29.05.24: gentle reminders

When I started doing notes on Ora Maritima, I referred to the fact that this little book was written in a gentler age. Some of the phrases I’ve used to illustrate the case usage, I think, reflect that:

Sub umbrā castaneae │beneath the shade of a chestnut tree

Ex fenestrā meā lunam et stellās spectō. │From my window I look at the moon and the stars.

And:

Cūra columbārum Lȳdiae magnam laetitiam dat.  │ Taking care of the doves gives great happiness to Lydia.
