est societas specialitatem constituta[fontem recensere]

Hendrice, in "Societas Entomologiae Londoniensis est societas physica specialitatem Entomologia, Londini anno 1833 constituta," how do you construe specialitatem Entomologia? IacobusAmor 12:20, 5 Octobris 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Royal[fontem recensere]

What happened to the word Royal, which has been part of the society's legal name since 1855? IacobusAmor 13:01, 5 Octobris 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Little mistake, i've renamed it, Hendricus 17:55, 6 Octobris 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was a good move: but notice my suggestion, already on the page, that "Entomologica" would be better than "Entomologiae". Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 20:22, 6 Octobris 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think i leave that question open for others, Hendricus 17:43, 7 Octobris 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Let's wait and see. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 17:45, 7 Octobris 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Persona importa[fontem recensere]

This seems to mean "Impersonate! Bring in!" or something like that. What's it supposed to mean? Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 20:32, 6 Octobris 2008 (UTC)[reply]

important persons or famous persons, `Hendricus 15:18, 7 Octobris 2008 (UTC)[reply]

... who were members of the Society? So, maybe Sodales praecipui (Praecipuus can mean "most significant" or "most important") or Sodales noti (Notus can mean "well known"). Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 17:37, 7 Octobris 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The list as mentioned comes from the En.wiki, Hendricus 17:47, 7 Octobris 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see. They call it "Famous members": in Latin, "Sodales noti". Andrew Dalby (disputatio)

Is that noti a medievalism? Classically, according to Cassell's, notus is 'known, familiar, customary', and sometimes 'notorious'. (Granted, some young people these days don't distinguish between 'famous' and 'notorious'.) For 'famous', Cassell's recommends (prae)clarus, inlustris, and celeber, in that order.

Yes, it could well be a medievalism. By all means insert your preferred classical term! See above: do you have a view about entomologiae/entomologica in the name of the society (I can't find a Latin source for this name)? Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 20:54, 8 Octobris 2008 (UTC)[reply]
