On the Interior Senses
Latin Grammar: Infinitives
Imaginativa est virtus retentiva eius quod impressum fuit sensui communi. Retenire autem aliud est quam recipere. Unde aqua recipit formam et figuram sed non retinet eas. Auditus vero recipit [formam] per virtutem levitatis, et retinet per virtutem siccitatis. Si autem contingerit impediri anteriorem partem cerebri, destruetur retentio phantasiarum et sequetur oblivio formarum.
