[All]: This FoGT exemplary stanza is close in sentiment to the Doctrinale’s si, quae sunt hominis, assignentur deitati, | anthropospatos est: sic saepe Dei legis iram ‘if those [qualities] of man are assigned to the deity, that is anthropospatos: thus often you read about God’s anger’ (Reichling 1893, 178, ll. 2634-5), the reference to God’s anger being clarified by the commentary to the Doctrinale printed in FoGT 1884, 148 n.
