This text is part of one of Abbess Hildegard of Bingen's books. She was a very wise woman who, in addition to writing on religious subjects, also wrote books of a scientific nature, such as the Liber simplicis medicinae sive Physica (1151-1158). In it, she talks about the healing qualities of everything that surrounds us in nature. Some of her advice may seem naive and unscientific, but it must be placed in the context of this time, the 12th century, when such treatises were the 'science' of the day. There is other advice that is still being passed on today in phytotherapy (herbal therapy), even if it cannot replace today's advanced pharmacology. 

Read this excerpt from the Liber tertius, De arboribus, and complete the following activities:

De Palma.[1] Palma calida est et humida. [2] Homo autem qui pleurisim habet, de cortice, et de ligno, et de foliis eiusdem arboribus contundat, et succum exprimat, et in calido vino saepe bibat et curabitur. [3] Sed et fructum eiusdem arboribus saepe comedat, et pleurisim in ipso compescit.

1- With the help of the given vocabulary, translate the text.

Autem: as regards
Pleuresis,-is (Greek, pleura: ribs): pleurisy or pleuritis, inflammation of the pleura, the membrane covering the lungs.
Habere: to have.
Lignum,-i (n.): wood.
Eiusdem arboribus: from the same tree (grammatically incorrect form, perhaps on purpose to simulate ignorance).
Contundere: to crush.
Saepe: often.
Curabitur (future passive of curare): will be cured, will cure itself.
Sed: but.
In ipso: with this.
Compescere: to repress, to stop.

2-  Determine, according to their evolution in Spanish, the patrimonial and cultisms:

calida > cálida (warm)

pleurisim > pleuresía (pleurisy)

ligno > leña (firewood)

cortice > corteza (tree bark) 

folia > hoja (leaf)

succum > jugo (juice)

vino > vino (wine)

fructum > futo (fruit)

3) You can continue to work on inherited/learned words:

4) Analyse the phonetic changes in the inherited words.

5) Words that have evolved into inherited ones can be found as learned in other derivative words, e.g. "lignario": of wood. Think of one containing the root of succus, cortex, folia and fructum.

6) Sometimes, the Latin word was introduced very early into Castilian, evolved semantically and phonetically, and later that same Latin voice was reintroduced into the language with its original form and meaning, giving rise to a doublet: a Latin etymo that has given rise to an inherited word and a learned word.

From calidus,-a,-um there is also the patrimonial doublet, which is it?
