Latin to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / Canon law | | Latin term or phrase: fautoribus latioris | This is from an ecclesiastical text about marriage annullment.
The sentence is: "Qua re novis atque gravibus accensentur argumentis, a fautoribus latioris huis viae..."
I've got: "For which reason, these things may be added to new and significant evidences *by patrons of the law proposer of this course*"....
which doesn't make much sense to me! Does anyone know what it means?
I read somewhere that "lator" means "proposer of the law" but I can't seem to make sense of it.... |

| | by the promoters of this more lax/loose way | Explanation:
Based on the limited context you provide, this is my guess. I take "latioris" as being the comparative form of "latus, -a, -um" meaning wide, loose, spacious, and hence lax. Here it is in the genitive singular case as an adjective modifying viae.

Another possible translation of "latioris" is "more permissive." The translation chosen will depend on the tone and connotation given to this term in the rest of the text, and that only you can decide. |
