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