Sapere auso is translated incorrectly[edit]

The Latin phrase sapere auso is similar to the one used by Horace in his Epistulae 1,2: Sapere aude- Dare to know, or more properly: Dare to be wise, sapere being an infinitiveof sapio, and aude second person singular imperative of audeo. Horace is a source for this without any doubt. But the version sapere auso means rather for the one who dared to think [or one must dare try in order to be wise], as auso is a singular dative from ausus, the one who dared to know.

I believe a better English translation is very possible, but the current article version is very misleading. Kameal (talk) 11:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fundamental work is missing[edit]

The article has no info about the fundamental Konarskis's work, O skutecznym rad sposobie or On the efficient way of organizing the Sejm assemblies [the literal translation: On the efficient way of [making] the councils. It is a progressive tract on basic issues in the Polish internal affairs (mainly the liberum veto) as well as a masterpiece of rhetorical style.

Theo other works of Konarski are also worthy of an mention. Kameal (talk) 11:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
