Latin 40r

Page:MS Latin 11269 40r.jpg

Propter prensuram, superb quaa, luctor et infra,
Vertice contundes terram. nec fata negabunt.

Apposui palmas faciei. Sed tamen illas
Inde libens movi. Quo[1] te dermergere possem
Prerensuris aliis. quas nunc ostendere tento.

Italian

Because of the hold that I have above and below you 
Your head will be broken on the ground. 

[4b-e] Per la presa che io ho desovra e ti desota
Faro che la testa in terra te sera rota

If the hand is held placed on the face well,[2] 
I'll make a demonstration of other holds for you. 

[4b-f] Le man al volto si to ben poste
Che de altre prese ti faro le'mostre

English 40r

 
By means of this grasp, by which route I wrestle above and below,
you will pound sand with the crown of your head. Nor will the fates deny it.



notes

This page has a lot of scribal oddities. For example, the first line has two places where different R glyphs are used when the p with underline would be expected, the 2-r form is used after an e in Vertice and after a u in Prensuris.

  1. ↑ Added later: "+ ut".
  2. ↑ "To" usually signifies "ti ho", but in this case the text only matches the illustration if it's read as "to" (per Florius).
