Latin 21v

Page:MS Latin 11269 21v.jpg

Primus ego dagae cautus[1] vocor ipse magister.
Cumque manu leva pretento tollere dagam.



Circum nempe tuum dagam convolvo lacertum.
Nec perdens illam miserum te pectore tundam.

Italian

I am the First Master of the Dagger, full of guile,
And with my left hand I will wind the dagger around your arm, 
And truth to tell I can make many other plays,
And my students will do them cunningly.

[6a-e] Magistro primo son de daga pieno de ingano
Et cum man stancha torote la daga de mano
E asaii altri zoghi io posso far inveritade
E li mie scholari li farano cum falsitade

If I make a turn around your arm with my dagger,
I will strike you in the chest, and it will not be taken from me.

[6a-f] Cum mia daga intorno tuo braço faro volta
E in lo peto te feriro, e non me sera tolta.

English 21v

 
I am called the Cautious One, that is, the first master of the dagger.
You lift with your hand and extended [arm][2] to steal the dagger.

Indeed, I twist my dagger around your shoulder.
Without forfeiting that [dagger] I will beat you, the Wretched One, in the chest.


notes

  • cautus (from cavere) is a common term in Roman jurist texts, where it means security in the sense of assurance or collateral
  • the second word of the second line in the lower register can also be read "perdens"
  • We've read "nec" as an intensifier, perhaps comparable to "no yeah"

  1. ↑ cautus (from cavere) is a common term in Roman jurist texts, where it means security in the sense of assurance or collateral
  2. ↑ "pretento" didn't match any of the adjectives present, so we've filled in "brachio"
