Scibile
Posted: Fri Oct 03, 2008 12:57 pm
Surprise! I can’t find an accurate translation in English for a word and, double surprise, couldn’t even find it adopted as in the case of hubris.
The word is scibile, current Italian for ‘all the human knowledge’, from Latin scibile, ‘knowledgeable‘, from scire, knowledge.
The only translation offered for scibile is ‘knowledge’ and I find this quite limitative.
Can anyone suggest a more satisfactory one-word translation?
