[15] _Primum namque cum fari vel balbutire incipiunt, turpia
quaedam et execrabilia valde signis et vocibus edocentur pueri ii
nondum nati: et cum tempus ablactationis advenerit quaedam luxu
et lascivia plena non solum fari sed et operari coguntur.... Sed
et cum paulo plusculum aetate profecerint, se ipsis impellentibus,
semper ad deteriora opera dilabuntur._ 1 Cel., 1.

impossible in her having been of Provencal origin, but there is
nothing to indicate it in any document worthy of credence. She
was no doubt of noble stock, for official documents always give
her the title _Domina_. Cristofani I., p. 78 ff. Cf. _Matrem
honestissimam habuit_. 3 Soc., Edition of Pesaro, 1831, p. 17.

[17] The reading given by the _Conform_., 14a, 1, _Meritorum
gratia dei filium ipsum noveritis affuturum_, seems better than
that of 2 Cel., 1, 1, _Multorum gratia Dei filiorum patrem ipsum
noveritis affuturum_. Cf. 3 Soc., 2.
