    • c. 1307, Dante Alighieri, “Trattato quarto, Capitolo IX [Fourth Treatise, Chapter Nine]”, in Convivio [The Banquet]‎[1], Florence: Le Monnier, published 1964, section 13:
      sì come pescare pare aver parentela col navicare, e conoscere la vertù de l’erbe pare aver parentela con l’agricoltura; che non hanno insieme alcuna regola, con ciò sia cosa che ’l pescare sia sotto l’arte de la venagione e sotto suo comandare, e lo conoscere la vertù de l’erbe sia sotto la medicina o vero sotto più nobile dottrina.
      as for example fishing seems to be associated with navigation and the knowledge of the virtues of herbs with agriculture. Yet they have no ground in common since fishing falls under the art of hunting and is subject to its authority and the knowledge of the virtues of herbs under medicine or under some higher branch of learning.
