| Abstract: | This short poem emphasizes the distinction between true wisdom and worldly knowledge. Nollius suggests that a person who loves the material world and neglects God cannot be considered truly wise. True wisdom, according to Nollius, is achieved by those who are united with philosophers through nature, God, and long experience, and are grounded in truth. (generated by Chat-GPT) |

Ad Optimum, Clarissimum & Doctissimum Anastasium Philaretum Cosmopolitam, amicum suum amicißimum.
Non erit in numero sapientum fertur amore
Quicunque in mundum, negligit atque Deum.
Quem Natura, Deus, longa experientia, veris
Jungit Philosophis, verus is esto Sophus.
Henricus Nollius, Doct[or] & Profess[or] Steinf[urtensis].

He who neglects the world and God, they say,
