How do you "write from memory?" Does this mean he wrote the treatises using only reference material that he had in memory? Or does mean something else like he wrote and edited them in memory, and then only wrote them to paper once the work was completed?TheClassic 14:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The first one, of course. He wrote what he remembered. Lars 15:54, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I talked to Bogdangiusca about this yesterday, and he agreed that back in 1862, the word meant "clearheaded". According to a 1901 Italian-English dictionary, the word meant "very clear (a title given to scholars)". And in Galileo's 16th century writing, he uses the word chiaro to mean "clearly". — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-17 02:20

Also, the verse already has the word "famoso", and I doubt that he would use the same word (famous) repeatedly." — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-17 02:25

Actually, if the 1901 dictionary is the most accurate, it would mean "scholarly/celebratory acclaim", which I've translated as "celebrated". — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-17 02:37

• clear-headed is "having a clear understanding (of something): perceptive" (Webster's). (not enough for a title or a word of praise). Chiarissimo = "very bright, smart or famous". Chiaro < old it. claro, see Lat. clarus). We write that on our papers. In Italy, chiarissimo is the title by which you address your professor. Most scholarly words in Renaissance Italian are calques from Latin, so you may double-check these words in a Latin dictionary. --Wikipedius 21:45, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
