Salvete! I'll keep my comments in English so that a wider audience may respond/offer insights to some rather doubtful passages/expressions.
First thing here: any idea what ab inclinatione could refer to? Surely this is about the ongoing fall of the empire in the West? Maybe "alteration, change"?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember Pacifica once explained this particular mediaevalism ut est videre or something of the like, but I don't exactly recall what that was.
"as one can see" perhaps?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
caeperant - surely a mediaeval corruption of ceperant?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cum eos ??? Surely not the preposition but the conjunction was meant?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"vituperium" ---> meaning clear enough, however, no such word exists in either L&S or OLD; another mediaevalism, I take it?
Again, any input, insights, or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
