== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of &quot;advanced rights&quot; (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing &quot;advanced rights&quot; from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].

We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)

These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, [[Usor:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:EPIC|disputatio]]) 22:22, 22 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==

Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.

Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).

I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

:@[[Usor:Ser be etre shi|Ser be etre shi]] Are you able to help with this? Ping in case so. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:27, 3 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:@[[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] Just checking these look like quite a small number of changes, is that right? It may be easiest to do these manually. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:38, 24 Octobris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock}} well, my Latin is almost nonexistent, so I cannot do it myself sadly. [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 18:21, 24 Octobris 2025 (UTC)

== Universal Code of Conduct annual review: proposed changes are available for comment ==

My apologies for writing in English.

I am writing to you to let you know that [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Annual_review/Proposed_Changes|proposed changes]] to the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Enforcement_guidelines|Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Charter|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) Charter]] are open for review. '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Annual_review/Proposed_Changes|You can provide feedback on suggested changes]]''' through the [[d:Q614092|end of day]] on Tuesday, 18 March 2025. This is the second step in the annual review process, the final step will be community voting on the proposed changes.
[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Annual_review|Read more information and find relevant links about the process on the UCoC annual review page on Meta]].

The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee]] (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. This annual review was planned and implemented by the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Charter|you may review the U4C Charter]].

Please share this information with other members in your community wherever else might be appropriate.

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.

All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|MediaWiki]], all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future. 

A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation. 

'''You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.'''

*You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

''Other effects'':

*Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
* We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==

On EN wikisource, they have a template &lt;nowiki&gt;{{longs}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off. 

In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)

In order to implement this:

(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?

(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind: 
::* ſ is a variant of s; 
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe); 
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class). 
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque  
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify 
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.

::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==

''(Apologies for posting in English)''

Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.

As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].

After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.

The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.

If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too. 

We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]].

Dear all,

This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].

'''Call for Questions'''

In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]

'''Election Volunteers'''

Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==

Dear all,

Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.

I've recently added a new section to the portal: &quot;Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques.&quot; This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.

Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.

If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

&lt;section begin=&quot;message&quot;/&gt;
Dear Wikimedia Community,

The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]]  of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].

A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.

Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.

Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.

Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.

Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.

=== Wikispore ===

The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.

After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support. 

We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.

As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.

Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.

=== Wikinews ===

We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.

Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf &lt;nowiki&gt;[1]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 &lt;nowiki&gt;[2]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F &lt;nowiki&gt;[3]&lt;/nowiki&gt;] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.

While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews &lt;nowiki&gt;[4]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F &lt;nowiki&gt;[5]&lt;/nowiki&gt;, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? &lt;nowiki&gt;[6]&lt;/nowiki&gt;].

[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.

Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.

SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.

'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.

=== Feedback and next steps ===

We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.

I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==

Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works.

:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]]  for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]]. It seems to work very well and is extremely labour saving! [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 22:59, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)

== Navigation and validation ==

Hi there, 

I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some &quot;portal&quot; pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.

I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins). Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 09:31, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
&lt;section begin=&quot;message&quot;/&gt;
Hello everyone,  

''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''

The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.

This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.

The three main features of this extension are:

* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
*  '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
*  '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.

'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''&quot;Event Organizer&quot;''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.

The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.

Thank you! &lt;section end=&quot;message&quot;/&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
&lt;section begin=&quot;body&quot;/&gt;
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.

Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate. 

'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''

Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect. 

Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.

'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;~2025-12345-67&lt;/code&gt; (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.

'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''

'''For logged-out editors'''

* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.

'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''

* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.

'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''

* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.

'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''

* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.

You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

== All pages in Athanasius Kircher - Turris Babel - 1679 are in Categoria:Formulae ==

I was looking for templates/formulae by looking at &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Categoria:Formulae]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

All pages in [[Liber:Athanasius Kircher - Turris Babel - 1679.djvu]] are in &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Categoria:Formulae]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==

Hi all,

Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about &lt;nowiki&gt;Formula:Sidenotes begin&lt;/nowiki&gt; above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes &lt;u&gt;does not prevent damage&lt;/u&gt; to the project. It is &lt;u&gt;merely a tracking and notification method?&lt;/u&gt;
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject? 
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily. 
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the &quot;Pending Changes&quot; status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.

All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-09-24|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-09-24T15:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-09-24T15:00}}]'''.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|MediaWiki]], all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future. 

A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation. 
You can contribute to the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=Centralnotice-tgroup-read_only_banner&amp;task=view&amp;language=&amp;filter=&amp;action=translate translation or proofreading] of this banner text.

'''You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.'''

*You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-09-24|en}}.
*If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

''Other effects'':

*Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
* We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

Hello everyone,

This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as &lt;code&gt;Module:Itemgroup/list&lt;/code&gt;).

'''The Change:'''&lt;br /&gt;
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]]. 

We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.

'''What You Need To Do:'''&lt;br /&gt;
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.

'''Deadline:'''&lt;br /&gt;
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.

Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

Hello,

Would someone please be able to help me get [[s:en:Template:ppoem|en:Template:ppoem]], [[s:en:blackletter|en:blackletter]], [[s:en:Template:he|en:Template:he]], and [[s:en:Template:grc|en:Template:grc]] available to use on this Wikisource, so I can utilize them here? For the blackletter, I've tried [[Formula:Gothica|Gothica]], but that doesn't seem to be rendering properly.

::Hi! @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]], thanks! Just for clarification, do I need to make the template pages in Latin, or is it alright to copy them in English? Also, @[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]], I mentioned this above, but for some reason, the Gothica template isn't working for me. See [[Pagina:Polygamia Triumphatrix.pdf/15]], for example.

:::@[[Usor:Erblanchard57|Erblanchard57]] This wiki lacks proper guidelines and recommendations, I would prefer if you translated the template's name, e.g., [[Formula:spatium]] rather than [[Formula:spatio]] but given the international nature of the project (nobody's mother tongue is Latin) best practice should be to add translated names as shortcuts/redirects. Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]). I took a quick look and it seems the fonts used by the blackletter template are not installed on the wiki; the same template does not seem to work on the French Wikisource either.

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==

Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the &quot;Proofread&quot; status, except that a few are also &quot;Validated&quot;. I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.

My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?

Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.

There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

Quod statim MARIA, ad primam scilicet reditus vesperam animadvertit: siquidem puerum antehac viris permistum arbitrata, qui diversam a feminis viam tenebant: subito vi ingentis doloris saucia, filio requirendo animum pedesque convertit. Verum cum Jerosolymae diem jam tertium partim labore itineris, partim luctu atque angore fatigata, frustra impenderet; hanc Epistolam ad eum scribit, mittitque per Angelum. In hac autem quidquid questus et lacrymarum maternus amor exprimit, operose adhibet: tum et rationum momenta precesque aggerit, quibus amissum profugumque inducat, ut quantocyus revertatur, seseque matri afflictissimae restituat'', Luc. 2.

''Argumentum''
 
Jephte ''Galaadites qui Ducis inter Israeliticos nomen famamque obtinuit, cum adversus Ammonitas dubio Marte pugnaret, victoriam voto pactus est. Deo scilicet immolandi, quemcunque primum,  a caso stratoque hoste revertens obvium habent. Accidit autem, ut filia ejus unica (quam quidam ''Seilam'' appellant: nobis autem a patre ''Jephtiada'': seu ''Jephtin'' appellare placet) prima in occursum parenti victori gratulabunda processerit. Quod ubi advertit ''Jephte'', gravis eum subito dolor et poenitudo invasit, utique voto, de quo jam memoravi, obnoxiam.
 
''Quamobrem contravenire non ausus, de nece et victima, quam in sacrificium, atque obtenta victoria pretium erat, filiam admonet: similiter haec religione paterni voti aucta, pareti sese ultro permittit. Nihilominus binos menses postulat, obtinetque, quibus per Sylvas errabunda cum sodalibus, primum juventa sua florem, propero fato occupandum, deploret. Dum haec agitat, sensimque dies elabuntur: sub extremum mensis secundi hanc Epistolam ad patrem scribit: in qua infortunium suum exagitans rationes adfert, quibus paternum animum emolliat et de cruenta sententia retrahat. Caeterum utut fuerit, statuto tempore venturam se pollicetur, jugulumque ferro oblaturam, ut nova victima ad aram procumbat'', Judic. 11.

Cum autem Gabelus in Rages civitate Medorum domicilium haberet, quaerendusque viae ductor et comes esset; Historia prodit Raphaelem Angelum sese ad id muneris obtulisse, talemque se gessisse, quanquam simulato nomine, habituque. Igitur rebus constitutis dant se in iter: sed cum ambo tardius quam promiserant, reverterentur (siquidem Tobias cum Sara consobrina Raguelis filia matrimonium contraxerat) parentes de ejus salute solliciti varie agitari, tum vero maxime ejus mater ''Anna irremediabilibus lacrimis flere coepit''. Quae quidem hac Epistola angores suos et lacrimas filio exhibet, simul oblectat, ut, si quid penes eum pietatis adhuc supersit, parentes anxios omni metu eximat, et quam primum expeditis negotiis domum revertatur.''

Herodes ''Ascalonita domo Idumaeus, cum per Mariamnae nuptias, quae ex Assamonaeis, et Machabaeis genus ducebat, Judaico sceptro inhiaret; idque initio aliquamdiu vafre dissimulasset, tandem gloriae et sanguinis appetens animus, virus, quod fovebat, nec sine crudelitatis facinore profudit. Nam primo Hyrcanum annis gravem, ac Pontificem summum apud Judaeos, nec non ''Mariamnae''avum ex Alexandra filia interfici jubet. Tum Aristobulum ''Mariamnae'' fratrem primam adhuc intra juventam: Hyrcani in Pontificatu successorem per insidias aquis suffocat. Exinde vero ''Mariamnam'' quoque conjugem, quasi veneficii accusatam carceri mancipat, morte postea, uti contigit, mulctandam. Cum igitur ''Mariamna'' id per satellitem intellexisset, ex carcere hanc ad ''Herodem'' Epistolam scribit, in qua ferociam ejus ac barbariem accusando, graviter conqueritur. Filiorum item Alexandri et Aristobuli, quos ex eo tulerat, et juniores relinquebat, infortunium deplorat: lugetque tam barbaro patre natos, a quo ipsimet quoque postea in judicium et capitis poenam accersendi forent. Ut ut sit affirmat, se quidem libenter, quando ita necesse esset (quamquam per summum nefas) mortem oppetere. Denique ''Herodi'' infelicem exitum a diras non tam imprecatur quam veluti vaticinando denunciat: quod utique evenit, turpi atque infelici morte defuncto, ''Josephus Salianus tom. 6.

Quod statim atque uxor ejus, ampli animi foemina intellexit: vi doloris et facinoris atrocitate saucia, una cum socru hanc Epistolam scribere aggressa est. Atque in hac primo levitatis ac perfidiae maritum coarguit: divortiumque intenta, nisi facti poenitentia ad saniorem mentem redeat. In eum finem rationes proponit, quas amor conjugalis, praesertim laesus suggerit. Neque profecti incassum. Siquidem haec Epistola ita ''Jacobi'' mentem perculit, ut sine mora Rege adito, facinus retractaverit: etiam martyrium pro fide passus. Nam saeviente tyranno, quod se illusum cerneret, membratim caeditur, unde et ''Intercisus'' dictus est.

Eustachius ''(cui et ''Placido'' nomen ante baptismum) vir extitit subTrajano Imperatore, domi militiaeque clarus in paucis. Verum, ut se habent res humanae, cum bonorum omnium jacturam fecisset, statuit cum ''Theopista'' conjuge parvulisque liberis ''Agapito'', et ''Theopisto'' ex Italia in Aegyptum navigare, privatam illic vitam acturus. Sed ecce in via gravior et acerbior illum casus invadit. Si quidem ''Theopista'' primum perfidia naucleri illo surripitiur: tum et duo ejus filii in trajectione fluminiis leoni, ac lupo in praedam cedunt: qui tamen a pastoribus erepti deinceps intra eorum mapalia adolevere. Similiter ''Theopista'' lenoni impuro per caelestis vindictae prodigium surrepta est: quae exinde pro famula apud heram rusticanam, quindecim ipsos annos sese locavit; gessitque. Haec igitur cum de ''Placido'' quidpiam inaudisset, quem Caessar conquiri in Ducem adversus Barbaros jubebat: hanc Epistolam ad eum exarat; in qua quidquid sibi a raptu accederat, recenset. Tum et de filiis nonnulla attexit: quos primo a bestiis laceratos, ac ereptos postea obscura fama intellexerat. Hortatur ergo, ut exercitum moveat contra Barbaros, prius tamen se in laborum, imo et Martyrii (quod vaticinio assequitur) sociam adscisci poslulat. Nec vero fefellit eventus: Quippe procedente tempore ''Eustachius'', et ''Theopista'', itemque, filii qui sub patris vexillis merebant, cum in mutuam notitiam venissent: primo vincula  cum et mortem pro fide, tauro aeneo candentique inclusi,fortiter oppetiere.

Ursula ''Dionoci Cornubiae regis apud Britannos filia, cum instructa classe ad Armoricos, Galliae populos,, qua oceano Occidentali alluitur, navigaret: secumque undecim millia Virginum duceret, contractis ibidem nuptiis, populum plusquam virorum facitura; alio derepente, seu maris aestu, seu potius Dei providentia, navigationis cursum et consilia divertit. Quippe naves vi tempestatis ejectae ad littus, qua Germanico mari Rhenus fluvius se affundit: cum in Molgam Pictorum, et Caunum Hunnorum piratas ad duces incidissent; gravis subito dimicatio coorta est: illis impure et hostiliter , his vero fortiter pro pudicitia, et fide certantibus. Quo factum, uti ad ferrum usque (dum utrinque pertinacia bellum geritwur) imo et ad internecionem res processerit. Cum autem has inter Virgines Cordula reliquis meticulosior sese pugnae et martyrio subduxissst; idque ''Ursula'' jam caelo cum Sodalibus recepta comperisset: hac Epistola illam ad constantiam hortatur. Quocirca adductis in medium palmis, quas reportarunt, hortatur, ut quam primum hostibus generose se prodat, neque oblatam arreptamque victoriae laurum, sibi aut eripi, aut in manibus effringi patiatur. Quod, utique die insequenti, ut optaverat ''Ursula'' evenisse scribit'' Baronius Tom. 4. Annal. Martyrol. Rom. 21. Octobris.

Igitur ''Bonifacium'', tradita illi ingenti vi pecuniae in Ciliciam misit: regio haec est minoris Asiae, ubi Simplicianus Praefectus quotidiana in Christianos ferocia exasperabat. Verum cum diutius illic, quam abiens promiserat, haereret: hanc ad eum Epistolam scribit, in qua conqueritur de nimia tarditate. Cum autem inter scribendum edocta fuisset ab Angelo, ''Bonifacium'' fidei Christianae accusatum attineri in carcere, eundem ad constantiam et martyrium hortatur. Inter alia vero illud maxime rogat, uti corpus suum Romam deferri curet per suos: quod ipsum quoque comitibus.ac famulis, qui cum eo discesserant, sedulo commendat. Nec spes ea, et votum frustra fuit.

''Argumentum''
 
''Euphemianus et Aglaë, par nobile conjugum et patriciae apud Romanos nobilitatis, cum tandem ex matrimonio, post crebra ad Deum vota prolem tulissent, cui et ''Alexio'' nomen indidere: eundem jam adultum ad nuptias urserunt. Verum ''Alexius'' cum castitatis amore, simul ejusdem voto teneretur: neque interea parentum imperio refragari auderet: ''Polydoram'',  Virginem, cui formae ac morum elegantia supra natalium splendorem decus ad''&lt;small&gt;fe&lt;/small&gt;''сtebat, in conjugem admisit. Sed habet miras et innoxias fallendi artes divinus Amor, cui omnia ex commento licent. Quippe prima nuptiarum nocte, ''Alexius Polydoram'' pio dolo circumventam clam deseruit, satius opinans, ab igne longius recedere, quam apud eundem sedendo quotidie periclitari. Igitur Roma egressus, Edessam primo Syriae oppidum profectus est, ubi annos plures delituit. Cum autem ex ea urbe Tarsum Ciliciae navigaret, adverso vento in Italiam indeque Romam delatus est: obtento intrat paternarum aedium septa tuguriolo stipe victitans, ad obitum usque incognitus, miro sanctitatis et constantiae exemplo perseveravit. Interea vero temporis ''Polydora'' cum se ab eo derelictam lugeret, et frustra missis ad diversa loca nuntiis requireret: hanc Epistolam adjicit, ei per famulam reddendam, ubicumque locorum inveniretur. Porro in hac Epistola primum de ejus fuga conqueritur: tum luctum et angorem, quem de ejus salute caperet, exponit denique variis persuasionibus, id efficere studet, ut quam primum Romam, unde diffugerat, revertatur.''

''Argumentum''
 
Alena ''Lewoldi et Hildegardis, qui Diebbetani in Brabantia tractus dominio floruere sub Annum 661. filia: eum Gentilitiis erroribus apud parentes irretita, tandem de fide usuque sacrorum apud Christianos quidpiam inaudiisset, nova religionis cupiditas ejus animum incessit. Quamobrem Forestum sive Worstiam (pagus est primo ad Bruxellam lapide, ad Zennam fluvium) cogitat: quo et insciis parentibus noctu cum famula proficisci statuit. Quod ubi succedit, primis statim fidei elementis imbui, tum et salutaribus aquis lustrari, denique eo frequentius itare coepit. Verum cum nocte quadam intercepta fuisset a famulo, et ad patrem delata (quanquam prius cum sedem famulo ampla mercede silentium pacta esset) gravem patres iram incurrit: qui et filiam domi, ceu carcere, adhibitis etiam custodiis diligenter attineri jussit. Igitur ''Alena'' cum nullatenus exire posset: hanc Epistolam ad ''Phosphorianum'' (sic enim Wostiani sacelli praesidem appellare visum est) scribit. In qua illum de iis, quae accidissent, commonefacit; asserens fore, ut posthabitis parentum, minis elusisque custodum eo rursus evolare intendat. Regat ergo uti faculam ex more de turri praetendat: itemque (su quid ei sinistri in via per violentiam acciderit) ut corpus suum in Worstium deferri curet, nonnulla de martyrio suo, et iis, quae post mortem evenire, vaticinando assequitur.

''Fuit inter ''Lucias'' Virgines, hujusce nominis complures, uti Annales sacri recolunt, Alexandrina quaedam formae praestantia, sed magis animae dotibus praecellens. Quod hoc facinore, a quo Epistolae materies sumpta est, facile enotuit. Quippe haec ''Lucia'' Virgo, ubi se adamari a Principe, idque oculorum illicio ac venustate rescivisset: eruisse sibi oculos fertur, ne aut alium ipsa caperet, aut ab alio caperetur. Hos igitur oculos pyxide inclusos ad amatorem suum transmitit, quem a Graeco σκοτοῖς, id est, tenebris, quibus per amorem captus erat, ''Scotianum'' appellare placuit. Porro ''Lucia'' in hac Epistola primo factum denarrat, atque in oculos invehitur, utpote periculosa semper ad voluptates captandas lenocinia. Exinde culpata ''Scotiani'' cupidine, obsecrat, ut transmissum a se munus, quod utique in votis unice habuerat, aequo vultu excipiat: simul vel ex hoc discat, quam fluxa sint hujus aevi decora, quo amorem a terrenis ad caelestia traducat.

==Epistola VII. &lt;br&gt; Austraberta Frameildi.==
''Argumentum''
 
Austraberta'' Virgo ''Bateftridi'' Hedinensis Comitis in Morinis, ex ''Frameilde'' filia, cum ad ineundas nuptias importunius a parentibus urgeretur: clam e paternis aedibus cum ancilla et juniore fratre fugam arripuit. Igitur cum ad D. Audomarum Morinorum Antistitem devenisset, ac fugae causam exposuisset; ferunt ab eodem, quanquam multis et summis percibus, sacrum velum seu flammeum, (cujus gestatio pro consecratae pudicitiae tessera erat) obtinuisse; quod quidem hac Epistola ''Frameildi'' matri, quippe qui clandestino filiae discessu solicitae, aperit, simul metum ac moerorem tollit: Contendit autem maxime, ut facinoris fasti veniam impetret: addens id rei, non alio quam divino instinctu ac monitu se aggressum fuisse. Utque hujus rei fidem faciat, prodigia enarrat, quae ad id facinoris viam, simul audaciam illi fecere. Quippe viae decennis, cum super fonticulum puellari more colluderet, verticem sibi velo quasi obnubi conspexit. Dum et de Cantia flumine addit pedibus veluti solida humo tentato, pertransitoque. Quare his permota ''Frameildis'' facultatem filiae dedit Deo, ubivis locorum vellet, famulandi. Igitur ''Austraberta'' ad Portense Monasterium, quod ad Somonam fluvium assidet, divertit: ubi et sanctimonialem primo: tum et antistitem cum laude gessit. Ejus nomen adhuc in Artesia et Bononia, ubi antiqua Morinorum sedes exstitit, percelebre est: extatque sacrum eius corpus Audomaropoli Arthesiae oppido.'' P. Jacobus . Malbrancq. Soc. Jesu, lib. 3. de Morinis, cap. 33. Surius 40. Februarii.

''Argumentum''
 
Dioscorus ''vir fuit ex Nicomedia Bithyniae oppido gentilis ac praedives: cui cum ex matrimonio filia unica obtigisset, quam ''Barbaram'' appellavit, elegantissima forma; eam, ne promiscue hominum aspectibus et desideriis patesceret, praealta turri inclusit. Verum ''Barbara'' cum in eo carcere Idololatriae tenebras divino lumine excussisset, et Christianis dogmatibus ab Angelo imbuta esset, pudicitiam Deo vovit. Quod ubi pater agnovit, qui filiam jam desponderat, vehementer excanduit: tum et nuptias abnuentem cogere, et fugientem insequi coepit: donec apprehensam castello, ubi balneum erat, includeret. ''Barbara'' igitur ex hoc balnei carcere ad patrem scribit de ejus saevitia conquerens: foreque pollicens, quidquid ipsae agitaret, ut nunquam a pudicitia servanda proposito, quam Christo voverat, abduceretur. Additque in eum finem paratam se, vel gladio paterno jugulum praebere, mortemque oppetere: quod utique postea, duplicata Virginitatis et Martyrii laurea, evenisse scribunt'' D. Damascenus, Metaphrastes, Surius Tom. 6. Martyrol. Rom. 4. Decembris.

''Cum ''Franciscus Xaverius'' Lutetiae Parisiorum operam studiis daret, scientiarum simul tuenda apud aequales nobilitatis avidus, extra modum sumptu prodiret: factum est, ut ejus parens ''Joannes Jassus'', qui eum ex ''Maria Xaveria'' nobilissima conjuge postremum liberorum tulerat, de eo abs studiis revocando apud se statuerit. Quod ubi primum ''Xaverii'' soror, quam ''Xaveriadem'' hic vocamus (agebat autem ea Gandiae sacrarum Virginum Antistitam, quas ob summam vitae asperitatem Discalceatas appellant) intellexisset: ad patrem ''Jassum'' hanc Epistolam scribit. In qua illum operose monet, obsecratque, uti ''Francisco'' fratri Parisiis ingenium maximis scientiae artibus excolenti, affatim omnia suppeditet.Quippe edoctae divinitus (nam et ob eximiae sanctimoniae meritum prophetico spiritu a Deo donata erat) illum ''Ignatio'' duce, Novi orbis, ultimique Orientis Apostolum destinatum: per occasionem de iis, quae ''Xaverius'' postmodo in India acturus, passurusque erat, praecipua quaedam edisserit.

''Argumentum''
 
Franciscus Borgia ''ex Marchione Lombasii Dux Gandiae Quartus, inito cum Leonora Castria, illustrissima ex Lusitanorum genere femina, conjugio: multa prole et honoribus apud Carolum Quintum Imperatorem auctus est. Sed cum ad funus Isabellae Imperatricis, cujus Toleto Granatam transvehendi cura commissa erat, divinitus tactus, jamque rerum humanarum, et gloriae fluxae pertaesus, nova Deo serviendi consilia captaret: ferunt a Matertera, quae ad Coenobium S. Clarae Gandiensis commigraverat, ibique Antistitam gerebat, per Epistiolam commonitum, ut constanter ageret. Et vero ne incassum haec movisse plerique existimarent, constat eam divina revelatione atque ostento didicisse, quidquid  ''Francisco'' Duce ac Nepote, ad Caesarei cadaveris conspectum gestum fuit. Quod ipsum hac Epistola significat; qua et eum multis rationibus cohortatur ad propositi constantiam: simul praedicens fere, ut Societati Jesu, cujus ''Ignatius'' auctor ac parens erat, nomen adjiceret: inultaque ad praeclara in eo ordine pro Dei gloria, et proximorum salute aggrederetur. Attingit autem et Aviae obitum, quae pariter inter Coenobii Gandiensis claustra ''Mariae Gabrielae'' nomen asctitaverat:       cujus affectu monitusque salutaribus ipsemet ''Borgia'' multo maxime profecisse saepe testatus est. Materterae nomen, quod ante Isabellae fuerat, ''Franciscae de Jesu'' concessit: quo et hic utimur. Neque vero eorum, qua supra de ''Francisco'' attigi, eventus fefellit. Quippe in Societatem primo indeque ad summum in ea imperium et Praefecturam assumptus, Praepositi Generalis Tertii titulum praeclaris editis facinoribus implevit. Accessit Santcimoniae non vulgaris fama, qua etiam miraculis inclaruit: quo factum est, ut ab ''Urbano VIII.'' Pont. Max. Beatorum numero solemni ritu adscriptus sit. ''Anno 1624.

''Argumentum''
 
''Habet Belgium quoque, quod de hoc Societatis primo saeculo glorietur: quippe et istud statim a principio illustravit ''Petrus Canisius'', vir doctrinae juxta ac sanctimoniae laude percelebris. Natus is fuit Noviomagi Provinciae Gueldriae, quam olim Sicambriam dictam volunt, primaria civitate anno salutis humanae 1521. eo scilicet, quo B. Ignatius de Loiola Societatis Jesu parens ad severiorem vitam conversus, militiae sacrae relicta profana sese tradidit: quam et ''Canisius'' tertio Confirmati Ordinis ingressus est. Puer matre orbatus cui ''Aegidiae Honovingae'' nomen erat, in Materterae (quam abs sorore ''Honovingam'' hic appello) curam concessit. Et vero haec multis precibus et consultis saepe eum juvit: quae compendio per Epistolam hic exhibemus, in qua ''Canisio'' nepoti de statu vitae consilium agitanti, nec non inter illecebras Noviomagi apud suos, ubi tunc erat, primam intra juventam, dubio, stimulum addit, jubetque bono esse animo, praedicens fore, ut brevi in novum quendam Sacerdotum Ordinem assumatur. Operae pretium mihi videtur majoris fidei ergo, ea verba hic addere, quibus, illa, etiam ante Societatis iis in partibus auditum nomen, divino Spiritu illustrata cum nepote contendit. ''Tu'', inquit, ''fili, cooptaberis in novum quendam Sacerdotum Ordinem, quem in Ecclesia sua ad reformationem ejus, ac multorum salutem parat Deus. Ego eos per visum vidi, et te ad eos adjungi. Graves erunt viri, docti, modesti, Deo pleni, animarum caritate praediti. Bono igitur fac sis animo et spe hujuscemodi te sustenta. Nam brevi potieris hoc dono''. Quaesitis ergo ad haec rationibus, imo et ejusdem ''Canisii'' primae pueritiae gestis, simul postea gerendis adhortatur, ut iis viris Christo vacaturus se adjungat: quod et fecit captato P. Fabri colloquio, qui Moguntiae tunc agebat.'' Orlandinus Hist. Societatis lib. 4. Sacchinus in ejus vita lib. 1.

''Argumentum''
 
''FERDINANDUS GONZAGA Imperii Princeps et Castillionis Stiverorum in Gallia Cisalpina Marchio, ex Mantua, Ducibus, cum ex MARTHAFANA SANTENIA illustrissima apud Taurinos foemina, ALOYSIUM natu inter liberos maximum tulisset: nihil antiquius habuit, quam ut eundem statim a prima juventa Nobilium exercitiis erudiret, sperans fore, uti prosapiae splendori, iis gradibus ad gloriam niteretur. Sed cυm e diverso Deus juvenem divinarum rerum illiciis captum Societati sensim initiaret, gravis concertatio exorta est: ALOYSIO hinc abeundi facultatem, inde parente Marchione repulsam pertinaciter agitantibus. Cum igitur ALOYSIUS frustra captatas et occlusas precibus paternas aures animadverteret, jamque voti fui impatientior ad CLAUDIUM AQUAVIVAM, qui per id tempus Societatem universam cum supremo Imperio Romae administrabat, hanc Epistolam scribit. In qua animi sui assessum votumque aperit quo Societati sese addixerat; vetare autem parentem obstinacius, quo tamen nequidquam pensi habito, postulas in Societatem admitti. Inflexit hic adolescenis ardor, non modo AQUAVIVAM, sed et parentis animum; adeoque factum, ut Societati &lt;?&gt; paulo adscriberetur; in qua interea sexennium, quod vixit, ita ad virtutem sese exercuit, ut vita functus ac miraculorum fama clarus, ''Beati'' et ''Angelici'' nominibus, Summorum Pontificum auctoritate, insignitus fuerit. Obiit Romae Anno Christi 1591''. P. Virgilius Cepario, in eius vita.

''Argumentum''
 
''Cum hactenus hoc Tertio Epistolarum Libro nonnulla tractaverim, quae ad Societatem pertinebant: placuit hic quasi corollarii in modum, ejusdem Societatis, quam per prosopopoeiam hic inducimus,Epistolam addere. Scribit autem illa ad ''Suos'', qui in acie, et campo (ut ita loquar) caeteris ad caelestes palmas admissis, adhuc decertant. Et vero consentaneum visum est, quando annum Saecularem fundata ab ''Ignatio Societatis'' agimus: praeclara facinora commemorare quae Majores nostri ad Dei gloriam, salutemque animarum patraverunt. Quod ipsum hac Epistola attingere studui; ''Societatem'' ipsam ''Suis'' scribentem inducendo, eisque Majorum exempla ad virtutum veluti imaginem quandam exhibendo, acrius stimuletur, accendaturque ad imitandum. Porro neque inter scribendum rationes alias omisimus, quibus momenti aliquid inesse videri poterat ad suasionem: tametsi ad animatos suapte ''Socios'' sermo sit; neque enim vetitum, quod vulgato proverbio dicimus.

Cumque sibi tarde venientibus ordine fatis,

Stamine metrorum exstructor conserta retexit&lt;ref&gt;Hunc versum litterae ultimae lineae primae cuiusque aenigmatis a fine ad initium lectae componunt.&lt;/ref&gt;

Septena alarum me circumstantia cingit.
Vecta per alma poli quis nunc volitare solesco,
Abdita nunc terrae penetrans atque ima profundi.
Sum Solomone sagacior et velocior Euro.
Clarior et Phoebi radiis, pretiosior auro,
Suavior omnigena certe modulaminis arte,
Dulcior et favo gustantum in faucibus eso.
Nulla manus poterat nec me contingere visus,
Cum praesens dubio sine me quaerentibus adsto.
Mordentem amplector, parcentem me viduabo.
Est felix mea qui poterit cognoscere jura,
Quemque meo natum esse meum sub nomine rebor.

Una tres natae sumus olim ex matre sagaci.
Est felix eius liceat cui cernere formam
Reginae, fausto semper quae numine regnat,
Solifero cuius thalamus splendore nitescit,
Cernere quae nullus nec pandere septa valebit.
Maternis quis nec poterit fore visibus aptus,
Nostris ni fuerit complexibus ante subactus ?

Bis binas statuit sua nos vigiles dominatrix,
Thesauri cellario conservare sorori,
Diversisque intus fulgent ornata metallis
Omnigena, et florum dulcedine serta virescunt,
Gaudentes nostris haec mox reseramus amicis,
Ingratisque aditum sed iure negamus apertum.

Dulcifero nos pia genetrix ditavit honore,
Dulcia quod bibulis praestamus pocula buccis,
Tosta ministrantes nitidis et fercula mensis.
Sed tamen apta damus cunctis responsaque certa.
Littera tollatur, non fulget nominis ortus.

&lt;poem&gt;
Efferus exuviis populator me spoliavit,
Vitalis pariter flatus spiramina dempsit,
In planum me iterum campum sed verterat auctor.
Frugiferos cultor sulcos mox irrigat undis,
Omnigenam nardi messem mea prata rependunt,
Qua sanis victum et laesis praestabo medelam.

Nativa penitus ratione heu! fraudor ab hoste;
Nam superas quondam pernix auras penetrabam.
Vincta tribus nunc in terris persolvo tributum.
Planos compellor sulcare per aequora campos.
Causa laboris amoris tum fontes lacrimarum
Semper compellit me aridis infundere sulcis.

Olim dictabar proprio sub nomine Caesar,
Optabantque meum proceres iam cernere vultum.
Nunc aliter versor superis suspensus in auris,
Et caesus cogor late persolvere planctum,
Cursibus haud tardis cum ad luctum turba recurrit,
Mordeo mordentem labris mox, dentibus absque.

&lt;poem&gt;
Quadrupedis pulchri quamvis constat mihi forma,
Sponte tamen nullus me usquam lustrare videbit.
Bis binis certe per quadrum carnibus armor;
Quosque meis dapibus dignor satiare solesco,
Indignis potumque cibumque referre negabo.
Ex alta clarum merui re nomen habere.

&lt;poem&gt;
Versicolor cernor nunc, nunc mihi forma nitescit,
Lege fui quondam cunctis iam larvula servis;
Sed modo me gaudens orbis veneratur et ornat.
Quique meum gustat fructum iam sanus habetur.
Nam mihi concessum est insanis ferre salutem:
Propterea sapiens optat me in fronte tenere.

&lt;poem&gt;
Angelicas populis epulas dispono frequenter,
Grandisonisque aures verbis cava guttura complent.
Succedit vos sed mihi nulla aut lingua loquendi,
Et bina alarum fulci gestamine cernor;
Quis sed abest penitus virtus iam tota volandi,
Dum solus subter constat mihi pes sine passu.

&lt;poem&gt;
Torrens me genuit fornax de viscere flammae,
Condior invalido et finxit me corpore luscam;
Sed constat nullum iam me sine vivere posse.
Est mirum dictu, cludem in lumina vultus:
Condere non artis penitus molimina possum.

&lt;poem&gt;
Exterius cernor pulcher, formaque decorus.
Interius minus haud mulcent mea viscera caros.
Quotque horae diei sunt, tot mini lumina lucent.
Et sena comptus potior sub imagine crurum,
Unius sed amoena quidem pedis est mihi forma.

==XIII==
&lt;poem&gt;
Reginae cupiunt animis me cernere, nec non
Reges mulcet adesse mei quoque corporis usus.
Nam multos vario possum captare decore.
Quippe meam gracilis faciem iugulaverat hospes:
Nobilior tamen accrescit decor inde genarum.

&lt;poem&gt;
Haud tristis gemino sub nexu vincula gesto.
Vincta resolvo ligata, iterumque soluta ligabo.
Est mirum dictu ardent quod mea viscera flammis.
Nemo tamen sentit fera vinctus damna cremandi;
Sed mulcent ea, plus vinctum quam dulcia mella.

&lt;poem&gt;
Aethereus ternas genitor nos iam peperit hoc,
Sub miserae fato legis de matre sorores.
Invidia namque patris cogit sors frangere fatum.
Una tamen spes est tali sub lege recentis.
Quod mox regalem matris remeamus in alvum.

&lt;poem&gt;
Emerita gemina sortis sub lege tenemur;
Nam tollenti nos stabiles servire necesse est.
Causanti contra cursus comitamur eundo,
Sicque vicissim bis binae conjungimur ambis.
Quippe sorores decreta sat legibua urna.

&lt;poem&gt;
Celsicolae nascor foecunda matris in alvo,
Quae superas penitus sedes habitare solescit.
Sum petulans agilisque fera, insons corporis astu.
Ardua ceu pennis convecta cacumina scando,
Veloci vitans passu discrimina Martis.

&lt;poem&gt;
Discernens totum iuris Natura locavit
Nos pariter geminos una de matre creatos.
Divisi haud magno parvi discrimine collis,
Ut numquam vidi illum, nec me viderit ipse;
Sed cernit sine me nihil, illo nec sine cerno.

Inter mirandum cunctis est caetera quod nunc
Narro quidem; nos produxit genetrix uterinos.
Sed quod contemplor mox illud cernere spernit,
Atque quod ille videt secum mox cernere nolo.
Est dispar nobis visus, sed inest amor unus.

==XX==
&lt;poem&gt;
Unus sum genitus ducifer fratris sine fructu,
Eius sed propriam post ditabor comitatu.
Mortem una vitam deinceps sine fine tenemus.
In vita natum nullus quem creverat unquam,
Hoc qui non credit, verum tunc esse videbit.

==XXI==
&lt;poem&gt;
Est mirum ingrato cunctis quod nomine dicor,
Cum rarum aut dubium, qui me sine vivere constat;
Nec ego privatim constare bono sine possum.
Certum namque bonum si dempserit omne, peribo;
Iam mihi nulla boni innata est substantia veri.

Regem me quondam gnari et dominum vocitabant.
Sceptri dum solus tunc regmen in orbe tenebam.
Pro dolor! heu, socia virtute redactus inermem
Hostilis subito circum me copia cinxit,
Ac deinceps miserum servis servire coegit.

Saucio lethiferis omnes cum morsibus intus;

Egregius vere nullus sine me est, neque felix;

Eximio quondam sedis sum nata parente,

Rubricolor, flammor, flagrat ceu spargine lumen
Scintillans flammae, seu ridet gemma rubore.
Nominis intus apex, medium si nonus haberet,
Gemma rubens iam non essem, sed grando nivalis.

&lt;poem&gt;
Quae me fata manent iuris testor rogitanti,
Nam geminis captus manibus persolvere cogor,
Ius sinuamine complexas et spargere sordes,
Semina quod vitae pululent in pectore solo.

Litterulas summa capitum hortans iungere primas,
Versibus extremas iisdem ex minio coloratas:
Conversus gradiens rursum perscandat ab imo.

Cæterum in illa vacatione collata fuit Vicaria ecclesiæ de Hoctone Domino Simoni de Wendouere; quem Dominus O[liverus], Episcopus Lincolniensis, admisit, ad præsentationem Prioris et Conventus Sancti Albani, et in eandem instituit, per istas litteras suas patentes:—
: &quot;Pateat universis quod nos, Oliverus, permissione divina, Episcopus Lincolniensis, Simonem de Wendore, presbyterum, ad Vicariam ecclesiæ de Hoctone, vacantam, ad quam per Priorem et Conventum Monasterii de Sancto Albano, ipsius monasterii electo in Abbatem in Curia Romana, pro confirmatione electionis ipsius habenda, agente, nobis extitit præsentatus et admissus sexto decimo Kalendas Julii, anno Domini millesimo ducentesimo nonagesimo primo, et vicarium perpetuum, cum onere personaliter ministrandi et continue residendi, canonice instituimus in eadem. In cujus rei testimonium, sigillum nostrum præsentibus est appensum. Datum ''et cætra''.&quot;

{{Marginalia dextra|He is instituted after the Abbot's return.}} Et patet quod præsentatus fuit, et admissus in vacatione, ad præsentationem Prioris et Conventus, licet fuisset institutus post adventum Domini Abbatis de Curia: de quo Abbate nulla fit mentio in institutione.
