Verb

vērificō (present infinitive vērificāre, perfect active vērificāvī, supine vērificātum); first conjugation

  1. (Late Latin, Medieval Latin) to present something as true
    • lived ca. 400 - 461, Pope Leo I, De haeresi et historia Manichaeorum 55:
      Non mirum ergo si quae exposuit Archelaus in laudatis Actis verificari potuerint, maxime quia, ut iam vidimus, Marcellus, sive Marcellinus, qui imperiali auctoritate Mesopotamiae provinciae rebus praeerat, utpote catholicus, fidei veritatis propagationisque in desiderio erat
      It isn't surprising that they have been able to present, as true, what Archelaus elaborated upon in his much-praised Acta. All the more so since, as noted, Marcellus, also known as Marcellinus, was in power with imperial authority in the province of Mesopotamia, and as a Roman Christian, he desired the truth and propagation of our faith.
    • lived 480 - 525 CE, Boethius, Interpretatio Topicorum Aristotelis 64:
      Non enim erit proprium, quod positum est esse proprium, ut quia de geometra non verificatur indeceptibilem esse ab oratione (nam decipitur geometer cum pseudographiam facit)
      Therefore, what has been stated to be proper would not be proper, as, regarding the geometer, it would not be presented as true that he is not able to be deceived by an oration (as a geometer is deceived once he writes a false presentation)
  2. (Medieval Latin) to verify, confirm the truth, confirm whether it is true
    • lived ca. 805 - ca. 846, Agnellus, sive Andreas Ravennatensis, Liber Pontificalis 106, (in Patrologia Latina):
      Id enim de Galla Theodosii senioris uxore secunda, quae brevi post nuptias in puerperio decedens, nec sua, nec viri potuit decennalia celebrare, seu tricennalia multiplicare, verificari haud potest.
      This event of Galla, Theodosius the Elder's second wife, who allegedly passed away soon after her wedding in childbirth, and so could not do a 10-year celebration or even a 3-year one of hers or her husband's, can not at all be verified.
    • 1292, Roger Bacon, Compendium studii theologiae 58, (as cited in Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources):
      Predicatum necessarium potest verificari de subjecto aliquo ente et de aliquo non ente
      A necessary predicate can be verified (confirmed as true) whether a subject is an entity or a non-entity
  3. (Medieval Latin) to aver, prove or justify a plea (by jury or by records)
