medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Victoria Reed,
Is your "udere" not so "udere", but "uidere" = "videre", being moreover a
paleography error?
Just a suggestion,

> Would anyone know the meaning of the Latin verb "udere" (NOT "udare")? The
> context is as follows:
> "An quidquam est tam pronu ad libidines, quam...udere
> oculis...?" (Ambrose). In a German translation I have found of this
> passage, the meaning is given as "roll", but I cannot confirm this in any
> Latin dictionary.

> The other passage I have struggled with involves the word "magis" and its
> precise meaning in this context. John Chrysostom is condemning dancing,
> saying that "God gave us feet not...so that we might leap (or dance) about
> like camels," and proceeds, in parentheses, "nam et cameli saltantes
> ingratum spectaculum edunt, moltoque magis mulieres." Perhaps
> "magis" means "better"? Or might it mean "more often", or something else?
>
> If anyone can lend a hand with these I would greatly appreciate it.

> Many thanks,
