Note 23 — Book I. Choice of Words, Rhythmical Composition of Sentences
Reading edition
“Unius clausule integrum membrum.” Clausula is consistently used to mean what we now call a sentence. It is so defined below (folio 6): “De clausulis quoque sequitur ut agamus, quoniam ex distinctionibus clausule compinguntur. Clausula igitur est plurium distinctionum continuatio ambitum perfectum sententie comprehendens.” The author adds that it is otherwise used abusive. His definition agrees with Fierville, 119.
