Note TR1 — VII. The Arts and Sciences

H. W. (Henry William) Auden translation

Transcriber's Note: the original text has indeed "to listen to a person". The French edition gives "prêter l'oreille, écouter quelqu'un". Both seem to be wrong because the original German footnote says: "Es ist nicht hierfür audientia zu gebrauchen, welches Wort nur in der Redensart audientiam facere alicui oder orationi alicuius einem 'Gehör verschaffen', vorkommt." Compare also Lewis & Short, "A Latin Dictionary", entry "audientia".
