Although I also never learnt latin, from the similarity of a lot of the words to english....
It seems to be title page of the PhD? thesis defence of Johann Gottfried Schellenberg at the university litteraria berlionesi (Berlin?) Frederica Guilelma
In Germany (and other european countries) to get a PhD one oftem gives a public defence of the thesis involving a presentation by the candidate and then questioning by examiners (and possibly members of the public) I think the format varies a bit from place to place.
I'd guess that the title of his thesis was:
"De curvarum algebraicarum ramis in infinitum excurrentibus"
.....just looked it up in google....it is from a PhD disertation at the Humboldt university Berlin. He was awarded the PhD in maths on the 9.12.1835 apparently.
They seem to have the details from a book:
Prof. em. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Kurt-R. Biermann, "Die Mathematik und ihre Dozenten an der Berliner Universität 1810-1933", Akademie-Verlag Berlin 1973/1988, ISBN: 3-05-500402-7
(Mathematicians and their research students at the Berlin university 1810-1933)
The whole thesis is online at: http://gdz-srv3.sub.uni-goettingen.de/cache/toc/D57401.html
Best regards,
Emily

Probably the CV part of the thesis must be the most interesting from a family history point of view....but for some of it you need someone with really good latin.

My literal translation of the title is "Of the algebraic curves of a branch in infinite projections", but I suspect "ramis" ("branch") has a mathematical meaning I don't know. I'll have a stab at the CV when I get a chance, if you like!

Have you had enough translated now or do you need more? A friend of mine is a Latin scholar and may do another page or so if I ask nicely.

A few ideas while we await a full translation and interpretation!
The paper was delivered at 11 (hora XI = the eleventh hour).
The paper itself is a lot of differential calculus looking at ranges from x (the unknown starting point) to infinity. Even without adequate Latin it brings back bad memories of advanced maths at school. I think the VITA (at the end of the inaugural address) may be very dull. He was born on 12 March 1810 and seems to have attended several institutions, before starting university in 1832. The second half seems to be a list of references to people involved in the paper.
But my Latin is more than just rusty!!

Two of the most likey places you will get this translated is from a Catholic priest who is familiar with latin, or any of the catholiv colleges.
Either that try the nearest University that offer latin as a subject.
