VOL. 47, PT. 5, 19571 ORESME'S VERSION AND ENGLISH TRANSLATION 847<br />
T. Pour lesqueles choses ii est bien convenable que<br />
le honinie et sa femme considerent en propre et en<br />
coninlun.<br />
C. Car aucunes choses sunt propres au mari et aucunes<br />
lropres a la femme et aucunes communes as .ii. ou a toute<br />
Ia maison.<br />
T. Justement et a tous, tant as diex comme as<br />
hoinnies.<br />
C. En obeissant as lays divines et as lays humaines et<br />
en rendant a chescun ce qui est sien, selon le comniandenient<br />
de Dieu qui dit: Reddite que sunt Cesaris Cesari et<br />
que sunt Dei Deo.<br />
7'. Et appartient que le homme, tant 1 comme ii a<br />
vie, consiclere et pense moult de SOY avoir justement a<br />
sa femme et a ses filz et flues et a ses parens.<br />
C. En attribuant et faisant a chescun les honeurs et les<br />
biens que len lui doit faire, jouxte ce que fu dit ou quart<br />
chapitre. Et me semble que les textes sunt corrunipus en<br />
ceste partie ou est dit: Eurn qui habet vitani. Et n'i a pas<br />
bonne construction. //<br />
(348c) Cy fine le <strong>Li</strong>vre de Ycononiique. Et ne est<br />
pas mestier de faire table des notables de si petit livre<br />
et souffist signer les en niarge. Et aussi tous les moz<br />
estranges de cest Iivre stint exposés en la glose de cest<br />
livre ou ii stint exposés en la table des fors rnoz de<br />
Politiqucs.<br />
I .iher iste Politicorum est Henrici Oresme, junioris<br />
canonici Baiocensis.<br />
T. For all these reasons it is indeed proper that<br />
husband and wife consider these matters as individuals<br />
and together.<br />
C. For certain matters are the proper concern of the<br />
husband and certain others are the proper concern of the<br />
wife, while some matters are common to both or to the<br />
entire household.<br />
T. With righteous attitudes towards all, both gods<br />
and men.<br />
G. Obeying divine and human laws, rendering to each<br />
—to God and to man—his due, according to God's command:<br />
"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's<br />
and unto God the things that are God's" [Matt. 22: 21].<br />
T. And it is the duty of the husband while he lives<br />
to reflect and think constantly how he may conduct himself<br />
righteously toward his wife, his sons and daughters,<br />
and his parents.<br />
C. Attributing and offering to each the honors and the<br />
rewards due them, as was stated in the fourth chapter.<br />
And it seems to me that the texts are corrupt in this passage,<br />
where the reading is eurn qü habct vitam. And<br />
there is no good explanation. //<br />
(348c) Here ends the Book of Economics. And it is<br />
unnecessary to draw up a list of notable passages in<br />
such a small book and it is sufficient to point them out<br />
in the margins. Also, all the unusual words in this<br />
book are explained in the glosses or in the alphabetical<br />
table of difficult words in the Book of Politics.<br />
This Book of Politics belongs to Henry Oresme,<br />
junior canon of Bayeux.
