Rare is the market which traffics in wisdom. Explanation: The word order can throw you off. "Rarum" must qualify "forum" (n.). Lit. "A rare market does mixing with wisdom." Hope this helps. |

just a comment Explanation: Isn't your sentence perhaps "Raram fecit mixturam cum sapientia forma"? The translation is "Rare is a combination of wisdom and beauty" and it's from Petronius' Satyricon, 94. (See ref. 1 for the Latin text, ref. 2 for the English translation). Good luck.
