On Snow
Latin Grammar: Adjectives
| Nix est impressio generata ex vapore frigido et humido, in infirma medii | |
| interstitii aeris congelato in corpus nubis a mediocri frigido respectu | |
| pruinae, propter admixtionem caliditatis in parte, quae caliditas inclusa in | |
| eius substantia et non statim devicta, a frigore circumstante rarefacit eius | |
| substantiam et mollificat, recipiens albedinem in colore, propter victoriam | (5) |
| frigoris, in fine atque propter expansionem et dispersionem partium | |
| nubium et propter frigus debilitatum a calore, frangitur in partes latas ad | |
| similitudinem fractae testae a debili virtute frangentis. Ut dicit | |
| Aristoteles nix generatur in nube frigida, minus tamen frigida est quam | |
| illa in qua grando congelatur. Et hoc attestatur mollities nivis, quia | (10) |
| caliditas admixta nubi prohibet partes eius inspissari et vehementius | |
| aggregari. Nix ergo aqua est durior et siccior ex frigore constringente, | |
| grandine tamen mollior est ex admixtione caloris in ventre nubis. |
