§ According to the BIBLIA VVLGATA LATINA [1998 post Chr.] Jesus of Nazareth and a leper had this encounter and conversation:

"Et venit ad eum leprosus deprecans* eum et genu flectens* et dicens* ei: 'Si vis, potes me mundare'. Et misertus extendens* manum suam tetigit eum et ait illi: 'Volo mundare!' et statim discessit ab eo lepra et mundatus est. Et infremuit in eum statimque eiecit illum et dicit ei: 'Vade... ostende te sacerdoti'" [Mc.1].

    "I see good in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel: I am nursing the Lord himself" [quoted in her obituary, Sept. 7, 1997].
    VOCABVLA: every: omnis,e. human-being: homo,hominis-c. when=cum. Nurse=nutrire,alere,sustinere. himself [soon in class]=ipsum. Lord: dominus,i-m.

"Sigismundus Caesar, Caroli IV Romanorum imperatoris filius, Senis* conceptus fuit, in Bohemia vero natus.../...Mariam, Ludovici regis Hungariae filiam, in matrimonium sibi collocavit, propter quam et regnum Hungariae suscepit. plurima tamen in eo passus est +rebellantibus saepius Hungaris+, quorum propria mutatio est. Conspiraverunt autem semel Hungari manusque in Sigismundum iniicere cogitarunt*... 'animadverti - inquit [Sigismundus] - Hungari, vos huc me captum venisse++. Sed videbo ego quis vestrum tam audax, tam temerarius tamque sceleratus erit... Liga me, quisquis es audax! accipe regem tuum! nec te homines nec superi impunitum relinquent'. Exterruit itaque omnes constantia Sigismundi ac magnanimitas".
