2. What phrase?

• This phrase appears in Thomas Hobbes' 1658 work De Homine, cap. x : “_________________, sed parva; quia scientia egregia rara est, nec proinde apparens nisi paucissimis, et in paucis rebus. Scientiae enim ea natura est, ut esse intelligi non possit, nisi ab illis qui sunt scientia praediti.

• This was translated as "The sciences, are small power; because not eminent; and therefore, not acknowledged in any man; nor are at all, but in a few, and in them, but of a few things. For science is of that nature, as none can understand it to be, but such as in a good measure have attained it”

4. How do know vermilion in common culture?

• Vermilion is the purified and powdered form of cinnabar, which is the chief form in which mercury sulfide naturally occurs. Sometimes red lead (lead tetroxide) is also added. Red lead is also toxic.

• It is also made with turmeric and alum or lime, or from other herbal ingredients. Unlike red lead and vermilion, these are not poisonous. The turmeric is dried and powdered with a bit of slaked lime, which turns the rich yellow powder into a red color.
