ausus est = he dared Explanation: You're just misreading the conventional printed "s" as an "f". It looks similar, but there should be no cross. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2010-07-17 11:08:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2010-07-17 11:17:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "The long s is subject to confusion with the lower case or minuscule f, sometimes even having an f-like nub at its middle, but on the left side only, in various kinds of Roman typeface and in blackletter." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2010-07-17 11:52:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This is beautiful: http://typefoundry.blogspot.com/2008/01/long-s.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2010-07-17 16:14:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Chris: "(something) that Rudbeck quite ignorantly dared (to say/write) ....in the first section...." Best to see what leads up to the "quod" -- in any case it is referring back to that. Also: "Atlanticae" is certainly genitive, the title of one of Rudbeck's books. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2010-07-17 16:20:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (also accuratius is a comparative adverb, not a positive adjective: "Had Mr. Rudbeck looked into this more closely...) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2010-07-17 16:27:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Ventured" for "dared" is probably more idiomatic English used of an historian. |
