Latin will 1474

[grantleydawn]

I can dream that one day (in my lifetime) we could scan a document like this and the end result is a document translated in the language of our choice.

But then again, that would take all the fun out of it.

It just takes me a bit longer as the years progress.

This section has given me the most grief.

Sorry for so many missing words.

I know there are no second prizes, but I did get close to some of those missing words. I think I just gave up trying all the possible variables.

The last word on line 2-4 and the first of 2-5 “n(ost)ram an(te)d(i)c(t)am” was just way too hard for me. Actually, it was exhausting.

Come to think of it, someone has to come last and it was me (again).

A huge thank you.

“n(ost)ram an(te)d(i)c(t)am” was just way too hard for me.

An(te)d(i)c(t)am is a mean contraction, as it’s not common to omit -te- in the middle like that. But we did have the same phrase in line 8, where you very nearly got it. 

Seriously, you’re doing a great job, and I feel sure you will overtake me before we reach the finishing post.

I hope that I am not expecting too much. Here is the next bit.

(I'm not sure what’s written before Sigillat')

Revisiting 2-14, I now wonder if it’s an(n)ex(atum) sigillat(um) dat(um) = annexed, sealed (and) given ?

[grantleydawn]

For the bulk of your additions, they are mostly so obvious, especially when someone else does it.

Some of the contractions are a bit too much - Tr(anslacio)nis

Your "an(n)ex(atum)" seems a good choice, especially when line 2-18 includes “p(rese)ntibus annex(is) nominat(is) et deputat(is)”.

Thank you very much.
