Irradians sata læta












3














Here are the first three lines of the 2nd of the Prophetiæ Sybillarum, that of the Sybilla Lybica, set to music by Orlandus Lassus, with an English translation from Wikipedia. I haven't sorted out whether Lassus composed the hexameters from legends in circulation or if the Latin text itself comes from the early Christian period.




Ecce dies venient, quo æternus tempore princeps,
Irradians sata læta, viris sua crimina tollet,

Lumine clarescet cuius synagoga recenti:



Behold the days will come, at which time the immortal prince,
sowing abundant crops, shall take away their crimes from men,

whose synagogue will shine with new light;




Is that translation of irradians sata læta right? It seems incongruous, both with the rest of the passage and even itself. Are crops literally læta? Or is there some kind of poetic allusion or license that might explain this? Does sata have a sense other than crops? Or is this a part of the Christian myth that I never heard of before?

          The festivals which typify synagoga are a) harvests and b) ethical.



          a) The princeps irradiates, beams down on, the 'joyful standing corn,' --"Ripens the joyful crops " would fit the word count.
          Sata conveniently does not differentiate between wheat and barley harvests.



          b) Tollet Crimina includes New Year.

          A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

          Image
          0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

          Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn

It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean? If this gives estimate of Y (y prediction) for every Y (true Y), why can't I calculate metrics such as RMSE or coefficient of determination using these results? python scikit-learn cross-validation share | improve this question edited Nov 28 '18 at 17:52 desertnaut 20.3k 7 43 79 ...
