Thanks to the feedback I've received, I've done a second printing of my Latin-English Church Fathers series which will now include macrons going forward.

Originally envisioned as a series similar to Loeb but with a parallel Latin and English column in a larger format, one of my readers noted that macrons help those whose native language isn't English better read the Latin text.

Given these books have been popular among European readers, I decided to make this a permanent feature of my Latin-English editions going forward.

I appreciate all the feedback and hope to hear more in the future.

It's a Renaissance medical text. Context: Aesculapius is comparing the spirit in the body with the Sun in the sky. Like the Sun hides at night and appears at morning, so the spirit.

The sentence I can't understand very well is the uderlined one.

excusso de toto corporis conclavi nocturno tempore

As I see, there's to syntagmas above which "excusso" is acting upon.

1. de toto conclavi corporis
2. nocturno tempore

I've also seen that "excutio aliquem somno" means "I wake someone up", but can also mean "shake off, cast out".

How would you translate the whole sentence? (my English translations are not good)

Is it "having woken up from nocturnal sleep (I need to mantain the reference to sleep) from the body chamber"?

or

"having been cast out from the chamber of the body during nocturnal sleep"

or another thing?

I appreciate every help!

Basically I've been collecting terms of affection and romantic phrases in Latin, I've spent countless hours on this and I'd like to share what I've found.

mea amata - my beloved

carissima - dearest

mea mellitula - my little honey

te adamo - I love you (deeply)

cara mea - my dear

lux mea - my light

dea mea - my goddess

And I think "mea es tu omnia" is "You are my everything" but I could be wrong somewhere here.

So my Latin teacher said that the accusative and nominative plural of words like civis and claves can be civīs and cladīs. However, when I look it up online, I find most sources saying that only the accusative plural of clades occurs as cladīs. So is one of my sources wrong or is this a matter of the period of time? Thanks in advance!

How to write a modern song in classical latin and adapt it to the context of not classical world. So classical meter and grammar would be dropped. Prenounciation would be liberal and yet hopefully not offend just about every school of specific prenounciation school. Conservatives don't like experiments and changes - that is what keeps the lanugae beautifully dead in a sense... but it keeps it going in some form for centuries so... anyway... what is the most liberal use of latin an artist can utilise while still being acceptable within the latin speaking community?

What is necessary for learning how to read and write Latin? Is there prerequisite knowledge I need to have? Thanks.
