''De Dignoscendis Hominibus'' does not mean "On the Dignity of Man."

Translation of Title
De Dignoscendis Hominibus does not mean "On the Dignity of Man." The key word here does not derive from dignitas, but from dignoscere "to tell apart, to discern, to recognize the difference between." So the title actually means something like "On Distinguishing People" (but maybe there's a nicer-sounding way to phrase that?) --Justin Mansfield (talk) 04:04, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
"Dignoscendis" is a dative/ablative plural participle meaning to distinguish or discern. "Hominibus" is a dative/ablative plural noun meaning men. a translation with this in mind "Of the Discernments of Men" or "Of the Distinguishments of Men" --Christian Trosclair
