Explanation:
I think this is the right spelling - if I remember well, it should mean beautiful thing, a thing to be admired

There is a famous saying and more


Explanation:
Yves (St.) (1 syl.). Patron saint of lawyers, being himself a lawyer. As he used his knowledge of the law in defending the oppressed, he is called in Brittany “the poor man's advocate.”

“Advocatus, sed non latro,
Res miranda populo.”
Hymn to St. Yves.

Lawyer, not robber,
a wonder to the lowly

I concur with my colleagues on the translation. In this context, I would word it as above.

Res Miranda could also refer to a judge's docket, where "res" means "case" and Miranda is a famous case in the United States.

3. There is no Rose
Anonymous

There is no rose of such vertu
As is the rose that bare Jesu.
Alleluia.

For in this rose conteined was
Heaven and earth in litel space,
Res miranda. [Marvelous thing.]
By that rose we may well see
There be one God in persons three,
Pares forma. [Equal in nature.]

The aungels sungen the shepherds to
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gaudeamus. [Let us rejoice.]

Leave we all this werldly merth
And follow we this joyous birth,
Transeamus. [Let us pass over.]

In a Christmas carol
