Description
his treatise in the "De contemptu mundi " genre: De Cognitione Humanæ Conditionis (DjVu pp. 247ff.): gotta love the alliterative 2nd sent. of ch. 2 (PDF pp. 250-1): "Peccatores peccatorem in peccato suo genuerunt, et de peccato nutriverunt. […] Nihil aliud est homo quam sperma fetidum, saccus stercorum, cibus vermium. " (Reminds me of Hamlet 's "breeders of sinners".) So much for "human dignity" and pride!
Engl. transl. in PDF pp. 31-2 of this.
