translation check

[exercitus]

hello. It would be great if someone could look over my translations:

Ingenia valde generosa et magnanima.
Great genius, nobility and magnanimity.

and

malum malo pellunt.
They strike evil with evil.

thanks!

[MiguelM]

Ingenia valde generosa et magnanima

generosa and magnanima are both adjectives, so

Genius vastly noble and magnanimous.

the second one seems to me to be correct

[adrianus]

Salve Exercite
ingenia is plural, so "brave and noble qualities"
'ingenia' numeri plurali est.

"They strike evil with evil" or "they fight evil with evil" (more natural sounding anglicè, maybe)

[Essorant]

Where are those words from? <pre></pre>

[exercitus]

thank you both for your helpful replies. Those words are from Francisci Baronis: de dignitate et augmentis scientiarum.
