(Apologies in advance for cross-posting.)
Here's another request from my colleague and friend, Brian McGuire, for
help in identifying a quotation or allusion in Jean Gerson. It's got me
jiggered, and now both Brian and I turn to the collective wisdom of this
list. If you have a solution for Brian, could you please send it directly
to him in Denmark? I will be setting no-mail for most of January as I'll
be on the road in Europe.
Both Brian and I send you our wishes for a happy new year, and our thanks
for past help.

Dear Mark,
I think you once tried the passage and could find nothing, but someone
somewhere must know:
INDE EMERSIT ILLUD DE GRECIS ELOGIUM QUOD LEGES HABEBANT BONA ET PESSIMA
INGENIA...
Somehow it sounds familiar, but probably just because I have
pondered over it so long in Gerson.
Warmly in a cold time, Brian
