The language test in the United Kingdom

This passage IS part of a 'letter' Written by Francesco Petrarch to Marcus Tullius Cicero. Petrarch Lived from 1304 to 1374 and WAS one of The First Intellectuals of the Renaissance in Italy. He Is Often Referred to as the 'Father of Humanis'. In 1345 Petrarch had personally discovered a previously unknown collection of Cicero’s letters written to Atticus. The letters revealed a lot about Cicero’s philosophy and his personal feelings about many issues, and showed that he often gave good advice to others.
In this passage Petrarch gives Cicero his opinion of some of Cicero’s actions, referring to sections
of the letters he discovered - but his admiration for Cicero is apparent even when he criticises him.

Vocabulary and other help, in alphabetical order :
apud superos = ‘written in the land of the living’- Petrarch is giving his ‘address’!
casus : remember this is a 4th declension noun
cogitantem : translate this before ‘de’ on the previous line
conveniens : this agrees with a neuter noun
corruo corruere corrui to fall in a heap, be in a state of ruin
dominus -i m. (here) = a tyrant
fasces : the ceremonial axes, can be used metaphorically to mean ‘political power’
fundo –ere fudi fusus to pour out, to speak, to say
inflo –are –avi –atus (inflasse = inflavisse) to breathe out, blow into, to puff up, make proud
inhio –are -avi -atus (inhiasse-inhiavisse) to breathe in, to gape at, look at open-mouthed, to covet
praeceptor -oris m. a guide, teacher, mentor
simultas -atis f. argument, rivalry, disagreement leading to fierce enmity
vario –are –avi –atus to have or give opinions on a wide range of issues
People referred to in the passage, in alphabetical order :
Antonius : Mark Antony, whom Cicero hated, criticising him in his Philippics.
Brutus : he criticised Cicero’s actions.
Catiline : (there was really only one Catiline!) When Cicero was consul he was very
proud of his actions in crushing the conspiracy started by this man. Cicero had
several Roman citizens put to death for supporting Catiline.
Octavian : he later became more famous as Augustus. Cicero supported him.

N.B. You might like to know that the school which hosts the Italian CICERO competition is named after Maffeo Vegio, who was another Italian humanist born in Lodi, near Milan, in 1407. He is regarded by some as the finest Latin poet of the 15th century and he composed a ‘Book XIII’ for Virgil’s Aeneid, telling of Aeneas’ marriage to Lavinia and his subsequent deification.

U6 translate the whole passage. L6 omit paragraphs 3 and 4.

Franciscus Ciceroni suo salutem.
1. epistulas tuas diu quaesitas avidissime perlegi. multa te dicentem, multa deplorantem, multa variantem audire videor, Marce Tulli, et ego, qui iampridem qualis praeceptor aliis fuisses noveram, nunc tandem qualis tu tibi esses agnovi. haec vicissim audi, ubicumque es, quae unus posterorum, tui nominis amantissimus, non sine lacrimis fundit.
2. o inquiete semper atque anxie, vel – ut verba tua recognoscas – ‘o praeceps et calamitose senex’, quid tibi profuerunt tot contentiones et simultates? ubi et aetati et professioni et fortunae tuae conveniens otium reliquisti? quis falsus gloriae splendor te senem adulescentium bellis implicuit et per omnes iactatum casus ad indignam philosopho mortem rapuit?
3. heu et fraterni consilii immemor et tuorum tot salubrium praeceptorum, ceu nocturnus viator lumen in tenebris ferens, ostendisti secuturis viam, in quo ipse satis miserabiliter lapsus es.
4. sed quis te furor in Antonium impegit ? amor fortasse reipublicae, (quamquam eam funditus iam corruisse fatebaris tu ipse!) quodsi pura fides, si libertas te trahebat, quid tibi tam familiare cum Octavio? quid enim Bruto tuo inimico responsurus es? ‘si quidem’ inquit Brutus, ‘Octavius tibi placet, non dominum odisse sed amiciorem dominum quaesisse videberis’.
5. heu, quanto satius fuerat philosopho praesertim in tranquillo rure senuisse, de ‘perpetua illa’, ut ipse scribis, ‘non de hac iam exigua vita cogitantem’; nullos habuisse fasces, nullis triumphis inhiasse, nullis inflasse tibi animum Catilinis.
6. sed haec quidem frustra. aeternum vale, mi Cicero. apud superos, ab anno ortu Dei illius quem non noveras you, MCCCXLV.

The language test 2010 in France

discovering in 1345 a manuscript of the Letters of Cicero, Petrarch decided to assemble his own correspondence with his contemporaries, and it adds a number of fictional letters written to his beloved ancients. In an excerpt from one of two letters to Cicero, Petrarch pays tribute to the philosopher and he regrets that he has strayed into politics ...

Epistola tuas, atque ubi diu search multumque minimal rebar such device, auidissime perlegi . Audiui you dicentem multa, multa deplorantem, multa uariantem, Marce Tulli, et, qui iampridem qualis praeceptor aliis fuisses noueram, nunc tandem quis tu tibi esses agnoui.
O inquiete semper atque anxie, uel – ut uerba tua recognoscas – « o praeceps et calamitose senex », quid tibi tot contentionibus et prorsum nihil profuturis simultatibus uoluisti ? Ubi et aetati et professioni et fortunae tuae conueniens otium reliquisti ? Quis falsus gloriae splendor te senem adolescentium bellis implicuit et per omnes casus iactatum ad indignam philosopho mortem rapuit ?

Heu et fraterni consilii immemor et tuorum tot salubrium praeceptorum, ceu octurnus uiator lumen in tenebris gestans, ostendisti secuturis callem in quo ipse satis iserabiliter lapsus es. Nimirum quid enim iuuat alios docere, uid ornatissimis uerbis semper de uirtutibus loqui prodest, si te interim ipse non audias ? Ah ! quanto satius fuerat philosopho praesertim in tranquillo rure senuisse, de « perpetua illa », ut ipse quodam scribis loco, « non de hac iam exigua uita cogitantem », nullos habuisse fasces, nullis triumphis inhiasse, nullos inflasse tibi animum Catilinas.

The language test 2010 in Spain and Tunisia

In Tunisia, the test version latine rendait hommage à Hannibal, avec le fameux passage où Tite-Live montre le chef carthaginois aux portes de Rome : Hannibal ad portas !
.
Hannibal est aux portes de Rome… Maharbal avait raison !

.

Post pugnam apud Cannas, omnes Poeni gaudentes felicem Hannibalem laudaverunt qui, annos triginta tantum natus, veteres et peritos duces vicerat ; Maharbal vero, unus e ducibus, imperatorem acribus verbis reprehendit : « Non omnia Hannibali dei dederunt : vincere scis, Hannibal ; victoriae fructum capere nescis. Cur quiescis ? Cur Roman non petis ? ».
Quem Hannibal non audivit. Exercitu enim in Campaniam ducto, Capuam occupavit quam sine vi ceperat, ibique per magnam hiemis partem mansit. Jucundissima urbs erat, in qua domus et horti, mulieres et convivia milites delectaverunt, quibus mox virtus defuit ; nam disciplina carebant. Illos Poenos, quos neque altae Alpes neque arma Romana vicerant, voluptates novi generis confecerunt.

Itaque, nullo telo jacto, Capua Hannibali tam gravis casus fuit quam caedes apud Cannas Romanis fuerat. Romani autem, quibus praesidia adversus Poenorum impetum deerant, vires prudenti ratione reficere incipiunt. Quo autem exercitu ? Quibus armis ? Qua pecunia ? Servos liberant et armant ; in templis vetera hostium tela capiunt ; Patres manibus suis aurum ac bona in senatum portant. Prudentissimis consulibus lectis, adversus talem hostem non virtute tantum, sed etiam consiliis pugnare coeperunt.

Itaque Hannibal per quinque annos in Campania mansit neque bellum conficere potuit. Castra haud procul ab Urbe semel posuit et equites ad Romae portas misit. Sed mox, metu consulum cum exercitu venientium, ad Capuam cessit.

Fannium et Quintum Scaevolam, generos Laeli, doctos adulescentes, iam aetate quaestorios; quos cum omnes salutavisset, convertit se in porticu et coniecit in medium Laelium; dein cum essent perpauca inter se uno aut altero spatio conlocuti, Scipionique eorum adventus periucundus et pergratus fuisset, placitum est ut in aprico pratuli loco, quod erat hibernum tempus anni, considerent; quod cum facere vellent, intervenit vir prudens omnibusque illis et iucundus et carus, M'.
