MABB v6.6.6

Illud Divinum Insanus



<!-- m -->http://www.season-of-mist.com/news/morb ... 2011-03-09<!-- m -->

What does it translate as?

Illud = The Former, The Great, The Famous

Divinum = Divine, Divinity, God

Insanus = Mad, Insane, Twisted



More or less what "AZAGTHOTH" (as in the Necronomicon) means.

I like it

The 7" Nevermore vinyl will have another song from the album as a B side

FUCKIN' GREAT!!

Nice and original title...

Not quite. You can't just look up word by word and translate Latin like that. Don't mean to come off as arrogant or anything, but I am a Masters student studying classics (Latin, Greek, and the ancient world in general). I've been reading Latin for 8 years now so hopefully I can offer some insight here.



"DIvinum" does not transliterate to "divinity" or "god". It sounds like it, but it is incorrect. Rather it means 'prophet', or 'diviner/soothsayer/auger' , 'one who has divinely inspired knowledge', or at most 'god-like'.



"insanus" when used in a religious/god-related phrase means "possessed".



"illud" is simply used a demonstrative here.





Plus!!!!! it is incorrect. It should be: illud divinUS insanus. The way the spelled divinus,-a,-um is wrong. They have a neuter demonstrative, masculine adjective noun, but a neuter noun that it modifies.



divinum: neuter, accusative, singular

insanus: masculine, nominative, singular

illud: neiter, accusative, singular



So...... if corrected it means: "That possessed prophet"



As it stands... well, it is nothing. It says "Possessed XXXXX[blank-no word for it to modify], XXXXXXX [missing verb], the prophet.





It's not really Latin at all.



It is just random Latin words.



It seems as if they chose cognates from a dictionary and thought that it worked.... it doesn't. This is beyond embarrassing .

oh man, that is harsh. i wonder if they've sent everything out for printing already

You're right, it should be INSANUS, that's the way I remebered it anyway.Insanum doesn't appear in my dictionary.And I wanted to translate it for the guys(here) but I can't, I think it's just a cool name.

Actually insanum is an actual Latin word. When you use a Latin dictionary you don't see every form of the word. You see, Latin is what's called an inflected language. Meaning that the endings of the words tell you what it is doing in the sentence. In English when you say: "Tom gave the red book to Sally" you know just what's happening because of WORD ORDER. But... In Latin word order doesn't matter, rather you know that "Tom" is the subject because the word will end with a nominative case ending, you know that "book" is the object because it has an accusative case ending, you know that "red" is an adjective modifying the object [book] because it directly precedes it (in some cases word order does matter) and is the same gender, number, and case. You know that the action is happening in the present tense and is indicating a fact since the Latin verb would have the present singular indicative case-ending. You know that "Sally" is the direct object (meaning that whom is receiving the directing action) because in Latin it would have the dative case-ending. So.... you can re-arrange the words almost endlessly and it would say the same thing.



For English and German (to some extent) for example, the word order lets you know what's going on. In Latin you could take that aforementioned example and phrase it as: "the Book to Sally gives Tom red" and it would make sense and come through as: "Tom gave the red book to Sally" due to the appropriate case endings.





That being said..... in a Latin dictionary what you find is not all the variants of each word, since there are dozens of possible ending for each noun and adjective, and almost 100 different endings for each verb. So a long time ago philologists determined how to catalogue the words you find in a dictionary. Long story short: all nouns listed are listed alphabetically showing only their nominative singular form. For adjectives (modifying words like "pretty", "tall", "fat", etc,...) what is listed is the word in its masculine form (each adjective, generally, can be of either masculine, feminine and neuter). The typical feminine ending is "-a" as in an adjective like 'parva' meaning small. If you are calling a feminine person/place/thing small then it would be preceded by 'parva', but if it is a masculine person/place/thing it would be preceded by 'parvus', and if it were neuter it would be preceded by 'parvum'.



But..... if you try to look up 'parvum' you won't find it in a dictionary. Because it is under 'parvus'. Adjectives are listed under their masculine nominative singular case-ending, followed by the terminations of the other two genders.....



so..... in the case of 'insanum', yes, it is not in any dictionary. But look at 'insanus', and what you'll see is the entry: "insanus, -a, -um".





Nonetheless, the title is wrong. And I have sent an email to Vadim in an attempt to let the band know asap.





Maybe it'll be fixed after a short printing and the typo-ed albums will be rare collector pieces!!

Thanks for the explanation there sworn

I just typed the words into google and see what they meant. I also noticed that the word "Divinum" should be "Divinus".

After doing some more thinking, these two possible variants are good corrections:







1. illud divinum insanum -----> that possessed prophet ... although these are all made neuter, so "prophet" is neuter, so, maybe it's a eunuch???



2. ille divinus insanus -----> that possessed prophet







not a good Latin phrase anyway you cut it....

Sworn, you should write to Trey or Vincent directly, instead of writing to Vadimvon.

If you would ask trey the meaning behind it, he would probably just answer "Well it's just for fun you know, all these little titles. Just for fun. I'm a funny person. I'm a goof."

It sounds more of something David would have come up with, rather then Trey.

Excellent and concise analysis...

imo that is a boring post. that kind of bullshit doesnt really interest me at all. i dont really care about languages, and especially dont care about technicalities of languages.



i suspect i will be in the minority



and i think i may be slightly exaggerating



who decides on these rules anyway?

Your use of the word bullshit infuriates me. Dont just rubbish entire schools of thought/historical epistemologies just because you dont get it.



You dont say 'that one there' when referring to whatever artery you want to cut or whatever medical shit you do.



If you dont like language or history dont type or refer to the past. Ever.



I said EVER!

this title su.cks

Awesome sounding album title, much better than anything I was expecting.



MA usually aren't numpties. The translation may be incorrect, but I suspect there may be an intent behind the seeming grammatical error.

Either way, it's unique to MA.

Hey TranscendingMusic, have you any theory about release date?

I mean that where it comes from??

i theorize that it will be released on the 7th of june in the us, and the 6th of june in europe

What is the reason

Still no word back from Vadimvon.... That was the only email address that I could find that could get to the band.



If someone has an email address that could reach David or Trey send me a PM.

Doesn't David handle his own Facebook account? I'm pretty certain Trey does his own.
