To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And if our opponent were to say that in other things nobility is understood to be the goodness therefore, but in man is understood as the for- getfulness of his low estate, one would like to answer not with words but with the knife to such stupidity as would give goodness to the cause of nobility in other things, but in man forgetfnl- ness as its origin. The third difficulty is that those generated would often come before the generation, which is quite impossible ; and this may be demonstrated ...thus: Let us suppose that Gherardo de Cammino was a grandson of the lowest peasant that ever drank of Sile or Cagnano, and that his grandfather were not yet buried in oblivion; who would dare to say that Gherardo de Cammino was not noble T And who would not agree with me in saying that he was QobleT Certainly none, however presump- tuous they may wish to be, because he was noble and such will his memory ever be. And if his ignoble ancestors had not been utterly forgotten (as our opponent asserts) and he had become noble and lus nobility were as evident as we see it to be, then it would have existed in him before its generation had existed, and this is perfectly impossible.
