''De Dignoscendis Hominibus'' does not mean "On the Dignity of Man." The key word here does not derive from ''dignitas'', but from ''[http://archimedes.fas.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/dict?name=ls&lang=la&word=dinosco&filter=CUTF8 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?) --[[User:Justin Mansfield|Justin Mansfield]] ([[User talk:Justin Mansfield|talk]]) 04:04, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

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)
