ON COLORS

A short treatise by ANTONIUS THYLESIUS OF COSENZA, written for the sake of those devoted to the elegance of the Latin language: in which there are many things contrary to the opinion of others.

FROM PLATO’S TIMAEUS ON

Colors, translated by MARSILIO FICINO.

FROM THE ATTIC NIGHTS OF A. GELLIUS,

one chapter on colors.

ITEM, what LAZARUS BAYFIUS noted

on the chapter of A. Gellius.

Together with certain other authors

of the same subject.

LONGOLIUS.

Whoever says Thylesius spoke ignorantly of color,
Since he is a poet, he did not sketch the hues.
To him, I say, he should weep or listen to the letters,
Just as one describes a painter as a rhetorician, Thylesius.
