Hi,
I found a very pretty medival woodcut in an astrology book and I didn't pay as much attention in High School Latin (many, many years ago) as I should've : ) The Phrase reads (as near as I can tell) "Altior Incubuit, Animus Subimaqine Mundi"...The "mundi" I remembered, lol, it should be world or universe. And if "animus" is the same from psychology class, would it be soul, spirit, mind, conciousness, will or memory? I tried looking the words up and came up with:
Altior= nourish, cherish, support, sustain, maintain, keep
Incubit= to hang over, lie heavily upon, dwell in, watch over
Animus= soul, spirit, mind, conciousness, will, memory
Subimanqine= to put down, suddenly, unexpectedly, to yolk beneath, join, attach, subdue, subjugate
Mundi= world or universe
Would this translation be close...
Keep watch over (us?,) joining (together our) spirits/souls/minds/consciousness' and the universe/ or world?
I know it's a strange request, but it's *such* a pretty picture, lol! : )
Thanks!
