Thesis 11>16

Latin

Ex mysterio trium litterarum quae sunt in dictione sciabat, id est, <Hebrew>, possumus interpretari cabalistice tunc sabbatizare mundum cum dei filius fit homo, et ultimo futurum sabbatum cum homines in dei filium regenerabuntur.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 26709; 1486 print folio <31v/32r>

The sheet's bracketed run '<NAW>' is Farmer's OCR rendering of the Hebrew spelling of 'sciabat' (shabbat), already named in the Latin itself; replaced here with '<Hebrew>' since the letters do not render (a parallel pass of the same page shows the run as '<N1W>', evidently the same OCR failure read twice, farmer1998:26710). The line-broken 'sabbatiza/re' is rejoined as 'sabbatizare', a hyphenation repair, not a variant word.

English

From the mystery of the three letters in the word 'sciabat' (shabbat), that is, [Hebrew text], we may interpret cabalistically that the world then keeps sabbath when the Son of God becomes man, and that a last sabbath is to come when men shall be born again into the Son of God.

'sabbatizare' kept as 'keep sabbath' (to rest, in the manner of the Sabbath) rather than a single English verb; Pico ties this letter-mystery to the shin discussed the thesis before (11>14). 'sciabat' is Pico's transliteration of the Hebrew word; the Hebrew spelling appears only as a placeholder in the Latin field of this draft.
