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.
