Anyone able to decipher the word circled in red? "....(H)er(aclianus) dixit: hoc ad ????? felicitatem et ad gloriam meam pertinet...."

Came across this fantastic painting in Cambridge, Trinity College, m.s. O.5.5, near the beginning of the Altercatio cum Arrio, Sabellio, et Photino attributed to Athanasius (but prob. of Vigilius of Thapsus). Ath. on left, 3 heretics on right, with a judge or perhaps Constantius II in the center.

The guidebook I have doesn’t say much about Zeno except that he’s a martyr of unknown date. So not the bishop of Verona, who is definitely 4th century.

Today’s edition of reading a book while your kid is at a thing. Finishing up a review of it. Immensely learned.

The next few days outside in Chicago look beautiful though I’ll be mostly inside a hotel at NAPS. Safe travels, everyone!

Anyone good at Latin paleography? Can't quite make out the ending of this word: dexter?s or dexter??s or something else? Thanks!

Nearly every sentence in the first paragraph has something incorrect. The other paragraphs are no better. Another example of AI soulless vagueness.

I think this may be the actual exhibit.

The skull of St Valentine in Santa Maria in Cosmedin in Rome. Memento mori. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, to all who observe the day.

12 hours makes a difference in Assisi but the beauty is constant.
