i’m having trouble translating this:
Laurentii Vallentis viri clarissimi:& de lingua latina bene merentis ad Ioannem Tortellium Arrentium: Cui opus elegantiarum linguae latinae dedicat:
Lorenzo Valla the most illustrious man, and on account of Latin, he is well deserving, to Johann Torellius of Arrentium, to whom he dedicates his work, the tastefulness of the latin language.
please help,
multas gratias
sapiens
Erravisti. Non potui invenire hanc sententiam ubique. Necesse est ut scribas recta verba.
Vera sententia est:
LAVRENTII VALLENSIS VIRI CLARISSIMI ET DE LINGVA LATINA BENE MERENTIS AD IOANNEM TORTELLIVM ARETINVM: CVI OPUS ELEGANTIARVM LINGVAE LATINAE DEDICAT EPISTOLA.
Haec videtur esse salutationem epistolae. Et conatus sum facere translationem tibi:
Laurentii Vallensis of most illustrious honor, and of very worthy merit: Concerning the Latin language according to Ioannes Tortellius Aretinus:
A letter to whom he dedicates this work of elegance to the Latin language.
Fortasse feci errata, igitur quicumque vult me emendare, fac hoc.
Valeas
