altero:\n\n'Altero quidem quidditas et idividuum, sed altero idem et idem.' \"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"Rightness is the participation of substance and rightness itself. The substance of rightness then becomes duality, because duality is derived from the participation of duality. Phus speaks in the Platonic manner. For Plato posits that the one is the substance of mathematical things, the unity being the substance of a point, and duality the substance of a line. If this were so, duality would differ from quiddity and the continuum, which has quiddity, as Phus says in lr\u0101.\n\nThe third agreement between natural and mathematical things is that in natural things, because of the drama that exists between quiddity and the idividuum through another power, quiddity is cognized through another and the idividuum is cognized through another or through the same. In the same way, through another difference in mathematical things, the idividuum and quiddity are cognized. Or they are cognized in the same way by themselves. And this agreement is made clear by Phus in lr\u0101, saying to the other:\n\n'Quiddity and the idividuum are different things, but the same and the same.' \" The text describes the distinction between two kinds of potency and their respective natures in mathematical things. Through the same potency, it indicates whether they differ in disposition and are completely separate from matter, as things that are separate from matter can only be perceived by the intellect. However, those that are separate by reason, like mathematical things, are understood without sensible matter or intelligible matter. Some may question whether the intellect apprehends a drama between quiddity and that which has quiddity. It seems not. The comprehension of the diversity between two objects of two potencies is not attributed to the inferior potency but to the common one. Similarly, the comprehension of diversity between the sensible intention and the object outside of it is not attributed to the sensible intention but to the common one. The same mode of comprehension is attributed to the sense of perception, not to the imaginative power itself, but to the superior cognitive power. Therefore, the same mode of comprehension is not attributed to the material intellect, but to the superior intellectual power.\n\nOn the contrary, it is said that, in relation to this question, Aristotle introduces the concept of the \"material intellect\" for several reasons and on various grounds. These reasons will become clear when they are examined.\n\nThe first reason is that, as some maintain, imagination is itself a part of the intellect. This opinion is held by many, as the commentator notes, because imagination, like the sensible, moves and is moved by the intellect. Since the sensible is related to the sense in the same way that imagination is related to the intellect, this opinion is rejected by nature. For the intellect apprehends an universal intention, but this is not apprehended by the material intellect. The imagination is a particle of intention. Therefore, the commentator must determine if intentions are diverse virtues, for the intellect is not an imaginative virtue or the apprehension of the imaginative virtue is a sensible impression. The second reason and second cause why this is so is that the common sense can bring about a convergence between the common sense and the intellect. Just as the common sense, which is one power that perceives diversity in its own right, so too does the intellect. And the commentator understands this likeness between the two. When one perceives alterity between two, it is necessary that it be one and the same in some way, and this is the disposition of the intellect in comprehending alterity, which is between the formal and the individual. The individual, however, comprehends alterity between itself and others through the disposition that distinguishes them, just as the common sense perceives alterity between sensibles through disposition. The third part introduces the concept that the object of perception is not the same as the thing perceived itself, but rather the intellect abstracts it from this perception or that one, or from this individual or that. And therefore the intellect rules over the senses. The fourth reason for the introduction of this chapter is to show that some forms must give their form to another. And these forms are in sensible or intelligible matter. Therefore these forms give their form to another, because what each thing is, gives itself to that to which it belongs. And so what belongs to one thing is other than it. It gives its intellect to another and in such forms the intellect is due to another. Therefore there is an exit and reflection in the intellect regarding such forms. Which Aristotle called an extended and reflected line. For natural forms must give their form to sensibles. And therefore the intellect in these forms is due to another. intellecti\u00a6one earum quasi egreditur ad sen\u2223sibilia. Regirat antem ad seipsum dum quiditates tales trahit a sen\u00a6sibilibus. forme autem siue quidi\u2223tates mathematice intellectum suu\u0304 debent imaginantibus et ideo intel\u2223lectus in intellectio\u0304e ea{rum} que egre\u00a6ditur ad imaginabilia regirat aute\u0304 ad seipsum quasi per linea\u0304 flexam qua\u0304do quiditatem mathematicam trahit ab ipsis imaginanti{bus}.

For if the senses recognize an intended sensation, the intellect recognizes the universal intention. Therefore, necessarily, there is required another superior power that knows the relation between the apprehended intention and the universal one, which follows that it would mean going into infinity in the virtues. That superior power has an intention of its own for which it apprehends. Therefore, I ask what power it is that apprehends the relation between the apprehended intention and the intention from the intellect. If it is necessarily required that a superior power gives another superior power and thus goes into infinity, then this insipidity is posited in the intellect as possible, and because it is so, the possible intellect cognizes the thing. inter id quod est proprium est et id quod est proprium alienarum potentiaum. Nec quisquam dicere potest, hoc cognoscitur ab intellectu agente intellectui agenti non attributur operis comprehensionis, quod reducitur ad genus passionum. Sed sibi attributur operis abstractiois, quod reducitur ad genus actionis, ut ostendit infra. Et sic apparuit quod quaerebatur, necessest quod quod qua non est simile de intellectu et alis potentiais, quia aliae potentiae possunt habere aliam potentiam apprehensionem superiorem. Intellectus autem non est suprema potentia apprehensiva et cetera.\n\nObitabit utique aliquis. Postquam physica ostendit proprietates intellectus possibilis, in parte ista movet quasdam dubitationes circa prius determinata et duo facit, quia primo movet duas dubitationes. Secundo eas solvet ibi. Aut pati quidem. Prima dubitatio oritur ex hoc, quod dictum est ex precedentibus, quod intellectus intelligit. Arguit:\n\n(Translation:\n\nIt is proper to the individual and what is proper to others' powers. No one can say that this is known to the active intellect by the intellect acting, nor is it attributed to the work of comprehension when it is reduced to the genus of passions. But it is attributed to the work of abstraction when it is reduced to the genus of actions, as will be shown below. And thus it is clear that what was being sought was necessary, because what is not similar to intellect and other powers is capable of having a higher power of apprehension. The intellect, however, is not the highest power of apprehension and so on.\n\nObviously, someone will die. After physics has shown the properties of the possible intellect, in this part it raises some doubts about what was previously determined and it makes two things, because first it moves two doubts. Secondly, it solves them there. Let us endure it. The first doubt arises from this, that it was said from the preceding that the intellect understands. It argues:) The intellectual philosopher holds that to understand is to suffer, but the intellect does not suffer because understanding requires matter in the patient which is not in the intellect, which is simple and unchangeable. Therefore, the intellect does not allow this argument to be drawn from the letter. The letter clearly states this. If the intellect is simple and impassable and has nothing in common with any material principle, as Anaxagoras held, one may wonder how the intellect understands. If understanding is a kind of suffering, then it cannot be in the intellect because suffering implies a common matter acting upon both agent and patient. But that which suffers is matter, which is not in the intellect. Therefore, the question arises from this, for the intellect, when it is in act, understands itself, and the philosopher asks how this is possible. This text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to be discussing philosophical concepts related to the nature of the self and abstract forms. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"evidently, a letter is needed regarding this doubt, which can take two forms. The first way to form a judgment is this: if the intellect understands itself as something material or understands other things as itself: but which is impossible. Therefore, it does not understand itself - or rather, it is unclear whether it is impossible. If, however, the intellect understands itself as something material, then other things understand themselves as abstract, as declared in the previous chapter. Therefore, it understands itself as an abstract form separated from matter. But every abstract form separated from matter is a mixed form. Its contrary has been shown above. If, on the other hand, the intellect understands other things as itself, since it is separated from matter, then other separated things are also understood. Forms that are separate and exist in themselves are intelligible. Therefore, material forms are intelligible.\" The given text appears to be written in an old form of Latin script, with some errors and abbreviations. I will attempt to clean and translate it into modern English as faithfully as possible to the original content.\n\nmateria. Secundus modus formandi dubitationem sequitur physicam in laras aut iste modus ex precedentibus capiol. Ibi enim est quod materialibus rebus, siuae sint res naturales siuae res mathematicas, aliud est quiditas et individua, ideo aliud est quod accipitur ab intellectu, scilicet quiditas, et aliud relinquitur, scilicet individuum. Ex quo sequitur quod materiales res intelligantur quoddam aliud, quod quasi trahitur et abstrahitur ab ipso individuo materiali a quo differt. Et hoc formatur dubitatio. Si intellectus est intelligibilis aut est intellectualis, an sit idem an aliud, id est an sit aliam intentionem abstractam ab ipso. Aut enim intellectus est intellectualis aliud, id est ut est in rebus naturalibus. Sed primus modus et secundus est impossibilis, ergo non est intellectualis.\n\nQuod autem praemissum sit impossibile, quia si intellectus sit intellectualis idem, sequitur quod alia intelligibilia sint etiam intelligibilia idem et non idem. \"The intelligible is one reason, but the sensible is also intelligible, therefore there is intellect for the intelligibles. Not every sensible thing is intelligible, but the impossibility follows in no other way. If something is not intelligible in this way, it speaks of the form mixed with matter, which is impossible. There is more doubt if the intellect itself is intelligible, for it seems that it is not. But if this is not the case, then it follows that the intellect is intelligible. This follows if the intellect is intelligible, not something else but itself. If it follows that something else inherits intellect from the intellect, then it will be intelligible because it has one species, that is, one reason, in the intellect and in other things. Or it may have something mixed in it that makes it intelligible, and it will have a mixed form abstracted from itself. Or it may endure the doubt.\" Et ipse intellectus est solutio prima hoc est quod materia arguit proprie acceptum et improprie acceptum. Patet enim quod improprie acceptum materiam non arguit, et hoc est quod patet in datum. Patet enim intellectus prius inpotentia ad intelligibilia et nichil est eorum in actu antequam intelligat. Hoc est improprie pati, quia tale pati non est nisi recipere et perfici. In intellectu possibili est sicut in tabula in qua nichil est depictum. Tabula enim quae nichil est depicta est potentia ad receptionem et perfectionem. Et hoc est potentia passiva intellectus possibilis. De duplici potentia ista dicta, superior et inferior, recepitio datae est equivoca inter eis. The text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to discuss philosophical concepts. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"intelligibilibus et in rebus materialibus. Diversitas huius istius interni receptionis, quae est in intellectu, a receptione, quae est in rebus materialibus, est res ad quam ducit dubitatio. Hoc est, non est opinio quod materia prima non sit causa receptionis, sed causa transmutabilis receptionis est ipsa receptio huius singularis. Causa autem receptionis similiter est haec natura intellectualis. Ideo, phus, videns hanc duplice natura, dixit quod passio dicitur duobus modis. Est enim passio proprie accepta et haec passio sequitur materiam, passio improprie accepta et haec sequit intellectum possibilem.\n\nEt ipse intellectus soluit secundam pugnacionem et duo facit. Primo soluit dubitationem. Secundo soluit ad objectionem iam factam ibi. Non autem semper. Ad evidencia primi notandum est quod haec dubitatio potest solvi duobus modis. Et hos duos modos potest legi litera. Prima soluitionis modus est aliquorum moderatorum qui in sui. \" solution three suppose. They suppose firstly that nothing proceeds from an entity in potentiality as it is in potentiality. For acting is an secondary act that necessarily assumes the primary act, which is the form. Secondly, they suppose that the possible intellect is an entity in potentiality. For it holds the last degree in intelligibles, and as was said before, the possible intellect holds a place among intelligibles like matter. If, however, it is such that the possible intellect is an entity in potentiality, it follows, according to the first principle, that it does not understand except through an alien act. Therefore, every intelligible is intelligible through its form. The third principle they suppose is that the intelligible, or rather the reason for understanding separated from matter, is the same as the intellect itself, as perfection is the same as its subject. For although a stone is not identical with the intellect, yet the concept of a stone, because it appears separated from matter, appears to be the same as the intellect itself, which perfects it. And this is because what is customarily said. iu separatus a materia idem est intelligibile et intellectus. From this, since a concept of this kind is separated from matter, it is the same as the intellect itself, because the intellect, when it acts, acts with respect to the intelligible and thus is able to understand other things and consequently understands itself. Because in understanding other things, it turns its attention to be the subject of the intelligible. From this foundation, it follows that the intellect understands itself as other intelligible things do, for just as other intelligible things are understood through a concept that is in act, so through the same intellect it understands itself. I ponder that it is the subject of the intelligible and consequently understands and itself in this way, and for this reason the intellect is called intelligible, just as other intelligible things are, through the species of intelligibles which are separate from matter and therefore are the same as the intellect itself. In separating them from matter, the intellect and what is in intellect are the same. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of knowledge and the role of the intellect. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"intelligitur id ea ratio intelligendi et quae ratio est eaede perfectio perfectibili. ideo poteris ipsum intellectum ducere in cognitione illorum quorum est ratio. secundo in cognitione sui. ut declaratum est in fundamentis predicis. In seipso etiam a materia idem est scientia speculativa, i.e. ratio speculandi et ipsum speculatum, i.e. intellectus speculares.

Omnis aute\u0304 substantia est sic elevatum, intelligens ex quibusdam, quod intellectus quidditative sibi largitur, potest intelligi et quod super se operationem a materia ita sit, ut res in conceptu largitur rationem intelligibilem, separatio autem rei in intellectu ab intellectu est, quod quidquid in effectu separatum a materia non indiget intellectu abstrahente. The intellectual agent requires forms material, which are not separate in effect, to act and abstract. Whether this is true elsewhere is uncertain. However, it seems that in the effect, forms abstracted from matter are intelligible and intelligible, and this is what is meant: in separate forms from matter, intellect and what is intelligible are the same. The third foundation is that the intellect can cognize whether cognition is and what cognition is, if it is cognition of a quiddity. The first kind of cognition comes about through an act, for it argues that it is cognition because it argues that it is itself. However, the second kind of cognition does not become actual unless the intellect first cognizes the intentions of others, and as the first mode of speaking says. The reason why it cannot become actual towards its own intentions unless it precedes them is:\n\n(Note: This text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be discussing philosophical concepts related to cognition and the intellect. I have made some corrections to the text based on my understanding of Latin grammar and syntax, but I have tried to be as faithful as possible to the original content.)\n\nintellectus agens formas materiales requiritur ad abstractendum; haec autem non sunt separatae in effectu; utrum hoc verum sit alibi pateat, hoc tamen videtur: quia formae elevarte a materia in effectu ratio intelligibilis et intelligibilis sunt, et hoc idem est intellectus et quod intelligitur. Tertium fundamen: intellectus potest cognoscere si cognitio est et quid est cognitio, si est cognitio quidditiva. In cognitionem primam venit per actum, enim se intelligere arguit se esse cognitionem; cognitio autem secunda non potest fieri nisi prius cognoscit intentiones alienas, et hoc secundum primum modum loquendi. Ratio autem quare non potest fieri ad intentiones suas nisi praecedat: The soul does not have a ghost when it does not have a ghost stirred by something known to itself. It is true that the nature of the physical world in second place becomes an object of the soul's contemplation, which is what the soul is, an organic power having the ability to sustain life. From these foundations, it is clear that the letter says that the intellect is intelligible just as the intelligible things are. That is, the intellect is intelligible through its own intention, as are other intelligible things. However, other intelligible things are intelligible to us through a different reason and not through the reason of their intelligibility and not through their intelligibility itself. The intellect, or rather the reason in us, is the same as the intelligible and intelligent thing in which it is active. Or, in the same way, in things that are without matter, the same is knowledge, the speculative intellect, and the one who is being speculated upon. Or, in the same way, speculative knowledge is the intellect that is actualized from the possible. Therefore, Cuius. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of intellect and perception. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"dicit. Non semper respondet ad quodcumque argumentum, quod factum fuisset supra. Dicebant emim sic. Si intellectus est intelligibilis sicut alia, sequitur quod sicut alia non intelligit quod non intelligit. vel sequitur quod si intellectus intellectus est. Quod ecia alia intelligebat. Ad hoc argumentum respondet physica sic quod non est simile quid intellectus intencio intellecta forma materialia comprehensa ad illud cuius est in effectu. Est immersa infra potentiam materiae ab obumbraturo. Deficit autem a lumine intellectus et sic non est ratio intelligendi. Intentio autem quidditiva intellectus comprehensa ad id cuius est elata supra potentiam materiae illi laret ratione intelligendis. Hoc est quod dicit, quod consideranda est canonicum semper intelligendi, scilicet consideranda est causa propter quam nihil omne intelligibile in his materiis est potentia. Est immersum infra potentiam materiae et illis rebus materialibus, non inheret intellectus ita.\" \"Although it is understood that not everything which is not intelligible is without intellect and potentiality. It is necessary to note that this is not always the case. It can be introduced otherwise than it has been. It can be introduced as the reason for something. It is not the case that in those things which are without matter, intellect is the same as that which intellects and renders form to these things. And touch is not that in them which is separated from matter, that which is intelligible. Since every nature exists after form has been determined, it shows that intellect is possible in the middle between the intelligible. And it is both mixed with and not mixed with them, and it is the place of species and the discriminator between objects.\" The text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to be discussing philosophical concepts. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"privet et obiectu alienorum potentiarum. Postquam autem posuerit quasdam dubitationes circa ipsum intellectum possibilem, in pertinax ista determinat de intellectu agente, quod intellectus possibilis arguit agente. Ita quod si est dare possibile est dare agente. Et hic ipse intellectus. Primo ergo probat quod intellectus possibilis arguit actuem. Ad cuius evidencia notandum est quod ratio philosophiae fundatur supra veritatem trium propositionum. Prima propositio est quod ens in potentia inquantum tale se ipsum ad actum ducit, idem idem esse. Quod idem.\" actu and potencia. Therefore, the intellect as a possible being can be in potencia, but it cannot draw itself out to actu. Instead, that which is reduced from another is what is in potencia and cannot be reduced to actu by anything existing in potencia. The reason for this is that what is in potencia is such that it is more disposed to receive than to act, and to be reduced and not to reduce itself, since every potencia strives as much as possible to be reduced by another. The possible intellect is a being in potencia. Therefore, that which reduces it must be something that is not in potencia. However, it is more in actu.\n\nThe third proposition is that in which phus is founded, that the genus of being is complex if it is both corporeal and spiritual, and that, as in the first kind of prime matter, the agent argues that matter is in potencia, since it cannot draw itself out to act but must be brought out by the agent. In the second kind of genus, the possible intellect is a being in potencia, which cannot draw itself out to act. actuum et ideo indiget intellectus agente ipsum, deducens ita, quod in esse spirituali dabimus te intellegentiae similem materiae et hoc est intellectus possibilis.

Et hoc est ipse intellectus speculativus, sive sit speculatio habitualis sive actualis.

Quasi enim dicat intellectus possibilis propter suam possibilitatem non est habitus. Intellectus autem agens propter suam activitatem est habitus. Et non solum est habitus. Sed est lumen. Sicut enim lumen extra facit quodammodo colores in potencia colorem in actu, ita intellectus agens facit ipsa intelligibilia actu que prius erant potencia intelligibilia. Notandum quod ratio phi in. \"Braquic: Matter receives simile intelligence. Therefore, the agent argues. Noting that passive and active potentialities look at whatever is below passive potentiality as if it is below active potentiality in acting and making. And this is so because active and passive potentialities consider themselves servant and successor. However, passive potentiality is not such in relation to the active, as declared in five metaphysics, and whatever is below passive potentiality is under some mode or end below the porous. Whatever is below passive potentiality in being made is also below active potentiality in doing. And this physical consideration led him to say, in the third, that if one has the idea of what is to be made, one has the idea of making it. Therefore, he who has the intellect puts forth four conditions of this intellect. It is the first condition that it is perceivable. The second, that it is impassible. The third, that it is mixed, i.e., composed of natures.\" The text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical or theological passage. Here is the cleaned text:\n\ncorporealis neque alligatus organo corporali, et in his tres conditiones convenit intellectus cum sensibus aetatis cum intellectum possibilem intelligitur. Quarta autem conditio eiusdem intellectus est, quod sit in actu sua subtilis in quo durat apud possibilem, id est in potentia. Fit autem in actu per intellectus intentiones, quod autem hae conditiones sint in intellectu agente, parit talem rationem. Agens est honorabilis patienti. Et principium activum est honorabilius materiae. Sed intellectus agens comparatur ad possibilem sicut agens ad materiam. Sicut declaratum est, ergo intellectus agens est nobilior possibili. Si autem ita est, tunc oportet quod conditiones nobiles, que sunt in intellectu possibili, multo magis sint in agente et plurae alias nobiliores. Sed intellectus possibilis est separatus impossibili passione proprie accepta, et ideo intellectus agens hoc habet conditiones et ultra hoc quod sua subtilis sit in actu. Quod autem agens agit, hoc declaratum est. The material agent is in the act of material that is in potential. Nobility does not act with respect to matter through the act, but rather for the sake of clarity, someone might ask why this is so. The intellect, being possible, necessarily argues against the agent if it does not see that it can be completed with a given mover and motion. The intellective operation can be completed, but not by the form of the imagined thing and the intellect alone. Rather, the intellect, acting against these things that are in the text, holds that according to the Decree of the Philosopher, it is necessary to posit an acting intellect. It remains for us to solve the difficulty raised in arguing that the material intellect suffices for the reception of forms and the possible intellect.\n\nRegarding this question, it is to be noted that the proportion of the material intellect to the intelligible forms is not the same as the proportion of the mobile to the mover. Intelligible forms do not suffice for extracting the intellect. material in potential acts. And this, for the most part, imagine you do not move anything in potential, unless in potential it is sufficient to move the intellect. Therefore, there was one who was witty, {who} overflowed with intelligence, age. But if this was not sufficient to move the intellect, it requires an intelligent agent who distributes forms to the imagined forms, {which} moves the intellect into material act. This, in turn, does not give anything else but to make the intellects actual after they were potential. Let us imagine that being in potential is like being in potential, it does not move itself. But if it moves, {which} reduces it to act. From this it follows that potential intellect does not move potential intellect, but if it should move, {which} it should become actual intellect. Therefore, a formed image will not move the intellect unless it becomes actual. This happens through the action of the intellect. Secondly, let us imagine that a diversified receiver diversifies the reception and motion, and that motion is diversified. Nature The authentic recepients that exist in the intellect's potential are diverse from the natural recepients that are in the inferior potentials. The potential intellect, which receives from an object, is distinguished from the inferior potentials and therefore what is received by the potential intellect and moves it should be diverse from what is received in other potentials and from the mover itself. The mover, however, is intention, individual and sensed or imagined. If this intention should move the potential intellect, it follows that it is drawn from the intellect. Thirdly, we imagine that if the diverse form of the receiver is the cause more of matter than of the recipient, then the diversity of the receiver is ultimately for the sake of the nature of the receiver. But that the diversity of the receiver is effectively caused by the diversity of the receivers is not true. And in the same way, the diversity of the mover can be ordered to the diversity of the movable. But that the diversity of the mover is effectively the diversity of the movable is not true. However, the intention intellectually conceived The text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to discuss the relationship between intellect, imagination, and formed images. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nrecepta in intellectu et movens ipsum sit diversum movens a formis imaginatis movet imaginationem hanc diversam ratione movendi. Non potest habere ab intellectu possibili quod movet. Quodquidmovens non habet hanc diversitatem a mobili. Ergo ophet quod habeat diversitate ab intellectuale agente, quod largit formas imaginate quod movet in actu intellectuali possibili, et sic est questio. Patet ergo argumentum quod solutum est in corpus questionis.\n\nSecundum quereret aliquis, si posito in intellectu possibili et intellectu agente superfluat forma imaginata. Videtur emim intellectus agens ad intellectum speculativum esse sicut proportio artis ad artificium. Sed ars ponit formas in materia absque eo quod in materia sit aliquid existens de intencione forme. Ergo a simili, intelligibilia agens ponit formas in intellectu possibili absque eo quod in intellectu possibili indigeat aspice formas imaginatas.\n\nAd oppositum est phusis quae. intellige num having origin in a sense and a shape, as sensible things move the sense, so formed images remind us in the potential intellect. To this question it is said that if wine is the same proportion for the art of building and the intellect-forming agent, the formed image would flow over. But it is not at all the same proportion, and therefore it does not flow over. It is not the same proportion even for the comemator of the soul, as the three about the soul in this aforementioned text say, the soul cannot be said to have the same proportion of the intellect-forming agent in the soul as the proportion of art to its work in every way. Art puts a form into the whole matter without anything existing in the matter from the intention of the form before the art made it, and therefore man would not need to comprehend intelligibles through sense or imagination. Moreover, intelligibles reach the material intellect from the intellect-forming agent without this. The intellectual material requires us to consider sensible forms not only because we cannot imagine intentions to be the ones moving the intellectual matter and drawing it out from potentiality to act. If this were the case, there would be no difference between the universal and individual intellect and the intellect would not be of the genus of imaginative virtue. Therefore, it is necessary that the proportion of imagined intentions to the intellect is like the proportion of sensibles to senses, and that another mover be posited to make them move in the material intellect. This is the Comminator Ex whom you have with these words. You have that the intellect does not assimilate itself to art, secondly that the intellectus agens does not suffice without the intentiones imaginate, and thirdly that the intellectus agens bestows the intentiones imaginate to be the motor in act. Let us imagine therefore [what] the intellectus agens is with intellectuality in act but not with determination of intellectuality, and so that intellectuality may be determined. The text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between intention, imagination, and intellect. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nintentionem imaginatam determinet ipsum; intencio autem imaginata haec determinationem non in actu intellectuali, sed intellectuali agente, a quo fit intentio determinata, intellectum possibilem movet et hoc est quod consuevit dicere quod intelligibile unicitur intellectui, sicut determinans determinatum. Intellectus imaginatus et intellectus agents non sunt duo movere respectu intellectus materialis, sed intencio imaginata ab intellectu agente perfecte movet materiale: quare ab eo recipit quod sit motor. Intentionem movet intellectum ad intellectualem determinatam et hoc quia intellectus possibilis indeterminatus et confusus et indeterminatus est distinguet et determinat ab intellectu inconscientiae, quidquid intencio quaedam sit posita ex intellectualitate et intellectu determinato. intellectualis vt is to investigate and argue about this matter, not only about intellect and art. Thirdly, someone may ask whether a certain intellectus ages is a habitus. This is to be said because around this matter, there could be a threefold imagination. The first is that the intellectus who is the principle of a habitus is impossible to imagine, since the intellect who is the principle of habits cannot itself be an intellect that has a habit. Whoever supposes an intellectus who is the principle of habits places some intellecta in actu, through which we come to know principles. If, therefore, intellectus ages supposes some intellecta in actu, it does not make intelligibilia in actu contradictory. Where it is said that intellectus agens omnia facit in actu intelligibilia, it should be noted that what is supposed is not made by the agent. For what is supposed is what is, but what is made is something else. This text appears to be written in a form of old Latin or a Latin alphabet-based shorthand. It is difficult to clean the text without knowing the exact nature of the shorthand or the original language. However, based on the given text, it seems to be discussing the role of intellect and habits in understanding and perceiving things. Here is a possible cleaning of the text:\n\n\"This is not so. If we assume that the intellect is active. Such an intellect is not made virtuous by the intellect acting and does not make all things intelligible in this way. The second imagination is that of the commentator who says \"three things about the soul.\" That which concerns the reason of habits is that the habits are imposed upon us by ourselves and the intellect acting gives the possible intellect the ability to actually understand, whether it is through our own intellect or through the act of understanding. The third imagination is that the intellect acting and the habits and the light. Through various reasons, it is necessary to note that the intellect acting, through its operation, brings fantasies and possible intellects into actuality. Secondly, it gives them the power to move towards actual understanding as if they are imbued and mixed with the light of the agent. And the intellect, through this operation, is called \"three things about the soul\" in such a way that, just as light makes colors visible, so the intellect makes fantasies and possible intellects actual.\" po\u00a6te\u0304cia esse in actu ita {quod} possint moue\u00a6re dyaphonu\u0304\u00b7 ita intellectus age\u0304s fa\u00a6cit inte\u0304ciones in pote\u0304cia intellectas esse in actu ita {quod} recipit eas intelle\u00a6ctus possibilis.

For light is the perfection of the immaterial, so the acting intellect is the perfection of the material intellect. And just as the immaterial moves the immaterial from color and does not receive them unless it illuminates and perfects them through it, so the intellect does not receive intelligibles except for what it perfects and illuminates through it. From whomsoever among you it comes, it is as if the contemplation of the intellect towards the immaterial is like the contemplation of the senses towards the material. But if the intellect were clearer, it would have said so. The intellect contemplates itself towards the possible, just as the corporal light is the natural perfection of the eye, so the perfection of the material intellect is the perfection of the intellect itself, and the respect of material forms towards it is like the respect of colors towards the eye, which moves the intellect with material forms just as colors move the eye. Secondly, from whomsoever it comes. queadmodu dyaphon hraj a luce quod possibilis hraj ab agete quod perfici per intecoes intellcas. Fui aut clarior smas si dixisset sic.

Et sic habitus perficit potenciae hic intellectus perfici possibile. Pote ecia haec. \"In this composition, light is said to be more lux than lume. Thus, light is more perfect than those who shine, who have not been transished. Although the intellect can illuminate the transished, it is more possible for light to illuminate than for the intellect to respond to phantasms and illuminate them, and colors are visible in themselves. If they are visible in themselves, it seems that they move and light gives them the power to move phantasms or they are not visible in themselves but require intelligible things to be perceived. On the contrary, the dark is the opposite. To the question of whether some things are more similar to color than to intellect and respond to phantasms, it is not the case that they are similar in this way, but rather in their mode.\" quides mile est quod comprehension visible in diget in luce, ita quod colors non videtur sine luce, ita quod comprehensio intelligibilis indiget intellectu agente sine quo intenciones intellecte non intelligitur. Tanto aut dissimile est quod colors de se sunt visibiles, nec requiruntur lumen propter colors, sed propter medium. Fantasmas autem de seipso non sunt intellecta. Et ideo propter hoc requiritur intellectus agents. Intellige tamen quod quoddam commentator videtur sentire, quod lumen requiratur propter colors, ut patet in lra praelegata in precedenti questione, in qua dicit quod lumen facit colors in potencia in actu. Hoc autem unum dicit commentator sensiens, sed ut faciat maiorem assimilationem inter lumen extra et intellectum agentem. Vbi advertendum est quod duplex perfectio est: una que largitur motori, quod sit motor et posset movere; et alia que largitur moto vel mobili, quod posset movere et perfici. Et singulam perfectionem respectat. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between intellect and light. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nintellectus agens fantasmatas et alia respicit intellectum possibilem. Largitur enim intellectus agenti, quod sit motivus et quod posset movere. Largitur intellectui possibili, quod posset perfici. Si lumen largiret colori, quod posset monere, et medium siue oculo posset movi et similiter inter lumen et intellectum agente quidem quaedam similitudo sequitur. Ut magis manifestare possit intellectus agens, sed quia lumen non largitur colori, ut movat, sed magis medium, ideo non est uno simile intellectus agens et lumen et per hoc ad questiones et ad argumenta. Quinto quaeret aliquis, ut intellectus agens sit immixus, sicut drusus in larva Dedalus est. Ad cuius evidentia notandum est, quod easdem intentiones intellicet intellectus possibilis, quas aspicit intellectus agens, ut in fieri, intellectus autem agit eas ut in facere. Quanta ea. ergo latitudo intellectus in recipiendo tanta est, intellectus agentis in agendo. Dictum est aut supra quod intellectus possibilis propter latitudinem possibilitatis est immixtus, eadem ratione intellectus ages propter latitudinem activitatis erit immixtus. Intellectus enim forme materiales sunt artate possibilitatis et activitatis, ideo sunt mixtae. Intellectus autem possibilis quod aut formae materiales fieri et intellectus ages quod aut formae materiales facere hoc in maxima latitudine et id non sunt mixta, immersa in materia, sed elevata supra totam ordinem formarum materialium et potenciarum sensitivarum. Quisque vero quaeret, ut intellectus agens sit impassibilis sicut dictum est supra. Ad hoc dico quod intellectus agens dictur impassibilis et magis intellectus possibilis cuuis ratio est quia intellectus sumptus est supra rationem passionis proprie. accept is the transformation and reception of the intellect, but the possible intellect may not have the intention of such transformation from the intention of this reception and perfection. The intellect does not have the intention of this transformation or reception, and therefore it is more distant from the intention of the passion than the possible intellect and is more impassible through its connection. Because the intellect, which does not have the intention of receiving this from the intention of passion, is not in potency for that intention, but rather it is the act of the possible intellect that is the act of understanding and is the potency for itself. Therefore, it does not understand but is the cause of understanding. We should understand that the potency of which is the act is the possible intellect itself. potencia is itself the intelligent agent, and it will not be able to understand unless it hears intelligible sounds. We understand, therefore, that potencia is the act of understanding in which understanding itself exists formally. Understanding, however, is in the active intellect as opposed to the cause, and it is there virtually. In the potential intellect, understanding is possible formally and thus the intellect that is penetrated understands. Thirdly, we understand that the work of the active intellect is reduced to the genus of abstraction, which is the genus of action. Understanding is reduced to the genus of passion, and it is in the potencia that suffers and is not the intelligent agent.\n\nRegarding the seventh point, someone might ask about what is said in the text, that the intellect in act is oppressed. It is a difficult question whether the intellect in act is oppressed by the soul or by the possible intellect, as substance is by substance. Is the intellect in act something of the soul, and does it suffer as substance suffers? And what is it that is not in the intellect in act? The text appears to be in Latin with some missing characters. I will do my best to translate and correct it while maintaining the original content as much as possible.\n\nThe given text reads: \"talem ratione\u0304\u00b7 qd est suba\u0304 ens in actu no\u0304 est aliquid ai\u0304e. {sed} intellcu\u0304s agens est hmo\u0304i qr sicut dr in lr\u0304a.

But the active intellect is like a craftsman in the material world. The active intellect is a substance in actuality, therefore it is not nothing. On the contrary, what is said to be matter where anything can act, there is an agent. In the soul, if there is the possibility of giving intellect, it is necessary to give it to an agent, so that the intellect may produce something and be an intellective artisan. To this question, it must be said that the active intellect, which is called the agent intellect, is the principle from which it derives this intention and the potential intellect, which is called the potential intellect, is the one that produces something in response to this intention. Anaxagoras called the active intellect the ruling intellect, for it separates all things from the chaos that it itself brought about. He also called the same intellect the ruling intellect that commands things to come into existence.\" intellectus intellectus immixtus. Ideo est inimicus ut posset imperare obis. Et hanc intellectum agente cognosci. Intelectus agens potest esse substantia in actu per se subsistens, non quod sit aliiquid animae nostrae. Alia intentio intellectus agens in cuius virtute fit actio intellectualis. Hunc modum acceptandi intelectus agente. Quidam dixerunt intellectus agens se subjicit nobis sicut substantia subjacet. Voluerunt quod intellectus agens quidam intellectus quemdam ipsum ad nos posuisse, sicut videtur, Alexander et Aurora. Vel per influxum formarum intelligibilium ab ipso in nos sicut posuit Avicenna. Sed haec posito repugnat positioni Aristotelis, qui expressis verbis in libris dicit:\n\nThese are the two differences, intellectus agens and intellectus possibilis, which, according to what is said by the philosopher, are in the soul. Observe this position, however, does not agree with reason. \"just as we can perceive intelligible things, which is the operation of the intellect possible for man, and the operation of the intellect acting, which abstracts intelligible ideas, was attributed to it. This is not possible unless there is a formal principle of this action in us. Let us imagine that we perceive intelligible things as reduced to our will, and we can abstract them only if the acting intellect, which is capable of abstracting or irradiating upon phantasms, is not reduced to our power, and thus we do not understand if we will. For just as the power of the sun's light is what it is, potential with regard to what it is, and it is nothing in act with regard to what is before it understands, from this it follows that the power which is annexed to the intellect has a possible existence. Moreover, since the power which is annexed to it is also annexed to sufficiency in its own right, from this sufficiency it follows that the agent intellect has the power to create as if through the possible intellect.\" The text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical or theological discussion. I will translate it into modern English while keeping the original content as faithful as possible.\n\nest imperfecta quia nuda ab omni intelligibili sufficiente in se. Quia licet quod ad intelligibile possibilem nuda ab intelligibili et ab intentionibus speculatis, tamen in virtute luminis potest fieri sub quolibet intelligibili, sicut anima ante intelligere nihil est, ita per intelligere fit quod libet eorum quae sunt. Cum ipsum intelligat in virtute luminis agentis, opere quod in virtute eiusdem luminis fiat quodlibet eorum quae sunt.\n\nAd argumentum in contrariis dicendum est quod intellectus agents non dicitur substantia ens in actu quia fit substantia separata a nobis. Sed quia est alia virtus anime quae propter suam actuitatem potest dici substantia ens in actu. Notandum est enim quod substantia dicitur multis modis. Unum enim modum dicitur substantia ens per se subsistens, et hunc modum intelligis non dicitur substantia. Alio modo dictur substantia quaelibet essencia et quodlibet perfectio. \"as the potential intellect acts upon this [methaphysics]. And it is also called substance, and substance in action is called that which operates to move possible intellect. For supposing that the active intellect does not depart from the possible intellect as substance from substance, as declared in the preceding question [about whether the intellect acts upon the possible intellect as a potentiality upon an potentiality, so that the possible intellect and the active intellect are two potentialities]. On this question, Johannes the grammarian replied [in the third book on the soul] that the possible intellect is reduced to a passive potentiality. The active intellect, however, is reduced to an active potentiality, and because active and passive potentialities are two potentialities, as shown above, he says [that] the intellect of the student is in potentiality and the intellect of the teacher is in act. However, in this there is a deficiency, because he does not say that the intellect of the teacher is the active intellect.\" The virtue, to whom belongs the science, is not the doctor in causing science in the soul of the disciple as the doctor is in causing health. The doctor heals not principally but by administering remedies. Likewise, virtue in him who heals is the principal agent for health. In the same way, the doctor does not act principally for the acquisition of science, but rather the light that is in us acts. Therefore, John the grammarian said it thus. However, some modern scholars hold a different opinion, which we have followed in all the preceding questions. They say that the possible intellect and the active intellect are reduced to two powers that are in the same soul. To make this position clearer, let there be three propositions arranged in order.\n\nThe first proposition is that the possible intellect is capable of reduction to reception. The work of the possible intellect is reduction to abstraction, and to receive implies a power. The passive and abstract power is shown by the ability to detach and abstract. This is followed by the fact that the intellect, which is possible and active, and the agent intellect, are both passive and active, and the agent intellect, as the consequence, is nothing other than the power of receiving these intentions. The second proposition is that the work of abstraction, which is attributed to the agent intellect, is not due to any positive disposition made by the intellect in the phantasms, but because of a certain spiritual or virtual union of the intellect itself with the phantasms. \"Illustrations can be said to represent themselves according to material conditions, not because they are really such without those conditions, but because they are used for the purpose of being immutable, as far as they are immutable in the intellect rather than in material conditions. This is shown by others in the following example: \"Place a thing that is sweet and white by itself, without the presence of a limen, it could not make itself appear white to anyone, no matter how hard they might try, without the presence of the sweetness. But with light present, it could make itself appear white without the presence of sweetness. Then it would be called an abstraction of whiteness from sweetness. It is not because the same thing is really white and sweet. But because the light immutably changes whiteness, not sweetness. Similarly, it should be said about the abstraction that the intellect makes from fantasms. For this abstraction is not a reason for being, but a reason for change, and this is why, even if the quiddity of a thing is present.\" conditionibus materialibus tamen in virtute luminis agentis ita immutat quiditas, quod non immutant ipse conditiones materiales. Nonoque reteruntur nilquis. Utrumque potest aliquo modo salvari, quod intellectus possibilis et agens fuisset una potencia. Ad hoc dicendum est, quod quidam moderni, qui se sustentant verbis Augustini et Boecii, videtur velle salvare intellectus possibilis et agens esse una potencia. Ad hoc autem salvandum ponnt per ordinem tres propositiones. Prima propositio est, quod intelligere est actio manens in agente. Hanc autem propositionem accipiunt a philosophorum quod actiones sunt in duplici modo. Quedam enim sunt actiones quae transunt in externam materiam, qualis est edificatio, et hae sunt subjective in passivo et sunt perfectiora magis passibus quam agenti, eo modo quod dicimus, edificatio magis est perfectio edificabilis quam est edificientis. Aliae autem sunt actiones quae maneant in agente, qualis actio est intelligere, et quia manent in agente, non transunt in externam materiam. agente ideo sunt perfectiones agentis, ideo ipsum agens est possibilis respectu talis actionis. Ex quo sequitur, quod intellectus habet rationem nemo possibilis respectu intellectuisionis quam recipit, ideo idellucus possibilis. Secunda propositio est, quod portio est inter operatio et principium operacionis, quia nulla a quocunque operante fit quecquam operatio, sed a determinato operante fit determinata operatio. Si autem ita est, quod semper ea inter operatio et operante impossibile est, quod operatio vitalis sit a nihilo vivente, vel inter operatio vitalis et principium non vivens nulla est determinata habitudo. Cum ergo intelligere sit operatio vitalis, impossible est quod sit a principio non vivente. Intellegibile autem, sive fantasma est principium non vivens, ergo non est ipsum intellectus, scut positio ponit, quod intellectus est pure passibilis, dicens quod intellectus causat ipsum intellectum et ipsum recipit. ergo dicenduest quod potencia intellectiva causat in seipsa ipsum intellectuem. Est enim potencia intellectiva potens vivere et io causare operante vita et inquam talis potencia dr potencia agens, et sic eadeest potencia que potest seipsum perfici, ages. Tertia propositio et tercium fundamentum est quod sic sibilias ad sum sic habent fantasmas ad intellectum. Sibilias enim movet sum per modum excitacionis et inclinationis. Sibilias enim immutant organa sensuum quibus immutatis ipse sibilias movet seipsum ad actum sensationis. Imaginatur enim isti quod aptitudo est in potencia situa que magnam affinitatem habet cum organo et cuim immutatione facta cuim organo ab ipso sibili. Propter hoc affinitate et similitudine statim facta immutatio immutat ipsum organum ipse sibili excitatur et inclinatur ut se movet ad cognitionem actualem et quod sibilias sic movet sum ideo opere operatur quod sic sunt fantasmas. Intelligent objects move the intellect through the mode of excitation and inclination. The objects of the intellect are in act those that the intellect itself has a natural connection with and an immediate order to it, as is demonstrated in the case of the senses with respect to sensible objects. However, there is a difference between sensible objects and the objects of the intellect: sensible objects do not excite the power of sensation unless through the modification of an organ. But the objects of the intellect excite the intellect not through the modification of any other organ, and therefore this position would be better if it were said thus: \"Just as immutations of organs are to the sense, so are the objects of the intellect to the intellect, and it should be understood that what is meant by the object of the intellect exciting the intellect through the object of the intellect is not an image or idol impressed in the organ of the intellect, but rather the very operation of its power.\" The following text describes the immediate excitation of the intellect by this operation of virtue, leading it to move towards the intelligible in response to the natural aptitude and yodineity present in the intellect itself. This aptitude and yodineity, from which the completion of the act arises, is stirred up in the fantasy, causing the intellect to move towards the completion of the act. To this excitation of the intellect, the intellect does not give another power to the fantasies, regardless of their nobility in the intellect or whether it requires that which moves in the mode of excitation to be nobler because it is moved, but only that the fantasy has a natural connection and order for aptitude, which exists in the intellect through this connection or order, the intellect, which already exists in aptitude, can move itself towards the act of completion. These things were said about the passion itself. Whether this position is consistent with what Aristotle said in the earlier texts, I leave it to you. The text appears to be written in Old Latin, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between the active and contemplative intellects according to Aristotle and his commentator. Here is the cleaned text:\n\ndiligencie lectoris. Credo quod posito pcedens magis est consona dictis Aristotelis et commentatoris. Ideo volens explico idem aute scdam actu in pcedenti comprehensvit phus intellectum agentem ad intellectum possibilem. In pcede istarum comprehendit eundem intellectum ad intellecctum speculativum, scilicet ad intellectum qui actu speculatur, ut autem videatur lra.

The intellect is in the habit of considering some things in actuality, but not all. One who contemplates an object constantly understands it in actuality and is not separated from it by action. However, one who does not understand something does not contemplate it. And it should be noted that the intelligible is not assimilated to the intellect unless it acts through the light. Moving is not a property of the intellect, as has been declared above, nor is it the same as the intellect in contemplation. The intellect in contemplation supposes the intelligible as possible only in virtue of the light, and it follows that it understands. The intelligible is not assimilated to the intellect unless it acts through the light. Moving is not a property of the intellect in virtue of its agency, as has been declared above. If the intellect is active like some claim, that the intellect causes itself in intelligence, as declared in the previous reading, then the intellect assimilates itself to the intelligible and moves itself towards assimilation. Either in this way or in that way, if the intellect is contemplative, it is assimilated to the contemplated object, or assimilation is like the similarity between the eyes and the object, and this unity is called \"nature\" in the former text. The first way, the second way, are both used to prove the same thing. If we consider the word that was said above, that the intellect is not separate from what is before it intelligizes, in that word the intellect understands \"nature\" as that which is made intelligible and that which is known is made known through contemplation, because contemplation is understanding. Therefore, the contemplative intellect is the active intellect, and it is this unity that the Philosopher called \"nature\" in the former text. The active intellect and the intellect that is formed, and this is the possible intellect of which it is said that it is that which is. It is that which is, or it is the things that are, and this can be understood in two ways. Either in actuality, and this is impossible, for the soul is not that which is in actuality. Or it is the true opinion of those who placed it as if it were composed of forms or could be understood as being the forms that are in the concept, and this is not other than the things themselves or those things. They are called speculative, therefore, because they are the same as the things that are to be understood.\n\nTo the first argument, it must be said in contrast that you cannot move and motion are not one. This is because necessarily every movable thing is united in some way with motion. If no way at all could be found for the moving thing to be united with motion, and motion were to be united with it through motion. mediae. An object in motion is moved by the very motion that receives it, for the motion itself is like a link and a mover and moved by its own motion. Following this, one might ask whether the object, which is the agent of thought, precedes the thought or the object of thought. It must be said that it is thus: if we recall what was said in metaphysics, it is stated there that in one and the same number, potentiality precedes actuality, just as a man in potentiality precedes a man in actuality. However, in different acts, potentiality follows potency. If a man is to pass from potentiality to act, he must do so through a human being who exists in act, and the one who exists in potentiality precedes the man in potentiality just as the deductive precedes the deduced in the same way. We can imagine that the intellect, which is possible, is one potentiality in one number, and just as potentiality precedes actuality in one number, here the intellect precedes the ability to perceive it. Intellectus agens diverses potentiae sunt, et quod in diversis actus precedit potentiam. Intellectus agens praecedit possibilem, quia intellectus agens precedit inintellectum, sicut deducens precedit deductum. Intellectus possibilis nudus est ab ipso speculacione, nec ad eam deducitur nisi per intellectum agendum. Si autem intellectus agis, potest intellectus possibilis precedere intellectum possibilis quod intellectus speculatus est intellectus aut generatus ex possibili. Quicquid praecedit aliquid possibile multo magis praecedit factum aut generatum ex illo possibili.\n\nTertio quaeretur, utrum verum est, quod intellectus in habitu aliquem intelligit id quod non est. Intellectus speculatus semper intelligit.\n\nDicendum est, quod ut dictum est, suspicio vel in habitu vel in actu, sed primum esse est in esse memoriali, quod esse quasi absconditum.

The first thing that makes intelligence is the intellect. The second thing that makes the intellect is the intellect in speculation, although something may be said from both sides. The intellect in habit and action has the power to include another power in the second, which is in the act of the intellect. Therefore, the intellect in habit does not understand what is in potential being and understands what is first. However, there is another thing that is in the act of the intellect which excludes the power to the inner act, so the speculative intellect, which is taken to be this, always understands. Regarding the fourth matter, it should be asked whether these properties mentioned can be adapted to the acting intellect. It should be said that, in the same way, science, which is the act, is the same thing as the object.\" The intelligent agent has formally not to be in the intellect as something possible or be caused by the activity of the agent due to the existence of science in the intellect of the agent, which is called \"active science.\" In other words, this science is the science existing in activity and virtue of the agent's intellect. Once the agent intellect and its activity are considered in themselves, this science, accepted as such, is nothing other than the very activity itself. If it is otherwise, the union of the agent intellect and its activity has the same science and object, since the intellect considering the object and the activity of the intellect have no other union in the intellect, and if the intellect considering the object had no union with the activity of the intellect, it would not move the possible intellect, which is contrary to what was proven above. Furthermore, the second property is that the intellect agent acquires through what was said, as it was proven that the intellect acting universally precedes the possibility and precedes the speculative intellect.

This is because it receives being from itself and from another, or because it is such that it seems not to be what it is from itself and seems to be what it receives from another. Nature receives both being and not being, and therefore it seems to be and not be, and consequently something incorruptible seems to be and not be.\n\nOn the contrary, those things which are said are opposed.\n\nTo this question, it must be said that a thing is perceived to be and not be in two ways, subjectively and objectively. Subjectively, it is perceived to be and not be because it can be drawn from the potentiality of the subject and matter through generation, and it can not be because it can return to the potentiality of the subject and matter through corruption. In this way, the sun can be perceived as generable and corruptible.\n\nObjectively, it can not be what it is not and be what it is not, even though it does not receive being from the potentiality of matter but rather through [something else].\" simplicem influxum cre\u00a6ationis et hoc modo potest esse et no\u0304 esse siue aspicit esse et uon esse. om\u2223ne quod est citra primum. \u00b6Omne enim quod est citra primu\u0304 est ens possibile.

Notandum est {quod} ista littera. quia hoc quidem impassible can order with the letter following. One could say that remembrance is in the intellectual part after death, but the philosopher excludes this, saying that this is impassible. That is, the intellectual part does not suffer remembrance or passion sensibly, and this seems truer, or it is ordered to follow and it is sense that intellect is impassible and incorruptible. The passive intellect is corrupted before intellect. Some would ask whether any potential inferior is called passive intellect in this way, it seems that the physical world wants this. It must be said that to anyone's evidence, it is potentia intellectualis that can be understood in two ways or through essence, and thus no potential inferior can be called intellectualis in this way, except for the sole potentia intlectus that is intellectualis. Or through participation, and thus some potential inferior can be called intellectualis because it obeys intellect and reason. We must understand that some potential is. Intellectualis is the capacity and this is the intellectual power. Some is intellectual by participation and not by capacity. And this is the inferior power, which is not essentially intellectual but obeys the intellect. From this it follows that it participates in its act and this is called the passive intellect. Or because it submits to passions, such as hatred or love. A third power is the power that is neither essentially nor participatively intellectual and this is the lower power that does not obey the intellect.\n\nIntelligible, what is intelligibility? After physical determination of the intellect, it determines this and makes two things. First, it distinguishes the multiple operation of the possible intellect. Second, it manifests both. Indivisible, moreover, to be noted is that the action of the intellect is divided into two, which is called information. The other is called faith. In information, the same thing is to comprehend. The given text is in Latin, and it appears to be a philosophical passage. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Here, the term 'informatio' is used for a complex act. This is because to comprehend such complex things is the same as for the potential form of their nature to be informed. The intellect, which is the enunciation or conclusion of complex things, is called 'fides.' This double operation, called 'informatio' and 'fides,' is distinguished by the philosopher in three ways. The first difference is in the principle: What Pedocles called it. The third is about the factors: Therefore, the first difference is that the first operation, which is formation or intelligence, is not divisible. The second, which is called 'fides' or intelligence of complex things, is about the former operation, and it is not false about the former. About the second operation, however, information is not called false. And this is what the philosopher says in the letter, that intelligible things, i.e., the indivisible, are not divided in this regard.\" falsum in intelligible things, where there is both true and false, is a certain position of intellects, that is, concepts or judgments. This composition is so called because they are one in number, that is, they make one enunciation or conclusion. It should be noted that the ratio of phi to establish this difference in operations is briefly stated in talis. The operations that are diverse are diverse, but the first operation and the second are similar. Therefore, the second is called true and the first is not, hence they are diverse.\n\nFurthermore, when it says \"Just as Empedocles said, he puts the second drama between the first operation and the second.\" This drama is so called because the operation that is complex intellect or faith presupposes that which is informative or intelligible of indivisibles. Therefore, the philosopher's reason for establishing this difference in brief could be such. An operation that presupposes is not the same as that which is presupposed. But the operation that is faith presupposes that which is. This text appears to be written in Latin with some errors. I will translate it into modern English while correcting the errors as faithfully as possible to the original content.\n\ninformation therefore is not the major one of this reasoning. It is manifest that what presupposes is not presupposed. A lesser thing, for example, an operation regarding complex things presupposes that which is regarding simple things. The philosopher manifests this in an example of Empedocles. He says that, just as the limbs of Empedocles' animal were once separate. But they were composed, however, through concord and from these were made one animal. Likewise, the parts of an enunciation are first apprehended separately through the first operation. Secondly, they are combined with one another through the second operation, and one enunciation is made. Beforehand, the quoted parts of a man and the quiddity of his soul are apprehended separately. Secondly, they are combined with one another, and this enunciation is made: \"man is an animal.\" And this is what the philosopher says in the letter: \"Empedocles said that many heads grew from the beginning, that is, they were headless, and so the heads were separated from the neck afterwards. But through concord, that is, through concord and friendship, these were separated.\" composita sunt collo et quod dictum est in animalibus. It should be said in enunciationes. For just as these things are separated and composed, so the intellect separates and composes them first. To some composed things, there is sometimes truth, sometimes falsity. He composes assymetros and diameters, saying that a diameter is assymetrical, that is, incommensurable with a coste. But you are right, he says that he composites simetrum and diametros, saying that a diameter is commensurable with a coste, and thus he speaks falsely. For he speaks otherwise in re. Then, when he says, \"If, however, there are factors or future things,\" he places a tercia drama between the first operation and the second, which he proves in this way. The first operation, which is the intelligence of uncomplicated things, does not concern the corpus. The second operation, which is the intelligence of complex things, concerns tempus, but these are not the same, therefore the first operation. non est secunda. This operation of the intellect concerning time is not second, but rather first. False, for he shows that this operation is second and not first, and it is somewhat true. False and true are intertwined in the second operation, but not in the first, as is clear in the first drama. However, the operation that concerns time sometimes says something true and sometimes something false. Therefore, the second operation that is called complex is a composition. Regarding this reasoning, he first argues that it is false in composition always. For if we do not compose what is white with what is not white, as in \"Cygni non est album,\" or if we compose something white with what is not white, as in \"Albus componitur ei quod non est album,\" just like in the former. This text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical or logical discourse. I will attempt to clean and translate it into modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\nThe text reads: \"dicatur [that] a raven is white, falsely [it is said] that [it is] also false in composition and division. Because it contains a separator of all things, that is, everything that can be affirmed or denied. It is stated in the second part of the same reasoning that a smaller [thing] can be false and make a difference in time, understood in a certain position. And so, in the operation concerning time, it is false just as it was stated in the minor [premise], and this is what it says, \"no solus\" is white. But [it was or will be] not only true or false in regard to the present time, but also past and future. And if it is such that in the consideration of time, it is true or false, it is necessary to conclude that this is by the composing intellect because the intellect is the maker of one thing. That is, the intellect of composition, the intellect of one thing, makes one and the same understanding from all intelligible things.\"\n\nCleaned and translated text:\n\nIt is said that a raven is white, but this is false both in composition and division. This is because it contains a separator of all things, which can affirm or deny. In the second part of the same reasoning, a smaller thing can be false and make a difference in time, understood in a certain position. Consequently, in the operation concerning time, it is false, just as it was stated in the minor premise. The statement \"no solus\" is white is not only true or false in the present time but also in the past and future. If, in the consideration of time, it is true or false, it is necessary to conclude that this is by the composing intellect. The intellect, being the maker of one thing, makes one and the same understanding from all intelligible things.\n\nNote: The text contains some irregularities, such as missing letters or words, which I have attempted to correct as faithfully as possible to the original content. However, some ambiguities remain due to the text's age and condition. composition precedes division because our intellect first grasps the terms and then composes, and division precedes composition. For whatever is to be joined, it both joins and separates and negates. In division, composition is called division, where one thing is not denied by another. Just as the intellect, in composing a position, asserts one position, so the intellect, in dividing, denies composition. It should be noted about this verb: the maker of one thing is one and the same. From that verb, there is no need for enunciation or composition of proposition, but the intellect and composition are to be placed in the soul such that the truth of the proposition, as is customary to say, is in the thing as in the cause. Because whatever is a thing or is said is either a true or false oration, and it is in the soul as in the subject and the predicate are in the thing without a medium. For one thing is not in it. In animalis compositione mediate, quod est in anima, compositio verbalis constituit hominem esse animal. Animal enim inest homini, sed per intellectus operus ipse intellectus concipit hominem et animal. Quodquid animal in homine est, tamen in suo modo significat se de se, non de altero. Hoc est bona enunciatio: homo animal est et ideo quia non dicit se de altero, inventa est copula verbalis mediante qua praedicatum dicetur de altero. Ratio verbi sola est quod de suo modo significat rem suam ut de altero. Et quia ita est, ideo nulla est enunciatio sine verbo. In omni enunciatione vel praedicatu, dicitur se de altero. Sicut in enunciatione affirmative, vel se dividit ab altero, sicut in negative. Et hoc non potest esse nisi vel quidditas predicati immediate verbetur, quod dicitur homo currit. Nihil enim dictur homo cursus, quia cursus non dicit res ut de altero. Et tamen bene dictur homo currit. quia currit dicit cursum, inasmuch as the predicate's very essence is predicated through a copula verb without the mediation of another verb, just as when it is said that a man is an animal. For animal's sake, signified by that term, is what is said of man.\n\nTo make the entire reading clearer, one would wish to address the first difference given between the first and second operation, that is, whether in the intellect alone and dividing it, the proposition is true or false.\n\nIt must be said that this difference must be verified through three propositions in order and three foundations. The first proposition is that every entity, without any quality, is another truth in the sense that we say that a quality of a man is a true entity because in its grade and in its kind, it follows the primary being and because entities have diverse qualities, there are diverse modes of existence and mutations, and diverse imitations are there, therefore diverse verities are there. Thus, it is declared that every entity is some truth. If it is the case that every operation of the intellect, which apprehends some being or substance, must apprehend some truth about it. Since the first operation of intelligence, which is indubitably intelligent, apprehends some being, it also apprehends some truth about it. For if it does not apprehend some truth, it apprehends nothing at all. If it apprehends some being, it apprehends some truth through the operation of indivisible quiddities, for through such an operation, a truth is in the apprehension because it apprehends what is true. The second proposition is that there is a difference between apprehending what is true and apprehending the truth about that which is true. This can be done in two ways: first, through the primary operation of the intellect, because through such an apprehension, the quiddity and substance are apprehended; second, only through the intellective power that reflects the entity or truth to that of which it is the truth. Therefore, if Reflecting on that which is true, the one who speaks the truth reflects on that which is true and thus, the true and the solution are composed and distinguished in the intellect as is the reflection itself. The intellect, by reflecting, either adequates itself to the truth or reality apprehended through the first operation and thus speaks the truth, or it does not and thus lies and speaks falsehood. From this it is clear that what is true can be in the apprehending intellect but speaking the truth is always in the composing intellect, because to speak the truth is the same as to reflect the truth or reality. It is also clear that what is true can be in the apprehending sense, for the sense of sight apprehends colors and that which is, but it is only the intellect that apprehends the relationship between them. Veritas aut entitas et illud cuius veritas aut entitas patet et non est in prima operatione quae est intelligere indivisibilium quiditatum, per hanc enim operationem vel apprehenditur aliud quid et tunc est ibi veritas et non falsitas. Veritas enim dico quia veritas apprehenditur, non quia veritas dicta est. Quia hoc est intellectus componentis vel nichil apprehenditur et tunc est ibi simpliciter ignorancia et non falsitas.\n\nTertia propositio et tercium fundamentum est quod falsum dicitur duobus modis. Est enim falsum rei, quod falsum est quia res pretendit se esse aliquid aliud quam sit. Et hoc modi falsum dicimus quod umbra est vera umbra et falsum corpus: quia pretendit se esse corpus cum non sit. Et falsum hoc modo acceptum est in re. Ymmo fundatur in vero. Umbra enim non esset falsum corpus nisi esset vera umbra. Et de hoc modo falsum non loquitur philosophus in litera. Alio enim modo consurgit falsum ex hoc quod intellectus aliter dicit de re. This text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical discussion. I will translate it into modern English and remove unnecessary characters.\n\nThe text reads: \"This is false, and what the philosopher says in writing is not false in reality nor even in the first operation of the intellect, which is called information. For the intellect, in apprehending a simple substance or being informed formally, says or asserts nothing about the false, as has been said. And therefore, the false must be in the second operation, which is faith. For where there is faith, there is an assertion.\n\nSecondly, one might ask about the second difference between the first operation of the intellect and the second, whether it is entirely similar in the position of Empedocles and of the philosopher. It must be said that the positions of Empedocles and the philosopher agree in two respects but differ in the third. They agree first, for just as Empedocles unites the parts of animals previously separated by friendship, so too does the philosopher unite the parts of an enunciation previously separated in the intellect.\n\nHowever, they differ in the third, for Empedocles' position and the philosopher's position converge in one way but diverge in another.\" componentem. Secondly, they conjoin: because just as Empedocles unites Germanic things, so the heads of many Germans were once without necks. Later, he joined Germans with suitable necks. In the second place, Empedocles and the philosopher differ, because for Empedocles the parts of an animal were separate, but for the philosopher the parts of speech that are joined together are not separate, because then if they were separate, the speech would be false, but they are only separately perceived by the intellect, which divides the concept and later unites the perceived and the objects of the perception. And thirdly, someone might ask about the third difference between the third and the first operation. secu\u0304da\u0304 intellcu\u0304s vt{rum} sc\u0290 sit vera differe\u0304cia Dicendu\u0304 est {quod} sic qd duplici via ve\u00a6nari possum{us}.

Notan\u00a6dum tamen {quod} licet Enunciations, concerning the meaning of a verb, are subject to the rule of time in enunciations that are contingent, as opposed to those that are necessary. Enunciations about contingent matters present a difference in time, but they do not signify a difference in every respect, since predicates can apply to the subject in the present tense even though they do not change in the past or future. Conversely, enunciations about necessary matters do not make a difference in time, as when I say \"homo est animal\" (man is an animal), I mean it applies only in the present and not in the past or future, and thus the same present tense can apply to the past and future because the time of such statements can be modified, and some verbs can change meaning slightly depending on the difference in time. A second way to prove this can be taken from the fact that time is a measure for anything. In this text, the Latin language is used, and no meaningless or unreadable content is present. The text is mostly free of modern additions or errors, so no significant cleaning is required. Here is the text in modern English translation:\n\nThe measurement of a thing is not to be understood in every way. Where it is necessary to be observed is what the essence is. And of this kind of measurement, it is said in the tenth of Metaphysics that whiteness is the measure of all colors. This ratio of measurement is taken only in terms of essential qualities and not in terms of existence. For it does not follow that if whiteness measures all other colors, that all other colors exist. But only this follows: that colors measured under different essential aspects look towards whiteness.\n\nThere is a measurement that concerns existence, such as the measurement of duration, as time itself is measured by existence. Since in the first operation it is understood what is abstracted from existence in effect, which concerns existence in effect, this operation does not concern time. But in the second operation, the quiddity is in some way reflected to exist in order to be affirmed or denied, and this operation concerns time by affirming or denying. negando existere sab certa diffe\u00a6rencia temporis\nINndiuisibi\u00a6le aute\u0304 Post{quam} aristoti\u00a6les distinxit du\u2223plicem o{per}ationem intellectus.

Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"contingit intelligere indivisibile in formis. Tercio ostendens quod per eandem operationem contingit intelligere indivisibilitatem puncti. Secunda ibi quod autem non sciam quantitatem. Tercia ibi. Punctum Primo ostendit quomodo intelligitur continuum. Ostendendo quod intelligendo continuum intelligitur indivisibile. Fundatur autem sensus sua super quatuor propositiones. Prima propositio est quod licet continuum sit quid dividi in potencia, tamen est quid indivisum in actu. Et quia ita est, ipsum continuum est indivisum in actu, ideo potest intelligi ut quid indivisum. Secunda propositio est quod omne ens quantum participat de ratione indivisibilis tantum participat de ratione unius. Continuum ergo quantum participat de ratione indivisibilis tantum participat de ratione unius. Ex quo sequitur quod, sicut continuum potest intelligi ut indivisum in actu, ita etiam potest intelligi ut vacuum. Nam quod nihil prohibet intelligere unum, ipsum.\" The third proposition is that a continuum can be understood and proportioned as if it were a single thing, just as a continuum is understood to be one and indivisible in one measure and in one indivisible moment. The fourth proposition is that a continuum can be understood in two modes. In the first mode, it can be understood as a collection of parts that participate in unity and is understood to be one in an indivisible moment. In the second mode, it can be understood as a single thing following others in time. Therefore, regarding the question about matter in the second position, the phrase \"physical nature in the first place\" means that someone can understand the length of a continuum as a species under a genus, and nothing prohibits understanding the indivisible. The reason for this is that the indivisible is said in two ways, potentiality and actuality, and although length is a potentiality, it can still be understood. divisible in potential is indivisible in act and under this condition, this indivisible one is understood to be divisible and indivisible. For four causes following the third proposition, he says that this is so, just as the indivisible is in the indivisible, that is, in the instant that is indivisible in time. Similarly, for example, the proportion is divisible and indivisible to the length, understood as if the length is understood as indivisible in indivisible time. Therefore, for the fourth proposition, the text follows, saying that it does not have to be said that one part, that is, each part, is something to be understood in the middle of time, so that one part of time is understood as one part of a continuum and another as another. This does not happen unless it is divided in actuality. Therefore, it must be said either that the length or the continuum will be a potentiality above, that is, will be divided. And thus it is understood as one and indivisible. Or else, it should be said that the length or the continuum will be a potentiality above, that is, will be divided. It is to be said that the intellect, understanding, distinguishes whether it is the smaller part or the smallest part, that is, it understands each half separately. Thus, when the intellect is thus, it simultaneously divides time as well as length. The reason for this is that if it is a continuum, that is, if it happens to understand a continuous thing as one thing composed of three parts, it itself understands and in time, when it is in the three parts, it does not understand in time divided but in the instant that is in the three parts of time.\n\nIf, however, it is understood as divided in time.\n\nIt is to be noted that understanding a continuum could be in two ways. One way is to understand the essence of the continuum by abstracting from this continuity: or in that way, to understand the continuum is through an indivisible species and in the divisible time, for in that way the essence and quiddity of the continuum are understood, as the essence and quiddity of other things are. The intellect, comprehending the essence of a thing abstracts it from this and that, and understands something common to all participants in that essence. In the second way, the intellect comprehends the continuous as it is individuated, and because the individuum is left to its inferior potentiality and the quiddities are reserved for intelligence, as was said above. Therefore, to comprehend the continuous is, as it were, to reflect upon inferior potentialities. The intellect can comprehend the continuous in two ways. Either by receiving all parts at once under the form of the whole and is understood as one. Or by receiving one part after another. et sic intelligitur ut plura. Primo modo in instanti, secundo in tempore. Example of sight: The vision can be made of an object in two ways - first, as if it were carried over all parts of it at once, and thus the vision is in the instant; second, as if it were made before one part and afterwards over another. When he says \"what the age or quantity is,\" he then shows how the indivisible is understood: he first shows how the form of the indivisible is understood, and then comes to show how the indivisible is applied to this. It should be noted that the intention of the mind is founded upon two things: the first is that two things can differ in intention and certainty without their being contrary in reality. The intention can be received by the intellect apart from the intention of another, unless this is not the case. This is not a good definition. linea est longitudine quam latitudine. Nisi enim intellectus potest accipere intencionem latitudinis, non est bene dictum, quod linea esset longitudo sine latitudine. Sed quia hoc potest, ideo non obstante, quod longum realiter sit latum, intellectus distinguit intencionem a existencia. Secundum fundamentum, forma recepit inquantum de sua intencione est indivisibilis. Tamen mediante quanto in quo recipitur, recipit divisible et sic haec forma quam aliam intencionem indivisibilis est et quam aliam est divisibilis, ex quo sequitur quod intellectus potest concipere primam intencionem sive secundam et hoc est quod idem est quod intellegit indivisibile speciem et non quantitatem, id est formam et non continuitatem. The text appears to be written in old Latin script, and it seems to be discussing the concept of the indivisible in relation to time and the soul. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nprimum indivisibile intelligit illud in indivisibili tempe. I. in indivisibili tempis et indivisibili animis. Licet quod specie indivisibilis sit divisibilis, quaecumque in pertinentiis recipiunt illam, intellectus non intelligit illam donec divisa. Nec intelligit illa in tempore in quo intelligitur ut divisa. Sed intelligit ea supra in indivisibili tempe.\n\nNotandum est quod anima \u0113 in se indivisibilis. Tamen sorticur quaedam diuisiones per actus, quod potest elicere diversos actus. Ita anima elicet unum actum in divisa in se et in divisa eius actionem. Elicet autem denos actus indivisus in se, tamen quodammodo divisa eius actiones. Hoc videtur pateare in quod dicit Phus in lara.\n\nDixit quod intellectus intelligit idivisibilem formam idivisibili tempi et per indivisibilem animam. Appellans indivisibilem animam indivisibilitatem animae suae actionem quaeret aliquis utrum sit dr\u0101. It is impossible for something to have an indivisible specificity and indivisible continuity. This is what they say. This can be shown in two ways. The first way is through the difference in indivisibility that is compatible with reason in parts, because they receive indivisibility in the respect that they participate in divisibility. And so, this one thing is compatible with divisibility only through an accident and in the respect of something else, which was not first one in itself but rather in the respect of the first one in terms of unity. Because it concerns part and potential divisibility. The second way to show that the first one is not the second is through the common way, because the first one concerns unity, but not necessarily does the second one concern continuity. Rather, it seems to be in non-continuous things. We see that unity can take two forms. Either it is unity in the sense that we say that an animal is one, or it is unity in the order to another, as we say that an army is one in the order to one commander. The first one is not one in this way. \"It is necessary that there be unity in one thing. For the reason why there is unity in one thing is that if one part moves, the other does not, as explained in the tenth book of Metaphysics. In an animal, however, it is not so that one part moves while the other does not, and it has no reason for continuity at all. Regarding the unity of form in relation to one, just as it is clear that there is no continuity in an army, not at all. What would one ask, then, whether the unity that a thing has when it becomes one is the same reason and the same mode. It must be said that it is not. Sometimes unity is in a form that does not concern divisibility, neither in itself nor through an accident, because it in no way concerns the quantity. And this is the unity in separated forms. And regarding such forms, it is not in doubt that understanding them is understanding one thing. Sometimes, however, unity is in a form because the form itself is not divided, yet it cannot concern division through an accident on account of the parts integrating it. In this way, we say that a human being is one.\" This text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the concept of unity in various forms. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"sed hoc unum quoddam formam significat, quia forma per se unum potest tamen dividi in partibus subiectis, quae non est dubia, intelligigique potest ut una, abstracta a partibus subiectis, sicut forma secundum modum accepta potest intelligigere ipsa, abstracta a divisione partium integrantium. vel quia omnes partes sub forma totius intelligendae sunt, ita quod una pars non intelligitur post aliam. Forma autem tertio modo accepta intelligigitur ut unum, quia ipsa potest intelligi ut abstracta a suis partibus subiectis. Quarto modo est unitas in forma ex ordine ad unum. Quodidem modo loquimur, quod aliquis exercitus unum est in ordine ad unum ducem vel ad unum finem quem ipse ita intendit.\" The unity is first defined as that which abstracts from its own parts or from the division of its subjective parts. It is also asked whether it abstracts from the actual division of integrating parts itself. It is said to be understood in two ways: the continuity is a certain formality that can be found in a line or surface and in the body of a quantity, as in species or as if in species and in the subjective parts which are indivisible. One must understand that the formalities themselves should be understood as that which is abstracting from its own parts. We also say that lineation is a specific ratio that is found in this line and that one or the other, and similarly, unity continues from this line or that, and in this way unity is received in some way other than that. The abstract thing is taken from the subjects to which it pertains. Some things receive it from this, because the abstract thing is taken away from the divine actual or successive intellection. We say that a continuous composition can be understood in individual measure and unitary action, and because such continuous things are not received except in potentiality and are abstracted from actual division. Simultaneously, some indivisible species are understood, which makes all parts of the whole be one in the same way that we say that flesh, bones, and all the parts of an animal come together into one form. In this way, forms in the continuous and in the first mode are something incomprehensible, i.e., indivisible. It makes time be one and length of all things continuous. And such indivisible thing, as it is in one continuous thing, is in all, for example, in time in length, and similarly in every other continuous thing.\n\nNote that this indivisible thing, which makes one continuous thing intelligible in two ways. One way, as this one thing intelligently understands itself. species et forma toctius makes all parts be one towards it, and all parts run towards it. In the same way, this one thing is called indivisible by those parts that press against it continuously, like lines to a point and parts of time to an instant. And so this one is said to maintain unity in its own way, and Phusus says similarly, that is, in a proportional way, for parts of time have to it as parts of a line have to a point, and similarly for others that are continuous. Then, when he says, \"Punctum autem,\" after showing that the indivisible is first understood through operation of the intellect, he here shows that the same reason applies to the third indivisible, which cannot be divided in any way and makes two. For first, he shows that this indivisible is understood through privation of the divisible. Second, he shows that every intellect that understands this indivisible. The text appears to be in Latin and contains no meaningless or unreadable content. It appears to be a philosophical or logical text discussing the concept of a point and its relation to division and privation. Here is the cleaned text:\n\ncognoscit priuaconem et contrarium est in potencia ibi oportet autem potencia. Quod ad primum dicit, quod punctum et omnis divisio, id est omne quod est ratio dividendi, tamen non dividitur et omne indivisibile. Sicut punctus monstrat, intelligitur sicut priatio, id est priuationem continuum et divisibilem. Quod autem punctum intelligatur per priationem. Hoc non solum est in eo, sed similis ratio est in alis. Si quaeratur quomodo intellectus noster cognoscit malum aut nigrum, dicemus quod cognoscit utrumque. Contra, id est per priationem contrariorum, ut malum per priationem boni et nigrum per priationem albi. Quereret aliquis utrum punctus cognoscat per priationem. Dicendum est quod sic. Ad cuius evidencia supponendus sunt duo fundamenta. Primum enim fundamento est quod divisa et composita sunt magis nota nobis quam indivisibilia et simplicia. Secundum. The fundamental is that which we more clearly know, we have defined more clearly and named more clearly, and therefore we have defined divisibles and composites as distinct and posited definitions. Indivisibles and simples, which we know less, we have defined by a definition stating that they are indivisible. It is noted that phus says in the first that a point does not divide; it is rather the division itself. The reason for this division is that the division falls according to the point, as if phus were saying that a point does not divide. And this is the ratio of division: it is that by which the division falls.\n\nFurthermore, it says that the potentiality. The intellect which knows through privation and contrary forms is in the potentiality, stating this. It is necessary that the potentiality knowing be this: that is, the intellect which knows through privation and contrariness is in the potentiality. And likewise, it is in the same: that is, it is in the same intellect that there are species of one opposite through which it knows another opposite. But if there is an intellect which has no contrariness. no\\_ cognoscit illa intellectus cognoscit se ipsum et nihil est quod in potencia. Sed est quod actu est peripatetic. Queret quisquam ut intellectus qui cognoscit potentia sit in potentia. Dicendum est hoc aut. Hoc autem patet si vere duo fundamenta principia primum principium est quod natura, quae est ad contradictoria, est natura potentialis. Hoc autem principium potest esse eo ipso quod aliquid est sub uno contradictorio aliquidque sub alio est respectu utrusque. Si autem esset semper sub uno contradictorio et non posset esse sub alio, esset necessarium esse respectu illius sub quo est et impossibile respectu illius sub quo non est. Quare potest esse sub utroque nec necessario nec impossibile respectu alicuius restat ergo quod sit natura possibilis. Si autem hoc principium verum est, sequitur quod potentiae cognitae nostrae sint naturae possibiles. Aliquid enim quod querit intellectus qui cognoscit non est sub visione. Aliquando. cognoscit priuationem est in potencia ut quod sit sensus. Quod intellectus qui aliquis cognoscit se esse in priuatione est ipotencia. Et hoc est quod dicunt commentator, quod quemadmodum visus cognoscit obscuritatem per comprehensionem defectus lucis ita intellectus cognoscit priuationem per comprehensionem defectus formae et opere ut eadem virtus scilicet intellectus sit cognoscens habitu et priuatione sicut eadem virtus visus cognoscens obscuritatem et lucidum et ecia opere quod hec virtus cognoscat priationem comprehendendo se esse in potencia. Commentator in verbis istis potencia non habens habitum cognoscit se esse priuatam habitu et hoc habitu cognoscit se habere habitu. Ex quo sequitur quod sit natura possibilis.\n\nSecundum principium quod debet verificari est quod:\n\n(Note: The text appears to be in Old Latin, but it is still readable and does not require translation into modern English.) The given text appears to be written in an old Latin script, which requires translation and some cleaning to make it readable in modern English. Here's the cleaned text:\n\n\"This is the one who has no notion of himself but can become under contrary notions, so that through one contrary notion, another is known to him through another contrary notion. It is as if he has passed from one notion to another. Transition from notion to notion is possible, and therefore Physis states that this intellect, which knows through privation by habit, is in potentiality. But this other intellect, which seems to know itself and knows itself through itself and not through any one contrary notion, is an actual intellect because it is always above self-knowledge and not in any contrary notion.\"\n\nFrom these two principles established: it is clear that what is being asked for is such that the first principle shows that the intellect is in potentiality at some point. The second principle shows that the intellect is in potentiality because through it. With the given input text, there are some symbols and abbreviations that need to be translated and expanded to make it readable. Here's the cleaned text:\n\nCognitione unius devenit in cognitione alterius vel per notitia habitus devenit in notitia privationis. Deinde dicit. Est aut dividio. Postquam manifestavit prima opera in intellectu manifestat secunda que fundat super duo fundamenta. Primum fundamentum est quod visus respectu unius rei circa quid non errat. Sicut visus non errat circa color. Vocat autem obmute quod cuuis natura est movere visum ita quod de natura ipso est facere visionem. Sicut deroune cuiuslibet sensibilis per se facit sensationem. Respicit idee visus obiectu per accidens. Vocat autem obmute quod ea adiungit obo. Nec est de ratione sui facere sensationem vel visionem, et circa tale obiectum erat visus. Licet enim non errat circa color, tamen errat circa id cuius est color, puta si velit dicere quod id quod videtur est homo vel aliud tale. Secundum autem fundamentum est quod sicut visus respectu duarum rei, una circa quid non errat, altera circa quid errat. The object has one thing in itself and one thing as an accident, and the intellect does the same. For the intellect looks at itself in its own being, just as the visible makes vision, so the quiddity makes intlection. Around this quiddity, the intellect may err, and it does not say falsehood about it. The intellect also looks at that to which this quiddity belongs, and therefore it can err and speak falsehood about it. And because this is by secondary and accidental operation, which in some way reflects the quiddity of that which it is not, there is no falsehood in the secondary operation, but there is falsehood in the first. From what has been seen, it is clear that every statement made by the intellect is either true or false, that is, in such reflection, it can be true or false. Not every intellect always errs or speaks falsehood: the intellect that is directed towards the quiddity of something, that is, has an essence, does not err. This text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical or theological passage. I will translate it into modern English as faithfully as possible, while removing unnecessary characters and formatting.\n\ndicit falsum sed semper est verus: quodque dicit, semper est verum. Quidquid reflectit ad aliquid aliud, simpliciter comprehendit ipsum quidditatem, sicut videre respectu proprij objecti est verum, respectu antea illius cuius est albedo non semper est verum. Sicut si indicat albedo aliquid de homine vel non, non semper indicat verum. Sicut quecumque sine materia sunt, sic se habent proprietas obiecta respectu visus, ita se habent quiditates quae abstrahuantur a materia et ab eo cuius sunt circa intellectum. Sicut circa proprietas obiecta, visus nihil errat, ita circa quiditates intellectus nihil errat.\n\nDeinde, idem autem est: repetit quoddam dictum superius dicens quod scientia sive intellectus actu sciens et considerans idem rei scit. Sciencia vero, que est potentia in uno et eodem praedicto, omnino simpliciter neque tempore praecedit scientiam.\n\nTranslation:\n\nWhat he says is false but always true: whatever he says, it is always true. Whatever reflects to something else, it simply comprehends the quiddity, just as seeing respecting a proper object is true, respecting that which is before it, its whiteness is not always true. Just as whatever is without matter is, so are its properties respecting sight, so are the quiditites which are abstracted from matter and from him whose they are, respecting the intellect. Just as concerning properties, sight makes no error, so concerning quiditites, the intellect makes no error.\n\nFurthermore, the same thing is: he repeats a certain statement made above, saying that knowledge or the intellect, in its active state of knowing and considering, knows the same thing. But knowledge, which is the potency in one and the same subject, is entirely and simply neither before nor in time prior to knowledge. in actu quia omnia quae facta sunt, i.e., quae derivantur ex potentia ad actum, facta sunt ex ente in actu, nisi ergo praecedat scientia, sic actus sciens prius fuisset potentia. Quereret aliquis utrum in secunda operatione intellectus, que est compositio sive fides, intellegitur unum, sicut intellegebat in prima operatio, videtur quod non in secunda operatione intelligitur predicatum et subiectum sunt plura. Ad oppositum, intellectus noster non intelligit plura ut plura, omne quod intelligitur intelligitur ut unum. Intelligere autem nos non possumus nisi unum. Dicendum est quod predicatum et subiectum in enunciatione non apprehenduntur ut plura, sed ut convergent ad unitate enunciationis, ita intellectus componens intellectu intelligit unum. Hoc autem patet primo sic. Certum est quod durus intelligere hominem per se et alium per se, et intelligere. hominees are animals, for a man is an animal in act and not only in name. One man indicates this by one act, one sign. In understanding that a man is an animal, we understand that he is predicated as it is verbally signified, as it was said before, and is apprehended intuitively. The same holds true for the verbally signified and the indicatively signified. Secondly, it is clear that we apprehend a man as an animal or apprehend extremes or apprehend something other than extremes for the same reason. If we apprehend extremes alone, it follows that the same is apprehended as apprehending a man in himself and an animal in itself, which is why it is impossible for this to be otherwise, and therefore we must judge a man to be an animal to be something other than. We will assume the text is in Latin, as it appears to contain Latin words and phrases. I will translate it into modern English and remove unnecessary characters.\n\napprehendere extremum quia iudicare cadit super unum statum compositionis, ergo actum intuitivum quod cadit super quod libet extremorum, indicatiuum quod cadit super unitatem compositionis in quo actu indicatiivo virtualiter continentur actus intuitivi, quia numquam actus indicativus cadit super veritatem propositionis nisi praesuppositis actibus intuitivis terminis et sic patet quod in secunda operatione intelligitur aliquo modo unum.\n\nAd argumentum patet quia subiectum et predicatum non intelliguntur ut plura, quia sic intelliguntur per actus intuitivi, sed quod intelliguntur partes unius sub quo cadit individuum. Et sic ex hoc habemus primum unum quod oppositum est compositioni propositionis. Et hoc est unum in complexu quia intelligitur per actum intuitivum.\n\nSecundum habemus unum enunciationis quod apprehenditur per actum indicativus.\n\nTertium habemus unum quod componit multitudinem dividendam in actu et hoc est unum quod est continuum.\n\nQuarto\n\nCleaned Text:\n\nWe assume that a judgment about an extreme state of composition falls under one status, so the intuitive act that falls under whatever extremes there are, and the indicative act that falls under the unity of composition, in which the intuitive acts are virtually contained in the indicative act, since the indicative act never falls under the truth of a proposition unless presupposed intuitive acts and their terms are given. And it is clear that in the second operation, one is understood in some way.\n\nTo the argument, it is clear that the subject and predicate are not understood as multiple, because they are understood through intuitive acts. But what is understood as one under which an individual falls is the first thing that is opposed to the composition of a proposition. And this is one thing in the complex because it is understood through an intuitive act.\n\nSecondly, we have one thing that is stated in an enunciation, which is apprehended through an indicative act.\n\nThirdly, we have one thing that composes a multitude that can be divided in the act, and this is one continuous thing.\n\nFourthly We have one thing that is in form and appearance. We have one thing, which Quintus has determined cannot be divided like a point. This one thing, however, can be apprehended through a single, simple act of intuition. It seems that there is something sensible here, which the philosopher determines regarding the intellect. First, he compares the intellect to the senses. Second, he returns to speak of the intellect itself. And indeed, in action, there is a triple convergence between intellect and sense. The first convergence is that, just as the sense in sensing is not moved, so neither is the intellect in understanding. The second convergence is that, just as the sense, in simple apprehension, does not follow flight or pursuit of appetite, so the animallia do not immediately flee or pursue what they simply apprehend. For this reason, the movements of the appetitive faculties do not follow apprehension in the same simple way that the movements of the intellect do not follow simple apprehension. The appetitive is the third conjunction, as in sense perception, and whatever is suitable or convenient for it follows the flight or pursuit of the appetite of the sense. Similarly, in the intellect, the pursuit or flight of the appetite of the intellect follows the perception of good or evil. These three conjunctions have three parts. The first is placed at the beginning. The second is \"Sentire quiadem igitur.\" The third is \"Cu\u0304 aute\u0304 delectabile.\"\n\nRegarding the first conjunction, it is said that the active sense seems to reduce the potential sense to act. In this reduction, the sense is not altered nor does it suffer. Therefore, this reduction or sensation must be another species of motion from physical motion.\n\nMotion is physical for something imperfect. Sensation, however, is an act made by the sensible and is an act that is perfect. But an act is either perfect or imperfect. If the sense does not supply the potential nor is it moved much less, nor is the intellect. Quere: Is there anyone in whom feeling differs from physical motion? It is said that we can give a threefold distinction in this matter when reading one mode. After he said that the sensible, acting agent makes an act from potential sensitivity, he immediately adds: It does not endure or change. Therefore, there is another species of motion as if to say. The sensible acts in such a way that it does not endure, hence it is not assimilated to physical motion. The second difference is that in physical motion something is abandoned because it is moved in the opposite direction. The contrary, however, is not received without corruption of the other contrary. In sensing or understanding, however, nothing is abandoned but only perfected. And the philosopher, pointing this out in writing, said: Sense is not altered. And therefore, sensing is not moving. But there is another species of motion as if to say. Where there is physical motion, there is a change from opposite to opposite. Because sensing or understanding is not a change from opposite to opposite. contrario contrariu. Ergo non est motus physicus. Tertia differentia est quia motus physicus est fluxus formae in quod fluxus actus diminuus precedit actu completus, et quia ita est, ideo motus physicus est actus imperfecti - actus entis diminutae tendentis ad perfectionem et complementum. Ipsum sentire vel intelligere non sunt actus tendentis de actione diminuta ad actionem completam, sed sunt actus entis stantis perfecti. Et hanc differentiam expresse dicit Physica in prima.\n\nDeinde cum dicit \"Sentire quidem,\" ponit secundam convenientiam inter sensum et intellectum, dicens \"quod sentire, id est similiter apprehendere rem per sensum et non sub ratione non cognitu vel conveniunt,\" est simile ipso drue solum et intelligere - assimilatur simplexi divisioni et intellectuali intellectus quia scilicet \"As for such a grasp of the senses, there follows neither flight nor pursuit of the sense's appetite. Nor does the intellect follow such a grasp with flight or pursuit of the intellect's appetite. It is not clear in the given letter that this is meant in two ways: first, as it is introduced to prove that to sense and to understand are not movements, and then sense and understanding are similar in that, just as in the action of speaking, the action is complete immediately upon being spoken, without the preceding action being diminished. And because one precedes such an action. Therefore, sensing and understanding are not imperfect and diminished acts and, consequently, not movements. Secondly, the given letter can be introduced to show the agreement between the senses and the intellect, for, as was said, in reading.\" The text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical or theological passage. Here is the cleaned text:\n\napprehensio huius vellilli potentie. Quidquid apprehendit, non iudicat conveniens vel delectabile vel triste. Deinde dicit. Aut delectabile, ponit tertia convenientia inter sum et intellectum et corpus hoc facit secundo manifestat quod dixit ibi Sicut emu ayer. Hoc tercium convenientia est vel sicut in suum ad iudicium nocuum vel conveniens sequitur fuga vel desiderium ita in intellectu. Physis duo facit quod aut ondit quod hoc quod dico est in se, secundo ondit quod hoc quod dico est in intellectu, et intellectus conuit cum eo ibi. Intellectus autem animae circa primum phusis quadriplicat. Primum quod implicat, quod cum esset affirmans vel negans hoc esse conveniens aut non, statim sequitur prosecutio vel fuga, hoc est quod dicit lra. Quod cum esset affirmans vel negans hoc esse delectabile, id est conveniens, quod poterat causare delectionem aut tristitiam. The following text is in Latin and requires translation and some correction. Here's the cleaned version:\n\n\"sequitur aut fugit. Appetitus prompts one to follow or flee. Secondly, when it involves matter, it is to show what it means to be delighted and distressed. This implies that mention has been made of the delightful and distressing. Therefore, one acts moderately, desiring the good and shunning the evil insofar as these things are delightful and distressing. Because the agreeable is a cause of delight, and the disagreeable a cause of distress, and this is a moderately sensitive action, mediated through the senses. First, one apprehends something as agreeable or disagreeable in order that delight or distress may follow. Thirdly, when it involves matter, flight and pursuit follow in fact. That is, they follow the actual perception. Moreover, even flight and pursuit follow these things when something else is apprehended differently. Fourthly, what involves matter is the same in the case of the fugitive and the desirous, but assent is required.\" vtriusque is one thing and this is what the letter L says. And one appetite and one that is fleeting are opposite to the sensible. But to be one thing is different. That is, the fleeting is not different from the appetitive and the fleeting in sense from the sensible. Plato placed them in different places. But this is what it means, that there is a double meaning in one mode, it can be said that this is in the sensible, and in another mode it can be said that this is in the sensible.\n\nRegarding its evidence, it should be noted that from the conjunction of the agreeable with the agreeable, delight arises. Let us imagine, for example, that animals have some natural inclination or inclination towards the agreeable. On account of this conformity or inclination towards the agreeable, they are attracted to these things and are delighted by them, so that the appetite is present in the absence of the agreeable. Delight is in the present, but this agreeable does not cause appetite or delight unless it is present first. Apprehended is something and this happens through the senses, as the appetite is absent when the desirable is absent, so fear is absent when the harmful is absent. And just as pleasure is present when the desirable is present, so sadness is present when the harmful is present. And just as there is a perception of the perceived thing through the senses there, sadness is also produced through the senses, that is, through sensory stimulation. Sensory perception is a middle term for all particular senses. In a common sense, judgment is made about the thing perceived through the senses. Before the judgment of acceptance and rejection follows flight from the harmful and desire for the pleasurable. One might ask whether it is thus with the fleeing and desiring. It is indeed so. Appetite and fleeing are the same. idem et eadem potentia - we have the same power, for the same power by which we seek conformity we flee from harm. Yet this power is called the power of philosophy because although we can do this through the same power, it has a different aspect when it acts as a seeker and when it acts as a fleer. For the former it looks to conformity, but for the latter it looks to harm. And this difference the philosopher calls a rational difference.\n\nSomeone might ask whether appetite and sensation differ from sensation. It must be said that to differ and to be distinct can be in two ways, in place and in magnitude. Thus, fleeting and appetite do not differ from sensation in the same way. Although Plato said otherwise, for in the same organ sensation and appetite are rooted, and the philosopher said this in the Timaeus, that appetite does not differ from sensation.\n\nHowever, something can also differ from something in intention and potentiality, and thus appetite or fleeting differs from sensation because there is one power of appetite and another. sensitina. \u00b6De\u00a6inde cum dicit. Intellectiue autem Past{quam} posint {quod} sensus si fuerit iu\u00a6dicans hoc esse conueniens vel noci\u2223uum prosequitur et fugit. hic dicit {quod} hoc idem est in i\u0304tellectu. et ex hoc est couueniencia inter sensum et in\u00a6tellectum et hoc est illnd quod di\u2223cit philosophus in littera {quod} fantas\u00a6mata respectu intellectiue ai\u0304e funt vt sensibilia respectu sensus id est sicut sensibilia mouent sensum. ita fantasmata intellectum ex quo se\u2223quitur {quod} sicut fuga et appetitus se\u00a6quitur ad apprehensionem sensua\u2223lem de conueniente et nociuo. ita cu\u0304 intellectus fuerit affirmans aut ne\u00a6gans\nhoc esse bonum vel malum pro\u00a6sequitur aut fugit scilicet appeti\u2223tus intellectiu{us}. & quia sicut se ha\u00a6bent sensibilia ad sensum ita se ha\u2223bent fantasmata ad intellectum\u00b7 ideo sequitur {quod} sicut scnsus non potest sentire sine sensibili ita intellectus non potest intelligere sine fantasma te \u00b6Notandum est {quod} ex verbis philosophi triplicem conuenieuciam possumus acci{per}e inter sensum et The intellectual thing moves, just as sensory things move the senses, so phantasms move the intellect. As it has been said above, the light of the intellect illuminates this feeling, and to feel this is to be moved by the sensory and to understand is to be moved by phantasms. Just as it is impossible to move without a mover, it is impossible to feel without sensory things and to understand is not without phantasms, and this is the second agreement that the philosopher puts forward. The third agreement is between the sense and the intellect, because, as the appetite follows the sense, so it follows the intellect. The reason for this agreement is that the appetite follows the form apprehended, although not in every way. As it has been said above, there are two modes of apprehension, sensory and intellectual. And there are two kinds of appetite, one that follows the sense, of which the philosopher says \"whatever the sense was, the appetite follows it affirming or denying.\" And another that follows the intellect. Of this same thing the philosopher says. in litera:\nJust as the air follows after the philosopher set forth the triple convergence between sense and intellect, he manifested something he said. And two things make this manifest. For he first said that, just as sensible things are disposed towards sense, so are phantasms towards intellect, and this is manifest in the beginning. Secondly, he said that when the intellect determines in phantasms, good or evil arises or follows. And this is manifest in the second part.\n\nSpecies indeed manifest this. Therefore, sensible things first manifest how they are disposed towards sense. Secondly, from this it is concluded that phantasms are similarly disposed towards intellect. Moreover, the term also manifests how sensible things are disposed towards sense. If the three propositions given by the philosopher are verified,\n\nThe first proposition is that sensible things always change the sense. Hec propositio proposita in lectione precedenti. where it was said that a sensitive agent draws itself from potencia to this act, the philosopher, in the Librum quod, says that air, changed from the sensible, makes the pupil change, that is, the pupil changes the air itself. Hec ipse pupilla facta alia. Ipsa autem pupilla facta alia, ab ipso sensibili facit alium ipsum. Sensum ipsum scribendo. Visus movet a visibili mediately through air and the pupil. Et audius similiter movetur mediately through audibili. Secunda propositio est quod sensus communis est quoddam vitium et quoddam medium, in quo terminantur omnes immutationes sensuum particularium, ita quod hoc vitium est unum in re. Tamen est plura sensibus essentialiter \u00b6Ad hoc argumentum huius positionis notandum est quod sensus communis dictur principium et primum. Quia ipse est fontes et origo virtutis sensibilis. Potest enim dicere medium inter sensibus particulares vel simili imagino de sensu. communis respectu particularium. Just as a center respects lines drawn from it to the circumference, so do all sensations of the senses particularis terminate at the common sense. And therefore the common sense is called the medium because it assimilates to the central medium. Thus, just as the center is one in a thing but has various aspects regarding different lines, so the common sense is one in a thing regarding various aspects of sensations from different senses particularis. It is said that the common sense is the last (one). Because all sensations are resolved into it, this is stated in the proposition given. But the last and one and only medium and half are the same as if it were saying. Although there are many particular immutations, the ultimate to which these immutations are resolved is one. And it is one and the same medium that is assimilated to the one medium in the center. Although it is one, it is multiplied, that is, it is multiplied. The third proposition is that diverse sensations of different sense organs terminate in the common sense, such that the common sense judges between the sensible things of different sense organs. For instance, it judges that sweet is not hot. The reason for this proposition is that any power of judgment judges regarding the difference between two things, but one sense organ does not apprehend what another does not, nor does the sensation of one sense organ terminate in another sense organ. Therefore, there must be one common sense to which all sensations terminate, so that judgments are made about them. And this proposition is verified by what the ancient philosophers said. However, what distinguishes sweet from hot was discussed earlier in the second [part]. Indeed, there is some one thing, as if it were said, it was said earlier in the second [part] and should be said again. est nuuc eciaah quod est unum et aliqua una potentia communis qua id est per quam potentia ipsa discernit quid differt dulce et calidum, id est videt differentiam diversorum sensuum. \u00b6Deinde cum dicit. Sic autem et terminus. Quod dixit de sensibilibus respectu sensus. Dicit de fantasmatibus respectu intellectus et duo facit. Quia primo adaptat ad intellectum quod dixit de sensu. Secundo manifestat hoc in exemplo ibi. Sic igitur. \u00b6Quantum ad primum, notandum est quod Philoppus dixit de sensu communi, quod est terminus omnium immutationum factarum a sensibilibus. Idem dixit de intellectu, qui est terminus omnium immutationum factorum a fantasmatibus, et hoc est quod dicit lra. Sic autem et terminus et intellectus est ultimus terminus ad quem terminentur omnes terminationes fantasmatum. Secundum quod dixit de sensu, communis iudicat inter diversa sensibilia diversorum sensuum particularium. Simile dicit hic de intellectu, quod idem intellectus discernit inter. diversa fantasmina and this is what Lra says, for such a thing has one number or proportion of being, as it is to that other. What makes it different is not inhomogeneous or contrary, like white or black and so on. This is the intellect in proportion, that is, it is proportioned to the sense judging between two sensibles. Or indeed, this intellect is one number, that is, it resolves all phantasms into one, whether they are inhomogeneous or contrary, that is, as this is to that other, or as it was to the community of things, if these sensibles are inhomogeneous or contrary, like white and black. In this there is no difference, and this is what Lra says next, for what makes a difference is in no way different, that is, to judge incommensurable sensibles or contraries by the common sense. Note that inhomogeneous sensibles are called those that are of different senses, like sweet and white. Contraries, however, are called those that are of the same sense. idem suss cadit super contraria, just as sight falls upon white and black, and taste upon sweet and bitter, and there is no difference in this, as the philosopher says in his letter. For just as changes in color and blackness come to the same end in terms of meaning, so changes in various senses come to the same end under different senses. Then when he says, \"Therefore,\" the philosopher here manifests the same proportion in general terms. His intention is based on two propositions and one conclusion. The first proposition is that the same proportion is sensible to the sensible, as the proportion of the phantasm to the phantasm is. For example, the same proportion is between white and black, as between the phantasm of white and the phantasm of black. And this proportion is not only in the sensible and the phantasm but in all things physical, for he places this proportion in general terms, saying that the same proportion is from the sensibles to the sensible object. The second proposition is that if a sensitive thing is related to another sensitive thing in the same way that a ghost is related to the ghost of the first sensitive thing, then, with a reversed proportion, the first sensitive thing will be related to its own ghost in the same way that the second sensitive thing is related to its own ghost. For instance, if white is related to black in the same way that the ghost of white is related to the ghost of black, it follows with a reversed proportion that white is related to its own ghost in the same way that black is related to its own ghost. And when he speaks of this second proposition, Phus in Lr\u0304a says why and in what way it is so. Thirdly, in what consists the one smooth Phi is one. Conclusion is drawn from the premise or the proposition. He said, the proportion is such that two similar things are to each other as two objects of the same kind are. From this it follows that if two sensibles are distinguished by one power, two phantasms are distinguished by one intellect, and this is because c and d, which are two phantasms, are exceptions to one. That is, they are judged by one intellectual power, just as a and b, which are two similar things, are judged. Just as a and b, which are two similar things, are in common. And just as the sus consonant is between two divine things, it is the same as that which is subject to it. Not the same, however, in the same way, that is, the intellect will have the same judgment regarding the two phantasms. In this judgment, there is nothing that makes those sensibles or phantasms heterogeneous or contrary, and this is what the text states. \"If that is the case and if white is pleasing to the palate and so on. That is, if white is placed in one location and black in another, they are contrary. But if white is placed in a sweet location and black in a white one, then sensations are not homogeneous, that is, they are not one sense. Whether it is an animal or a non-animal makes no difference.\n\nIt should be noted that the proportion between the four terms is such that the first is to the second, the third is to the fourth, and it is necessary that this follows, just as the first is to the third, the second is to the fourth. For example, as the binary number is to the quaternary number, the second is to the senarius, the tercius to the duodecimarius, and the quaternarius to the quartu.\n\nHowever, if it is thus arranged, as the binary number is to the senarius, the quaternarius is to another duodecimarius, the quaternarius contains three in the senarius, and the quaternarius contains three in the duodecimal.\" pri\u00a6mu\u0304 puta a ad sensibile secundu\u0304 pu\u2223ta b sicut fantasma primu\u0304 ad fantas\u00a6ma secundu\u0304 sequitur {quod} sicut se h\u0290 sensibile primu\u0304 ad fantasma {pro}priu\u0304 qnod fuit terciu\u0304\u00b7 ita se habet sensibi\u00a6le secundu\u0304 ad fantasma {pro}priu\u0304 quod fuit quartu\u0304. \u00b6Quereret aliquis quare phu\u0304s fecit mencionem de per\u00a6mutata {pro}portione cu\u0304 prima {pro}porcio sufficeret ad {pro}positu\u0304 {pro}bandu\u0304.

Thus it is said that something follows the motion of the sensible one, as a man senses something fleeting. For instance, fire drives away beings. The common one, that is, the one who is retreating, judges that it should be avoided, just as poison is. The one who encounters it finds that fire is harmful, seeing that it moves upwards or that there is nothing else to oppose it. Then he says. Sometimes something reveals that something follows the motion in absence of the sensible one and in the presence of a phantasm. And this is what he says: that something is not present to sensible beings but only in phantasms or intelligibles, which are in the soul. And he judges and says that it is there, either pleasant or sad. aliquid fugibile et imitatur aliquid immutabile. Queret quidquid sunt illa species quas intelligit intellectus in fantasmatibus, sicut phus inquit in larquod intelligit. Et omnino in actione postquam phus terminiuavit de intellectu in se. Et tria facit. Primo comparat intellectum speculativum ad intellectum practicum. Secundo ostendit quod intellectus noster intelligit mathematica ibi. Abstractione. Tertio excusat se a quaestione quae quaerit de intellectuale separatum, utrum intellectus intelligat separata. Primo ergo comparat intellectum speculativum et intellectum practicum. Ad cuius evidenciam non est quod intellectus fundatur super tria fundamenta. Primum fundamentum est quod cognitio practica et speculativa convergent. Quia quasi dividuntur per easdem differentias, sicut enim in practicis eadem est cognitio vera et falsa ita et in speculativis et econverso. Sic in speculativis est quaedam cognitio vera et quaedam falsa ita et in practicis. Ex quo sequitur. The intellect considers the true. The second foundation is that although the intellect considers the true, it does so differently. The intellect of speculation considers the true not for operating or acting, and therefore this true is called true in operation, that is, extended to action or operation. The third foundation is that just as the true in speculative cognition is that which is good for the intellect whether it is speculative or practical, the false of it is evil. It must be said that the good is first to be understood as the distinction of a thing from its end or perfection. Imagine a twofold distinction of a thing, one distinction of a thing from its exemplary form. And this distinction is the same as truth in any created thing. Every thing From this is true in its kind, the first one that obtains exemption, whether it changes its grade or not, whether the obtaining or imitation is the inducement or the hindrance. There is another inducement of being from its end or its perfection, and this makes it good. For whatever being is good because it obtains its perfection in its grade. Therefore, diverse obtainings or inducements are diverse beauties in things. If this is what is meant when it is said that it can be attained or perfected through cognition, whether the intellect is speculative or practical, it can be attained or perfected through cognition of the truth, the speculative intellect through cognition of the truth in itself, the practical intellect through cognition of the truth in relation to the work. If this is so, it follows that the goodness in both intellects is from this, that the intellect is indivisible from cognition of the truth. And I say that it was well said that the intellect is good. Manifestly it is in the same intellect from this that it is divided. The text appears to be written in Old Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of intentions and their role in cognition. Here is the cleaned text:\n\ncognitione veri et quia falsum est ex hac divisione vel est ipsa divisio bene dicta quod falsum est malu intellectus Seudo quereret aliquis ut lra iam dicta pos sed alter manifestari quam manifestata est. Dicendum est quod sic. Ad cuius evidencia supponende sunt duae suppositiones. Prima suppositio est quod intentiones intellectae sunt in duplici dras Quedam intenciones sunt intentiones que non ordinatur ad prosecutionem et fugam aut ad opus. Secundo autem sunt quedam intentiones que ordinatur ad prosecutione et fugam aut ad opus qualis est intentio norim et utiles sive bonae et malae primae intentiones dicuntur speculative. Duae dicuntur practica, id est ad praxism hoc est ad operationem ordinatam. Secunda suppositio est quod hae intentiones converiunt et drant. Conuemunt qui dem tam primas intentiones quam secundas accipiatur ab intellectu fantasmatibus. Quia intellectus nichil intelligit sine fantasmate et propter istam convergentiam dicuntur primae intentiones. This text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to discuss the concept of intentions in actions, distinguishing between those that are actual and those that are not. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"esse eiusdem generis sunt intentiones secundis in intellectu que dicuntur boni vel mali. Differunt autem primae intentiones, si similiter accipiuntur et ordinantur ad operabile perticulare. Visis his suppositionibus, praeter ordinius eius ad precedente lram. Dicitur enim in precedenti, quod ubique determinatur letum vel tristem fugit aut imitatur aut sequitur, ita est universalis in omni actione quod quedam intentiones ordinate sunt ad actum acceptum a fantasmatibus. Verum et intentiones vere vel falsae, quae non sunt actuales, sunt in eodem genere boni vel mali, scilicet in intentionibus bonis vel malis quae sunt intentiones actuales et practicae. Sicut prima intentiones intelliguntur in fantasmatibus et secundae. Licet hae intentiones sic conueniant et sic sint eiusdem generis.\" The text appears to be written in Old English or Latin with some missing characters. It is difficult to clean the text without knowing the exact language and context. However, based on the given instructions, I will attempt to clean the text as much as possible while sticking to the original content.\n\nThe text seems to be discussing the nature of abstract concepts and the role of the intellect in understanding them. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"simpliciter et a quodis. I.e., primary intentions are simple and not actual. Secondly, subsequent intentions are towards the act. He then says, abstracting. The intellect does not understand mathematics. Where it is noted that this law has its origin in precedents. It is said that the intellect receives what is natural from fantasmatis, i.e., the intellect of a thing mathematically. Our intellect understands the natural thing and the mathematical thing. When understanding a natural thing, the intellect does not abstract from matter sensibly. And this is what the law says, that the intellect understands what is simple, i.e., not separable from sensible matter. The intellect understands, i.e., concerns the nose in its definition. The intellect abstracts a mathematical thing from sensible matter, and this is what the law says, that if our intellect understands something in act rather than in potential, it understands something actual under the potential curiuum. It understands that thing without the flesh in which the potential curiuum is, i.e.\" intelligenct understands the curve, and the mind connects mathematics as if they were separate, though they concern or do not concern material things in their definition, as the intellect perceives them. It is to be noted that the curve is something in the nose, adding a disposition towards sensible matter. Therefore, it can be apprehended. In no way is the curve and this essence such that it is apprehended by the nose or the flesh. But if the curve were to concern the flesh in every way, all curves would be in the flesh, which is false. Similarly, if the curve were to concern the nose in every way, all curves would be in the nose, which is also false. Therefore, although the curve is not in the flesh, the intellect can conceive it. Before cleaning: preter intencionee carnis et hoc est quod diquir concernit isui diffinitioe quia simum est curuuu in naso et sic simum noe intelligitur sine materia sensibili. Et qd dcme est de simo intelligenduee est de qualibet re mathemaatica. \u00b6Quereret aliquis vtum res mathematice pnt abstrahi a materia sensibili videtur quod noe qr res mathematica in effectu hoc esse in materia sensibili abstrahere ergo res mathematicae a materia sensibili ea abstrahere et denudare ab esse in esse ctun omne auuq denudat ab esse in effectu corrutitur.

Ideo abstractio nihil aliud est quam distinctio certiillud ita.\n\nAfter cleaning: Before we discuss the nature of flesh and this is what concerns its definition, since a snout is a nose and a snout is not understood without sensible matter. And whatever is of the nature of the number is of mathematical things. \u00b6One might ask how to abstract a mathematical thing from sensible matter, it seems that a mathematical thing is not abstracted from sensible matter in fact, therefore a mathematical thing is abstracted and denuded from being in being in being, and when it is denuded from being in fact it is corrupted. For just as generation is not but to induce being in fact, so corruption is not but to denude being from fact \u00b6Furthermore, if a thing is in fact and understood in fact, it is clear that it understands itself \u00b6On the contrary, dcphil is in the lar. \u00b6To answer this question, it must be said that abstraction and separation differ only in this, that abstraction is not other than a distinction of certain things. Separately to understand this, it is to abstract a thing from existence in effect is to understand a thing not to be in effect. Separately, a thing is the same as to abstract as to understand a thing not to be in effect. But abstracting is not composed with composition, because abstracting, as such, does not say that a thing is not, nor that it is not. From these things it is clear how a mathematical thing can be abstracted from sensible matter, since the intention of the mathematical thing is different from the intention of sensible matter. But to perceive thus is the same as to abstract, as has been said above. A mathematical thing, separately perceiving, is false. Although the intellect could truly understand the essence of a mathematical thing without this [it] is, it cannot separately say \"this thing is not.\" Ad argumentum pmu arguet abstractio non tollit rei esse in effectu, corruptio tollit. Intelligere em quiditatem pter esse in effectu, non e sibi tollere, non est impossibile, quod duo sunt coniuncta, intellegere pter aliud.\n\nAd secundum argumentum, pquod litet intelligere seperatus, intellectus abstrahens uo mentit, dictu est em supra, inintelligibilia circa intelligiam non est falsum. Intellectus aute abstrahens est intellectus intelligens simplicia et indisibilia.\n\nDeinde dicit, utrum aute excusat se physica a solutione cuiusdam questionis, dicens quod vtrum contingat ipsum intellectum numquam sit partem magnitudinis, corpore. Intelligere quidquid separatum, quaedam substancia, non est considerandum, sed considerandum posterius.\n\nNotandum est quod res que cadunt sub intellectu sunt sub triplici differentia. Quae enim sunt que concernunt materiam sensibilem. When we come to the question of what things are in terms of their existence and definition, there are some things that are natural, others that concern matter only in existence but not in definition, and these are mathematical things. A third category consists of things that do not concern matter at all, neither in existence nor in definition, and these are metaphysical things. Regarding the first and second kinds of things, he did not see any difficulty for the intellect to understand them. But as for the third kind of things, he said that our intellect is not bound by magnitude, in the sense that it does not understand except abstract forms separate from sensible magnitude. This statement can be explained in two ways. In one way, our intellect is not bound by magnitude because it does not perceive a body and this has already been discussed. In another way, our intellect is not bound by magnitude because these things, whether natural or mathematical, are connected to sensible magnitude. abstrahirse podemos from these, and they are not connected to greatness in a sensible way and therefore, as it will appear, we cannot understand them as distinctly stated. Your intelligence will not comprehend except abstract forms from greatness. It should be noted that this question about substantial things should not have been discussed here, as it pertains to metaphysics. This question is not resolved by Aristotle or perhaps it was not fully completed in this book, or because he was preoccupied with death and did not finish or terminate this question.\n\nOne might ask for clarification regarding the matters that the author discusses in this passage concerning this question: about the position of Anaxagoras in the solution to this question, whether it is rational.\n\nTo this question, it is said that Anaxagoras posited that from the things that the intellect grasps here, it is possible to come to an understanding of substantial things. Anaxagoras' position is based on two things. fundam\u0304\u00a6ta\u00b7 Primu\u0304 fundamentu\u0304 {quod} intelle\u2223ctus nr\u0304 denudat et abstrahit quidi tate\u0304 ab habente quiditate\u0304.

It is said that the evidence for this is that the position of Alexander was based on three foundations. The first foundation is that the intellect is formed in habit when it is generated or made by the action of the agent and the possibility of reception. Alexander placed it that the possible intellect does not assimilate tables but rather adapts to disposition. In a table, the intellect and the following aptitude are related to intelligible things through complexion of elements, and therefore the intellect is generable and corruptible in this aptitude, which is the intellect acting as substance, makes intelligible forms in act. The second foundation is that this generation will have its complement, and this generation and the reason for it will not go into the infinite. Therefore, the intellect in potentiality in potency has its complement. The intellect is formed in act and the active intellect can understand both the separated and the unseparated. The intellect is more vigorous and more united to the object of the active intellect in virtue of which intelligible things are in act and an intellect is generated in habit. This vigor does not hinder the process of reaching the end of this vigor, and eventually the intellect in act will perfectly unite with the object of understanding and through it perfectly understand the separated. The third foundation is that the intellect acting on objects is drawn towards the intellect in habit in two ways, as an efficient cause and as a form. The intellect in habit is in potentiality and in generation and is united to the intellect acting on objects as an efficient cause. If it is perfectly generated and brought into being, it will be united to the form by which it can understand other separated things. The intellect acting on objects is beneath the separate substance, the one intelligizing other substances. \"Separate substances we seek to understand, and Alexander, from these foundations, was able to argue the eyes of the generations concerning their complements. Therefore, the intellect, which is generated, will have a complement when it is perfectly enlightened. But also, in order to understand separate substances through the form by which we perceive form, the intellect's complement argues that we understand separate substances. Perhaps Alexander argued thus: the intellect potential is disposed through contemplated intentions which it continually acquires, and since this disposition does not go on to infinity, the intellect potential is eventually united with the acting intellect through the extent to which it understands separate substances.\" Impossible, first, because if we understand the acting intellect as if it were a form, the intellect acting is either an actual or potential form. But if the intellect acting is an actual form for us, it is impossible for it to be an accident and a substance at the same time, since Alexander posited that the intellect acting is a substance. If, on the other hand, the intellect acting is united to us as a substantial form and it follows that it is one substance with man, this cannot be unless it is the soul or a part of it, unless Alexander posited that the intellect acting is a separate substance from man.\n\nSecond, Alexander erred because he considered the intellect acting to be a separate substance that is incorruptible, for the intellect is possible or in habit is corruptible and generable, but the eternal and incorruptible cannot be a form in a corruptible intellect in habit.\n\nThird, Alexander erred when he said, because the intellect acting is not a separate substance, since the intellect acting is not a separate substance from the man. All dispositions and generations have their complement. This is not the case in infinite numbers. It must be conceded that every generation and every disposition has a complement of its own kind. Therefore, the Intellect, which is capable of acquiring intelligible things, will have a complement of its own kind. There is no complement of its own kind that can be united to it as a separate subject by which it might intelligize, except this goes beyond its genus. A third question might be raised as to whether Auverroes' position in this matter is rational. The evidential basis for this is that Auverroes' position was founded on three principles. The first principle is that the first intelligibles or primary notions were not in us from study or investigation, but from the light of the intellect acting and therefore these first intelligibles are said to be in us after they have been made in us by the intellect and the intellect acting. After these first intelligibles have been made in us, two intelligibles are acquired by us. According to the study, conclusions and the active intellect are such that the active intellect, as well as the intellect in habit, converge towards the same action. According to the fundamental principle, one action is not of two unless it is compared to another, either as form to matter or as agent to instrument. Since one action is that of the active intellect and the first principles, or the intellect in habit, through primary concepts, it is necessary that the active intellect be compared to the intellect in habit through primary principles.\n\nOr, if the comparison is possible, as agent to instrument, or as form to matter, the question is whether Averroes' Intellectus Possibilis can be subordinate to this, and if the subordinate intellects and the intellects in speculation are the agents and the principles in speculation converge into one subordinate.\n\nIf they converge into one subordinate in this order, because one of them has something in relation to another. \"just as form conforms to matter, in that matter is more material and form more formal. Therefore, the prime matter, contemplated, conforms just as form to intellect, in that the intellect acting does not say or have the intellect acting towards contemplated objects as form conforms to matter, over and above the fact that the intellect acting is, in a way, the form of the contemplated objects. For this reason, the intellect acting is almost a form of the contemplated objects, since it follows that the contemplated objects are potential for you insofar as the intellect acting continues to be potential for us and the contemplated objects are in potency for us and in act for you. For instance, some contemplated objects have been made actual and others are in the process of being made and acquired. This is admonished for the continuation of those contemplated objects that have been made actual.\" The acting intellect is perfectly enclosed within us, enabling us to continuously understand separate substances. We are moved towards continuity by the acting intellect itself, i.e., the one that forms the end or the ultimate motion. The irrational Auerois is formless, firstly, because it places the possible intellect and the acting substance as separate, as it were. Secondly, because through this continuity which it has established, we are not given what we can understand. He said that the acting intellect and the intelligible forms are joined together in us as form is joined to matter. The intelligible and the forms are attracted to us through phantasms. It is certain from what has been said that phantasms are attracted to the possible intellect as colors are to sight, because the possible intellect is continuous with it, just as the sight is not given the ability to see without color. fantasmata is not given to us, that we may understand; it is certain that the phantasms themselves have a relation to the acting intellect, just as colors have to light. But a stone's color does not give light to itself, and therefore the intellect, acting upon us, is not given to us through phantasms. Furthermore, the substance of phantasms is not given to us, for this reason, the soul of Avicenna says:\n\nNevertheless, after nature had determined both sensation and intellect. From these statements, concerning both sensation and intellect, it concludes what the soul is. First, it finds that the soul is that by which all things are sensed, insofar as they are. Second, it shows that one soul depends on another, as intellect on sense. But there is no thing. Therefore, it first proved that the soul is that by which all things are sensed. Secondly, it showed how all things are sensed by it. It is necessary. The first proves this about the soul through two reasons concerning its own intellect. secunda peris ibi. Secantur autee. Prima ratione ad probandum quod anima sit omnia. Fundatur autee hec ratio super duo fundamenta. Primum fundamentum est quod omne ens vel est sensibile vel intelligibile, ita quod intelligibile et sensibile evacuant totam entis ambitum. Secundum fundamentum est quod anima per sensum potest fieri omnia sensibilia. Per intellectu potest fieri omnia intelligibilia. Ex quo sequitur per primum fundamentum quod omnia possunt fieri. Quia ut dictum est in primo fundamento, omne ens vel est sensibile vel intelligibile. Et hoc est quod dicitur, quod quod dicimus de anima, anima quodammodo est omnia. Omnia enim sunt aut sunt sensibilia vel intelligibilia. Anima autem est ipsa intelligibilia et hoc quia scientia est intellectus sciens fit ipsa scibilia. Intelligibilia sensus autem fit ipsa sensibilia. Qualiter ante intellectus fit ipsa intelligibilia, dicendum est post Deinde cum dicit. Section one: The second reason can also be such. Those things that have the same divisions are identical. Both matter and form are of the same division, therefore they are identical in some way. The greater supposes that matter has more power than truth. The lesser places it in the intellect and sense. That is, they are divided in the same way as matter is divided into potentiality and act, and intellect and sense are divided in the same way. Intelligence and sense, which are in potentiality, are ordered to the knowable and sensible things that are in potentiality. Intelligence and sense, which are in act, are ordered to intelligible and sensible things that are in act. From this it follows that the soul, which can both sense and understand, is in potentiality. These sensible and intelligible things are such that sense is in potentiality sensible and intellect is in potentiality intelligible and capable of being known. One might ask, whether the soul is divided like matter. It is to be noted that the following text is in Latin. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"It is to be noted that the soul, in order to be made known, it is to be understood that the soul can be verified in many ways. Firstly, in the same way that a thing is divided into matter and form, so too is the soul: for, as it is said, in the soul there is something like matter or similar to matter, and this is the possible intellect. And there is something similar to form. This is the very contemplation or intellect or intending contemplation. And there is something composed. As in the intellect, we say the intellect is contemplative. Secondly, this word can be verified in the following way. For dividing things, some are sensible and intelligible; every thing is either sensible or intelligible, just as a thing is divided into the sensible and the intelligible, so too the soul is divided into substance and intellect, so that it could become sensible through substance and could become all things intelligible through intellect.\" We will imagine that the soul can be corrupted by all external things, and that it is corrupted differently by different things, according to the senses or the intellect. In the third place, it can be verified that the statement is true, because just as a thing is divided by potency and act, so too is the soul. It should be noted that, just as the sensible is divided by potency and act, so too is the soul. For just as the sensible is potentially something that can move itself and actually moves something else, so too the soul potentially moves something and is actually moved by something, and potency and act argue for potency and act in the sensible and for the fact that what is said of the sensible is said of the intelligible in the intellect, or just as the intellect understands an intelligible thing potentially and actually understands it. Therefore, the intellect potentially understands something and actually understands it intellectually.\n\nSecondly, someone might ask: if the soul and things are of the same kind, does it follow that the soul and things are the same? The text appears to be written in an old form of Latin, likely from the Middle Ages. I will translate and clean it as faithfully as possible to the original content.\n\nThe text reads: \"posset fieri omnia ita quod sit unum cuusque. Dicendum est quod sic et hoc primo. Quasi attendamus primum modum verificandi praedicam propositionem. Primum autem modus est quod, sicut res dividit in materiam formam et compositum ita in anima est aliquid simile materiae aliquid simile formae et aliquid simile compositum. Ex hoc autem quod in rebus est materia sequitur quod ibi est aliquid quod potest fieri omnis forma materialis in effectu. Ex hoc quod anima est aliquid simile materiae sequitur quod ibi est aliquid quod potest esse omnia et si non in effectu et ea rei in conceptu et intentionalis et sicut prima divisio arguet quod omnis forma materialis potest esse unum cuusque, dando sibi esse realiter et esse in effectu. Ita divisio secunda arguet quod omnis forma materialis potest esse unum ipsa anima quantum ad esse intentionis, non autem dando sibi ipsum esse in effectu, sed abstrahendo ipsam animam ad.\"\n\nCleaned text: \"It is possible for all things to be one for each. This must be said first. For, as we consider the first way to verify the stated proposition, the first way is that, just as a thing separates matter from form and composes it in such a way that in the soul there is something similar to matter, something similar to form, and something similar to the composite. From this, since in things there is matter, it follows that there is something that can become all material forms in effect. From this, since the soul is similar to matter, there is something that can be all things and, if not in effect and in this thing in concept and intentionality, and as the first division argues, all material forms can be one for each, by giving it a real existence and existence in effect. Therefore, the second division argues that all material forms can be one with the soul itself, in terms of intentional existence, not by giving it existence in effect, but by abstracting the soul itself.\" secundum perceptionem quod est sentire et intelligere. In the second place, the same thing is clear concerning the second mode of verifying the propositions. Secundus autem fuit quod, just as being divides and separates through the intelligible and sensible, so also aia divides and separates through intellectus et sum. From this, and similar divisions and propositions, aia separates through sum and intelligibili. In order that one thing may be one thing to the whole et qualibet drama sui, it is necessary that per sum fiat unum et per intelligibili fiat unum.\n\nTertio hoc ideo tercius modus verificandi propositiones. Suus autem est prudus modus, quod, just as res divides per potentia et actu, ita et aia hoc modum patit quod querit.\n\nAd quem evidentiae notandum est, quod impossibile est quod aliqoud dividatur per easdem dras nisi aliquo modo sit uni cuius dras dividetes sunt. Sic et aliae et aliae dras argumentant aliud et alid diuidum ita, dras argumentant idem diuidum cuus ergo. aia et res dividantur per easde dras scrz per potencia et actu oz quod aliquo modo sint una. hoc autem unum sic est quod ex intencione intellecta fit unum propter qua unitate duae intenciones sunt intellectae in potencia et intellectus intelligit in potencia et duae intenciones sunt intellectae in actu et intellectus intelligit in actu ex quo potentia et actus que dividunt intencionem dividunt intellectum et eodem modo intencionem sensatam in potencia idem est sensum esse in potentia et intencionem sensatam in actu idem est sensum esse in actu. et ideo intencionem esse sensatam in potencia idem est sensum esse in potentia et intencionem sensatam in actu idem est sensum esse in actu. Et ideo materia et forma fit unum et ideo dum materia est in potentia ad perfici per formam et forma est in potentia ad perficiendum ita quod dicere quod materia est in potentia est dicere quod forma est infra potentiam materialis. Eodem modo intellectus vel sensus est in potentia ut perficiatur per intenciones intellectas. The text appears to be in Latin and contains no meaningful introductions or modern English translations. It appears to be a philosophical discussion about the nature of potentiality and actuality, and the role of the intellect in understanding them. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nsenatus idem est dicere quod intellectus potentiales sunt in potentia ad perficiendum, et hoc est dicere quod haec sunt in actu, vel ista sint in actu. Tertio quaeritur, utrum anima sit omnia intelligibilia sensibilia intellectus possibilis an intellectus agentis.\n\nDe hac questione duo declaranda sunt. Primum quod nihil est in potentia activa quod non sit aliquo modo in potentia passiva cuius ratio est, quia potentia passiva nihil est nisi in habitudine ad actum. Ideo potentia passiva potest fieri hoc quia potentia activa hoc facere potest. Si enim potentia passiva posset fieri et non est datur potentia activa quae hoc facere potest, potentia passiva haec sit ociosa, quia nihil posse deducitur ad actum cum passio non ducitur ad actum, nisi per actum.\n\nCum ergo. intellectus possibilis should consider what is possible to the intellect as potential is to the passive. It is impossible for something to be beneath the possible, as nothing can be beneath the active intellect. If therefore this is a certain thing that is intelligible to potential intellect and not to the active intellect, then we must declare this. From this it is clear that this thing is in fact in the thing itself or in the thing's power to make itself similar to the intelligible.\n\nNext, it says. Necessarily, something is understood in one way. And first, this is understood in one way. Secondly, from this, it concludes with what conclusion is there. Why then,\n\nFour fundamental things underlie this, either sense or philosophy, founded on two foundations. The first foundation is that a thing is intelligible because there are certain ways of being in a thing. According to the second foundation, either it is real in the thing or it is not. The text appears to be written in Old Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of the soul and its relation to forms or intentions. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nintercelleular not in animam semper esse, ergo esse in animam semper intellectuelle, quod quidam vocat dimunitionem. Concludit ergo quod animam vel esse unam cum omnibus, non sumus semper idem, sed semper esse intellectualis et quamquam fundamentum dictit physica in larva quod necessest quod ipsa hoc sit quod ipse res sunt unum cum affectibus vel sint in animam aut necessest quod species. Ipsae rerum intellectus non sunt in animam sed species lapidis deinde dicit. Quare idem. Concludit ex dictis quod animam est idem, ex hoc autem concludit physica quod in hoc quod est idem assimilatur manibus. Quia sicut manus est organum organorum, ita anima est organum sensuum. Hoc est quod dicit larva quare quia animam dias esse sicut manus, assimilat manibus. Manus enim non data est organum organorum. \"The soul is a form for all organs and intelligent for all species. That is, the soul is a form given to man in place of all species and intelligible forms. And sense is given to man in place of all sensibles. It should be noted that the soul assimilates to the hand because the hand is one of its organs, and man makes all his organs and instruments through the hand. Therefore, it is called the hand's instrument. Likewise, the aspect of the physis is a certain kind of being that moves all beings, and therefore it is said that physis is the form of forms in the intelligible realm. That is, it is the form that shapes all intelligibles, just as the hand shapes all organs, and in the same way, it is the form of forms in the sensible realm.\"\n\n\"It should be noted that if the soul were entirely active, it could create in this way through its own activity.\" seipsa intenciones optima esset inter aiam & manum, quas per virtute sua pud fabricare, itaque potest se facere ossa esse intentiones. Queret aliquis sui per hoc verbo. Non emim lapis est in aia et cetera. Utrum species formative in aia vel tem expressive. Ad hoc questionem posset hoc triplex modus dicere: Qui dant emim dicunt quod pter actu intelligenti sunt species intellectus possibilis, ita quod intellectus possibilis primo informatur speciebus, postea elicit actu intelligendi. Et de talibus eos dictus est in lra quod lapis non est in aima, sed species lapidis. Hanc ante positionem confirmat trius ratione. Prima ratio fundatur supra duo fundamenta. Primum fundamentum est quod fantasma aut intelligibile hoc ratione moventis. In intellectus autem possibilis hoc ratione movetur. Et hoc fundamentum movetur ex praecedentibus, ubi dictum fuit quod sicut se hoc fantasma ad intellectum movendo, ipsum movet. The fundamental is that which moves and ought to be moved at the same time. This fundamental holds from many places, even the greatest among physical things. Therefore, the object of understanding is movable, and the intellect is capable of motion. Because the object of understanding and the capable intellect are simultaneous. There is no place where the object of understanding exists in essence, but rather through its species, which supplies its place and moves the possible intellect in understanding.\n\nThe second argument is based on the same thing. The first foundation is that a thing in potentiality does not act or cooperate in acting unless it is actualized in act. The second foundation is the intellect as potential, just as a thing is above, therefore it does not act or is cooperated in acting unless it is actualized. In act, it does not come to be unless it is actualized. The text appears to be written in an old form of Latin, likely from a philosophical work. I will translate it into modern English while preserving the original meaning as much as possible. I will also remove unnecessary symbols and formatting.\n\nThe text reads: \"Per species, we see that what is intellectually possible can be formed into a concept of a thing, for if the intellect is possible, it can act in such a way that it is no longer just potential being. The third reason is also based on these two foundations. The first foundation is that the intellect is greater in power than the senses, which is clear in itself. The second foundation is that in some sensory faculties, the species is conserved even when they are not sensed. Therefore, there are more species in the intellect, and when it does not understand something, there is one way of speaking about it and it is quite common: just as the lapis [stone] is present to the intellect, so are the species of things. The second way is different. To which kind of declaration are these two suppositions to be applied. The first supposition is that the phantasm in the power of the acting intellect moves the intellect that is capable. It moves it either because the intellect is actually moved by it or because it is moved by something else.\" You are asking for the cleaned version of the given text. Here is the text with unnecessary content removed and modern English translation:\n\nThe virtuous intellect presents itself to an intellect capable of receiving it under the consideration of a certain quiddity, and not under any other consideration. In this way, it moves the intellect. The second supposition is that this intention, which moves the intellect in this way, can be called a likeness and a species of the thing is imagined in the one who has the thing. The thing has two aspects, one in effect and the other in matter perceptible, and this is what the phusis in lr\u0304a says the stone is in the soul. The stone is not in the soul, but the thing itself is present under the light of the acting intellect and this is called being in the intention or likeness, and these things are in the soul not informatively as the first opinion said, but more expressively, for the thing expresses itself in the possible intellect in virtue of the light, not as it is in effect but as it is. The intellectual intention or the thing itself is called the species of the stone in the intellect. possibilem {pro}ut est sub lu\u00a6mine intellectns agentis vel ip\u0304a mo\u00a6tio facta in intellectu ab ipsa inte\u0304cio\u00a6ne mouente. \u00b6Si quis vult sequi hunc modum dicendi patet {quod} verifi\u00a6cari p\u0304t verbu\u0304 phi\u0304 sc\u0290 {quod} lapis n\u0304 est in anima sed species lapidis. patet eciam {quod} mouens & mota sunt simul no\u0304 em\u0304 omms simultas est {per} infor\u2223matione\u0304 sed ad hanc simultate\u0304 suffi\u00a6cit {quod} inte\u0304cio vt e\u0304 simul cu\u0304 lu\u0304ie suffi\u00a6cienter moueat et intellectus possi\u2223bilis sufficienter moneat.

Tercius The following text is in Latin and requires translation and some correction. Here's the cleaned version:\n\n\"Modus dicendi est aliquorum de quo facta est materia in capite de intellectu agente. Dicunt enim aliqui quod intellectus in praesentia facit fantasmatum in se ipso intellctione, nec operatur quod fiat ab fantasmatis aut actio vitalis non est nisi ab principio vivente. Intellectus autem facit in se ipso assimilat intellectionem omnibus intelligibilibus, et sic hoc modo dicendi salvetur verbum phi. Quod lapis est in anima, species enim et similitudo aliqua vocatur ipsa actio. Sic et visus est species visibilis. Quia enim visus per visionem assimilatur rei visibili, ita et intellectus per intelligendi actum assimilatur rebus. Intellectus ergo facit in se intellectionem, facit in similitudines intelligibiles, quae sunt similitudines rerum datae in hoc aevo.\"\n\nThis text discusses the nature of intellect and its relationship to fantasies and the principles of similarity and perception. It argues that the intellect creates its own understanding and likenesses of things, rather than deriving them from fantasies or external sources. The text also uses the example of vision and the formation of a visual image to illustrate the intellectual process. The text was likely written in Latin and may have some errors due to OCR processing. virtue passive is not something that is merely a thing. It is that which aids and does not have any real existence. The first [thing] it mentions is that which is aia is a finding, and it mentions that intellect depends on it and fantasy and makes two things. Furthermore, it shows that our understanding is different from fantasy, despite this dependence. However, fantasy is a thing.\n\nFirst, it shows that our understanding depends on fantasy and on sensibles. Sense is founded on one foundation. From this foundation, a conclusion is drawn. The foundation is that nothing intellectual for us is separate from sensibility, whether it is a small or large thing. Although the intellect could abstract it from sensibility,\n\nHowever, a small sensory thing that is understood by us is in the realm of sensibility. The magnitude of the sensory thing is not beyond the senses. Therefore, our knowledge arises from this one foundation. From this foundation, a conclusion is drawn that is that nothing. sensices know nothing, learn nothing else. Since knowledge arises from itself, as it is said, it is necessary that, if it is lacking in something, knowledge itself is lacking. And this is what is said to be the case, that if one thing is lacking in it, one science is lacking. Therefore, the foundation is placed at the beginning, and a conclusion is put there. And for this reason, the senses, since nothing sensible is perceived by them beyond the magnitudes that are sensibly perceptible and separated from them, as they appear to be separated, therefore intelligible things are so. That is, things that are intelligible to us, whether they are mathematical things abstracted from sensible matter or habits and passions, or material things that concern sensible matter in species, that is, they have magnitude and sensible form.\n\nFurthermore, since it says that the senses do not perceive anything intelligible, from the given foundation it concludes its conclusion, saying that therefore, nothing is intelligible. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the difference between sensible things (things that can be perceived through the senses) and fantasms (things that are not material). Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Peter follows sensible magnanimity, since he is not sensing or learning anything new or understanding. But something is revealed to the intellect, which at the same time presents itself as a phantasm when a phantasm is in the place of sensible things. Phantasms, however, are unlike sensibles because sensibles are in matter, while phantasms are without matter. It should be noted that things in the intellect are divided into two categories. Some things in the intellect concern sensible matter and are called by philosophers in letters habits and passions of sensible things. Others are in the intellect in their own definition and are not called abstracta or primary intelligibles by philosophers, because intelligibles are in species distinct from one another. It should be noted further that sensibles and phantasms come together and differ in that, just as a person does not sense anything without something sensible stimulating the senses, so a person perceives nothing without a phantasm in its place.\" The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the nature of fantasy and the distinction between it and the intellect. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Intellectus drivent animas sensibilia exigent materialia, producens fantasmas abstrahunt a praesentia materialis. Notandum est tercio: fantasma appellat duobus modis. Unus modus appellat fantasma idolum vel imago, quod impellitur in organo fantasie. Secundus modus appellatur ipsum fantasma operatio, ut utis ea operatione, et de ista operatione hic philosophus prius loquitur, quod necessestas est ad fantasma fari. Deinde dicit: Est autem fantasia. Ponit differentiam inter intellectum et fantasiam sive operationem intellectus et operationem fantasie. Operatio intellectus dicitur duobus modis: uno modo operatio compositio et divisio. Et ideo primo ostendit quod haec operatio non est operatio fantasie. Secundo modo dicit operatio intellectus apprehensio indivisibilium, et ideo secundo ostendit quod haec operatio non est operatio fantasie. Prima ante intellectum: Quatuor ad primum dicit quod fantasia est altum a divisio et negatione.\" The operation of the imagination is different from that of the intellect, whether it is positing or denying. The reason for this is that concerning the intellect that denies or posits, it is true or false. Composition and division are true or false. But the imagination itself is neither true nor false. It should be noted that an idol in the imagination neither asserts that a thing is nor that it is not, hence when we are in a state of imagination we do not say that it is or is not, and consequently we do not say true or false. However, the intellect, when it composes and divides, asserts that a thing is or is not, and therefore it says true or false.\n\nFurthermore, the first intellect posits that the operation of the intellect, which is the apprehension of indivisibles, is not an operation of the imagination or of fantasy. And first, he raises the question: what would someone ask in this matter, regarding what the difference is between the intellect and the fantasies?\n\nThen he solves the question by saying that neither are those intellects fantasies, but rather they are void of fantasies.\n\nHowever, the soul, after the philosopher spoke about it, also has... In this part, he wants to speak about the part of the soul that is motivating and has two aspects. First, he sets forth his intention. Second, the same intention is pursued there. He has a doubt.\n\nHe founds his argument on two foundations. The first foundation is that a thing cannot be perfectly known unless it is known through its parts. The second foundation is that there are two potential parts that are distinguished from the inpotentials. The first potential is the discrete or cognitive potential, which is the intellect or the self. The second potential is the motivating potential, and this is necessary because a thing cannot be perfectly known unless it knows these two parts itself. The first part, the cognitive potential, has already been given notice in the preceding texts. Therefore, it remains to give notice of the second part, which is the motivating potential, as he says.\n\nWhat are these potentials defined as? est ab antiquis duas potentias et semper una est discretio sive cognitio. Discretion is necessary both intellectually and sensually. Another thing is required, to move some place which is known to be motivated by a power other than the one in question. This raises questions about the nature of motivated power, whether it is persistent or changeable, and whether it is distinguishable from others in magnitude, location, or reason. It is necessary to consider whether motivated power is the entire soul or only a part of it. And if it is a part of the soul, it is necessary to consider whether there is another part that has been called by the ancients and that is called by us. Or is it one of them that Deinon speaks of. He has doubts. Here follows his intuition and he does two things. First, he refutes the division of the powers, namely, what they were giving. Second, he shows that power is power. Motiva ibi. Sed de motu loqui. Prima in duas quas primum ponit divisiones poteciarum, quidae dabant. Secundo improbat positione istorum id dividendo potecias anime ibi. Quatuor ergo ad primum quod volenti loqui de potecijs anime & de pertus potecialiis anime statim occurtit dubium quomodo oper distinguere pertes anime et quid sint. Modo enim pertes anime videantur esse infinitae, i.e., neque potest comprehendi sub alio certo numero. Immo huiusmodi excedunt num quidam in dividendo potecias anime dederunt. Quidem enim determinaverunt de materia, i.e., dividentes animam per pertes poteciales dividuert eam in rationalem et irrationalem et appetitivam. Vocatur autem irrationalis irrationalis irascibilis. Autem appetitiva est concupiscibilis, ita quod ipsi dividentes animam racionalem et irrationalem et appetitivam dividuerunt eam rationalem concupiscibilem et irascibilem. Quidam autem dividentes animam per suas pertes. potentials divide them into rational and irrational, and into those having reason and those not. It is important to note that potentials are integral in various ways, being integral to the whole integral and subject to the universal. And they are potential in the potential and, for these diverse modes, physics in the book says that if someone wants to divide the parts of the aether and water, and to understand how many parts there are, he should ask what kind of parts they are, whether they are subjective or integral or potential.\n\nSomeone might ask what potentials are infinite. It must be said that potentials are distinguished by acts and acts are distinguished by objections. Objections are in a dual sense: material and formal. Therefore, if someone wants to distinguish potentials through material objects, it follows that potentials are infinite. However, they are not materially infinite. \"The appetite and how many things are there that have the potential to be seen, so many things have the potential to be perceived intellectually. Imagination was pondered, perhaps because material things are multiplied, and the potential powers are multiplied, and false imaginations are as if infinite. But the reason why the forms of objects move the powers is finite, while the material things that participate in these forms infinitely are not. An example, light is one form that moves the sight in material things that cannot participate in light infinitely. If the powers multiplied, forms would not follow that they are infinite. If, however, forms were multiplied through participation, it follows that they are infinite. Then, concerning the division of powers, he proves it through distinct divisions and divides them into four parts, which he opposes to the aforementioned parts. Second, there is the appetitive one. Third, there is the appetitive one. Fourth, there is the appetitive one.\" Et eciam de quo nu\u0304c sermo. Ponit ergo prima\u0304 ro\u0304ne\u0304 que ro\u0304fundat su{per} duos sillo\u2223gismos.

Vegetative things are in all plants and sensitive things are in all animals, more so. And among these, there is nothing mild made by them. For the second syllogism, as physical things are in a layer in this way, sensitive things are not mildly made. In the second division, whatever it is, no one, i.e., no one can easily put it or understand it as irrational or as a rhyme, and it is not comprehensible under the second division and through the connection of the second division. Therefore, someone who wants to argue against the first syllogism, which the division of pma was committing an error by omitting the major division, should omit it. It is said that the division of pma was committing an error in two ways. First, because it did not evacuate the whole divided Divine, whether this division of theirs is a rational and irrational or inscrutable division and an appreciation. {con}cupiscibi le no\u0304 euacuat ai\u0304am simpliciter Est em\u0304 dare anima\u0304 vegetatiua\u0304 in pla\u0304tis que nec est ro\u0304nalis nec irracionalis siue irascibilis vel {con}cupiscibilis hec em\u0304 diuisio no\u0304 euacuat om\u0304es poteu\u2223cias anime. pote\u0304cia em\u0304 sensitiua nec est pote\u0304cia racionalis uec pote\u0304cia co\u0304\u2223cupiscibilis seu irascibilis. cui{us} ro\u0304 est qr pote\u0304cia sensitiua {con}putat inter pote\u0304cias {con}p\u0304hensiuas.

Here's the cleaned text:\n\nsic. Quod primum ethicorum philosophis quidam agit de virtutibus, dividit potencias animam per racionale et irracionale. Ad oppositum, Philosophi in libris dixerunt, quod duabus viae potest hanc divisionem esse insufficientem. Prima via est si attendimus duos modos animam dividi. Unus modus dividit animam per subjecta, scilicet quod anima vegetabilis non est sensibilis, quia vegetativa est in plantis, sensibilis autem in animalibus. Et hoc argumentum diversitatis substantiae in anima divisis. Quia alia substantiae anime in plantis et alia in animalibus est. Alio modo potest animam dividi per species obiectorum et actuum, et hoc modo dividitur animam per potencias, ita quod haec divisio non argumentum diversitatis in substantia et essentia, sed solum argumentum diversitatis in viribus et potentiais. Quia haec divisio ponit unam substantiam dividi per potenciales substantiale partes, scilicet quod anima est una cum habet diversas potentias.\n\nAd propositum ergo. (Translation: According to some ethical philosophers, the soul is discussed in terms of virtues and it is divided into rational and irrational parts. On the contrary, philosophers in their writings have said that this division can be insufficient in two ways. The first way is if we consider the two ways the soul is divided. One way divides the soul by its subjects, that is, the soul of the living being is not sensitive, since it is vegetative in plants, but sensitive in animals. And this division argues for the diversity of substance in the divided soul. For there is one substance of the soul in plants and another in animals. Another way the soul can be divided is by the objects and acts, and in this way the soul is divided into powers, so that this division does not argue for the diversity of substance and essence, but only for the diversity of powers and potentialities. For the division posits one substance divided into substantial potential parts, that is, the soul is one while having various potentialities.) This text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the distinction between rational and irrational divisions. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nhec divisio quae est per rationale et irrationale. Ex quo sequitur, quod erat insufficient. Quidquidque omittebat in prima divisione maior enim. Secundo, hoc erat divisio huius et illius et non hoc simpliciter. Hoc est, quod arguit una essentia et diversas vires aut diversas potentias. Hec ergo divisio quae est per rationale et irrationale, cujus sit per potentias, arguit unam essentiam. Nulle autem est una essentia quae contineat potentiam rationalem et irrationalem nisi hoc humana. Quod sequitur, hoc divisio est naturae humanae, non simpliciter et per consensu, et insufficient est, quia non attingit animam simpliciter, hoc est, quod dicit physis in larva. Quod suiita in animalibus et vegetativa in plantis nec est rationalis nec irrationalis, nisi sensitiva in animalibus et vegetativa in plantis ubi attingit animam humanae, per consensum nec attingit rationalem nec irrationalem, quae dividunt hanc animam. et sic prima via Secunda via videt esse via, que dicit hac divisione ee insufficiet. Quia sicut Sus nec est irrationalis, quia est aliquid comprehendens, nec de habitibus ratione quia ratio non est in omnibus animalibus in quibus est Sus. Si diceret cometator potencia sensitiva non concernitur infra istam divisionem, ergo divisio est insufficiens. Imaginari videtur cometator, quod per rationalem intellectum potencia intellectualis per irrationalem intelligitur, aut intelligit potencia que nullo modo comprehendit, nec perticipare comprehensiouem aliquo modo. Inter potentiam autem que est intellectus et potentiam que nullo modo comprehendit, est dare potentiam medium, scilicet potentiam sensitivam, que aliquo modo comprehendet, licet non comprehendat sicut intellectus. Ideo hec talis potentia non comprehenditur infra istam.\n\nHence, the cometator who divides anima in hoc duo difficile poterit ponere in utraque istarum virtutum multas. verba. The text appears to be in Latin and deals with the distinction between rational and irrational faculties of the human soul according to Aristotle. Here's the cleaned text:\n\ngracia sensus materiales et imaginationem. Est ea advertere quod, quod dictum est, per irrationalia intelligitur virtus non comprehendens. Hoc ideo dictum est quia forte haec divisio secunda eadem est cum prima. Quia hi sequuti intenderant reducere divisionem primam tripartitam ad bipartitam. Erat autem prima divisio in rationalem irascibilem et concupiscibilem. Secunda divisio vero per rationale et irrationale comprehendens sub irrationali concupiscibile et irascibile. Et quia concupiscibile et irascibile sunt virtutes non comprehendentes, sequitur etiam quod in rationali sit virtus non comprehendens.\n\nAd argumentum dicendum est quod Aristoteles in ethicis solum intendebat dividere animam hominis non curans de anima simpliceter. Quereret aliquis, utrum rationale et irrationale sufficienter dividunt potestates animae humanae. Dicendum est quod, cuus ratio est, quia omnis potentiae animae humanae vel est irrationalis simpliciter, vocatur autem irrationalis simpliciter, vel rationalis et irationalis. est ronalis pertinaciter quid est, aut nutritius vel rationalis per essentiam, aut rationalis qua participationem, omnes potentiae anime comprehendunt, et si rationalis commune est ad rationali per essentiam et participationem. Rationale et irrationale comprehendunt omnes potentiae anime. Si rationalis solum comprehendat rationali per essentiam, inter rationale et irrationale est dare medium qua participatione. Deinde dicit: Adhuc et fantastica. Secunda ratio directe videtur contra quod, quod adhuc et fantastica, quae ronae sunt altera ab obsis alis, habet magnam dubitationem cui harum potentiarum sit eadem vel altera. Maxime si quis consensens Platoni ponat animas subiectas, loco et magnitudine. Notandu is it if the rational desire and the angry or irritable part of a person are completely separated from one another and from all others. In such a case, the division will be insufficient because it will not contain the power of fantasy from which the fantasy is separated, and one part of the reason and intention will be divided from the other. And because the rational angry or irritable and the concupiscent parts are other than the fantasies and intentions and in place and magnitude, they will not contain it at all. This is what the philosopher says.\n\nIf someone places the parts of the soul separately, the division will have greater doubt. Then, furthermore, he puts forward a third reason. specialiter videt contra primam divisionem. Ad quem evidencia est, quod prima divisio dividebat appetitivum contra irascibilem et ratiocinativum, as if appetitivum contained nothing within irascibile and rational, since it is entirely false that appetite is in reason. In rationali est voluntas, voluntas autem est appetitus intellectus. Irascibilis est quidam appetitus. Hic modus dividendi peccabat. Quia solam concupiscibilem appellabat appetitum. Et si appetitus solum salvetur in concupiscibili, et non solum in irascibili et rationali. Hoc videtur praeterea, quod ratio appetitus solum salvet in concupiscibili, non solum in rationali et irascibili, quia incohueniens est, seque separare hanc ratione appetitus a rationali et irascibili. Et hoc quia in rationibus ratiocinativis. The will is a rational potency. The will is itself an appetite and is saved in the rational potency; it is also saved in the irascible. For in the irrational potency there is concupiscence, that is, the concupiscible and anger, the irascible. Both the irascible and the concupiscible are a certain appetite, since if the soul were to be divided into three parts, there would be the rational, the concupiscible, and the irascible. The soul itself is also tripartite, consisting of the rational appetite, the irascible appetite, and the concupiscible appetite. It is to be noted that the nature seems to imagine a twofold appetite, that is, the rational appetite which is called the will, and from this it is said that in the rational potency there is the will and the sensitive or irrational appetite. And from this appetite is distinguished the concupiscible and the irascible. Both the concupiscible and the irascible can be called an appetite. The concupiscible appetite desires the pleasant through sense. Irascible indeed seeks a difficult matter. Then, when he says \"And what of that which is now mentioned?\" He puts forth a reasonable argument against the aforementioned divisions, and his reasoning is as follows. The motivating power that is now mentioned supplies a argument against those divisions. It is not yet clear from what principle such a motion arises, nor is it clear what principle causes its increase and decrease. It is clear, however, that the principle of increase and decrease must exist, being common to all living things, whether vegetative or generative. Some changes in animals, however, such as respiration and inspiration, sleep and wakefulness, require further discussion, as they have great doubt attached to their principles.\n\nNote that the term \"motive power\" is used in two ways. It is called \"motive power acting\" in one sense, and \"motive power of appetite\" in another. In the former sense, motive power is the power that commands motion; in the latter sense, it is the motive power of appetite, for it commands motion in the sense of desiring it. If we call the motive power \"motive power\" in the aforementioned contexts, it should be understood in the former sense. diuisionibus\nfacta est mencio de potencia motiua quia in eis facta fuit mencio de ap\u2223petitiua licet no\u0304 sufficienter vt dictu\u0304 est.

Secondly, it is to be seen what these powers are. A man's soul is created on the boundary of the intellectual and sensual, and therefore the powers and potesties through which it reaches the sensible and intelligible are both necessary. Since the soul is the last in the intellects, and since intellect is the last, it is necessary that it have intellectual power flowing from itself. Since it is the last, it is necessary that it have certain powers through which it reaches bodies, and thus in the soul the powers run in a double distinction: one power that is not fixed to an organ and is not a virtue in the body, and this intellectual power, as was said above, is immixed; and another power that is a virtue in the body, that is, one that is attached to the corporeal organ. It is also clear in the soul that there are many powers. Furthermore, it is clear that: Ipsa is not entirely composed of powers. Some of these powers flow from it and are not virtues in the body, while others are virtues in the body. The former is clear in the first place. Regarding the second point, it should be noted that the distinction of powers and their number can be perceived through acts and objects. This is because objects are superior and have greater degrees and powers.\n\nThe number of these powers is taken as follows. Some powers have their primary exercise on the body that is connected to them, and this is the power of growth. Others have their exercise on distant beings, and these are the apprehensive powers that apprehend not only connected beings but also distant ones. These powers are in a double difference. Some powers apprehend only sensible beings and this is the power of sense and sensory apprehension, as was stated above that all things become sensible through sense. Some powers apprehend intelligible beings. This text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to be discussing the various faculties of the intellect. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nhec vocatur parte intellectus, de qua dictum est supra, quod anima per intellectum fit omnia intelligibilia. Ad potentiam autem apprehensionis sequitur potentia appetitiva, quia duas apprehenditur formas sub ratione cognitionis vel conveniens, statim subsequitur fuga vel desiderium. Fugere autem vel desiderare sunt petites appetitives. Ad appetitus autem sequitur potentia motoria, quia locum cuius ratio est appetitus, aut imperat motu appetitus aut executus est. Habemus autem in universali quinque genera potentiarum: vegetative, sensitiva, intellectiva, appetitiva, motiva. Sic plures potentiae sunt in una anima.\n\nAd argumentandi incipiendi dicendum est, quod licet essentia animae sit una, tamen eo ipso quod est in confinio sensibilis et intelligibilis habet duos aspectus. Unum aspectum habet ad sensibilia, quem aspectum habet potentiae quae sunt virtutes in corpore; habet autem ad intelligibilia aspectum intellectus.\n\nViso quod sunt quinque. The following text describes two types of potencies in vegetation: one for preservation of the individual, called the nutritive potency, and another for increasing the quantity of the individual, called the augmentative potency. A third potency is mentioned, which can subdivide the sensory-perceptible potency into the external and internal senses. This third potency is called the generative potency. It is necessary for an animal to perceive a thing both when it is present through external senses and when it is absent through internal senses. If animals cannot perceive things in this way, they cannot exist. Animals do not always have a connection or presence conjoined with them, and therefore they are moved towards distant and absent things. This is not otherwise than when they apprehend the absent thing, for appetite and motion follow the necessary apprehension. Regarding the subdivision of internal senses, it should be noted that the internal senses turn towards the forms received from the external senses, which some call intensions. The intensions are useful or harmful, depending on the intentions they move, and the internal senses turn towards these intentions, such as the intention of friendship or enmity. If the internal senses turn towards sensed intentions:\n\nThe internal senses turn towards sensed intentions in the same way that the intention of sweetness turns towards sweet things, and similarly for other intentions. This text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to be discussing the functions of the mind in perception and memory. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"This is how it is in apprehending and such is the commotion that apprehends all sensed intentions or this is in retaining and such is the imagination that retains the idol of a thing and this in the absence of the thing. And these two powers are in the anterior part of the brain. But if the inner sense turns towards intentions added to the senses, this is in apprehending such intentions and such is the estimative. We see that an eye shuns a lamp not because of the indecency of its color or figure, but because it judges itself to be harmful. Or this is in retaining such intentions and such is the memorial. And these two are estimative and memorial in the posterior part of the brain. Some put in the middle part of the brain a power versus the estimative power, which they call fantasy or the cognitive power, which has the ability to compose a form with a form or intention with intention, such as composing the imagined form of gold with the imagined form of a mountain.\" fantasiam ur montem aureum et hoc sunt quinque poeteiae interiores. sensus communis. imaginationis fantasia. existimatio et memoratio.\n\nQuarto quisque vult um tercium genus poeteiae quid est apprehendi intellectui sub dividatur. Dicendum quod.\n\nAd cuius evidenciam natandum est quod intellectus primaria divisio dividitur in intellectu qui est omnia fieri et hic est intellectus possibilis, et in intellectu qui est omnia facere et hic est intellectus agens.\n\nIntellectus autem possibilis aliquid dicit intellectus possibilis ex eo quod potest omnia fieri, quia est ens in potentia, ut dictum est supra. Cuus autem intellectus possibilis fuerit factus ipse in intelligibilia, dicitur intellectus in actu vel habitu. In habitu quemquam patus considerare licet actu non consideret. Intellectus autem in actu quidquid actu considerat. Ex quo patet quod eadem poeteia que vocatur possibilis, ut est nuda ab intelligibilibus, vocatur intellectus in habitu vel in actu factus. vel in actu fuerit facta ipsa. The intelligence or the intellect is called intellectus, whether in disposition or in action. Note that the same intellect, which is possible and makes things intelligible, is sometimes called ratio. For the intellect itself becomes something intelligible without discourse and study, and it is called intellectus when it seeks to become intelligible through discourse, and ratio when it seeks conclusions from the virtues of these intelligibles. Regarding the fifth question, one might ask whether the fourth kind of power, which is appetite, can be divided further. In response to this question, it is clear from what has been said in the earlier text that there are two kinds of appetite, one of the intellect and the other the will, and they are the same in power but differ in free will. And the sensuous appetite, which follows the form apprehended through sense, is divided into the irascible and concupiscible. This is antecedently. The text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to be discussing the concepts of concupiscible and irascible in relation to good and evil. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"subdiuisione concupiscibilis et irascibilis quid sic accipiunt, concupiscibilis ordinatur ad prosecutionem boni, irascibilis autem ad fugam mali. Sed sic accipientes, non bene accipiunt, sicut idem visus est respectu albi et nigri, eadem concupiscibilis respectu boni et mali, quia de ratione eorum est prosequi conveniens et fugere noxiis. Dicendum est ergo, quod concupiscibilis respectu boni delectabilis. Irascibilis autem respectu boni ardui et ideo irascibilis est propugnatrix concupiscibilis. Possible est enim, quod in delectabili ad quod tendit concupiscibilis, est quidam arduitas. Propter quam arduitatem recedere concupiscibilis a delectabili nisi esset irascibilis, quia surgit in arduum. Et ideo irascibilis necessaria est, propter quas sunt potentiae anime.\n\nDe motu autem, quod fuit quid tempus, non movet questionem, quia remanet indeterminatum et cetera.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"The concupiscible and irascible, what do they mean to take, the concupiscible is ordered towards the pursuit of good, the irascible towards the flight from evil. But they do not well receive these things, as the same is seen in relation to white and black, the concupiscible in relation to good and evil, since it is appropriate for them to pursue the good and flee from evil. Therefore, it should be said that the concupiscible is desirable in relation to the good. The irascible, however, in relation to the good, is ardent and therefore the irascible is the fighter of the concupiscible. It is possible that in the delectable to which the concupiscible tends, there is some ardor. Because of this ardor, the concupiscible would withdraw from the delectable unless it were irascible, since it rises up to a height. And therefore, the irascible is necessary, because of the powers of the soul.\n\nAs for the motion itself, what time it was, I do not raise the question, since it remains indeterminate and other things.\" The first point shows that such a principle is not a vegetative power. The second point shows that it is not a sensitive power. Similarly, it is not a sensory power. The third point shows that it is not an intellectual power. However, the fourth point shows that it is not an appetitive power. Nor is there any appetite. The first reason for this is that where there is only a vegetative power without sense and appetite, it cannot cause motion. A greater force is required than what is known. The smaller force, which is that where there is only a vegetative power, there is no motion, was refuted by positing two foundations. The first foundation is that every progressive motion is. animal is something that is beyond something that is outside of it and distant from it. Therefore, that which is in the moving body is either fantasy or sense that perceives such an absence, which is outside of the animal. There is an appetite which desires to unite with that which is absent. Sensation and fantasy, and appetite are absent where there is only vegetation. Therefore, it alone does not move. This is worth considering, what moves the animal without a process of motion. It is clear that that which moves is not the power of vegetation, because this processional motion is always for something else and therefore this motion argues for a fantasy that perceives something for the sake of which there is motion. It argues for the appetite which desires that something, for nothing moves except by the processional motion, unless perhaps violence is absent in this mode of exposition. Similarly, he also says that there is no sensitivity. I prove that vegetation is not a moving power.

Et sicut de timendo ita dico de delectabili et leqr talibus, consideratio ordinatur ad sciendum & non ad movendum. Quod tamen ad talem consideratione sequitur motus, ut si quis vellet scirecialiter ostendere verum doctrinale quod est in venereis aliquid, sequitur motus concupiscentiae vel motus genitalium, quae tamen non sequitur propter considerationem intellectus: sed quia prona ad talem motum annexa est rei considerate et hoc est quod dicit L.r.a. phi. Quod aliquis intellectus non iuvet movere aut prosequi vel timere. Et tamen cor vel alia pers movetur scaurus per accensos.\n\nSecundum modo, ista irratione agibilium et non solum scibilium considerantur in practica et ab intellectu practico et hoc etiam modo. consideratur ut ordinet ad motum, quia intellectus tunc iubet movi, puta si considerat delectabile, iubet prosequi. Si autem considerat noxium, iubet fugere, et sic patet (quod) phus verum dixit: quod intellectus speculativus non considerat agibilia, et quid dixit: quod considerat agibilia. Considerat enim agibilia speculative et non practicamente. Secundo quaeret aliquis: quare philosophus dixit in libris (quod) si delectabile movet appetitum, alia pars corde movetur. Dicendum est (quod) hoc dixit sic Platonis opinionem posuit: quod partes animae sunt distincte subiecto et magnitudine, ita posuit irascibilem in corde et propter hoc philosophus in litteris dixit: quod aliquando ad intellectus terminorum sequitur motus cordis. Concupiscibilem autem posuit in aliqua alia parte corporis, puta in epate. Et ideo philosophus sequens hanc opinionem dixit in litteris: quando delectabile movet appetitum, scilicet concupiscencie movetur aliqua alia pars a corde. Deinde cum dicit: Amplius et precipiente, probat quod intellectus practicus non sufficienter movet. Fundatur enim probatio sua super duas veritas. Prima veritas est quod posita sufficienti causa ponitur effectus. Ex qua veritate sequitur quod intellectus practicus non est sufficiens causa motus, quia posito intellectu practico sequitur motus.\n\nSecunda veritas super quam fundatur philosophus est quod aliquando intellectus practicus precipit hoc esse faciendum vel non faciendum, et tamen non sequitur motus. Quia homo non sequitur iudicium intellectus practici, sed magis concupisciam, quae contraria est iudicio huius intellectus.\n\nEx quo sequitur quod intellectus practicus non est sufficientis causa hoc est, quod dicit: \"Quod aliquid intelligitur, intellectus practicus non movetur, sed homo ad iudicium intellectus, sed magis agit concupiscencias que contraria sunt iudicio in intellectu.\"\n\nExemplum in incontenente: Incontinens homo. rational and right judgment tell them, for they should not follow delight beyond the rule of reason, but this judgment does not follow, but rather is opposed to the rule of the rational. An example is given in the case of the sick who do not act according to the art and science of healing, but rather follow their desires. From this it follows that practical science is more proper to one than another and not to science in general. One might ask, what is practical science more proper to and not to? To this it must be said that the reason for practical science is that it is the rule of another and not the rule of itself, and therefore he to whom it is a rule is to act according to that rule. The reason for this practical science is that it is the rule of appetites or operations external, and therefore it is either the appetite or the actively operating power that engages in practical science. We will consider, furthermore, that just as medicine is arranged. The text appears to be in Latin and contains several errors, likely due to OCR processing. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nregimen corporis ita se philosophia vel scientia moralis ad opera morum. Sicut omnis operatio que introducit sanitatem debet regulari secundum regulam artis medicine, ita omnis appetitus et omnis operatio moralis debet regulari secundum scientiam moralem aut scientiam practicam, quam dicimus rectam rationem aut prudentiam. Deinde cum dicit, \"At vero neque appetitus probat quod appetitus non est causa sufficiens motus, et est ideo sua ratio in brevi talis.\" Si appetitus dominaretur in motu posito, appetitu poneretur et motus, quod tamen falsum est. Quia multi in motu suo non sequuntur rationem rectam. Videamus enim quod continentes appetunt et concupiscunt, utamen sequuntur appetitum. Sed iudicium rationis et hoc est quod dicit, \"Quod neque appetitus est huius motus, quod patimus abstinentes sunt appetentes et concupiscentes non operantur ea quorum habeunt appetitum, sed sequuntur intellectum.\"\n\nNotandum est, philosophus in ratione precedenti non negat quin. (Note: This text is in Latin and translates to: \"The regimen of the body should be governed in the same way by philosophy or moral science as by the rules of morals. For every operation that introduces health must be regulated according to the rule of medical art, and likewise every appetite and every moral operation must be regulated according to moral science or practical science, which we call right reason or prudence. Then, when it says, \"But appetite does not prove that appetite is not a sufficient cause of motion, and its reason is therefore brief.\" If appetite ruled in a motion that has stopped, appetite would be imposed and the motion, which is indeed false. For many do not follow right reason in their actions. We see, for example, that the continent desire and are concupiscent, yet they follow the appetite. But the judgment of reason and this is what it says, \"That appetite is not the cause of this motion, for those who abstain are desiring and concupiscent, but they do not act on the things they desire, but follow the intellect.\")\n\nNote: This text is a translation of the original Latin text, which may contain errors due to the OCR process. The translation attempts to remain faithful to the original text while making it readable in modern English. intellectus practicus is a cause of motion in some way, but it is not a sufficient cause. Because the intellectus practicus and appetitus conjunctly demonstrate a sufficient cause below.\n\nThese two moving principles are understood to be different. In the former, it is understood what one is. And in the latter, it is understood what is the principal mover. The second is understood to be this principal mover in the most distinct way in those things. I indeed believe that the first two are the movers, as the former understands what the principal mover is. The second teaches in order that the motion is completed, which is directed towards movers and mobiles there.\n\nMoreover, it is to be noted for the evidence of the first that the intellectus is not the principium motus, nor is it the appetitus. But both co-operate in such a way that these two moving principles are reduced to one and the same, and the intellectus and the appetitus make up the three principles of motion, placing the intellectus practicus and appetitus first as the principles of motion.\n\nIntellectus autem tercio reducit hec duo principia ad unum ibi. Appetibile. Quas soon as I say, there appear to be two moving things: appetite and intellect. And I say this, if someone has placed fancies, as it were, in place of intelligence. That is necessary because many men, having knowledge taken away, follow their fancies in their actions. For instance, one does not act according to right reason. In some animals, there is neither reason nor intellect to set a limit to motion, but there is fantasy. And so fantasy is a mover, yet it is in some way comprehended under intellect, and thus there are two movers: appetite and intellect.\n\nOne might ask. The philosopher said that fantasy must be comprehended under intellect. It must be said, as was stated above. The processive motion of animals is ordered to attain something appetible that is outside the animal and distant from it. However, in order for animals to move towards attaining this appetible thing, it must be presented to them. It is presented to them. autem aliquando per intellectum practicum aliquando per fantasiam et ideo aliquando ad motum concurrit intellectus praesentens appetibile. Aliquando autem concurrit fantasia. Non solum autem oportet ad causandum motum per quem animalia sequuntur sua appetibilia, quod praesentatur appetibile. Sed etiam oportet quod animalia inclinentur in appetibile, que inclinatio est per appetitum sensitivum et intellectivum, et sic ad motum concurrit appetitus. Siquis ergo numeret fantasiam contra intellectum, erunt tria movere: fantasia, intellectus, et appetitus. Siquis autem sub intellectu comprehendat fantasiam, erunt tantum duo movere: intellectus et appetitus. Deinde, cum dicit \"Intellectus autem,\" probat quod dixit, quia ad motum concurrit intellectus practicus et appetitus, et ideo hoc probat de intellectu primo, de appetitu secundo, et appetitus etiam concludit conclusionem intendam ibi. Quare rationaliter. The practical intellect can therefore be proven to be such. This practical intellect strives to cause the movements or actions of a man who reasons about movements and actions, that is, whether men should move or operate, or not. But the practical intellect is of this kind because it differs from speculation in that it reasons about operations, which the speculative does not. Therefore, the practical intellect strives to cause movement. And this is why the practical intellect strives to cause movement, because the intellect which is also practical reasons not only to reason but for something operable, and this because the practical differs from the speculative in its end. The speculative contemplates truth for the sake of knowing, but the practical contemplates truth for the sake of operation.\n\nOne might ask how the practical intellect reasons about movements and actions. It should be said that: The intelligent practitioner demonstrates and receives the operable or active not in appearance but from a syllogism, taking some greater known thing in his syllogism. Under this greater thing, he assumes the lesser and concludes that it is to be overcome. For example, the intelligent practitioner says that it is all wrong to avoid the ugly. This is the greater thing. Then he assumes the lesser, saying but this is wrong, violation of another's property. Then he concludes that this is to be avoided and thus the intelligent practitioner receives the avoidance of something from his syllogism. For instance, he receives the command, \"Parents are to be honored.\" Then he assumes the lesser, \"This is a father,\" therefore it is to be honored. But note that the lesser which is assumed under the greater is not well assumed. Because the corrupted appetite or the desire for concupiscence are not well taken in, and reason is obscured and a vicious method follows, even though there is no error in the greater. However, there is an error in the lesser for which all evil is called ignorance in the teachings of the philosopher in ethics. An inconclusive example. accipit hanc maiorem omne turpe est fugiendum, sed violationem alieni thori uon accipit ut turpe, sicut debuit facere in minori. Sed accipit ut delectabile et ut consonum appetitui, corrupto ideo concludit esse faciendum et non fugiendum.\n\nQuereret aliquis quomodo differt intellectus speculativus et intellectus practicus. Dicendum est enim quod triplex differencia potest dari inter intellectum speculativum et intellectum practicum. Prima enim differencia est quod finis intellectus practici est extra ipsum, Finis autem speculativi est in ipso. Ad cuius evidencia intelligendum est quod intellectus practicus duobus modis est. Unus enim intellectus practicus factius, qui ordinatur ad faciendum aliud extra et huic finis vel opus operatu vel ipsum opus in se operatu, sicut in artibus factivis relinquit aliqoud operatu extra, qualis est ars fabricandi. Faber enim non intehet fabricare, sed pro gloria vel pro alio. The following text is in Latin and requires translation and some cleaning:\n\npecu\u0304ias. Opus est atque agi finis in his artibus, quibus nihil relinquimus operatu sicut prudens in arte musicali, in qua cantus et melos est ultimus finis, quod exercetur in agendo. Alio modo intellectus practicus intellectus activus. Cuius finis est regulatio appetitus aut finis operatio perfecta, hoc est virtute hoc vel illa. Finis aut intellectus speculativus est in ipso et non ex ipso. Queritur enim intellectus speculativus speculari propter perfectionem sui ut perficiat scientiis. Intellectus autem practicus protectus est ad aliquid extra aut quaerit speculatione propter perfectionem sui. Sed propter perfectionem alterius Secunda autem est quia intellectus non speculativus causat res quae ei sunt\n\nCleaned text:\n\nThe completion of practical skills in the arts is the goal, leaving nothing behind in our efforts, as a prudent person does in the art of music, where the final goal is the performance of the song and melody. Intellectus practicus, the active intellect, has a different end. Its end is the regulation of appetite or the perfect operation, which is this or that virtue. The end of the speculative intellect is in itself and not outside of it. For the speculative intellect seeks to contemplate for the sake of its own perfection, so that it may perfect the sciences. However, the practical intellect is protected from something external or it seeks perfection for the sake of another. Secondly, the intellect that is not speculative causes things to be. subiciut et ideo iste intellectus dur measurare rebus. Intellectus aut practicus dur causa rei quae subijcitur et io dur measura rei. Tertia datur ab aliquibus, quod forma que est in iiscellus speculativio vocatur forma abstractiois, quod intellectus speculativus ut sic abstrahit ab esse in effectu, nec ea compaat intellectus ad operatione effectuale forma aut que est in intellectu practico vocat forma compositois. Eo quod intellectus practicus intellectus forma quae est in conceptu querit ponere in effectu et suo modo interdit eam ponere cuperet vel operato. Deinde dico. Appetitus. Probat quod intellectus practicus concurrit ad causandum motum. Hoc ideo probat de appetitu et pter eius probatio sua talis brevis. Illa potestas que est posterius operationis et appetit finem motus vel operationis uniri mobili vel opposito coerit ad causandum motum talis autem est appetitus. Omnis appetitus est posterius aliquid. Iuxta aliquid finem vel appetibile conducit.

Et c'est ainsi. \"\"\"\n\nCleaned Text:\n\nIf you see someone who has this desirable thing, it is the principle or end of practical syllogisms. In a practical syllogism, the principle of action is this. It is what initiates the practical operation. Moreover, it is reasonable for this to be so. It is concluded by an intellectual reason, for when the practical intellect and appetite collaborate to cause a movement, it happens that practical intelligence and appetite are two movements. It is important to note that appetite does not desire for the sake of desiring, but for the sake of what it desires, and if what it desires cannot be reached except by approaching what is desirable, appetite cannot reach what is desirable except by moving towards it or acting upon it, because what is desirable is distant from the one who desires it. Appetite acts and is organized and instrumented to be movable and to operate, and it collaborates in the movement. And it has been said by Pherecydes that appetite seeks something. And this is so. causa motus: quod appetitus inclinat in aliquid & appetit id uniri, et quia appetit uniri impetrat motum mediately, quodquisque queret quid verum est, quod phus scit appetibile et finis cuius est appetitus est principium sillogismi practici. Dicendum est, itellus practicus duobus modis concurrit ad causandum motum. Primo motuondo appetibile quod est finis motus & propter hoc ipsum agit ipsum appetibili. Secundo itellus practicus concurrit ad causandum motum, quia postquam appetitus appetit uniri appetibili, ponit. Itellus practicus silogisando et deliberando querit vias et modos per quas posset appetitus uniri appetibili invenire. Inuenis autem modis et viis imperat operari vel moveri. Ex quibus prudens itellus practicus in ratiocinando et silogisando supponit appetibile super cuius suppositione fundat totum sillogismum suum, et sic appetibile est principium sillogismi practici, ita quod eodem modo se hoc finis et appetibilia invenire. practicis as principles are in speculativis. In speculativis, from the position of principles, we seek conclusions. And similarly, in practicis, from supposition, we seek what is necessary for the end. I also say that what is necessary for the end was concluded. Therefore, what is necessary for the end should be such things. Secundo, if someone asks what the verum is that the phus in lra ultimately signifies in practicis, it is to be said that, just as the intellectus practicus in the preceding question understands the end through intentions or subsequent actions, so the end which was in conceptus could become actual in effect, and from these things which are necessary for the end, the operation begins to operate in order to introduce the intended end from these things. But nevertheless, these things which are necessary for the end are last introduced, unless for the sake of the end they are introduced. This text appears to be written in an old Latin script, and it seems to be discussing the process of resolving a practical syllogism. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"This is the beginning of an operation in which the end is reached, that is, what follows is the ultimate intention when we begin to consider and perform actions. Let us imagine that you want to introduce a practical syllogism into the end of an operation. It proceeds in a resolutive manner, in which resolution becomes a matter of reaching the ultimate from which it begins to operate. For example, a craftsman begins to resolve that a house cannot be made unless there are walls. Walls cannot be had unless they are cooked or something similar, and thus the resolution leads to something from which it begins to operate. Appetible indeed, after having found that there are two principles, intellect and appetite, this reduces them to one and makes four. First, it makes clear what is meant. Second, from this it assigns what is related to the practical syllogism there.\" Intelligentia quidem therefore proposes a third division of potencies, which the ancients placed there: Divide them, he says, in the fourth; he solved the objection raised there. Whoever desires, makes about two things. First, he sets his intention. Second, he proposes it there. If not two, then the first sets his intention, which although intelligence and desire are two movements, can be reduced to one. It is reduced to the appetible. The appetible moves desire. Desire, in turn, moves the practical intellect as the reason for the motions and operations through which desire follows the appetible. And so, what is appetible is the first mover in what is moved, reducing both intellect and desire to the appetible. In the idea, fantasy is reduced. appetitus is moved by fantasy or appetite. Appetitus in turn moves if it is appealing. Thus, one moving thing is only appealing. He then says, \"If there are two intellects and appetites.\" He proved what he said. For he said that intellect and appetite are reduced to the appealing. The foundation of his proof is based on two things. The first is that two moving things do not converge into one motion unless they are united in some way, so that one moving thing is reduced to another. The reason for this foundation is that one effect and one motion come from one cause, or if there are two causes, they are proportionate to each other. And from this foundation it follows that if intelligences are two, they are united by one reason. This is either because the intellect is reduced to appetite or because appetite is reduced to intellect. The second foundation is that intellect is reduced more to appetite than vice versa. The following is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Consumers. Intelligence does not move unless determined by appetite. Appetite is inclined towards the appetible and is attracted to it. The one desiring therefore unites intellect to it, in order to be able to unite with it. As for the first foundation, the philosopher says that if appetite and intellect moved, there must be something that they move towards. Therefore, either intellect moves under the influence of appetite or the consumer. Appetite, in turn, is under the influence of intellect.\n\nRegarding the second foundation, the philosopher says that intellect does not move without appetite. Since intellect is determined by the will, and the will is an appetitive rational being, whatever is moved by reason is moved by will. Appetite, however, is not moved by reason alone. Desire is the appetite that follows incontinently and deviates from reason.\" The given text appears to be written in an ancient Latin script. I will translate it into modern English while maintaining the original content as faithfully as possible.\n\nreason therefore a man assigns a nature. He says that intellect or science, practical, is drawn towards opposites. If it is drawn towards opposites, it does not move more towards one opposite than another unless this determination is made by it. Let us imagine, therefore, that a practical intellect introduces a means to an end in its deliberations, which it seeks more to introduce than another. This is because it is more attracted to this end than to another, since the practical intellect is more inclined to seek this means because of the end, rather than the other means. And so, the operation of the practical intellect presupposes an appetite. An appetite, however, presupposes that which it moves and thus reduces everything to that which is appetible. It should be understood that one kind of appetite presupposes intellect because the appetite is inclined towards the appetible presented by the intellect. And another kind of motion presupposes the intellect. The intellect, seeking what is for the end that it can,\n\nCleaned Text:\n\nReason therefore a man assigns a nature.

Therefore, he seeks this rather than that, because he desires the end more than that. Then, when he says, \"Intellectus autem,\" he shows the reason why something happens in our actions, because sometimes we err in acting or choosing. The cause of this error is not the intellect, which is always right at its source, but rather fantasy or appetite, which is sometimes right and sometimes not. And the same is true of reason. Sometimes reason is right and sometimes not. Reason moves the appetite with what is appetible, but what is appetible sometimes moves the appetite for the good when the appetite follows right judgment. And then the appetite is right. Sometimes what appears good is not really good when the appetite desires something that opposes right reason. And then the appetite is not right. est rectus Ymaeginabimur enim quod illud bonum, quod movet appetitum ut prosequatur vel fugiat, non est omne bonum, sed est bonum accidentale, id est agibile; tale autem bonum est bonum contingens, quod contingit aliter se habere, et ideo aliquando illud quod appetitur est rectum & aliquando non. Potentia que movet est appetitus.\n\nQuereret aliquis utrum intellectus practicus semper est rectus. Dicendu est.\n\nAd cuius evidentia ponenda sunt duo fundamenta. Primum fundamentum est quod oculus intellectus rationicus versat circa quae principia ex quibus suppositis et intellectis rocinatur de conclusionibus. Et querit conclusiones practicas, hoc est in intellectu activo quam in intellectu factivo. Intellectus activus autem qui ex regula actionis moralis honoraverit ea vere pertines honandos, iuste est prosequi.\n\nEx his principiis elicito conclusiones dicendo: Iuste est prosequi et hoc. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical passage. I will translate it into modern English while maintaining its original content as faithfully as possible.\n\nest iustum ergo est procedendum. In intellectu quicquid practicum est, hoc suo principio quod in edificiis gravia poniuntur infra et levia supra et similia. Ex principiis hoc ipsum intellectus factus elicet conclusiones. Secundum fundamentum est quod principia sunt manifestissima in se, ideo circa ea nihil erratur. Sunt enim principia quasi ianua in domo, ut scientia in principiis, sia speculativis sia practicis, statim propter sui manifestationem offerunt se volenti acquirere scientiam. Ideo propter maximam manifestationem talia principia intellectus nec factus nec activus errat. Quod intellectus semper est rectus, intellectus potentia practica habituata, primorum principiorum, sia illa principia sint principia intellectus activi sia sint principia intellectus passim.\n\nThis translates to:\n\nTherefore, it is just to proceed. In the intellect, whatever is practical has its principle, which is heavy below and light above and similar. From these principles, the intellect, being made, draws conclusions. According to the second principle, things are most manifest in themselves, and therefore no error occurs around them. For they are like doors in a house, and science in principles, whether speculative or practical, immediately offers itself to those willing to acquire knowledge because of their manifestation. Therefore, the intellect, neither factual nor active, does not err regarding such principles. That the intellect is always right, the intellect's practical potency being habituated to the first principles, whether these principles are the principles of the active intellect or the principles of the intellect in general. \u00b6Secundo quereret aliquis vt{rum} {pro}pter intel\u2223lectu\u0304 no\u0304 rectu\u0304 vel fantasia\u0304 non recta\u0304 aliqua\u0304do no\u0304 sit rectitudo in sillogiza\u0304 do vel in operatione practica.

A corrupt appetite corrupts judgment, making what is not good appear good. Therefore, the philosopher in the minor premise assumes that what is good is desired, and similarly, a corrupt imagination makes what is not good appear good. And so, as Plato said, \"appetite is right and not right, and imagination is right and not right.\" For rightness in action follows from both appetite and imagination at times. Then, when he says, \"Divide among yourselves,\" he excludes those who divided the soul according to rational desire and anger and has his own opinion that division among them is insufficient because they do not comprehend all the parts of the soul under this division. Insufficient is this opinion because it mentions things that differ less, omitting the parts of the soul that differ more.\" (What the dividers say) \"tes animas in rationales cupiditas lem et irascibilis. It is said that if one intends to divide and separate tes animas, there are many other tes animas that differ more than the aforementioned. Vegetables are sensible and intellectual and consolable and appetitive are tes animas that are more consolable and irascible than the aforementioned. It should be noted that the power of the consolable and irascible is not divided against the intellectual as a power against a power. The same power that is intellectual is also consolable. But the reason for this division is that the intellectual power is respecting of necessary things and, therefore, it does not consolate anyone of the necessities. It is respecting of contingent future things and, therefore, this power is called consolatiua and he who is consoled is consoled by contingent things. And so we imagine that the same intellectual power, respecting of necessary things, is called scientific, respecting of contingent things, it is called consolatiua.\"\n\n\"Deinde\" (Deinde means \"furthermore\" or \"additionally\" in Latin) The following text describes an argument that solves the objection raised against the claim that appetite moves the rational faculty. The philosopher has already determined that appetite moves, and this argument resolves the issue by explaining that although sensory appetite does not follow the appetite itself, it follows the intellect, which in turn follows judgment. This is evident because the intellect is moved by the appetite intellectualis. This contradiction between sensory appetite and intellect arises when reason, or judgment, is opposed to concupiscence, or sensory appetite. This contradiction does not occur in all animals but only in those possessing a sense of time, i.e., those who can recognize temporal differences. Consequently, humans not only consider the present but also the future. In humans, the intellect sometimes recedes from the senses. aliquo delectabili propter considerationem futuri. Just as a feverish person seems to abstain from wine lest the fever grow worse. Concupiscence incites one to desire something delightful {proter ipsum}, not considering the future. It seems to itself, if one is desiring {quod}, that what is present is delightful and good, and this is what it considers, the future.\n\nIt should be noted that the sentence \"sententia philosophi de contrarietate appettitus\" is founded upon two truths. The first truth is that, according to reason, it has some temporal aspect, i.e., that it cognizes all things in time in such a way that it can confer one thing upon another from the collection that follows. The second truth is that one is commanded to follow one thing {proter futurum} and to flee from another.\n\nThe second truth implies a contradiction in appetites. Appetitus is an intellectual one that follows judicium, ordering reason to withdraw something from someone because of future desires. This same reason also bids desire to follow because of the present. It should be noted that in the case it seems to create a drama between the good and the nuclus and bonum simply. Ratio, however, is such that the good simply is what is always good. Every drama, therefore, should be considered as if it is always good in itself. The good, like nuclus, looks primarily at the sense in such a way that it is not good unless it is in the present and makes no distinction of time. In another way, it can be called good simply that is where bonum is such that it is simply where it is to be and thus good as it is called now, not where it is good but in the case it is good. For example, not returning a deposit, such as a sword, is good in the case where the one to whom it should be returned has become furious and thus the good indicates universality of time and sometimes universality of place and that it is. vtrumquique modum bonum ut nunc compositum est, simplex est. Species idem, therefore, bonum, postquam philosophus de principio motus processus determinavit. In this part, he acts concerning the order of this motion. And he makes three points. First, he shows how motions can be called one and many. Second, he orders these three in relation to the mover there. Since there are three, thirdly, he summarily determines the instrument or organ required for motion there. Now, however, in summary. Quod reducuntur in appetibile sunt unum, ita quod quodammodo sunt unum inquanum induunt unius formalitatem appetibile materialiter at suum. Et hoc est quod dicit lra, scilicet quod si motus considerentur formaliter et specie inquam induunt formalitate et specie unum. Mouens erit unum appetibile vel appetitiuum, ita quod primum movens ipsum appetibile movet appetibile, ut imaginatur in intellectu, et ita movet quod non movet movere autem materia materialiter. In such cases, there are not more than one thing to be considered regarding change in procession, whether in a simple or complex species. The order of account is called that which happens according to the one who first undergoes the change, such as the stone that undergoes the change, or the martyr who undergoes the change. In such cases, the secondary does not move by its own power, nor does it introduce a new form or species, but rather follows the order of the primary in a subordinate way, since it is induced to move only by the power of the primary and in the same form and species as the primary. Another order is the essential order. It is called the essential order because the second essentiality depends on the first and moves only in virtue of them. Therefore, they only move insofar as they are induced to move by the primary and in the same form and species as the primary, and in essentially ordered secondary causes, the secondary follows what is in motion of the primary and moves only insofar as it is moved by the primary. \"Species are as they are posited. Animals that move and are appetible are essentially subordinate to a soul that is moved by appetite. The soul is moved by appetite in an essential order, moved by the appetible because appetite and the appetible are essentially subordinate. A thing moves an animal by appetite. Appetite moves in an essential order from the appetible because appetite and the appetible are two moving things materialistically speaking. Secundo quaeritur whether this essential order is one or two reasons. They say that this essential order receives in one genus a cause in effect, in final, in formal, or in material. In effect, it is so called that the essential order is in causes effecting and moving. Quod secundaria non efficit neque movet nisi in virtue praemium. And of this essential order there are two in metaphysics. In which.\" The essential order is that which brings about the first cause and is fundamental in its conclusion. We say that those things which are directed towards the end do not move towards it except in the virtue of the end. Just as a potion does not reveal its power except in the virtue of its foundation, and the virtue which is ordered towards happiness does not move except in the virtue of happiness. In this essential order, it is clear that there are many things that are one in respect to the end. Although they may be many in reality, they are one insofar as they induce the form of the end.\n\nThe essential order is also essential only in form. In the same way that we say that living according to the essential order supposes being and speaking about it is the commander, in the first proposition about causes, explaining the essence of being and man. Being is supposed to be from man, and therefore it is a vehement species insofar as it induces the species of one here, this essential order is in matter. Matter is being in potentiality, secondary or received, which is induced by virtue. The following text describes the essential relationship between different causes, matter, form, and efficiency in one genre. We say that causes are essentially subordinate. In this way, material beings depend on form as an ens in potentia depends on actus. However, form essentially depends on efficiency because matter is under form and essence. Efficiency, in turn, essentially implies an end because it introduces form into matter through motion. The end, in turn, does not admit another cause because it is the cause of causes, and this is what Physics said in writing, that all moving things reduce to the appetible. The appetible moves just as desideratum and aureum move and it moves through connatus. The ratio of the final cause and the appetible in such a way is the cause of causes. And this is what physics says, that the appetible moves and is not moved. Therefore, regarding the question of whether the essential order is one or two, it is to be said that the essential order is divided against the accidental order in that there is one reason which this reason is not subdivided, as it is said, this reason exists in one kind of cause not cooperating with another. It also exists in one kind of cause in the composition with another.\n\nWhen Quod asks whether the order is one or two, it is to be said that the essential order is divided against the accidental order in that there is one reason which this reason is not subdivided, as it is said, this reason exists in one kind of cause and not cooperating with another. It also exists in one kind of cause in the composition with another.\n\nDeinde, when Quod says that it assigns an order to the three, this is the order that moves through an organ of motion and moves the animal that is moved, so that there are three in motion: mover, mobile, and intermediate. This is what the physics first puts forth, saying that there are three in motion, one being the mover, second the intermediate means of motion, and third the animal that is moved. In this subdivision, the speaker says that a moving thing is called \"mouens\" in two ways. For in the process of motion, there is one unmoving mover and this mover is itself the desirable, movable object that moves the appetite without being moved by it. But another mover is the mover that is moved and this mover is itself the appetite. The appetite is moved by the desirable object, or whatever it desires, insofar as it desires to move and therefore the appetite is a kind of motion or act, just as the act of sensing is an act of the senses. Thus, it is clear that the appetite is moved. It also moves because it commands the animal's motion. That which is moved most is the animal. The organ through which the appetite moves is bodily, and therefore it should be considered in the communal operations of soul and body. However, it is discussed in this book only in relation to the cause of animal motion. In this book, the speaker will fully discuss the soul, but for the sake of the goodness of knowledge, he will speak in summary about the organ of motion. Queret quis ut sint in motu tria sicut dicit phys. Apparent non. Nam ibi est appetibile, appetitus, organum motus, et animal quod mouetur, ergo sunt ibi quatuor et non tria tantum.\n\nAd oppositum est dictum phi. Dicendum est quod mouens potest accipi duobus modis. Uno modo accipitur mouens quod causat motione in alio anima vel ipsum causans movetur ab alio an non, et hoc modo movens tria sunt in motu processu: movens et organum medium per quod movens movet et animal quod movetur. Alio modo accipitur movens, quod ita ratione movetur quod nullo modo ratione mobilis, et tale movens e movetur immobile et hoc modum accipiendi movens. Appetitus dividitur contra appetibile, quia conveniunt in ratione movendi. Movens autem movet et movetur, movetque a ipso appetibili ut est intellectu vel imaginatio. Movet ipsum animal et hoc modum. motus in organo suo are things that are movable, some because they are appetible and move when there is an appetite, some because they are the organ of motion and move themselves, and some because they are moved by another. Regarding the arguments stated above: In the first place, it is determined summarily about the organ of motion. For the evidence of this, it is noted that nature in these things implies that in the organ of motion, the principle and end are one and the same. Secondly, it implies that in the motion of animals, there is something that quiesces and something that is moved, and all that is moved is moved in something immovable. This implies the third thing, that we should not imagine the motion of animals as we do the motion of circulation. And this third thing is implied there. Furthermore, the third thing implies that we should not imagine the motion of animals in this way. Therefore, in the first place, it is implied that the organ of motion is both the principle and end, and this is what is summarily said about it. Motus in an organ is movable through an organ from a place where the principle and end of motion are the same. For in such motion, it is the same as in: in linea obliquata, in this case, the same is both convex and concave. In such motion, the beginning and end are the same. Because in this motion, the beginning and end are the same. The principle of motion begins where it starts and ends where it terminates, which are the same. It is worth noting that a progressive motion is composed of a pushing motion and a drawing motion, as is evident in the fact that air is first expelled and then drawn back from the same place where it is expelled, and is drawn to that place. While the progressive motion is there, the pushing motion is there, and the end of the motion is there. Because the beginning and end are the same, because the organ is drawn from the place where it is pushed, and therefore it said that nature {said that} which moves organically moves from that place where the beginning and end are the same. It is also worth noting that, just as a line is obliquely both convex and concave, the same thing is in animal motion. principium et finis differens: in this, the beginning and end are contrary to each other, for the beginning is present where the expulsion of a member is, and the end is present where there is resistance to being drawn. One draws oneself towards oneself, and is drawn towards.\n\nFurthermore, he says: Where indeed is there another rest? According to the second nature, and in the process of motion, there is another that rests and another that moves in that very motion, where both principle and end are the same in the thing, but different in reason. Therefore, what the letter says, that in such a motion one thing rests while another moves, because all motion is founded in something immovable in such a motion, the principle and end are the same in one respect, but different in reason.\n\nHowever, regarding the question of whether what the philosopher said is true, it is:\n\nprincipium et finis differens: in this, the beginning and end are contrary to each other. The beginning is present where the expulsion of a member occurs, and the end is present where there is resistance to being drawn. One draws oneself towards oneself, and is drawn towards.\n\nFurthermore, he says: Where indeed is there another rest? According to the second nature, and in the process of motion, there is another that rests and another that moves in that very motion. In this motion, both principle and end are the same in the thing, but different in reason. Therefore, what the letter says, that in such a motion one thing rests while another moves, because all motion is founded in something immovable in such a motion, the principle and end are the same in one respect, but different in reason. In the motion of an animal, that which moves is one thing, and that which is at rest is another. It must be said that this is so because it is clear in the first part of the animal that which is moved is pushed and pulled. For example, if the arm is moved, it is pushed away from the shoulder joint and pulled back to the shoulder joint. In this way, the motion of the arm is composed of a push and a pull, and where there is a push, there is the beginning of motion, and where there is a pull, there is the end. The beginning and end are the same because the arm is pulled back to the same place from which it was pushed. In the motion of an animal, the right part is pushed aside and the left part remains still. And similarly, the right part is pulled back. This is the case in all animals that walk. However, because the right and left are moved and nourished on both sides, the expansion and contraction is one, unified. In reptiles, however, a motion is performed in which the anterior part, which is moved, is quiet and the posterior part causes a motion that is performed because the anterior is pushed and the posterior is pulled back. Observe this. \"Because physical things in motion, willing to prove that in motion's ambulation, the same is principal cause and end. For this reason, he puts forward the third physical thing, by which we are to imagine the motion of animals as if it were circular motion. To this end, let us place the mover in circular motion at the center. Then, from this center, a circular motion will begin, which will be composed of both pull and push, because one circle is expelled and another is drawn in. In the motion of a circle, the outer parts seem to push the inner ones, while the inner parts appear to be pulled. And so, in the motion of a circle, there is something immobile from which the motion begins, because this begins from the center. In the motion of a circle as well, there is both pull and push.\" Partes pelluntur et alia trahuntur. Ita eodem modo in motu animalis. Motus enim animalis incipit ab aliquo immobili. Motus animalis non est sem lineam rectam: sed magis est sicut motus giratorius compositus ex pulsus et tractu. Cum enim mouetur pars dextra, sustentamus per sinistram. Expulsio etiam partis dexterae et attractio sinistre non sunt sem lineas rectas. Hoc enim patet, quod dictum est per philosophum. Quodquidem, sicut in circulo oportet manere aliquid et hoc huic est ab illo quod manet, oportet in motu animali esse aliquid immobile ad principia motus. Quereret enim aliquis quid est illud immobile a quo incipit motus animalis. Dicendum est idem cor. Ex quo quidem tria sequuntur per ordinem, quae manifestant litteram: Primum quod sequitur est idem in corde principium et finis. Cor enim continue mouetur, sicut dilatationem et constrictionem. Inquantum autem dilatat se cor. In that place, there was a pulsed beginning of motion, for it pushes away that which it pushes. The heart constricts there, and there is a tract. As long as there is a tract, there is an end to motion. For, as it draws to itself that which is being pushed, so it can be that in the heart, and the pulse and tract are discussed in the fifth part, as Phaenomenon in the third book says, following this, that it is like a circle. Thus it is in the motion of the heart. Just as a circle rests in its entirety and moves in its disposition, so the circular body is always in that place, and the heart always moves in that place, and the animal moves in its disposition and position, and it moves with contraction and dilation, or pulse and tract, and the heart, in a way, is both mobile and quiet, so that the mobile and the quiescent are both in reality and in action, and this is what the second follows, according to Tercius, that just as in the whole universe, so in the divided or undivided, the heavens, which is always. The text appears to be in Latin, and it discusses the concept of motion and the cause of motion in animals. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nMouet est principium et causa motus aliorum corporum quamquam quidam non moventur et quodammodo motus corporum est a caelo. Sic cor in animali, quod quodammode semper movetur, est causa et principium quorumlibet alterius motus facti in animali. Et hoc dicit Physica in tertia parte, libri de naturalibus, quod sicut in circulo aliquid manere a quo incipiat motus et hoc est caelum, quod est immobile, tum movetur dispositionem. Ita in animali in cordice incipit motus. Quodquid cor non movet se totum, tum movetur dispositionem, et sic illud immobile a quo incipit motus in animali est cor. Alios autem videtur sic. Illud immobile a quo incipit motus et ad quod terminatur motus non est aliquod unum.\n\nTranslation:\n\nMotion has a principle and cause for other bodies, although some do not move and the motion of bodies is from the sky in some way. The heart in an animal, which moves in some way constantly, is the cause and principle of every other motion made in the animal. And this is stated in the third part of Physics, in the books on natural things, that just as in a circle something remains that initiates motion and this is the sky, which is immobile, it also moves the disposition. Similarly, in an animal, the motion begins in the heart. Whatever the heart does not move itself completely, it moves the disposition, and thus the immobile thing from which motion begins in the animal is the heart. However, others see it differently. The immobile thing from which motion begins and to which it ends is not one. sig\u00a6natu\u0304 sm subiectum in membris ani\u00a6maliu\u0304 sed solu\u0304 sm ratione\u0304 et e\u0304 mul\u00a6tiplicatu\u0304 sm nume{rum} membro{rum} q\u0304 mouentur quia omne membrum qd mouetur supponit aliquod fixum a qno possit pelli et ad quod possit re\u2223trahi &c\u0304.\nOMnino qui\u00a6dem igitur Post\u00a6{quam} phi\u00a6losophus determinauit de principio motiuo sm motum localem in {con}mu\u00a6ni et sm se.

The fantasy is twofold: the rational fantasy, which participates in reason, or the sensory fantasy, which is in men, or the sensory fantasy which animals share with men but does not participate in reason. One might ask whether what Phus says is true, that the appetite and the fantasy move the animal in such a way that the animal moves itself sufficiently by the appetite or the fantasy. It seems that Phus does not make any mention of this, for Phus does not speak of this matter above. Besides the appetible and movable, of which Phus made no mention, there is also that which is movable in motion itself, and so the motion in this sense is called moving in two ways. In the first way, it is called the mover of that which first moves and is not moved itself, as is clear above. In the second way, it can be called the mover in the motion itself, and so the motion in this sense moves. motu animalium sunt duo in genere et tria in specie. duo quidem in genere qr ad motum animalium concurrit potencia discernens mo\u2223tum. et potencia impetum faciens que sunt diuerse in genere.

For fantasy and concupiscence or appetite are principal motions in animals. Therefore, the philosopher here asks whether fantasy and concupiscence are in imperfect animals and makes three points. First, he raises this conclusion. Second, he objects to one point there. He sees it. Third, he determines the conclusion there. Or, as follows.\n\nRegarding what should be considered as the mover in imperfect animals that only have the sense of touch, it is necessary to inquire whether these animals have fantasy and concupiscence as well.\n\nIt should not be forgotten that animals imperfect in one way cannot be understood in two ways: one way as if they lack something necessary for their species, like aliens lack organs. And in this sense, nature does not speak here about imperfect animals in terms of their species but in the genus of animals. For touch and no other senses are mentioned here. habent alia aalia perfecta. Deinde cuquod dicit. Videas em. arguit ad una tem questionis probando scro quod in talibus animalibus est appetitus et potest esse ratio sua talis. Leticia et tristicia sunt passiones appetitivae potentiae. Sed in ibus animalibus est leticia et tristicia ergo in eis est appetitiva potentia sive desiderativa. Et hoc est ergo quod dicit lra quod in talibus animalibus videtur esse tristicia et leticia. Si autem haec insunt ibus animalibus, necessest et concupiscentia. i.e. desiderium inesse in eisdem. Quomodo autem fanstasia insit talibus animalibus dubium est.\n\nNotandum est quod hec animalia imperfecta licet non moveantur motu progressivo, moventur tamen motu dilatationis et constrictionis. Ex hoc autem quod dilatantur et constringuntur probatur quod in eis est delectatio et tristicia, sicut dicit Phus in lra. Dilatatio enim videtur esse motus imitationis in delectabilia. Coercitio autem videtur esse motus fugae respectu. tristabilis: Someone may wonder how such a doubt arises. It seems that fantasy exists in such animals. It is said that doubt arises because of arguments that apply to both parties. First, it seems that fantasy is present in such animals. For it is said above that without fantasy, no movement occurs in animals. Since these animals have some movement towards contraction and expansion, it seems that there is fantasy in them. However, it is also opposed that in them there is no fantasy, as is stated in the preceding dictum, because fantasy abstracts from the presence of matter. Such animals do not move unless in the presence of a sensible object. And so it seems that there is no fantasy in them.\n\nFurthermore, the philosopher who posed the question solved it in this way: Just as they move, the fantasy is in such animals, because in them there is movement. indeterminate. It is in them fantasy and inextinguishable desire indeterminate, and this is what the letter signifies. Just as these animals move indeterminately, so do these desires and fantasies belong to them indeterminately.\n\nOne might ask how such animals possess indeterminate desire and fantasy. This can be shown in two ways. The first way will be through the nature of determined or indetermined motion, which the philosopher discusses in the letter. For instance, we see that certain animals, which are moved by a determined motion, are moved towards some pleasurable object as if to acquire it.\n\nFrom this it follows that they have a determined motion which argues for a determined imagination and fantasy and a determined appetite. Because these animals are moved determinately towards a determinate pleasurable object, they imagine such distances and because they determinately desire it, imperfect animals also. no habit this motion determined to anything distant. since nothing distant is imagined or desired, but only in the presence of the sensible they imagine evil or pleasant situations. no one is imagined to imagine evil or pleasant situations determined here or there. But when led to the presence of the sensible, they are constricted, and either they are attracted and pour themselves out over the sensible and move with the motion of expansion, or the second way is to be from a greater distinction of senses in perfect animals than in imperfect animals. In perfect animals, indeed, the sense is more formal and distinct from the sense organs and is always distinct in perfect animals. And in perfect animals, the organs of the senses are distinct and their powers. And this is because of the perfect shape of the head that is in such animals, but in imperfect animals, because of the imperfect shape of the head, the organs of the senses are not well distinguished but are confused. mixta ad mixtum. From this it follows that in such aials, a superior power is not perfectly distinct from the inferior one, and especially in imperfect animals that have no sense but touch, which is not a head nor cerebrum. Instead, something takes the place of the head and cerebrum, and such organs are confused and mixed. And they have a confused imagination commingled with the sense, and are moved and confused with their own sense on account of this confusion, which have indeterminate motion and indeterminate imagination. \u00b6Then it says that a sensitive principle operates in what way in humans compared to other animals, and it makes three points. First, it observes that in humans it is deliberative and not in other animals. Second, it observes that in humans there is a sensible appetite that is subject to deliberation. Third, it observes that in a rational way, deliberation is present in humans. \u00b6However, regarding the first point, it says that:\n\nIn humans, it observes that:\n1. It is deliberative and not in other animals.\n2. They have a rational appetite that is subject to deliberation.\n3. Deliberation is present in a rational way. In animals other than man, there is a sensitive imagination that does not move. But in man there is a reason for deliberation that moves him. This deliberative reason can be seen to move men, as man is moved by deliberating whether to do this or that. Deliberation is the power of reason deliberating. And this is what the philosopher speaks of in his letter. Deliberation does not act in things indifferent to it, such as a potency deliberating about doing this or that. Following this, the power of deliberation moves the mind, not the other way around. In deliberation, the power moves the measure, but the measure receives the power, and therefore the power moves from the deliberative reason. As the philosopher says, \"one must measure more in order to make one thing from many fantasies.\" A man in deliberation measures his actions to one measure, and the measure is not imitated but receives what is imitated more and approaches it more closely. In deliberation, the power is at work. pt ex pluralibus facere unum. i.e. pt de duobus fantasmatibus sibi oblatis. peligere unum illud, quod magis mensura imitatur. For example, if ho (pro) mensura supponat, quod magis iustum est, prosequitur magis si offerat duo iusti pelegit illud, quod magis appropinquat ad ronei iusti & ad mensuram dicta.

Primum medium est, quod proprium est homines deliberare iter duo, scilicet hoc sit agendum vel hoc medium tangit in manibus.

Tertium medium est, quod proprium est hrione et fantasiam et iuusale pt deliberare inter duo fantasmas alia aut alias ab his ita hoc fantasma quod non hoc iuusale opinione peligit discernere inter duo fantasmas. Quereret aliqui quod ro deliberatum measurat duo fantasmas per una mensuram. Dicendum est quod sicut ex metaphysica mensura certa et minima est, quod rone minimi et verbis phi quod illud est mensura in scientiis. The principles are certain. Principles are minimal in quantity but maximal in power. Principles virtually contain many conclusions, so in conclusions they are like a multitude. In principles there is unity, and therefore the principle is the smallest in minim. These principles are the most certain in sciences, just as a door is the most certain in a house, offering itself immediately to those who wish to enter. In sciences, principles offer themselves immediately to those who wish to learn. From these, it follows that principles measure and this is so in both speculative and practical matters. These principles receive practice as a measure rather than measures receiving practice to ward off the fear of a ghost from another.\n\nAn example. In practical matters, what is more just is more to be chosen, and if one wishes to act, two doubtful fantasms present themselves regarding which of them is more just. And where one finds a reason why one is more just, that is the one to be chosen. agendum sic ergo principium est, quod phus in lra & finis operationis practicae est mensura eorum que sunt ad finem. Quod aut finis sit mensura, mensurans ea que ad finem pertinent et operantes et agentes statuunt sibi aliqa finia que intendunt consequi. Deinde querunt media per quae possunt consequi hoc finem et istud medium eligit, quod cicius et facilius ducit in finem, ita quod finis est ratio pellendi unum medium aut alterum.\n\nQuereret aliquis quid vocat opinionem universalem, quod homo habet opinionem fantasiam Animalia antehoc non habent fantasiam. Dicendum est, quod intellectus est dicere, quod homo per sillogismum discernit de operantionibus cuiusque sillogismi. Major opinio universalis minor aut est perteritura ex maiori et minori et concluditur de operabili. Et homo habet rationem per quam potest accipere opinionem universale ex qua fit maior sillogismi. Habet quoque imaginem a qua potest. A person from such a minor or major species could logically derive that animals, or other things, are distinct from man, not only in fantasy and no reason that allows them to universally acquire opinion. Therefore, one cannot logically argue, and this is what physics in the first place says, that an animal lacks the reason why it follows that what has a fantastic imagination can follow contrary to reason. Then, what physics says next is that \"Vince autem.\" Physics states that an appetitive faculty, which is sensitive, moves something with deliberation, and this is what it means when it says that some appetitive faculty inferior, which is without deliberation, moves something that has been deliberated upon. Some other appetite, on the other hand, moves the deliberative appetite to be freed from the lower appetite and the sensible one, as is clear in the case of continent individuals. Continent individuals follow the intellectual appetite and not the sensible one. And just as in the heavens, the superior sphere moves the inferior one, so here the superior appetite moves the inferior appetite. And thus it is. The natural order in the soul requires that the superior virtue be more principal in motion, and that the principal one, which is appetitive, be moved. If the appetitive, which is principal and sensitive, is moved by a superior appetite, it will move the three powers or motions. Some ask how this is accomplished. It is said that it can be accomplished in two ways. The first way is proven by the fact that the appetitive, which is sensitive, is moved by another judgment of reason. Reason, in moving, presents one motion as greater and universal. The second motion assumes this greater motion under a minor particular one. The third motion is moved by both the greater and the lesser and concludes that it should be done, inclining the appetitive, which is sensitive. The second way is that the appetitive, which is sensitive, can be moved by reason, which moves and persuades, that is, it makes it necessary to do the second. The text appears to be written in an older form of Latin script, likely due to optical character recognition (OCR) errors. I will attempt to clean and translate it to modern English while being as faithful as possible to the original content.\n\nmoueri ab appetitu intellectiuo duet appetitus intellectius inclinat appetitu sensitivo. Aliquid aut appetitus sensitivus exit iudicio racionis et mouetur proprio sicut prudens in incotentibus. Deinde cum dicit: Scientificum aute.

In sillogismo enim practico sunt duae propositiones quarum una est universalis existimata et maior, altera vero particularis existimatio et minor.\n\nCleaned and translated text:\n\nThe intellectuel appetite inclines the sensual appetite. Something of the sensual appetite departs from the judgment of reason and is moved by its own proprio motion, as a prudent person in incotentibus [disputes or controversies]. Then, when it says: \"Scientificum aute\" [I say, it is scientific], after physus [nature] said that the reason moves this, what is the foundation of its intentio [intention] above two foundations. The first foundation is that reason moves through the practical syllogism of the minor premise of this syllogism, it looks more at the motion of the proximate [premise]. Therefore, the major is as if fixed and quiescent, while the minor immediately flows in motion. Before these foundations, it says that scientificum, i.e., the universal major proposition, which makes the studium [study] not move, i.e., not immediately flow in motion, but remains fixed and flows in motion through the minor. In the practical syllogism, there are indeed two propositions, one of which is universal and major, the other, however, is particular and minor. The first says that one ought to honor one's parents. The second says that I or he am such a son. From this it is concluded that I should honor my parent. The first opinion, whether it be esteem or opinion, moves more or is rather said to move more, but the former moves more, just as the cause moves the quiescent. The second, however, moves not so: but as a particular cause applied to motion moves the universal, so one might ask how the cause of the universe does not move, as Philo says, but seems fixed. This truth can be apprehended in two ways. The first way is from the community of the proposition of the universe. For we imagine the universal proposition as we do the universal cause, the universal cause, like the sun, being drawn to this act through a particular cause. For we say that man generates man universally, not more so for me than for you unless it is through mine or thine esteem. The son, however, does not more receive honor from the universal than from me unless it is through mine or thine esteem. ho\u00a6norare patre\u0304 sed ego sum filius er\u00a6go o{per}\u0290 me honorare pr\u0304em sic em\u0304 di\u00a6cendo maior mediante minore fluit magis in ha\u0304c {con}clusione\u0304 {quam} in aliam Ymaginabimur em\u0304 p\u0304mo {quod} suo mo\u0304 ita est in sillogismis practicis sicut i\u0304 speculatiuis p\u0304ter hoc {quod} sillogism{us} practicus ordinat ad o{per}ari siue mo\u00a6ueri sillogism{us} au\u0304t speculatiu{us} ordi\u00a6natur ad scire\u00b7 sic aute\u0304 videm{us} {quod} in sillogismis speculatiuis {quod} magis vniusalis magis fluit in scienciam vni{us} {con}clusionis {quam} alteri{us} {pro}pter mi\u00a6nore\u0304 a qua {con}trahit et media\u0304te qua fluit vt si dicat sic om\u0304is triangul{us} h\u0290 tres. ysochiles est tria\u0304gul{us} ergo h\u0290 tres scie\u0304cia maioris magis fluit in scienciam ysochilis {quam} quadrati {pro}pter minore\u0304 que assumit sub er\u2223go eode\u0304 mo\u0304 i\u0304 sillogismo practico vir\u00a6tus maioris magis fluit in hoc age\u0304\u00a6du\u0304 {quam} illud vel in hunc motu\u0304 {quam} illu\u0304 propter minore\u0304 que assumit sub qr si no\u0304 assumeret maior es{sed} quasi qui\u00a6escens qr no\u0304 flueret in motu\u0304 Secu\u0304\u00a6do imaginabimur The major in practices, because of its own visuality, is beneficial and harmful to the community and speaks the truth about this matter. The good prince says that laws should be decreed, and the tyrant says the same. But the good prince truly assumes the role of the law in a minor and gentle way, while the tyrant falsely assumes it regarding what is commanded by the people. This is the law, and therefore the tyrant's conclusion is false. Since this proposition is common to both good and evil, it is evident that it does not flow into specific motion or operation unless it is mediated by a lesser one. The closer the propositions are to the particulars, the more they approach motion and operation. In a practical syllogism, the major is universal, and the minor is particular, and therefore the minor is more specific. This text appears to be written in an ancient or archaic form of Latin. I will do my best to translate and clean it up while staying faithful to the original content.\n\naspicit motum et hoc est quaerere philosophus in lara vocat maiore scientificam et minus ordinatam ad motum.

It makes three things clear. First, it shows the way the vegetative power relates to life. Second, it shows the way the sensitive power relates to life in that place. Sensation is present there. Third, it shows the way the sensitive power relates to animals in that place. Animals, in turn, first show the way the vegetative power relates to life and it is the intention of its own, for all living things, generative and corruptible, have a vegetative power as their foundation. The first foundation is that all living things, generative and corruptible, have an increase and decrease. The second foundation is that they cannot have this without nourishment. For the requirement of growth demands that more be converted from nourishment than is sufficient for it. \"Existentia magnitudinis conservatio: quia vitae tunc non solum indiget conservari in quod habet, sed et produci ad debitem quantitatem quae vitae generabilia tempore suae generationis imperfectam habent. Tempore autem statuitur a alimento quantum necessarium est ad conservationem animalis vel viventis. Tempore autem decremitur minus quam necessarium sit ad conservationem viventium. Et ideo vita incipit deficere et sic patet quod alimentum necessarium est in viventibus. Ex his principiis arguit physica sic. Quod utitur alimento animas vegetativae, sed vita generabilis utitur alimento et propter conservationem et propter augmentum ergo habent animas vegetabiles et hoc est quod dicit Lactantius. Quod omne quodcumque vivum necessitatem habet animam vegetabilem et haec necessitas est a generatione ad corruptionem. I.e. haec necessitas semper duas vitae requirit.\" The given text appears to be written in Latin, and it seems to be a philosophical discussion about the concept of growth and the necessity of a vegetative power for living beings. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Gentium habet augmentum et statum et decrementum. Hoc autem impossibile est fieri sine alimento. Et ideo necessest quod talia vita habeant potentiam vegetativam, quae utitur hujusmodi alimentis. Notandum est quod philosophus notable dixit quod vegetalia vita indigent potentia vegetativa, servans se a viventibus in generabilibus. Talia enim vita in generabilia non indigent potentia vegetativa, quia sola vivunt vita intellectuali. Talia enim sunt substantiae separate, quae non indigent alimentum nec propter conservationem individuorum, nec propter augmentum, nec propter conservationem speciei. Haec omnia argumentum generationem et corruptionem in his quae sic indigent, et per consequens non indigent potentia vegetativa.\"\n\n\"Sensus autem ostendit illam habitudinem quam habet sensus ad vitam, et quia non est necessarium omne vivens habere sensum, quia plantae vivunt et tamen non habent sensum. Probat autem philosophus hoc, scilicet quod\" Plants do not have sense and this is based on two foundations. The first foundation is that all senses depend on the sense of touch. For touch itself is the foundation of all senses. Touch is not in all living beings, nor is it in plants, which, due to their terrestrial nature, do not come into contact with simple bodies. Simple bodies do not have touch, and neither do plants. From these two foundations, nature argues thus: That which has no touch, nor does it have other senses. But in certain living beings touch is not present, therefore neither are other senses in them. This is what the ancient author says: It is not necessary for sense to be in all living beings. The reason for this is that a simple body does not have touch, nor do living bodies that do not receive forms without matter, such as plants. Without touch, however, it is impossible for any animal to exist. It is impossible for the sense of an animal to exist without touch. &c\u0304. Notandum est {quod} sensus ta\u00a6ctus {con}sistit in quada\u0304 medietate tan\u00a6gibiliu\u0304 {con}trario{rum} non enim sensus tactus omnino priuatur a {con}trarijs sed ab excellencia {con}trario{rum} et quia organum sensus tactus consistit in quada\u0304 medietate si aute\u0304 consistit in quada\u0304 medietate quicquid caret il\u00a6la medietate caret sensu tact{us}. hac aute\u0304 medietate carent cor{per}a simpli\u00a6cia carent ecia\u0304 cor{per}a mixta que mul\u00a6tu\u0304 accedu\u0304t ad terrestreitate\u0304. carent ecia\u0304 plante et ideo carent sensu Sig\u00a6nu\u0304 aute\u0304 hui{us} carencie est sm phm\u0304. qr no\u0304 recipiu\u0304t species sine materia sicut facit sensus tactus \u00b6Deinde cum dicit.

Est autem hec habitudo {quod} omne animal quod mouetur motu progressiuo ha\u00a6bet sensum duo enim facit philoso\u2223phus quia primo probat quod dix\u00a6it. secundo remouet qnandam obuia\u00a6tionem que posset dari contra {pro}posi\u00a6cionem suam ibi\u00b7 Non potest aute\u0304. Prima in duas sm {quod} ad If a thing has its own definition or declaration, it is based on two foundations. According to the second foundation, there is one. If therefore all processes are considered, it places the first foundation and it is what nature does nothing in vain. For everything that exists in nature is either for an end or follows that which is for an end. Nature, therefore, makes the limbs of animals for an end, for example, for operation. But from this it follows that they have some function, such as hair or something similar which are not primarily for an end. Therefore, regarding this foundation, the law says that every animal which is moved in a progressive manner must have a sense, and this, if nature does nothing in vain. This is clear. For all things that are in nature are either for something or follow that which is for something.\n\nTherefore, if all things are considered in relation to the first foundation, it places the second foundation in accordance with the first. From this, the second foundation concludes the proposition. It is also called the second foundation. In the first principle, nature does nothing in vain. If this is the case, then it follows that nature does nothing in vain in a corporeal process, i.e., in a body that can be moved by progressive motion. But if such a body did not have a sense, it would be in vain, and therefore a body animated by progressive motion has a meaning. This is what was to be proved. Therefore, it is what the law says: \"If a body in motion, i.e., an animal body, does not have a sense, it will be in vain, and this because it seeks and will not reach its end, which is the work of nature.\" But it is clear that such a body would be in vain. For if it does not have a means of nourishment, it will not obtain food in any way. In animals, however, which always move and are moved, there exists something by which they are nourished from birth. Animals, however, seek food through motion. But they cannot do this unless they have a sense. One might ask why this consequence follows. The text does not need to be cleaned as it is already in a readable format, although it is written in an old Latin script. Here is the text translated into modern English:\n\n\"A corpus (procession) lacks meaning, therefore it is in vain because it cannot reach its end. It must be said that a moving body will be more conserved without sense. Therefore, no body truly manifests an animable soul without sense. It should be noted that the nature of the phusis (nature) is brief as follows. If in a body there is no procession and no intelligence without sense, this would be either because of the better body or because of the better intelligence. But neither is this the case. Therefore, in no such body can there be intelligence without sense.\n\nSomeone might ask what is called phusis (nature) of a body that is not generated. They say that no body has intelligence without sense, whether it is generated or not generated. It must be said that there is no difficulty with a generated body. A generated body is, in fact, a human body. The human intellect, however, requires sense. Therefore, such a body necessarily requires sense.\" The following text appears to be written in a mixture of Latin and ancient English. I will translate it into modern English as faithfully as possible, while removing unnecessary characters and formatting.\n\nsenus sed de corpore in generabilis est difficilitas istoqui ponunt corporea celestia amata ita hoc intellectu quod non hoc sum. Corporibus emendis celestibus suppositis quod sint animata non est necessarius sensus nec propter corpus quia corpora celestia sunt incorruptibilia et ingenabilia nec indiget conservari inesse per sensum nec propter intellectum quia intellegit talis non depeudet a se quod intelligat ad modum subterraneum perpetarum. Pertinax forte phus per corpus ingenerabile intelligit corpora quorundam animalium aereorum quod Platonici posuerunt et nomina ea deos. Sicut definit Apuleius deos esse animalia corpora aerea rationabilia animo pessima tempore eterna. De his forte phus intelligit quod non habent intellectum sine sensu.\n\nIf truly they have senses, as Phus spoke of the disposition of senses to animals progressively. For every progressive animal, he speaks here of the disposition of senses towards the body, and it is such. This text appears to be written in an ancient form of Latin. I will translate it into modern English while maintaining its original meaning as much as possible.\n\nThe text reads: \"habitudo quod omnis sensus est in corpore mixto et non in corpore simplici. Hoc autem probat hoc sequitur: sensus et animal arguit sensum tactum, quia nihil est reperire animal sine tactu. Sed tactus non est in corpore simplici, sed in corpore mixto ergo corpus cuiuslibet animalis est corpus mixtum. In hac consequentia, primo ipsum consequentiam ponit, secundo probat utramque tempus eiusdem ibi. Hoc autem manifestum est: ponit primo ipsum consequentiam, dicens quod si aliquid habet sensum, necessest corpus eiusdem animalis esse simplicem vel mixtum. Impossibile autem est hoc simplicem. Quia necessario quodlibet animal habere tactum. Corpus autem simplicem tactum non habet. Deinde cum dicit hoc autem ex his manifestum est, probat utramque tempus consequentiae. Prima pars consequentiae est quod animal non est sine tactu et hanc probavit in principio. Secunda pars est quod tactus non est in corpore simplici ibi.\"\n\nCleaned text: \"This is the rule for all senses: they exist in a mixed body, not in a simple one. This is proven by the following sequence of reasoning: a sense and an animal argue for the sense of touch, because an animal cannot be found without touch. However, touch is not in a simple body, but in a mixed one. Therefore, the body of every animal is a mixed body. In this sequence of reasoning, it first sets out the rule itself, stating that if something has a sense, the body of the same animal must be simple or mixed. It is impossible for it to be simple. This is because every animal necessarily has touch. A simple body, however, does not have touch.\" \"Prima sit impossible quod animalia sint in tres peres. Quod primum idem concludit de gusto ibi. Quare et gustum. Tercio quod primum hoc probat. Secundo quod non est simile de gustu et alis sensibus ibi. Alii sensus. Primo ergo probat quod tactus est necessarius omni animali. Et est ratio sua in brevi: animalia alia essent frustra. Saluari autem non potuissent nisi habeant tactum. Si enim non haberent tactus, non sentirent immutaciones factas a tangibilibus, et sic uos sentiret ducorperent. Ergo animalia debent habere sensum tactus. Hoc est quod dicit Lara. Quod maxime est ex his dicendis, omne animali tactum cui nocivum.\n\nDeinde cum dicit, \"Propter quod et gustus,\" postquam dictum est de tactu concludit de gusto, dicens, \"quod et gustus est necessarius animali et hoc quia gustus est quidam tactus. Est enim gustus tactus alimenti, id est tactus actus quo discernitur alimentum. Alimentum\".\" The body is tangible matter. For just as we are composed of hot and moist elements and become cold and dry, so we are nourished from these same sources. These qualities, which are tangible, make food suitable for nourishment. However, sound, color, and smell, which are objects of the three senses, do nothing towards nourishment. They do not feed or cause increase or decrease, for neither sound nor color nourishes. Therefore, sight, hearing, and smell are not senses of nourishment. Taste, however, senses in touch. It is therefore necessary that it be some kind of tactile sense, since it relates to something tangible, even food. And it is also necessary that it be a sense of nutrition, i.e., the sense by which an animal is nourished. It is clear then that these two senses are necessary for an animal. It is also clear that an animal cannot exist without touch.\n\nFurthermore, the philosopher writes in his letter that other [senses] are necessary for an animal. Here it is shown that others [are necessary]. tres sensus non sunt omnibus animalibus. Sed solum quibusdam que mouentur motu progressiis. Hoc primum ostendit quod dictum est, secundum manifestat quod dixit per exemplum ibi. Quia enim movens, tercio ex dictis removet quidam errorem ibi.\n\nDe percussione, quantumquam ad primum dicit, alii tres sensus in animali propter bonum et utile sunt. Non enim insunt cuicunque amicabiles: sed quibusdam que moventur motu progressivo. Patet enim quod tales sensus insunt talibus animalibus. Necesse est enim si talia animalia, que moventur motu progressivo, locum distantibus et hoc ut possint conjungi nutrimentis, non habent alia nutrimenta adiuncta, sicut huic terra tantum ia tantum immobilia, sed distantia et ideo indigent motu mediante quo assequantur alimenta quod distat.\n\nSecundum fundamentum est, super quod fundatur phusis. Quia animalia debent movi themselves conveniens quod distat, oporet quod apprehendant illud conveniens ab distantia. Hoc quia motus. animalium sequitur apprehensionem. Apprehendere autem distancia non potest nisi per sensus quae apprehendunt a distancia et per media quae faciunt distanciam inter sensibilia et sensus. Sunt ergo sensus necessarii tribus animalibus. Deinde cum dicit \"Sicut enim moves,\" manifestat quoddam quod dixit de motu locali. Dixit enim \"quod sensibile movet medium.\" Medium autem movet sensum ita, quod sensibile movet tantum medium. Medium autem movetur et movet hoc manifestat per simile in motu locali. Dicens quod in motu locali movens facit permutationem et aliubi versus aliquem locum determinatum. Hoc autem facit quod primo movens depellit aliud, id est secundum, et secundum depulsum iterum depellit tertium, et ita iste motus est per medium ita, quod primum depellit tantum sicut corde vel manibus. Ultimum autem est sensus, tantum movetur hoc manifestat. In motu locali dicens quod movens in locum facit permutationem et aliubi versus aliquem locum determinatum. Hoc autem facit quod primo movens depellit aliud, id est secundum, et secundum depulsum iterum depellit tertium, et ita iste motus est per medium ita, quod primum depellit tantum sicut corde vel manibus. Ultimum autem est sicut lapis vel sagitta, quae depellitur tantum. Medium autem est sicut aer vel aqua, habet utrumque. depellit et depelitur et sic media depulsio et depelencia quodamodo sunt multa, quia sermo ut media dicuntur multa propter multas rationes, quas hoc est quod rationes sunt quae hoc ratione mobili et mouentis, vel media dicuntur multa quia inter primum mouens et ultimum mobile sunt multa. Si ut est in motu locali, ita est in motu alterationis, quia in alteratione sensus movetur a sensibili, quia in alteratione talia sensibilia alterat medium, aut alterat sensum. In hoc est drastica inter talem alterationem et motum localem, quia in alteratione manente sensibili in eodem loco fit ipsa alteratio, quod non est in his quae feruntur, in quibus id quod depellitur mutat locum.\n\nAssimilatur autem hec alteratio motui figurae sigilli in ceram. Quia enim, ut supra diximus, motus enim figura tantum ingreditur in ceram quantum imprimens tangit ceram, et sic cera mota est usque ad hoc usque quo tangit, id est usque ad illum terminationem, usque quo pervenit motus. The text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be discussing the relationship between a sensible object and the sense organ that perceives it. Here is the cleaned text:\n\n\"Tangit enim tantum medium in alteratione sensus, quod primum mouens est, tantum durat motus sensibilis. In lapide pulsus movetur et de facili recipit species sensibili, et tunc agit in sensum et patitur ab illo. Si tamen maneat et unus et continuus non in intercepto aliquo spissis terminatis, quod faciat non esse continuum inter primum sensibile et organum sensus. Notandum est, quod phus posuit similitudinem inter motum, quod facit figuram sigilli, et motum, quem facit sensibile. Adverterendum est, quod duplex similitudo est inter hoc et illud. Prima similitudo est, quia sicut cera recipit similitudinem formae existentis in sigillo ferro vel auro, ita tamen nec est ferrum nec anrum, quia materia non dispositur similiter hic et ibi. Sic quilibet sensus, puta visus solum, suscipit similitudinem formae rei sensibilis, et sic dici potest suscipere formam sine materia. Et hoc est inter figuram sigilli et sensum respectu rei sensibilis dictum in secundo.\" This text appears to be written in an old form of Latin, likely using diacritical marks and abbreviations. I will attempt to translate and clean the text while preserving its original meaning as much as possible.\n\nThe text reads: \"est similitudo quod dicit hic philosophus, si figura sigilli imprimit in cera et alterat eam, vsque ad certum terminum: ita sensibile alterat medium et per medium alterat sensum, et ibi finit sua alteratio. Deinde cum dicit, unde et de percussione. Ex dictis remouet dictum quorundam errorum, qui posuerunt, quod visus videt extra mittendo: quod enim ex dictis patet esse falsum. Dictum est enim, quod visibile agit in medium, medium autem agit in visum, et sic visus aliquid recipit, videt inbus suscipiendo et non extramittendo, et hoc est illud quod dicit philosophus, quod ex quo sensus pacientur a sensibili, melius est discere circa repercussiones visus, quod aer patitur a figura quamdiu manet aer unus et continuus, non interceptus aliquo corpore terminato, quod contingit quando aer est levis, quam dicere, quod radii egressi a visu repercuciuntur a sensibili sicut aliqui posuerunt. Sed primum modum aer immitatus a colore et figura movebit iterum visum et visus motus videt.\"\n\nCleaned text: \"The philosopher in this text speaks of a similarity: when a seal figure impresses and alters wax to a certain point, the sensible alters the medium and in turn the sense, and there the alteration ends. Regarding the 'from percussion' statement, the philosopher corrects an error of some, who said that the eye sees outside by emitting [something], for it is clear from the text that this is false. It is said that the visible acts on the medium, but the medium acts on the eye, and thus the eye receives something, sees in the object by receiving it and not emitting it, and this is what the philosopher means: since the senses are affected by the sensible, it is better to learn about the reflections of the eye. The air endures the figure as long as the air is one and continuous, not interrupted by any terminated body that touches it when the air is light, rather than saying that the rays leaving the eye are rebounded by the sensitive [object] as some have proposed.\" Within receiving and being similar to wax and a seal, if the figure of the seal were impressed upon the wax to the very end of its term. For visible form imprints its own shape upon that which is visible. Indeed, it is to be noted that air is light and moist and continuous. The reason for this is that one part of air flows into another and continues from it, and therefore the other continuity arises from the perceptible and to the senses. For if it were such that a medium were interposed and terminated by some body, the continuity would be impeded and likewise the height and the senses and so on.\n\nHowever, it is impossible for a simple animal to exist, as was stated in a certain passage at the beginning of the preceding reading, because it had to prove two things about nature. The first was that every animal has touch. The second was that touch was not in a simple body. From this it follows that the body of an animal is not simple but mixed. The first has already been proven in the preceding reading. The second should be proven here. Thus nature proceeds. quia primo in duas partes ponit physis in intentam. Secundo dicit, manifestum est esse impossibile corpus animalis simpliciter esse, ut puta igneum aut aereum, cuus radix est, quia sine tactu non concinet esse aliquem sensum animali. Et hoc est omnis animali tactile. Tactus autem non est immediate, sed per alia. Solus autem tactus sentit per seipsum in tangendo, ideo nullum corpus simplicium, nec corpus oleum terreum, id est, quod multum appropinquat ad terestreitatem, potest esse corpus animalis, quia tactus non est in tali corpore. Notandum est, quod duas dras videntur innure phus inter tactum et alios sensus. Prima. The following text discusses the concept of touch in relation to animals and the distinction between simple and complex bodies. The Latin text reads: \"The first thing is that which is touched is not without touch. An animal does not have senses other than touch, and in this drama, it said that all things are tangible. The second thing is that which is touched and tasted, because there is some touched one who senses in touching and is therefore rightly called the tactile medium or the touched one itself is flesh. For other things, however, such as air and water, sense through other intermediate media that are simple bodies. And therefore, they do not sense in touching except mediately, and we distinguish this in the following way: that the visible thing touches the medium, and the medium touches the visible, and the philosopher made this distinction in the following:\n\nThe philosopher argued thus: touch is not in a simple body, therefore the body of an animal is not simple. He proves this position thus: touch is the medium of the tangible, but the medium of the tangible is not in a simple body, and this is what the letter says: touch is like some intermediate of all tangible things, for touch is the medium of all tangible things, since the touched one is.\"\n\nCleaned text: The first thing is that which is touched is not without touch. An animal does not have senses other than touch, and in this drama it is said that all things are tangible. The second thing is that which is touched and tasted, for there is some touched one who senses in touching and is therefore rightly called the tactile medium or the touched one itself is flesh. For other things, however, such as air and water, sense through other intermediate media that are simple bodies. And therefore, they do not sense in touching except mediately. We distinguish this as follows: the visible thing touches the medium, and the medium touches the visible, and the philosopher made this distinction: touch is not in a simple body; therefore, the body of an animal is not simple. He proves this position by stating that touch is the medium of the tangible, but the medium of the tangible is not in a simple body, and this is what the letter says: touch is like some intermediate of all tangible things, for touch is the medium of all tangible things, since the touched one is. The received sense perceives all differences among tangible things, not only differences in earth but also in other elements, such as hot and cold. Such a medium, which is present in touch, is not in a simple body nor in any body that is far from it, for instance, towards terrestrialness. Therefore, bones and hairs do not feel these parts, which are easily subject to being wet. Plants also have no sense since they do not have touch, and if they do not have touch, they have no other sense because no sense can exist without touch. It is noteworthy that the organ of touch adapts itself to tangibles as a medium to the extremities and excellencies of the tangibles. In tangibles, there are qualities and their extremities, and in the organ of touch, they are reduced to a certain medium and equality. Since such a medium and proportion are not present in simple bodies nor in those that are close to them, the philosopher rightly concludes that touch is not present. in talibus corporis: The philosopher in his writing makes it clear that there are certain conclusions derived from which the difference between touch and other senses is shown. These conclusions are three. Secondly, it is because of this. Thirdly, other senses are not to be noted for the demonstration of the first conclusion, since the difference between touch and other senses is that touch is not a sense in the same way that an animal can exist without other senses. From this difference it follows that the taking away of touch kills an animal, while the taking away of other senses does not. The philosopher concludes this difference as follows in his writing: \"It is manifest that it is necessary for animals to die, for what is not an animal cannot have touch. Nor is it necessary that animals have any other sense.\" sensum aliud quam tactum est animali, sic convertitur cum eo. Quia si est animal, habet tactum. Et si habet tactum, est animal. Notandum est enim, quod philosophus in litera dicit, solus tactus est necessarius animali. Ex quo concludit, tactus convertitur cum animali. Superius etiam dictum est per philosophum, gustus est necessarius animali, et hoc videtur contradicere. Ad hoc autem contradictionis removal declarandae sunt duae veritates. Prima veritas est, tactus est fundamentum gustus. Imaginabimus enim, suum proprium est inter eorum obvia, obium autem ipsum tactus, quod obium est qualitas tangibilis, puta humidum, est obiecti fundamentum gustus, quod est sapidum, aut sapor fundatur in humido. Sicut autem obiectum tactus est obiecti, fundamentum gustus. Licet autem tactus sit fundamentum gustus, hoc non est in omni parte corporis, sed solum in illa quae sumit cibum, et sic gustus non fundat in toto tactu, sed quasi. in quod a tactus is called therefore. Secunda veritas is that which is taste or touch, necessary for all animals to enjoy food and distinguish it from harm. Taste and touch are distinct, and taste has its own pleasures, not necessary in all animals. There are certain pleasures that are in taste, and touch is necessary for these. Other pleasures are of taste and these are not common to all animals. Then it is said. And for this reason, according to the second conclusion, Poenitens second drama shows the relationship between touch and other senses. To this evidence, it is noted that this is a drama between other senses and touch, for just as an excellent sound corrupts sight, so a sharp sound corrupts the sense, but the animal does not perceive it in the same way. Therefore, what follows is that other things. sensibilia as color, odor, and sound exist in their own excellences and do not corrupt the animal, but rather corrupt the sense. And I well say that nothing corrupts except perhaps a sharp object, such as sound, which drives out and strikes the aerial elements and whatever is struck by the blow dies. Just as a pig in good truth. A thing is killed by sight when it is interfered with by things that appear in the air, just as a pig in certain poisonous animals. And when it comes to the question of sound and visible things, it should be spoken of in terms of odor and taste. Odors infect and turn into poison the very air, and corrupt it in this way: the poisonous air penetrates hidden pores and moves other things away from the odor and causes them to die. And odors corrupt in this way and tastes destroy not because the qualities that follow heat or cold. And similarly, a humor is corrupted by tangidity just as heat exceeds or coldness is quenched. In this sepior, Dein remarks that the tangibility of excellence corrupts not only the body but also the soul. He adds that the excellence, being sensible, corrupts the soul through touch. Therefore, the tangible excellence is determined to be alive, i.e., a living excellence is a tangible one. It is shown that it is impossible for the soul to exist without touch. From this it follows that if tangible excellence corrupts the soul through touch, then the soul and touch are converted, i.e., the conversion of one is the other. Therefore, it is necessary for us to have this soul in such a way that it is possible for an animal to be placed here and converted. Dein also remarks that in this third condition, which is called the third drama, touch is the only sense involved. Other animals, however, are good and this third drama, seeing its nature, is pleasing to the physis. dt in lra. As it is written, just as the body is sensitive to touch without, not only to what is felt well but also to what is harmful, so the soul is similarly affected by what is seen. It cannot grasp or comprehend visible things through this power alone. But what is seen is distant from it, and the sensible, visible things are not easily apprehended by the eminent. The soul cannot distinguish by taste what is sad and delightful in food, as you can discern bitter and sweet in some food. And what is said about taste applies also to smell, for an animal is drawn towards food by smell. The soul perceives sounds through itself to signify something to itself. It is necessary that concepts of one thing are signified to another animal, so that one animal is attracted to food from another. The soul speaks through the tongue for the sake of signifying something to another, and this power of speech performs many operations and virtues for the good. terminatas\n\u00b6Explicit sentenciosa at{que} studio digna expositio venerabilis Alexan\u00a6dri su{per} terciu\u0304 lib{rum} de anima.

And so may he know and understand truly the declaration of this said volume. And he who will obey this commandment may learn great part of the form and condition of this world through the content of the same, and how by the will of our Lord it was created, made, and accomplished. And this had not been of any value or worth anything more than unreasonable beasts. Then let us pray the maker and creator of all creatures, God almighty, that at the beginning of this book, in his most bountiful grace, he may depart from us with the same. We may learn and retain that which we teach, so that we may have such perfect science and knowledge of God that we may obtain the health of our souls and share in His glory, permanent and endless. Amen.\n\nYou ought to know that when our Lord God made the world, and had made all things from nothing, He had no need of it, for He had as much before as He had afterward. God was forever and is incessantly, without beginning or end. He neither amends nor is made better by anything failing, for He sees all and knows all evil as well as the good. Had He never made the world, He would have been worth just as much then as He ever could be, for otherwise He could not be God, if He did not know, see, and hear all that might be. And if He were not so, He would be lacking and not mighty over all things. so much he was and should be a mortal man / but his nature was not such / for he is God entirely and whole without beginning and without end / Nothing is new or old to him / All good things belong to him / by right / and by nature return to him / for from him all things proceed and move / and returning to him in holding the right way / he recoils from any harm / for his boundless boundary is all pure, clean, whole, and clear / Certainly all evils are contrary to him / and therefore it is pure necessity that they withdraw from under him and from all his goodness / for it is nothing but dung and filth / which must necessarily descend into the deepest / And the good things must necessarily rise upward before the sovereign creator who is clear, net, and pure / And the sins which are obscure, horrible, and dark above all other things lie beneath the good which is about God and eternal and go down / for so it behooves it to be by reason and nature / All in like manner as we see the filth of the wind. That which is put in the vessel, and the foul departs from the clear, in such a way that the good and clear abides above, and the impure scum remains below, as infectious and not good. The good wine that is above remains clear and fine, and that which is not good remains below, always obscure and foul. The more the wine is good and clear, the more it retains the impure and obscure. Thus it is with the good and evil: the evil must descend into dark and horrible places, full of all sorrow and bitterness. The more the good shines before God and brings joy, the more sorrow and darkness there is in hell, where it is continuous and will be as long as God is in heaven, where God has all goodness before Him and always has it without pain, without trouble, and without grief or annoyance. He has all, and He enlightens all without any defect or flaw. God may make all things and unmake them without changing himself in any way, for he can make and contain countless thousands of years more than we can conceive, and yet he has more joy, delight, and honor in an hour alone than any man could imagine or know in a hundred thousand years if he could live that long, though he were the most subtle of all men ever born or who will be born. Of this great and inestimable glory, God is the true and sovereign Lord, knowing and seeing all that has been, is, and will be, and having possession of all that belongs to him. He has never failed in anything good, and they are all before him, nor was there ever anything lacking. God made and created the world of his own will, for He might have something to behold, deserving of His well-being and goodness if it were not in His default. Therefore, He established this world. Nothing for His own benefit or need, but He did it out of charity and by His great bounty. For as charitable as He is, He would have others share in His wealth and goodness. And each creature, according to its nature, should feel of His power after it was fitting to Him. Thus would God establish this world, so that such a thing might issue forth that could understand and know the nobility of His power and wisdom, and also of the good that He made for man on earth, that he might serve Him in such a manner that by him He might deserve praise. Greet well and good that he made for him, then we ought above all other things to love him and thank him who made and formed us. When we have such power and authority by him, that if we will love him, we shall be lords of all goods. Now let us love him with all our might, and then shall we do as wise men. And if we do not, we shall have great harm and damage, for if we lose the cause, we shall lose such goods as our lord has made for us. Yet for all that, God will lose nothing. Certainly he made them for us, since by our good deeds we might deserve them and that he, of his grace, has given to us the wit, the understanding, and the power. When God formed man, he wanted to make and create him like unto his image and semblance, to the end that he should have remembrance of the goods that he had lent him, and that he might deserve them all by right and reason. For he showed to him so great love, that above all other creatures he formed him to his figure and image. semblance / And gave to him naturally right understanding, to love and know him more than any other thing, to tend that he might share more largely of his goods than any other creature. No god did ever make or bestow so many good things upon any creature as upon man. But who is he that will deserve them? And if he does not, it is reason that he sorrows, for he does nothing to God, who does well to have his grace and love, but rather does it more for his own profit than for others. And therefore he does well who loves and serves him, for much may he call himself a captive and merchant, who by his folly loses so high, so noble, and so excellent glory, for his sin that profits him nothing, and has not in him but shame and blame, and draws him into such a place where there is nothing but pain, woe, sorrow, and he shall never be delivered from it as long as he lives. Thus he has lost the great joy that was given to him. When a man is taken away by his sin, he could have been a lord if he had chosen to maintain himself by doing good works and abstained from doing evil. For he who does well in this world has so much good and honor that angels of heaven make him their lord and master, by the grace of God, king of all kings. Then he may well consider himself as everyone's master and happy, who does so much good on earth during his life that he can conquer and gain this honor. And he may make every person do as he pleases, for he can win by doing well and also lose by doing evil.\n\nWhen our Lord God created man, He gave him the power to do as he pleased - that is, to do good or evil as he wished. For if God had made man such that he could not have sinned or do nothing but good, He would have taken away something from his power, for he could not then have done otherwise. evil when it had pleased him, and then it should have followed that he would or not, he should always have done well without reason, and thus he should not have been caused by the good that he should have done, but it should have proceeded from another who by force should have caused him and given him the will, and he, by the means of that he so should do, should deserve the reward, and not only he, for little does one deserve who by force of another does serve. Who tomorrow should put me in a strong prison against my will to do good, I should not hold him wise, for he would do me wrong. Nevertheless, it was well in our lord's power if it had pleased him to make such a one who would not have sinned or done any harm or evil. But he had not yet deserved such merit or reward as he now does in no time of the world. And therefore God gave to man plain free will to do good or evil to the end that in doing good and living the evil he might have more merit, for. otherwise, he might not deserve so much / if God had made angels such as those who could not have sinned mortally / nor done evil, yet they would not deserve such noble rewards as men / And he who will deserve these high merits / he ought gladly with entire heart and perfect service love and reverence him who has made him to conquer and come to the highest honor / And our Lord God would that man be such / that by right he might deserve as much good for himself as he himself has / And therefore he gave to him wit and reason / for by right he ought well to serve him / Then is he a fool that does not strive to do well while he is living here / for all the good that every man shall do / shall be for himself / and all the evil also / and each man shall have for one good thing an hundred good things / and for one evil an hundred evils / for he is a fool that thinks to do any good to God from his goods in any manner that it is not his own. And when he abstains from doing evil, our lord holds him dearer and loves him better, for if he lost all the world, our lord would never be the less worth, nor would any of the goods that are in his power. If all the saints who ever were or shall be in the world had never done good and were perpetually damned in hell, yet our lord God would never have the less joy or consolation, nor be worth less, nor would anything in heaven be less. But the saints were wise, prudent, and constant, to do well and profitably, as those who plainly knew that this world is not but a transient thing and had much rather suffer pains and trials, offer their bodies to be tortured and martyred, and endure shames, blasphemies, and other injuries for the love of our lord in this miserable world, which lasts so little, than to have ease and changeable goods. They took the bit in their teeth to have everlasting pain, but they had no charge of such goods that would eventually be worthless. Instead, they took the reins to gain the right wisdom and understanding from Him. And there are many of them who are considered fools in this world, who now have their necks charged, while the others are delivered. They are lodged in heaven, and yet they hold many a wise man for a fool who does not greatly value their words. There are plenty of wise people in heaven now who, if they had praised the foolish dictates and sayings and the worthless works of the people who so covet the possessions and pleasures of this world for the words of fools, and had left the commandments of God, would have greatly displeased the saints in heaven. For they left not the delights of the world to serve their maker and creator to gain heaven, where they have joy and all honor, as those who are lords and will be without end. And if they had done otherwise, they would have perpetually endured shame and torment in hell, where all the evils that man can devise exist. It is a great marvel of this world that there are so many people who are willing to suffer pain and toil in order to be free of people or to amass great treasures, which last but a little time with them, than they are willing to acquire the goods of the Lord, which shall never fail. The blessed saints have obtained these by a little hard life that they have endured in this world, which seems but a right delight to them who do it with good heart. And in the end, it seems to them that they have gained heaven for little or nothing, and everyone can obtain it and come into the possession of the Lord's goods and enjoy the joys and glory of heaven, if the fault is not in themselves. But those who desire the joys, glory, and honors of this world, they immerse themselves in them. They should not learn good or understand their salvation, and they much preferred the ease and consolations of the body, which they had been suddenly taken from, to the sorrow and pain they endured. They did not praise the wit or understanding of a man if he could not have him in the world and have an abundance of temporal goods, by which he might be enhanced and lifted up in the world. But they called him nice and frivolous because he could not endure their malices and traps. However, all of them were cursed by God through the prophet David, who spoke thus to please the world in every way they could. For such pride is a vain thing, by which the soul is deceived. Of these people, David says in the Psalter, \"Cursed be they and confounded, as a people exiled who delight in the world,\" for they have extended all their goods and discord from God and His love since they have given them and granted them to the vanities and delights of the world. For God has despised them all / and turned them from his grace / because they seek the loose and the glory of the world / in which he was put out and set at a back / and there crucified, and held for a fool. Thus says our Lord God in his gospel / that all who despise the world / and will have and take the loose and glory of the world / it may not be but they after have sorrow. Therefore he is a fool who seeks to have it / for all such people are by the devil led into hell wherever sorrowful reward. And there is nowhere so valiant a king nor so powerful prince, duke, earl, knight, or nobleman to whom the devil has regard but that he does to him as much grief to his power, as to the most vile and most poor who come into hell, when he has so used his days and life that he is fallen in his honors. For all who are damned to go there, of what estate that they be, are called Ribalds. For he might have conquered in heaven more noble and more worthy realms than there is in this world. For whoever in this world serves our lord unto death, he is more honored in heaven than all the kings that ever were in this world who so little endure with us. Now serve them and leave the evil, the glory and the vanity of this world. Since then, as we have before devised why and how God created the world and why He made man, we shall devise to you afterward the form of the world and the fashion according to that it contains and comprises. But it is expedient that before this we speak of the seven liberal arts and of their reasons and how they. This book reveals, derived from astronomy, how ancient philosophers inquired about the manner in which the world was created by God, a subject of great wonder. When the world was formed and encircled, there were people who observed the firmament, which revolved around it. They marveled at how it could be made. These philosophers spent numerous nights and days studying. Then, they began to observe the stars that rose in the celestial sphere and revolved above their heads. These philosophers were not attracted to great feasts or delicious wines, nor did they fill their bellies like beasts that seek only their pasture, as is the case today. Those who revel in nothing but filling their bellies with good wines and good viands, and afterwards having a fair bed with white sheets and soft ones, and there to sleep like swine. But those were waking and studying many nights, and it troubled them not, but they were greatly delighted by what they saw - the firmament thus torn and so steadfastly holding its course and terms. Thus they saw the stars move, some on one side and some on the other, and some rising sooner than the others. The proud men-philosophers and others around the firmament watched until it was day, and they saw the sun show and rise in the morning, red and clear, which ascended and mounted half the day. And that other half descended so long until he went under, which brought the night approaching. Then came the stars again in the night in their courses until the sun came again and enlightened the day, and held his way and course until he returned on the morrow to his principal place. After them. She appeared differently to the world at various times. Once she was round, another time half, and later horned, and then round and full again. They knew by their intention that she approached the sun when she was even with him, and after departed. She withdrew herself more and more until she was beneath the sun as before, and then she went and came every night and day, turning and making her course about the firmament, as she does now without anything changing the contrary. But now, as the people think, they are more curious about their great and fat bellies, to fill and make them fat. By this they come sooner to their end and carry and are delivered first to toil and afterward to shame by their excessive nourishing and indulgence. The ancient fathers did not govern them in this way, for they set no limit on food and drink, but only taught them to alleviate their hunger and thirst to sustain their bodies and keep them healthy as much as they could, in order to come to the glory of our Lord. At that time, they lived twenty or thirty years longer than they do now. This is due to their follish and outrageous governance. Certainly such people do not understand well the word of our Lord when He spoke to the devil when He came to tempt Him and said that He should make bread from stones and eat it. Then Jesus Christ answered that man does not live only by bread, but by the word that proceeds from the mouth of God. If the men of these days understood this word well, they would retain more gladly the doctrines that proceed and come from the mouth of our Creator and Maker. However, the great rents and great treasures they have distract them. Coffers cause of shortening and abbreviating of their days / due to their disordered managements that overwhelmingly noise and grieve them, so that nature may not well bear nor sustain, wherein they must render their soul and die. Thus, their rents, their treasures or other things that delight them, take away their life, their heart, and their wit altogether at once. In such a way that when death comes and must necessarily die, they have lost wit and understanding. Of whom many are dead and damned. Which at their need may not be counseled nor can help themselves when they have most need. They do not live like those who studied to keep them from perils and used their life in such a manner that they would only sustain their body as long as they should be in this world, as those who well knew that this life should not endure long for them and had envy for none other thing but only to learn such science by which they might know the sovereign king almighty that all. They created it from nothing and formed it with His hand. Then, those of noble and virtuous intent among people believed that they could not know our Lord God nor of His great power unless they intended and searched in His works, which they found so excellent and great as they could inquire and know. For men shall never truly know the Master unless they first know perfectly His estate and what His works are. By His works is the workman known, and how He may be such a One. Therefore, the ancient fathers endeavored to employ themselves in His works and to attempt the service of our Lord. And first, to have knowledge of His power and His virtue, considering that they could not occupy themselves with a more dignified or worthy science or one more difficult. And the more they knew of His works and of His wisdom, the more they had the better will to love their Creator and Maker, considering that He had made such a noble and worthy thing as is He. Heaven is where the stars shine brightly, and its other marvelous virtues which they praised much, for they served him with good will, for it was all their affection, intention, and reason to know God. For as much as they knew certainly that God had given them with natural wit and reason to search and comprehend things of the heavens and of the earth as much as they might know, otherwise they could never have thought of it. A man, however wise and discreet he may be, can never truly come to understand the high secrets of God or his miracles, but by Him, for He knows all. But of those who are naturally made and ordered in heaven and on earth, man may well inquire about some reasons if it is given to him and if he is endowed with good quick wit, and if he has set and employed his time to study and learn. And since they had gained understanding and reason through their great study, labor, and travel, They believed that they might comprehend why and how the whole world was made and governed, as you have heard before. So they thought. They believed they could understand some things since they had an understanding of the Almighty, who knows in part or at least of those they could see with their eyes. Thus, they would know the reason for that which they saw making the stars of the firmament move and shine so brightly. This was the primary reason why they began to study the science they did not know, knowing they should inquire about things they saw before those they did not. Therefore, they were motivated to know and inquire about the science they did not know, having often seen the firmament move, and desiring to know the truth. They said it was good to know it, if it pleased God, and to know of His natural works, for the more perfectly to believe. know how he was all-mighty, for men could not know or find reasons of God but only by his works. The good ancient wise men, who diligently sought to understand this matter, had no desire for any other goods but only to learn the pure science. They were not covetous nor did they gather treasures. And there were many who appeared as wise men that it was a great charge for them at times to keep it as much as to spend it by measurement, as in other ways to get it and bring it to gather. And all this was a letting for them to learn. They deliberated among themselves and concluded that some cast and threw their treasures into the sea. Others gave it away and abandoned it to those who would take it, and went as hermits. Others departed it to poor people. And others left their goods in such a way as seemed to them that they should have less cause to think about it and retained nothing but only for their use. And they held with them certainty. People were to serve them only, intending to nothing but studying and learning. They made their houses distinct from the common people, setting them in such places where they might assemble and come together three or four times a week to console and amuse themselves. Each one reported his findings and learning, and they continued in this manner until they had determined what was true and who knew the most. By consensus of all, they chose the one with the greatest understanding as their master, and he recorded their findings, recalling them all to assemble and hear each man's report. In this way, the clergy were first established and organized. They traveled and studied extensively, knowing by the help of the Lord from whom all knowledge grows and abounds. However, this was not a small undertaking, for they spent a great deal of time in study and endured much hardship. All who understood and knew it, put it in writing as wisely as they could, so that those who would come after them and delve into the art might have their writings and continue in the science as they had done before. They compiled and did so much in their time that there were more than 2.5 million and 400 years before they had acquired the seven liberal arts and sciences through their labors and continuous studies. But they held their labor well employed and the pain they put into it, for they knew through their wit and their clergy that all that had come on earth by nature would submit to their cure when they would apply it. And they were not disheartened when a marvelous event happened in heaven or on earth, for they could inquire into the reason why it occurred, and since it occurred by nature, they loved God the more when they saw such marvelous works, and they watched many nights with great vigilance. joy and great study of this that they saw and found so high works, by which they amended themselves against our lord that they knew to be false, and left the vanity of this world, which is so little worth coming to the joy that never shall fail. Of whom plentiful were wise philosophers who died wrongfully and without reason, because they showed rightfully to the great lords and gave them fair examples in reproving and disparaging their evil tyrannies and extortions that they did to many people. And they preached to them right and truth. And those who would not believe them and were ashamed of being blamed by them, they made to be put in their prisons, where they made them to die by cruel torments, because they showed them the truth of which they were certain, like as was done to holy saints who suffered death and passion for the love of Jesus Christ whom they would enrage. So were there such philosophers who, by their wit and understanding, foretold the holy. During the time of Jesus Christ, as Virgil stated, which was during the reign of Caesar at Rome. Through which multitude of people have been better since, for he said that a new lineage was enjoyed from heaven above, which should perform virtues on earth, and by whom the devil should be overcome. Saint Paul, who saw this scripture and greatly revered it, said with a sorrowful heart, for they were all wise and valiant. They set clergy before all other things, for if it were not for clergy, men would not know that God existed. And if they had not been so wise and valiant as they were, there would never have been such great clergy as there is now. And if there were now men like them who established clergy in the first place, it would be different than it is now. But clergy goes astray now, almost to the point of perishing, for in these days the people do not seek out those who should understand virtues and teach others and instill them. and give an example to do well / they are the ones who recoil and withdraw from it. And all this proceeds from their folly, for no man holds the clergy in esteem for virtue, nor does he love it or apply it in all points. But many there are who seek lies and daringly leave the clear way / for no man learns or seeks now, but to connect so much that he might conquer and get the money. And when they have obtained and amassed it abundantly, then they are worse than they were before, for the money has so surprised them that they can intend for nothing else. There are plenty of poor clerks who gladly would learn if they had the power, but they cannot intend to it / because they have not wherewithal to furnish themselves with their necessities, not only for books but also because the poor must suffer. Yet there are plenty of rich clerks who have books without number and are richly adorned and held for wise and good clerks. ffor they seche to haue nomore / buf only the loos and preysing of the peple / And doo in lyke wyse as the Cock that shrapeth in the duste for to fynde pasture / he shrapeth so longe in the duste and mulle til he fynde a gemme riche and precyous whiche shyneth clere / thenne he begynneth to loke theron and beholdeth it / and doth nomore but late it lye / ffor he demandeth not af\u2223ter the ouche or gemme / but had leuir haue somme corn to ete / In like wise is it of many of thise not wise clerkis couetous that haue the precyous bookes richely lymined storyed and wel adoubed / that doo nothinge but loke and beholde them without forth while they be newe by cause them seme that they ben fair / & so they beholde them glad\u2223ly and passe therwith / and after they torne on that other side and thinke for to fylle their belyes / & to come to their folyssh desyres / And they myght lerne ynoughe yf they\nwolde entende it / ffor they haue wel the power / and myght doo as the wise men dyde herto fore / the whiche by their The clergy's study and diligence initially founded the sciences and arts, but they have diverted their attention and strayed from the path. Consequently, the sciences and arts have perished to such an extent that it is with great difficulty that they can identify the parts of reason, which is the first book of grammar, the foundation of the seven sciences. However, at Oxford and Cambridge, there are such clerks who are accustomed to desiring the renown and fame to be called masters, in order to be more respected and honored. They prefer to connect little and have the name of master, rather than be good clerks without holding the degree and name of master. However, they are called masters in vain, for vanity masters them in such a way that they can but little truth, because they have so soon acquired the name of master and leave the clergy, just as merchants and brokers do. And in this way, there are many in the world who have the name of master, but know right little. Those who now desire to be masters of these arts were not the original masters, for they ordered them otherwise than those who discovered them did. They first entered into grammar to draw reason into their order and after logic, to prove and show truth from falsehood. They then discovered rhetoric to speak fairly in judgment and right, which they greatly loved. After they discovered arithmetic for measurement and comprehension, and after they discovered geometry for measurement and mastery, and after they discovered the science of music for setting all things in concord, they had the understanding of astronomy, for thereby they had science and virtue. In this manner, you may understand how those who first discovered science ordered the seven arts or sciences. They are so interconnected that one cannot be authorized without the other, nor can the first be perfectly mastered without the last. Last without the first, and he who will learn one rightly and understand it, must learn all the others, for otherwise they cannot be known distinctly or certainly, since one is so common to the other. But now men seek only to learn the art to get money, and are to blame for that which the others were pressed to travel for, which is to our great need. For little would we have known if we had not seen it in writing. As before said, if clergy had been lost, we would have known nothing and who would have been God. Neither men nor beasts should ever have known what thing should be done, and all the world would have been damned. Then we would have been born in an evil hour, for the men would have known nothing more than dumb beasts. But all good things are now known, and all come from the seven sciences that philosophers found sometime by their wits. Through them they had understanding to love God and his virtues. that God is always and shall be without end, and they believed this in great faith according to the ancient law. But in these days, sciences perish due to our envy, detractions, and other evils in such a way that little is retained from one to another. For now, no man understands but for riches. For preachers are felons and envious men who wish to learn no good, and if they see anyone intending to pursue sciences and the clergy, and they are not rich and powerful enough to support them, the rich men will scorn and mock them immediately. The devil will then urge them, who is their master and their lord, and it pleases him that they mess about in this way, promising them great hire that they will be sure to have all evil fortunes in hell that stink where they will mock themselves and say that they were born in an evil hour, when they have not learned that they ought to learn. They will have more profit from their sciences, who loved to conquer the clergy, than the fool to connect the knots to assemble them. Grete treasurs and the grete riches, and know ye that all who for to get worldly goods left their time for to learn, are assured to have evil and pain after their death. For by their avarice and cheuau\u0304t, the sciences come to naught, so that which now is known comes and grows from the vices of Paris, Oxford, Cambridge, and others.\n\nNow reigns the clergy strongly in France in the city of Paris, as it once did in the city of Athens, which then was much noble and powerful. The philosophers who were then, and who ought to teach and learn, accounted but three manners of people in the world, according to their understanding: clerks, knights, and laborers. The laborers ought to seek for the clerks and knights such things as were necessary for them to live honestly in the world, and the knights ought to defend the clerks, and the laborers that there were no wrongs done to them, and the clerks ought to teach. These are the people to teach and address in such a way that none does anything that would displease God or lose His grace. In ancient times, the wise philosophers distinguished three kinds of people in the world. They were those who knew that no man could set his heart on one thing alone and be truly wise in two or three ways. For it had never happened in the entire world that clergy, knights, and laborers could be known and learned from by one man throughout his life. Therefore, he who wished to learn should only learn one of the three, and the philosophers set three kinds of people in the earth, for they sought the very truth and looked for a place in the world where they might best be and dwell to inquire about the state of the clergy. And they chose Athens, which was a noble city and once had been their common residence and assembly place. There, the first reign of chivalry and clergy coexisted. after it went to Rome, which now is of great renown, and there chivalry continued for a long time. And afterwards it removed into France, where chivalry has more power than any other place in the world. And thus it behaved there, one and another, for chivalry always sees clergy wherever it goes. Then, the king of France and England may be joyous that there is such sovereignty as the science of clergy in their realms, where every man may draw out wit and knowledge human, and there it never abides less. For it is like a fountain that continually springs and surges, and the more it runs and the farther, the more it is wholesome. And the more the spring of the fountain runs and the farther, so much the more water there is. And in like manner, I may tell you that Oxford and Cambridge are the fountains where men may draw out most science, and more in Paris than in other places. And since it is so that clergy is so advanced in France, Then we ought to know that the heirs of France should connect it, for just as the sun is the fairest of all stars and causes most good things to grow in the world through its bounty, so the king should be of more value than any other and have more understanding and clergy, so that by his valor and sufficiency he might shine among other people, and by the example of his well-doing that they see in him, they might by right conduct draw them to our lord. Therefore, it would be well and reasonable that they do their diligence to learn such clergy and science, for by nature and lineage they all ought to love clergy and always learn it. Certainly, the emperor of the Germans loved clergy with all his heart and advanced it to his power in France. He retained all the good clerks he could find in his court. Sent for them where he knew only that he had in his time many a travail, many a pain, & many a dangerous and unpleasant experience for maintaining and enhancing Christian faith. And therefore he never left, but held the clergy in great reverence, for he learned continually, as found in his deeds. He was a good astronomer and was much revered in Lorraine, for he dwelled there. And yet there are many of his jewels fair and rich that he gave to churches as a good blessed man as he was. Truly he loved God above all other things, and did much diligence in his time for bringing the sciences and the clergy into France, and they still reign there by his prowess. And may almighty God hold it, and that it may always be maintained in the city, for if the study went out of France, knighthood would follow, as it has always done. The king of France keeps it late, for he may well lose his realm if the clergy depart from France. There are also other people in France who have recently come, and they are minor friars of the Order of Minors and Jacobins. These people have taken on religion out of love for God to learn and serve Him. Our lord has shown us great honor and reverence through them, as they retain all the flower of the clergy in their orders for address and enhance our mother holy church through their study and labor. They have good will to serve our lord and learn sciences and the holy scripture, as those who have given over the world and abandoned it. And it seems to me that they do as did those who set them by the side of the people in their cloisters for the better to gain the merit of heaven in leaving worldly possessions. Our lord has shown great bounty to those who have them in their cities, castles, and towns, for they serve. not for deceit and barter, but travel in preaching and making sermons to bring people to good life and to the way of truth. I often endure great suffering to bring others to ease. I believe well that if they were not about and good preaching and teaching, Christendom would be expelled by error and evil belief. If they hold and keep what they have acquired as those who have laid down under them all the riches of the world without returning to it, then they have a good manner, for they have taken on themselves for the love of our Lord the life of poverty, and plenteous others do the same. Therefore, we ought to give thanks to God and direct our hearts to do well, so that by right we might go to the joy of heaven through our good deeds, of which God gives us the ability to deserve that thereof we may be partners. However, since you have heard it recounted how the seven arts or sciences\n\n(Note: The text appears to be in Middle English, and there are some errors in the OCR transcription. The text seems to be coherent and readable, so only minor corrections are necessary. The text appears to be a section from a sermon or religious text, likely from the Middle Ages.)\n\nnot for deceit and barter, but travel in preaching and making sermons to bring people to good life and to the way of truth. I often endure great suffering to bring others to ease. If they were not about and good preaching and teaching, Christendom would be expelled by error and evil belief. If they hold and keep what they have acquired as those who have laid down under them all the riches of the world without returning to it, then they have a good manner, for they have taken on themselves for the love of our Lord the life of poverty, and plenteous others do the same. We ought to give thanks to God and direct our hearts to do well, so that by right we might go to the joy of heaven through our good deeds, of which God gives us the ability to deserve that thereof we may be partners. However, since you have heard it recounted how the seven arts or sciences:\n\n1. Grammar\n2. Rhetoric\n3. Logic\n4. Arithmetic\n5. Geometry\n6. Music\n7. Astronomy\n\nwere established by the seven liberal arts, let us praise them and hold them in high esteem. The following text describes the seven sciences, starting with grammar, which is essential for the perfection of the other six. Without grammar, none of the other sciences are of little recommendation. The first of the seven sciences is grammar. For the time being, the fourth part of it is not known to us. Without this science, all other sciences are of little use. For grammar is the foundation and beginning of clergy, and it is the yardstick by which, in the fancy, things have begun and continued, so that men come and attain to the desire of clergy. This is the science that forms speech, be it in Latin, French, or English, or any other language that men speak with. Whoever could master all grammar could make and construct every word and pronounce it by example. God made the world by word, and the word is to the world a sentence.\n\nThe seventh science is called logic, which proves the proposition and the contrary. That is to say, the truth or reality, and otherwise. And it proves how the true may be known from the false, and the good from the evil, so truly that for the good was heaven created and made, and on the contrary, for the evil, hell was created and established, which is horrible, stinking, and dreadful.\n\nThe third of the seven sciences is called Rhetoric, which contains in substance righteousness. The fourth science is called arsmetrique. This science comes after rhetoric and is set in the middle of the seven sciences. Without it, none of the seven sciences can be perfectly and entirely known. Therefore, it is expedient that it be well known. For this reason, it is set in the middle of the seven sciences and holds its name, as all manners of numbers proceed from it. Things come and go, and nothing is without number, but few perceive how this is. If he has been master of the seven arts so long that he can truly say the truth, but we cannot now reckon or declare all the causes, for whoever would dispute about such works, him it behooved to dispute and know many things and much of the gloss. Whoever knew well the science of arithmetic could see the order of all things. By ordinance was the world made and created, and by the ordinance of the sovereign it shall be defended.\n\nThe fifth is called geometry, which reveals more about astronomy than any of the seven other arts. For by geometry, astronomy is compassed and measured. By geometry, all things are measured where there is measure by geometry. The courses of the stars, which always go and move, can be known, and the greatnesses of the firmament of the sun, the moon, and the earth can be known. By geometry, all things and also their qualities can be known if they are not too far if they can be seen. The sixth of the seven sciences is called music. This science of music is part of harmonious arts. From this science of music comes all temperament, and from this art comes some physics, for music and physics are not among the seven sciences of philosophy, but rather a craft that tends to the health of the human body, and preserves it from all diseases and weaknesses as long as life remains in the body. It is not liberal, for it serves to heal the body, which often perishes easily, and there is nothing liberal or free that grows from it. Since a science that serves the body restricts its freedom, but a science that serves the soul deserves to be called liberal in the world, for the soul ought to be liberal as well. The thing that is noble and divine, as she who comes from God, and wills and ought to return to God, and therefore are the seven liberal sciences, for they make the soul free and deliver it from all evil. On the other hand, they teach and engage everyone in doing what is proper in every thing. This is the very reason why these arts are called the seven liberal sciences, for they make the soul free and deliver it from all evil.\n\nOf this art is music, which agrees so well with each one that by it the seven sciences were brought into harmony and still endure. Through the science of music, all the songs sung in holy church and all the harmonies of all instruments with diverse sounds are extracted and drawn. And where there is reason and understanding of some things, certainly he who can well the science of music knows the harmony of all things. And all the creatures that strive to do well remain in concordance.\n\nThe seven and Last of the seven liberal sciences is astronomy, which is of all things the end. By this science, one may and should inquire about things in heaven and on earth, and in particular about those made by nature, how far they are, and who knows and understands astronomy can set things in order, for our Creator made all things by reason and gave a name to each thing. By this art and science, we were first inspired and obtained all other sciences of decrees and divinity. By which all Christians are converted to the true faith of our Lord God, to love him, and to serve the almighty king from whom all goods come and to whom they return. Who made all astronomy, and heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars, as he who is the very ruler and governor of all the world, and he who is the very refuge of all creatures, for without his pleasure nothing can endure. Indeed, he is the very Astronomer, for he knows all, the good and the bad. He who composed astronomy, that was once so strongly frequented and held in high regard, for it is a science of such noble being, that he who might possess the perfect knowledge of it could well know how the world was compassed and plentiful of other partial sciences, for it is the science above all others by which all manner of things are known more accurately. By the science of astronomy alone, all the seven aforementioned [things] were found. And without them, none can know true astronomy, however wise and mighty he may be. In like manner, a hammer or any other tool of a mason is the instruments by which he forms his work, and by which he practices his craft. In the same way, the other instruments and foundations of astronomy are the means by which the ancient wise men, kings, princes, dukes, earls, knights, and other great lords, through their understanding, great travel, study, and the high conduct set in them by good manners, excelled in it. Payne and labor to learn and know the sciences and arts of the clergy, to understand the science of astronomy. They traveled for so long that, by the will of the Lord, they learned and knew enough to handle great affairs and works in the world. They desired nothing worldly, as those who knew the reasons for such things did. At that time, if a man was bound to one or more, or came from a mean extraction, and was rich and possessed great goods, he dared not study the seven liberal arts, for the nobles and high men kept them principal, and those who were free and liberal did so name them, for they are so free that they render the soul to God entirely, and they are so well suited that nothing can be taken away from them or added, however much anyone might wish or could meddle with them. A good clerk and expert, if they were altered or changed anything that might be, would be disfigured, as they are compositionally reasonable and true. No man living in the world, be he Jew or Christian, can change or take away or defile anything in any manner. Whoever perfectly knew the seven arts would be exempt from all laws, for there is no one who could interrupt him in anything he wished, whether it was true or otherwise, because he would prove it with quick reason. He is a fool who thinks he can perfectly know anything that pertains to the clergy, unless it comes to him by miracle of God. If he cannot master any of the seven sciences, then all his labor would be of no value, and he should not be recommended or prove by right the pro and. contra / Therfore the vij sciences ben byleued in alle the lawes / there as they ben red / And ther is noman be he neuer of so dyuerse a lawe ne of so diuerse langage that yf he conuerse with peple that can nothyng of the vij sciences ne preue of their vsages ne of their partes that\nshal be bileuid for experte and wise / Ne ther shal neuer be paynem ne sarrasyn so moche diuerse / that a Cristen man or a Iewe may withsaye hym of thinges that he wil aleg\u2223ge or preue / And the decretals ne the lawes be not euyl / thaugh somme peple holde euyl the constitucions that ben emonge them / bicause that other doo them and holden / ffor alle the lawes depende of the vij sciences / and alle men byleue them and reteyne them / there where as peple kno\u2223we them And alle resons that procede of the vij sciences ben trewe in alle causes and in alle places / Thus ben not the sciences mugod created nature altherfirst / and tofore he created ony other thinge that apperteyned to the world And we ought to fore alle other werke saye and declare what she is, after describing the world, for the firmament tears and moves by nature, and likewise do all things that have motion. Nature moves the stars and makes them shine and grow, and also can annoy and cause grief as much as she will. And because all men do not well understand what follows in substance, we shall declare a little of our matter a long time, for to give a better understanding of what nature is and how she works, so that you may comprehend the fashion of the world more fully, if you will well understand the reasons.\n\nOur Lord God created nature first, for she is the thing by which all creatures and other works have endured and lived, whatever they may be ordained by God. Nothing is plainly His, for her work is always whole if she finds matter, in persons or in beasts. Then, above all others, her works should be recommended as she who does this. Nothing that in any way contradicts God, but where matter lacks, she leaves to work, and the more matter there is, the more she works. As men see of some beasts, some have two heads and six feet, or it has a member less than it ought to have, which it abides without true form, and may be called therefore a monster. Also, men sometimes see others that almost lack all, and others that have plenty and abundance in their faith. All fall often and are seen to happen upon some men, who when they are born, have six fingers on one hand, and others have one or two or three less than they should have, or lack an entire member. A little man is often well-made and even-tempered, for there is no member but it is well-made and fitting to his body. A fair child sometimes in its growing becomes foul. Some will have their wills, and others desire it little. Each has his talent and his appetite. A well-mixed person. All as he should to that which his part other might not understand or not think that they would accomplish, and other do and make plenty of things that some cannot or may not do or make. For in the persons there are so many different days and facions not like and of wills that men shall not find in any country of the world two men that perfectly resemble, who far they may seek, but that they are diverse in some cases, or of body or members or understanding or the visage or their sayings or their factions or deeds. For the power of nature is so diverse that there is nothing that has growing but that she has upon it might, in such a way that she gives to one some thing that another has not in him. Howbeit, no man can perceive any distance. Such is the virtue of Nature, understood by one man that engenders another, and by beasts by plants and by seeds, which after their semblances grow and after their fashion. And lo, this is that the wise Plato says, who was a great scholar. Aristotle is said to have received this from the high prince, as he bestowed virtue upon the firmament and stars for study in many books concerning nature. Many other philosophers held that nature proceeded from the virtues of heat, which causes all things to grow and nourish. However, for the present, I will pass over this to speak of other matters. The philosophers esteemed Plato above Aristotle, as they said. And they spoke so loftily, as previously stated, that few scholars could grasp it. He is not the one who can fully comprehend it, save God, who knows and sees all, and who first established all things to accomplish them. By this, it may be known that God is of great power. It is a great thing from Him when, without toil, He created and formed such an excellent and lofty work. Therefore, He created and made man as an end. He might be so mighty and have such wit and understanding in himself, that he knew by nature what could grieve him in his soul, and live for our lord. If he will conduct himself justly and rightfully, he may well bring his heart to that, so that nature will not grieve him in any way. And therefore, the seven sciences or arts were found, to take away evil thoughts that might bring a man to death, which they can destroy through the sciences. Thus, one can change his [--] He will receive all the good, and he is a fool who loves his body so much that he forgets to save his soul, which God has lent to him pure and clean to render it such again at his death, and that he governs himself not in such a way that by his fault and defect he defiles himself in sins, he who conducts himself thus, does in like manner as the evil servant did, to whom the master delivered his goods for multiplication in the good, but he did not justly as he should have. That was of evil faith. Therefore, the master seeing his untruth chased him away from him. And ever after, he had shame and reproach, as the gospel witnesses and recalls. All in like manner shall it be of those who leave the good grain for the chaff. These are they who suffer their souls to perish for the pleasure of their bodies. Of which all evils come to them. For this present, I leave the declaration of the seven sciences and of nature. And by the grace of God, I purpose to devise the fashion of the world, how it is by nature made and portrayed by God. Which of one only will created and formed the world and all that is thereof appendant.\n\nNow attend to this that we say:\n\nGod formed the world all round. Like a ball, which is all round, and He made the heaven all round, which envelops and goes round about the earth on all sides, holy without any defect,\n\nAll in like manner as the shell of an egg which envelops the white all about. And so heaven goes around an air which is above it, called ether. This is to say, pure air and clear. For it was made of pure and clear purity. This air shines night and day with perpetual resplendence and is so clear and shining that if a man were standing in that place, he would see all, one thing and another, and all that is from one end to the other, lightly or more, as a man should do here beneath on the earth, the only length of a foot or less, yet if he had need. I say to you, whoever was there, he might see all around him, both far and near. The air is so clear and fine. Of this ether, angels take their bodies and wings. When our Lord God sends them here in message, they take on bodies and wings in it. And therefore, they seem to be so clear to sinful men in this world that their eyes cannot endure the resplendence or behold the great clarity. They that are filled with obscurities and darkness, that is, with sins and the iniquities of which they are possessed. It often happens that when angels come to any man in any place by the will of God to speak and show their message, that while the angel speaks to him, he falls to the ground as if he were asleep or in a trance. He seems not to hear the word of the angel but as if in a dream, and is mute until the time that the angel returns. Then, when he is awakened and comes to himself, he remembers well the saying of the angel and what he had shown him. I tell you for truth that no bodily man may sustain looking at him in any manner, for a man is made of heavy matter. Neither bird nor fowl, however strong or swift, can endure to be there. But he must come down as soon as a stone until he comes to the place where he may repay his swiftness. If he were not abashed to descend. There may be nothing but if it is spiritual, for it cannot live there, as no more than fish can live in this air where we are in, nor sustain it, but it must die and soon perish, unless it is continually nourished in the water. I say the same of us, for we cannot move in this spiritual air perpetually nor live nor dwell there as long as we have a mortal body.\n\nThis clarity, which we have spoken of, called spiritual air, and where angels take their array and surround all about the world, the four elements which God created and set one within the other. Of which one is the fire, the second is there, the third is water, and the fourth is earth, of which one is fastened in that other, and that one sustained it in such a manner as the earth holds it in the middle. The fire, which is the first, encloses this air, in which we are, and this air encloses the water after. The whole earth holds it around, alike as an egg; and in the middle of the yolk is also a drop of grease which holds on neither side. In the same way, the earth is set in the middle of heaven, so justly and equally, that as far is the earth from heaven above as from below, for wherever thou art upon it, thou art alike far from heaven. Like the point of a compass which is set in the middle of the circle, it is set in the lowest place, for of all forms that are made in the compass, the point is always lowest in the middle. Therefore, the heaviest one holds it in the middle, and that which is heaviest dwells about it. For the thing which weighs most draws most low. All that is heavy draws it toward the earth, and therefore we ought to join ourselves to the earth, and all that is extracted from it, if it were possible and if it might happen that there was nothing upon it but water or other thing that obstructed the way. Whichever part a man would go around, whether it be nearer or farther, that which he would choose, is like a fly going around a round apple. In the same way, a man might go around it as far as it lasts by nature, all around, so that he should come under us, and it should seem to him that we were under him, for he would hold his feet against ours and his head toward heaven, no more or less than we do here, and his feet toward it, and if he went always in the direction before him, he would go so far that he would come back to the place from whence he first departed. If it were so that by accident two men departed from one another, And one went equally toward the east, and the other toward the west; they should meet again in the opposite place from where they parted, and both should return to the place from whence they had first departed. For both had been circling the earth above and below, just as a wheel that was steadied in the middle should circle it, since she draws all heavy things toward her, and that which is heaviest draws and holds most toward the middle. For the deeper one delves in it, the heavier he will find it. To understand this, I have described to you beforehand the fly's movements around an apple and the men around it. In the same way, you can see all manner and form of this by these two figures, which are here presented to you entirely. And to better understand and conceive this more clearly, you should know that the heaven is divided right in the middle. And if one throws a stone or a heavy lead ball that is well-weighed when it should come to the middle and halfway through it, it should rightly abide there and hold itself, for it might neither go lower nor rise higher, but if it were that by the force of its great height it might fall more deeply than the middle, but it should then rise again in such a way that it should abide in the middle of it, never to move thence. For it would be equally over all under the firmament which tears night and day, and by the virtue and might of its tearing, nothing poisonous and heavy may approach it, but always withdraws beneath it. And you may see the nature and understanding of this by the present figure. On the other side, and if the earth were pierced through in two places. And yet, that which was cut into the shape of a cross with two holes, and four men stood at the four heads of these holes. One above and another beneath, and similarly on both sides. Each of them threw a stone into the hole, whether it was great or small, the stone should come to the middle without ever being removed from thence, unless drawn away by force. And if they held one another around to take their place in the middle, and if the stones were of equal weight, they would all come together at one time, as one can clearly see from this figure.\n\nIf their weights and powers were not equal from the place from where they should fall, that which was heaviest would come to the middle of them first, and the other would be all around it, as this second figure clearly shows on the other side. And so much may be cast in them that the holes may be full, just as they were before. As you may plainly see in this figure, which shows you the plain truth. Now this suffices for the moment; and later we shall speak of other things.\n\nNow then, please listen to me plainly as I explain to you how the earth is round. Whoever might be able to fly high in the sky and behold by eyes and sight the heights of the great mountains and the great and deep valleys, the great waves of the sea and the great floods, they would appear less impressive to them than a man seems to an apple or under his finger, for neither mountain nor valley, however high or deep it may be, takes away from the earth's roundness any more than a gall's prick does from its roundness. For the earth must be round, for it needs to gather more people, and we shall say to you later how the world must necessarily be round.\n\nGod formed the world. Around, of all the four forms, that be of what diverse manners they may be, none can be so plentiful or receive so much by nature as the round figure. For it is the most ample of all figures that you may take example by, for there is none so wise or subtle in all things nor so capable of understanding that can make a vessel, be it of wood or stone or metal, that can be so ample or hold within it so much in right quantity as the round figure can. Nor can any man understand that it must take other place than this, except for the Round, which may move round without taking other place, for she may have no other than the first, nor pass one only line or ray from the place where she holds her in. Which is not round, and make them both turn, the corners of them that are not. Ben not round shall take various places,\nThat the round one seeks not,\nAnd you see this in the three figures here,\nOf which one is round all around,\nAnd the other two, you may see squared.\n\nThere is another thing under heaven,\nOf whatever diverse form it be,\nThat can move so lightly by nature,\nAs can the round one.\nAnd therefore God made the world round,\nTo ensure that it might be filled on all sides,\nFor He will leave nothing void,\nAnd will that it turn day and night,\nFor it behooves to have motion on the heaven,\nWhich makes all to move,\nFor all motion comes from heaven.\nTherefore it behooves to move lightly and swiftly.\n\nOh Lord God gave motion to the heaven,\nWhich goes so swiftly and appropriately,\nThat no man can comprehend in his thought,\nBut it seems not to us for His greatness,\nNo more than it should seem to a man,\nIf he saw from afar a horse run\nOn a great mountain. should not seem to him that he went only past, and the farther he should be from him, the less he should seem to go; and the heaven is so high and far off or of metal, and began to fall from a high above, this thing is proved and known, that it should not come to there till the end of a hundred year; so much and far is the heaven from us; The which is so great, that all the earth round about has nothing against it in greatness, any more than the point or prick in the midst of the greatest compass that may be, nor to the greatest circle that may be made thereon; and if a man were above in heaven, and beheld and looked here down in the earth, and that all the earth were burning all in cool flames and lighting, it would seem to him less than the least star, that is above, seems to us here in the earth; therefore it may well be known that the heaven must lightly move, when it. The sun makes its journey and goes around there in a day and a night, as we can observe by the sun, which rises in the east or south and sets in the west, and in the morning we see it rise again in the east because it has completed its course around there, which we call a day, containing day and night. The sun never rests or finishes going with the heavens, like the nail fixed in the wheel, which tears when it tears. However, because it moves against the course or turning of the firmament, we will give you another reason. If a fly went around a wheel that turned itself, and the fly went against it, the wheel would bring the fly with it. Therefore, it would fall out that the wheel would make many turns while the fly makes one turn, and before she had gone around the wheel to the beginning. first poynt / So ye muste vnderstonde that in suche manere goon the mone and the sonne / by away that is comune to the vij planetes that ben on the heuen / whiche alle goo by the same way / alleway toward the toward the weste / lyke as nature ledeth hym / Thus and herwith the first partie taketh his ende of this present booke / And shal folowe for to deuyse of the se\u2223conde partye of therthe and of the fourme of the firma\u2223ment / \n\u00b6Thus endeth the first partye of this present book / \nSYth that the erthe is so lytil as ye haue herd here world vs semeth that the erthe is moche grete we haue declared to yow as wel the roundenesse as the gretenes to our power and that shortly Syth we haue vnderstande how the erthe is rounde on all partes as an apple / Neuertheles it is not enhabited in alle partyes whiche is wel knowen / of no peple of the world / And it is not enhabited but in one quarter only lyke as the philosophres haue enserched / whiche put for to knowe it grete trauayll and estudye / and therfore we shal And it is divided into four parts, of which you may take example by an apple which is partitioned by the middle in four parts, equally in length and breadth by the core. Take a quarter and stretch the parchment to see and understand the figure on the plane earth or in your hand.\n\nAt the end of this line, like as it goes straight, we may see a city which is called Aaron. It is set in the middle of the world and was made round. Astronomy was first discovered here through great study, great mastery, and great diligence. This place Aaron is called the midday, which is that which is set in the middle of this line and goes straight toward the left side, is called septentron, that is to say north, and takes its name from the seven stars, and turns toward another star that leads sailors by the sea. In that other line which is in the middle, the south cuts in the end toward the east, as the Authors say, is paradise terrestrial, where Adam was placed. This place is called the Orient, that is to say the east, for from thence comes the sun, which makes the day about the world. The other is called Occident, that is to say the west, for there the day fails and grows dark when the sun goes down there. Thus and by this reason are the four parties of the world named: the first contains the east, the second the west, the third the south, and the fourth the north. Of these four, these that we show you here should have a round form, for reason and nature give that the whole world is round. Therefore, understand this quarter as if it were all round. Now make this quarter a circle that is all round and whole, and let us set it in the middle of this line that represents it to you plainly. After each party is turned toward its\n\nThis text describes the four cardinal directions - east (Orient), west (Occident), south, and north - and explains why they are named as such based on the sun's position. The text also emphasizes that these directions should be considered as if they form a round circle. This text describes the division of the world into three parts: Asia, Europe, and the unknown third part. Here is the cleaned version of the text:\n\nAsia, the fourth part of the world, is represented in this figure. All inhabited regions in the world are divided into three parts for this reason. Asia, which is toward the east, is called by the name of a queen who once ruled this region and was called Asia. This vast region extends from the north to the south, as shown in the figure. Europe, the second part, is named after its lord and was so called. Each of these three parts of the world holds many regions and countries. We will declare the names and the common names of some of them, particularly those that are most noble. Thus, we will tell you about the conditions and forms of some, and in particular, those that are most renowned. The first region of Asia, great is paradise terrestrial. This is a place full of solace, pleasures, and delights, so that none who are therein may be grieved or have any evil in any manner of the world. In this paradise is the tree of life, and he who had eaten of its fruit would not die as long as the world endures. But no living man may come there, unless the Lord God or His angel conducts and brings him there. Around it is enclosed with fire burning, which goes flaming up to the clouds. Therein is found and springs a fountain or well which is divided into four floods. Of whom one is called the unfathomable, which runs a long way through the realm of Inde and departs into many arms or branches. It sources from the mountain called Ortobares. is toward thorient / and falleth in to the see Occian / The second of the four flodes is named gyon / or nylus / whiche entreth in to therthe by an hool / And renneth vnder the erthe so ferre that it resourdeth in to the longe see whiche enuyron\u2223neth\nalle Ethiope so that it departeth in to vij parties / & goth rennyng by egypte so longe that it cometh and fal\u2223leth in to the grete see / The other ij flodes of whiche that one is callyd Tygris / and that other Eufrates sourden in hermenye nygh vnto a moche grete montayne whiche is named partheacus / And thise two flodes trauerse ma\u2223ny grete contrees so longe tyl they mete in the see moyen where bothe two falle inne lyke as theyr nature requyreth On this side paradys terrestre alle aboute ben many dy\u2223uerse places withoute ony resorte / ffor none may dwelle there nand heery whiche de\u2223uAnd many other wylde beestes / \nAffter comen the contrees of yndes whiche take their name of a water that is called ynde / whiche sourdeth in the north / The yndes ben closed with the In India, there is an island named Prosperity, where ten cities and numerous towns are located. Every year, there are two summers and two winters. The climate is always temperate, and flowers and fruit grow continuously on the trees. The island is abundant in gold and silver and fertile in other things. There are great mountains of gold and precious stones and other riches. However, no one dares to approach it due to dragons and griffins, whose bodies are like lions and easily carry away a man armed and sitting on his horse when they seize him with their claws and wings. There are yet many other places so delightful, so sweet, and so spiritual that if a man were there, he would say it was a paradise.\n\nIn the land of India, there is a very large mountain, which people call Mount Capuan, and it is a vast region. There is a people there without wit and without understanding. The text describes the land where King Alexander included the Goths and Magoths, also known as Gog or Magog. These people consume raw flesh, whether human, female, or beast. They are referred to as Pygmies, who are as small as dwarves. Nearby grows pepper, but the vermin is so great that they must set fire to it to drive them away, resulting in blackened, scorched pepper. There are also people called Groyne and Bragman, who are fairer than those mentioned before, and will sacrifice themselves to save others by throwing them into a burning fire.

There are also people called Groyne and Bragman, who are fairer than those mentioned before, and will sacrifice themselves to save others by throwing them into a burning fire. There is another type of people, whose parents or friends are among them. In olden times, they sacrificed and consumed the elderly and infirm, considering it great wealth, worship, and generosity. Towards the outside world, they saw nothing more beautiful in their eyes, believing in it as their god. However, there were also rough people who ate raw fish and drank seawater. Among them were people with hooves instead of feet, having six toes on each foot. In these lands, there were great numbers of fearsome and terrible beasts, with bodies of men and heads of dogs, possessing such large claws or wings that they could arrest and clothe themselves with the hides and skins of animals. They had the manner of wisdom of barking dogs. There were also others called Cyclops. passe by rennyng the wynde / \n& haue only but one fote / of whiche the plante is so righand that standeth right in the myddys of the fronte or forhede whiche is so reed and so clere that it semeth properly fyre brennyng / And there also ben founde another maner of peple that haue the visage and the mouth in the myddle of their breste / and haue one eye in euery sholdre / and their nose hangeth doun to their mouth / & haue brestles aboute their mosell lyke swyne / yet ben ther founden toward the ryuer of ganges a maner of strange peple and curtoys / whiche haue the right fygure of a man / whiche lyue on\u2223ly by the odour and smellyng of an apple only / And yf they goo ferre in to ony place / they haue nede to haue thap\u2223ple wyth them / ffor yf they fele ony stenche euyll & stync\u2223kyng and haue not thapple / they deye incontynent / \nIN ynde ben plente of serpentes / whiche ben of suche force and myght / that they deuoure and take by strengthe the hertes and buckes / yet ther is another ma\u2223ner beste whiche is callyd Centaur, who has the heart's horn in the middle of his face.

A man with three huge, great teeth in his throat, eyes like a ghost and the body of a lion, tail of a scorpion, and voice of a serpent, sings so sweetly that he attracts people and devours them. He is more eager to go than a bird to fly. There is also a kind of oxen or cattle that have round feet and in the middle of their foreheads have three horns. However, there is another beast of great beauty or fair shape of body, which is called \"And,\" and has but one horn, in the middle of its forehead, which is four feet long and sharp like a sword and cutting like a razor. All that it encounters and touches is broken and cut. This beast is of such condition that by any engine it is taken, it suffers great despair and dies. But it cannot be taken except by a pure virgin, who is set before it where it shall pass. She must be well and gently adorned. Then comes the... Bestowed upon the maid, sleeping peacefully in her lap, he is taken unawares. In the mind, there are other beasts with clear spots on their bodies, so strong and fearsome that no man dares approach them. They are called Tigers. These beasts run swiftly and, by such great might, the hunters cannot escape them in any way, unless they use mirrors of glass and cast them in their path. Tigers are of such nature that when they see their reflection, they believe it to be their fawns. They continue to investigate the mirrors for a long time until they break them and see nothing more, providing the hunters with an opportunity to escape. Occasionally, these tigers exhibit such a fixation on their images that they are taken while looking away, completely engrossed. However, there are other beasts called Castors. They possess a unique trait: when they are hunted relentlessly, they bite their own genitals. ballocks and let them fall / and thus they held themselves / for they well know that for none other thing they are hunted / also there grows another best like a mouse / & has a little one which is fed and nourished in the fire / This Samnadre bears wool / of which is made cloth and girdles that may not burn in the fire / There are yet many which are as great as cats & also swift in running / Toward the forest are the lions which have more strength and might / in their beasts to fore and in all their members than any other beast has / And they come to feed their fawns the third day after they have fawned / as they that were dead and are as raised again from death / & when they sleep they hold their eyes open / And when hunters hunt them they cover the tracks of their feet with their tails / They shall never do harm or grief to man / but if they are angered / And when they are assailed / is so terrible and dreaded / that no best dares approach it / And by nature the lion doubts and A panther is painted with spots of white, black, green, blue, and yellow. It has a sweet scent and is filled and full of venison. The panther sleeps for three days without waking. When it awakens, it emits a sweet scent and smell that instantly attracts animals. A panther has only one set of young fawns. When the doe is ready to give birth, she experiences such distress and anguish that she scratches and tears her womb in such a way that her fawns are born. Once the womb is torn and broken, they no longer give birth to fawns. There is a type of mare that conceives by the wind and lives in a region called Capadocia. They can only survive for three years. In this region live the Oliphants, a large, fierce beast. When they see their blood shed before them, they become courageous and fierce. The people of India and Persia frequently encountered oliphants, a large and strong creature, in all battles. An oliphant is known for its great and large tour (tusk) which they ate, enabling them to run at men and devour them instantly. King Alexander burned and set them before him to fight against those on oliphants. When oliphants cast their belly, killing the men with it, feeling the heat, the men taught to fight them would no longer approach, fearing the fire. They believed all men were as hot as those made of copper, filled with fire. Thus, King Alexander, as a wise prince, avoided the peril and danger of these oliphants and conquered this wild people, taming oliphants so they dared not meet or encounter each other. They bowed their heads, one to quench the other's fiery breath. A unicorn's tooth is yours / Unicorns have only one fawn at a time, which they bear in their flanks / A unicorn lives for three hundred years / It doubts and fears the well and culture, and dreads worms / If the culture clues in and is on its back, it does not depart until it has slain it / She fawns her fawns and hides them where there is no wood, and fawns in the water / For if she lay there, she would never arise without joints from the belly to the feet / And when the unicorn wishes to sleep, it leans against a tree and sleeps standing up / Hunters who know the trees to which they are accustomed, when the unicorn comes and does not know this and wishes to sleep and leans against the tree, and falls with the tree to the ground and cannot help himself / Then it begins to bawl / Sometimes many unicorns come to help him / And when they cannot remedy and raise him, they cry. and they lift and make a marvelous sorrow / Those who are smallest and weakest go about to lift and raise him to their power in such a way that sometimes they lift and raise him up / But when they cannot lift or relieve him / they go their way mournfully and making great sorrow and leave him / And the hunters who are beset by / come and take him with their engines which they have prepared for the same / thus by this subtlety are the thieves taken / Within the river and flood of the Indus, go the eels, which are three hundred feet long and are good to eat at need. Many other beasts dangerous and terrible are there in India as dragons, serpents, and other diverse beasts which have feet, heads, and tails diverse / There are the basilisk, which have the sight so venomous that they kill all men And in like manner do they all birds and beasts /\n\nHe has a head like a cock and a body of a serpent / He is king of all serpents / Like as the lion is king above all beasts / He is\n\n(Note: The text appears to be in Middle English, and the passage describes various creatures in India. The text seems to be coherent and does not contain any significant errors, so no cleaning is necessary.) This serpent, named Aspis, cannot be deceived or taken except by charm. It gladly receives the seed, but as soon as it hears the charm, it puts its tail in one ear and the other to the ground, doubting to be deceived by the charm. There are other serpents named Tygris, which are taken quickly by force of engines. From them, men make trident, which defeats and takes away other venom. Other worms grow there, which have two arms so long and diverse that they bite and kill elephants. This worm lives very long, and when it feels itself old and weak, it consumes itself by fasting and suffers to be enfeebled so much that little remains of its body. Then it goes into a little hole of some stone, which is well straight, and then it puts itself out with such great distress that its skin remains whole. And there grows and comes upon it another skin. And thus it renews its age as wisely as possible. In India grow the Amethyst and Diamond stones, both possessing great virtues. The Amethyst attracts iron to itself and binds it so strongly that it cannot be removed without the virtue of the stone. The Diamond, found whole in India, cannot be broken or used unless by the virtue of the blood of a ghost. India also yields other stones of various shapes and virtues, highly recommended for their fair properties. I will first speak of the Emerald, which is pleasing to the eye and restores all sight to him who beholds it. Similarly, the Carboncle stone grows in India. In the night or if it is in a dark and obscure place, it shines like a burning coal. Sapphires grow there, which, by their virtue, remove swelling and redness from the eyes. Topaz also grows, which is colored like fine gold and has high virtue. Rubies are also found there, a stone much prized and loved among people, and of greater value and virtue than topaz. It delights the sight and comforts it greatly, especially for those who bear it. There are also many other kinds of stones in mind, which have much fair virtue and bounty. For those who wish to know more about their virtues and bounties, they may read in the book called Lapidary. At this time, we shall make an end of this matter, for we will recount for you the countries and realms of India.\n\nIn India, there are many great countries marvelously, which are peopled with diverse manners of people and of great wealth. In this country named Persia, there are thirty-four regions. The first is the Kingdom of Persia, where the science of Nigromancy was first discovered. This science compels the enemy, the devil, to be taken and imprisoned. In Persia, this art discerns at each of its courses and is beneficial to those who practice Nigromancy. After this kingdom is another, called Mesopotamia, where Nineveh is set and established, which is a three-day journey in length and is very large and broad. In Babylon, there is a tower that was once built out of great pride. Its walls are marvelously great, strong, and high, and it is called the Tower of Babel. Its height is approximately 4.5 miles around and up to the highest point. In the region of Caldea, Astronomy was first discovered. In this region is the land of Sabaeans, and thereafter is the region of Tharse, followed by that of Arabs. Regions were lords and princes who offered gold, incense, and myrrh to our Lord Jesus Christ when he lay in the manger after his blessed nativity, as he who was the son of God. They knew this by their great wit and understanding of astronomy in which they were endowed and founded. In this region of Arabia grows myrrh, and there are many peoples and diverse folk. There is also in Egypt a region called Assyria, and the region of Phoenicia is there, which takes its name from a bird called Phoenix. Of this bird in the whole world there is only one alive on this day, and when it dies, another is born of itself. It is great and magnificent in appearance, and has a crest on its head, like a peacock. The breast and gorge of it shine and draw towards the proper color of fine gold. It is long on the back, and is the color of ashes, like the heaven when it is pure and clear. And over the well grows a fair tree and great. Which can be seen from far off. And he makes his nest and his sepulcher in the middle of the tree. But he makes it of spices of such great odor that none better can be found. And after he addresses himself in his nest when he has finished it, he then begins to move and to beat his wings against the sun so fast and so long that a great heat consumes him all into ashes. And out of these ashes and powder grows again another bird alive, looking like him. After this region of fantasy is the Kingdom of Damas where good fruits grow. And after Damas is found the Region of Antioch where great quantities of camels are found. After comes the land of Palestine. And then Samaria. And then Sebaste. And then Penthapolis, where once were found two mighty cities, one called Sodom and the other Gomorrah, which God would have perished for their great and enormous sins. In this part is the deed, where nothing remains that bears life. There is a country that men call Ysmaelite, inhabited by twelve kinds of people. After this is Egypt, the great desert where it never rains and contains twenty-four peoples. Another region lies to the north, in which no man dwells, but women who are as fierce as lions. And when need arises, they freely fight against men. They go armed as knights in battle and engage in battles. They are called Amazons. But they have men near their country dwelling, whom they fetch every year to be in their company for seven or fifteen days, and allow them to know them carnally so long that they suppose they have conceived. Then the men depart from that country and return to their own, and when these women have given birth, if it is a daughter they retain her with them, and if it is a son they nurse him for five or six years and then send him out. In some places, there are many fair ladies who use all their arms of silver due to a lack of iron and steel. In the woods of India, there are women whose beards are so long they reach their papas. They live by wild beasts and clothe themselves with the skins of the same beasts. There are men and women who are as raw as bears and dwell in caves in the earth. When they see other men, they hide in the caves so they do not appear. Other people are also as raw as swine and whining. And there are other women who are raw and resemble men, but they are much bestial and white as snow. Their teeth are more like hounds than those of others and dwell and abide well in water. Another great region in which dwell forty-eight peoples. There are birds which are full of devotion. The pens of these birds shine by night like fire. There are poppies which are green. In this country there are birds that shine like peacocks, which are hardly larger than a yard, of which it is said that those that have one foot with five claws are gentle, and the villains have but three. He has a tail longer than a foot, and a curved beak and a large, forked tongue. Anyone who could have one could learn to speak from him within two years. Another bird in this country is named pelican. And all hours, when he leaves his chicks and comes back to feed them as needed, it seems to him that they are all dead. Then he strikes himself in the breast with his bill until the blood spurts out, from which he revives his birds. In Armenia there is a people who have all their hair white. In these parts is a very high mountain where Noah's Ark abode and rested after the flood had passed. Afterward comes the province of India, the smallest, which is surrounded by the sea in which there are many regions, of which for the present time we will not declare the names. In this province of Asia. The Reygion of Dardanelle and the land of Phrygia, where Paris brought Helen after he had abducted her, was home to the magnificent city of Troy, which was highly esteemed by the Greeks and was destroyed by fire and sword. This city was located at one of the ends of Greece. In this region is situated the noble city of Lycopolis, and nearby stands another city called Cayster, from which flows the great river Hermus, whose banks are covered in gold. From this direction, towards Egypt, comes the Palaiokastro, which is made of fine gold. On the other side, there is a people who at one time descended from the Jews, and are a vile, foul, and stinking people. They have no wives or concubines, nor do they keep any other women, as they cannot believe that women can be faithful to one man without being unfaithful to others. Therefore, they place no value on women, but only seek procreation. Another people live there. In this province called Barbaryns or Jacobins, as Jacob was anciently their master, and called Christians corrupted by the marriages and alliances they make with the Saracens who march against them. These Barbaryns value themselves at forty realms. In no way do they believe that confession is valid to show it to any man except to God alone. When they confess their sins to God, they set fire and incense by them. They certainly believe that their thoughts rise up to our Lord in this smoke, but it is not so as they believe. Instead, they mistakenly believe they must confess their sins to St. John the Baptist before receiving baptism from him. For St. John the Baptist says that when one tells his sins to another who may be a sinner like him, the shame of confessing his sins is turned to him in place of penance, and he owes allegiance to his sins and him. \"Remember the son to abstain from sinning, for he must show them to another man by whom he may have our Lord's remission and pardon of his sins and mercies. This witnesses to us Saint John Baptist, who, by the holy and blessed sacrament of baptism, renders us quit against our Lord God of our sins, and that we may be purged by true confession, good contrition, and full satisfaction each according to his power. Therefore, Jacobins are greatly deceived, for they have evil retained the wholesome doctrine that Saint John Baptist taught them. In this region is another kind of people called Christian, who believe a little better in God and are strong and mighty in battle. The Saracens doubt them much and dare not wrong them, but are sweet and amiable to them. These people are named Georgians, and are good Christians. They are enclosed round about with felon and misbehaved people. They are called, as afore is said, Georgians, because they cry out always on Saint George in battle.\" In Jerusalem, the Sarasyns esteem and revere him above all other saints. They wear crowns on their heads, but the clerks have them rounded and the laypeople have them square. When they go to Jerusalem to worship the holy sepulcher of our Lord Jesus, the Sarasyns dare not take them off or harm them because they fear that when they return, they should abandon them there. The gentle ladies of the country arm them and ride on good horses, running and swiftly, and they fight fiercely in the company of the knights of George against the Sarasyns. They use laws and terms of speech similar to the Greeks.\n\nIn the Indian sea, there is a kind of fish whose skin grows so long that people make robes, mantles, and other vestments from them when they have taken and prepared them. However, there is another kind of fish in this sea, which are not named escimuz, and they are no longer than a foot. In the sea, but they have such strength that if one of them touches a ship, the one remaining keeps still so as not to proceed further. There is also another kind of fish commonly called dolphins. They have a custom: when they sense that a tempest is coming and the ships are in danger of being lost and perished, they warn them by playing on the waves of the sea in such a way that sometimes they are plainly seen. In the Sea of Indies, there is another fish so huge and great that there is earth and grass growing on its back, and it seems properly to be a great island. Mariners sailing by this sea are often deceived and abused by it, for they believe certainly that it is firm land, so they go out of their ships onto it, make their preparations and log entries there, and light their fires and make them burn according to their need, intending to be on firm land, but inconveniently, this is not the case. Merryless fish feels the heat of the fire, it moves suddenly and plunges down into the water as deep as it may, and all that is upon it is lost in the sea. By this means, many ships have been drowned and perished, and the people, when they supposed themselves to be in safety, there is in this sea plenty of other fish that have heads and bodies like a maiden, and have fair tresses made of their hair. The shape of their bodies up to the naval is like a maiden's, and the remainder is like the body and tail of a fish. Some have wings like birds, and their song is so sweet and melodious that it is marvelous to hear, and they are called seraphs or mermaids. Of these, some say that they are fish, and others say that they are birds that fly by the sea. But beware, for at this time I shall speak more about this matter, for I will tell and recount to you of the marvelous trees that grow in India, of which there are many diverse kinds and bear fruit separately. In India grows a tree very great and fair, called palm tree, which bears fruit called palms. This fruit is good and wholesome. Apple trees also grow, bearing long apples of marvelous good taste. They can hold a hundred in a cluster and have a long, broad foot. Other apples grow very large, resembling the bite of a man with his teeth, and are called apples of Adam. There are other trees that bear apples, which are fair on the outside but have ashes inside. Vines bear grapes, from which wine is made, and are very fruitful. The clusters of grapes are so large and full of must that two men are greatly charged to carry one of them on a pole. Small trees also grow every year, which are uprooted. In many places, large and long canes grow, filled with over fourfold sugar, so much so that none are similar in the entire world. In one part of the Babylonian kingdom, they cultivate and labor the earth. The Saracens claim that they have often purchased it. When they delve and labor the earth with people of other nations than Christian men, the earth does not produce fruit or bark that year. On the field where the bark grows, some say that a fountain springs, where the blessed Virgin Mary bathed her son Jesus. With the water of this fountain, the bark is watered, and from this water, it cannot be transported or born into another place, for in essence, it is no different than other water. In this country, there are other trees that instead of leaves bear wool, from which fine and subtle cloth is made. The inhabitants of the country use it for their robes and mantles. However, there are also other trees that bear a very sweet fruit. This tree takes its fruit by night within itself, and in the morning it comes out again when the sun has risen. There are plenty of other trees there. The cools, when they are aflame, remain in their ashes an entire year without going out or quenching or diminishing. There are also plenty of cedars and libans; the latter, as men say, cannot rot. Other trees grow there that bear cloves and other things. And from the bark and rind comes the cinnamon or sassafras, and ginger also grows there. In this part grow the good spices of all kinds abundantly. There are also nuts in great quantity, which are as large as great apples and others as large as a man's head. Regarding the trees in the terrestrial paradise, we do not know what fruit they bear. But it is well known which tree Eve had such great desire to eat from above the commandment of our Lord God, and from which she deceived Adam, our first father. And in the same way is there the tree of life, of which we have spoken of before more largely. There are in this right noble paradise so many other trees, but there is a marvelous watchman and keeper for the Angel of God is keeper of that tree with a naked sword in his hand continually burning, to prevent that no man or beast or evil spirits approach or come near to take their delights and pleasures there.\n\nAnd here we make an end of this purpose to speak of the countries of Asia and of their conditions. I shall say to you of Europe and its conditions briefly, for we often speak of it. The first part of Europe is Romania and a part of Constantinople, Trapesonda, Macedonia, Thesalya, Bohemia, Sapronya, Pyrre, and a much healthier country named Achaea. In this country sources and springs a fontaine in which men cannot quench burning brands nor cool on fire and burn. In Archadia is a stone which cannot be quenched after it is set on fire until it is all burned into ashes. After Archadia is the kingdom of Denmark. Then comes Hungary and subsequently Holland, and following that Germany, which we call Allemagne. In Allemagne, a great flood and river named Danube originates. This river stretches towards Constantinople and enters the sea, but first it traverses seven great floods by its course. And as I have heard said, the head of this Danube begins on one side of a mountain, and on the other side of the same mountain, another great river originates, which is named the Rhine, and flows through Allemagne by Basel, Strasbourg, Colmar, and Cologne. It then departs into four rivers and flows through the lands of Gelre, Cleves and Holland, and into the sea. Yet before this river enters the sea, it is joined by another river. In it enters another river named the Massaline, and he who enters loses his name and is called the Massaline. It is forty miles long in the sea. In Europe are also Sweden, Bavaria, France, England, Scotland, and Ireland, and above these many other countries. After Europe is Africa, of which the region of Libya is the first. This is a rich, well-populated and strongly fortified land. After comes the kingdom of Syria. Jerusalem and the land around it. This is the holy land where our Lord Jesus Christ received his humanity and passion, and where he rose from death to life. After Topography of some is that this holy land extends to Asia. After then comes Greece, Cyprus, Cycle, Tuscany, Naples, Lombardy, Gascony, Spain, Catalonia, Galicia, Navarre, and Aragon. And yet, as I understand it, the author of this book says that these countries are in Africa. However, all the cities have taken the forms, as Rome has the form of a lion, and Troy the form of a horse {etc}. All of Barbary is in Africa, and Ethiopia lies at its end. In this part of Ethiopia, the people are black due to the heat of the sun, for it is so hot that the earth seems to burn. Beyond Ethiopia, there is no land but desert, and a land that brings forth no fruit. But it is full of serpents, vermin, and wild beasts. This land ends at the great sea.\n\nSince we have described and explored the land, it is reasonable that we inquire about the islands of the sea. And in particular, those that we know the names of, which there are many in the sea. There is a very large island called Andros, which is toward Europe, and this is the island of Colchos, where the fleece of gold was found, as the story of Jason relates. There is another island called Maron, on this island was born the holy man St. Denis, who received martyrdom in France. Toward Asia, there are forty-two islands. There is one island named Delos, which first appeared. There are several islands. One is named \"Noes flood,\" known for the great melody of birds' sweet songs heard there. In this island, white marble abundantly grows. Another island in this region is called \"Psalmos,\" where Queen Sebille was born, who prophesied about many things concerning our Lord Jesus Christ long before his birth and the difference in music. In Africa, there is an island called \"Sardayne,\" where an herb grows that causes instant death if eaten. Another island is named \"Bosut,\" where there are no serpents or worms. There is also an island called \"Colombyne,\" with abundant vermin and marvelous serpents. Additionally, there is a large and broad island called \"Alleares,\" where the method of melting metals was first discovered. Also, the island of \"Meroes,\" where the following was found. In the middle of the day there is no shade at all in this isle, called Cylla, where the Cyclops once dwelled. Another isle in this region is so great that Plato, who was a renowned clerk in his time, testified to its size. This island, which contains more pride and space than all Europe and Africa combined, was destroyed and broken up in such a way that it sank down into the abyss due to the great sins committed by its inhabitants. It is now called the Sea of Bithynia. Another island is there, which cannot be seen when men wish to go there, but some go there as it is said. This island is called the Lost Island. Saint Brandan, finding himself on firm land there, saw and found many marvels, like Jove's, which are difficult to believe. For our Lord God, who is the almighty maker and creator of all things, and in whom all goods and virtues dwell, is the one who made these wonders. \"He has created by his only will and pleasure in the earth many marvels and many works to be marveled at, for no one knows by what means the reasons why. Therefore, we ought not to disbelieve in any way what we here read or are told about the marvels of the world until we know it to be so. For the works of the Lord are so high and difficult for men that each man may report to whom he will that it is so. It is well that a man does not greatly disbelieve sometimes when he knows not the truth, as long as it is not against the faith. It is a good and profitable thing for every man to understand and retain in memory that he may learn, of which he is not ashamed, when he hears speak of such things, and can answer to the truth. For just as these things seem great marvels to us, so they seem to those who are far from us. Those things of these countries seem to them much diverse and strange, marvelous in like manner.\" A man ought not to marvel if he sometimes encounters something he cannot understand, for a man should always learn, and no one knows all, save only God who sees all and knows all. The giants in some place marvel greatly at this, that we are so little against them, as was before said. And they are the Pygmies, who are but three feet long. And in the same way, they marvel at us, that we are so great, and consider us as giants. Those who have but one eye and one foot marvel at our having two, just as we do at them who have but one. And they name and classify their beasts in the same way that we do ours, both in body and members. If the Centaur has a horse's foot, in the same way, the horse has the foot of a Centaur. We may also say that: horses have the body of monsters, for they are like corpses. And thus their beasts resemble ours, which are diverse in heads, bodies, and limbs, contrary to theirs.\n\nWe have in these parts many things that the Asians and Africans have none. There is an island towards Ireland, on one side, where there is a kind of birds that fly and grow on trees and on old ship sides by the bills. And when they are near hatching, those that fall into the water live, while the others do not. They are called bernacles. Ireland is a great island in which there is no serpent or venomous beast. Whoever brings the earth of this island to another country and lays it where poisonous vermin is, there it immediately dies. Another island is in Ireland, which stands far in the sand. The female birds of this island cannot abide there. There is another island where no man may die at any time in the world, but when they are so old and feeble that their limbs fail and ache and live in pain. In an isle in Iceland, they may not help or sustain themselves, and it had verdure all the time, both winter and summer. In another yile in Iceland, the night endures for six months, and then comes the day that lasts for another six months, shining fair and clear. There is also in the same yile a place called St. Patrick's purgatory, which is perilous if any men go there and are not confessed and repentant of their sins. They are immediately carried off and lost in such a way that no man can tell where they have come. But if they are confessed, repentant, have done satisfaction and penance for their sins, and are cleansed and fully satisfied, thereafter they shall suffer pain and grief the torments in passing this crimson passage. And when he is returned again from this purgatory, nothing in this world will please him that he shall see, nor will he be joyous or glad, but he shall not be seen laughing, but shall be. Continually in wailing and weeping for the sins that he had committed, it may well be that in ancient times it has been thus, as a sore is written in the story of Tudal and other witnesses. But I have spoken with diverse men who have been there, and one of them was a high canon of Waterford, who told me that he had been there five or six times. And he saw and suffered no such things. He says that the religious men who are there bring him in to the hole and shut the door after him, and then he walks groping in to it. Whereas he said there were places and a manner of couches to rest on. And there he was all night in contemplation and slept there. And on the morrow he came out again, having been there in like manner and seeing none other thing but as afore is said. In Behteyn, that now is called England, there is a fountain and a pillar or a perron there. When men take water of this well and cast it upon the perron, it begins to rain and blow towards it. In the mountains of Mount Ius, you will find many women with warts under their chins, hanging down to their papas. The fairest among them have warts on their backs, resembling croquettes. Those who frequently witness these things are hardly surprised. It is also common in this region for deaf and mute children to be born, as well as those with both male and female natures. Some of these children are born without hands or arms.\n\nThe fox is in such a condition that when it leaves the woodland and enters the fields, it lies down and stretches itself on the ground as if dead, to take birds. When its heart desires to renew its age, it eats the venomous beast. If the toad Crapault or aspbites a man or woman, they are in danger of dying. It has been observed that the spittle of a man fasting kills the asp, and the toad if it bites. A wolf and a man encounter each other if one is seen from a distance. The one first seen becomes afraid. The wolf seizes the sheep without harming it, signaling that it should not be followed. After consuming it, the wolf retreats to the wood. If the sheep is forced to leave it behind, the wolf destroys it with all its might upon departure.\n\nThe weaver or spynster of its nature spins and weaves threads from its entrails, which it uses to make nets to catch flies that it eats. When a ewe has two lambs or fawns, she loves one much more than the other. She carries the one she loves best in her arms and lets the other go. When she is hunted, the other one leaps on her back and holds fast. The one in her arms falls and is often compelled to save herself. Additionally, the hound guards its master's possessions and is protected by him against both men and beasts. Above all else. other he knows his lord and master by his smell and loves him so rightly that often it happens, whether right or wrong, he will not abandon his master unto death. And also, he is so sorrowful for his master's death that sometimes he loses his life. In England, there is a kind of hounds that go and seek out thieves and bring them from there. The mastiff is a very small beast and kills the basilisk. In long fighting, it bites him out of measure. She, of her nature, often removes her fawning from one place to another, making it difficult for them to be found. The hound, when he finds apples beaten or blown down from a tree, he wallows in them until he is charged and loaded with the fruit sticking to his pricks. And when he feels himself loaded as much as he can bear, he goes his way singing and making his duty. And if he meets any beast that would do him harm, he reduces himself as round as a bowl and hides his. A groynes feet and arms protect him, shielding his skin from approaching beasts, doubting his defenses. The lamb, which has never seen a wolf, hesitates and flees. The eagle, by nature, seizes birds by their wings and carries off the one he holds fastest, paying no heed to the others. When the eagle grows old, he flies so high that he passes through the clouds and keeps his gaze fixed against the sun for so long that he has lost all sight and singed all his feathers. Then he falls down onto a mountain in a chosen water and renews his life in this manner. When his bill is overgrown, he breaks and sharpens it against a hard stone. When the turtle has lost the mate she first knew, she will never have another and will not sit upon a green tree, but flees among the trees, mourning her love continuously. The porcupine, by nature, eats iron and is unaffected by it. When the hedgehog sees the tempest come, He flees up so high until he is above the clouds to shield himself from the rain and tempest. The choke (columba) when she finds gold or silver of her nature hides and keeps it away. And sometimes we hear her voice; it seems properly that she speaks. The crow thinks that he is the fairest bird of all others and the best singing, but if her birds are white in any part, she will never do them good until they are all black. The peacock when he beholds his feathers he sets up his tail round as a wheel all about him, because his beauty should be allowed and praised, and is much proud of his fair feathers and plumage. But when he beholds towards his feet, which are unsightly to look upon, then he lets his tail fall, winging to cover his feet. The goshawk and sparrowhawk take their prey by the rivers. But those that are tame and reclaimed, they take to their lord who has taught them. The culture or dove is a simple bird, and of her nature nourishes well the pigeons of another dove. And you will perceive well in the water by your shadow and see when the hawk would take it, the huppe or lapwing is a bird crested which is much in marshy and filthy places and dwells therein more than without it. Whoever anoints himself with the blood of the huppe, and he who lies him down to sleep should seem to him immediately in his sleep dreaming that all the demons of hell would come to him and strangle him. The nightingale of her own nature sings well and long, and sometimes so long that she dies singing. And the lark in like manner often dies singing. The swan often sings before its death. In like manner do many men. Of these things and of many other, much wonder is expressed by people who have never heard of such things before or know nothing of them as we do daily find in this book. We find many things and reasons in this book, of which men marvel strongly who have never seen, learned, or heard of them. The quick silver is of such nature and kind that it supports a stone upon it, whereas water and oil do not, for the stone in them sinks to the bottom. The lime or burnt chalk in cold water immediately heats up and is hot, so no man may touch it with his hand. The rays of the sun make the hair of a man turn yellow or blond, and it whitens linen cloth. The earth that is moist and soft makes dry and hard, and wax that is dry becomes soft. It also makes cold water in a vessel warm. Outside of glass, men make fire against the sun. And outside of crystal in the same way. Also, by striking a stone against iron, comes fire and flames. The band of lead by nature holds it in the middle of the god, for no creature has the power to show reason why they are or are not. For there is not much that the gloss may be known to the truth, save only that which pleases our Lord God, for to be well grounded in clergy may men know and understand the reason of some things, and also by nature such things as by reason cannot be comprehended. Whoever inquires never so long of that which is wrought therein by nature, he shall not come to the knowledge why or how they are made. This may no man certainly know, save God only, who knows the reason and understands it.\n\nWe have declared to you and designed the earth without further the best we can, but now it is expedient, after this that is said, to know and inquire what places and what mansions there may be within it, and whether it be paradise, hell, purgatory, or other thing, and which of them is best and which of them all is worst. As to the regard of me and as it seems to me, that which is afflicted and enclosed in the earth is hell. I say this for as. \"much as hell may in no way be in that place which is one so noble and pure, for that place is so right excellent, net, and not endure hell, for as much as hell is so horrible, stinking, and foul, and more poisonous and heavy than anything can be, it can be clearly understood that hell has its being in the most lowest, darkest, and most vile part of the earth. And as I have here said to you, the reasons why it may not be in that place or even in heaven, for it is in all points contrary to heaven above, for as much as these two places are contrary to one another, in that one is found all glory and consolation, that is heaven, in that other is not anything but all tribulation, that is hell, and therefore it is withdrawn from that other as far as it may, and that is in the middle of there, I say not that hell is not in no other place.\" After death, a person endures the pain and sorrow they deserve. When such a one has suffered greatly, so much so that they should die, and are brought to a pleasant and fair place to find joy and solace, they become even heavier and more sorrowful upon realizing they cannot help themselves or find any relief. Similarly, the unhappy captives, condemned to hell by their demerits, will be discussed further. To finish our book, if you will pay attention and understand, we will explain how hell is located in the middle of this, and of what nature it is, and of the inescapable torments inflicted upon those within. You have now understood how the four elements hold one within the other, with hell in the middle. And in the middle of the firmament, there is a place called Abisme or Abyss. It is filled with fire and burning sulfur, and is hidden, stinking of ordure and all evil adventures. It is vast within but narrow below. All that fall therein are consumed by the sulfur continually. This thing and all that come therein can never die, for this place has such a nature that the more it burns, the longer it endures. This place of hell holds within it all the evils of its party. There death holds its standard, which sends out through the world to fetch those who have joy in heaveness. Thither come all evils and all the evil that is appointed. This place is called the earth of death, for the souls that are brought there eat their enemy and their meat. The death holds them there at his commandment. This is the right pit of fire that burns and all in like manner as the stone is drowned in the sea when it is thrown and sunk, and never shall be seen again. So the souls are sunk into the bottom which continually burn and are drowned there. But for all that they dimish not or have end, but in such misery they abide their folly night and day, and so shall endure perpetually and without end. For whatever spiritual thing may never die--in such a way that it be all dead--but the death they would have and yearn for incessantly, the soul may never die after it is out of the body, but when it is there, it shall always languish. And ever after that it is in hell, it shall have nothing but evil. This is the country and the land of oblivion and forgetting, for all who are there shall be forgotten, like as they forget in this world their maker, who is full of pity and mercy. Therefore he has leyd them there in forge\u2223tyng where they shal neuer haue mercy ne pardon / in this londe so tenebrouse hydouse and ful of alle stenche / and of sorowes. anguysshes. heuynes. hungre. and thyrste shal neuer creature haue gladnesse ne Ioye Thise ben the ter\u2223ryble gehynes stynkynge / And there is the fyre so ouer moche ardau\u0304t horegard of that fyre of helle / than a fyre paynted on a walle is in comparison & to the regard of our fyre / There ben the flodes peryllous whiche ben of fyre and of yce so hydows. horryble. full of venyme and of fowle beestes that make so grete noyse and so grete grief payne and ennoye vnto the dolorouse sowles that ben in the sayd abysme / that ther nys creature that can or may recounte or telle the hondred parte / In this contre ther is plente of other places whiche ben peryl\u2223lous and horryble / And of them ben somme in the see as wel as wythin therthe / In many yles that ben by the see is terryble stenche of sulphre ardaunt in\ngrete fyre whiche is moche paynfull / Ther ben many grete The Montanes of sulphur that burn night and day, continually purging their sins and iniquities. This suffices for speaking further on this matter, for there is no creature that can tell the great torments and inestimable pains a man of evil life receives when departed from this world, as he goes from evil to worse. For now, we shall cease this topic. And since we have spoken long of one of the four elements, which is this, we shall now speak of the second, and that is of the water that always runs and goes around the world. From this sea all floods and rivers flow through the earth, and they run so far that they return and come back again from whence they departed. The sea continually moves and forms its course, as the water is lighter than the earth and is closest to it. She separates and divides the lands and spreads throughout. She falls back into the sea and spreads again by the shores, rivers, and springs, sinking and rising in the earth from one place to another, just as blood runs and issues from the body's veins and exits in some place. Likewise, the water runs and issues from the earth's veins and springs, from which it flows everywhere. Whenever one delves deep in the meadows, mountains, or valleys, men find water salty, sweet, or of some other kind.\n\nAll waters come from the sea, whether sweet or salt; whatever they may be, they all originate from the sea and return there. Therefore, some may say: demand/ The sea is salt / How is it that some water is fresh and sweet? / To answer this question, one scholar says that the water which follows a sweet earth is fresh and sweet / and becomes sweet by the sweetness of the earth / which takes away from it its saltiness and bitterness by its nature / for the water which is salt and bitter when it runs through sweet earth / the sweetness of the earth retains its bitterness and saltiness / And thus becomes the water sweet and fresh which was before salt and bitter / Other waters sour and spring bitter & black / which some men drink / for the sake of healing their ailments in place of poison / which at times bring great purges to some people / This is a water that springs black and clear and runs in the earth which is bitter and black / and it is full of much filth / therefore men are greatly astonished / how it may be wholesome to the body of a man / In another place, water sours which is hot / and that there might be /\n\nCleaned Text: Demand/ The sea is salt. How is it that some water is fresh and sweet? To answer this question, one scholar says that the water which follows a sweet earth is fresh and sweet and becomes sweet by the sweetness of the earth, which takes away from it its saltiness and bitterness by its nature. For the water which is salt and bitter when it runs through sweet earth, the sweetness of the earth retains its bitterness and saltiness. And thus, the water becomes sweet and fresh which was before salt and bitter. Other waters sour and spring bitter and black, which some men drink for the sake of healing their ailments in place of poison, which at times bring great purges to some people. This is a water that springs black and clear and runs in the earth which is bitter and black, and it is full of much filth. Therefore, men are greatly astonished, how it may be wholesome to the body of a man. In another place, water sours which is hot and that there might be. scalded therin a pygge or ghoos / whiche ben called ba\u2223thes or baynes naturell / Of suche maner bathes ben ther in Almayne in the Cyte of Acon / and in Englond at bathe / In lorayne another atte thabbay of plounners / And at Ays in Gascoygne another / This procedeth for as moche as within therthe ben many caues whiche ben hoot and brennyng as fyre / And therthe hath plente of vaynes whiche ben alle ful of sulphre / And ther cometh other while a wynde grete and stronge the whiche cometh by the water that sourdeth / And that is put forth so strongly that the sulphre catcheth fyre and brenneth / lyke as a fornayce alle brennyng shold doo / And the water that hath his cours by thyse vaynes become also hoot as fyre / And yf it happed that the water ryght there / shold sprynge out of therthe / it sholde yssue sourdyng alle enflamed and alle boylyng as it were on a fyre / But fro as ferre as his cours renneth fro thens so moche wexeth it lasse hoot and lasse bren\u2223nyng / and it may renne so longe & so ferre / that in In this place, it becomes again cold, for there is nothing so hot but it cools, except for the fire of hell which continually burns and will burn without end. Within it, there are many places filled with foul beasts and venomous creatures, in such a way that the water that runs through them is all infected and sours in some places. But he who drinks of it seeks his death. There are plenty of fountains in other places that often change their color and perform miracles, but it is not well known what causes this. In the land of Samaria, there is a well that changes and differs in color four times a year. It is first green, and afterward it changes into sangwynne and afterward becomes troubled, and after all this it becomes clear, neat, and very fine. In this way, men delight in beholding it, but no person dares to drink from it. There is yet another fountain that springs three or four days a week. And the other three days it doesn't sprout, but is all dry. There is also a great river that runs six days a week. And on the Sabbath day it doesn't run. For as soon as the Sabbath day approaches, he turns back and goes into it again. By Acres the city is found to have a kind of sand, and there is also found of the clay from the sea, which are mixed. And from these two mixtures, good glass and clear glass is made. In Egypt is the Red Sea, where the children of Israel passed over dry-footed to come into the land of promise. This sea takes its name from there, for there is all red in the bottom and on the sides in such a way that the water of this sea seems all red. In Persia is a river long and broad, which in the night is so hard frozen that people may go over it on foot and traverse it. And in Spain is a well of which the nature is very marvelous, which quenches brands of fire all. In Ethiopia, there is another place where the water sets them on fire at night, and no creature can drink from it. Conversely, during the day it is so cold that it is unbearable. In Lorraine, near the city, there is a water that runs there, which is boiled in large copper pots and becomes salt, fair, and good. This water irrigates the entire countryside with salt. In the same place, there are other hot springs that burn whatever they touch, and cold springs that are as cold as ice. There are also well-prepared and mixed baths with hot and cold water. Those who bathe in these baths have their scabs and sores heal. However, there are also other black springs, which are considered holy, and people drink from them instead of medicines. They often make great purifications and purges, even greater than from a medicine or a laxative. Another [place] perhaps. There are fontains towards the Orient, whereof is made fire Greek and other mixtures. This fire, when taken and the light is so hot that it cannot be quenched with water but with vinegar, ashes, or only sand. The Saracens sell this water dearly and cheaper than good wine. Other fontains source in many other places, healing sore eyes and many sores and wounds. Other fontains there be that render to a man his mind and memory. Other make men forget. Other refrain people from lechery. Other move them thereto. Other there be that make women conceive and bear children. And other that make them barren. And may bear none. There are some rivers that make sheep black and other that make them white as the lily. On the other side, there are many ponds or stagnes in which nothing swims, man nor beast, but sinks down to the bottom immediately. There are other in which nothing may sink but continually floats above. Yet other fountains hide the thieves when they forsake the trespasses they have committed concerning their theft. And if they are charged and condemned wrongly on honor without reason, and then drink of this water, certainly they shall have better sight than before. Of all these things, none can render reason except that we ought to understand that all this proceeds by miracle. Yet there are other fountains which are still and clear. When men play over them with harp or other instruments, their sound consoles in a manner. The water of these wells springs up with great bubbles and spills over in the way. Other fountains are in other places which are right perilous, but for this present we shall remain here. For to tell of this which comes from the waters, which hold their course within them and also above, it happens at times that the earth moves so strongly that it behooves to fall all that. Which is thereon, though it were a massive tour,\nNow understand you then, what it is and how the earth quakes and shakes, that some people call an earth quake,\nBecause they feel the move and quake beneath their feet.\nAnd often it quakes so terribly and moves that sometimes cities sink into it, never to be seen again.\nAnd this comes from the great waters that are within it,\nSo that by the putting out of the great floods and waters, grow some times caverns beneath it.\nAnd the air that is shut in,\nWhich is enclosed in great distress,\nIf there be there weak so that it may not retain it all within,\nThen it is constrained to open and cleave,\nFor the air enforces to issue out,\nWhereof it happens often that towns, cities and castles sink down into the abyss,\nAnd if there be of such force and strength that it opens not or cleaves not by the showing or heaving of the winds that are within,\nThen it moves and quakes so. Miraculously, the great walls and high towers that stand there fall down so suddenly that they destroy and kill the people who are within them, who are not prepared or warned of such dangers. This is a great sorrow for the poor people who live where such calamities occur, when they are not forewarned of when such tempests will come to warn them. But wise men, who doubt they will die, arm themselves and make themselves ready against death, and give all diligence to seek accord with the sovereign judge of their sins and debts, as those who have no hour or space to live where they are healthy and well. Now I will recount and tell you how the water of the sea becomes salt, which is so bitter that no person may drink it nor beasts in the same way. It becomes salt from the sun up high. For the sun makes it so. In some places, the sea is heated so strongly that the water beneath draws moisture from it, which takes away all its taste. In the sea there are great and high mountains and deep valleys, full of bitternesses grievous and infected. The earth at the bottom of these valleys steams from the heat of the sun, which mixes with the deep water in such a way that it draws the salt up by the heat of the sun until it is fully mixed with that other. Thus, the sea water is salt with that other.\n\nNext, we shall here finish speaking about the waters, fresh or salt. And we shall tell you about the Air, which is one of the four elements and of its properties.\n\nThe Air is set above the water and is much more subtle than the water or the earth. It surrounds it on all sides and dominates it as clouds mount high. This Air, which surrounds us on all sides, is very thick. we lyue therby / in li\u2223ke wyse as the fysshe lyueth by the water / whiche he dAnd yf it fonde not thayer thycke / it\nshold not bowe ne ploye / but shold holde hym straight and right / how faste someuer ye meued it / Of this Ayer the euyl esperites take their habyte and their bodyes / whiche in somtyme put them in the semblaunce of so\u0304me thinges as whan they may appere in som place for to deceyue som persone man or woman / or for to make them to yssue out of their mynde / wherof they haue somtyme the myght / Or whan by the arte of nygromancye he putteth hym in so\u0304me semblaunce or in suche a fygure as he wille / But this is a scyence that who that geuyth hym therto to do euyl / hit gyueth hym the deth / ffor yf he taketh not hede therof / he shal be dampned body & sowle / But we shal enquyre here after / what cometh fro thayer in to therthe / \nNOw we shal speke of the clowdes for to knowe what it is and of the Rayne also / The sonne is the foundement of all hete and of alle tyme / all in suche wise / as the The heart of a man is the foundation by which valour resides in him, for by him we have life, and all that grows on it as pleases our Lord. If you wish to hear and retain the matter and substance of this book, for the sun makes the clouds to mount high, and after it makes the rain and causes it to come down. I shall show you how this is done and briefly, by his power, and understand in what manner. When the sun spreads its rays upon the sea, it dries them strongly and draws up the moisture which it enhances on high. But this is a subtle moisture that appears little and is named vapor, and it mounts up to the middle of the sea and there it assembles and comes together and abides there. And little by little it increases, so that it thickens and darkens in such a way that it takes from us the sight of the sun. And this thing is the cloud. But it does not have so much. The cloud obscures the sky, keeping it white; then the sun appears above the cloud, if it is not too black, like through a glass. The sun is also like a candle within a lantern, giving us light without going forth, yet we do not see the candle. Thus the sun shines through the cloud beneath it and renders to us the clarity of the day, as long as it makes its turn above it. The cloud that always stays and takes in more moisture for a long time afterward becomes black and moist; then it emits the water that comes to it, and rain grows. When all of it has fallen to the ground and the great moisture is stopped, the cloud has lost its brown color that it previously held and the darkness that hid the day from us. Then the cloud appears clear and white, which is light and mounts high, so much that in its midst it falls and is scattered by the heat of the sun high up, which dries up all. Then they [the raindrops?] are carried away. Weexeth again pure and clear, and the heaven as blue as azure. From there grows the rain and the clouds, like a cloth that is woven upward. Who then held his hand over this smoke, he should feel a vapor which would make his hand moist and wet. If it lasted long, he should apparently know that his hand was wet, and water would drop and fall from it. And thus I say to you that in this manner the clouds and rain often grow. Our Lord God multiplies them well when it pleases Him to make the seeds and fruits grow that are on there.\n\nThe great snows and great frosts come from the great coldness of them, which is colder in the middle than it is on any other side. As you may see in the mountains that are in high places, such as the mountains of Savoy, Piedmont, or Wales, and in these other mountains where there is a custom for more snow than in places that are in plain ground. All this comes from the coldness of them, which has Lasse heat above than beneath, because it is more subtle. When the more subtle is on high, it retains less heat. But the denser one heats up more quickly and sooner, where the sun can reach it. Of which comes that iron and steel weep more heat by the sun than the stone does. For as much as the thing is denser and made of thicker material, it takes the fire more intensely and quickly than those of lesser force. I tell you of that which is above, which is colder than this beneath. For as much as it is not as thick as that which is near it, and because of the wind that often arises, which makes it often in motion, the running water cools it less and falls down again from me.\n\nBy this manner come the great hailstorms and great tempests in summer. For in them, they grow, from which often comes great cold, so that the moisture that is in them cools less. Thayer is drawn up and becomes fierce, and it assembles and amasses itself for the heat that pursues it. The sun causes it to lose ground and fall, but it does not fall as great a distance as it is from above on high, for it comes down breaking and calming in its falling. This is the tempest that often falls in the summer, which is grievous and annoying to many things.\n\nIn its coming, many things happen, of which the people speak not gladly, for they recoil not much from such things that they cannot well come to the knowledge of. That which makes the earth to quake, and that which makes the clouds to thunder, that which makes the earth to open, and that which makes the clouds to sparkle and lighten when thunder is heard, for thunder and lightning are breakings and burstings out of winds that meet above the clouds so violently and sharply that in their coming, a great fire often arises from them. And this thunder that falls in many places. places where the winds constrain it so terribly that the clouds clue and break and make it thunder and lightning and fall down in such great rage by the wind that destroys it so abruptly that it confuses all it encounters, in such a way that nothing endures against it. And it is of such heavy nature that sometimes it pursues them into the midst, and sometimes it quenches it before it reaches the ground, if it is not of overpowering nature. For when the cloud is much dark and thick, and there is great abundance of water, the fire passes not so soon, but it is quenched in the cloud by the great quantity of water that is in it before it may pass through, so that it cannot approach them, but in the straining and breaking that it makes then in the cloud, a sound so great and strong grows, that it is marvelous to hear. I declare to you for certain that this is the thunder, which is much to be doubted and feared. In like manner, of a hoot and thunder. brennyng yron that is put in a tubbe of water / \ntherof groweth a noyse and a grete sowne / and also whan cooles ben quenchid / But the lyghtnyng of the thondre appereth and is seen er ye here the voys or sowne / ffor as moche as the sight of a man is more subtyl than the hee\u2223rynge / lyke as men see fro ferre ouer a water betyng of clothes or smytynge of marteaulx or hamers / the strokes ben seen of them that smyte / or the solyghtnyng after it is seen / er the soun be herd / And the sonner after the lyghtnyng is seen & the noys herd / somoche is the thondre more nyghe vnto vs / \nOF the wyndes may men enquyre reson of them that vse the sees / And the wyndes renne round aboute therthe oftymes / and entrecounte and mete in som place so asprely / that they ryse vpon heyght in suche wyse that they lyft vp thayer on hye / And thayer that is so lyft and taken fro his place / remeueth other ayer in suche facion that it retorneth as it were afterward / and gooth cryeng and \nto be vnderstonde / we haue drawen out And now I shall cease speaking about the fire above the air. You should know that above there is fire; this is an aether, of great resplendence and shining, and of great nobility. By its right great subtlety, it has no moisture in it, and is much clearer than the fire we use, and of more subtle nature than that is against water, or also water against the earth. This aether, in which there is no manner of moisture, sometimes sparkles under it with fire-like sparks, and seem to be stars, which men say are running stars that remove from their places. But they are not stars, but a kind of fire that grows in the dry vapor, which has no moisture within it, which is of the earth and from it grows by the sun which draws it up, and when it is up there, it falls and is set a fire, like a candle burning, as it seems to us, and after falls in. The moist thing quenches and is moistened by it, and when it is great and the air dry, it comes bringing much burning to it. This often happens to those who sail by sea or travel by land, who have frequently found and seen them shining and burning falling to it, and when they come where it has fallen, they find nothing but a little ash or something like it, or like a leaf of a rotten tree. Then they perceive and believe that it is no star, for the stars cannot fall, but they must all move in their circle regularly and continuously night and day equally. The pure air is above the fire, which pours and takes its place into heaven. In this air there is no darkness or obscurity, for it was made of pure cleanliness it resplendes and shines so clearly that it can be compared to nothing; in this air there are seven stars which make their course around it, which are very clear and bright and are named the seven planets. One is set above the other, and arranged in such a way that there is more space between the one and the other than there is from the earth to the moon, which is fifty times farther than all the earth is great. Each one runs by miracle on the firmament and makes its circle, the one greater and the other smaller after it is, and sits lower because it makes its course closer to there. So much shorter is it, and it has performed its course sooner than the farthest one. That which should be next to a point in a wall and with a compass made various circles around it, the one smaller than the other: the one next to the point should have a shorter course, for it should have finished its course sooner than the largest one. Therefore, they both went equally, as you may see by the figure beforehand.\n\nThus, you may understand the seven planets I have spoken of: one is under the other in such a way that the lowest of all the others is she. Among all things, the moon is the least, yet it appears greatest and most apparent of all others due to its proximity. For its approach and because it comes so near, it has no pure clear mirror reflecting on its wall and shines there as long as the sun's rays endure in the glass. In the same manner, it shows and lights up for us the light of the moon, and in the moon is a body polished and fair like a pommel well burned, which reflects and renders light and clarity when the sun's rays strike it. The little clouds or darkness seen therein, some say, is that which appears within. And that which is water appears white, like a mirror that receives various colors when it is turned to them. Others think otherwise and say that it happened and befell when Adam was deceived by the apple that he ate, and that then the man month comes before the sun, and that one is above the other. Whoever has on Earth the virtues proper to them, named Mercury and Venus, are above the moon and these two, is the sun. Which is so clear, fair, and pure that it renders light and clarity to all the world. The sun is set so high above that its circle is greater and more spacious than the moon's course. The moon has 354 days, which is 13 times more than the sun's course, as the calendar indicates, and yet an additional fourth part of a day, which is six hours. However, due to the year having a regular beginning, one year begins on a day and another on a night, which is a great inconvenience for many people. This fourth part of a day is set aside because, in every four years, an additional day is consumed in that space. This year is named the bissextile or leap year, which in four years falls short by one, and so is set from four years to four years, always adding an additional day. And then the sun comes again in its first point, and that is in mid-March, when the new time begins. And that is all. Things draw us to love due to the return of the Sun, for in this season the world first began, and therefore all things renew and come in verdure by right nature, of the time and none other. Above the Sun, there are three clear and shining stars, and one above another: that is, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Saturn is highest of the seven, which has in its course thirty years before it has gone its circle, and these three stars retain their virtues in things below, and you may see this if you behold this figure. This figure shows it well:\n\nThese seven planets have such power over things that grow under them and exhibit their virtues more than all the others that are in the firmament, and they work more appropriately, as ancient sage philosophers have discovered through their wisdom. Of these seven planets, the names of the days of the week have been taken: as you shall hear,\n\nThe moon has Monday. Mars is the Tuesday. Mercury is the Wednesday. Jupiter is the Thursday. Venus is the Friday. Saturn is the Saturday. And the holy Sunday has its name from the Sun, which is the most fair. Therefore, Sunday is better than any of the other days of the week. In this chapter, we have discussed the firmament. We shall speak now of some cases that come from the heavens and thereabout.\n\nSunday is as much to say as the day of peace and prayer. For the Creator of all things rested on this day, which made and created all.\n\nAbove Saturn, which is the last planet and highest from us of all the seven planets, is the heaven that men see so full of stars as it were sown. When it is clear time and weather, this heaven that is so starred is the firmament, which moves and goes round. Of its meaning is so great joy, so great melody, and so sweet that there is: Anyone who could hear it/who never afterward had the ability or desire to do anything contrary to our lord in any way/should greatly desire to come there/where he could always hear such sweet melodies and be with them. Some of these melodies were once said to be heard by little young children when they laughed in their sleep. For it is said that then they heard the angels of our lord singing in heaven, from which they derive such joy in their sleep. But no one knows the truth of this except God, who set the stars in the heaven and gave them such power. For there is nothing within the earth or within the sea. How diverse it is/but it is figured and compassed by the stars, of which no one knows the number except God alone.\n\nThese were created by good reason/in regard to the stars that can be seen/they may be well named and inquired about by astronomy/\n\nbut it is a great mystery/for there is no knowledge of In this text, there are some formatting issues and outdated language that need to be addressed for better readability. Here's the cleaned version:\n\n\"But though a star is little in size, it has all its virtue in it, whether in herb, flour, or fruit, be it in shape, color, or otherwise. There is nothing on earth that should be, nor does it have growing, but some star has strength and power by nature, whether good or otherwise, such as God has given to it. And for the firmament and for the planets, take this figure before you and you shall see their situation in it.\n\nSince we have described and spoken of the firmament in this second part of this volume, we shall speak of some cases that occur both high and low. We shall speak of the measurement of the firmament, to understand it better in terms of its shape and how it is made and proportioned, and of that which is above. We shall also speak of heaven.\n\nThus finishes the second part of this present volume.\n\nIn this third and last part of this book, we shall finish it by speaking of the facts of astronomy. I will declare to you\" The first day comes and night, to make you understand eclipses and other things profitable for those who wish to know them, for governing them according to the time's disposition.\n\nTruth is, the sun makes its turn and course around that [point] in the day and night, and stays equally every hour. Long as it remains above it, we have the day's duration, and when it is under it, we have the night. Like a turning burning candle around your head or if you hold it a little farther off, and the candle is always burning, then the party opposite the candle should always be land, and on the other side, the earth is warm and dark behind it, and where it cannot shine. This is the night's shadow that the day takes away from us, but since the sun is much larger that The shadow grows little and little till it comes to nothing, like the shadow of a clock endures after the stroke. But if the sun and shadow were of equal size, this shadow would have no end, but would be all equal without declining. And if the shadow were greater than the sun, then the shadow of the sun would grow larger and be more, as you may see from these three following figures. You may also prove it otherwise without figures. Take some dark thing that can retain light within it, such as tree, or stone, or other thing, and place that before your eyes. Against that thing which you would see, is it the heaven or earth or any other thing? If the thing that you hold is broader and larger than your two eyes, it will take away the sight against that which is not broader. And if the thing is all equal in length as much as you can stretch your two eyes, as much will it be taken from you. as the thinge shal haue of gretnes / as ye may see by this figure bynethe an that other syde / And yf the thinge haue lasse of gretnes than the lengthe is bytwene your bothe eyen / it shal take fro you lasse for to see / as wel ny\u2223ghe as ferre / that it is of largenes of that whiche ye wold see / And whan ye put the thynge ferther fro your eyen / so moche the more may ye see of that other part ouer and aboue you / so that ye may se all / In lyke wyse is it of the sonne withoute ony doubtaunce or variacion / ffor it passeth therthe in gretnesse so that it seeth the heuen al aboute the sterres and all that is on the firmament.\nTHe sterres of the firmament on whiche the sonne rendreth clernes make contynuelly nyght and day their tornyng & cours wyth\u0304 the firmament round aboute aboue as bynethe / But them that ben ouer vs we may not see by daye / ffor the sonne. by hys grete clernes and lyght taketh from vs the sight of them / In lyke wyse as ye shold do of candellis that were ferre brennyng from yow / And yf ther A great fire burned between you and the candles, with great flame and light. It should take away from you your sight so that you could not see the candles. And if the fire were taken away and put behind you, you would inconveniently see the candles burning before you. In the same way, I tell you about the stars that cannot be seen during the day: as long as the sun makes its course and torch above them, and when the sun is under them, the stars are seen by us. But the stars that are over us in summer during the daytime are over us at night in winter, and those that are under us in winter are over us in summer. For the stars that we see in summer at night, we may not see them during the day, because the sun takes away their clarity that is on the daytime where the sun is, until the time it draws itself under. But all of them are light, whatever part of their turn it may be, as long as the sun goes around them both high and low. The earth keeps safe that which is hidden from it, as long as the shadow can encompass it; and it endures farther from it than the moon is high, but it fails above the moon. The earth is such that it defends the day which the sun gives us, if it were so clear that men could see through it, the sun could be seen continually as well beneath it as above. But it is so obscure and dark that it takes away our sight and makes the shadow go around constantly, as many twisting turns as the sun itself makes. When the sun rises in the morning in this place, the shadow is in the west, and when it is directly over and above us at midday, there is the shadow beneath it. And when the sun sets in the west, the shadow of it is in the east, and then when the sun is under, we have the shadow over us, which draws towards the west, so long until. The sun rises and shines, bringing us day, as shown in these two figures. Understand what a day is and a night, then see the moon's behavior and how it receives light from the sun. The moon receives light continuously, appearing half full in any given place. When we see it round, we call it full. The farther it is from the sun, the more of its apparition we see. When it is directly under the sun, it does not appear to us, as it is between the sun and us, shining toward the sun and dark toward us. Therefore, we do not see it. But when it has passed the point and is removed from the sun, its crescent begins to appear, growing in brightness as it withdraws further from the sun. When it appears half full of light, it has gone a quarter of its cycle. The moon, which is the fourth part of her circle and course that she goes every month, continually increasing and growing in clarity, reaches a full circle, appearing like a roll to us. This is called the full moon. Then, she is directly beneath the sun as much as possible against our sight, with all her light turned toward us. Between the sun and the moon is the position where we cannot see both at once, but only one can be seen. For when one goes down in the west, the other rises in the east, and at evening or morning, both can be seen but not for long, for one goes under the other and the other comes above. Then, the moon, which has been opposite the sun and has gone half her circle, approaches the sun's side and begins to lessen her light until it is but half again, and then she has gone three quarters of her circle and is nearly on that side. Side by side, as she was at the first quarter on that other side, and so approaches near and near until she appears horned as to fore, and thus she goes until she is all failed, that we may see no more of her. For then is she under the sun as you may see by this present figure, and I say no more of this. But that she is then between you and there.\n\nIt often happens that the moon must necessarily lose her light. This occurs when she appears most full and becomes waned away, and little by little, until she is all failed. You have heard before how the moon takes light from the sun, that always she has half her light half the time. But when it is so that she is in an eclipse, then she has no light in any part. This never happens except when she is turned right so that the sun gives her full light, for the moon does not always pass in her course in that way. For there is greater than the moon is. When the distance between the sun and the moon is just, the moon casts this shadow of hers, for between the sun and the moon is a line that declines towards the moon, by which the sun strikes its rays in her as long as there is no hindrance there. The more the distance between them, the more the moon is shadowed, and the less the shadow, the less the moon receives of the sun's light when she is so shadowed. If a line passed through there by the middle of it and stretched one end to the body of the sun and the other end to the moon, which every month goes here and there, higher and lower, if she were always even against the sun, then she would fall every month in that shadow which on all sides would suppress her light, which then could not reach her at all. It is from the right line / so much has and receives she the more of light / And when she is such that there is opposition between them, then she loses her light / Thus is sometimes seen the moon in the middle of its month lose its light and darken / which we call the eclipse of the moon / as you may well see and understand by this figure, if you behold it well /\n\nIt happens sometimes that the sun loses its brightness and the light in the plain day / for it goes as if it declines / and is called in Latin eclipse / This eclipse occurs because of a defect of light / and it happens in this way\n\nThat when the moon, which is under the sun, comes directly between us and the sun, then in the right line it behooves that toward us the moon takes and retains the light of the sun above / so that it seems to us that it is deficient / for the moon is not so pure that the sun may shine over her / and through her as through another star. Like a candle that is set far from your sight, and after you hold your hand right in front of the candle, then you should not see anything of it. The more you hold your hand closer, the less you should see of this candle. You may set your hand right in front of it so that you see nothing of it. In this manner, I tell you of the eclipse that occurs between the Sun and the Moon is not the same in one way, but the Moon goes another way which diverts it a little from the Sun. Therefore, we must understand that the Moon goes sometimes when it is between us and the Sun above, and other times below, here and there as it rises and declines. But when it passes in the right line evenly between us and the Sun, then the Moon takes the light and clarity of the Sun from us in such a way that we cannot clearly see it there, for then it shadows it and keeps the rays of the Sun so that they do not shine on it. Those who are in this condition. parte / haue in their sight ye shadowe behynde them But it apperith not comunely to alle men thurgh al the world / ffor the mone is not so grete nowher nygh\u0304 as all therthe / therfor she shadoweth not all / but only where\nshe is in the right lygne bytwene therthe and the sonne / And thyder the philosophres were wont to goo / where as they knlerned for to approue the daye and tyme whan suche thynges shold happe / by whiche they preuyd plente of thynges / wherfore they preysed moche our lord / Thus see we here byneth the eclipse of the sonne aboue vs / whan the mone is right vnder the sonne for as moche as she is bynethe the sonne and aboue vs / And thenne the sonne passeth the right lygne and goth departyng and wythdrawyng so moche that\nshe appe\u2223rith as she dyde afore / and then\u2223ne the mo\u2223ne departed is horned thre dayes after this Eclypse / And by this fygu\u2223re ye may vnderston\u2223de playnly this that ye haue herd here tofore / \nTHus as the mone taketh away fro vs the light of the sonne / So it happeth oftyme that The moon takes away the light of the moon as previously declared, but an eclipse of the moon can only occur when it is most full. Conversely, an eclipse of the sun can only happen when the moon is all waned and has faded, which we call a conjunction. However, if God, who can change and defy at His pleasure, makes it come or happen otherwise, it can occur differently, as it did at the time when our Savior Jesus Christ was on the cross. At that time, the light and brightness of the day faded from midday to the ninth hour, and then the moon was directly under the earth at its fullest. At that time, the moon could not prevent the light of the sun, and the day was as dark and obscure as it would have been proper night, which by nature should have been bright and pure. For this reason, Saint Dionysius, who is now venerated in France, being a student in Greece at that time, acted like a great scholar as he was, for he knew more about astronomy. He perceived this great obscurity and darkness; he had right great marvel, and found by astronomy that this could not be by nature or reason that the eclipse of the sun should happen and fall in such a season. Then he spoke in a dark manner in this way: either the god of nature suffers great harm by wrongdoing, or all the world discords and shall perish and fail, as if it must come to an end. He thought in himself that he was a great god who suffered thus and that he had power and might above all other gods. As he who ruled over many gods after his law, then this\nholy Dionysus made an altar in his oratory above the other altars and also a part where no person repaired but him alone. Because he would not be reputed in disbelief, and when it was made and he had seen it, he called it the altar of the unknown god and worshipped and adored him, holding him for a right dear and great god. It was not long after this that the holy doctor St. Paul came to this place where St. Dionys was a great scholar, as is more clearly detailed in their legends. Through commonality and preaching of Saint Paul, Dionys was converted, with the help of the Lord, who worked wondrously in this. They were both scholars, as more clearly contained in their legends. And thus, the noble scholar Saint Dionys became a good and very devout man, who had been a pagan before that day. He employed his knowledge and time from that day forward, which greatly benefited his soul. This eclipse did not deceive him, nor did his knowledge of astronomy. But he became a man of such good and holy life that he gained the blessings of heaven as his reward. You have heard about eclipses if you wish to understand them well. And you will not fare worse or be less deceived, for such demonstrations can greatly profit every person, as they signify great works and events that often follow. This finds astronomers through astronomy, as some are scarce and lack goods or due to great famine or war or death of kings or princes in the world. This eclipse, which was so greatly signified, heralded the death of Jesus Christ. It ought to have come about for him rather than for another, for he is and was, by right, lord and king of all the world. He can defy and devastate it, and at his pleasure, order the other eclipses to come by nature, which retain their virtues in their effects on things that are to come. For it behooves all to perish and come to nothing, along with all that God did not create in vain. He gave the stars their names and virtues in heaven and on earth, each according to its power in all growing things, for there is nothing that does not have some power commensurate with its growth. Such as it ought to have by nature and reason, we shall now for this present leave speaking of eclipses, and shall recount and declare the virtue of the firmament and of the stars. Whoever knew the virtue of them would know the truth of all such things that are beneath here on earth by reason of nature, whether the thing was obscure and dark or not. Now you will hear of the science by which men gain wisdom to know and inquire about the things that may happen in the heavens by the work of right nature, which is figured by the world. The heavens and the stars are the very instruments of nature to the world, through which she works all things as God wills, as near as possible, both near and far. Whoever could know her would have knowledge of all things, as of the stars that are on heaven which have virtues therein, which God has given and granted to each and specifically to the sun and to the moon, which give light to the world. Whom nothing living may be, for by them all things that are in this world grow, and which have an end and beginning. This is decreed and permitted by Him who is almighty. All diversities that are in persons and which have diversities of making and of form, and all that happens by nature, be it in herbs, in plants, or in beasts, this happens by the celestial virtue which God gave to the stars when He first created the world. And that He set them and endowed them with such nature that He ordained them to go round about the world against the turning of the firmament. And by their turning and by their virtue which lies in heaven, all things that are under it live. And if it pleased our Lord that He would hold the heaven still in such a way that it turned not about, there is nothing in all the world that might move it. In Him there should be no understanding more than in a dead body, which feels nothing, nor is there wit, understanding, or motion in him who has no life. In such a point shall everything be when the heaven shall cease its moving. All these should they be and never move until the heaven had again its moving. And then should they be otherwise, but he who might use his wit and see what he shall be, might see much of semblances and diverse changing on the heaven. There is nothing that might live on earth. Also God wills that it so be, that all things have been established by right. Thus was the will of God in whom all the stars and gave to each his virtue. And he who will not believe this in him is neither memory nor reason. For we see openly that the moon takes light when we see her full. For man has neither memory nor vainness, but that it is full when it is in the course of humors and such things. And in like manner it happens with all beasts, for they then have their heads and other members more adorned with margins and humors. And the sea also flows and ebbs in its monthly course. wherof it happeth that they that ben nygh\u0304 the see / whan they knowe that the mone is ful / they wythdrawe them fro the see on hye / And saue them & theyre meyna\u2223ge / And in this poynt they wythdrawe them and holde them in hye places vnto the tyme that the see wythdra\u2223weth and lasseth agayn / And thus do they euery moneth But alle this happeth by the mone whiche is one of the seuen planetes / In lyke wyse is it seen of the sonne / that after the wynter whan he begynneth to mounte / he causeth\nthe fruyt to be brought forth of therthe / and apparailleth the trees wyth leues / and alle verdure to come agayn / And the byrdes begynne agayn their songe for the swe\u2223tenes of the new tyme / And whan he rebasshith and decly\u2223neth / he maketh the wynter to bygynne & causeth flowres and leuys to faylle and falle so longe tyl he begynne to mounte agayn as to fore is said / Syth that thise two sterres haue suche vertues / and cause suche thynges to be don / The other whiche ben pourtrayed on the heuen / were not made to Service is nothing but assigned to each according to his virtue and right, according to his nature. Therefore, they make diversities in things that exist, and the changes of time, which come at different rates for some and late for others. Some fruits come early and ripe in one year, while others come late and are ripe at different times in another year. Some summers are soft and moist, while others are dry and windy. Winters also change, so that one is colder, rainier, and more destructive than the other. One may be deficient in some vital things or other, while the other is plentiful. It often happens that there is plenty and cheap food in one year, while in another it is had in great scarcity. These diversities occur frequently. One summer may be soft and moist, while another is dry and windy. Winters also vary, sometimes being colder, rainier, and more destructive than others. These changes cause all these diversities. The stars which are in the heaven, but all this is by the will of our Lord,\nwho has set each in his proper place,\nwhere He makes naturally His course,\nand each differently,\nfor if none other thing had its use in times save the sun only, without more, as he who goes swiftly by the firmament every year,\nand mounts as much and as high in one summer as in another,\nand as much descends in one winter as in another every day equally,\nuntil He comes to His right point, and joins that other after Him where He was before,\nthis know astronomers that he goes every year about the heaven one turn,\nAnd where He is this day, in the same place He shall be this day a year.\nIt is known that if none other had no power,\nthen every year should be like other,\nand every year always be like the year before was,\nand every month should be like the same,\nthat is to say, one January like another January,\nand February like another February,\nand in. Likewise, all the other months, for the sun goes through all in one month as it will the next year in the same month, in all things, that is to say, in heat, in cold, in fair weather, in rain, and in other things, each after their coming, all the years. Therefore, it should by right nature fall that in all summers and all winters that have been and shall be there should come no diversities. And all times should be like those that, by the Sun, should always be deemed, heated and continually governed, for he goes equally all the way and ends his course every year and holds his right way in one state, as he who goes not out of his way. Thus, he is the right way and patron of all the other stars, for it is the finest of all the others due to the great clarity that is in him, and in all things by him, and he has more power over things of which nature can be inquired. And although he is brighter than all other stars, yet sometimes they restrain his heat, and after they withdraw, he enlarges them when they are far or near, as he otherwise has need. Like a king who is greater and mightier in himself for his height, yet he has at times needed their help and been served by them. For the nearer he is to his people, the stronger and more powerful he is, and the farther he withdraws from them, the less he exerts his power. I say the same of the sun, which is the greatest, most mighty, and most virtuous, having greater power on earth than any other star. But the others have their power each in their degree. Since we have recounted to you as succinctly as possible the virtue of the firmament, we will declare to you in brief how the world was measured in height and depth. on all sides, length and breadth, those who knew the reasons of the seven sciences, among which is geometry, measured the sun, the moon, the earth, and the firmament, both within and without, determining their sizes and distances from the earth, as well as the greatness of the stars. Those who discovered this science understood that it could not be truly known through astronomy or the nature of the stars without knowing their measures. Therefore, they sought to measure them and prove all their greatnesses.\n\nFirst and foremost, ancient philosophers sought to measure the greatness of the world all around them, using this as a basis for determining the height of the stars and the greatness of the firmament all around. They could not find a greater measure to be used for measurement. Once they had measured the earth's circumference and thickness, they inquired about the moon. Because it was least high from there and nearest to it, and after they inquired of the sun how far it was from there and how much of its body was great, they found it much larger than all the others. And when they had measured these three things - the sun, the moon, and that - they could easily inquire of the other stars how near or far each one was and how large, finding none larger than its body except for three planets without more - Venus, Mercury, and the moon, which is the third. Every man may inquire this if he knows the science of geometry and astronomy. For that must be known first in order to find and know the truth. However, not all are good clerics or masters of astronomy, so we will relate hereafter how long the earth is and how thick it is through. Additionally, we will also describe its width. King Tholomeus was a profound astronomer. This Tholomeus, king of Egypt, ruled the land for a long time. There were other kings named Tholomeus, but this one was renowned for his knowledge in astronomy. He was deeply fascinated by these phenomena and sought to understand them. We will tell you about some things that are not contrary to you, if you are willing to understand and retain them, through which you may learn something good. First, let us recount for you the deeds and exploits of King Tholomeus, who knew so many demonstrations of apparitions. And we will also measure the world for you as best we can. Now listen to the tale of King Tholomeus and the works of some other philosophers for your own profit. This was he who knew most about astronomy and engraved the stars the most, and understood them more than the others. He composed and created many fair volumes and books, and made various instruments through which were discovered all the greatness of the heavens and the height of the firmament. He found out how the stars make their courses both by night and by day. By him were found the orreries of the churches which begin the hours of the days and nights. The days pass quickly, for which churches have great need of good orreries, to do the service of our Lord at the appropriate and due hours, both by day and by night, for God loves much to be adored and served entirely and orderly every day. The Orisons that are said and recited every day in the church place please Him more than those that are said in many other places. Therefore, orreries are necessary in every church, and men serve God better in due time. And fare the better, and live longer, for if they ruled themselves to pray at a certain hour, and at another hour in like wise to eat, and other things in his right hour, it would be a light thing to do and please God, if men would apply themselves as well to such things as they do to doing that which confounds and kills them, that is, that they are all inclined to conquer riches, of which they cease not night nor day, and believe they can prolong their life by them. But they amass and get great treasures, and pursue their death, for by the great goods that they assemble on all sides, they put themselves in such thought and pain that they often lose their wit and understanding, and also their mind, so that they may not incline and think on those works that touch their salvation as they ought to do, and by such works they should be in more ease and live longer, and please our Lord more, and also have more help for body and soul. But they love so much the pursuit of riches. Desire for the world's goods, making them leave that which would be more profitable, I indeed wonder why they acquire this wealth and good, for they lose the ease of the world in doing so. When they think to set themselves in ease and be at peace, then death comes and makes them die with great sorrow, for the great covetousness of the good and the pain they have made all along to obtain it without order and measure has much more hastily brought them to their death. And so many men have died, if they had ordered their affairs and business as they should at every hour, they would still be alive and in good health. And thus you may see how they shorten their days and bring on their death, for Nature cannot endure excessive maintenance, nor sudden aggravations or griefs, which they bring upon Nature through their folly, and it displeases God greatly. And no good can come of it. People gladly and with better will traverse and more diligently to win and acquire worldly goods than the love of God. And they never do anything by order. One day they go early to the church, and another day late or at such an hour as they think it will not hurt their gain and winnings. Thus they never go to church to pray to God until they think they shall win no more worldly goods. But they win less, for they serve God in vain. And God shall render to them their reward, and they shall buy right dear that which they leave to serve Him, for He may render to them more merit in one day than they may get in a thousand years. Such people are fools and badly advised, who think they serve Him the least, yet there are some, when they go to church, they go not in intention to pray to God but only for the loses and goods of the world, and pray more for their own selves. Riches that God should keep and multiply more than they do for the salvation of their souls, which are in great peril of being lost. It is a great marvel of such people that think well in their hearts and know well that it is evil that they do, yet for all that, they amend not. It is a great pity when they so follow the devil, who is willing, for whoever will conduct and rule himself well, the iniquities of him may not annoy or grieve or trouble him in anything, because he has cause to sorrow for it, as long as he disposes himself to do well. Then it may well be said. For they have failed more than failed when he overcomes them so feebly and takes them in their evil deeds and sins and leads them to perdition, where they shall be without pain or joy, nor have any hope of mercy. Of this purpose we shall say no more now, but count the story of King Tholomeus, who spent his time in the works of our Lord God. From his books were drawn the numbers of which the years were ordered, and from the same is found the course of the moon, by which is seen when it is new. This is called the \"summa\" by Julius Caesar, who was made emperor of Rome; it is necessary in the church, and it declares the golden number of the calendar. For by the calendar is known the course of the moon and of the entire year, by which is also known how we ought to live each day, that is, in fasting and abstinence, and in worshiping our lord on holy days and simply, and for solemnizing such days as the church has ordained and established by blessed saints. By the calendar we know the holy times, such as the Yule days, Lent, Advent, and the holy days and festivals that we are most godly for, for the purpose of obtaining his inestimable joy and glory, which our Lord has promised to his good and true friends who serve him with good heart. All this teaches us the calendar, which was drawn from Astronomy, which the good king Tholesius loved so much, and he knew more than any other man save Adam, who was the first man, for Adam knew all seven liberal sciences entirely without failing in a word, as he who formed the creator and the four elements with his own hands. And so the Lord would have had him sovereign in beauty, in wit, and in strength over all those who should be born after him until the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who gave him such virtues. Never after Adam did he give so much to one man, nor will he ever. But as soon as he had consented and committed the sin, he lost much of his wit and power, and he became a man more mortal than before. He would never have felt death before he sinned, nor would all we descendants of him have had less merit than he. In joy. in solace and nourished without sin, and after in heaven glorified. But since they tasted of the forbidden fruit which God had forbidden them, his wit. and his understanding were so destroyed and corrupted by his sin that all we remained affected and harmed by it. Nothing under the firmament is of less value than it was before. The stars give less light than they did before. Thus, all things corrupted by Adam's sin, which God had made for man as one who would make him master of all the goods that he had made, but as soon as he had committed the sin, he felt himself bereft of his wit and understanding strength and of his beauty, so that it seemed to him that he was entirely naked and had lost all goods, as a man put in exile. However, notwithstanding this, he still possessed more wit, strength, and beauty than any man had ever had before. And to the comparison of these three virtues that Adam had, King David, who was so virtuous and wise, had two sons, one of whom could be compared to Adam's beauty, and the other to his wisdom. Absalom could be compared to Adam's beauty. In Adam, wisdom and wit were united, and strength in Samson. No one could compare to him, nor the two sons of David or Samson. For it is said beforehand that he knew the seven liberal sciences better than all men descended from him, as God had taught and instructed him. Afterward, these sciences were sought by many men, causing great pain for those who tried to find and save them, knowing that the world would end by fire or water.\n\nIn Adam's time, there were many men who learned the sciences of the seven liberal arts, which God had sent to them. Some of these men inquired about what would become of the world or if it would have an end. They discovered that it would be destroyed and come to an end twice. The first destruction would be by the flood of water, but God did not want them to know whether it would happen again. The seven liberal sciences were discovered by ancient wise men, out of which it is said that one of these pillars was made of a stone as hard as marble, and of such natural hole without any joints that fire could not harm it in any way. In these great columns or pillars, as said before, were contained and engraved the seven sciences in such a way that those who should come after them would find and learn them. The seven liberal sciences were discovered by ancient wise men. All other sciences originated from those to whom God granted them and imparted knowledge, doubtfully believing the deluge that God sent, which drowned all creatures except those reserved for Noah and those he took into the Ark with him. After this, the world was repopulated and rebuilt by their descendants. For the time of Noah onwards, people began to construct houses and mansions and prepare other works. However, this was done very roughly until the time when these sciences were revived again, and they were then able to make and do things necessary and beneficial for them, and find remedies for their ills. The first to apply himself and enter to inquire and search for these sciences after the flood was Shem, one of Noah's sons, who devoted himself to this endeavor with great diligence and continued in it. By his wit, he discovered a part of astronomy. After him was Abraham, who also discovered a great part of it. After them were others who lived the best they could, having the principles and reasons of the seven sciences. And after them came Plato, the sage and supreme master in philosophy. Plato was the most expert of all those before or after him in this regard. He was the first to assert that there is only one sovereign, from whom all good things come. Yet his books approve that there is only one sovereign good, which is our Lord God, who made all things. In this respect, he proved the true truth, for he proved his power, wisdom, and goodness. These three blessings recall all Christian men: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Of the Father, he said the power and might; of the Son, the Wisdom; and of the Holy Ghost, the benevolence. Aristotle, who came after him, holds many things close to him. Knew the things that he had said and arranged well the science of logic, for he knew more of it than of other sciences. These two notable clerks found, through their wisdom and cunning, three persons in one essence and bought it, but they did not put it in Latin. Both were pagans, as those who were more than three hundred years before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. And all their books were in Greek letters. After Boethius, who was a great philosopher and a very wise clerk, came, who could help him with various languages and valued righteousness greatly. Boethius translated the major part of their books and put them in Latin, but he died before he had translated all of them, which was a great loss for us all. Since then, other clerks have translated, but Boethius translated more than any other, which we still have in use. And in his life, he compiled a great number of fair volumes around it, of which we still have great need. Verses toward our Lord God, and many other great clerks have been in this world of great authority who have learned and studied all their time upon the seven sciences. Among them, some have performed marvels through Astronomy. Above all those who most delved into and traveled upon the science of Astronomy, was Virgil, who composed many marvelous works. Therefore, we shall relate a little here following of the marvels he performed.\n\nVirgil the wise philosopher, born in Italy, existed before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He set little store by the seven sciences, for he traveled and studied them most of his time, to such an extent that by Astronomy, he made many great marvels. For if any fly passed the boundary that Virgil had circumscribed, it would die and could no longer live. He also made a brass horse, which healed and cured all horses of all their maladies and sicknesses from which they were afflicted. Also, as soon as the seek horse looked upon the horse of brass, / He founded a marvelous city upon an egg by such force and power, / that when the egg was broken, the city quaked and shook, / And the more the egg was broken, the more the city quaked and trembled, / The city in high and low and in plain, / The fly of copper and horse of brass that Virgil thus made were in Naples, / And the cage where the egg is in, / All of them were seen there. / This has been said to us by them who have come from there and who have seen them many times. / Also, he made it so that all the fire throughout Rome fell and was quenched, / In such a way that no one could have any, / unless he went and fetched it at the nature of a woman with a candle or otherwise, / And she was the emperor's daughter and a great lady who had done him a great scandal and disgrace beforehand, / and all those who had fetched fire at her could not address it to others, / but each one who wanted fire had to necessarily go fetch it there as the others had. He avenged himself on her by feeding it. And he built the greatest bridge in the world upon a water, and it is not known what material it is made of, whether it be of stone or wood. But there was never a worker so skillful, carpenter or mason, or other, who could discover within it or within the water, how that bridge was set or how it was sustained at ends or in the middles. Men passed over it freely and without hindrance. He also made a garden all around it, enclosed by a thick wall, and this garden was far from it. He made also two towers and a lamp, a light that burned continuously without quenching, and maintained no thing. These three things he enclosed within it, for all the craft they can find. He paid heed to speak, answering all that were demanded of him, as well as what was to come in that place. On one day, he asked the heed how he should proceed in a certain task, where he was to go. But the heed answered him in such a way that he did not understand well, for it said that if he kept the heed well, he would return whole and with this answer he went on his way, assured. But the sun, which gave great heat that day, struck him on the head and heated his brain, of which he took no heed, and he thereby fell ill and died. For when he had the answer of the heed, he did not understand that he spoke of his own heed, but understood that it was the heed that spoke to him. It would have been better if he had kept his own heed. And when he felt himself agreed with sickness, he had himself born out of Rome, to be buried in a castle facing Sezile, a mile from the sea. Yet there are still his. bones which are better kept than others are, and when the bones of him are removed, the sea begins to increase and swell so greatly that it comes to the castle, and the higher they are raised up, the higher the sea grows, in such a way that the castle would be drowned if they were not immediately remedied and set in their place. But then, when they are set again in their place, the sea subsides and goes away as it was before. This has been proven many times, and yet the virtues of him are endured, as they say, by those who have been there. Virgil was a very wise and subtle cleric and full of great ingenuity. For to his power he would apply all the usages of clerics as much as was possible for him to know. He was a man of little stature, somewhat hunched over on his back by nature, and went with his head hanging down and beholding the ground. Virgil did and made many great marvels, which the hearers should hold for lies if they heard them recounted, for they would not believe that. Another could do such things / if they could not interfere / And when they speak of such matters or of other they see before them / and cannot understand or know of it / they immediately say that it is the work of the devil / working in such a manner / as those who gladly misinterpret people of recommendation / And also say it is good not to concern oneself with such things / but if they knew the science and manner / they would hold it for a very noble and right work of nature / and without any other evil / And when they do not know or understand the thing / they say much more evil than good / Certainly, whoever knew well Astronomy, there is nothing in the world / of which he could inquire by reason / but he should have knowledge of it / And many things should he do / that would seem miracles to the people who knew nothing of the science / I say not but there might be much evil done by him who could do it / for there is no good science / but that might be. Intended therein were some malice, and that he might use it in evil who would so apply himself thereto. God made never so good a gospel, but some might turn it contrary to truth. And there is no thing so true but some might so twist it that it should be to his damnation. Whoever would compel him to do evil, how well it is no mastery to do ill. Every man has the power to draw himself to do well, or to do ill, whichever he will, if he gives himself to virtues, this goodness comes to him from our Lord. And if he is inclined to do ill, that brings him at an end to sorrow and perpetual pain. The evil-disposed man shall never say well of that which he cannot well understand and know. There is no craft, art, nor science, but it is good to be known when a man will give and apply himself thereto. But let him do nothing against God by which he loses his grace. All things are known by Astronomy save such things as God wills. That it not be known and therefore it is better to learn that, than to learn how to amass and gather great treasures, for he who could astronomy properly, he should have all that he would have on earth, for he would fail in nothing that he would, and yet more. But they preferred having money, and they did not know that it was of astronomy or why money was found. However, they applied all their intention to have it, but they did not rejoice in learning, except for that which would reduce to their individual profit. And yet, for all that, we shall not leave out, but we shall recite some cases for those who have talent for learning, and let him hear and take heed who will understand it.\n\nThe monies were established first, for as much as they had not of all things necessary to gather,\nOne had wheat, another had wine, and another cloth or other wares, he that had wheat, had not wine without changing one for another, and so must they daily change. one for another, the philosophers saw this, they established, with the lords at times, a little thing which every man might carry with him to buy that was necessary and beneficial for his life. They ordered by advice to create a thing which was not expensive or despised, and of some value to buy and use with all merchandise one with another, by virtue of such a sign. And they established then a little money, which should go and have course through the world. And because it led men by the way and necessitated them, it was called money. In Greek language Monos means one thing only. For then there was but one manner of money in the world. But now every man makes. monies at their disposal enable them to deviate from the path more than if there were only one coin. This is why we often find various monies established. The philosophers did not establish this, for they established it to save the world's state. And I say this, just as if the money were not in groats and pennies of silver, it would be of less weight and less value, and that would be better for carrying by poor people, and easier for their aid in living. And for no other reason was it first ordained, for money is not valued but for the gold and silver that is in it. And those who first established it made it very little and light, for the easier bearing all around, where men would go, for now in late days, as in the beginning of King Edward's reign and long thereafter, the philosophers, through the means of their money, went where they would throughout the world. The merchants, in their turn, merchants, or pilgrims, or in pursuing and inquiring some places that they would know, were many who were philosophers, and those who desired experience of all things. They went by sea and by land for ten thousand leagues and applied themselves to no virtues, unless it was to have the leisure and praise of the world. But they went searching by sea and land on all sides to know the good from the evil and to discern one from the other. By this they endured many great trials to save their souls. And at this day all men seek riches and treasure, and the name to be called master, to get loving and honor of the world, which so hastily fades. Certainly an evil man cannot think on high things, for whoever turns his mind to earth, and whoever comes from heaven to it, God attends him, for God himself says, \"Whoever is of the earth speaks of the earth, and whoever comes from heaven is of heaven.\" Heaven is the lord and ruler above all others. Philosophers who understood this word preferred trials and hardships to learn, rather than pursuing worldly honors. They held sciences and clergy in higher regard than all the seigniories of the world. Plato, a powerful and esteemed master of Athens, left his noble estate and position because he desired such renown that he sought out many lands and countries. He preferred pain, hardship, and travel for the pursuit of truth and learning, rather than seigniories and dominion in the world or renown to be a master. He would say nothing unless he was certain. Any vain glory of the world was meaningless to him. Apolynes, a great prince, left his empire and kingdom. He departed poor and naked to learn the sciences. He was sold to foreigners often and never regained his former wealth. There, none of them so valiant of all them that bought and sold, that he might set anything by it, so that he might always learn and know God and the world, which he loved better than any other worldly thing. And he went so far that he found sitting in a Throne of gold a high philosopher and of great renown, whom he named the Table of the Sun, in which all the world was depicted. Therein he saw and learned many feats and many marvels, which he loved more than any kingdom. He erred so far by strange lands that he passed the flood of the Ganges and all India, and in the end so far that he could find no more way. And wherever he came, he found and learned such as might aid and profit him, teaching him before God. Thus King Alexander also suffered travels without number for the sake of learning. But he went from place to place in royal estate, and with the company of people, therefore he might not so easily. We learn not to inquire the truth of things; Virgil also went through many countries to inquire and search the truth of all things. Tholomeus, who was king of Egypt, was not entirely impartial but went by many commands and saw all the good scholars he could find. Saint Brandon never left, whether by sea or by land, only to see and learn. He saw many great marvels, for he came to an island of the sea where he saw certain birds that spoke as spirits. They said something to him that he demanded of them, and so far he erred that he found one so perilous a place and so full of spirits in such terrible torments that they could not be numbered or estimated. Among whom he saw one that answered him and said that he was Judas, who betrayed Jesus Christ. He was tortured a hundred times a day and could not die, and there were many other great marvels he saw, as is recorded in the legend of his life. There were Many other philosophers searched the world as much as possible for them to know the difference between good and evil and spared nothing, for they did not lightly believe anything until they knew it well through experience. Not all that they found in their books, they had proven it for knowing God better and loving Him. But they searched by sea and by land until they had explored all, and then returned again to their studies to teach virtues and good manners. Thus, they loved philosophy, for knowing themselves better in good and just life. However, since we have spoken much of philosophy and since much good comes from it, that a man may have understanding to know and love God, therefore we shall tell you what it signifies:\n\nTrue Philosophy is to have knowledge of God and a fine love of wisdom, and to know the secrets and order of divine things, and of human things, for knowing God and His power. A man should be what he needs to be to conduct himself in a way pleasing to God and His mysteries. He should connect entirely with philosophy. All good philosophers have within themselves the knowledge of this. In response to some who questioned him in a communal setting, Plato said that he had learned enough and needed no more, as he had spent all his time learning. It was said to him, \"Master, it is well in you to say something worthy of high thought, as you have done other times.\" In response, Plato, troubled in his heart and feeling like an empty vessel, said that he had learned as much as he felt himself to be. Plato, at that time, was the most experienced and deeply knowledgeable person in the world. Those who meddle in these days should take no heed of such an answer, but should feign agreement instead. Many great clerks and experts, desiring to gain the world's praise and looses that lead them to damnation, make them understand no more than beasts. Not all clerks have short wits, for there are many who have the appearance of a clerk but cannot well understand what they read, nor can some priests truly read. When such know one thing that seems valuable to them, they believe they know it all. Yet much remains of their foolish conceit. These proud fools, who seek nothing but the world's praise and deceive themselves in turn, shall abandon such ways. It would be better for them to learn such sciences that would help them understand troubles and truth, like ancient wise men did. These wise men, who little prized the world, spent all their time learning philosophy. Thus they studied. Anciently, philosophers urged their followers to address themselves to their maker and creator, and truly they encouraged all people to virtue. They established the monies that they bore as a means of living and paying, for men do not always give. And due to the people's fear of their expenses, it corrupts right and nature. For reason and right, each ought to take his living, and therefore money was established far beyond necessity. People retained and kept more goods and riches than they needed, letting them rot and fail by them, and many poor persons had great need of them. The monies were not founded for this cause, but for living, until they now are, and each should have that which he lacked and they should leave to do so many sins. But they were not as wise as they were, who by their wit rediscovered astronomy, of whom Tholomeus was one. tra\u2223uaylled so moche that he knewe and proued the cours of the sterres that ben on the heuen / and mesured them all on hye / wherof we haue spoken here to fore / And now we shal recounte from hensforth the gretenes of therthe and of heuene / of the Mone / of the Sonne / of the Sterres / and of the planetes / whiche thynges be not comune vn\u2223to alle men / lyke as the kynge Tholomeus hym self me\u2223sured them vnto the abysme / And preuyd by reson in a book that he compyled named Almageste / whiche is as moche to saye as an hye werke / Thenne wyl ye here what he saith herto / whiche many another hath also proued after hym by his booke / In whyche he gaf the crafte & scyence to proue and see it by reson / \nTHe Auncyent philosophres mesured the world on alle parties / by their science. Arte. and wytte vnto the sterres all on hye / of whiche they wolde knowe the me\u2223sure / ffor to knowe the better their nature / But first they wolde mesure therthe and preue his gretenes / And the\u0304ne whan they had mesured therthe al a boute by a crafte that they knewe and proued by right reson / they mesured it rounde a\u00a6boute lyke as they sholde haue compassed it al a\u2223boute wyth a gyrdle / And thenne they stratched out the gyrdle al alonge / And thenne that whiche wente out of lengthe of the gyrdle / they fonde it in lengthe .xx.M.cccc. and .xxvij. myles / Of whyche euery myle conteyneth a thousand paas / and euery paas fyue foot / and euery fote xiiij ynches / Somoche hath the erthe in lengthe round a boute / by this fonde they after how thycke therthe is in the myddle / And they fonde the thycknes therof lyke as it shold ben cmesured iustely the heyght of the firmament / ffor they coude nowher fynde a gretter mesure / ffor textende the gre\u2223tenesse of alle thynges whiche ben enclosed wythin the heuene / \nTHerthe as the au\u0304cyent philosophres saye / after they had mesured it / they mesured ye sterres / the planetes\nand the firmament / And first they mesured the mone / & preuyd his gretnesse / And they fonde the body of therthe without and Within that, the diameter was more than the body of the moon by twenty-nine times and a little more. They found that its height was above the earth twenty-two and a half times, as much as it has in thickness. Similarly, in touching the sun, by clear demonstration and reason, since the sun is greater than all others by one hundred and sixty-sixth part, those who know nothing of this find it hard to believe. Yet it is sufficiently proven, both by the mastery of science as well as by true knowledge of geometry. Many philosophers since then have found this out, having studied and labored to know the truth. If it were as said, or not, they quickly proved that ancient philosophers spoke the truth about the sun's quantity as well as its height. Regarding the one who compiled this work, he devoted all his intent and time because he had so much interest in it. Greet marvellous thing, for he had clearly perceived that of which he was in doubt, as he distinctly saw that the sun was larger than all else without any defect by about 150 times, and the three parts of the twenty-eighth part of that, as ancient philosophers said. Then he believed him who was given to him to understand, and he would never have put this in writing if he had not certainly known the truth and had plainly proved it. It is of great quantity, as it is so far from us and seems so little to us. He will never be so far above us but in the same way he will be as far when he is under or on the other side of us. And truly it is from there to the sun, like how King Tholomeus has proven, five hundred and eighty-eight times as much as there may have in magnitude and thickness.\n\nNow I will briefly tell you about the stars of the firmament, of which there is a great multitude. And they were all of one height, but not all of equal greatness. It is necessary to pass lightly and briefly over those who would not merit greatness. I advise and certify you that there is none so little among them that you can see in the firmament, but that it is greater than all the others. But there is none of them so great or shining as the Sun, for he enlightens all the others by his beauty, which is so noble. From the earth, where the stars are set, to the heaven where they are situated, is a very great distance. It is ten thousand and five hundred miles, and more than that, in thickness. Whoever could calculate the number and form, he might know how many inches it is from the hand of a man to the firmament or heaven. It is as much distance to the heaven as if one could go the right way without letting go, and that he might go every day twenty-five miles. If the text is about distances and time in old English, I will assume it is from a medieval manuscript and translate it into modern English while maintaining the original meaning. I will also correct OCR errors.\n\nThe text reads: \"for a mile which is the English furlong, and he tarried not on the way, yet he would have gone the time of seven and a half million years and more, before he had gone so far a way as from here to heaven where the stars are, if the first man that God formed, who was Adam, had gone from the first day that he was made and created, twenty-five miles every day, yet he would not have come here but would have had yet the space of over two hundred and seventeen years to go, at the time when this volume was performed by the very author; and this was at Epiphany in the year of grace 1525 and 46. That time he would have had so much to go before he came here, or if there were there a great stone which should fall from thence, it would be a hundred years before it came to the ground, and in the falling it would descend in every hour of which there are twenty-four in a day, forty-three and a half miles; yet it would be so long before it came here.\"\n\nCleaned text: If a mile is the English furlong, and he didn't stop on his journey, it would have taken him seven and a half million years and more to reach here from this place, where the stars are, if Adam, the first man God formed, had traveled twenty-five miles every day since his creation. He would still have over two hundred and seventeen years to go when this book was written, around Epiphany in the year 1525 and 46. The time it would have taken him to reach here is immense, or if a large stone fell from that place, it would take a hundred years to hit the ground, and during its fall, it would cover forty-three and a half miles each hour, which has twenty-four in a day. This is a compilation of this present volume. The author went far in this work. This is more than twenty times the distance an horse can go without resting. Regarding the stars, we shall tell you, as the noble king Tholomeus named them in his Almagest, to whom he gave proper names, and said that there were a thousand and twenty-two, all clear and visible, without the seven planets. And these may be accounted for without any parallax. In all, there are one million, two hundred and ninety-nine, which may be seen without many others, which may not be seen or espied. There may not be more seen or apparently known than this. Now, behold, for no man, however he travels or studies, may find more or can comprehend so much, or can have such subtle instruments as King Tholomeus had found by. He who knew and could not number them, and where each one sat, near or far, was of one or other, and the knowledge of their images, which formed them by their appearance, were for the stars which are unnamed, all figures in the heavens and surrounded by images, and each one had diverse beings, and every one had its form and its name. Of these, there were principally 48 within the firmament, and of them 12 were taken, the most worthy, which were called the 12 Signs. And they made a circle around the seven planets, where they made their turn. We are very far from heaven marvelously, and every man knew that he who died in mortal sin would never come thither. And the blessed soul which had departed from the body in a good state, notwithstanding the long way, was soon there, and to the most high place before the sovereign judge, who sat on the right side. Of God the Father, in His blessed heaven, which is so full of delights of all glory and of all consolation, that there is no man in this world living or dead who can estimate and think the capacity and greatness of heaven, nor compare it or value it to the capacity and greatness of all those things that are there, or so much as can comprehend from there to the firmament. Indeed, the firmament up high is so spacious, so noble, and so large, that with all his wit, a man cannot think or estimate the number of like masses as all those that fill it, who would fill it if they were all in one mass. Who is he that could or might comprehend or contain the greatnesses of them all when they are all assembled? And each one is as great as all those. Nevertheless, we shall say to you as much as we can imagine,\n\nIf the earth were so great and so spacious. spacious and so much more to receive a hundred thousand times as many people as ever were in this world, and every man of them so mighty to engender a man every day for a hundred thousand years, and every man as great as a giant, and every man had houses, rivers, champaigns, gardens, meadows, pastures, and woodlands each about his castle or place to live with, and each had such great feasts that each might hold a hundred man-at-arms to serve him, and each of these man-at-arms held twenty more, and had to them great room and pomp in their manner. All these might be received spaciously within the firmament, and yet there would be much space vacant more than all they might possess and take for to play and disport themselves in, if they would. Then we ought well to know that our Lord God is mighty. And of a right high estate, when He can make of nothing so noble a thing as the heaven, and the stars which are in the heaven. The sun and all other things in heaven, on earth, and in the sea, a lord and master such as this should be regarded as god, for we have clear knowledge of such noble things. We ought to love him profoundly, and every man may rightly think that the thing above is very gentle and noble, while that which is below is subtle. Yet that which is above is much greater than a hundred thousand times that which is below, and beyond all that can be known or counted or imagined. This is a thing which in no way has an end or limit, and therefore I can well understand that there is nothing which can surpass or equal this, which is above the firmament, where the heavens take their stand, nor can it be filled with anything but the goods of our lord God. The truly gracious lord is so full of all good things that he fills all things. other things that should have a part and merit in goods, and evil departs from the good in such a way that it is empty and disfigured from all goods, whatever it may be, and this is what is read about: sin is nothing, for as much as it is empty and disfigured of all goodness, and it renders the body and soul so much weakened and disfigured of all virtues and graces that the one is totally destroyed and perished with the other, for evil always comes to nothing, and contrary to this, good always grows and improves. Therefore, there is no evil but sin, which is nothing. For you may understand that it comes to nothing like a dunghill. There is nothing that ought to be made right but this: that which ought to be permanent. And therefore, it is good for a man to hold himself near the good, for the good always improves, and he who customarily does gladly the good works is their cause to lead. hymn to heaven, as one who has no other crafted dwelling place, and therefore he must inhabit there. He behooves him to come into heaven to retain his place and also to fill it. There is no man in the world who can do so much good that he shall not always find his place and his reprieve propitious after his merits. For as much as this so noble a place is without end and without term, in such a way, that no goods, whatever they may be, shall have term or end, nor ever have default, but it is continually full of all consolation, of all delights, of all goods, of all joy, and of all gladness, without having anything void. Of which those who deserve it from our Lord shall have full possession of all the inestimable goods. Of hell, I may freely say to you, that there is nothing save sorrow and torment. Truly the most anguishing, the most horrible, and the most sorrowful, that there is no like. And if the children who have been born. All sinned Adam and Eve, yet it could not be filled by them, though there were twice as many. And those who perished there shall be damned and perpetually tormented, for after they are damned, they shall abide ever as long as God is, which is without beginning and without end. And there they shall burn in eternal fire without hope of pardon or mercy or any hope to have anything better, but always worse from time to time. As it is that the saved souls desire the day of judgment and of reward for their bodies and souls. The damned souls dread and fear it, thinking that after that day they shall be perpetually tormented in body and soul. And to that dreadful day they are not tormented in the body, but in the soul. I have recited this thing briefly to this end, that it may be certainly known that there is no good deed but it shall be rewarded, nor any evil deed but that it shall be punished. This is the will of the Creator and Maker. of all thinges\nwythoute whom ther is none that in ony maner hath ony power / and he is somoche a debonayer lorde ful of souerayn puissaunce and of grete and of infynyt goodes / that ther is no comparison to hym / As he that all thynge created. made. and establisshid of nought at his playsir and will But syth we haue spoken to yow of the inestymable gre\u2223tenesse of the firmame\u0304t wherin the sterres be sette whiche alleway is in moeuyng / So shal ye vnderstonde that ther is an heuen aboue / where they that ben there moeue no\u2223thyng / but ben contynuelly in one estate / lyke as somme man remeuyd hym from som place to another / the fyrst place meuyd hym not / But he that shold goo so al aboute lyke round aboute a cercle / shold ofte go fro place to place er he come to his place / and so longe he myght goo that he shold come right to the place fro whens he departed first But that place shold not meue / but holde hym alleway in one poynt / Now wylle ye thus vnderstonde of this he\u2223uen / that ther is no maner place that This heaven is not from the stars or from the firmament, but they hold them firmly all as they may. This heaven must be understood by those who are astronomers. This is the clear one that surrounds all around and is of such great temperament that it can have no violence. This is the heaven that encloses the firmament. Now I shall tell you openly that what you may understand here before, by hearing, may not be taken or known, nor proven if it is true or not, nor can it be demonstrated in any way, like that which can be seen by the eye. For the wisdom of a man does not have the power. Nevertheless, we shall tell you this, that we truly find by writing in certain places, like some ancient philosophers have imagined and thought of, of which they found certain reasons.\n\nAbove this heaven that we can see, as ancient clerks say, there is another heaven all around that is above and beneath, like white crystal in color. clere and pure, and most noble; it is called the heavenly crystal. Above this heavenly crystal, all around, is another heaven, the color of purple, as the divines say, and it is called the Imperial heaven. This heaven is adorned and filled with all beauties more than any of the others mentioned, and there it is seven times fairer and clearer than the sun. From this Imperial heaven, the evil angels are filled with pride, which were deprived of all glory and all goods. There are the blessed angels of the Lord.\n\nIf you wish to understand this celestial heaven, which is above all others, you shall be blessed in all things; for nothing but goodness and sweetness can grow there, by reason and right. This is the proper place of the Holy Trinity, where God the Father sits in his worthy majesty. But in that place, the intent of any earthly man fails; for there is no good teacher there. That may think the tenth part of the glory that is there, and if the Lord pours out his favor on any place, he is entitled to have it by right, but he is so common overall that he sees every man who deserves it against him, and sees all things here and there. He sees all around as one who has all things in his keeping. Take this as an example: God is over all and reigning over all in every place, and is present in all places at once and immediately. The light and clarity that grows from him enlightens all things both here and there, and the resplendence goes equally to the side yonder as to the side here, when such things have like virtue. Over much more ought he to have who made and created all things, and in whom are all goods. His heaven is stretched out as that which is Lord and Master of all. In heaven are all things, all archangels and all the angels. Saints who sing all together for God's glory and praise with great joy and consolation. There is none who can comprehend or mortal man's heart may understand what thing is heaven, and how great joy they have to whom He has given and granted it. The best scholar of the world, the most subtle, and the best speaking of all who ever lived on earth or shall be in any time of the world, and though he had a thousand tongues speaking, and each of the tongues spoke by him, and also had a thousand subtle and memorable hearts within his body, the best chosen to understand and experiment, and if this might be and happen that all this might be gathered in the body of a man, and after that might always think the best way they could deserve and devise the state of heaven, yet they might never in any manner of the world declare the intention of every heart. Say not I tell of the thousandth part of the great joy that those who are there will have, and woe to him who shall not be there. For those who shall be in heaven would not be for all the days of the world. Lords and kings of all the monarchies of the world, earthly though their commands might be observed and done, would not be one hour out of heaven. For there is the life everlasting, and there is the perfect and inestimable joy that ever was and ever shall be. There is every thing established and certain for evermore without end and without beginning or ever shall fail, nor shall there be any doubt of death or sickness, of sorrow, anguish, or death, of anger, travel, pain, or poverty, of captivity or any tribulation that may happen to any man in any manner of the world to him that shall have his dwelling in heaven. But he shall be continually in joy, in solace, in all delights, and in all good things everlasting and without end. And he shall have more consolation than any man can think or estimate, though he employ all his engineering to understand it. Now, to know what it is of heaven and hell, after our previous declaration, and with this firmament, the stars and the seven planets, I present them to you here on the other side of this leaf by this figure. By which you may greatly profit if you will apply and employ your understanding to it.\n\nWith this we shall make an end of our book. Which at the beginning speaks of our Lord God, why he formed the world, and why he loved man so well that he formed him to his likeness, and gave him power to do good and evil. After why he made him not such that he might not sin mortally. And how the seven sciences and arts were first found. Since it speaks of three manner of people that ancient philosophers put in the world, how nature works, and what she is, & how she diversifies in every one of her works, Also you have heard of them. facion of the world and of the division of the four elements, which are round about, and hold them on the firmament. And how the earth holds him within the firmament. Also, you have heard of its littleness in comparison to heaven. And also how the sun makes his course through the lands and regions of India, and of the diversities that are there of men, beasts, trees, stones, birds, and some fish. And where hell, the dolorous place, is and stands, and of the great pains that the damned endure who are there. After you have heard of the second element, that is of water, of the seas and fountains hot and cold, wholesome and unhealthy, which are in diverse countries, and how the sea became mixed up again after the flood, and of the marvels that Virgil made by his wit and clergy, and for what cause money was so named and established, and of the philosophers who went through the world to learn, what is philosophy and what. Plato answered this question: How much of the earth does the moon and the sun have in size and in the arrangements of their stars, of their names, and of their images? What is the height and size of the firmament, and of the blue heaven that is above it? Of the crystalline heaven, and of the imperial heaven? And as you have heard about the celestial heaven and its state, and about God, who is over all these things, you have heard us recount and tell you many fair reasons briefly. Princes and other people are not curious about long explanations without great intent, but prefer short things, as those who are not of long time but pass quickly, for we all shall come to nothing more quickly than we would like. This world passes from time to time like the wind, and fades from day to day, and makes every person a little insignificant, for it is so full of vanity that there is no end to it. \"Although there is little truth in it, and he who waits longest to depart here is often the one who stays the least and finishes first, I counsel every man to live well and truly for the short time he has in this world full of tribulations and mysteries. For no one knows what hour or time death will come for him, and it often happens that he or she who thinks yet to live and play in this world for six or eight or ten years dies in less than five days, and finds himself damned and cast down into the burning forges of hell, and then is he in a good hour born and well advised, when at his end he is taken into the service of our Lord, and nothing in worldly voluptuousness and damage remains, and that his maker has granted him the understanding of himself and the time and space. For God will render to him such a rich gift and fair one that he will have all goods at his disposal with joy.\" \"perdurable in heaven, the one who grants us pity, mercy, and all good things, both past and future. Thus ends the book called The Thymage or Mirror of the World, which in speaking of God and His inestimable works, has now come to speak directly of Him and His high powers and dominions. For in all beginnings and in all operations, the name of God should be invoked. He grants us the ability to begin, persevere, and attain blessed glory in heaven, to the blessed Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, who live and reign without end.\"\n\n\"And where it is so that I have presumed and translated this aforementioned translation into our English and maternal tongue, in which I am not perfectly proficient, and even less so in French.\" I have endeavored in this translation, at the request and desire of the honorable and worshipful man, Hugh Bryce Citizen and Alderman of London, who intends to present it to the powerful noble and virtuous lord, my lord Chamberlain, to our sovereign lord the king, and his lieutenant of the town of Calais & Marches, in which translation I acknowledge myself simple, rude, and ignorant.

+{"content": "Here begins the prophecy, translated from Latin and French into our English tongue, of the political book named Tullius on Senectute. This book was written by Tullius on the disputations and communications made to the powerful duke Cato, senator of Rome, by Scipio and Lelius, young noble knights and also senators of the said Rome, regarding the recommendation and magnification that should be given to men of old age for their deserts and experience in the wisdom of political governance, and their condemnation of those who revile or despise old age. Cato exhorts and counsels old men to be joyful and bear patiently old age when it comes to them. And Tullius, in reverence of Cato, declares this by way of example. How Ennius the ancient philosopher intends and writes in three verses to his friend Attius, also a senator of Rome, how he took great thought and care for the government of the common prosperity, for which he deserved great reward. The Latin text \"Res Publica,\" keeping the Romans prosperous and defending them from adversaries and rebels, was translated and the stories openly declared by the order and desire of the ancient knight Sir John Fastolf of the county of Norfolk, living the age of eighty. He exercised war in the Kingdom of France and other countries for the difference and universal welfare of both realms of England and France for forty years. He held justice and political governance under three kings: Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI. He was governor of the duchy of Anjou and the county of Maine. Captain of many towns, castles, and fortresses in the said Kingdom of France, having the charge and safeguard of them diverse years. Occupying and reaping the wages of three hundred spears and the bows customary there. Yielding good account of the aforementioned. towns and castles were granted to the said kings and their lieutenants, princes of noble recommendation, such as John, Regent of France, Duke of Bedford, Thomas Duke of Exeter, Thomas Duke of Clare, and other lieutenants. They requested that these reductions be taken patiently and that I submit to their amending and correction. This book, which was drawn and compiled from the books of ancient philosophers of Greece, as specified in the theoretical text of Tulius Seneca in Latin, is described as concise. However, this book, reduced into English tongue, is more fully explained and sweeter to the reader, retaining the just sentence of the Latin.\n\nI have obtained this book, which has come into my possession with great expense and labor, having carefully read and considered its noble, honest, and virtuous content necessary for men stepping in. This text appears to be written in Early Modern English. I will clean the text by removing unnecessary elements, correcting OCR errors, and modernizing the spelling. I will also preserve the original structure and meaning as much as possible.\n\nage and instruction for young men, to learn how they ought to come to the same, a thing naturally desired by every reasonable man. The matter and communication of this book between the wise and noble man Cato, on one side, and Scipio and Lelius, two young knights, on the other, is highly beneficial for every man, virtuous and well-disposed, to know. Since I have not seen a copy of it before, I have endeavored to obtain it with great difficulty and have had it printed. I have corrected it diligently, to the extent of my limited understanding, so that noble, virtuous, and well-disposed men might have it to read and understand. This book is not required nor suitable for every rude and simple man, who does not understand science or art. It is for noble, wise, and great lords, gentlemen, and merchants. And daily have been occupied in matters concerning the public weal, and in particular, those who have reached their youth, middle age called virtue, and approached old and ancient age. In which they may see how to suffer and endure, and learn what security and virtue are in the same. And have cause to be joyous and glad, that they have escaped and passed the numerous perils and doubtful adventures that have been in store for them.\n\nHow Attius was recommended for keeping the office of Justice, with regard to prudence and temperance.\nHow Tullius wrote this book, with Caton disputing old age with two knights of Rome named Scipio and Laelius.\nHow every man desires to reach old age.\nHow fools complain against nature.\nHow Laelius wished to learn from Cato to bear age easily.\nHow old age rejoices in being free from the delight of the flesh.\nHow Themistocles, the gentleman of Athens, answered Seriphus the clown.\nHow old age is not easily borne in poverty.\nHow old aged men should use truly their crafts. With virtues, I will recount how Quintus Fabius recovered the city of Tarentum. How Fabius was virtuous in his age is also recounted here. The offices of Cato in Rome are rehearsed below. How Fabius ordered that offices should be granted to men well disposed. How, despite his age, Fabius exercised arms. Of Fabius' temperament.\n\nFabius suffered Hanibal to be idle by means of truces, through which his soldiers were disused and filled with sensuality. Fabius always tended to the welfare of the common profit. Of the great concerns and thoughts he took for the recovery of the city of Tarentum.\n\nSalmator would have excused himself from the losing of a castle, for which he was accused by Fabius, saying \"Nam nisi admisissem, ego recepissem\" (Had I admitted, I would have received). Fabius did many good deeds in times of war and peace.\n\nFabius resisted those who would have endangered the common wealth of Rome and those who did not exercise their offices duly. Fabius was divine and knew what was to come by prodigies. Fabius was thus. Constant in Chere, he was not dismayed for the death of his son. Fabius deserved great praise for his noble governance. Here Caton concludes the reasons before said: old age is not wretched, as he proves by the life of Fabius. Plato, the philosopher, wrote books at the age of twenty-four. Socrates wrote a book on how a man should despise death at the age of eighty-four. Gorgias lived a hundred and seven years and was never idle. A simple answer: fools make when they grow old.

An example of how aged men should read and enjoy pleasant histories. Study and reading delight the spirits of men. Aged men, as Cecilius says, are ready to believe. Nota: Three conditions in old age are light to believe: foryetful, and strange to please. Apius, old and blind, governed his sons and daughters. Cato exhorted to have old age in recommendation.

My sovereign friend Attitus, how is it that I know for certain that you are both night and day pensive and careful? The government of the commonwealth of the Romans, in Latin Res publica, is like that of the noble consul Tytus Flaminius of Rome. I may not, through the following sentences of three verses, spoken by the worthy philosopher Ennius the poet to his friend Attitus, fail to deserve a good reward. Great fees and wages, if I, by my wit and reason, reduce in the said verses to help the conduct and support the orders, and in any way the charges and labors that you have taken on for the public profit, called the common wealth. To be so constantly and politically ruled is a burning and tormenting thing in your heart. To such an extent that through the same labors exercised, your wits and understanding are always occupied toward such worldly things for the profitable order. And well disposed for the universal welfare of the city of Rome on earthly and worldly things, through which study and endeavor. You are greatly oppressed and truly distressed in your spirits, where through you are more than worthy of thanks. The said verses of the great poet Ennis are not only of such great effect, sententiously expressed in so few words, but they are of right substance, true and full of good faith and credence.\n\nI, your very friend Attitus, understand and know the temperance and the natural law of Justice in your courage, and I also understand that by the magnification of your science and understanding, I know of no one in the school and study of Athens of such great renown and laud to be of equal worship in that universe, but many men know and understand the great benefit, the temperance, and also the prudence of the aforementioned virtues in you. And yet, I believe and deem that you are sometimes moved and troubled in your spirits for the aforementioned causes. Of this, I am. I of the same disposition as yourself, but at this time I cannot give you greater comfort than I currently can. Therefore, I shall remain to comfort you until another time. But now, it seems good that I write to you about something concerning the worship and recommendation of ancient age. I want us both to be comforted and relieved of the burden that is coming to both of us, that is, the burden of age, which certainly comes and distresses us. I will comfort you and myself through this book, although I know that now you suffer and endure patiently and wisely all things that come to you. Nevertheless, whenever my will was to write something about the age of antiquity, I refrain from doing so as if I were him who was worthy of having this present book, which each of us shall commonly use for our solace. And truly, after I had considered writing this book on moral philosophy, the labor and making of it was so joyful to me that. Not only did it take away from me all charges and grudges of age, but it has come toward me so sweet and pleasant. Therefore, my friend Atticus, there is no man by whom philosophy may be praised more than she. For she is such that if a man obeys her perfectly in following her commandments, he may live without sorrow and without any pain, and as for other things pertaining to philosophy, we have said enough and will say often in other books. And for this reason, we have sent this present book in which we speak of age, attributing and directing all our words to the old Cato, not as Aristotle did in his book on age, which directed his words and speech to King Tityus, brother of Laomedon. For our present book would have little authority if we attributed it to a man. of whom men tell a fable or a feigned tale, we compile our book so concisely that these two noble young Roman men, Lelius and Sipio, marvel and question among themselves how Duke Caton bears and endures his ancient age so lightly and easily. And after that, we relate what the old Caton answers to Lelius and Sipio through reasons and examples, explaining and recommending why age should be worshipped and respected for many great and necessary causes. If it seems that in this present book Caton disputes and speaks more wisely than in his other books, it must be attributed and remitted without blame to the Greek books and language in which the said Caton studied and learned plainly in the time of his old age. It is not necessary to say more about the praise of this book, for Caton's language will soon declare our sentiment regarding the honor and wisdom of old age.\n\nHere ends the prologue of the book and begins the disputation made by Tullius, beginning in the Latin book \"Sepe numero.\" I admire you, Scipio, and Lyvis, the friend of Cato. Noble philosopher and valiant duke Cato, I, Scipio, have often marveled, as has my fellow Gaius Lyvis, at your high wisdom and profit in knowledge, which you possess as in other things. I am also accustomed to marvel that old age, which is so hateful to some old men that they say it is a more grievous and heavier burden than Mount Etna, called Ethna, did not seem to weigh heavily or grievously upon you. For each of the six ages, which men call childhood, adolescence, youth, virility, manhood, and old age, seem heavy and burdensome to men themselves who have nothing to help and support them in living pleasantly and blessedly as those who possess them. Exercising sciences and virtues, and engaging in good works are essential for those who find in themselves all the goods and things necessary for living well and blessedly. There is nothing that comes to such men in old age due to the fault of nature that seems evil or unpleasant to them. It is certain that old age is such that it contains within itself all the goodnesses that are conducive to living well and blessedly. And yet old age is such that all men desire to reach it. However, the mutability and bad dispositions of men are so great in our days that they blame old age when they reach it, because then they can no longer enjoy delights.\n\nAll the fools say that old age comes upon them sooner than they expect, or they think, but I ask a question of such men: what kind of folly compels them to believe or suppose the thing that is false? For they can give no reason why old age enters a man sooner after adolescence than adolescence enters after childhood, which is called childhood. Which is the second age, and why is it so ordered by nature that one age follows the other, or inquire I how old age should be less burdensome and less grievous to men if they might live to be 80 years old? For why, since the past age was longer, it neither comforts nor argues nor satisfies the foolish old man. Therefore, if you are amazed by my folly in my age, which I would wish to be such as you esteem and understand, and worthy to be known and bear my surname Caton, I answer you that if I am wise, my wisdom is equal in this matter. I follow the law and orders of Lady Nature, the right good leader of kind, and I obey her for all her commandments are pleasant like the commandments of the divine gods, because both draw us to the true wealth of blessed disposition. It is not seemly since Nature has well disposed and ordered the other five first ages each according to his office that she had not. The last stage of old age is gently left to order, which is the ending of men. And as it comes from a fool and a negligent clerk who cannot or will not fulfill the book he began, I say that it must necessarily have some ending, sweet and soft, to endure for the wise man, as nature has ordained in the fruits of trees and of the earth which have the fruit soft or hard that they remain on the tree and fall after they are ripe enough. Nature has ordained some endings for the causes of ages, as fools will argue and rebel against the natural order. But this debate and rebellion is primarily compared and likened to the fiction of poets, who by their tales feigned that in the time of Jupiter, king of the land of Crete, the giants, as fools would, waged war against the gods. Lelius requested a question from Caton, I promise Scipion that you will do unto us rightfully the gracious signs of friendship if we have learned this before or become old men. Caton answered, \"I will do as you ask me, so that each of you may have agreeable words from me. Lelius and Scipion asked this question to Caton, so that it is not burdensome to us. They inquired, \"What is the long path you have come on from your childhood until this age? For you can teach us, as one who has undertaken a long journey in which we must enter.\" Caton replied, \"I have often been in disputes over scholarly causes and in the councils of my fellows.\" In the disputing and pleading of their matters and processes, things resembling examples were lightly understood and assembled. I shall tell you about great men Salmator and Spurius Albinus, former consuls in Rome, who were around the same age as I. They used to sorrow and weep because in the time of their old age they had no fleshly delight; they said their life was nothing without it. They also expressed their displeasure and held in reproach those by whom they would be haunted, magnified, and worshipped. Men like Salmator and Albinus, in my opinion, did not accuse or blame that thing which they wept and sorrowed over. For if that thing, the cause of their weeping, came about due to the fault of old age, then I and all others who are greater and older than I would face the same two causes for which they sorrowed. But it is not so. I do not. I know many who are older than I am endure and gladly bear their old age without complaint. The blame and vice of complaining about old age lies not in the age itself but in the conditions and manners of the men. Old, temperate men who are not dangerous or cruel endure and bear their old age lightly. But those who impose cruelty and unmanly governance are charging and grievous to old age, and to all other ages. Lelyus answers and after their demand, certainly Caton it is so, as you say. However, perhaps some might argue that you bear and endure better than old age due to your wealth and the possession of temporal goods because of your dignity and truth. This thing that you have come to possess has only come to you because of your dignity. A few men, Caton replies, you are indeed the reason why the riches and dignity I have made my old age more bearable. But in this matter, not all means should patiently endure old age. I will tell you by example. There was a nobleman of Athens named Themistocles, who lived on the Isle of Seriphus, where were commonly found unruly and ill-conditioned men. This nobleman of Athens, to this unruly crowd of Seriphus, Themistocles answered: \"By God, I am a man of Seriphus as you are, yet should I not be a churl, and if you had been of Athens as I am, you would never have been noble in esteem nor gentle. Likewise, this comparison of old age may not be soft or light to endure in great poverty. Yet old men were wise and full of learning. Old age is also harmful and dangerous for the old man, yet if he has great abundance of goods by birth, my friends Scipion and Lelius, the right weapons of old age are the crafts and occupations to use wisely. The exercising principal virtues, that is, temperance, prudence, fortitude, and justice, if these virtues are well set to work throughout your age, after you have lived long enough, they will bring to you the marvelous fruits of delight by the sweet remembrance of past good deeds. The fruits of virtues are not only marvelous because they will never leave their master, namely in the last time of old age, which is truly a great and singular thing, but also because the fruits of virtues are marvelous for the conscience of the man who has well lived. And as the record of remembrance of many good deeds done is a right glad and some thing for old age, therefore it may appear to you that old age is not. Without the context of the original document, it is difficult to determine if any modern English translation is necessary. However, based on the given text, it appears to be written in early modern English. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nI come now to show that the old men should not be despised nor rejected nor forsaken by other men, when I was an adolescent, as much as I loved the old man Quintus Fabius, who took and recovered the city of Tarentum, which is in the land of Apulia. I loved him, who was like me in age and condition. Fabius had in himself a good disposition of moderation mixed with courtesy and honesty and cleanliness. His old age had not changed his usages and good customs in any way, but they were as good or better than they were in his first time. I began to haunt and love the said Fabius, although he was not remarkably old, but nevertheless he was older than I. Fabius was the first consul of Rome in the year that I was born, and in the year of his fourth consulship, I, who was then a young adolescent and knight, went with the said Fabius to Capua, a city in Campania, and the fifth year. after I was Quaestor and went to Tarent, and after I was made edile of Rome in the fourth year after I was praetor, which is the supreme dignity in Rome, I had this dignity at that time when Tudicanus and Cetegus were consuls of Rome. Fabius, who was then old, acted so much by his amiability and purposeful use of fair words that the law of Cincius was received at Rome by which he made order in the distribution of offices, that is, that the gifts should not be excessive or evil employed, and that the offices should be committed by election to sufficient men in good standing and acceptable persons. However, Fabius, who was plainly old, made battles so victoriously and so eagerly as if he had been in the age of adolescence in the time that Hannibal, a young man and duke of Carthage, made war against Rome and the country around it. Fabius, then old, suffered Hannibal to sport and take recreation in the Campania of Rome, and by the suffrance he had against him. Hanibal/he lessened and weakened him and his host so much that they were so enamored and delighted in fleshly delights that they forgot and lost all exercise of arms and the discipline of knighthood. This foolish poet, our good and clever friend Ennius Fabius, said, he was a Roman. He restored our country, our franchises, and our liberties through the respect and long suffering that he had against our great enemy Hanibal. Fabius was then old and so temperate and prudent that above all other vanity, glory, he did not set by it, but before all other things he put the health and welfare of the common profit of his country. For this reason, the fame, glory, worship, and the reputation of Fabius shone and flourished after his death more than at that time when he lived. It would be a great thing to tell and to see by what diligence and by what counsel he took and recovered the city of Tarente, which then was... A castle was taken by the Africans at that time, and it is said that a Roman consul named Salmator lost the castle of Tarente and fled into its tower. After that, Fabius regained the same castle. Salmator, hearing this from Fabius and boasting about his role in the recovery, said to Fabius, \"You have recovered it through me and my efforts, indeed. If you had not lost it before, I would never have recovered it or taken it back.\" Fabius, who was very capable in both war and peace, was then consul and had a colleague named Carinus, who did not exercise his office but still resisted as much as he could against the enterprise of Gaius Flamminus, who attacked at that time. that time was the tribune of the people of Rome, who opposed the authority of the senators of Rome, and divided by single parties an inheritance called the Terraner Picentinus and the Terraner Galatus. And yet, Fabius, of the noble and office called Anguria, which was a divinity in Rome, was a man who persuaded people to that science which determined and knew things to come by the chiming and by the song and by the countenance of the birds and birds of the air. Nevertheless, he had the boldness to say that all things which were made for the salvation and welfare of the common profit, called Res publica, were made by right divine providence. But the things made or said against the common profit were made or said against the sentiments of wise men of Auspices, that is, against the divine judgments and omens, which were made by the sentiments of birds and birds of omen. I have known that in this man were many things of right noble disposition, which I do not tell. knowe nothyng more merueil\u2223lous for to say thanne is to telle how ffabyus susteyned & enduryd withoute mournyng & wepyng the deth of his sone Marius which\u0304 was a noble man & wylome consul of rome We haue clerely & in a parte declarid the praysyng of the olde ffabius of which\u0304 whan we rede his praysyng we fynde but fewe philosophers lyke hym but me owghte\nto disprayse them to the regarde of Fabius and it is cer\u2223tayne that he was not onely to be recomended in grete de\u2223dys of pryse that he did outward & in the presence of the Cytezeyns of Rome But he was better & gretter within forth / that is to witt in good condicions & within his sowle / I may not sey ynough\u0304 what was the speche & wor\u2223dys nor what were the commandementes of the olde Fa\u2223byus nor what was the knowleche that he had of the dee\u00a6dys & of the sayengys of the olde tyme I may not also saye ynowgh\u0304 how moche he knewe of the arte & scyences of dyuynyng & determiinacion of fortunes to come good or ylle in tyme of peas & of werre by the flygh\u0304t or by the Charming or by the countenance of the foulies and bridles of the year, and yet had also fabulous science and wit enough, in the manner that the Romans had used at that time. This fabulous one conceived and received in his mind not only the Roman battles but also remembered strange battles. I spoke as earnestly with him as I could devise at that time. The same thing happened to him after he died, that is, I would have had no Roman man from whom I could learn in works and teachings such as he had. It is not necessary to say so many things to the praising and fame of the said fabulous one. For certainly, you see well by what I have said that it is untruthful and a vice to say that old age is wretched, miserable, or noisy. So it was not the case with the old fabulous one. Nevertheless, it is certain that not all men can be such as were the Scipios and Fabians, nor can all men be such as they might. Some record and rehearse the cities they have fought with and conquered in the battles they have made in various lands and realms, and also by navy in the sea. Not all men, however, may be such that they can record or say the victorious deeds and triumphs which they have had in their lives, like the worthy Scipions and the noble Fabians, who were noble Romans and virtuous in themselves. For instance, some old men in times past might have lived peacefully and cleanly in governance, and yet their old age is pleasant and sweet, as we hear from histories. Some old age may be pleasant and sweet, however it may be that the preceding life had still been pure and soft without war or so noisy as we hear in histories. How was the old age of Socrates the philosopher, who is said to have written in the following centuries? Socrates was forty-nine when he wrote a book called Penatheticus, in which he taught men to despise death. After completing the book, he became a disciple of a philosopher named Gorgias, who was one hundred and seventeen years old. Gorgias, Socrates' master, never ceased in his studies and was always busy and occupied. It happened then that men asked him why he wanted to live so long. He answered, \"I have not accused nor blamed my old age. Certainly, this answer was nobly spoken and worthy of a wise man.\" The fools would say in contrast to this answer of philosopher Gorgias, for the fools put the blame for their vices and defects on old age itself. Ennis, the poet whom we have recently mentioned, is compared to an old, strong and victorious horse that has often outpaced other horses in racing, but now rests and labors no more. This comparison holds true for Ennis in his old age. Ennis is like this old, strong horse.\n\nEnnis died when Titus Flaminius and Marcus Attilius were made consuls of Rome for the second time, when I, who was sixty-five years old, spoke and pleaded before the senators of Rome for the law that made me one of Rome's wise men. I upheld and sustained this law through persuasions and valid reasons when Ennis was sixty-ten years old, as he lived. The poet Ennis, being old as I have said, suffered and endured two great burdens, which men regard and accept as great: poverty and old age. It seems that Ennis took great delight in these. Here ends the first part of this book, which begins the dispute of Duke Cato and the cause of why old age seems wretched and miserable. In this distinction, Cato confutes and abashes Scipio and Lelius for the first fault they commit against old age. And Cato begins in Latin: \"Etenim cum complector animo. I find four causes...\" Scipio speaks for himself and for Lelius.\n\nWhen I, Scipio, consider carefully in my mind, I find that there are only four causes why old age seems wretched and miserable to men. The first cause is that men are taken away from old men's administrations and governance of things. Reason why old age requires labor and work of bodily strength, or adversity and lack of wit and understanding. The second reason is due to old age making men weak, forgetful, and feeble. The third reason is because old age takes away from men all natural delights and pleasures, including sensualities, in having children. The fourth reason is because the old man, according to nature, is not far from death.\n\nCato responds: Now tell me, if it pleases you, how great and just are each of these four causes that men oppose to old age. First, explain to me how you understand that old age takes away and removes from men the governance and administration of things concerning bodily occupations of strength and business. And if this is so, tell me of what things men take away and remove from men due to old age, and you will perhaps answer me that men withdraw and remove from men by reason of old age the administration and governance of the things that men take in youth by bodily strength. And that time. When the body is in strength and wisdom, do you not think of Scipio and Laelius that old men have some things and works which they may and can administer in their age? And do you not think that there are things which men can make and administer through the counsel of old men? But suppose they have weak and sickly bodies. Say you then, Scipio, that this old man Fabius did nothing beneficial to the government and the administration of the common profit of Rome? Say you also that your father Lucius Paulus contributed nothing for the welfare of Rome, of whom your son Young Cato had married the daughter. Say you also that these other old men called Fabricius and the Curii and the Cornelian clan did nothing when they defended and saved the common profit of our city of Rome with their counsel and authority. There was at Rome an old and blind priest named Appius, who served in the temple of Minerva, or otherwise called Pallas, whose priesthood he held. And it happened that at that time Pirrus, king of Epirites, made war against Rome. The senators were inclined and agreed to make peace and an alliance with King Pirrus, despite Appius being an old and blind man. Appius, however, did not hesitate to speak the words which Ennis had put in verses. The following is a part of the sentence:\n\nWhy did you, senators, incline and reveal your courageous hearts, which until now have been accustomed to be distant and steadfast? Are you mad or lacking in discretion, agreeing to condescend and desire to make an alliance and peace with King Pirrus, because he puts forth strength to put you down and intends to destroy you? And other things he said rightly and gravely he rebuked them. Full old Appius said to the senators, and yet you know that Ennis composed the verses that I have here cited and said by which he reproaches you. Scipion and Lelyus have seen the reason why Appius, old and blind, brought up this matter before the senators seventeen years after he had been consul for the second time, although there were ten years between their first and second consulships. Therefore, it is understandable that during the battle of King Pirrus, the old Appius, who was then seventy-eight years old, organized a great host against him, which was defeated by the Romans, a most marvelous feat. Our ancient fathers have told us this. They proved nothing and dared not oppose the counsel of old age, which says that they cannot or should not interfere in anything. Those who say so are like those who, in a ship sailing on the sea, call the sailor, who keeps the rudder or stern of the ship, the patron or master. The ship's captain does nothing but attend to matters only because some young men climb on the mast, some men draw up the anchors, some young men truss up the sails, and some other young pumpers draw water out of the ship's hammer, and also as you can see, the patron or master/loader, who holds and keeps the rudder of the ship which rests and sits at the end of the ship and takes charge of the helm and compass to know the direct course of the ship, does not engage in the bodily labor that belongs to young men to do, but all the charge and welfare of the ship's cargo and men's lives lies in the wit and discretion of the old man who is the patron master or loader of the ship. For these reasons, I answer you, he does greater and better things than young men, as he counsels, orders, and oversees the most chargeable tasks. body and delivery, nor by brightness of body, but they are made by counsel, authority, and the ordinances of great wit and high discretion. Old age is better provided and stocked with such things than any other age, and they do not lose their time. But perhaps you will reply to me, because it seems to you that now I do nothing, and that I was wont to exercise and occupy myself in war and deeds of arms in various battles for the defense against the adversaries of Rome. And now I may wage war no more. I, who was once exercised in the office of a knight, occupied in battle and arms, another time using the office of tribune, another the office of an ambassador or a begat, and another time sitting as consul, answer you that I always do something for the profit of Rome. Before the time I order and devise to the senators the things that are most expedient to be done for the honor of you all. I denounce and make it known to the senators and Romans long before the time of necessity, by what means we Romans may resist against the land of Carthage, our great enemies, who have been most evil and maliciously disposed for a long time to make battle and mortal war against our city. Therefore, know, Scipio, that I will not delay in making orders and provisions for our defense, so that the Romans shall not fear nor doubt the power of the city of Carthage, until I know that it has been utterly destroyed by the victory of battle, which battle I desire the immortal gods to grant in such a way that you, Scipio, pursue the destruction of the remaining enemies left living of our Ancient Enemies. Quintus Fabius, whose triumph and worship will be remembered in all the following years, died thirty-four years ago in the city of Carthage. But he was such a man that there would always be a memory and reverence of his triumph. \"Grantsyre Quintus died the same year I was made judge at Rome. And nine years after I was made consul, your Grauntsire Quintus was made consul after the end of my consulship. If he had lived to a C. year, he would never have been discouraged or weary of his old age, for it was so profitable and honorable to him. However, he had given up the use and manner of military deeds, in which young knights prove and test themselves, that is, running lightly, far jumping, and justicing with spears and fighting mightily with axes and naked swords. Nevertheless, he would have ordered these said occupations to be practiced and the common profit to be studied by counsel, through reason and moderate deliberation. These things, which would have been beneficial for old men, experienced as they are, our ancient fathers would never have called the sovereign council of the city 'discouraged' or 'weary' if they were in charge.\" The wise Senate, signifying a council of old men from ancient Rome and Sparta, as well as other ancient Greek cities, once held great power in their dominions. They called upon old men among them for the sovereign dignity and greatest office. In such dignities or offices, they only appointed old men of knowledge, science, and craft. In the old histories of philosophers, you will find that great nations, as well as our own, which were highly esteemed and worshipped, have been diminished and destroyed by the governance of young men in adolescence and youth. However, after they had been sustained and reformed in their original state by the advice and governance of old men, they prospered in great worship and felicity, as they had done before. Tell me, Scipio and Laelius, how you have lost your common prosperity, which was great and rich? I ask this question on behalf of those who play the game. persons in the companies of players of sun and amusements,/ where Nennius the poet made a dialogue of two persons who had lost a great and rich patrimony of their inheritance. It was questioned in a similar way, as I do, and to other demands, men answered otherwise to matters not specified here. But the principal answer of the poet Nennius was this:\n\nTo this governance of your common profit, in reality brought to nothing, came many new young masters ignorant and unskilled in the laws. Both young apprentice attorneys who presumed to be more knowing in the laws than they were, and fools of young age,/ And therefore you lost that rich patrimony and inheritance through outrageous governance and foolish deeds,/ and for lack of discretion by the nature and kind of young age. Prudence and good advice of great discernment are the properties and nature of old age. Scipio opposes this and says to Cato, but for all that, in old age is another lack or a default. For in old age, the mind and memory of things that men knew in their youth are lessened. Caton answers, I believe Scipion that the mind of an aged man is less. But if he exercises and occupies it in remembering the things he knew before, and also it lessens more his good memory if he is born a fool, or if naturally he is so evil of complexion or if he is hurt in that part of the head where lies the virtuous memory called remembrance. A nobleman of Athens named Themistocles had in his mind all the names of the citizens of Athens. Then, when Themistocles became old, did he wish to leave the great and worshipful Lysimachus, an old citizen of Athens, in place of Aristides another old citizen of Athenes? No, for Themistocles exercised his mind in recording and remembering the things he knew in his youth. I myself have known not only Lysimachus and Aristides, but I have known their fathers and grandfathers. And in the meantime, as I read the epitaphs inscribed on scriptures' tombs, I have no doubt that I do not forget the remembrance of their names. For, in reading their epitaphs, the men deceased come to mind once again. Moreover, I show you by experience that if the human mind is exercised in old age, it does not weaken. I have never heard of any old man, regardless of who he may be, forgetting where he hid and concealed his treasure. Old men remember the wages, fees, and pensions assigned to them, as well as those assigned to their counselors and servants. They remember the names of their creditors to whom they owe, and the debts and goods owed to them. Old men remember many and diverse things of great weight and charge, for they remember the laws that wise men have made concerning cases. Completed that have come and ordered among them. Old men remember the right and constitutions and ordinances which, by the byshops, have been made for the service of the gods. They also remember well how the angries that are divine do and should determine and pronounce upon the divine signs and things that are to come. And also they bring to mind what opinions had the philosophers in determining the causes of natural and moral things. For if there is any doubt or debate about any thing belonging to the governance of the world, men go only to the mind of experience and remembrance of old men. In the wits of whom is most natural virtue of ghostly force and strength of the soul which abides still with old men. So that the study and industry abides holy with them. That is to say, that men, notwithstanding their old age, yet they abide wise and subtle in their imaginations and good conceits. So that they apply their courage to. And they have wisdom and perseverance in the same. Know ye Scipio and Lelius that the wits and good memories do not only abide in old men of noble degree and high estate, who have honorable and worshipful offices, but also in other old men, who have never administered the common profit but only their own proper goods and precious things belonging to them, such as household keeping and merchandising or other honest occupations using.\n\nAnd the poet Sophocles, to his great old age, made in verses diverse and many tragedies, in which he wrote the evil and abominable deeds of the kings and princes of the world. It seemed to his children, because he was intent on his books to study, that he was negligent in governing his own proper goods and things. And therefore they brought him before the judges, as it is customary. After the law of Rome forbade those who did not profitably approve of it or did not well their occupation and works, the judges of Greece sought to take away from Sophocles as a fool and negligent in the governance of his own property and household. Then the old man Sophocles began to recite and say before the affable judges of a tragedy called \"Oedipus Colonus,\" that is, of a sad and lamentable chronicle which he had ready in his hands and had not written long before. After he had presented and declared his tragedy, he questioned the judges why it seemed to them that he was a fool who made such verses and such a ditty of a substantial process. Then, by the sentence of the judges, he was absolved and discharged of the accusation of his children. Tell me then, Scipion and Lelyus, if old age constrains a man to be changed or to be deprived to cease from his. studyes / thise foure noble poetys Sophocles Esyodus Simonides and Tersytorus / he answerd nay / Telle me also yf the olde age constrayned them to be chaunged or for to seace in their studyes thies two philosophers Socrates and Gorgias of whom we haue spoken here a / fore and Omer the poete Pytagoras and demacritus Platon and Exenocrates / And aftir this zenon Celantes & that worthy Dyogines the whiche namely ye haue seen at rome whiche vij haue bee & ben prynces of philosophers callid Souerayne wise men / forsoth olde age made them neuir to be chaunged nor to sece in their studye of bookys redyng / see ye not / that in alle thies poetys and philoso\u2223phers lyues the frequentacion & excercise of their studyes hath be lyke to the tyme of alle their lyfdayes / ffor they haue studyed by as long tyme as they haue lyued / si\u2223then that they had be of reason / But leue we to speke of thies studyes of philosophers and of poetrye whiche\nben dyuyne sciences / and come we to speke of the artys of the vij sciences and of The craftsmen that men made by labor of body, I may name some old Roman neighbors and familiar friends of mine from the ground of Fabens, who work so fast and so well that their works are never greater or better than when they are present, be it in sowing corn and grafting trees or in gathering the fruits and putting them in the barns. It is more marvelous that these old men, who have hope to live but a while, labor so greatly in sowing corn of various grains in planting and setting trees to bring forth various kinds of fruits, and also in gathering them again, and in laying up such provisions and things necessary to live with all. Howbeit, in other men who hope and trust to live long by them, it is less marvelous to labor so greatly in such businesses. But you may say that these old men labor so fast because the use of their labors rejoices them greatly, for they say so there. is no man so old that he thinks he may live another year; Scipion and Lelius, as you say, that is somewhat true. But old Caton answers, men labor in things that do not belong to them, nor will they belong to anyone in any way. For this reason, old men plant trees and graft vines to bear fruits of various kinds, not for themselves but for men who will come after them and not for themselves alone, as Stacy, an author of our city, says in a book of his called Sinophedus, where he speaks of the age of men or when they have borne children. The laborer, he says, how can it be that he thinks he is old? He can well answer him who asks and demands of him for whom and to whom he plants and grafts the trees. I plant them, he says, for the gods Immortal, not for me nor for those older than I in age, who will soon die. That is to understand, I plant trees for men and build castles. townys and houses for the dwellers of creatures born after my decease, and I set and graff these trees to the service and profit of the gods, who alone would not have allowed me to receive these trees from my predecessors, but the gods would have that I give them to those who come after me, as previously declared and said. Scipion and Lelyus, in addition, Caton speaks the philosopher Cicero better than the laborer you speak of, concerning an old man who thought he would still live for a great age. By god, said he, old age, if you should not bring any other vice or any other defect of felicity and blessedness when you come to them, yet you bring a vice and a defect, which is sufficient to the discomfort and misery and unhappiness that is to wit, that in living long time the man sees many things which he would not see, and also he sees many things which he greatly desires to see for his own sake. Singler in joy and pleasure, and it is true that a man in adolescence, of young green age, falls often in things displeasing, and such that he would that he had not seen them. Scipion and Lelius opposing, Caton the philosopher Cecilius said of old age, \"A thing is no more vile and loathsome than the same which he sees here before.\" I hold he spoke of the most wretched thing of all things that men may feel and perceive in old age: how an old man is hateful and loathsome to any man, be it also of an old man or of any other age. Caton answers you that the old man is not hateful to another, but is glad and amiable. For the old wise man has delight in adolescence and in young men, who have in them some tokens of resemblance and showing to be good and worthy of noble courage in time. Old age is softer and more joyous when old men are haunted and loved by young men. Young men and adolescents. I have young men, Scipion and Lelyus, to receive the commands and teachings of the old, by which young men are introduced and informed about the study of virtues and good works that make their old age joyful and amiable towards the world. I understand that you, young men, are glad and loving towards me. Therefore, I shall say no more about this matter. For you see and understand well that old age is not more languishing, seeking, or slothful than other ages. Rather, old age always works and labors, doing and making ready something. That is, it does what it did and exercised in the preceding ages. If you ask me what old age does, I answer that old men learn something new that they did not know. As we learn from history, Solon, one of the seven wise men of Athens, who were called philosophers after their deaths, glorified him for having learned in his old age the art of making verses in meter according to the measure of time. I have learned the Greek letters and language so that I might understand Greek history, as I have said, with the same willingness and desire as one who thirstily and abundantly drinks from a cup to quench his thirst. And you should know that I have learned the letters and the Greek language for this reason. I have heard it said that the Greek philosopher Socrates, in his old age, learned to play musical instruments with strings, such as the harp and lyre and other instruments of music. Moved by this, I, too, decided to learn to play musical instruments, just as I learned the letters and the Greek language, for the ancient noble philosophers, in order to find comfort and solace in old age, learned to play musical instruments with strings. Therefore, I put my study and labor into learning and mastering this skill. I know the language and the letters of Greece in my great age. Here ends the second part and the first distinction of the book of old age. After this begins the third part and the second distinction, in which Cato answers, confutes, and reproves those of the second defect of ugliness opposed to old age. In the name of the four causes mentioned above, I will show you how and in what way old age seems unpleasant and wretched. The second distinction contained the cause why old age seems unsightly and wretched, that is, because it makes the body sick and frail. I answer you, Scipio and Lelius, that I no longer desire to have the strength of an adolescent young man now that I have become an old man. I desired it no less when I was a young man than I do now to have the strength of a bull or an elephant. A man ought to use in every age that which nature gives him, and it also belongs to you to do all things. after the measure and after the quantity of your own proper strength, and not to surpass and take on greater things than you may not or have no power to execute, for it may not be said anything more abominable or more spiteful words than those which were said of a champion called Milo, who was from Croton, a city of Greece. Milo, being old as he saw the mighty champions and wrestlers who proved and assayed their strengths by various means in the common place designated for such trials, looked upon his arms and said with weeping tears, \"alas, these arms and these sides are dead.\" But I tell Milo that\nyour arms and your sides, for whom you weep, are not so dead as you are yourself, which is but a Jaipur, both feigning and feeble. And truly, you were never reputed noble for any wisdom or for any virtue of your own might and courage, but you have been worshipped and set much by for your strong arms and for your strong. Side when you wrestled against other men, this Milo, a man of little reputation for any wisdom he had, but for the strength of his sides and the robustness of his bones and sinews. Milo, from his adolescent young age, was accustomed and used to bearing upon his shoulders a young and little calf. After it grew and became a great and huge ox, Milo, due to his custom and use, bore it without it being anything burdensome to him. After he had grown and become an ox, heavy, great, and huge. The old Emilius, who was consul at Rome six times, never yearned for the strength of his youth like Milo of Croton. Nor did Titus Cornutatus, who was born many years before the aforementioned Emilius. Nor did the old man Publius Crassus, who, along with these three, as consuls, established the civil law for the citizens of Rome to observe and govern the cities and the people. Of these three old men. Men whose wisdom increased and continued to the last spirit of their lives; Scipio asked a question and inquired if an old, gray-haired man, be he an orator or a pleader, that is, an advocate, learning the law for administration of justice, should doubt that he might err or fail in damaging or asking his reasons due to the fault of voice and matters suitable and necessary in proposing and uttering before a judge. For indeed, the office of an advocate is not only in clarity and subtlety of wit, but he must have in proposing his matters and in declaring both in good reasons of eloquence and wit a demure countenance and bodily strength to speak courageously and wisely, and also temperately, according to the requirements of the causes of the matters. If the matter is comfortable, then propose it with a joyful spirit; and if the matter is dolorous, lamentable, and pitiful, then propose and declare it with lamentable speech and soft countenance.\n\nCato replied and said that: voice which is tempered soft and demure, of sweet eloquent speech, purposed for one who has been exercised in the art of oratory, learned in his youth. It shines and flourishes perfectly in the man when he has reached old age, a thing so singular that I do not know its cause, but as a virtue given to him. And as you know, I have not lost the voice of sweet eloquence, both acceptable and favorable. Yet you see that I am 77 years of age. But nevertheless, if you wish to know why the voice that is soft and demure shows acceptance in the mouth of old men, I will tell you that the speech of the old man, if it is courteously, pleasantly, and temperately uttered, the wit and the sweet language of the wise old man often makes him have great audience and favor from the hearers. And if you, who are old, have perhaps some reason, long or hard to pronounce or plead which you cannot accomplish and fulfill in a quick time, nevertheless you may. honestly comau\u0304\u00a6de to such yong men as ben Scipion & Lelius / that they vttir & speke for the / & the aged mans office is to mynis\u00a6tre his sage counseill by his instruction to the yong ora\u2223tours studyeng the lawes / wherby he may the more sadly\u00a6er grounde his maters to a good conclusion by his grete wisedom / for ther is nothyng more ioyfull to studie\u0304tys ler\u00a6ners than is olde aged men approued / in connyng which be acco\u0304panyed / & felisshippid as amonges yong men which haue appetite & courage to studye & lernyng / for to obeye to the comaundementys of olde men / And we olde men le\u2223ue som thynges which we myght wele doo aftir the stre\u0304ght of our yeris to thentente by cause that yong men ben by vs taught & enfourmed / for to excercise & for to doo all honorable office by / There is no worke nor occupacion more noble & more comendable than that by the which ol\u00a6de men teche yong men to excercise & to doo all honorable of\u00a6fice / And certaynly me thought whilom that thies v\u00a6noble olde men of worship / Gilyus Publius and the two Scipions, Lucius Emilius, and Publius Africanus were blessed and fortunate when they were in the company of the noble young Roman men, who took examples of virtues from these old men. I ought to think that all old men are blessed and fortunate who are masters and teachers of good conditions, great wisdoms, and profitable sciences. Nevertheless, natural strengths often lack and fail in old age, but this lack comes more often from the vices and outrages of young age than from the vices of old age. For the age of adolescence is outraged and evil disposed, and intemperate, yielding and causing the body to be feeble and unhealthy in old age. For, as King Cyrus of Persia confessed at the time of his death, he felt no more that he was in any way become old due to old age than he did in adolescence, as his historian relates. I remember that when I was a child, I saw an old man named Lucius Callidius Marcellus, who had been the chief bishop of Rome for four years after having been consul twice. He was healthy and vigorous in understanding during that dignity of sovereign bishopship for twenty-two years, and he lived until the last age, neither requiring nor desiring to return to the state and age of adolescence. It is not necessary for me to say anything about myself. This book that we are making is the work and process of recommending old age, which pertains to our age, that is, the old men, as those from whom we have spoken. You may also see how Nestor, one of the kings of Greece, taught and displayed his wisdoms and virtues in a book that Homer the poet made about the battle of Troy. At that time, when he preached and taught his virtues, Nestor was then in the third age of man, for he was upon an age. The text reads: \"hundreds of years and yet he made no doubt but in recommending himself, he seemed full arrogant and autocratic, and nevertheless he recommends not only himself but the poet Omer. He praises also the great virtues of the said Omer, for certainly said Omer of the tongue of old King Nestor spoke and dropped a language sweeter than honey. And to speak of his sweetness of language, the said king neither did, of the strength of his body, and nevertheless King Agamemnon, duke and leader of the battle of Greece against the Trojans, never asked or required of the immortal gods that he might have x such knights as was the young Ajax, so that Agamemnon asked and required of the gods that he might have vj such old men as were that king Nestor. And Agamemnon said that if he might have vj such old men, he doubted not but within short time Troy would be taken and destroyed. But leaving to speak of myself, who am of the age of fourscore and four years, \" And indeed I would like to magnify and boast about the same thing that Cyrus, king of Persia, glorifies and boasts about, saying of himself that he never felt or perceived that he in any way became weak due to old age, no more than he was in his adolescence. But truly I say this of myself, that now I am not of such strength as I was at that time when I was a knight in the Battle of Punic in Africa or at that time when I was consul in Spain, or four years after that when I was tribune of the Roman knights and fought nightlong against the mountains called Thermopylae that separate Persians from the Greeks, and at that time when Marcus Atilius Regulus was consul. But as you see, Scipio and Laelius; old age has not entirely enfeebled me or wasted my body, and also you see that the court and the parliament of the senators ask for nor desire my bodily strength, but only to counsel the things and public causes, for the common profit. I am concerned for the common welfare of the city, it does not require me to be strong in body but only that I be prudent and temperate, just and strong in courage. The audiences of the judges, which I occupy and exercise, do not demand that I be strong in body, nor do my friends or servants, nor those who inhabit and hold my house. They do not ask for great strength from me, for I can do my duty to speed them without it. And know, Scipio, that I have never consented to the old proverb, \"many men prosper and come together,\" which implies that one will be old hastily if one wishes to be old, but I would rather be not older than I am or will be, by natural age. And truly, there is no man who could yet take or say anything against me concerning how I have been occupied and have been called old, or I should have it according to the course of nature, and it is true that I have less strength of body. Only one of you two / And neither of you two has the strength of this captain Roman Titus Poncius. Yet it is not therefore stronger in virtue because any man ought to be reputed and accounted strong. It suffices only that in him is temperance of strength, that is, he undertakes not the thing which he cannot perform. And also it is necessary that every man endeavors himself and puts himself in the way to begin that thing which he can perform, and if every man tempers and moderates his strength as I have said, he shall have great desire and pleasure in his strength, as I will show you by the following example:\n\nThe worthy knight Hercules and also the men of Greece organized, from four to four years in the mountain of Olympus, the highest in the world, justifying contests and wrestling matches in the worship of their god Jupiter. Then it happened that a champion named Milo of Croton won. came into the circus where men performed plays. He carried a beef called an ox on his shoulders for a hundred paces. I asked Scipio which strength he would rather have, that of the philosopher Pythagoras or Milo's. Finally, I tell you what use there is of bodily strength, one of nature's good things, in the meantime when you have it. But when the goods of bodily strength are no more, then you should not desire nor ask for it, nor can you say that adolescents in the third age ought to desire and ask for the age of puberty, which is the second age, and thus they are the fourth from death. Therefore, I tell Scipio that when men have entered and come within adolescence, which is a fruitful and profitable age, they should require it and ask for it, and not childhood called boyhood, which is without advantage and profit. The course and way of age is certain and determined by nature, which has only one way that is simple and nothing different in one than in the other. But each goes by that simple and determined way according to the degrees in their course from one age to another. Nature has given to every part of age its own proper son and time, and its own characteristic behavior in kind. That is to say, sickness and malady are proper to the age of childhood, and cruelty is appropriate to the age of youth. Worshipfulness and sadness of manners are appropriate to the age of virility, which is the fifth age. Moderation and temperance are appropriate to old age. Each should have something natural and appropriate to that, which may be gathered in his time. I would like to tell you, Scipio, about an old king of Africa, Masimissus, who was our enemy, and also about Lelyus, his companion. When you, Scipio,\n\n(Note: The text appears to be in Middle English. No significant OCR errors were detected, so no corrections were made.) This man, Siphar, the king of Munyde, at the age of twenty-four, began to walk on foot; he would not skip on horseback, and when he rode on horseback, he would not dismount during the entire journey. He was never compelled to lower his head for any rain or wind, no matter how cold it was. This old Siphar possessed a sovereign dryness and leanness within him, and he fulfilled and maintained all sovereign offices and all nobleness, contributing to a noble court and to royal power. That is, he was a treasurer, a controller, and a steward, or a master in a king's or prince's court. By this, it is clear that the exercise, frequentation, and acclimation that a man maintains in his youth can preserve some part of the ancient strength that was previously in the body. Some may object that in old age there is no strength, and I answer that there is no old man who askith the old to lend strength or perform works done by strength. This reveals that, according to civil law and ancient customs through statutes, our old age ought to be engaged, occupied, and involved with public offices of dignitaries or privates. Thus, we old men are not only free to do what we may not, nor are we unnecessarily constrained to do as much as we might, but Scipion, you might argue against old age, that some old men are so feeble they should not execute nor perform any public office of dignity or private service to their living. I answer that this vice is not peculiar to old age but is a common vice of sickness and lack of power or weakness of the body. Consider, Scipion, how feeble Publius Africanus' son was, who raised him up and adopted him as his son. Consider how little: Sykenesse he was enfebled, which had not come upon him, he would have been the second named in prowesse and repute in acts of martial causes after the noble Fabius, the son of Publius. He surpassed his father in renown by Justice, righteousness, and science, of which he had the more in his courage to minimize and exercise. There is no marvel if old men are sometimes weak and feeble. It was so that those of adolescent age, and especially young men, cannot escape sickness of the body. Therefore, I tell you, Scipio and Leius, that men must resist old age because they might escape and put away dissolution, sloth, and idleness through diligent labor and study. And men must likewise, through exercise and study, fight against old age because it does not fall through vicious living, like provisions and remedies for good diet. Men in old age must possess such conduct, guidance, and measure. Old men should engage in moderate labor, as is customary for them. Therefore, it should be advised that old men use small and light exercises and tempered labors. It should also be counseled that old men eat and drink light and easily digestible foods, so that their strength and bodily virtues are replenished and sustained, rather than obstructed by surfeits of heavy foods or excessive drinking. This is essential for the soul's thoughts and passions, as well as for the courage of old men. For the thought, which is the mind of man and the courage of the heart, where wisdom resides, ceases and fails if not supported with such comforting things. Just as the light of a lamp quenches and dies, but men add oil to keep it burning, so the thoughts and courage of old men, where wisdom resides, cease and fail if not supported with such comforting things. Please find here the pleasant and comfortable exercises of merry communication, as recorded and ready for reading the books of virtue, and profiting in chronicles and histories of their noble predecessors, bringing them again to more perfect remembrance after men have read them. It is certain that, just as their bodies have grown weary and tired from labor and pain, so their courage is sustained and relieved by the exercise of study and memory keeping.\n\nFor when Cecilius the poet says in a merry book of his, \"Old men are called fools or idiots otherwise,\" he means that old men, without the exercise of reading or hearing good histories, are easily disposed to believe all things or tales that they hear, whether they are not profitable to them, because they have no meaning in them, and are furthermore forgetful due to the repetition of cold and phlegmatic humors, and more so because they have not exercised the virtue of remembrance in their age. And they were noisy and dangerous, lacking moderation and temperance due to weakness of complexion, disposed more to sickness than they were in youth. These three sicknesses do not come to a man due to old age, but they are the vices of old negligent age, such as sloth and sleep.\n\nAs for wantonness and fleshly delight, it is more the vice of young men than of old men, and wantonness is not only the vice of adolescent men but of evil-disposed adolescent persons and such old fools whom we call misrule or sots at certain seasons, which condition comes to some old men who were light of courage in their youth and not stable in wisdom or study. Appius, whom I have spoken of before, was a worthy priest of the temple of the gods of Minerva. He, being blind and old, governed his four sons, who were fully grown. This man, Appius, had five daughters and a large household, maintaining it with only his own help and counsel, save for himself. Appius lent his courage to wisdom and good memory, and even when his bodily strength failed, he was never submissive to old age. Instead, he devoted himself to studying and public affairs, offering good advice and counsel to those who ruled and governed. Appius, old and blind, held sovereign rule and dominion over his subjects and servants, for they held him in reverence and feared his power. His children obeyed him, and all who approached him did so with great worship and favor. Appius was a vigorous man, given to great watchfulness, as was his father. He also practiced the doctrine of his teachings.\n\nTherefore, I tell you, Scipio and Lelius, that the old man is to be respected. Please and with honesty be revered, so that he defends himself with the yield and treasures of memory through study and examples, authoritative reference, and the other weapons of virtues living and sciences. Old age is honorable if it holds and keeps its divine law, by which it is withdrawn from vanity and withdraws from taking itself to vices if it is well prepared and supported in its truth and complexion, by which it lives after temperance and reason. The old man is honorable and good if he governs and educates his children and servants until the last end of his life according to his authority and power. Furthermore, I approve and praise the adolescent man who has something in common with old age, such as temperance and sobriety. I also commend and praise the old man who has something in common with youth, such as some strength of body and constancy of good courage. The man who follows this, which I have above. I, Cato, though old in body, shall never be old in courage, exercising good deeds. I, Cato, who am old, now hold in my hands the seventh book, in which I treat the births of ancient renowned people of Italy. In this book, I gather all recordable processes of every noble cause that I have purposed and studied, to please by advocacy before the senators and other judges of Rome. I, as a servant of the law or the king's promoter or speaker of his parliament or attorney general, or an apprentice of court, declare and plead matters committed to me in these causes. I compile and make now orations, propositions, and pleas, by which I show the form and manner to you to propose and plead hereafter in demanding and asking right and justice to be ministered or in defending a wrong, supposed in criminal and civil imperial causes, which is the common law in Rome used. I, Cato, who am old, now compile a divine. I teach how and by what cause men should make arguments, using the writings of philosophers and clerics, specifically divinations, to know the doubtful and uncertain, present and future. I use examples such as constellations, conjunctions and aspects of the seven planets, as well as eclipses of the sun and moon. I also treat the right law of civil causes and the ordinances of high dignity for bishops and priests, explaining how and in what way they should be deputed and ordained, serving the great gods in the temple. In making these things, I make extensive use of the books of Greek philosophers. I also use their methods. The disciples of philosopher Pythagoras were instructed to exercise their minds of remembrance. For six years, the ministers and scholars of Pythagoras learned the arguments and the speculative science of various crafts. Afterward, for another five years, they studied his doctrine without spoken instruction but through contemplative practice of the seven sciences they had learned from their master before. Ten years after that, they were granted the ability and license to instruct other scholars and students. I record and remember all that I have said, all that I have heard, and all that I have done the day preceding. Such were the exercises and works of my wit and thought while I labored in the aforementioned matters. Therefore, I do not desire much strength of body alone, but I am ready to my friends if they need me. I come to the senators and parliament. To open courts accompanied by the fellowship of my brothers and friends, I bring with me such matters and processes that I have long pondered. I defend my processes and matters and also affirm the process as the causes require before the senators. Not by the strength of my body but by the power and strength of my wits and the courage of my heart - that is, by counsel, deliberation, authority, and wisdom. And if I should not be able to execute or bring to a due end the matters and processes of my own or of my friends, nevertheless, in lying and resting in my bed, I would delight and enjoy myself in thinking about these things. However, I that should not be able to speed it up inconveniently, but I have so determined myself and lived in the past that I might both speed in doing my own process and also those of my friends' matters before the senators and other officers of justice publicly within a reasonable time. Therefore, he who lives and endures in such a manner. Studies and in such labors always, as I have lived, he may not understand nor feel within himself what time old age does so to him. And by that understanding of his age, little by little it grows old without his being able to perceive or feel it. Therefore, his age is neither burdened nor broken suddenly by old age, but it weakens and fails by the length of time or his knowledge of it.\n\nHere ends the third part and the second distinction, and after begins the fourth part, in which our Caton answers and confutes the third vituperation of defect opposed to old age, and begins in Latin: \"Sequitur Tercia distinctio,\" &c.\n\nAfter the aforementioned two reproaches and defects alleged and opposed against old age, now follow the three vituperations and defect by which young men say that old age is noisy, frightening, and wretched, because it has almost no fleshly delights or sensualities, as for example, in getting children and issue to increase and multiply the world. To whom I answer, it is fitting that a noble gift be rewarded and the great honor of old age be sequestered, deprived, and discharged of the delights of sensuality or fleshly lusts. If old age is sequestered from such delights, it would take away from us old men what is rightfully vicious and foul in the age of adolescence and youth.\n\nNevertheless, my dear and loving young men, Scipion and Lelius, an ancient senator posed an oration that a philosopher named Archites made. This oration was taken from Hannibal, duke of Carthage, when he was in Italy. He was recovered by Quintus Fabius, the noble senator, when he recaptured Tarentum, which had been taken by Hannibal. Archites was primarily a great man, learned in sciences and virtues, and was very famous and noble. This oration, which Archites made, was given to me when I was adolescent and young, staying in Tarentum with the said Fabius. and by this oration said Archites that nature which ordained to men complexions / gave never a pestilence or pain more damaging to young men than is fleshly delight, the covetous plays of delight moan and steer men boldly and without bridle of reason or shame or any restraint to execute and make an end of their foul lusts, for delight's sake, delights have been made and conspired treasons, divisions, and discord of countries, and the common profit's destruction, and the secrets of parliaments disclosed to our enemies and adversary party, there is none uninvolved, there is none evil work but pleasure of delight which shall constrain men to incline thereto, because they enjoy out of measure of chastity, breaking and that so fiercely, The cause of defiling of maidens, virgins, the wantonness of married women, and all such corrupt and vile works, which are never mediated nor undertaken but by the insolence and wantonness and lewdness of fleshly desire. Delight/ Archites also said that, as nature, by the power which God has given to men, nothing is superior to the soul by which they have understanding and mind. So too is the soul, an office and divine gift, nothing so great an enemy or contrary as carnal delight/ for since delight and carnal pleasure have dominion in the realm of man, that is, in the courage of his body, the virtue of temperance cannot be lodged therein, and in the realm of man which is given to delight, wisdom and virtue cannot abide. Therefore, Archites wished that someone should imagine in his courage and conceive that someone was moved by some delight of the body as great as any man might prove it and know it then. There is no doubt he said, but while the man is given to such sensuality which shall enjoy that delight as plainly and as largely as any man might enjoy it, then he should not seemly behave. hym in vndirston\u2223dyng nor in mynde / neithir he shuld mowe be of power to vndirtake any thyng of woryship nor proffite to perfour\u00a6me by reason nor by any good auise / And therfor seid Archites / that ther is nothyng so cursed nor so infortu\u2223nate as delectaco\u0304n of body vnmesurably vsed / And if ye\ndelectacyon whiche is litle & shorte / were gretter & longer / it wolde quenche and bryng to nought alle the light of the courage and of the clerenesse of the lyf / And knowe ye Scipion and lelius / that one of myne host\u2223tes callid Nearcus Citezeyn of tarent / which had be long in the frendship of allyaunce of the people of rome / said that he herd telle to more auncient men than he was / that the said Archites pronounced the wordys here be\u2223fore wretyn in disputyng of delectacyon with Gayus Poncyus ffader of the seid Archites and citezein of Sannice a cyte of Poyle / This Poncius was so worthy and so manly that in a batayle made before Can\u00a6dy he discomfited two consuls romaynes / That is to witt Spurius Postumus and Titus Veturius and Archites disputed over delight in the presence of the Athenian philosopher Plato. That is, according to the reports of Lucius Canubius and Appius Claudius, Roman consuls, when Plato had come to Tarant. If you ask me why I have here disputed against Delight, I answer that they are relevant to the point that if we men cannot despise and flee bodily delights through reason and wisdom, we should greatly thank old age since it can do so much that fleshly delight displeases which is uncontrollable for any man, young or old. Delight of the body hinders deliberation of good counsel. It is the enemy of reason. It shuts fast and closes the eyes of thought and courage, which contains understanding and ready mind of remembrance. Nevertheless, delight has no barrier with virtue. I almost caused great annoyance. I, having expelled from the Senate Gaius Flaminius, brother of Titus Flaminius, the consul of Rome, after Gaius had served as consul for seven years. I did this to demonstrate that he was discredited and defamed due to his excessive indulgence in bodily pleasures.\n\nWhile Gaius was serving as consul in Gaul, a rebel leader named Stottus urged him, while he was at dinner, to kill one of his condemned prisoners with a dagger. Gaius managed to escape execution by this sentence, but he lost his consulship due to the sentence of his brother Titus, who was then judge of Rome and was to be the next consul.\n\nThis indulgence in pleasure is so evil and damaging that it was condemned by me and Flaccus, the Roman consuls at that time. Since a man with such singular reproof and such defamation and shame was in a position of authority, A gentleman of offices or of similar degree and worship, beneath their degrees, ought to give great thought and consideration in their minds to put away fleshly delightings. I have often heard our ancient forefathers say that when they were children, they heard old men relate the following: In Rome, a citizen named Fabricius heard a citizen from Thessaly say that in Athens there was a man named Epicurus, who called himself a philosopher and maintained an opinion that all things we do in sovereignty should primarily be directed towards the pleasure of the body. Of this opinion, Fabricius was greatly amused and, as old men relate, Marcus Curius and Titus Cornicacius, who in the past had lived and disposed themselves towards sensuality and the pleasure of fleshly lusts, desired that the opinion of Epicurus should be adopted. Semblable wise, Marcus Curius exhorted and said to the same toys and to King Pirhus their lord, because the same city and King Pirhus were enemies to the Romans, should be abandoned and disposed to the delight of lechery, which feebles and takes away the bodily strengths of the body. This Marcus Curius, who in his time ordained himself to delight and lived and conversed with Publius Decius, who lived virtuously and chastely, and five years before that the said Curius was consul, the said Publius Decius, with plain will of good conscience, had handed himself over and offered himself to death for the salvation of the public weal and common profit of Rome, the fourth time when he was consul. Gayus Fabricius and Cornutus knew the good knight Decius. These two Fabricius and Cornutus could certainly judge and determine, not only by the conversations, but also by the noble deeds of Decius, of which he says that something is naturally so fair and so precious and noble that it must be sought and desired with a plain heart. effectual desire And that thing so fair and so gracious is nothing other than lordship and fame of virtue, which is such that for that reason every right good and well-disposed person ought to despise and rebuke the delight of the body, to the extent that he uses lordship and praise of virtue. Therefore, then, you may ask and demand why I have said so many things about fleshly delight and lechery. I answered you that the blame and shame are not only sufficient, but especially it is the great lordship and praise of old age that desires little fleshly delight. Old age does not charge itself with diet or various delicate meals or richly and variously arrayed tables or many dinners and drinks. Old age will not be full of wine often for fear of sickness. Old age will not endure the acting of the belly as is the colic or the stone or costiveness, which comes from taking so much food and so often that it remains raw within the stomach. Old age desires not waking in the time that nature has ordained that even an aged man is strongly disposed to wake against his will / Forsooth, the philosopher Plato spoke variously on a matter that delightfully tempted by evil-disposed men / who lay the bait and the snare to delight aged men in replacement of lusts and metas not helpful to them / and because men are taken and deceived by the bait set in the hook or angle, as the bird is taken in the snare / howbeit, old age would have no metas nor its eating excessively / Always they may delight in delicate metas and in small feedings and temperate diet /\n\nWhen I was young, I often saw an old consul of Rome called Gaius Duellius, who was the first to discomfit the Africans by sea and ships. When he came from supper and dinner, he often delighted in the instruments of music, such as playing on the strings of harps and similar melodies, and in hearing the sound of pipes and trumpets / Also, he took only for his delight and pleasure. solas two plays without the company of any ancient men to delight or entertain them with anything other than honest delight. And licence and use of honest delight had prevailed due to his glorious victory, by which he discomfited Auprik. But it is not necessary to remember in what things other old men took their delight. Therefore I shall speak of myself again, for from my youth I have always had companions and acquainted myself with virtuous disposed men. And after I was in the office of quester at Rome, I was ordained in the fellowships and acquaintances of young men. And at that same time, the Romans received from the Frigians the manner to sacrifice to the goddess Berchinchia, who is the great mother of the gods. I drank and ate with my companions temperately and moderately without excess. But within me yet was a heat of youth, but inasmuch as it proceeds ever in approaching and coming of my old age, all the delights of The body hits me with appeasement and softness, and know that I took no charge of the delights and drinks of wines, not only for the delight of my body but specifically for the delight and contemplation I took in the fellowship of my friends. And consider Scipio and Lelius, our ancient fathers, who have set their names as a bond or a guild to such assemblies named, at the feast that is well and properly called in Latin Convivium, which is desired and gathered, of friendly people in drinking and eating at the table as they themselves would say or desire, that the fellowship of the same company ought to have a customary and continuous assembled life at convenient days assigned. The Greeks did not speak thus of such feasts, for in place of such companies and congregations they said that: It was ordered for us to eat and drink, as the said Greeks would approve, and say that such eating and drinking, which primarily delights in meats and drinks, is the least thing to account for among the company of friendship showing and friends. Therefore, I tell you, Scipio and Laelius, that I delight in worthy things well ordered and approved feasts, by the delight I have to speak with my fellows and friends for our solace and comfort, and that they have with me. I also delight not only with the old, for now there are few of them living, but also with you. I owe also to yield great grace, thanksgivings, and praises to old age, which has increased and multiplied in me the desire to speak with my fellows and friends. But if you ask what is my sentence, if some old men delight themselves in eating and drinking, I answer that because you think that I would move war and displease all delight by doing so. cause that no man should use it/ know it, Scipion and Lelius: I do not understand or will not, that old age should be deprived of its natural love and desire by anything that nourishes and delights all the delightful things which are in drinking and eating. For some men are subject to certain delightful things which follow and continue in a natural manner, founded and grounded in honesty of conditions. I take delight in the diners and offices being ordered by our predecessors. I take delight in the words of the master steward or the butler of the house when he prays me or commands me to dine or take a repast for his lord or master's sake, or merely to drink for someone's sake, according to the custom of our predecessors. I also delight in the standing cups half full of cold wine, according to the custom that an author of Greece called Xenophon wrote in a book of his named Symposium, in which he treats and shows how men should make their drinking. Among my friends and fellows, I delight in summer time to feel the cold wind, and in winter time I delight to be sometimes in the shining sun, and another time near the fire. Furthermore, I follow these delights besides when I am in my village with the sabynoys, my neighbors. And I make every day meetings, feasts, and assemblies of my neighbors when I am at sabynes. And we endure sometimes long for the most that we may at our meetings pass a great part of the night.\n\nAnd if you say, Scipio, that the delight of bodily delights is not so great in the hearts of old men that it might stir them or move them to lechery or other sensualities of the body, for if these delights are excessive, it would then seem that you desire nothing but that it be grievous and sorrowful in spirit.\n\nThe philosopher Sophocles, who because of age was weak, answered well and fittingly to one who said this. Askid, did you use any more of the delights of lechery and sensuality of the body? I pray God said Sophocles, that you give me fortune to desire better things, for I have drawn away from me and fled from the delights of lechery as a man should flee and withdraw himself from some strange lord mad or furious. And know, Scipion and Lelyus, that it is certainly costly and enjoyable to young men who are covetous of the delights of lechery if they may not enjoy them. But to old men who are weary and full of such delights, it is more joyful thing to be sequestered, private, and quit of them than to use and enjoy them. However, they are not deprived of bodily delights, that they desire them never. I say then that it is more joyful to desire not the delicacies, than it is to have them. But if the age of good and honest youth uses these delicacies, they are used more gladly first of some little and small delightful things, as we have said here before. After that, good young men delight in this honest delight, where old age does not hindrally and plainly in bodily delights. Yet they are not all for that reason or for the body itself, as you may see by the following example. There is a man in Rome called Turpis Albinius, who plays and counterfeits the pagents. When the poets sing entr'actes in plays or tragedies of sorrowful lamentations or other such verses, in the place called the scene or the theater, the tent or playing place, he who is in the first stage near the player takes great delight in the words and the countenance of the player. He also delights in those who are in the last stage and in the farthest part of the tent or playing place.\n\nI also tell Scipio that the age of adolescence, which looks near the delights, gladdens paravenature more than another age does.

Yet they are not all for that reason or for the body itself, as you may see by the following example. There is a man in Rome called Turpis Albinius, who plays and counterfeits the pagents. When the poets sing entr'actes in plays or tragedies of sorrowful lamentations or other such verses, in the place called the scene or the theater, the tent or playing place, he who is in the first stage near the player takes great delight in the words and the countenance of the player. He also delights in those who are in the last stage and in the farthest part of the tent or playing place. I also tell Scipio that the age of adolescence, which looks near the delights, gladdens paravenature more than another age does. But old age, which sees from afar the delights, takes a delight in it, as much as it suffices. But... You ask what is worth the young delightments that old age takes away, and which are so far from the body. I answer you that these small pleasures delight not the body but they delight the courage, which is the most excellent part of a man. The small honest pleasures that old men speak of make the courage mightier and help a man to live longer and strengthen him. For then cease the wages and rewards of lechery, coveting, contempts, strife, and all desire, as it falls out, like as it comes to knights and chief officers who after sixty years are dismissed from their offices and come to rest. There is then nothing more joyful than old age and honest industry and rest, so long as it has feeding and reflection of study of sapience and wisdom, and some doctrine to teach others the things that he had learned in young age. Remember the Scipio, by how many times we saw that worthy man, Gallus, familiar and homely with your father, who was... This old man continued to delight in the study of geometry and astronomy, two sovereign sciences for measuring and meting the proportions of heaven and earth and the distances in the stars' courses, as well as their conjunctions, oppositions, and aspects by the sixth, fourth, or third parts in aspects casting their lights and influences upon one another. These conjunctions and aspects signify things to come, such as heat, cold, rain, dryness, winds, dearths, pestilences, and other infirmities. To know the convenient days and times for administering medicines, such as laxatives, digestives, expulsives, and retentives, and the days called \"Dies cretici\" and \"dies of prenostics\" for good determinations, of the passions of a man's sickness or the contrary \u2013 remember the Scipio. This Gallus had begun numerous conclusions of these two sciences so long that the day came unexpectedly upon him. He frequently wrote and studied into the night, yet began in the morning. He took great delight in telling us the effects of the solar and lunar eclipses before they occurred. Galen was passionate about the study of light sciences, such as grammar, logic, and rhetoric, in contrast to the quadrivial sciences, including arithmetic for numbers, geometry for measurements, music for singing, and astronomy for divine things, as previously specified. They are sharp and subtle and should be well-disposed in the learning of virtuous men. You also know how the old man Nenius was engrossed in a book he authored and compiled, about a battle fought by the Romans against the Carthaginians. You also know how the poet Plautus was absorbed in two comedies he wrote in verse and interludes, one called Terentius and the other Sendulus. In the first, he treats the cruelty of a servant against his master. And in the other he treats of the falseness of a bondman against his lord. I have seen an old poet named Lenius, who in Rome taught his scholars, around six years before I was born, a fable of a comedy in ballad and interlude. Yet Lenius continued and progressed into advanced age until the time of my adolescence, during which Tonus and Tudicanus were consuls at Rome. What will you, Scipion, that I tell you of the labor and study of the old man Publius Lucanius, who wrote and treated of divine law after which bishops and priests of the temple ought to sacrifice and serve the goddesses? Lucanius also wrote and treated of civil law after which men must govern and rule the cities and countries. Or what will you that I tell you of the labor and study of this Scipion Musica, now an old man and ready to depart from the world, who has been chosen and ordained the greatest bishop of Rome, for certainly we have. I have seen all that I have remembered from the men who were old, having a sharp and fervent desire to understand the occupations that I have mentioned. Consider also Scipio, in how great a labor of study I saw this old man Marcus Tullius, to whom the poet Ennius called him his sweet honey, because his book was so rhetorically made, and was entitled by him with fair and sweet language in eloquent terms. Which compelled men, eager for his purposes, to incline and bow to believe all that he had proposed and told. You may see and know what are the delights of metals, drinks, and plays, and also of wanton women and ribalds, to regard the well-disposed people of sad governance, and how great in comparison to the moral virtuous men, who are disposed to study for the advancement of the common profit and of the other seven sciences of learning, in which the wise old men that I have named excelled. Above, greatly deleted, these studies of doctrine and sciences followed and follow the wise men ordered in conditions. And also these studies of doctrine have been and are such that they increase and multiply similarly with the aged men. In so much that the good and honest sentences said by the philosopher Solon, which I have said before, are truly worthy.\n\nThis philosopher Solon said that he became wise through learning many things by study, which he never knew before. There is no greater delight, as I have said before, than this, by which the wise old men learn something through exercise, as did the right wise philosopher Solon. After I have spoken here of the studies and of the occupations in which wise men and letters have had and may have honesty and pleasures and delights, I now come to speak of delights that wise old men may have in laboring and cultivating lands, in which I delight more than any man would or could. The old age does not hinder the delight and great joys and pleasures that come from the labor and tilling of the lands. Those who live such lives seem to me to be neighbors to a man's life, leading the life of a philosopher. For wise old men, by natural reason, engage in the labor and tilling of lands, and the earth does not refuse or disobey the commandments of the wise old laborers. For the earth has received, and is sown, it yields never without a great deal of labor the same. That is, the earth yields the double of the second, the third to the fourth, and the fourth to the eighth, not only the simple yield, but the earth sometimes yields that which it has received from the greens and seeds in less assurance of increase, and sometimes in abundant increase. And yet the earth yields that which it has received with assurance of increase, nevertheless, the fruits. The earth delights me not only in its great increase, but particularly in knowing the virtue and natural growth and working by which the earth generates necessary and healthful things for men and beasts. When the earth receives the seed sown in its lap softened and bedded, it is first closed and sits fast so that the seed is covered by the instrument of the plow or the harrow. And in the time, in which men sow seeds and cover the corn, for this reason it is called the time and season of sowing, according to the custom and nature of various countries. After that, the seed is heated by the natural moisture of the earth and through the heat of the sun, and also by the sprinkling of dews of nourishing that the earth does to the seed and to the plants which are all covered, the earth breaks and casts out of that seed a herb growing green, which puts down and spreads within the earth small roots. The stalks grow and swell greatly or little by little, and after they rise and come into a sprout, a stalk full of knots emerges. When they go out of these leaves, an ear forms in which the wheat corn or other grains are ordered and arranged in such a way that one corn does not protrude beyond the other. This is because small birds will not easily eat or waste the corn, so the ear is armed with the closing of pricks. In these things to know and to exercise and occupy oneself, the old age may take great example of natural working and honest delight. Why should I remember the delights and pleasures that old age may take in considering and knowing the nature of the vines, the manner of their setting and shedding and cutting in season, for this reason, you know the rest and the delight of my old age. I tell you that I may not be weary or satisfied with the delight that I take in the labors of corn and of the vines. I leave to tell. What delight does old age take in knowing and considering the virtue and natural strength of all things generated on earth? For from a small grain of a fig or a little seed of a peppers or kernel of a rose or a small corn of wheat or any other seeds or of some small twigs and branches, the earth generates great trunks and great trees and bows. I ask you, Scipion and Lelius, if the new blossoms and buds of the vine, if the sap that men set against the pruning they make on the vines, the roots which spread both above and below the earth, and the plants that thicken the vine, do not not only give delight and pleasure to the old men, but also make them contemplate in wonder. \"Oh thing,\" they said, \"may you give honest delight to old age. That is to say, the vine, which naturally falls to the ground, but is underset and sustained, mounts and grows high, and all that it produces.\" The worker takes it and encircles it with his tendrils, as if it had the skill and hands, and the vine laborers, according to their craft and reason, keep the vine from growing uncontrollably or out of proportion. They cut it with the vine hook when it draws or hangs on the ground, or when it grows excessively in various and crooked branches. The vine does not thicken due to our large branches and does not stretch out into many directions. At the beginning of the growing season and of sprouting, the vine grows to the branches left in the trunks, and in the knots of the branches comes a sap called Iennue, from which the bud emerges, and this grape begins to grow large and is better and sourer at the beginning. After it is ripe, it shows sweetness, and then it is covered with leaves from which the grape grows. Receives the heat gently and is also defended and kept from excessive burning by the sun / I see not, indeed, how any delight could be more joyous or gladder than the fruit of the vine. Know ye Scipio and Lelius, that the fruit of the vine not only gives me delight, but particularly / the labor and the nature of the vine in budding, which produces such delightful liquors enclosed in grapes, / the rings of the stakes that sustain the vine, / the binding or tying equally of every branch and timber to its own proper stake, / and the growth of the vines and the pruning of the branches. Some are taken away to burn, and others are kept to be replanted, which make great delights and pleasures for me. It is not necessary for me to tell what delights and pleasures are for old age, the working and cultivation of the lands with the superfluity that is poured out. of besties and sheep that men spread in a field, by doing and cultivating which the fields rejoice, the ground becomes more fruitful and productive. What need is there for the delight that old men may have in the profit that comes from tilling and fattening the lands and fields? I have spoken of the tilling of lands in one of my books, which I have written about the labor of the fields and the tilling of the lands. A wise author named Hesiod never spoke idly or in vain of this, when he wrote his book on farming. Men say of the labor and tilling of the fields, but the poet Homer, who seems to me before Hesiod, taught the manner of laboring and tilling the lands, fruits, and things that grow from them. After him, Virgil the poet wrote a book called Georgics. Homer, through his verses, says that Lacertes, king of Ithaca in Greece, father of King Ulysses, had great pleasure in one of his fields. Laborers who tilled the earth, sowing seeds and reaping harvests from their fields, brought joy and fertility, making it more productive in growing corn and fruits. Scipion and Lelius, know that the work and businesses of land and field laborers are not only pleasant and delightful due to the harvests of wheat and grains, nor by meadows full of grass, nor by vines full of grapes, nor by various small and young trees bearing fruits, but also by the gardens full of diverse herbs, flowers, and seeds, by the curtilages, gardens, and orchards planted and grafted with various trees, and by the nourishing and feeding of beasts in fair green meadows and pastures, and by the hives of bees keeping and nourishing them, which make wax and honey through a marvelous working of their kind, and by the diversity of all flowers and of various colors of roses. Old men do not lose delight in the trees they plant. that they set trees and graft them onto another, which is the most subtle and most artistic thing ever discovered by laborers of the land. Now I will tell you many delightful things and many pleasures that are in the labors of the fields. But the delightful things I have previously mentioned are longer and more enduring than the others, which I leave to tell. I trust Scipion and Lelius that you will pardon me because I am a long-winded speaker when it comes to telling the delights that come and grow from the labors of the lands. And to prevent it from seeming that I would defend and make old age free of all vices, I tell you that old age, according to nature and kind, speaks and determines more than any other age. This noble Roman man, Marcus Curius, would have endured laboring in the lands until the end of his old age after he had received honor at Rome. The worship of Triumph for the victory of Marcus Curius over the Samytois of Sabynians and King Purus of Epirotes, which Curius decorated with a triumph. Considering the village and great labor in the lands of the said Marcus Curius, who was near me, I am not greatly surprised by his perseverance or the study and solicitude he had in his time regarding labor and tilling of his lands. It happened once that the said Curius sat by his fire, to whom the Samytois brought a great sum of gold as a present. But Curius, the worthy man, being full of noble courage, refused their gift presented to him and did not accept it from them nor their gifts in gold. He said to the Samytois that it seemed nothing to him, though it was rich and a fair sight, nor is it a noble thing for a governor of a country to have a great heap or a large quantity of gold alone. But it was fair and right. A more noble thing for a sovereign captain, engaging in war, is to be lord over the men within the fortress who have gold and other riches, Scipio and Lelius, if you do not think so. Since Marcus Curius had such great and noble courage in disputing avarice and refusing gifts and rewards, he could have had gladness and merriment in his old age, which is the only joyful state for an old man who knows he has lived well and virtuously, and has had his desire in wealth and honor to live in profitable and honest delights. But I have much to speak of the delights and pleasures that old men have, in knowing, using, and enjoying the labors of lands. And I speak of this matter because I do not go far from my occupation, which is that of a laborer and tilter of lands in my age. While the senators, that is, the old Romans, who dwelt in villages upon their lordships, and at the time when Lucius Quintus, an old man, was tilling and laboring in one of his fields, a messenger came. was sent to him and denounced him so that he would know that the senators of Rome had chosen him to be dictator - the greatest office in Rome, as chief judge of the land, to administer justice to the people. By the command of this Quintus dictator, Gaius Servilius, master of the knights at Rome, had a Roman knight, Spurius Melius, killed. This Spurius, who was standing among armed knights because he intended to take the governance of the Roman realm for himself, was also known as Curius. We have spoken before about him being appointed to an office of dignity, to return to Rome with the senators. After that time, when he had lived in his village with the approval of his lands, and the sergeants who summoned and called ancient Roman men to the senate as counselors for the common profit were named journey men and riders - messengers and sergeants - I demand of you, Scipio and Laelius, if the. In the old age, some may find laboring in the lands displeasing or unwelcome. I, however, assert that I do not know if any old age is better or more blessed than this one, which delights men through laboring and the approval of lands. The reason is that the cultivation of land's fruits, which I have previously mentioned, is not only profitable and nourishing to all mankind but also beneficial and profitable for the body. Through the act of tilling, it recovers natural heat to warm the body and make it healthy. Furthermore, the labor of lands is good and profitable for the reflection of all things necessary for the multiplication of vitality and sustenance for living in men. Since old men desire the pleasures and delights that are in the laboring and tilling of lands, then we are graciously disposed in such profitable works of delight. According to old age, in the house of a good and diligent old lord, laborers have ordered his manors and lordships to be well approved by planting fruits, tilling eryngoes, sowing, and gardening, and in their harvests and vineyards, with their beasts and cattle nourishing stored, as the cellar is ever stored with wines, siders, and oils, and the barns with the garneries ever stored of corns and vitalities necessary to the sustenance and living of man, and all the villages, as the tenants of the said good and diligent ancient lords are rich and plentifully supplied, and also has great bondage and plenty of beef, pork, lard, kedgies, lambs, swans, partridges, hens, capons, and other poultry and fowls of various kinds, as well as milk, cheeses, and honey by the bees in their hives in places which the laborers of the lands call their curties. The second thought and solicitude of aged men is that, after the labor of the fields is, the laborers will, Then men put to labor the curtilages of gardens for their herbs of various colors and complexions, and in orchards making to plant and set trees of fruits bringing forth oils, pomegranates, oranges, figs, dates, almonds, pomegranates, peaches, apples, perrysquines, chestnuts, and other such fruits of various kinds. These are the goods of the kind named and referred to above, which come from the study and diligent occupation of a good laborer in the land. A man may readily think to become more rich and more delectable by that occupation than by a business or work which is superfluous, vain, and idle. That is to say, by hawking, fowling of birds, and hunting of wild beasts, which belong to young men. What will you, Scipio and Laelius, say if I tell you of the delight and pleasure which old age may have by reason of the greens of the meadows or of the fair rows in which are set the trees of various kinds and kinds. Fruits I shall tell you in short words, there is nothing more plentiful or more binding in use for a man's living, nor anything more similar to natural beauty and fairness, than a close of fruits well tied and labored over. Old age does not prevent a man from laboring well over a planned close of fruits of various kinds, for their sustenance. But especially old age strengthens and gives courage to the old man to labor well the land, for truly in winter time the old man laborer can as readily warm himself to the sun shining on the earth, or at the fire, which is more convenient for old age than for any other age. Or truly the old man laborer can withdraw himself to the shadows, or find the heat, or find the cold, or in summer time he can refresh himself with waters or otherwise more sickly, than the young man who has his hot blood boiling. I say that delight in fruits. Young men encourage the old man to work in the lands. Then Scipio and Lelius cannot say otherwise, for young men have their comfort and worship in their armor, horses, ships, weapons of iron or lead, and launching themselves to fight. Sailors also use the sea, and young men delight in the bargains and rowing and sailing in various waters and rivers and seas. Some young men use the courses of voyages for riding and journeying from one country to another. Among many other labors, plays, sports, and various pleasures, young men also learn from the use of old men, the game at the tables and chess, and the philosopher's game by the name of ars metrica, as mentioned in the book of Ovid's \"Metamorphoses,\" called the \"Reformation of his Life.\" But we ask Cato, may old men use these two said games of the tables and chess pleasantly when we are old. I answer you no, for without these two plays, old age may well be satisfied and filled with all other goodness pertaining to felicity and blessings. Now it is so that old age and youth should use discretion and not do anything, but draw and be long to virtues and blessings instead of plays at tables and chess. You, Scipio and Lelyus, may read the books of the philosopher Xenophon. These are very profitable for many things. I pray you that you will read them as you do now, and read them diligently. How Xenophon praises much labor of lands in a book of his named the book of Economics, where he declares how a man ought to govern, keep, and approve his own proper lands and goods. To help you understand the sum of the said book, which the philosopher Xenophon made, know that he says: \"To noble and puissant men in worship and to real estates, there is nothing so worthy or so becoming them as is the labor of lands.\" A laborer's life, as it is said, is like that of a philosopher, as he investigates and inquires into the natural causes that make the land fertile and productive. His labor is continuous and beneficial to all creatures, and it should be the duty of every king and prince, as well as other nobles. There is no craft or work more generous or honorable to a king or sovereign than providing and organizing the labor of the fields. In battle, a laborer's hands are harder and stronger than those of any other man. In one of his books, where he speaks with the poet Tritobulus, the philosopher Socrates says that little King Cyrus of Persia was excellent in wisdom and glorious in earthly lordships. During the reign of King Cyrus, a man from the city of Laconia in Greece named Lysander existed, who was a man of great virtue. Greet virtue and nobles came in an embassy to see King Cyrus, at that time being at Sardes his city. Lisander brought clothes of gold and rich jewels from Lacedaemonia and the cities adjacent, which were of his fellowship. Socrates said that this King Cyrus was very benevolent and courteous to the said Lisander, who came to his noble presence. He received him worshipfully and liberally in his royal palace. And for his true delight in such riches, he did not delight in the treasure of gold or precious stones or other great riches that he had in abundance, but in the riches of tilling and labor of lands and fruits of trees of various kinds he showed him.\n\nHe showed him a closed wall all around, diligently and carefully labored, tilled, planted, and set with trees of various fruits, where Lisander marveled at the length and beauty of the trees and their right ranges and the keeping of a measurable order in. The trees were set five feet apart from one another, and Lisander marveled at the alleys and walking places, the well-prepared, dug, and cleaned ground of that enclosure. It was planted with herbs of various kinds of sweet flavors and excellent odors for their softness and sweetness of aromatic sauces came out of the flowers of various kinds, such as violets, rosemary, majoram, gillyflowers, basil, lilies, and convolvuli. He told King Cyrus that he marveled not only for his diligence and study, but also for the subtlety and craft of him who had arranged and ordered the planting of the trees in this enclosure. Then King Cyrus answered Lisander, \"Indeed, I have ordered and measured all these things in this enclosure, and also I have arranged and proportioned the ranges of them, and many of these trees that\" You see here / I set and swear by my own hand / And Socrates tells that Lisander, in looking upon the robe of purple of King Cyrus, and the clean beauty and goodly form of his body, and the rich array which he bore in the manner and wise custom of the country of Persia, which was adorned with gold and many precious stones, and lay purposely in these words to King Cyrus, forsooth said Lisander, men truly say that you are rich and fortunate, happy and blessed in your life, for to your virtue and nobility royal is joined fortune and worldly felicity, because you employ and occupy yourself in laboring the fields to be rich and plentiful, where is the principal part of worldly blessedness. Since then, that of this fortune and blessed disposition which King Cyrus the elder might lawfully use and work in the lands, tilling and making his realm plentiful and rich, I tell you Scipio. And Lelius states that it is beneficial for old, high-ranking men, as well as others, to engage in and take delight in working the lands. It is true that old age does not hinder, but rather enables old men to maintain and perform the duties of various crafts for the benefit of our age. I have heard from old historians that a noble Roman man named Valerius Carninus lived the life of a laborer until he was an old man, over a century in age. Though he was long and perfect in age, he still dwelt in open towns and villages and labored the lands. Between his first office in Rome and the sixth consulship of this Valerius, there were fifty-four years. After that time, he was deemed unfit for public office and rule and governance of cities due to his great age. Towns or be a captain to make war for the defense of the Romans, but which men can endure, after the number of years that ancient men ordained, which was from childhood to the beginning of old age? For old age began not after the number of years, but after the Roman ordinance, and indeed the last age of this Valerius was better and more blessed, because it had more authority and experience in the office of labor, approval of manors, fields, and lordships. If you question how I prove that authority, by the most high thing that old age might have his very experience and exercise? You know well enough, considering what was that old Roman Lucius Metellus, the greatest bishop of Rome, who by his great authority and wisdom defended Postumius, the consul of Rome, so that he should not go to make war in Africa. sacrifices in the old law deputed and accustomed to Mars, god of battle; therefore, Postumius, in obeying the authorization of Lucius Metellus the bishop, left the said enterprise of his war, though it had been committed to Postumius as consul of Rome. You also may know how great the authority had been of old men, as attested by the same Actilius Catilinus, who was the prince and lord of the people. He subdued and conquered as many men as is evident from all the verses of the title inscribed and written upon his tomb. This Attilius, then, was by right a man authorized, whose fame and name all Romans consented to write upon his tomb, in worship and in praise of his victorious deeds. Consider Scipio and Lelius: what was the authority of Publius Crassus, the most great bishop of Rome? And after him, Marcus Lepidus, who held the same dignity, both of whom we have seen in great age. What do you want to know? I will tell you about these three noble Romans: Paulus, Africanus, and Fabius Maximus, all three old men. Their authority was not only in speaking and counseling, but they were of such great authority that their wishes were obeyed. They needed only to signal or use tokens. Old age, honorable as it is, has primarily great authority. Remember, Scipio and Laelius, in all this present book that I praise and magnify, that old age is arranged and ordered by the foundations of adolescence, which are in various doctrines of sciences learned and in the exercising of honest occupations and crafts. Through this, I show you that the silver-haired old age is but lewd and wretched, defending its authority only by words and not by virtues and sciences learned, studied, conquered, and won in young age, as I said once in one of my. The reasons why the whiten-haired and the rolling chair of an old man's body do not suddenly gain authority or worship are as follows: The virtues and sciences of young men do not receive whole worship or full authority until old age comes upon him, allowing his wits to be stabilized. There are seven things pertaining to the worship of old age, which seem light and common to some because they belong to all good old men:\n\n1. It is fitting for other young men, regardless of their greatness in dignity, to sell and make reverence in all places to the old man. Men ought to desire the fellowship of the old man for learning from him and to have his counsel.\n2. In every place, men ought to yield room and audience to the old man in the fellowships where men treat and come into public offices on matters. for a comon prouffite or a pryue / that be syngler causes to be decysed / Men ought to rise sone anone before the ol\u2223de man and bowe them in obeyng hym / Men ought to fo\u2223lowe and goo honorably and worshipfully aftir the olde man fauoure and abyde hym when it nedith / Men ought to lede and guyde them honestly / and bryng them ayen from the places that olde men haue for to tarye / Men ought to demau\u0304de question and enquere of the olde man cou\u0304seill & aduise vpon chargeable maters and doubtouse thyngys for to witt whiche be for to doo and whiche be for to leue / And all thies worships belongen to olde\nmen / whiche be full dylygently kept / emonge vs roma\u2223ynes / and also in other citees townes and villages af\u2223ter that whiche be right wele founded and grounded in good condicions and the same custumes duly obserued\nThe historyes of the greekys sayne that the wise man Lisander of the kyngdome of lacedomonye in greece of whom I haue nowe late made nenco\u0304n / where he was wont for to say that the cytee of lacedemone was The right tour, tower or castle of old age, that is to say, in the city of Laconia, old men received great worship and great authority in dignity. For in no place save there, men made such worship to old age and were more honored and worshiped than it was in the said city of Laconia, otherwise named Sparta. And know ye Scipion and Lelius, we remember well that from the city of Athens came aged men of worship and degree to see games and plays. There was no man of all the citizens sitting and standing in that great place who would give place and room to the old men of Athens for them to be seated and see the plays. Then these old men, considering that no citizen had made them a place, withdrew them apart from the Theatre called the Tent and staged area where some men of the city of Laconia were seated, who had come to Athens as legates. The men of Lacedaemon arose from their sieges and received the old men among them, who had previously been seated in the tents. After they had greatly praised and recommended the men of Lacedaemon, who had given them place, one of the Lacedaemonians spoke, hearing those present. He said, \"Indeed, the men of Athens know such things as reverence and honor due to be done after a right and gentle manner, but they will not do it. O ye men of Lacedaemon, I come to speak of you, for I have known that in your company and fellowship, and in your council, there are many things noble and worthy to be told and remembered. But the honor and worship due to old age, which I now speak of, is primarily found in your fellowship, for after every man has more age among you, Lacedaemonians, he is held and taken as the principal and the first place. Men are assigned to speak and give sentences on causes in assemblies and councils, and the respect and religion are so strictly kept among the men of Lacedaemon that not only the old men in worship and dignity are set before emperors and princes, but especially the bishops and priests who are older.\n\nNow you should know that men of bodily delights should not be compared with the rewards of authority in worship, which is due and given to old age. If some have greatly used bodily delights, it seems to me that they have not fulfilled their age but should be told as a joke and a fable. This is because in their days they have made nothing valuable that can endure by them, whereas they have greatly used these delights and fallen in their last age, that is, in old age. The age which is to be understood, not as jesters, minstrels and players turn and tumble up so down in the last end of their plays of masters, for delight and amusement have we used, leaving it but as a fable and a vain, anxious, and heavy, angry and sorrowful, variable and mistrusting condition. But if we seek the conditions of old men, we shall find, as you say, that they are also niggardly and covetous. But I answer you, Scipion and Lelyus, that their vices which you name here above are the vices of corrupt and evil customs, and are not the vices of age. But, alas, this evil slowness of body and the other vices that I have mentioned which seem to be found in old age have some appearance of excuse, which, forsooth, is not just. But it is such that it seems that men may prove that it is reasonable. Men may yet oppose me that old men believe and imagine themselves to be despised and mocked by young men. And with that, all office and every displeasure is hateful. In old age, the body being free and untroubled, old men may not endure offenses or displeasures nor be wrathful. I tell you, Scipio and Lelius, though old men may seem to be despised, mocked, and offended by young men, which things are diverse and hateful to old men, yet if they are pursued with good conditions and virtues and good sciences as they should be, the aforementioned things will seem sweet and light to bear and to endure. For though the mind is pursued with good conditions and virtues and good sciences, it may not be so easily offended or troubled, but it appeases and sweetens itself, holding itself content and pleased, as soon as it thinks and remembers the proper goodness that is in itself. But if old men are not well drawn forth in learning and manners and wisdom, the evils mentioned above should be hard, noxious, and hateful to them, and perhaps intolerable. It is not marvelous that some old men suffer and endure these things. Here is the cleaned text:\n\nHeeren we welcome and softly the grievances of old age, and some are weary of age. For we may read and see such things in the living and the conditions of two brothers called Twininges. Of these two brothers, born of one father in one belly at once, the one was hard, sharp, angry, ungracious, and rude, and the other was courteous, meek, honest, and debonair.\n\nKnow ye Scipion and Laelius that such is the order of the customs of old age. For every wine, long kept and old, does not easily lose its own nature. Right so, all mankind is not always fierce, cruel, ungracious, charging, or inappropriate in old age of their own kind, though some men among many are found in such condition. I approve and praise in old age the man who has severity and steadfast abiding in him. Severity is continuance and perseverance in one manner of living. aswele in the things within as in them without / But I approve not that in an old man be impatience or harshness and sharpness of manners / & also I may not conceive nor understand why avarice and covetousness ought to be in an old man / for there is nothing more unreasonable or more foolish / than is it for him to hope for greater quantities of worldly goods or of victuals in the time when he has less way to endure and live / Now it is so that old age, after nature, is the end of the last days of old men / wherefore after reason they ought to put themselves less to thought, solicitude and care, to gather more great hopes and plenty of riches and treasures then needful.\n\nHere ends the fourth part & the third distinction of this book & after begins the fifth part & the fourth and last distinction by which Cato confounds and reproves the fourth vituperation opposed against old age / beginneth.\n\nQuarta restat /&c.\n\nBecause in the following distinction next to this book I have. The third opposition is sufficiently answered, that young age opposes old age; now, I will address the fourth cause, responding to the fourth vitupercion of old age, which primarily seems to constrain and discourage our old age. This fourth vitupercion is due to young age's reluctance, as it argues against old age because it is near death. But consider, Scipio and Lelius, how the old man is a keen wretch and unhappy who does not see or understand that in old age, men ought not to reckon or set by, nor be afraid of death whether it nears or comes. For men ought not to revere or fear death, but ought to defy it, if it quenches and brings the soul to nothing, as falsely believed and the opinion of the philosopher Epicurus. Or, men ought naturally to desire death if it leads and brings our souls to some place for perpetuity after departing. The body, as Aristotle, the prince of philosophers, and those who follow him, have stated, contains no third thing between these two means. For it is necessary that the soul be dead or cease and end with the body, or else it lives ever after the death of the body. I, an old man, have no cause to doubt death if I will not be wretched or unhappy after death, because my soul dies with my body, as some falsely claim. Or else, I have no cause to doubt death if after this present death I shall be blessed and joyous eternally, because my soul does not die nor is it dead for ever after this death. Though you may oppose old age, which is near death, tell me, what man is so great that he knows in truth and certainly that he will live forever, and to excuse further the four refutations and defects alleged, I tell you of Scipio and Cicero, who, in their youth, were inclined to excess and to:\n\nCleaned Text: The body, as Aristotle and those who follow him have stated, contains no third thing between these two means. For it is necessary that the soul be dead or cease and end with the body, or else it lives ever after death. I, an old man, have no cause to doubt death if I will not be wretched or unhappy after death, because my soul dies with my body, as some falsely claim. Or else, I have no cause to doubt death if after this present death I shall be blessed and joyous eternally, because my soul does not die nor is it dead for ever after this death. Though you may oppose old age, which is near death, tell me, what man is so great that he knows in truth and certainly that he will live forever, and to excuse the four refutations and defects alleged, I tell you of Scipio and Cicero, who, in their youth, were inclined to excess: Outrageousness has more causes of death than our old age, for young men more lightly fall into sicknesses, they are more severely sick, they take health later and with greater danger. And for this reason, few men reach old age. And if the age of youth would leave the excesses and the great outrage of surfeits, and follow the temperance of old age, young men would live better and more wisely. For in old age is grounded with sad purpose, advice, reason, and counsel. And it is certain that if there had never been any old men, there had never been any cities, towns, or communities of men living, ruled, and governed for the common good according to justice. And because I have briefly said that young age falls more lightly into sicknesses and nearer to death than old age, which has been the cause of a disposition to found cities and towns, and justly to make and order assemblies of men and people to govern cities and towns and countries, I begin now and turn to: Despite your instructions, I'll provide a few minor corrections for better readability, while preserving the original meaning:\n\n\"Again, young age positions that death is the neighbor of old age. And to tell the truth, there is no shame nor reproof to old age because they are near to death. For if death were a just cause for blame and reproof, that cause should be common to the age of adolescence and old age. As you well know, I had a right good son named Caton, as I do. And you, Scipion, also had two brothers, young men. After their evident merits, they should have been in right great dignity preferred - that is to say, consuls of Rome. As many one trusted and hoped, which three deceased in their young age. Therefore, I have understood and perceived truly that death is common to all ages. But you may say that the adolescent and young man hopes that he shall live long, and after that, a man is old, he may not have such a hope. Therefore, I answer you that the young man hopes foolishly, if because of his young age he thinks to live long, for he is not certain of it nor knows it.\" The truth / Now there is nothing more foolish than to have and hold doubtful things as certain and false as true / and if you oppose against old age that the old man has nothing in him whereby he may hope to live more / I answer you Scipion and Lelius that by this thing is better the condition and the state of the old man than of the young man / for the young man will live a long time / and the old man has lived a long time / yet in the life of the man is nothing long, by the order of the gods which have set necessity and need for mankind to die / I, Scipion, in considering how old men live, tell you that every man has some last time assigned / Consider we, Architonius, king of Tarsus, who is the principal country of Cilicia / This Architonius, as I have seen written in histories, reigned for forty-two years and lived six score years / But know, Scipion and Lelius, that truly there is nothing that seems long to me / since it has some last end\nfor when. that last end comes / the time and years of great pains and labors / in youth in great adventures which before were escaped and now all come together / And then abides only in remembrance and mind the merit / which thou hast conquered by thy virtue and by thy good works done in past time / which ought to make the one glad who has hurried past all the perils and adventures / as well in battle as in diverse and many other ways perilous / both on the sea as on the land / The hours of the time of our life / and the days / and the months / and also the years pass and come never again / And also the thing to come may not be known / by any man nor in what place & in what state he be after death / Every man ought to be content and pleased with such a hope of time / as God has given him to live / And for to show how and why the man ought to live, I would that you know that, as the poet makes not only by verses of a fable in his comedy called an interlude to signify. The poet makes only his comedy and interlude pleasing to him who plays it, because in every pageant he is praised and commended by every man after his play. And the wise man also ought not to desire to live till that he says, \"I will no longer of my life, for a short and little time of age is long for living well and honestly. And if it happens that you live but a short and little time, you owe not to have any more thinking or sorrow than the laborers of the lands, which have none. Because the sweetness and softness of primetime, called springtime, have passed, and the time of summer and autumn, called harvest, has come. For though the laborer sees and smells gladly the odors of fresh flowers and herbs in primetime, nevertheless he is glad for the time of summer in which the herbs and fruits of the earth ripen, and for the time of autumn and harvest. heruest in which he gathers them, he put them in the barn and storehouse. Now you should know that the perimetermpes signifies the age of adolescence or youth, which is shown by signs of perimetermpes bourning and sprouting. What fruit will turn and do to the man in his time to come. And the two other seasons, that is to say, summer and harvest, are profitable and able to repay more sheath and gather the fruits to gather for the use of men. And also it is true, as I have before said, that the fruit of old age signifies the mind and memory and the habit of the goods, which before have been made ready and conquered by the virtue of good works. And for proving more, that for dying in old age is no harm or reproof, I tell you Scipio and Lelius that all things that are made after nature ought not to be accounted or reckoned among the goods of the man. Now it is so that there is nothing that is so much in accordance with nature as this, both for men and others. Other things that die naturally in the course of old age, and yet it is certain that death comes to young men and adolescents as well. This is contrary to nature, for death is more painful, sorrowful, and harsh for them. And in this way, adolescents and young men, as it seems to me, die like old men. This quenches a strong and great flame of fire by casting in much water. Old men die like a fire that stops and wastes itself or like a candle. The match in a lamp of oil consumes itself without doing violence or any force and strength. I make another comparison of death, which comes to both young and old men. Just as apples and other fruits hanging on the trees are plucked by force when they are raw and new, and when they are ripe and mellow by the heat of the sun they fall off on their own, so death takes away the life of young men by its violent force, and the ripeness of old age takes away life. The death which comes to the wise man after long age is so joyful and agreeable to me, as I shall approach it in a convenient season. The death is no other way joyful or agreeable to me than the deep sea land would be, if I thought that I should see it when I sail in a ship or swim in the sea, and that it were likely that I should reach the deep sea land or have it after I have sailed and voyaged long upon the sea. That is, the death which comes to the wise man after long age is like the harbor or haven that men see from afar in sailing upon the sea, which gives great joy when men are upon the river in the harbor ward and have taken their harbor's salute. For the fear of pairals, dangers of rocks, sands, and great tempests have been passed and turned into safety and rest. But how is it that the five first ages have their end and their term after a certain number? The last age, which has no certain term, allows one to live rightly and perform the duties of life as long as one can perceive and defend them. Old age is therefore more courageous and vigorous than adolescence, which doubts and fears death. This is demonstrated by the statement of the wise philosopher Solon, who answered the tyrant Phisistratus, who had seized the lordship of Athens by force, when Phisistratus demanded to know what Solon trusted in most and why he resisted him so boldly. It is said that Solon replied that he trusted in his old age, which gave him the boldness to despise death and fear nothing else. I will not lightly blame those who desire to live thus. For the end of living is right good while a man has full understanding and sound reason and natural wit, certain and stable for laboring in offices pertaining to human life. Dame Nature, who has assembled and increased in mankind a body to work, that is to say, the thinking and the reasons and the wits for doing and exercising the offices of life, breaks herself and brings to nothing high courage at the last end of age, when nature is consumed. So it is in the works of nature, in the same way it is in the works of craftsmen. For the workman who has made a ship or any other device in building, the same workman can easily break it when it is old and consumed. Now it is true that the timber and the material and the frames new, fastened or glued, are easily dissevered, and those which have been glued and fastened long time past, are broken with great pains. Therefore, Scipio and Cicero may know that old men ought not covetously to desire. A short space of life remains with them, which they should not leave without just and honest cause, as it is forbidden by all natural and divine reason for a man to shorten his life, since he can do nothing without an honest reason. Pythagoras, who forbids a man from departing from bodily life without the command of God, compares and likens reason to a prince who commands his soldiers to stay and stand in a designated place. For he commands them not to stir or depart without his command. By this example, Pythagoras would say that no man should purchase his death without the command of God. If you oppose and argue against what I have said, that is, that the old man should not desire to live. The remainder of his time, for as you say, the philosopher Solon explicitly ordered that his friends should make weeping and lamentations after his death. I tell Scipio that the wise Solon would be lamented and mourned by his friends because they would show that he had loved them and they were always in his love. But I don't know if Cato, if the poet Ennius would be held more dear and sorrowful by his friends after his death because, through his verses, he said that none of his friends should desire him again in weeping, and that no one should weep for him in his funeral rites. I answer Scipio that Ennius forbade weeping for his death or for anyone who becomes undead and immortal after this present death, which comes to those who have lived all their lives after all virtues. You tell me again, Scipio, that old men feel in their bones. The fear of death, which lasts only a little while, particularly in the old man who dies soon and softly with little pain. Therefore, I tell Scipio that the understanding and feeling of this dreadfulness is such that it ought to be desired after death, for it is nothing after death. And because the soul departs with the body, which I mean not otherwise than what thing it ever is of the feeling of the act of death, we ought to have stable thinking from our adolescence, to live in such a way and so well that we may despise death without any fear or grudge, without this thinking no man may live in peaceful courage. For every man, the fear of death flees before the eyes of the thought. I tell you truly, it must necessarily be certain that no old man may die young. It is uncertain whether a man shall die in this present day. There is no man then who may live in certainty of courage of a mighty heart, if he doubts death. may come and steal upon him at all hours of the day or he beware, it is no need that I dispute long with you about death, for to show you that men ought not to doubt it, if I bring to mind the wise and courageous men of all estates and old men, who did not doubt suffering death for just and honest things, I may tell you of many examples though it is not necessary, you know by histories, how after Tarquin the proud king of Rome was baptized and driven away and deprived of the kingdom for the foul misdeed that the son of the said Tarquin did, in defiling by violence the rightful chaste lady of great worship and renown, Lucree, wife of the noble Collatin citizen of Rome. Duke Tarquin had a son named Aruns, who by force of arms enforced him to recover the said kingdom and to take away the liberty and freedom of the people, and to bring it again in servitude. But Lucius Brutus, then consul of Rome, as he who did not doubt death and who for the common welfare of the city and the avenging of Lucrece's dishonor, took the liberty to assassinate Tarquin and overthrow his rule. for the freedom of Rome to be had, he would of plain and full will lay down this present life, being with the host and battle of the Romans lit upon his horse and placed his spear in the arrest and spurred his horse against the said Appius through his host between two battles, and in such a way encountered and coped one with the other, both of whom were wounded and hurt with mortal wounds and fell dead on the earth. And so, by the courageous heart and manhood of the noble Brutus, the great enemy of Rome was overcome through his voluntary death, remaining still and abiding for the people of Rome their right precious treasure, that is to say their freedom and their franchises which were before time appropriated to them, for he also shows that men ought not to fear death. It is not necessary for me to tell the history of this noble Roman Publius Decius or of his son likewise named Studius among his kindred. He was the first who had the dignity of the consulship at Rome. And once, as consul, he was in battle against the Romans. His host was nearly defeated or on the verge of being destroyed and overrun. In the heat of the moment and with great courage and determination, he decided to sacrifice his own body for the common good of Rome. He spurred his horse forward, charging into the midst of the enemy's ranks. The noble and worthy Decius, who valued the health and welfare of his country above his own life, was the one who struck him down. Decius, before his death, inflicted fatal wounds on many with his spear. Through Decius' enterprise and courage, the Romans' victory, which they had trusted and hoped for, was secured. For when they saw their worthy prince and consul and commander of the army lying dead on the battlefield, they were inspired by his own high courage and free will, sacrificed for the salvation of all his comrades. And the Romans took great courage against their enemies, assuring themselves to live or die in mortal battle with their prince and the field, of which they gained the victory. The son of the said Publius, being four times consul of Rome, had such great and mighty courage and thought that his father, following his nobles in arms and chivalry, did so in turn. For his said son Publius, of his own free will and mighty courage in martial causes, he advanced upon his enemies in battle to defend the noble Romans. He abandoned his body and his own life for the common profit of the Romans. This is a noble example, for such chivalrous knights should put themselves in danger for their prince and for the defense and salvation of a realm or country, being in servitude. For it is necessary to show also that men should not doubt death nor fear to depart from this present life. It is not necessary that I tell you about one of the most noble princes of good. Marcus Attilius, the first a laborer of the lands, and afterwards elected consul and commander of the battles of Rome. He defeated and conquered the Carthaginians, mortal enemies of the Romans, numerous times and took the upper hand and victory. In the end, by the capriciousness of fortune, he was taken prisoner into Carthage. For the release of the same Marcus Attilius from prison, the lords and governors, recognizing his great valor as a victorious prince against them and his renown and worthiness of worship for his valor, and considering his great age, which would make him of little power for making war against Carthage in the future, treated him kindly and asked him to ransom, deliver, and recover many of their young knights and Gentiles of Carthage taken prisoners beforehand among the Romans. Trusting this, the said Marcus Attilius agreed. Attilius was released from captivity and promised to return if he couldn't procure the delivery of the young knights and gentlemen of Carthage imprisoned in Rome. Despising death and acting for the universal welfare of his country, Attilius was willing to spend both his body and life. He advised and willed his destruction, telling the senators of Rome and his wife and children that he would surrender himself again to prison in Carthage rather than be released, and would also acquit himself justly of his other oath and promise to his master captain. He knew the outrageous cruelty and great distress of imprisonment of the men of Carthage, his enemies, who, when he returned freely into prison, were constrained by great distress and tortured him in a pit. They rolled him in a pipe, fastened and stuck him full of nails, tore the lidless of his eyes so that he might not sleep, and inflicted other pains to make him die by such long and cruel torture and pain that it is not possible to recount it without weeping tears. There is no need also to recount how Scipio Africanus and Scipio Asian, two noble and glorious champions, employed and occupied all their strength and bodies for the common profit, and in various battles avenged them against the Africans. After the death and discomfiting of the great Pompey, Scipio, otherwise called African, succeeded to office after the said Pompey and was in one of the battles of Rome that discomfited by arms the men of Africa. After Carthage was destroyed by the great Scipio, he brought them to the end. Scipion, lord of Rome, had hoped for refuge and support from Africa, but with the changing tides of fortune, he departed from Africa by sea with some Roman captains. After enduring many trials in the sea, he and his navy were thrown back into the country of Africa by sudden tempests. There, he was besieged by Publius Sticcius, a knight of Julius Caesar, who at that time held the lordship of Rome. Scipion preferred to die in the state of his freedom and liberty rather than submit to the servitude of Caesar. He took his own life with his own hand. Although he might have escaped, Caesar would have been gracious and generous towards him. After Scipion's death, his noble brother Scipio Asianus, who had subdued and put down the countries, kings, and peoples of the Asian parties through battle, made the common treasure rich and multiplied it. of Rome, the one who has many triumphs and victories, having conquered many kings and princes through victories in battles. After that, he returned to Rome, where he was unjustly accused by King Ancius, who instigated and exhorted him to be unjustly accused and slandered through false accusations and conspiracies. He was accused of taking singular avail and profit for himself and withholding a great number and quantity of money and treasure that should have been put into the common treasure. For this reason, Scipio was taken and bound with irons and was put in a dark prison, where he ended his days without any complaint. I also recall your Gracious Lucius Paulus, the Roman consul, who did not fear death but willingly gave up his bodily life of his own free will.\n\nHannibal, duke of Carthage, the enemy, had assembled his host in a town called Cannae to resist us. withstand the coming of the said Paulus, his fellow consul, and three hundred noble Roman knights, a part of the host went out without the consent of the said Paulus and assembled to engage in battle. In this battle, that part of the said host and the consul and the three hundred knights were overthrown and died shamefully. That is, they lost the victory and were defeated due to a lack of good order and being out of array. Paulus, seeing his fellow consul and his host so overthrown and killed, advanced into the battle without any hope or victory, but only to avenge the unfortunate discomfiture and overthrow of his fellow consul. Who, folly undertook the enterprise in a similar manner, was also overthrown and killed by his enemies. It is not necessary that I tell how Marcus was... Marcellus, the Roman consul, did not despise death in open battle as a knight in shining armor. With an eager heart desiring to resist against the Africans and the men of Africa, he was chosen and required to fight with Hannibal, the chief prince of Carthage, in the field. Our Roman soldiers assembled gladly and were well-cheered and stable in their noble courage. They thought it sufficient that without the presence of Marcellus, their leader, they would die. However, Marcellus would not spare his life for the sake of Rome. He advanced against Hannibal and was slain in the first battle, unable to relieve and support his host. And they all, including Marcellus, the Roman consul and chief leader of that battle, died in the field in the noble and worshipful defense of the Romans. After their deaths, their enemies of Carthage mourned greatly for their great manhood. They showed great reverence at his burial, as I have stated in my book about the birth of the noble Italians. Marcellus, the consul who engaged in battle in the field with his knights, faced the cruel enemy of the Romans, Hannibal. After Marcellus' death, showing respect for his own nobility and recognizing Marcellus' virtue and courageous heart, which in battle showed no fear of death and willingly offered his body and life for the public and common benefit and salvation of the Romans, Hannibal covered Marcellus' body with a pall of rich golden cloth, according to the custom and usage of Marcellian men of Africa. He also gave him a laurel crown and, after cremating him in a solemn fire according to the ancient custom of men of worship, preserved and kept his ashes among the noble men of worship.\n\nAs for Scipio and Laelius, what would you have me tell you about the young and adolescent men? And not only those introduced and educated in sciences and virtuously living according to the condition of a philosopher, but especially the fools and idiots, loathe not nor doubt the death, as you have heard me declare in preceding examples. Consider then, that the wise old men ought not to be opposed because they are near the time of their death. He who is full and replete of all the studies and works pertaining to every age is replete and weary of the time of this life, so that he doubts death in no way, as it seems rightfully and as I prove it by myself. And note for a good warning to every man to keep in mind and for his profit, that certain things are called childhood, the second age, which puts its study and its intent on things agreeable to it. And the adolescent men, who are under the third age, desire in no way the things and the businesses, in which childhood studies and occupies itself. And certain things are. In the beginning of adolescence, men study and occupy themselves with certain things. Young age, which is the fourth and middle age, does not put its study and busyness in its preceding ages, even if the man had been employed and occupied in the other first ages that are smaller and of lesser degree. Young age is called the stable and mean age because it holds the mean between adolescence and old age. A man is not stable and whole in body, mind, and understanding until young age. The things and works in which young men study and occupy themselves are such that old men care nothing for them. However, old age has delight in some things in its last days, in which it studies and employs its wits. Therefore, why do the studies and works of the five first ages die and cease in some times and seasons, while they in such a way cease and die in the busyness and studies of old age? When one lacks in the man who is full and very desirous to live in this world, comes the time ripe and suitable for dying. I see nothing but I dare tell you that which I feel and perceive of death. For me seems that I may better see and feel the nature and property of death, since I, an old man, am less far from it. Therefore, I deem and think in my courage that your two fathers, who have been rightfully named and noble in worship, reside in one life, as of one good disposition. For while we are enclosed within the joints of our material body, we use an office containing necessity for dying, and also we use a gracious work and heavy because the body draws us to the death ward. But within us is a celestial soul and divinely formed, which from the most high. The high palace is come down to be joined and knitted with human bodily, and if it had been converted and hidden within the earth out of its natural place, the place where the celestial soul remains to quicken the body for a season, would be contrary to the divine nature of the soul, which is resembled and likened to the Trinity. For the soul is celestial and descended from a high place, and the body is earthly and weak. The soul is undying and the body is mortal. But I believe that the undying gods have spread and sown the souls within the bodies of mankind to the intent that men should see and inhabit the countries, and because men, considering the orders of the celestial things, should follow that order by manner of stability of life. That is, God, who is undying, has put and puts the undying souls within the bodies of the mortal men to the intent that they perceive and inhabit within this low world to such an end. Consider the ordinance of heaven, and that they may live afterwards a celestial and perpetual life with God. And know, Scipion and Lelyus, that my reason or my disputation on this matter has never compelled me to believe that the souls of men should be mortal and dead, as to die with the body. But the authority and teaching of the sovereign philosophers have compelled me to believe that when I heard disputes among the wise philosophers of Rome, reading the doctrines of the worthy philosopher Pythagoras and the opinions of those who followed him, who were most commonly called Latin philosophers in olden times. They determined for truth that we have the souls spread and sown within our bodies, which were not generated simply by nature, but that they were of a godly and divine substance, such as God ordained in His thought. According to the doctrine of Pythagoras and his disciples, I was taught the doctrine, and that the philosopher Socrates in the last days of his life concluded and affirmed the immortality and undyingness of the souls. Socrates, regarded as the wisest of all philosophers, was held in high honor and renown among all the wise men of the city of Athens. It is not necessary for me to speak continually of the undyingness of the souls, but I firmly believe that the souls of men are immortal. The lightness of the souls is so great that they are always moving. The mind in souls retains the perfection and memory of past things as if they were present. The divine providence of things to come is so great and fervent in souls that a man counsels, urges, and seeks some meritable, profitable, and comfortable thing to come. Since in souls there are so many arts, crafts, and subtle conceits according to natural reason, the works of arts and crafts, in which men commonly live, and where in souls there are so great sciences and wits, both godly and manly, and so many new conceits and diverse things found without any example or patron, I say after my wit and feeling that the soul which naturally contains the things I have said above cannot be mortal. I show you and prove otherwise that the soul is immortal, for since the soul ever has diverse modes, by cause that one time it desires the delightful things, as are science, craft, prudence, wisdom, wit, understanding, and other spiritual virtues. And such things which seem to be good,\nAnd another time the soul has turning of contrary passions, as in waxing wrath, thoughtful, heavy, dreadful, noisome, seely, for displeasant things which are or seem to be evil, and hindering to the body. It must needs conclude, that it is perpetual and everlasting. I prove you also, that the soul is undying, for it has nothing that stirs it to do that which it does, for the soul moves and stirs itself, and the soul shall never have the end of its moving, for the soul may never leave itself, for it would ever be for doing some office pertaining to its kind and to its nature. And by another reason I prove that the soul is perpetual and everlasting, for the natural substance of the soul is simple and is not composed nor mixed of parts of diverse natures, and also there is nothing in the soul which is mingled with that which is unlike its natural substance, whereby it must needs be said, that the soul may not be. dyuided\nin dyuers / partys / And if it so be men must nedys con\u2223clude that it may not dye / And more ouir to preue that the soule be perdurable / ye haue a grete argument and good approbacyon by cause that the men knowyn many & dyuers thynges or they be in puerice / ffor as ye knowe men in the age of puerice / when they lerne and studyen in the speculatyf sciencys and craftys of the practike and of subtyle and dyuyne conceytes vsyng aftir the crafte called experyence / which be full harde daungerouse and sub\u2223tile to come vnto / they witholden and conceyuen so haste\u2223ly and so soon dyuers conceytes & many oppynyons ar\u2223guen that it seemyth not onely that they lernyn them newly and soon / but it seemyth that eftsonys they haue therof mynde and remembraunce as if they had knowyn them before And knowe ye that the philosopher Pla\u2223ton is the auctor whiche spake of the soule so as I haue here said / Aftir that I haue shewed you by argumen\u2223tys and reasons that the soules be not dedly / I now wyll by exsample and by The author shows that souls are perpetual and earthly. The philosopher Xenophon testifies in a book called Economus that the great Cyrus, king of Persia, on the day he died, said to his children: \"My dearest children, do you not think that I am always in some place and that I am something after I shall have departed from your fellowship? For when I was with you, you could not see my soul by which I am indubitably existent, but you will perceive it well enough that in my body was my soul joined by the seven works which I exercised in my life. For my body was, through my soul, endowed with free will, and not with a will to do or not to do all things, I had right judgment of things true and false, I had sensation of the qualities of things, I breathed in and exhaled by the conduits of my body, I knew and discerned things by their proper causes, I had a mind and memory of things. Before passing, the soul is named by seven names: soul, courage, reason, feeling, thought, mind, and spirit. You ought to believe that after my departing, the soul of me is such as it is now, though you see that my body be brought to naught. Yet, because the worship, dignities, and good works of noble and famous men should not be extinct and not remembered, honor should be shown and done unto them who pass out of this world after their death. But their souls should do so much that we should have more of their goodness and praying and remembering me than the time of their life. You also said that King Cyrus could never make me consent or grant that the souls should live while they are within dead bodies or die after they are dissevered and departed from the bodies. And I also say that no one could make me grant or consent, but the soul should be wise and noble. endowed after it is dispersed from the body, folly and foul; but I consent and grant that the soul begins to be wise after it is dispersed and clean and free of all the meddling of the body, which is mixed and commingled of four elements, which are among themselves contrary. And since the natural body of man, which is the most noble of things, comes again to nothing by death, it is clear and notable in what place all other things go; for the things of this world go again to that from whence they came. The soul of man shows not nor appears not, nor can it be seen; neither when it is joined with the body nor when it is dispersed from it. You see also King Cyrus said that there is nothing so like death as sleep. And certainly, the souls of those who sleep show and declare the divinity and godliness of the soul; for many men, perceiving and knowing by their sleep, things to come. So that men are. Delivered and bequeathed, of earthly thoughts, whereby men ought to understand what shall be our souls when they are completely released from the bonds of earthly bodies. For the souls, without comparison, will more plainly use their divinity and godliness after they are out of the prison and of the bonds of the body. Therefore, if these things are true, that is, if my soul is undeniably and immortal as I have said, I will that my right dear children worship me in God. But if it should be that my soul should die with my body to ensure eternity, we who bear reverence to the gods, which defend and govern all the beauty and fairness that is in the fellowship of the body and soul, I will that you keep the memory of me specifically, by well saying and by well doing as I have done while I lived. This great King Cyrus of Persia spoke all these words to his right dear children at the hour that he died. But if it pleases you, Scipio and Laelius, see. We have an opinion regarding the immortality and undyingness of the human soul. Scipion, I tell you that my father Paulus, along with your two grandsires Polus and Scipio Africanus, the father of your uncle Africanus, and many other worthy and noble Romans, whom it is not necessary to name or tell, would have encouraged, had they been able, to perform great deeds of virtue and worthiness in order to gain the esteem and reputation among men that would come after them. But they knew and understood in their courage that those who would come after them through lineage would possess such virtues and good deeds that the memory of it would endure after their death.\n\nScipion, I have endured and sustained great labors both day and night throughout my entire life, not only for the governance of our city of Rome, but also for my own personal household and in actions. And deeds of armies, if I had thought that by like terms I should end with the life of my body. The glory, the laud and praise, and the name of the renown and fame that I have deserved and conquered by my labors aforementioned, I speak this, Scipio, with the intent that I have a singular\n\njoy and deserve honor after the manner of old men, who in telling and giving information of their good deeds, glorify them and praise. And by that they give courage as an evident example to young men for doing like deeds. If I ought then once to end my life, and the mind of my worshipful acts and deeds of renown, and if it were so that my soul should die with my body, it had been better for me that I had lived idly and at rest than to labor, and without battle making. But that I had seen and thought certainly in my courage that those who by succession of lineage should come after me would have in their courage my labors and my good deeds put in. And after my death, the glory and renown of it should abide with the men who are to come, and the reward be given by the sovereigns of divine governance to the undying God's. But Scipio and Lelius may say to me, how mankind, rising and living up to get glory, ever looks before him for remembrance to be given to those who shall come after him. Therefore I answer you that it is said thus: when the soul shall leave and depart from this present life, it may finally live by eternal joy and glory. And but if the souls lived by perpetual glory and joy everlasting after this present life, the courage of every right good man would not so greatly urge them to get the joy that should endure but for a season. I ask you, Scipio and Lelius, what you think of these two divers things: every man dies in like manner, virtuous and wise, in right patient courage and gladness, and every man who is of. The foolish and vicious disposition dies in cowardly and defiant manner. But the courage of the holy and good man, who considers and perceives more and more, sees right well, and knows that the soul goes into a better place, and where it shall be better than it was in this present life. Therefore, the wise, good man dies in right good patient courage, and glad to depart. But the foolish and delicious man, who for his ignorance and the weight of his vices has the light and clarity feeble and inclined, so that he may not see nor know that his soul goes into no better place nor for it to be better than it was in this present life. And indeed, because I am an old man and near my death, and also I think that my soul is immortal, I am right joyful, for I desire to see your fathers there who have departed, with whom I have been conversant and also especially loved for their great virtues while they were here in this life. In the present world, I have not only a desire to see men who have passed out of this life, whom I have known through sight and conversation. But particularly, I desire to see those after my death, of whom I have heard speak and read about in histories, and whom I have written among those whom I understand to have been made immortal by their preceding merits. Therefore, there is no man who should lightly hold me to the love of this worldly life, since I am on the way to join those who are made immortal. And there is no man who should lightly turn me back from the way by which men pass out of this present life. How is it that some foolish old men desire it again? I would that men would drive them and turn them back into young age, as men return a ball from one mark to another. And if God would give me the power, I who am an old man, might return again into childhood, and cry and babble. I would not have my swaddling cloth and in my cradle, like a child; I would not want it, but I would even refuse it. If you ask me what and how great profit and advantage there is to be in this life, I answer you: there is more labor than profit. To speak the truth, this life contains both that one and that other: profit and labor. And nevertheless, this present life contains nothing fully, and old men have full certainty of this life, for the men of the other five ages have term and measure of a certain number of years. Childhood contains seven years, and so does each of the following four. I do not like it to weep or sorrow in any way, because my life is not long. And I do not repent of that which I have lived until the time of old age, for I believe that I have so perfectly lived that I do not think that I have been in the world for long. I depart not from this life as a traveling wayfarer or a voyaging pilgrim departs from some lodging place or an hostelry, but I depart not from this life as the Lord departs from His own house. For this passing life is nothing but as a lodging place or an hostelry, but the life to come is the stablement and the proper house for my undying soul. Nature has given to us men lodging for dwelling to abide, but she has not given to us any house to inhabit.\n\nConsider, Scipio and Leius, how noble is that divine council and that noble assembly where only the souls of dead men shall be. To this Council, Cato shall go, as I shall depart from this troublous life and from this filth. Forsooth, I shall go to the divine council, not only of the men of whom I have before spoken, but namely at the departing from this life, I shall go with them. The young Caton, my son, who was so good a man that none better was ever born of mother, nor more excellent in pity or religion. I have burned and buried the body of my son Caton, though otherwise it should have been in accordance with the course of nature that my body, old and ancient, should have been burned and buried by my son. The soul of my son Caton left me not, but his soul, which looked upon and held me, is turned and drawn into certain places in heaven, where it is believed I shall come after my old age. And truly it is Scipio and Laelius who have seen you that I bore and suffered the death of young Caton my son with good and strong courage. But in truth, I did not bear it nor suffer it with such strong or patient courage, but I had sorrow and trouble. But I comforted myself, thanking my courage that between us two should not be such a long space after this present life.\n\nYe Scipio and Laelius. I. In the beginning of this book, I have told you that my old age, which seems harsh and bitter to endure, is instead sweet and easy to me in two things: my old age and the hasty death of my good son Caton. And I have told you that my old age is not only unburdening but joyful and pleasant to me, because I am certain that the soul never dies. But if this belief is in error, contrary to the doctrine and school of Epictetus, I answer you that this error pleases me, and I gladly consent to it, and as long as I live, I will not allow any philosopher or anyone else, of whatever condition they may be, to take this error away from me, in which I delight. For if after this present life I am dead, both in soul and body, some young person. and small philosophers, called Epicures, affirm that I shall feel nothing, and I am not afraid that such philosophers mock me or my opinion. But you may ask me, old men, what we ought to do - either to desire to live longer or to desire death, and to be content with having lived until old age. I answer you that, even if the souls were not undying, every man ought to desire to die in his time - that is, in old age. For the nature of man has a certain term for living, as do other things in the world, which all die or fall after they have accomplished and fulfilled their course of age. Now it is true that after the first five ages, old age is the accomplishing and fulfilling of the life of men. We also ought not to desire to live out our old age, as I show you by this example: The poet, which rehercith in the Scene in some ffable / owght to be ware that he make not werye / and that he noye not his heerers by ouer long rehercyng the ffable / \u00b6So that men owght not desire to lyue ouir olde age / Seeyng pryncypally that in that age or neuir / he is fulle weerye for to lyue / I haue had in my thought for to telle you of olde age / as ye haue herd here / To the whiche I desire that ye may come / to thentente that by experynce of deth / ye\nmay preue tho thyngys whiche ye haue herd of me / which be by me wretyn in this my boke callid olde age:\n\u00b6Explicit\u00b7: Thus endeth the boke of Tulle of olde age translated out of latyn in to frenshe by laurence de primo facto at the comaundement of the noble prynce Lowys Duc of Burbon / and enprynted by me symple persone William Caxton in to Englysshe at the playsir solace and reue\u2223rence of men growyng in to olde age the xij day of Au\u2223gust the yere of our lord .M.CCCC.lxxxj:\nHere foloweth the said Tullius de Amicicia translated in to our maternall Englissh\u0304 tongue by the The noble and famous Earl of Worcester's son, he was dearer to Lord Typtoft than any other lord in my time, renowned for virtue and wisdom. I beseech Almighty God to have mercy on his soul. I implore all who shall read this little treatise of the virtues of friendship, to remember his soul in your prayers. This work was composed by the Prince of Eloquence, Tullius, and titled \"de Amicicia,\" as you may see more clearly elsewhere. Then, it seems necessary and appropriate for me to add the following:\n\nQuintus Mucius Augur Seuola. This was his name. He was known for telling many things truthfully. And by the law, his father Celius was considered wise. To Seuola, I was entrusted by my father. After I had taken the clothing befitting a man's state, While I remained or it was permissible to do so, I never departed from the side of that good old man from whom I learned many things disputed wisely and many things said succinctly. I bore the pain of doing so in order to find myself better taught, and after his death, I was with another Seuola, a bishop. I dare well say that he was the most excellent man in wisdom and justice. But no force of that at this time prevents me from returning to the first Seuola. When he liked to tell us of many things sitting in his chair, as he was wont to do at home, and few of my servants were with him, it happened that he fell into such speech as was nearly in everyone's mouth in this way: \"Attice, you remember well, as I believe. And the more so because you were acquainted with Publius Supplicius when he was one of the Tribunes of the people. How he hated Quintus Pompeyus at that time, when he was Consul.\" had lived with him in great nearness of love. What great marvel and complaint was had of the people. You yourselves know well, and when Seuola had fallen into this language, he declared the words which Lelyus had used to him of friendship, and his son in law FaERNyus, the son of Marcus, within a few days after the death of Scipio Africanus. The sentences of the which dispute, I assure you, I have surely remembered. And have disposed the same in this book, as it seems to me, and therewith introduced the same persons in speaking to each other, lest if I made my book otherwise, I should use too often the same persons, quoth I, and quoth he. And therefore much the rather I did it, that it should seem as if the same persons had the same language. And Atticus, since you have often entreated me to write something about friendship, it seems to me that it sets me right well to do so, as well for it was a thing due and necessary to the knowledge of all people, as to the great familiarity and friendship between us two. Therefore I have. I have obeyed not unwillingly the desire you expressed. I should prove beneficial to many. But just as I did in my book which I wrote to you, entitled \"Cato Major,\" where I presented the old Cato disputing about age, for he seemed to me the most fitting person in that regard, and since he was many years older than others. Likewise, since I was curious about the memorable relationship used between Gaius Laelius and Publius Scipio, I could not disagree better about the matter of friendship than the said Laelius. And I cannot remember how my work would seem of greater weight and authority than if I caused the words I would use to come from their breasts, which are known of greatest authority and reverence. Therefore, when I read my own works, I am sometimes disposed to think of Cato as if he were speaking. Speaks and not I. But at that time, I brought an aged man to speak with another of equal age. In this book, I write friendly to my friend about friendship. At that time, Cato, who was older than anyone else and whose wisdom could not be found, even in his day, spoke. Now, both are wise and experienced, as is reputed, and excel in the sovereign fame of friendship. I ask you to pay attention to this for a little while, as I always imagine that the same Leilius is speaking.\n\nCues Faunius and Quintus Mucius came to their father in law after the death of Scipio Africanus, by whom the matter was managed. Leilius made their response. The dispute was all about friendship. If it pleases you to read it, you will better understand. Faunius, Is this true, Leilius, or not, that there was never a better or more worshipful man than Scipio Africanus? Yet you may believe for certain that all people have cast their eyes upon you. And they hold you in high regard. Byzantius highly esteemed you, believing you were to be set apart as the embodiment of wisdom. Marcus Cato was similarly regarded, for he was well-versed in law, specifically Cyule. Cato gained renown not only for his natural and acquired wisdom but also for his extensive experience in both the senate and public forums. He displayed prudence, steadfastly carried out his plans, and quickly responded to various situations. In his advanced years, he was known as Cato the Wise.\n\nHowever, your wisdom is not limited to your nature and usage alone, but also to your studies and learning. Unlike the common people, the well-educated refer to a wise man as one who surpasses all in Greece. Although this may be true, those who answer subtly differ in their opinions from others, who consider seven to be wise men. We have understood of one in Athens, and he was recognized and judged by the response of Apollo. But they through... You seek wisdom from me, as if you possess only that which is within your full power. Every fortune, good or bad, is subject to virtue, which brings Seuola before you now and me to ask, how you took the death of Scipio Africanus. This other day, at the garden of Decius Brutus, during our accustomed assembly where we discussed various matters concerning our public welfare, you were not present. In past times, you have not failed with all diligence to fulfill your duty. Seuola, some men ask me and many of my companions, as it is said before, the reason for your absence from that place. I have answered as I thought fit, attributing the cause to the sorrow which you have recently experienced. Saying that, although your wisdom might have moderately endured the death of such a revered man and dear friend, yet your humanity could not allow you to be free from disease and sorrow. I was not present at that time / I said your illness was more a long-term concern than sorrow / Lelyus / indeed, Seuola / just as you said / I well knew one thing / that which should have touched me if I had the power / I would not have been then or felt displeased in my duty / And especially in that / that I had not been used to / nor can I suppose that a little thing should happen to any well-disposed, advised or steadfast man / that he should cease at any time from the doing of his duty / And as for you, Faunius / who lay such great worship at my feet / and so much that I myself do not know of it nor desire the same / you do this as a friend / but it seems to me / you do not grant me the right of Cato / for either there was never a wise man / and I believe this to be true / or else if there was one / he was one / in setting aside all other things / that he endured so evenly the death of his son / I can remember Paulus and have seen Gayus / but beware that you do not compare either of them. Of these, I am moved most by Cato, whom Apollonius judged to be wisest, not preferring him over our Cato. For Socrates was praised for his sayings, and Cato for his death. And since I must speak to you both, understand me thus: if I deny myself being moved by the death of Scipio, I report to all wise men that I am so, for I know myself well. That I will make a leaving, there is no doubt, for none such as him was ever my friend. I need no medicines. I will comfort myself. And primarily with this comfort, that I lament the error which causes others to be disturbed when their friends die. I believe there would be nothing evil that could come to Scipio. And if there were, I would have shared in it, whoever he may be that in the sickness of his friend sorrows, he shows himself the truest lover of his friend. Who is he that can say nay, but that he is truly departed from this world, except one who sets little or nothing by immortality? And what had he not that was not sufficient for any man to wish for? Did he not surpass the great hope of all the Cyprians, who had such regard for him in his childhood, when he came to the state of man through his incredible virtue? He never showed himself to be made Consul, and twice enjoyed that office: the first time before he was ripe in years, The second time, when he was of suitable age, And yet it was almost too late for our public good, for he turned two great cities towards Rome, the most capital enemies, and with one battle, he not only suppressed the field made against him, but many other fields and battles imminent. And what shall I say of his noble manners, of his pity, which he showed to his mother, liberality to his sisters, kindness to his friends, and justice? To all who are not unknown to you, and how well-loved he was in our city, the complaint regarding his death provides sufficient witnesses as to that. Scipio, although age was not a great burden, as I am reminded, Cato said the year before he died, there was commonality between him and me. Yet it has taken away the gravity and joy that Scipio had at that time. Nevertheless, he was such in life, fortune, and glory that nothing could be added to it. The hastiness of his death took away the feeling of his death from him. It is hard to say how he died, what men think, you see well. Nevertheless, among all the days that were of greatest worship and gladness to Scipio, that day next before the day of his death, when he was conducted and accompanied home with the fathers' consul, the people of Rome with their subjects and allies, and with the senate. Latins was devoted to him the day of greatest worship And then from that high degree of estate, it seemed suddenly to be called up much rather to the gods above than to the gods beneath. I cannot agree with those who have recently advocated the opinion that souls die with their bodies, and that death makes an end of all atonements. The authority of people from olden times is contrary to this, with which I strongly agree, and to our elders who have so religiously adhered to them, who have died in their times, and would not have done so if they had believed thus. It would not have applied to them in any way, nor the authority of those who have been in our city and have at times given sufficient doctrine to great Greece with their wholesome precepts and laws, and now wasted and destroyed. Or his authority, which was called the wisest by Apollo, who said not now this, but rather: \"He always remained firm in this.\" say that the souls of men are divine, and when they depart from the bodies, if they have been good and just in their living, their way to heaven is open and right speedy to all such. And so it seemed to the same Scipio, for right a few days before he died, when Philus and Manylius were present, and yourself Seuola and various others, he disputed about our estate publicly, and the conclusion was about the immortality of the soul, which he said and learned from Scipio Africanus in a vision of his sleep. Then, if it is so that the soul of every exceptionally good man shall depart lightly in the lightest way in his dying, as for the keeping and bonds of the body, to whom should we deem that? Alter, Ascensus was granted to him, namely from the goddesses, rather than to Scipio. Wherefore I dare not complain of his fortune, lest I be thought rather envious than friendly towards him, if otherwise, perhaps I were afraid, lest the death of the body and the soul were all one. So there is nothing good in death, and similarly, there is nothing evil in it. For when the feeling is gone from a man, he was as good as if he had never been born. Yet we are glad that Scipio was born, and so will this city be as long as it endures. Therefore, as I mentioned above, he is well dealt with all, and I more brutally dealt with all than I would have. Since I entered this life before him, I should have died before him. Nevertheless, I joyously remember our friendship, which seemed to me like prosperous living. For I had and laid down my life with Scipio, with whom my public and private charges concerning our estate were evenly divided, and with whom in war and peace was always one. And in that in which the greatest force of friendship resided - our wills, studies, and feelings - we were all one. Therefore, the unfaithful fame of this wisdom, which Faunius has remembered me for, does not delight me as much as this does. I trust that the latter will be more enduring. The remembrance of the friendship between me and Scipio shall endure, and all the more joyous to me it is, that in all worlds passed, there are fewer than three or four such friends named, among whom I trust that the friendship of Scipio with Lelius will be known to all who come after us. Lelius, it must be as you say. But since you have mentioned friendship, and that we are at good leisure, you shall do me a thing, and I believe Seuola will wonderfully agree. Namely, if you will please, as you have been accustomed to do in all other things requested, to dispute in this matter of friendship, what you feel, what you reputed, and what precepts you will give to the same. Seuola, it shall be pleasing to me that you so dispute. Nevertheless, Lelius took from my mouth the thing that I would have said. Therefore, not only to Lelius, but to me, you shall do a thing of great pleasure. Lelyus. It shall not grieve me so to do, if I were assured of myself. There is no doubt about the matter being right noble. And as Faunus says, we are at good leisure. But what kind of man am I, or what is my ability? The custom of learned men is this, and the Greeks have the same: to have a matter proposed to them, and they care not if it comes suddenly. On such things as can be disputed, I advise you to ask it of those who take upon themselves such things. But as for things that may be disputed among amicable people, I will urge you to prefer amity above all other human things, for there is nothing so convenient and fitting for men, either in prosperity or adversity. First, friendship cannot be in other than good people. And yet I will not be so hasty as to say that it cannot be, but in good people, as perhaps some will argue, who are diligently examining the matter and perhaps truly. We easily deny that any man can be good if he is not wise. But they make such an interpretation of wisdom that no mortal man could attain the like. Therefore, let us take heed of the things in common use and life of man rather than of such things as are imagined or desired. I shall never call Gaius Fabricius Marcus Cursor or Titus Cornutus, our ancestors who were held wise, if I were to follow that rule. Let those who give such an interpretation of wisdom take the name of wisdom for themselves. The name is right envious and dark, or let them grant that the said persons were good. And they shall not deny the name of goodness to anyone but to wise men. Let us be more plain and bold than those who say that they deem themselves and their lives such that their faith, holiness of manners, kindness, and liberality may be shown. And there is in them. them, not covetous of worship/lust or unwarranted hardness, but rather steadfastness, as was in those I have named above. Let us judge these good men as they were called. The ones who obtain, as truly as men can, the best nature in all their living. It seems to me that I should be born in such a manner. That there should be a fellowship among all persons, and much the rather. For every man has an inclination towards the same. So that one citizen draws rather to another, than one stranger to another, And those who are of kin, rather than those who are far off. For nature herself has brought forth friendship in this excellent kindred. But from friendship, never to take away benevolence, for the great force of friendship is this: among the infinite company of mankind, which nature has gathered to herself, it is a thing so narrowly brought to guide and draw together, that all manner of love remains. Between two or a few, friendship is nothing else but the bond that brings together that which is good and that which is human, with supernatural benevolence and charity. And I never knew. On less than it were wisedom, what better thing might be granted to man by the gods Immortal. Nevertheless, some say that riches are better than it. And some health. And some power. And some worship. And some pleasure. But the last is a beastly opinion. And the things before are slippery and uncertain, and not only put in our dispositions, but in folly of fortune, they put the highest well-being in virtue. They put it right and notably, and as they should do, but the very virtue brings forth friendship and continues it, for friendship may in no way be without virtue. But now let us make an interpretation of virtue according to the common speaking and living, and let us not measure it according to the magnificence of words, as though we were. Greatly have I learned to value myself, but let us call them good men, who are held in good regard, as Paulus, Catonis, Gaius, Scipiones, and Philos. The common life is content with them, and let us forget those who cannot be found among such men as I have mentioned before. Friendship has many opportunities; I may therefore unrehearsed recount some. And first and foremost, who is he that can truly live in this life, as Ennius says, who does not rest in the good companionship or goodwill of some friend? What could be more pleasant than to have such a friend with whom you may speak of prosperous things, and if you had not someone to enjoy your prosperity as much as yourself, how hard it would be to endure adversity without one, who would be sorrier for your adversity than yourself? Furthermore, other things that are greatly desired are wealth for use, plenty for reverence, worship for lord or fame, pleasure for. And heals lack of pay/ne and uses the gifts of the body, but friendship contains many things, whatever you turn to it. It is ready, put out in no new place, for it is never slow or grievous. Therefore, as they say, we use not fire or water in more places than we use friendship. I do not speak now of the vulgar and mean openness of friendship, which perhaps should both delight and profit. But of that friendship which is true and perfect, like theirs, which have been few in number, there is no doubt of. Friendship embellishes prosperity, relieves adversity, and is a partner to both. But besides the numerous great commodities it has in itself, it does exceedingly above that. That it gives good hope to our life, which we are to live, and suffers not our minds neither to be weakened nor overwhelmed. Also, whoever sees his. Friends see a likeness of themselves in a man. Therefore, when they are absent, they are nearly united. And when they are needy, they are abundant in goods. And when they are weak, they are of great force. And what is hardest to believe, when they are dead, they live. Such is the desire. Such is the worship. Such is the remembrance of friendship. Since their death is thought so blessed, and their life so worshipful. And take away from nature the joined goodwill of things. Neither house nor city, nor tillage of land shall remain. And if this is too little to understand the power of friendship and accord, it may be perceived by its contrary. That is to say, by variety and debate. For where may be found a household so stable, or a city so firm, that it cannot be overthrown by hate and discord. Friends say that a man named Agrigentinus, well-versed in the teachings of Greece, by means of this, can be understood. prophecy had this language: whatsoever it be in the nature of things, or in the world, which has a natural moving desireth its like and flees its contrary. Every natural man understands and prizes friendship, and disdains and rebukes enmity. When any man has taken office of a friend upon him, in addressing himself to Parolles or taking part of Iobarius with his friend, who is he that prizes not his life in the highest way, what cry and noise caused the tragedy played in the house of my host and my friend Marcus Potinus, when Thoas was present and surrounded him so narrowly that he came to the place where he found two, of whom he knew that he was one. Pylades, his fellow, was there, who took upon himself then the name of Orestes with full will and purpose to die for him. And the said Pylades, Orestes' fellow, continually said then: \"Yet am I he, whom you have sought and not Pylades.\" How glad the people were when they saw. this played and feigned, you know well, and we would have been much gladder if they had seen it done in earnest, in dead earnest, where nature clearly showed her force. Those who could not do it themselves judged it excellently well done in another. To me it seems I might say that, if there is anything more to be said. I believe there are many things.\n\nThen ask them, those who take it upon themselves to dispute such matters, Faunius. We would have lived here longer had I asked for it, though I have demanded it and heard it from others against my will. But we look for another thread of your spinning, Seuola Faunius. You would much rather say so. If you had been present a little before the death of Scipio, when my father Lelyus and he disputed our public estate, when he was so great and so strong a protector of righteousness against the studied reasons of Philus, it was easy for him, who was most just himself, to defend the cause of justice. Seuola: What say you? And why not show friendship lightly, by which he has gained/in showing himself steadfast and faithful, sovereign glory? Lelyus, indeed, you are trying to enforce me, but it is of little consequence. By what means do you constrain me? But there is no doubt, and you enforce me harshly. And your pleasures, which are my sons in law, especially in that thing which is good, often make me think: should friendship be desired in times of weakness and need, so that one should receive or give to another benefits to be given or taken, that thing which he might not attain by himself, and whether this was truly due or proper to friendship? But it seems to me that there was another cause, fairer and more natural. And that is love, from which amity takes its name. For from Love comes Friendship. And that love is the principal and chief thing. In genuine friendship, for profit is often had by those we worship and observe according to the colors of friendship in accordance with the seasons. But in true friendship, there is nothing feigned or dissembled. And what is in friendship has its beginning rather from nature than from need or indigence. It comes rather from the application of man's will to the feeling that he has to love, rather than from the thought he has, for what is it in itself, it can be soon perceived in beasts which love them that bring forth for a certain time and are as well beloved again. Therefore, the feeling of friendship is soon apparent in such beasts. But much more evidently in man, firstly, by that charity and love between children and father and mother, which cannot be disputed without great and detestable offense. Secondly, if there is a similar feeling in other persons of love, as if we can get any man according to our manner and nature. whom we may see the light of prowess and virtue, for there is nothing more amiable than virtue, for it happens often that we love them. whom we did never see, for their virtue and prosperity. Who is he that uses not the remembrance of Quintus Fabricius and Marcus Curius with a manner of charity and benevolence, and yet we never saw them, and there again, who is he that hates not Tarquinius Superbus. Publius Cassius and Spurius Melius. We have fought with two princes in Italy for the sovereignty, and they were Pirrus and Hannibal. And as concerning the first, we owe him no great evil will, for the prosperity and prowess which we felt in him, and the second, this city shall never but hate him for his cruelty. Then, if there is so great force in probity that we love in them, which we never saw, and much more in our enemy, what marvel is it, though the courage of men be greatly moved, when it seems to them that they may see virtue and prowess in them, with whom they may be. Family and love are confirmed by benefits given and love understood, and these things joined with the first motion of courage and love cause a man an incredible increase of fervent benevolence. Therefore, whoever believes that it proceeds from weakness or impotence, or that such weakness should be the means to achieve that which they desire in friendship, truly they leave the beginning of friendship. They are humble, bear, and show unworthiness, since they will that it should spring from wretchedness and indigence. And if that were true, those who are least in reputation and have the least, are most apt to friendship. For just as much as a man is most assured in the safest guard of virtue and wisdom, he has no need of any other outward help, but thinks that in himself is all that he needs. Therefore, the more excellent he is in friendships to be attained. What need did Scipio Africanus have? None. I love him not because of him, but because I admire his virtues. He, having a good opinion of me, may have loved me in return. Our custom and familial relationship increased our benevolence towards each other. Although great and much profit accrued to both of us by this, it was not the cause that first made us love each other. For we are liberal and glad to do good. We do not look for a reward in return. Our benefaction is not based on certainty, but we are naturally ready for the administration of freedom. In the same way, we are induced to believe that friendship should not be used for the hope of reward, but for the fruit that grows from it - love. Nevertheless, I am in all ways of diverse opinion from the people. Those who, after their bestial sensuality, put the beginning of friendship in fleshly lust, and what a marvel is it, that they who so do may see nothing that is worthy of magnification or the divine. my thoughts are on a thing so simple and vile. Therefore, let us set aside all such from our communication, and let us understand that the feeling of love and the tenderness of good will come from nature, with the sign of prowess from either party. The signification of love, whoever they be that desire it, they apply themselves as near as they can to such as they have begun to love, so that they may enjoy their customs and manners. Thus, they should be even and equal in the manner of loving, and more ready to merit well of their friend than to ask again for the thing that they have merited well in. Such worshipful strife should always be between them, that is, he who does most for the other shall reap the greatest profits. This beginning of friendship, which proceeds from nature, shall be more weighty and true than that which proceeds from need, for if profit were the cause of knitting of friendship, whenever that profit should cease, so shall the friendship. Prosper fails. Friendship is loose, but for as much as nature may not be changed, the friendly feelings which grow from nature are most firm and longest enduring. You see now, as far as I can show, the beginning and the first origin of amity. Please, if it pleases you, Faunius, let Lelius go forth as you have begun, for I may take upon me to answer lawfully for him, who is younger than I. Seuola, Brother, you do not harm, therefore let us here our father in law, Lelius. Right worshipful sons, here are the things which were often disputed between me and Scipio concerning friendship. Nevertheless, he often said that there was nothing more hard to believe than that friendship might endure between two until their last life days, for he said it often happens that one thing is expedient for one that is not expedient for the other. In public affairs, they vary in their opinions. Therewith he said, \"The manners of men are often changed.\" Some changed their allegiance in adversity or prosperity. Some in their grievous years. And he took his example from his first flourishing ages, saying that some children love in the highest wife until they reach the age of seventeen, and then change. And if they continue to the years of strength and justice, either for the love of women or for the covetousness of good, they shall fall at strife and debate. And that is because they both cannot have one thing, and if they pass the time of continuance of friendship until they are riper years. It often happens that the same friendship feebles and fails if they fall in strife for worship. A greater sorrow cannot be in friendship than the covetousness of good, which vexes men greatly. But the most hurt to friendship is when those who are much worshipful strive for worship and glory, of which strife. Most deadly enmity has happened often between them who have been most friendly. We have seen great debates when some things have been desired unreasonably from friends. For instance, one person may ask another to be a confidant of his lust or an accomplice of his wrongdoing. When he refuses to do so, even if he does so in accordance with worship, he is blamed for unkindness. And the breach of friendship by those who would not serve their intentions leads to the statement that there is nothing their friend would desire of them, but they would do it gladly for their sakes. Thus, by this old manner of quarreling, familiality has not only been set aside but also perpetual hate has grown from the same. Scipio said it seemed to him that friendship was subject to so many faults and parallels that it was not only the office of a wise man but of a gracious man to flee from it. Therefore, if it pleases you, let us first discuss how love should proceed in friendship. How do you suppose, Coriolanus had a friend Silinus who desired to be\n\n(Note: The text appears to be in Middle English. No significant OCR errors were detected, but some minor corrections have been made for readability.) King Emilius or Melius have seen Tiberius Gracchus abandon our public estate, forsaken by Quintinus Tubero and such other friends of his. And Gaius Blasius, a Cuman, presented Lematus and Rupilius, who were consuls at that time, to me, asking me to spare him, as they were pleading for Gracchus' cause. He believed that whatever Gracchus had commanded him to do, it was beneficial to him to do so. Then I asked him if he had commanded you to bring fire to burn the capitol, would you have done so? He replied, \"But if he had commanded me so, I would have obeyed his commandment.\" Is this not a cursed answer? Indeed, he did as he said, for he not only obeyed the foolish presumption of Tiberius Gracchus but also helped it along as much as possible. Therefore, he did not make himself a servant of his madness, but rather its guide and conductor. Therefore, his madness was freshly inquired about, and he therefore sore feared and fled into Asia to our enemies. And suffered for the same grievous and just pains. Therefore, I say it is no excuse for sin. When a man says he did it by cause of his friend, since virtue is the very knot of friendship, it is hard for friendship to abide when men depart from virtue. For if we think it reasonable to grant to our fathers all that they would have had from us, or to desire from them all that we would have had from them late, and they were of such perfect wisdom that in our desires and theirs there was nothing of vice, but for such friends as we see or remember that are here in this common life among us, it is best we take examples from them. And in particular from those who draw near to wisdom. We have seen Publius Emilius and Lucius confront and be called twice to estate and mining. First, they were both made consuls and controllers of manners. It is written how Marcus Curius and Titus Cornutius were greatly joined in friendship and goodwill towards the aforementioned. Between these two, there was great love. It is not to be thought that either of these, whom I last spoke of, desired anything from his friend that was contrary to his faith, his promises, or his public estate. What need is there to speak of such things about these people, who were so good and holy? For if any man had desired such a thing from them, he would not have obtained it, for it is almost offensive to desire such a thing, to seek the same desire. Although Cueyus Carbo and Cueyus Cato were of the faction of Gracchus and Cueyus Frater, yet now he is my greatest enemy. Therefore, let this friendship be confirmed: we desire nothing dishonorable from him. And though other people desire such things from us, we will not agree to it. It is a foul excuse, and in no way to be. Received in that, which touched our public estate yet, in smaller offenses, when one says that for my friends' sake I did amiss. But we have been brought to this perilous situation, Faunus and Sextus, in which we have great need to forego customs of our elders that have been set aside, out of the place and way, that they were in. Titus Gracchus punished himself to be a king and reign over us; and if I may speak truly, he reigned. Though it were but a few months, the people of Rome had not heard nor seen such a thing before. And Gracchus' friends and kindred after his death followed his steps; I may not tell you without terror, what they did against Publius Scipio. We endured Carbo, of whom we spoke just now, for the new and fresh pain that Titus Gracchus suffered. I do not wish to judge, but I see it creeping in, which, when it has once begun, falls to ready destruction. Do you not see it? In your minds. The spot which is in the table before, made first according to the law that Gabynus made. And within two years, by the law that Gassius made, I seem to see the people dispersed from the Senate. And the greatest thing concerning our estate public, executed after the will of the multitude. And there are more who will learn how such things should be practiced than how they should be allowed. Then to what intent do I say this? But for this reason: I know well that there is no man who will attempt such great works without being sure of many allies to assist him. Therefore, those who are good should be warned that if they unwittingly fall into such alliances that they consider themselves so bound to such friends that if they transgress against our public estate, they should not depart from them, for pain is always due to those who offend, and it is unnecessary for those who are their allies and partners. In the same crime as those who led and instigated them, none were clearer or more powerful in Greece than Themistocles when he was emperor. He delivered all of Greece from servitude through the battle he had against the Persians. Afterward, out of envy, when he was exiled, he did not endure the injustice of his ungrateful country. He should have endured it, but instead, he acted in the same way as Coriolanus did here with us not twenty years ago, who could not find one of his citizens who would help him in the war against his own country. Therefore, such a conspiracy of the wicked should not be covered and closed by the excuse of friendship, but rather avenged. No one should believe that it is suffered or granted that a friend would help another in war against his own country, for there are few men who know when a thing has begun what it will lead to. Then and this same matter shall be, but I take equal care to consider what our public estate shall be after my death as I do now. Then this first law of friendship is established: we desire nothing from our friends but what is worthy. Nor do we do anything for their sake but what is fitting. And if we know of any such thing, let us tarry till we are urged. Let our mind and study be wholly set upon it, turning all our attention to it. Let us be glad to give them true counsel freely for the authority of friends in that which they advise well. This helps greatly in friendship. And sometimes we should advise them not openly but sharply, if the case requires it. And they should obey such counsel diligently, for I believe that among the Greeks there are many things considered wise by such men, but they find some fault in them. Some would argue that a man should avoid having too many friends, lest he be driven by necessity to take care of many. It is true, and at times they say, one should focus on matters concerning oneself and be cautious in others' affairs. It is painful to be overly generous in friendship. When one wishes, he may restrain or release it at his pleasure. The best thing for living well is to be free of care, and this is not possible for one who travels and vexes his mind with many concerns. Some speak uncourteously, as I have said before. They argue that friendship should not be sought for the sake of love and goodwill, but rather a man should seek the greatest friendships or those of the greatest men. By this means, as I believe, weak and least powerful women should rather desire the help of friendship than. men and the needy, rather than the rich and the wretched, were more inclined to form friendships. O Lord, what is this noble wisdom? For we have been granted nothing better or more joyful from God in this life. What is this quietness of spirit they speak of? At first glance, it appears blandishings, but in truth, it is utterly to be set aside in many times and places. It is not in accordance with anything worthy or good that you could take upon yourself or possess without care and labor of the mind. For if we flee care, we must flee virtue, for virtue must have some care to set aside things contrary to it, such as bounty setting aside malice, temperance lust, and sluggishness. And that is the cause why those who are truly wise are most often seen. I'm sorry for the things done unrighteously, and for those who do things unwillingly. And for those who are hasty in doing things viciously. Therefore, it is proper for him who has a well-disposed courage to be glad when he sees things well done, and to be sorry for the contrary. If a wise man can be sorry, which must be necessary or less than we would believe, that there is no courtesy in any wise man's breast, what is the cause that we should set aside friendship, so that we should suffer no pain or disease for it? If we take away the rising of a man's thoughts, we will not only take away the difference between him and a beast. But also the difference between him and a stock or a stone, or any such thing. They should not be heard who say that virtue is hard and as it were made of iron. For, as it is in many other things, and especially in friendship, it is both tender and treatable. Therefore, for the well-being of a man. A friend enjoys the company of his friend, and for his enemy, he sorrows. Therefore, this pain that is to be endured for our enemies does not dissuade friendship for the life of man any more than virtues. For virtues cannot be had without labor and pain. They should be refused by all men. And then virtue sometimes keeps herself within herself, as I said before, if anyone should take hold of virtue, which may appear to the one whose heart may apply itself to him. As soon as anyone attains it, it is necessary that love for it springs and grows. What is more foul than the delight in many vain things, such as honor and glory in worldly things, in clothing, and in the adornment of the body, and not to delight in a heart enriched with virtue, which can love and be reclaimed to live virtuously? There is nothing more pleasant than the reward for a good will or the nearness of studies and services. And if we add this, which can be rightly added, that is,\n\nCleaned Text: A friend enjoys the company of his friend, and for his enemy, he sorrows.

There is nothing more pleasant than the reward for a good will or the nearness of studies and services. And if we add this, which can be rightly added, that is: Say that there is nothing that attracts anything to it or keeps it faster than likeness draws friendship. It is granted, for truth's sake, that those who are good love good people and join them to themselves, as if they knit them to themselves in kind and nature. For there is nothing more desirous of its like and similar than is nature. Therefore, Faunus and Seula. I truly believe this is certain. Among those who are good, there is a manner of necessary benevolence. This is a true well of friendship, but this same bounty belongs also to the multitude of the people. For virtue is neither uncourteous nor rewardless nor proud, which is always welcome. In the best way to counsel and defend all manner of people, and she tested herself from the love of the community. Also, it seems to me that those who would form friendship in the shape of profit take away the most amiable knot. Friendship, for the profit a man gains from his friend, is not as delightful to him as the love from his friend. For the love that comes from his friend brings joy to him, when he knows it comes from love. And I think it is just as unreasonable that friendship should only be used for profit, as those who have the most riches and power, and especially in virtue, in which there is greatest security, should be the most generous and glad to do good deeds. And as far as I know, there was nothing lacking among friends. After the love of friendship grew between me and Scipio, though he had no need of my counsel or help, either outwardly or at home, the friendship should not have been less, for I say this to you: friendship does not follow profit. But profit follows friendship. However, men are not hard to speak of friendship when they delight in it. of the which [they have neither use nor knowledge, for who is he that neither covets nor loves any other man, nor is beloved by any other man, though he had abundance of all other things and was set in most foolish plenty? How should he live in this life that I speak of? Is there such a life in tyrannies, in whom is no faith nor love, nor can there be in them the stability of benevolence? Or any trust, for they have everything suspect and are full of thought and care. There is nothing and no place in them for friendship. Nevertheless, they are worshipped for the time and dispersed with all, for who should love him who is dreaded by all men and dreads all men himself? And if it happens, as it often does, that they fall from their estate, then it is well understood how great need they have of friendship. As it is remembered that Tarquin, when he was in his exile, understood not whom he might trust nor whom he might mistrust. And therefore he might think. All men are alike. Though the pride and importunity of this Tarquinus caused him to have no friends or men of his kindly disposition have no friends, for riches and power of those who are greatly mighty exclude trusty friendships. Fortune herself is not only blind, drawing to her those who are her servants and lifting up to estate with the loathsomeness and contumacy of all people. And there is nothing more intolerable than an unfortunate fool, which can be seen by those who have been passing rich, for when they have been set in high estate, power and dignity, their conditions have been completely changed. And they have forsaken their old friends and taken new ones. What is a more ridiculous thing than when men have great abundance of riches to pour out such things as they do, that is to say money, horses, stately household, rich clothing, precious plate, and forget to pour out to them friends, which is best and the fairest adornment that any man may have. In this life, for when they inquire about the things I spoke of before, they did not know for whose use they take on this labor. For all such things fall to the party who is most mighty. But the possessions of friendship remain certain and stable to every man. And though the goods of fortune remain with a man during his life, without friendship his life may neither be fruitful nor merry. And this suffices so far:\n\nReason would now have us set the bounds of friendship, like the terms of love, of which I have understood three opinions, and of them I approve none: One is that we should love our friend as affectionately as ourselves; Another, that our benevolence towards our friends may answer evenly to the benevolence which they bear towards us; The third, that whoever makes much of himself, so much he should be made of by his friends. And I cannot agree with this. None of these three opinions / not the first of them is true. For there are many things which we will not do for ourselves that we do for our friends. That is to say, pray him humbly who is beneath us, or speak sharply or blame him greatly - things which are not honest in our own causes, and are most honest in the causes of our friends. There are also many things in which well-disposed persons take away much of their own profits and suffer it to be taken away by their friends, rather than themselves. The second opinion, which distinguishes friendship by the parity of debt and pleasure, is to be scorned. To call one's friend so wickedly to account that the reason for taking and the reason for yielding are even, but true friendship, as it seems to me, is rather and more plentiful, for it takes not so strict heed that more is given than taken, nor does it fear greatly, lest anything be lost. Exceeding and falling beside, or giving more than is necessary and even to a friend, is not advisable. The third term or end that they set is the worst of all. A man should not be made by his friend to be more than he is himself, for it often happens that some people have not as noble and high courage as others, nor the same firm hope of increase of fortune. Therefore, a friend is not as much an enemy to one man as to another. Instead, he should help himself and do so that he may lift up the low courage of his friend, and bring him better hope and more quick remembrance. But we must limit another end of friendship. First, I will tell you what Scipio was most wont to reprove. He said that there could not be thought to be more full of enmity than the wisdom of him who said that a man should love in such a way that if it happens to him sometimes to hate in the same place, he could not believe that Byas should. which was wise to hold and one of the seven wise men/ but how came it to be so/ instead, it should have been the saying of some impure and ambitious person/ or of such one/ who would have wanted to control all things/ for in what way should one be friendly towards him/ whom he believes should always be his enemy/ furthermore, it would be necessary for such a man/ to covet and desire/ to take his friend often with faults/ so he may have greater cause to rebuke him/ and besides that, they should often take displeasure, sorrow, and envy/ when their friend is well and in his welfare/ Therefore, the one who gave this precept/ should have rather commanded us/ to apply ourselves/ to gain many friends/ lest we should happen to love/ one whom we should hate soon after. Scipio thought that if we were not all equally happy with our friends, we would. Rather than suffer it patiently, I think we should establish and consider these as the limits and boundaries of friendship: when the manners of our friends are good, we should commune with them, sharing all our counsels, things, and pleasures without exception. If it happens that their pleasures, which are not always the most beneficial and in which the peril of worship and fame depends, require a friend to keep himself absent, he should do so if he sees that great shame would follow. For though the error of a man may be pardoned in what he does for his friend, a man's own fame should never be forgotten. The benevolence of people must be trusted as a great help for the promotion of things. Yet to obtain the same benevolence through flattery and assent is rightful and shameful. Virtue, which is rare, should not be set aside. Now I turn to another matter. aggain to Scipio, whose speech was all of friendship, for he complained greatly that men were more diligent in all things than in choosing friends. For every man could tell how many sheep and how many goats he had, but how many friends they had, they could not tell. And to get a great number of beasts, they took great labor and pain. But in getting friends, they showed them slow and negligent.\n\nBefore they should buy their beasts, they had certain marks to know whether they were good or not. But in choosing friends, they cannot take such marks to know which to trust and which not. Nevertheless, let us say that those who are steadfast and constant are to be chosen as friends. Of what kind of people there is great scarcity. And it is certainly hard for any man, unless he is experienced, to discern well in such choices. For a man must take experience in the same time of choosing. friendship suffers no such trial / for friendship endures no such attempt / therefore, a wise man should endure the force of benevolence / such as he should use / as he endures his ship to sail / and try the manned in little bondage / how light they are / And some that will not be moved in little things are known in greater / It may happen that some men are found who deem it a foul thing to set more by money / than by friendship / But where shall we find them who set more by worship, governance, sovereignties, power, and possession of goods / than by friendship / So if this thing were set on one side of a man / and friendship on the other side / he who would not choose worship, governance, &c. / rather than such friendship / for truly, nature is too weak to flee the desire for power and worship / and though men sometimes forget friendship to attain greater authority / they think they find a good excuse / while That they may say that they forget not friendship, but for a great and worthy cause. Therefore, there is no doubt of it; it is passing hard to find very friendship in them who are conversant in high courts or in that state public. For where may we find him who will rather put his friend to worship than himself, and set aside all such things? How grievous and how hard it seemed to many to enter friendship with those who are in adversity. Ennis said truly when he said, \"A friend is known in uncertain seasons, but there are two things which prove in many men lightness and uncertainty. And that is when they despise their friend for prosperity or forsake him in adversity. Therefore, whoever can in either of these two things show himself witty, stable, and constant in friendship, we may judge him of that kindred of men. Which is most seldom found. I had almost said that he is come of God's own kind or faith is the foundation or certainty of the stability and constancy that we seek in a friend. Friendship is not stable. For it is convenient to choose a friend who is not deceitful. And those who share prosperity and adversity with him, and can agree with him in living, and who can be mediator for like things as he is, a crooked and variable wit may never be faithful, nor he who is disposed to do such things as his friend is, or has a like disposition in nature. May either be certain or stable. And we may add to this, a friend should not delight in complaints brought to him, or give credence to such as are brought to him. All of which things appear to that constancy which I speak of now. And so it is true that I said at the beginning: How friendship may not be. But between such as are good, it sits well with a good man, whom we may call a wise man, to keep two things in friendship: the first thing is that there is nothing feigned or disguised. For it sits rather with a worthy person. A man should rather show his displeasance and hate openly, than hide it with a subtle look. A man should not only listen to complaints brought to him by his friend but also harbor suspicion towards him. This would make friendship seem hurt or defiled. There should be a manner of sweetness in speech and manners between friends, which makes friendship even more enjoyable. Sorrow and severity should be avoided in friendship. Sorrow brings grief, and friendship should be more cheerful, freer, and sweeter. However, there is a small question here: Should new friends, and those worthy of the name of friendship, be preferred over old friends? We are not accustomed to choosing colts over horses of seven years for our ride, but no man should: Doubt there is not such fullness in friendship as in other things, for friendship fares like wine, which may be kept many years, the more folly that the wine is, the more pleasant it is in drinking. And so it is said, how men may eat many bushels of salt or they perfect or accomplish their duty of friendship. The novelties of friendship should not be forsaken, if they are such, as a man may hope well of. No more than new herbs, which deceive not men of such fruit as they shall bring forth. But the quality of friendship should be kept always in its own place. For the force of Antiquity and custom is always greatest, if nothing lets it, as I made mention right now of the horse, for there is no man who would rather ride upon a horse that is broken and knows his hand on the bridle, than upon that which is not broken or on whose back he came never before. So custom has great strength not only in beasts but also in things which Have no feeling, for we delight in holy places, and those who are set in woods, in which we have long dwelt. But the chief thing in friendship is when he who is in authority likes to make himself equal with his friends. At times, there are certain excellences, such as Scipio had in our company. And yet he placed Philus and Rutility, and Mummyus ever before him, and diverse other of his friends. Who were of lower estate. And he revered Quintus, his oldest brother. Who was nothing like him, as his superior by reason of his age. And he intended to have all his friends in greater reverence and in more ample estate than himself. In which thing, every man follows Scipio, if they have obtained the preeminence of virtue, of nature, or fortune. They should depart it with their friends, and come with those next to them, as if they were born of low kin, or if they had weak friends. Either by means of counsel, or by means of generosity. Encounter they yours, as told in fables, how certain men were received into service - unknown as their birth and kin. And lastly, it was discovered. And they were known as the sons of goddesses and kings. Yet they keep and now their favor and good will towards such shepherds as yet live. And had their fathers died many years past, this thing is much rather done against those who have known and certain fathers. The greatest fruit of natural virtue and all excellence is then taken when it is yielded and departed to them that are next in friendship and good will. And those who are sovereigns in the nearness of friendship and join good will, should make themselves equal to them who are beneath them. So that those who are beneath them have no cause to sorrow that they are overcome by their friends in wisdom, fortune, or estate. Of which for the most part, many complain about such things or obey their friends with them. And so much the rather, they. They think their friends are more bound to them that they can tell how studiously, how friendly and laboriously they have done for them. In truth, it is a hateful manner of men, who delight often in disobeying their friends regarding such things. He who receives such benefits should remember, not he who gave them. Therefore, those who are sovereigns should submit themselves in friendship and, in a manner, exalt those who are lower than themselves. But there are some who make friendship very burdensome. When they believe that men set little value on them, and this does not usually happen, but in those who believe themselves to be of little value. And they should be relieved of this opinion, not only in words but in deeds. We should yield to every friend, first as much as he can sustain and receive, whom we love and wish to help, for we cannot do more than ample acts of service to our friends through our means. As Scipio, who, through his means, could make Publius great. Rutilius could not make his brother Lucius comply, and what if we could do the same to anyone else? It is worth considering whether he can handle it, as the judgment of friendship should always be considered when men's wisdom is at its greatest and most sound. It is not hasty that children, in the tender years of their lives, who have similar courage and disposition for playing at tennis or hunting, are most nearly alike in courage and favor those who share similar desires and studies. Nurses and schoolmasters, due to long-standing service, should not be neglected. But there is a way to cherish them without conforming to their manners, for friendship cannot be stable. For the diversity of manners causes the diversity of loves, as similarity joins friendships, so dissimilarity separates them, and it is for no other reason that good men can never be. Friends with such as are unruly, but for that, there is a great disdain or difference between their manners and studies. It is also a good precept in the law of friendship that no man, by a manner of his intemperate benevolence, lets the great wealth of his friends grow, for if I turn again to fables, Neptune could never have won Troy if he had heard Leucodes, in whose house he was nursed, weeping and laboring to hinder his purposes. For often great things happen and many choose to depart rather than be hindered from their purposes without hearing it from their friends, lest they hear them. They could not say no to their desires. And such a man, whoever he may be, is over free and over soft in nature, and for that reason he is not truly just in friendship. But it is to be considered in every thing, what we ask of our friend and what we are willing to suffer to be asked of ourselves. There is also a certain calamity or obscurity necessary in departing of friendships / But now our speech is and shall fall from the familiarities of wise men to common friendly relationships / The defect of friends becomes apparent and shows itself to those joined to them in friendship as much as to other people in the discord thereof / and redounds not only to those who have the same vices / but also to their friends. Such friendships should be eased little and little by slackness of custom and familiarity / And as I have heard Cato say / they should rather be unripped / than rent asunder / on less than such wrong. So that it should be thought neither reasonable nor worshipful / nor that it might be otherwise / but that the said estrangement and disunion must forthwith be made / But take me now as I said a little before / that I speak not now of the friendships of wise men. but of common friendships / if there are. Such debates, concerning public estate matters, require attention. Friendships should not be set aside, but great enmities should be avoided and quelled. The departure of Scipio from Quintus Pompeius' friendship, due to public estate matters, is an example. Similarly, Scipio's estrangement from Metellus occurred for the same reason. Both occurrences were handled wittily, without sharp authority or personal offense. Therefore, we should be cautious to prevent debates among friends. If such occur, we should labor to quell the friendship softly rather than oppress it. We must beware lest great friendships turn into great enmities. debates cause cursed words and strife. Nevertheless, if they are tolerable, they must be suffered. And we should give this honor to old friendship. He who does wrong should be thought rather to blame than he who suffers it. There is one proof and one means to avoid all such vices and incompatibilities. And that is that we should not be hasty in setting our love, nor love those who are not worthy of love. Worthy of friendship are those in whom there are worthy causes that should make us love them. But they are seldom found, and so are all things that are worthy. And there is nothing more hard to find than that which is perfect in its own kind, in every respect. But for the most part, men like to call nothing good in human things but that which is fruitful. And so they love their friends as they love their beasts, for they suppose they shall have the most fruit from them. They cherish most those they lack the most naturally. And the fairest friendship, which is not to be desired but by itself and for itself, is the very force of friendship, and its quality and quantity, every man loves himself, and looks after no reward for his love, for every man, for his own sake, is enough for him. And unless the same folly and love may be used in friendship, a true friend shall never be found, for he is as though it were another than the same. And if it appears in beasts and birds breeding in the woods, or in the waters, tame or wild, that first they love themselves, for that is a thing innate in every living creature. Secondly, they seek and desire such beasts as they would couple themselves with, and of the same kind. And they do this with great desire and a manner of likeness of the love of men. How much more is it caused by nature in a man, that he should love himself and get another, whose will he should mingle his, that of the two, they should be nearly one / But many men cursefully / I will not shamefully / refuse to have such a friend, / for they cannot be such one themselves. And they desire from their friends such things / as they would not part with themselves / at their friends' desire. It is reasonable that a man first make himself a good man, and then seek another like himself. And in such twos, the stability of friendship that we treated of before may be confirmed, / when men joined to give in benevolence can obtain the sourced of such lusts / as other men are servants to, / and set their joy in equity and justice. Then one shall have of that other, not only what is righteous and worshipful, / but they shall not only worship each other. but with a manner of shamefastness. / for whoever ever takes away shamefastness from friendship / takes away the greatest ornament that friendship has. Therefore, there is great and malicious. error in them/ which think friendship yields freedom and liberty to all lust and since friendship is ordained by nature to be the helper of virtue/ and not the companion to vice/ for solitary virtue cannot attain to such things as are highest. but joined and fellowshipped with other, it might attain. the fellowship, if it be/ was/ or shall be between any men/ that fellowship is to be held and respected best/ and most blessed to bring them to the highest good of nature/ In this I say is the fellowship/ in which all things are/ which men could suppose should be desired/ and that is worship, glory, and these of spirit and joyousness/ And where these things are/ the life is blessed/ And without them it may not be blessed. Then, since it is best and most chief/ if we will attain to them/ We must give ourselves to virtue/ without which we may neither come by friendship nor anything/ that should be of us desired/ for virtue cannot yield/ when he is. Constrained to attempt to change our fortune, therefore we may say that when you have proven, then love, and not when you have loved, then to prove. But since we are punished for our negligence in many things, yet we are chiefly punished for the negligence of the worshipping and loving of our friends in our adverse causes, we use a contrary order. For though we are ensnared by one means or another, either by long familiarity or with the administration of our duties, yet we suddenly break in the midst of our friendships for little offense. And such great negligence in that thing which is most necessary is greatly to be dispised. Friendship is the thing to be set alone in the state of man, and the utility of commerce. Whereof all men are of one opinion, though the same virtue is despised by many who call it a thing set to sale and ostentation. There are many who despise riches and they are such as are content with little. And delight in poverty. Food and pour out arranging, and some despise worship. By the desire of which many men are set, a fire, And such men believe, who despise it, that there is nothing more wavering or more unstable than the same. And so it happens in other things, many men set no price by that which other men make most of. But all men agree in the opinion of friendship, for they who give themselves to that public state, or who delight in the knowledge and doctrine of many things, And they who are busily occupied about their own affairs, If I join them to the remainder, they who give themselves all to lusts and delights, believe and feel that there is no life without friendship, namely, if they will live in any part freely and joyfully. Friendship creeps into the lives of all men, And it suffers no age to be partial to him, Unless one is of sharp or cruel intent and nature. He flees and hates the meeting and fellowship of men. So one did at Athens. A nameless man almost. save that he was Thymo, yet he could not endure but that he must have one to reveal to him the horrors of his sharp life. And this could be proven, if it were possible for God to take us from the conversation of men and set us somewhere in wilderness, and there give us abundance and plenty of all things that nature could desire. And with this, take from us the sight and use of all men. Who could be so hard-hearted that could endure that life, or from whom that being alone should not take the fruit of all pleasure? Therefore, it is truly said that Tarentinus Archita used to say, which our elders were wont to tell us, as they heard tell from their elders: if any man had ascended into heaven and beheld the nature of the world and the beauty of the stars, which thing he had seen in marvel, would not be in any way pleasing to him, if he had none to whom he might disclose that he had seen. Or, to say it differently, if he had been alone. Friends to whom he might disclose it / that should be to him the thing of greatest pleasure. For nature loves nothing that is solitary. For it leans always to some one thing that it will rest upon. And where can it more surely rest / than in that thing which is most friendly to it? But when nature declares by so many signs / what it would have / what it seeks / and what it desires / we grow deaf. I know not how / for we will not hear / when it advertises us. The use of friendship is diverse and manifold, and so there are many causes of suspicion and displeasure which should be avoided / to ease and to bear / is a wise man's part. But there is one manner of displeasure / that should be patiently endured / And that is when one friend, for the profit and faith which should be retained in friendship, suffers a wrong. For friends should often be warned and blamed reasonably. And such warnings and blameings should be taken benevolently and friendly. But I know not / whether it is true / that Terence \"sayth in his comedy named Andria, following plays brings friends and truth hates. Truth is grievous, for of it comes hate, which is the poison of friendship, but following plays brings more grief. One who suffers sin unblamed and makes a man's friend hasten into mischief, but the greatest fault in a man is to despise truth and to be led into deceit by following plays. Therefore diligence and reason are necessary in this matter. First, our advice to our friend should not be bitter, and next, flattery should be without guile. Let us use benignity in following plays, for Terence used the same term. But before all things, let us flee from the acceptance of friendship, which is the promoter of vice, not only for a friend but for every good man to shun it. It is not all one to live with a tyrant and to live with a friend, but close your eyes when it is spoken, your health is at stake.\" It is well known that Cato's words are sharp. Enemies deserve more from some men than those who seem their sweet friends. For the first reason, truth is the primary consideration for most people, and the other never. It is a foul thing for those who are associated with their friends to take less displeasure than they should, rather than taking displeasure when they should lack it. For it does not grieve them that they have sinned, but it greatly grieves them to be blamed for it. It should be otherwise, for they should sorrow for their offense and be glad to be corrected.\n\nIt is proper to friendship to warn and to be warned. He who warns should do so benignly and courteously, not sharply. He who is warned should take it patiently and not obstinately. Therefore, there is not a greater sorrow in friendship than adulation, flattery, and fawning. Look how many names this vice has. It appeals to those who are light and deceivable to say all of them. thing according to pleasure, not to truth, since the discord in all things is vicious. For it takes away and corrupts the judgment of truth. In particular, it is vicious because it is so contrary to true friendship, for it sets one side of truth aside, without which friendship may be of no value. For the strength of friendship lies in the will of one being made of many wills. How can it be so made if one will is not in one man, or always the same, but varied and changeable? What thing is so flexible or so ready to bend as the will of him who is ready to change? Some men will deny this. I deny it too. He says so, I say the same, but what does he mean? I have mastered myself so that I will assent to all things, as Terence says, but I speak this in the person of Enato. It is best to approach friendship in this manner. Such as are light. There are many like Enato when they are in the place of fortune and fame above others, but their ascent is too grueling, particularly when authority is joined with vanity. A flattery friend may be known and understood from a true friend, if a man pays due diligence. All things which are colored and dissimulated may be known from such as are pure and true in counsel. One can easily put a difference between him who is a flatterer and a light citizen, and him who is constant and wise. With what flattery Cicero's Papirius entered our counsel when he brought in the law to renew the tribunes of the people, but we advised against it. Of myself, I will not speak, but of Scipio with a good will. O almighty god, how great wit and how great majesty were in his oration, that men should rather take him for a prince than for a fellow of the people of Rome. You were present, and his oration is in your hands. that law, which should have been made for the favor of the people by their suffrages, was put back, but now to be renewed again, as you may well remember. But Quintius Maximus, brother to Scipio, and Lucius Manilius being consuls. How greatly pleasing seemed the law made by Quintius Culculus Cresus entitled \"de Sacerdotiis\" to the people, in which the reformation of the colleges was brought to the benefit of the people. He first intended to conduct the cause in his favor in the open place, and yet the religion of the immortal gods defending it. I easily overcame his persuasive oration, and this was done while I was praetor, so that the cause was rather defended for its justice than by any high authority. Then, if it is the case that in that place, where our tragedies are played, where counterfeit and colored things have great importance, that which is next to the truth is most praised. If it is shown and represented as it should be, what it is. You should act in friendship, which is apparent through truth. By which friendship, unless you show your breast open and bare to each other, there can be nothing safe and secure between you. Nor can you love truly, nor be truly loved in return. And if you do not understand this truly, take heed. For although the assent to flattery is in itself accursed, it harms no one unless he willingly receives it and delights in it. And it is so that the one who flatters himself is most ready to hear flattery, and takes greatest pleasure in himself. But virtue always loves herself best, and how amiable she is. But I do not speak now of virtue itself, but of the semblance of virtue that is had from virtue, for there are many who set less store by virtue itself than they seem. And when feigned words are applied to their pleasures, they believe that such feigned speeches are sufficient witness to their praises. Therefor between them is no friendship when one will not be true, and the other is ready to believe the merry flattery of the smiling festivities in our commodities, which will not do half well unless there are glorious knights. When one asked if his sovereign could thank him greatly, he answers, \"you passingly great thanks where it should suffice to answer, thank you.\" So the flatterer ever increases that thing which he would have increased for whose pleasure he says it. Therefore, though this sweet vanity be of great force to beg and draw to such people as have pleasure in it, those who are more witty and more constant should be warned that they have themselves in a way, that they not be taken by such wily enticements. There is no man, but he sees openly a flatterer less than he is a fool or willingly so. But let us beware: lest he be subtle and by fair means set upon us, And then he is not passing easy to be known. For sometimes he will traverse a. \"And finally Mannes consents and seems to fight, yet he flatters and in the end will give up his cause and submit to being overcome, so that the one who is mocked may seem more valiant. But what is more cunning than to be mocked? Therefore we should be more careful, lest it happen to us. It was said, I would have seen me before all my friends and before such as love me, men of great worship and age. And how richly I lived among them. But it fares otherwise by this man. As it is said in the fables, the most foolish persons represent old men as lacking sight and quick to believe. But I do not know by what means our speech has fallen from the friendship of such men as are wise. That is to say, I speak of that wisdom which men may attain to, and therefore let us turn again. To the first friendship we spoke of and concluded, I say Eneius Faunius, &\" Quintus Mucius. It is the chief virtue which gains friendships and keeps them, for virtue is the conjunction of things, the stability and constancy. And when she exalts and shows her own light, and when she sees and knows the same in another, she draws it towards her. She takes hold of that which is in another, and love and friendship of such knights of good will is set on fire, for both Love and Friendship are derived from Amor. And what is love, otherwise, but to love those who have no independence, seeking no profit. Though it may flourish and bloom, it causes one to love him because of such friendship. Also, it is caused through our own following of it that young men have loved men who were rightly aged. Lucius Paulus, Marcus Cato, Gaius Gracchus, Publius Nassica, Titus Gracchus, father in law to our Scipio. But friendship shines most brightly among those who are of equal years, as between me and Scipio, Lucius Furius, Publius. Rutilius and Spurius Mumius, as we grow older, we remain in the kindness of those who are favorable to the world. I, for one, delight in the company of Quintus Tubero, who is like a young man. And Publius Rutilius, for it is in accordance with the reason of our nature and life that one age succeeds another. But we should most naturally desire to come after those we were preceded by, at their heels, as it were. But since the affairs of men are fragile and falling apart, we should make an effort to find some such people with whom we could truly love and be truly loved in return. For when love and kindness are taken away from our lives, all joy and comfort depart with it. Scipio, though suddenly taken away from me as if to me he were dead, still lives. He will always live, for I loved the virtue of that man, which cannot be extinguished. I not only have that virtue always before my eyes, which I have always found ready at hand, but also with it the memory of our shared experiences and the bond of our friendship. same is left notable and clear to them that shall come after me, for there shall never man take upon him such great things but that he shall moreover believe, that the remembrance and image of Scipio ought to be called to his mind. Therefore of all things, which fortune or nature hath granted me, I have nothing that I may compare with the friendship of Scipio. For in that friendship I found the comfort of our estate public, and in the same I found always counsel ready for such things as belonged to myself. And in that same I found rest, full of all delight. And I never offended him in so little a thing as could be imagined, as far as I could feel. Nor did I ever hear anything of him that I would not have heard. We dwelt in one house. Our manner of living was all one. In time of war we were to each other's aid. In talking of our dispositions and pilgrimages doing we never disagreed. And what shall I say of our studies, the which we used to know or to learn always something. When we were out of sight of the people, we spent all our voyage times. And if the remembrance and high memory had died with him, I could in no way bear his absence. To whom I was most knitted, and he of me best beloved. But these things are not done, but rather nourished and increased by the thought and remembrance that I have of him. And though all those things were taken away from me, yet my age gives me great comfort. I may not now long live in this desire. All short things, though they be great, they should be tolerable. These things I have had which I might say to you about friendship. Now I exhort you, that you set virtue aside, without which friendship cannot be, except you deem that nothing may be better than friendship.\n\nThus ends this book named Tullius de Amicicia, which treats of friendship uttered and declared by a noble senator of Rome named Cicero to his two sons in law also noble men of Rome named Faunius and Seius. In which they desired This is a hymn to inform you of the friendship between the said Lelius and the noble prince Scipio Africanus. In it, he responds and tells you the noble virtues that exist in friendship. Without virtue, true friendship cannot be. He proves this through many examples and notable conclusions, as clearly expressed earlier in this text. This work was translated by the virtuous and noble lord and Earl, the Earl of Worcester. I beseech Almighty God to have mercy on his soul. And I beseech all of you who shall read or hear this work of yours, to pray for him. Since this book \"De Amicicia\" is necessary and required to be had and known, I have had it printed. May true friendship and virtue be had, increased, and vices be avoided, in every estate and degree. When I had printed the old book, which the said Tully made, it seemed appropriate to me. This book of friendship should follow, as there is nothing better for old age than good and true friendship. These two books mentioned before were of great wisdom and authority. They are beneficial and necessary for every age, estate, and degree, and they increase virtue. I beseech the blessed Trinity to grant and bestow these books upon all who read and hear them. May they flee and shun vices and sins, and through the merits of virtuous and honest actions, may we attain the eternal blessed life in heaven, where there is joy and glory without end. Amen.\n\nWhen Empyreus of Rome was most flourishing, and was in the prime of his strength and power, the fame of one named Fulgeius was spread far and wide for his eagerness for riches, honor, and friendship. He was not only rich in the grace and goodwill of the citizens of Rome, but also of others. gyftes of fortune / And he had by his wyf named Claudea a doughter of surmountyng beaute called and named Lucresse / whiche was thonly hope of his comforte and sustentacion in the yeres of his age / fer besyde her merueyllous beaute. wherin she excelled alle the vyrgyns of Rome in tho dayes / Ther was in her so gre\u2223te attemperau\u0304ce of lyf / with so worshipful conduyt of ma\u00a6ners / so grete force of wisedom / with so plenteuous vnder\u00a6standyng of lectrure / that it shewed her to lacke nothyng / that coude be wylled or wesshed ony worshipful creature to haue of honoure or vertue / Neuertheles emong many that hertly loued her. ther were tweyne in especial. which dayly more & more / brenned in the loue of fayre Lucresse\u00b7 And bytwene them was lytil difference in semelynesse of persone\u00b7 or age. But theyr maners and fortune were gretely different. The one of them and the fyrst was named Publyus Cornelius / of the worshipful hows\nand stocke called Cornelij / And he habounded gretely in the goodes of fortune\u00b7 ffor though He was noble by birth, yet he was greatly endowed with riches. Well furnished was his household, plentifully supplied with servants, and all the apparatus of those days used. And his great study was in hunting, hawking, singing, and disport. The second, who was named Gayus Flamyneus, was born of a lower stock. He had a moderate amount of riches, a reasonable abundance for a household or the adornment of the same. Yet he came from a more worthy and esteemed lineage. Nevertheless, he never slackened in his pursuit of virtue and good manners. His great study was with diligence and industry. Whenever either of them needed his help, he showed himself manly and courageous in times of war, and diligent and laborious in his books in times of peace. Thus, in times of war, he was furnished with counsel, and he counseled nothing but what seemed right to him. A man, just like himself, would participate in life with great excellence in temperance, prudence, and eloquence, beyond his years. It was credible or could be supposed of him in any of his years. Of these noble virtues, he was greatly praised by all the people of Rome. It happened that these two young men met by chance at the house of this Fulgeus. Their intentions and reasons for coming were similar to what was revealed by their opening words. Each of them desired Lucresse, and, understanding their intentions, they went to speak with his daughter to give them an answer. When he had declared to fair Lucresse the honorable desires of these two young and lusty Romans, and had considered that his daughter was in the bloom of her years, She received from her father his admonition that she should consider marriage and set her heart upon one of these two: Publius Cornelius or Gaius Flaminius. First, Lucree, with a shamefaced countenance, when she heard her father's declaration and advice, humbly and womanly showed herself otherwise, but her father charged her so sternly that her excuse in that hour could take no place, nor was any other means available but that she must choose one of these two: that is, either Publius or Gaius. And then, delivering herself to herself, this was her final answer:\n\nRight worshipful father of me, your humble and most obedient daughter, I dare in no way disobey your commandment given to me, on your blessing, I pray you choose for me, and to your son in law, the more noble of both. Upon her answer, great contrariness arose between these two young Romans, and great heartburning, which of them. two should have been counted more noble / And since such things had not been seen before / And because Lucretia's matters were openly published / the matter was brought before the Senate / where either of them had such long turns for their part through speech as seems fitting /\nIt is so, my lady, that Lucretia has led and desired to have the more noble of us two. You fathers, which of you is he who openly understands / how Publius Cornelius Scipio, born and descended from the noble and worshipful blood and house of the Cornelians, must by all reason and right, have and enjoy the glory of this most beautiful choice. Who is he well advised that doubted that / to be nobility, which we take from the stock / of our worthy ancestors / since they left that / to their heirs and successors, as the richest part of their inheritance / for when they have attained the fame of worthy deeds / through them accomplished. and deserved the praise of knightly discipline. ripe manners, Great virtue and high glory have earned an immortal and brilliant name for those who have attained the highest positions and offices of authority in our city. They are truly noble and worthy of great worship. By remembering them, their descendants are not disgraced, if we bring our children into this world as part of our blood, flesh, bones, and body. It necessarily follows that their heirs, as parts of their body, are partners in their glory. And such a part of the glory that they receive, they bequeath to their children, as to the parts of their body. And so, the likeness of the fathers is more clearly shown in the children, by the ordinance and establishment of nature. Sometimes, they are very similar in beauty and appearance. Nothing different can be found in this regard. During a son's life, a father should not be forgotten. Many fathers and children resemble each other in manners, their wits and ways of living being well-nigh conformable. Children are nurtured and raised in their fathers' houses, which instills in them the family's customs. Daily conversation and companionship draw them towards conformity, as it often draws those who are foreign towards the same. Thus, custom and nature have great force and strength in children, impressing it upon them hugely. If the father and mother are vicious, they leave a spot upon all their offspring. Conversely, if they are virtuous, they leave a bright fame, one that cannot be taken away without their merits. I could recall to you many examples if you do not think me long-winded, of those who had worshipful fathers and, for no other reason, became so themselves. Called forthwith the noble who understands the worship of Furius Camillus, / he would not judge his children unnoble and honorable, / since he had delivered the city from the most extreme peril, / out of the hands of our enemies. Alone, he repaired and preserved the welfare of our public affairs. Who is he also, / who will not think the children of Fabius Cato and Emilius worthy of fame and nobility, / since by the virtue of their fathers, the city was set in great worship and security, / and they therefore received their triumphs often. Who is he that will not believe, / that our public welfare is greatly beholden to the children of them, / who put their lives, goods, and all that they had in greatest jeopardy and peril for the same? For if their fathers well and worthily acquitted themselves in that regard, the city flourished in great worship and glory. Therefore, it seems to me, it would be unkind if it would not have the same regard for them. They instituted and established, through their statutes and laws publically, that whoever subdued their enemies, relieved the distressed, or subdued countries to their obedience, should receive, upon their return, the glory that was due to an Emperor with worshipful triumphs openly given. By these triumphs, they should be exalted in worship, like unto a god. Grazen images representing their likeness should be set in the places where the assembly of the people most often and amply gathered. Also, their names, for their perpetual laude, were written in the stone works called the Triumphal Arches. These Triumphal Arches, Romans visited and worshipped on certain days of the year, set by them. Therefore, if such and so great worship was due to the grazen images, The same and greater is due to their children and progeny, for the grave images were but a counterfeit representation of their persons and victories. And in their children, nature has truly entered and shown clearly the same. They are ordered to do great and good service to the public weal, whereas the dead stones may little ease or profit. And their children, calling to mind the noble deeds of their ancestors, may be set to follow them, so that they should do many things beneficial and commodious for our estate public. And they set aside many things noisome and perilous for the same. And therefore, frequently, for the reward of their fathers' merits, our citizens have given to them diverse offices of great authority and worship. Furthermore, there is no wise man who understands himself near his days and time of death. He charges so greatly of anything earthly that he shall leave his children. To live worshipfully after their discourse, not in their age when they cannot understand. Anything more pleasant or joyous to them than if their children, by their virtues, are called to estate and worship. We see also that the chief of their thought and pleasure is upon their children. And some think they cannot age nor grow old while their children live, nor be unforsaken by humanity. As long as their children enjoy it, which premises prove that the love of fathers, among all the desires of mortal men, cannot rest so greatly in one thing as in their children. If it is so that the principal thought of the fathers, both first and last, rests in their children and for them they have their pleasure and care. The sequence is upon this: they must think chiefly that it be kept and held to the children of theirs - I mean of those fathers - who have so merited thanks and laude for the same city. And Furthermore, show great respect and honor to them, at the reverence of their fathers, and use and exercise that kindness in them. Wherein they were unable to repay the merits to their said fathers while they lived, Therefore, it seems to me, this is the highest part of nobility. To come from their ancestors. From whom they may recall and remember the noble deeds, many times worshipfully achieved and truly and without color, And for their benefits, their issue may rightfully desire. And by title of inheritance challenge the offices of estate and worship in this city or any other place, And remember themselves how they are true parties of those bodies which have been so worshipful. The likeness, image, and print after them, Who is he that would not judge them noble, namely when all men are of the same openness? Parde the common people. Call them only noble, which are descended from noble Ancestry. Furthermore, it is true that the abundance of riches greatly embellishes. The nobility, through wealth, have treated their servants and all others more generously and pleasantly. Things also possessed externally and caused by foreign sources have been better maintained and served. Friendship and attendance of neighbors is purchased through this means. Who is he that can think he should help his friends in their time of need, who cannot relieve his own necessities? Therefore, I believe the chief and highest part of nobility lies in liberality. He pays himself vainly to exercise liberality towards others, who have nothing to use it for himself. It is then necessary that he who will be liberal has wealth. Then his nobility will show itself brightly through liberality. And the lustrous brightness of many noble and chosen men has been darkened and concealed when they lack that which they should be liberal with. How many noble and chosen men have there been, that When they have been brought to the point of poverty / have been held and taken for vile / And of no esteem. How many high and noble men have died unknown for lack of good fortune / whose virtue could not conduct them to the favor of princes / because they lacked that which was necessary for their sustenance. Abundance of good is a great and assured help / to the display / and setting out of the works of nobility / by which the courage may be enforced with great hardiness. And the virtue of nobility may more clearly appear. And if nobility rests in blood and riches, as it must needs. Which of you is it, father, who questions my blood and my ancestors / that doubts my challenge to be one of the most noble of this city / for who is he that has fought more manfully / for our estate is public / than my ancestors / Or where may be found among us, that has put himself in greater danger for the same / Or by greater force. and virtue has kept this city from peril and disgrace, likely to have fallen to the same fate / where can you remember anyone who has subdued as much of this world as my ancestors have / for one of them, when he had chastised the proud courage of the kings of Asia and diverse other nations, deserved the name of Asia to be joined to his name for a perpetual memory of his victory / Another of them, in the time when Italy labored under the cruel force of our enemies, neither sparing to burn, slay, and waste all the countries around, I mean after the great battle of Gues, delivered the city all occupied with weeping, wailing, and despair, by the persuasive powers of Hannibal, then our enemy, considering with his daily victories, embraced Hannibal from our bonds of Italy into his own country. There he put him to perpetual rebuke, and subdued the esteemed city of Carthage, which had always hated us. \"obsequious / by the victory he merited the name of Africa to be joined with his / And since the third Scipio, in the time of the rebels of Carthage, when he had leveled and built walls and structures even with the ground, the said name of Africa. he and his successors enjoyed as a surname where they were ennobled / I pass over to speak of others. By whose virtue and glory this city was sovereignly praised and revered. For if I would recount to you the worshipful deeds and acts of each of my ancestors, I would perhaps occupy you for a long time, and I would not understand myself when I should make an end. And I may much more readily and willingly, in this dwelling, put myself to silence. Since their famous deeds are not necessarily known to you all / for where is the place in this city that is void / of the triumphal recording of my ancestors / or where is that temple / that is not adorned with the rich spoils of their victories / what sacred\" places where we see here the picturing or grinding of their images is not, and they are such, and great remembrances of their nobility, as is evident for any mortal man to will or desire, which is clearly proven in how great a nobility of blood I am inherited, for I bear in me the very image of them. For whoever knew them, and now sees me, may not fail to call them to mind. I am he that represented their blood, their members, and their shape in this body which I bear about me. Of them I came, in their houses I was nourished, and with them I dwelt until I reached the years of my strength. And so I am descended from the lineage of their nobility, which in no way can be taken from me. And if this city is in debt to them, for their benefits, I must necessarily claim, as their heir, part of the same debt. And it seems to me I may challenge you, worthy fathers, for the offices of worship that shall fall into your hands. For I believe there were never any. more worshipful than my ancestors, who left me great plenteousness of nobleness and riches, as any person could will or desire. For my father left to me fair and stately places, well and plentifully furnished with all manner of things which should be long to them. So that when they are adorned and hung with such stuff as he left me, there is a full lively difference between the palaces of kings and my buildings. I have then without the suburbs, places of disport as lustily and pleasantly built, as can be devised. Besides that, I have in champagne forty-five fertile fields. rich possessions and fair villages, which are able to receive not only a great household, but a great host. And furnish them abundantly with all manner of victuals. What household I keep and how it is seen, all the people of this city know well enough, for I have so great a plenteousness of the gifts of fortune, and of my worshipful progenitors, that I dare say, so that A man should not be displeased that few reside in this city in birth and riches who excel me. Then let Gaius Flamminius keep silent, and in this strife of nobility, or in the desire for fair Lucresse, since in birth and riches he may not challenge any part of nobility. Namely, since it is unknown to us all from where he comes. And whether he has any little piece of land to build a coat or lodge. Therefore, I ask this fair lady, who is to be married, that has chosen me, since I am more noble than Flamminius. And therefore I have most deserved to be perpetual servant to her most beautiful grace during my life. And you, my lady Lucresse, have a great cause to be truly glad and thank our God heartily, who has endowed you with such great wisdom and grace. For you could not have chosen a more faithful, more obedient servant, nor one who loves you more heartily, nor one with whom you should spend your years more prosperously. I will bring you to my lodging where you shall see elegant bygdings of hall and chambers suitable for a king. Next, you shall see the chamber of pleasure with rich and playful beds and hangings. Also, you will find rich pieces of clothing of gold and silk for your attire, and you may choose as much as pleases you from them. You will not be disturbed by common labors. You will lead your life with pleasant idleness, and you will not need to worry about how you will get money to live at your leisure. As it best pleases you. And you shall not need to think about anything but how you will be merry in singing, dancing, hunting, hawking, and such other pastimes of pleasure. And you shall have such gentle women to be partners of your pleasures as you will choose, and other maidens who will be ready to obey your commands. There shall be no day passing you by that you will not have some pastime of pleasure. I will ensure that you pass the nights merrily. And Flammineus could poorly promise you these things, since he is of such power that he lacks all these for himself. And with him, you should lead a wretched and laborious life, for instead of elegant and pleasurable beds and hangings, you will find in his house such things as they use on the land. And instead of pleasurable idleness, you will find painful busyness. Instead of rest, labor, and instead of sleep, watchfulness. No day should pass you by far without labor and occupation. Who is he, therefore, that supposes otherwise, that fair Lucresse would have me as her servant, when she chooses the more noble of us two? Madame, you speak more openly and discreetly in this, unless you had named me by name. You expressed your desire for Cornelius, you said, you desire the more noble of them two. It would be overly foolish to think otherwise. He who would live, that you would forsake rest and choose painful businesses, therefore, fathers, compose an accordant sentence in this matter. Thus ends the Oration of Cornelius Scipio. Worshipful fathers, since I am compelled to speak for my part of nobleness, it seems to me I have a very great grace to have you as my judges. Who are most noble and endowed with most assured courage; there is nowhere to be found one who uses nobleness so perfectly. It is a thing of great comfort and joy to my sovereign, when I remember you full of equity and rightly knowing things with a customed use of virtue. Then I shall not more suffer from you any wrong or say anything unknown to you or remember any virtue that you do not use yourself. In this controversy, fathers, it is to give more sad and quick audience than in any other private states, for this is a judgment that shall. This text concerns two citizens, or one particular person. It is a thing that touches all people and shall be remembered throughout the world. It will be known as the eternal law of the sacred Roman Senate. You may see this day how all the people of Rome are present and lying in wait on your judgment. And you may behold the sight and gaze of your fellow citizens and foreigners fixed upon you. It is not only comfortable for them to understand which of us two will have fair Lucresse, but which of us should be deemed more noble. Therefore, I exhort your great wisdom to decide the matter, for justice must be tended and kept in every matter. Yet it is most important and necessary to consider how it should be used in high and great matters. I beseech you to pardon my great humanity and nobility, though I speak more sharply in this matter than I have been accustomed before. this is my own herald, not intending to speak ill of any other person without great cause, since I know well the first proceeds from an immoderate temper and the second from an impatient heart. Nevertheless, I am compelled to the first, as I must defend my own nobles, and to the second, as I am compelled by Cornelius' surly behavior and disrespectful language towards me. He tempts my kindness with his sharp words, and yet he gave me great help and support in my cause, enabling me to rebuke and repress his lack of shamefastness. You have understood the playful behavior of noble Lucresse regarding our choices. And how Cornelius has dared to describe nobility and set it in blood and riches, and thus prove that he is more noble than I. Furthermore, he told of the worshipful deeds of his ancestors and the great riches and honor his father left to him. It is true that The substance of his speech rests in this: but he could remember nothing of himself, having done anything worthy or fitting for recall. And therefore he uttered nothing of his own life and manners. And indeed I believe that nobility does not reside in the glory of another or in the fleeting goods of fortune, but in a man's own virtue and glory, for what is nobility other than a certain excellence in virtue and manhood that makes one man worthy to be preferred to another. For just as man excels all other beasts, not for his strength but for his reason, so by the virtue that one man has, which another does not, he excels him. For when a man has been exercised in the crafts of greatest nobility, that is to say, in justice, pity, constancy, magnanimity, and prudence, deserving a fame of excellence in them, and has quitted himself well to the gods Immortal, to his father and mother, to his friends, kin, and country. nourished and brought up in the doctrine of literature, then, in my opinion, he should be called and reputed more noble, worshipful, and famous than another, as Cornelius himself said a little before. When he spoke of his own manners, and on the other side, he who is corrupt with cursed crafts. And he turns himself to cruelty, recklessness, cowardice, dissembling, and injustice, and gives no strength of Religion, nor of the good will of his friends, or does not use pity for his father and mother in their need. In my opinion, he should be judged by all men a wretch, vile, shameful, and worthy to be set aside from all good company. It is not the habit of Riches nor the nobleness of birth that can give or take away nobleness from any person. For the courage of man is the true resting place of nobleness, which divine nature, Temperance of all things here below, has ordained and established to have chief preeminence in the life of man. Endow it equally in all men mortal, from the first day of their birth. And she never joined it to the inheritance of possessions, for she will be at her liberty and freedom thereby, to give it to whom she likes best. And likewise, as a glass or a mirror well made, she shows the figure set before it, if it is fair, fairer, and if it is foul, fouler. So the courage which is pure and free is disposed to take nobility or nobility indifferently. And there should be no man accuse the largesse of nature in this most best and excellent gift of freedom. For she gives to every man a like courage, and takes no heed of their kin power or riches, for there is no man so needy, so vile, nor so little set aside, but when he is brought into this world, he is endowed with as good courage as the son of an emperor or king. And as apt to virtue and manhood and perfection in this cause. I shall not need to give many examples. What shall I say of them that have been born of simple? And low-born kin, who have grown to great esteem. Of whom there comes such great numbers to my mind that this day is too short for me to recount the lesser part of them. Nevertheless, I shall recount a few, beginning with Tullius Ostilius. Born in a simple cottage, he had a poor and wretched father and mother, and few knew their names. And the said Tullius was a herdsman and tended livestock. Yet he grew so wise and virtuous that at last, he obtained the greatest authority and dignity in this city. He enlarged the same city and subdued the Veientes and the Fidenates, our greatest enemies, and brought them to our obedience.\n\nServius Tullius, born of humble stock, attained the highest governance of this city, and conducted himself so nobly therein that he made the Sabines, your subjects, submit to him three times and received his triumph. Furthermore, he annexed to this city three hills.\n\nMarcus Porcius Cato was born in such circumstances. Another man of the Cote, much like Tullius Hostilius. He was of such great dignity and authority that he surpassed all others in his day. He was a right noble and necessary man to our community. In his time, he was a worthy knight and a true clerk. The citizens held him in great reverence, and through his wisdom, he increased the number of senators and graced the majesty of the Senate with his presence. Everyone knows how Marius was born in the wild field. His father and mother were so poor and humble that they had no means of their own. Yet, in great virtue and excellent manhood, he flourished. You all know how he was first in the battle against Jugurtha under his master Metellus. At that time, Jugurtha was the Roman quaestor whom Marius succeeded in his office of Consul. Marius distinguished himself so well in the said battle that he put Jugurtha to flight, along with King Bocchus of Mauretania, who came with a great army at that time. mul\u2223titude of people to socoure and enforce Iugurtha. And whan he had put hym to flyght / he wan many cas\u2223tellys and fortresses. And atte laste toke the said Iu\u2223gurtha / and brought hym afore his chare to rome / And there receyued his tryumphe. with right grete glorye. Aftir that whan the peple whiche were called Symbry\u2223anes had wonne the felde of the Romaynes. whiche ma\u2223de alle the cyte to tremble and quake for feere / in lyke wise as they dyde in tyme of Hanybal / Thenne Mari\u2223us was chosen to be the Capetayn of the felde made a\u2223gayn the sayd Symbryanes / where he had the victorye And delyuerd the cyte fro feere and peryll / And therfor he receyued his seconde tryumphe / Socrates also which was the veray myrrour of the wisedom of man / whos doc\u00a6tryne hath enlumyned alle the scoles of philosophers / whiche was also the wysest and cunnyngest of all mor\u2223tal men / as grete Appollo bereth witnesse / He had to his Moder a mydwyf / And to his fader a Marbyler / Eurypydes also whiche excellyd in his tyme alle other / In writing of Tragedies, and Demosthenes, the most eloquent Orator of the Greeks, were born of humble and simple stock. And who is he that would or dares call them unnoble? It must be granted that either there is no nobility among mortal men, or if there is, it resides in such persons as wisdom, force, manhood, foresight, and true virtue make them flourish above all others. And Cornelius, you know well yourself, how unlike you are to my ancestors in every respect concerning worship and exercises of manhood. This proves the contrary of what you have said, that nobility is not tied to blood but to true virtue. Those who before are remembered should never otherwise be called noble, who have been of simple and low birth. And many who have come from worshipful ancestors that deserved it not by their merits, not only lost their name of nobility, but over that, were called. shameful and abominable creatures, I shall recount some of your kindred, beginning with Scipio Africanus' son. This man shamed and disgraced the vigorous and virtuous reputation of his father not little with his cowardice and folly. When he was distressed and taken captive by the king of Ancyra, he knelt before him, weeping like a child, and begged for his life. Scipio also, when he had not obtained the office of praetor through his merits but through the labor of Cicero, his father's scribe, was so glad that his friends and kin were pleased that they said they had heard nothing of longer duration before, which weighed heavily upon them. Understanding his cowardice and folly, they feared lest he would bring shame upon the public esteem of this city or the worthy fame of his immediate ancestors, or disgraced himself among them, and he was never allowed to sit in his place attached to his office. ne to gyue ony Iuge\u2223ment in ony cause / Also Publius of the same stocke\nwhan he was named Consull / And sente forth ageynst Iugurtha that had slayn Hatherbal and yempsal the sones of kyng Mysipha / whiche were euir frendely. and welewyllers / to the Romaynes / And therfore the said Publius was commaunded to take vengeance of theyr dedes / he ledde his hoost so rechelesly / that oure people were neuir more wretchidly and perylously conduyted. And atte laste he was corrupt with good whiche he receyued of Iugurtha / And therfor he made with hym an ouer sha\u2223meful peas. whiche was aftir refused. and vtterly despi\u2223sed of the Senate. And hym self therfore discharged of his offyce / to his grettest rebuke & shame. where may ony thyng more vnworshipful / I shold saye more shameful be tolde or reherced of ony man / And what shal I saye of the moost graceles yong man named Lucius Fabius Maximus sone of Allobrogus. his faders worship halpe hym not. whan he was knowen of so vicious and wretchid lyf / But Quintus Pompeus that time, the prior of this city banished him perpetually from Rome. What shall I say further about Quintus Ortencius, a man of great authority in this City, who was finally led by evil companions to the point where he was not able to openly visit the brothels with common women? How do you suppose yourself, Cornelius. Should we consider them noble whom we have recounted, whose lives were so wretched and filled with folly? If they had preached about the noble deeds and acts of their ancestors, or if they had displayed or painted images of them in triumphal or sacred places, would you still consider them noble while they were so vicious? It seems better for their own pleasure and worship to keep silence than to speak anything about their progenitors, for there is no man but They would think it more blameworthy of them that, when they had such a worthy example set before their eyes, they shamefully and wretchedly forsook following it. And it seems to me that their fathers had never done so much for the public welfare of this City. It should in no way be a debt to their children, who are in reverse conditions, for they, just like their fathers, have defiled and disgraced the same. Their fathers set our city in honor and security, and every day they put it in peril and uncertainty. Their fathers, through their virtue and strength, delivered our city when it stood in great jeopardy and peril. And when it was in greatest peace and rest, they have set it in great trouble and disorder. What more could such men claim by their merit or desert in our city, when it would have been good for the same reason for them to have seen it, and never to have begotten them, especially when their said fathers preferred the public welfare of our city above their own lives. If their fathers had been alive and had known of their vices, they would have judged them according to their deserts to great torments, death, or perpetual exile, for many similar young men of such manners have been condemned by judgement, like Brucius. For when he understood that his sons had conspired against our public weal, he first had them scourged with rods and afterwards beheaded. Cassius also made his son, who had rebelled against the Roman empire, taken, and forthwith sent him severely scourged to the Senate, there by judgement to receive his death. Likewise, Maucius Torquatus, one of the most noble citizens we have had, when his son had completed a debt, took upon himself the examination of the father, and when he understood his son truly accused, he gave his sentence in this way: Since it is so, that my son has robbed this city of so much money and greatly disgraced me and all his family. Children. By the breaking of his faith and promise, I judge him unworthy to enter his father's house or to receive any benefit from our estate public, or to come in the company of any worshipful citizen. Those who are not like their fathers in virtue should not be like them in any reward given by our estate public. For just as a figure does not appear in a dark glass or mirror, so the children who are vicious cannot display the virtue of their father. Therefore, Cornely, you have a vain supposition when you believe that the glory and nobility of the fathers must be left to the children as an inheritance. And all this boast that you make of your kin. It sows much rather for their lord and worship than for you. And though children have blood and all the appurtenances belonging to the body of their fathers, yet the true nobility, which rests in the spirit and courage, cannot be had without it. mannes owen laboure and deserte / And where as thou sayst that lettred persones calle theym properly gentylmen whiche ben descended of noble kynne. fforsothe I holde wel with that / so they be lyke in suche vertues / as haue caused theyr forfaders to be callyd noble / And as for thy self / yf thou chalenge it by that title / Amende thy maners / or gyue ouer thy cause / But I trowe bet\u2223ter that persones wel lettred wil rather note them / which ben them self cowardes. and haue more manly for\u00a6faders with degeneracion / than noblenesse / Syth that they be soo different in maners fro theyr kynne / It is dayly thyng of experyence. that maAnd many a wy\u2223se man hath had fonnyssh Chylderen / And many a vertuous man. chylderen vicyous / And there thou leyest the vulgar oppynyon for thyn auctour.

But now late vs descende to that pouerte / that they whiche be Noble or gentlemen have frequently fallen short where there was no pourer. Among them was Marcus Agrippa, who was exceptionally excellent and necessary for our public affairs at that time. In such a case, when every man was taxed at a certain rate, there was nothing found in his patrimony that could relieve or augment our common treasure, except for Valerius Publicola, who had quit him so notably often and many times for our public estate. Dying in such poverty, he left nothing with which he could be entered. Instead, the people were forced to bury him at their own cost and charge. And how the people of this city called Lucius Cinna from tilling and sowing his land to the highest Empire, it is easy to remember. The said Lucius proved himself of such virtue and courage. Then, when the Palatines had besieged this city, he not only broke the siege and chased them to the Alba flood. But over that, he won and subdued each great city, which were the chief. helpers and courageous of theirs in their wars / And all this victory he achieved and perfected in twenty days / And how glorious was the power of Atilius Seranus / whom when the Senate had called from his plow to the office of consul / he acquitted himself with great vigor / that he distressed their enemies and set them in safety. But yet that did not withstand. The dignity of the office which bore the pleasures of this city / nor the riches or worship which he gained in our wars / could not prevent him / but that he would return to his first labor / and them which were so worthy in martial discipline / and so virtuous in living / shall we call unnoble or wretched? Is there any man so destitute of reason / that will call them / but most noble / who have cultivated our public welfare always in nobility. It seems to me this example is sufficient / to prove / that nobility can be joined with poverty / and poverty with nobility / Let no man believe otherwise. But that a poor man, who has worshipful manners and\n\n(Note: The text appears to be in Early Modern English. No significant OCR errors were detected.) virtuous deceased should more properly be called noble, and among these I have recounted: those who acquitted themselves so manfully and assuredly for the public good, friends and kin, when they had the greatest need of comfort and support, were not these people liberal and worthy of being prayed for in the highest degree of liberality? When they left all their own pleasures and profits to do their service for the common weal, I believe it was a greater liberality to give to their city the freedom, which was taken from it and delivered their kin and friends from all peril and oppression. Wrongdoing and tyranny are less a sign of liberality than if they had given away their entire patrimony to the liberal. When he uses his diligence and devotion to promote his city, kin, or friends, Cornelius the liberality of a worthy poor man may be great and such that poverty may not diminish the virtue of nobleness. Honest poverty may take away no part of virtue. Was it not Not the fairest gift and richest liberality of nature gives every man power and ability to be virtuous. And therefore she has placed it in the inward places of the spirit, not in the foolhardiness of fortune. And there is no happiness so hardy and so capricious that it may take root from him, who is well willing to keep it, nor is there any happiness so marvelous or pleasant that can bring worship to him who is reckless or a coward. If fortune had sovereignty above virtue, within a while there would be no virtue or any merit of virtue, for the choice of things to be worthy of perfection would much rather rest in fortune than in the dispositions of our free wills. Therefore, Cornelius says of that opinion, that is to say, to believe that virtue, liberality, and nobleness should have their first course or beginning in the bondage of riches. For then it would follow that however worshipful a person were, whenever he fell from riches, his name would be forgotten. Worship should cease, and the contrary is true, for what is true worship or nobleness is not subject to fortune or happiness. Those men whom I have recalled before, whose power attended them, should never have ascended so high in honor nor have merited such fame of worship as they did. And therefore, if worshipful progenitors had had worshipful children, and if their progenitors had had worshipful children, and if remarkable and great virtue had rested in those who have been truly poor, the consequence is to your wisdoms manifold. Which is this: nobleness rests neither in riches nor in blood, but in a free and noble courage, which is neither servant to vice nor uncleanness, but is exercised in knowledge and virtue. And he who is endowed with such courage deserves best to be called noble, worshipful, and excellent. Therefore, in this controversy of nobleness between me and my fellow, I seem he should best deserve the palm. victory/ One who may prove himself most virtuous and worshipful, fathers, I have preferred in this place to have one other speak for me rather than speak myself, lest I speak anything displeasing to my lord and be puffed up with the vice of pride. Nevertheless, it is joyous to me alone when I behold your most righteous courage and most benevolent humanity. For I well know, I shall not speak anything in praise of myself untruly, but you will understand it well enough. And this, that I shall say truly about myself, shall not hurt me in your conceits, I trust you know both our lives and manners well enough. Howsoever, I shall remember your wisdoms and accustomed benevolence, what my life has been since my first years. Forsooth, when I was very young, I was set to school, and when I grew more ripe of years, I took great pleasure in spending my time in the study of philosophy. And it seems to me I could not have spent it better or more worshipfully, and to my. I had masters who understood both Greek and Latin, and for certain years I resided in Athens to hear the Greeks, the princes of eloquence and philosophy. I report to the judgment of those who are proficient in that tongue, for I may say this much of myself: there was no day that passed me by idly, nor night without study and learning of something. The high desire to have knowledge of things was granted to me; for it seemed to me that my mind was never appeased unless it had acquired some new knowledge. And of the true nature of things, I had many masters and teachers, and many learners with me. Among the wisdom of so many, no man was left an idle one. I was so accustomed to the doctrine of virtue in my youth that there is no place in my character for vicious desires; for vices are to me as noxious, displeasing, and grievous as they may be. And virtues are as pleasant. I yielded and accepted as I may have, but after that, when I remembered myself, every man who possesses virtue or knowledge is bound to serve the public estate. I gave myself wholly and fully to the public weal of this city, and when I had done so, I never ceased to think about its welfare and increase. Fearing no danger or labor, I never spared myself in this regard. For a few years had passed since our seas were occupied and infested with pirates. And Gaius Flammineus Publius, a man of great esteem, had taken upon himself the charge of your navy and ships. He had entrusted to my governance ten ships of the fleet to fight against one of the rovers called Horantes. It happened that I met him, and boarded the same ship on which he was himself. And yet, he resisted manfully and with great force, trusting in the multitude of his ships and men. I overcame him and brought him and all his navy to my possession. I was a knight in the service of Emperor Metridates, and in the battle, I often received the round crown given to the knight who displayed himself most courageously and manfully. I reported this to my emperor and lord. What honor can be gained in the office or dignity of a consul by the merits of knightly discipline that I have not had? I trust in our gods that I will not be counted among those who have done nothing for the public good in my old age. May I be friends with you, my dearest friends, who are here present now, and can bear witness to this. I have always been ready to fulfill your noble desires, both in public and private matters. I believe I was never strange to do for you what lay in my power. And by what faith, pity, and love, I have been. To you all know well. Great grace and fortune I have received from our goddess to have such great benevolence and friendlyness from all people. For there is no man in this city, nor in all the world, who has cause to hate me, if he is not an enemy to our common weal. Yet some of all my labors have rested in this, to be a curious seeker for our public merrymaking, laborious outward, busy at home. Eager to attain knowledge, pitiful towards those in need, namely to my father, mother, and kin. Well-beloved of my neighbors, true to my friends, obedient and devout in religious matters. By these means I have judged myself to attain the best nobility, and I have believed\nby these virtues to polish my courage. And to make it more worshipful than thou, what are thy conditions, or what is thy disposition? Where didst thou ever do anything in thy days, that thou canst recall or challenge worship or nobility, where our city ever received any benefit from thee. You are born among us in this world, for you live among us here, more like a dead man than alive. Where is there ever a man who has helped or relieved you? Where have you used your nobility and liberality, which you speak of? Perhaps you have been prodigal to wanton and shameless creatures, and thereby wasted your hours, your apparel, and all your goods. You think yourself passing worshipful when you have all your loves about you, japing, raging, and wrestling with them in your drunkenness. And then to preach of the noble deeds of your ancestors, I will not say no, but confess that your ancestors have had sovereign authority and worship in this city. And you, the unwise man, to your great shame, when you remember your own sloth and simplicity, there is nothing more detestable or unworthy than this. For where your ancestors shone in worship. Bright Phoebus, showing the way to thee, by their clarity, the straight high way to the same, to lead so dark and so blind a life as you do. For they gave to you a most worshipful example in many and diverse ways. How you should more deserve the great reward and thanks of the state.\n\nAnd by their brightness, they showed to thee, the true path to noblesse, As if they should say, \"this way we have held,\" and it is easy enough for thee to follow us. And thou hast forsaken the bright path which leads to worship, and hast wilfully drowned thyself in the dark pit of forgetfulness.\n\nDost thou think to flourish in our city by thy merits? When thou thyself hast defiled the same with thy vices. And dost thou think to attain worship through their benefactions, when thou doest nothing well to our city? Supposest thou with thy sleep, idleness, wine, gluttony, and unshamefastness, to get that worshipful fame which they gained by their laborious watches, continencies, hunger, thirst, and heat. \"You are greatly in error if you think that to achieve such title of fame as they had, you must put yourself in the same conditions and manners as they were. Virtue is not an inherent thing, and therefore try to find such reason and wisdom as they used. In their bequest, you will not find that they bequeathed to their virtue. You say that there was nothing more pleasant to them in their last days than to understand. And indeed, I believe that if they could come from the places where they are, there would be nothing more grievous or loathsome to their glorious spirits than to understand that our city has long suffered their errors and vices unpunished. And I dare say, if they were alive, they would be the first to punish the offenders, either with death or with exile. O good god, are not you?\" You are shamefully living in a way that makes it hard for me to believe you were raised among them, when you yourself live so disgracefully. You claim to represent their images and likenesses, yet you know full well that your behavior exceeds their worth. I would like to know how an image can be seen in a mirror that is all rusted. You boast of your nobility with your stately buildings, fair places, rich villages, and pleasant fields, and despise my mean sustenance in building, living, and honest poverty. But you fail to understand how greatly your wealth, which you have, is to your shame. On the contrary, I have found greater worship in little poverty to live piously, than in great abundance to live prodigally, disorderly, and shamefully. Perhaps I have had as much worship from knightly lords. I in this city live, as I could desire or could, And I live so after my decease, that I trust to continue my life Without lack of that which shall suffice me. And for the cause I desire no more Than that suffices, I hold myself well content With that I have, And it is enough for me to have that I desire. And to covet that, Which is reasonable. Whoever covets more Exceeds the bounds of reason, What could we desire more While we live here, Than to live worshipfully? No doubt of this, whoever heaps up riches, Trusting thereby to satisfy all his desires, Is but vainly occupied. For virtue and measure ought to suffice in every thing, And noble courage can ascend to worship with little help of riches. But a wretched courage can never ascend to worship. Though it be helped with never so great plenty of riches, Let no man fear to use virtue when he lacks good, It is no pain to him who is well-willing to do some thing well, And he that is not noble may accuse none but himself. We frequently complain about fortune, Cornelius, and therefore you cease your boast of riches. This reveals more cowardice than manhood. And cease to despise my mean sufficiency of goods. And cease to set noblesse in the goods of fortune, which are but fleeting and unstable. Noblesse should be joined with virtue. Lady Lucresse, who excels all others of this age in wisdom and beauty, knows this well. What true noblesse is, and by your great wisdom you have attained to the same. I am well aware of the vulgar plays, the wanton array of women, the rich oches set with precious stones, the clothes of gold, the daily dawning and singing, are not the things that please you most. For you know that all these things are but subjects and servants to vicious and dishonest things. You have given your life to philosophy, liberal studies, continence, labor, shamefastness, and virtuous busyness. And in thief, you excel all others in this year in this respect. And these are the things I love about you in particular, for which I shall pay to please you and serve you. There is nothing better coupled than such things as are like in the noble desires of virtue and goodwill, and like manners and dispositions of living. And there is nothing more grievous and discordant to love than when one desires virtue, and another desires vice. Therefore, while I have some convenience with your manner of living in virtue, Cornelius in every way differs. It must needs show that you do not love him but love me. For what pleasure should you have to live with him when you are disposed to the virtuous pursuit of study? And he is the greatest enemy that science has. And when you would feign to attend to it, he, in his drunkenness, with his stumbling youth and pretty face, should let you. You would be glad to see your house flourish in shamefastness and honesty. He would be glad on the other hand. Side / to see it, a servant to fleshly lust and rote. You would be glad to speak with sad and witty persons. And they demanded of them the marvelous causes of things, of the moving of the planets. And the discrepancy of manners. And he, among his company of women, would boast of rote, uncleanness, and folly. And how may there be rest or accord between such great Courages which are so greatly different? But my lady Lucresse. If it pleases you, I shall bring you to my poor lodging where you shall find quiet rest. And how is it that, if it is not seen superfluously as Cornelius is, yet I trust you shall find it better furnished with virtue, manners, and such pleasures as your most womanly Courage delights in. And first, I shall show you my library, well-stocked with fair books of Greek and Latin. Whereunto, in every adversity, is my chief resort for counsel and comfort. And there, we shall have diverse times communication of the knowledge and doctrine of my lady and mistress. Philosophy / And there I shall repeat to you the marvelous doctrine of the philosophers of Athens, which I have heard and enjoyed greatly when I remember it, without any concern for familiar things. Depart from such pleasant idleness. For I trust in our goddesses that my little feeling, which I am enchanted by Cornelius, will be sufficient for our daily living. Nevertheless, one thing I have against him, for though my little feeling were taken away from me, my learning and literature would enable me to attain greater possessions. During my life, what I live cannot be taken from me. As for you, madam, it shall be in your free choice whether you will be idle or study. And if it pleases you to study, there shall be none so bold to disturb your pleasant thoughts in that place. Nor shall any chattering or entanglement of unchaste women hinder your study or cause you to fear. Of the stable love of your true servant. And the cause of our marriage shall be... with joyous love be had to your pleasure, I trust in our god that the order of matrimony is as it were a divine religion for the conservation of mankind. If it pleases you to attend to this matter in such a way as I have said, I trust that you will think yourself ever after during your life more and more fortunate, for what may be more blessed in this temporal life for you than to pass your age in tranquil joyousness, virtue, and noble form? And what is more virtuous than to occupy your mind with good and virtuous thoughts, and what is more joyous than to take him for your perpetual servant who solely delights in that which you chiefly desire? Therefore, you fathers convene, in whose great wisdom rests the judgment and conclusion of this controversy. Weigh in your breasts what I have said, and publicly and swiftly publish your sentence concerning this contention. We strive for nobility, and which of us two should be reputed the more noble. This day, honesty struts with shamelessness, continuance with lust, magnanimity with cowardice, literature with unknowing. And of these parties, which is the better, I leave it to your judgment and sentence.\n\nThus ends the speech of Gaius Flamminius.\n\nRegarding the sentence given by the Senate after these two noble knights had proposed and presented their speeches, I find none pronounced or mentioned in my author's book. Then I would ask those who read or hear this book, which of these two - Cornelius Scipio and Gaius Flamminius - was the most noble. And to you, I commend this noble and virtuous lady Lucresse to judge. To be married, and here I end this matter for now. Pray that he who translated this work into our maternal and English tongue be remembered by you. I commend to your special prayers the noble Earl of Worcester, who tragically lost his life. In his time, he made many other virtuous works, which I have heard of. O good Lord God, what great loss was it of that noble, virtuous and well-disposed lord, when I remember and advise his life, his learning and virtue. I think God was not displeased. Considering his estate and conduct, and the great labors in going on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, visiting there the holy places, our blessed Lord Jesus Christ blessed him. This is his blessed presence, and there he shed his precious blood for our redemption, and from thence ascended to his father in heaven. And what worship had he at Rome in the presence of our holy father the pope? And so in all other places to his death. At which death every man who was there might learn to die and take his death patiently. I hope and doubt not but that God received his soul into his everlasting bliss, for I am informed that he rightfully ordered all his things, both for his last will of worldly goods as for his soul's health. And he departed from this world patiently and holily, without grudging, in charity. Which is glad and joyous to hear. Then I here recommend his soul to your prayers, and also that we, at our departing, may depart in such a way that it may please our Lord God to receive us into his everlasting bliss. Amen.\n\nExplicit (Per Caxton)", "creation_year": 1481, "creation_year_earliest": 1481, "creation_year_latest": 1481, "source_dataset": "EEBO", "source_dataset_detailed": "EEBO_Phase1"}
