Thank you for your help.
Here's at least part of the inscription in the original Latin.

Good grief. Don't they have anyone to check those things? I am trying to write some copy that includes quotes for a back cover of a journal kit, and I have to desperately search through stuff he didn't say - and although I consider myself well-versed in his writing, I can't quote things verbatim. So I have almost fallen prey several times to error in this regard. Thankfully, you are on patrol. I enjoy your site very much, thanks.
