Disputatio:Hugo de Nevill
'chief forester' = capitalis forestarius?[fontem recensere]
Melius forestarius maximus? Confer pontificem maximum. IacobusAmor (disputatio) 00:01, 17 Martii 2017 (UTC)
- The best term would be whatever he was called (in Latin) in the thirteenth century, if appropriate MSS (and/or their modern editions) can be found. IacobusAmor (disputatio) 00:02, 17 Martii 2017 (UTC)
- Surely that's what we already have, see footnote 2. The source is dated to 1235, and appears to be written by the king. Or maybe for the king: I wouldn't know how much writing he did, day to day. Maybe he preferred to tweet :)
- Oddly enough, if you look at the source cited, and then read the immediately following quotation in the dictionary, it uses the word "capitalis" for a big pontifex in Rome. So medieval "capitalis" might come out (cf. your initial comment) as a synonym of "maximus". Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 09:56, 17 Martii 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, I tried to give the medieval version and a classical equivalent. An English synonym of forestarius is wodewardus (woodward). Lesgles (disputatio) 10:34, 17 Martii 2017 (UTC)
- And Henry III may not have been the best king, but no, I think his subjects at least didn't have to put up with any late-night tweeting. :) Lesgles (disputatio) 10:57, 17 Martii 2017 (UTC)
- Ne medium ipsum false culpetur, fortasse debemus considerare primum praesidem Civitatum Foederatarum qui per Twitter communicare solebat fuisse Baracum Obama, ac 10,000 fere pipiationum edidit, quarum nulla fuit res tam controversa ut in prima diariorum pagina reprehenderetur. :/ IacobusAmor (disputatio) 12:24, 17 Martii 2017 (UTC)
