    • 1477 [413426], “Capitolo .xxiii.” (chapter 23), Libro xx., in Antonio Miscomini, transl., De la cità di Dio [On the city of God]‎[1] (theology; manuscript), translation of Dē cīvitāte Deī by Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis (in Late Latin), page 537:
      Or che ſequeſto decenario numero ſono ſignificati tutti gli uniuerſi Re: dopo liquali colui dee uenire come per lo millenario centenario et ſeptenario e ſignificata ſpeſſe uolte launiuerſita et ꝑ altri numeri chi none neceſſario diricordarlo ora.
      [Or che se questo decenario numero sono significati tutti gli universi re — dopo li quali colui dee venire — come per lo millenario, centenario e settenario è significata spesse volte la università, e per altri numeri chi non è necessario di ricordarlo ora[?]]
      [original: Quid sī enim numerō istō dēnāriō ūniversitās rēgum significāta est, post quōs ille ventūrus est; sīcut mīllēnāriō, centēnāriō, septēnāriō significātur plērumque ūniversitās, et aliīs atque aliīs numerīs, quōs nunc commemorāre nōn est necesse?]
      So, what if this 10 were to represent all of the kings—after whom he [the Antichrist] is to come—just as 1000, 100, and 7 (as well as other numbers that don't need to be remembered now) often represent totality?
      (literally, “So what if [through] this tenfold number are signified all the whole kings, after whom he must come, like through the thousandfold [number], hundredfold [number], and sevenfold [number] is signified oftentimes the totality and through other numbers that is not necessary to remember now.”)
  2. (historical) guild (association of tradespeople)
