Orate pro anima Johannis Salusburie Armigeri, qui quidem Johannes Salusburie obiit ii die Mensis Martii A.D. 1289, cujus animae perspicietur Deus.
This appears to mean "Pray ye for the soul of John Salusburie, Knight, who died on 2 March 1289, whose soul shall be examined by God".
But why is animae genitive (rather than nominative), why is Deus nominative (rather than ablative), and what does quidem mean in this context? Ehrenkater (talk) 14:46, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
