Latin to English translations [PRO] Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature
Latin term or phrase:aufus
I'm looking for feedback on this translation...
"Aufus" is not in any of my lexicons. I'm wondering if it is a Medieval rendering of Classical "ablatus."
Here is the original:
... quod nimis inscitè aufus est Olaus Rudbeckius, qui à se commissum errorem, Saxoni & Eddæ Resenianæ atribuit, Atlanticæ capite vicesimo octavo , sectione prima ... Hanc si inspexisset accuratiùs dominus Rudbeckius, vel ex folis nominibus deprehendisset ...
Here is my rendering so far:
...because he has too little knowledge, Olaus Rudbeckius is carried away, [and] he himself commits an error, attributing the Saxoni and the Eddas to Reseniana, to Atlantica the twenty-eighth chapter, first section... if Mister Rudbckius had undertaken a careful study, he could not have helped but notice the names on the page...
