Thesis 3>22

Latin

Nemo miretur quod Anaxagoras intellectum appellauerit immixtum, cum sit maxime mixtus, quia maxima mixtio coincidit cum maxima simplicitate in natura intellectuali.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 20555

English

No one should wonder that Anaxagoras called the intellect unmixed although it is in fact supremely mixed, since the greatest mixture and the greatest simplicity coincide in the intellectual nature.

Sense checked; no further crux.
