The book "Somniale Danielis" (print edition dated 13th century) is a list of common dreams along with the associated meaning by the author.
I came across this section but I can't figure out what it means:
Agno [id est]? pr(a)eceptum facere signi(ficat) tedium
NOTES:
- The
s
andf
use the same exact stroke. - Same with
v
andu
(as expected). - It's very difficult to distinguish between
t
andr
.
What i think this means:
Agnō praeceptum facere significat taedium.
Giving a command to a lamb means boredom.
But I'm not sure, given the id est
.
In other parts of the text I noticed:
- Using a
π
like stroke to denoteet
. - Unsettling use of macrons to shorten words (
bonū
=>bonum
). - Using a
3
when shortening something again.
Other example:
Aurum [et] arg(en)tum tractāre s(ignificat) expedītiōnē(s) de factīs tuīs.
id est
