14. Like dreams, moreover, are also some visions of persons awake, who have had their senses troubled, such as phrenetic persons, or those who are mad in any way: for they too talk to themselves just as though they were speaking to people verily present, and as well with absent as with present, whose images they perceive, whether persons living or dead. But just as they which live, are unconscious that they are seen of them and talk with them; for indeed they are not really themselves present, or themselves make speeches, but through troubled senses, these persons are wrought upon by such-like imaginary visions; just so they also who have departed this life, to persons thus affected appear as present, while they be absent, and whether any man sees them in regard of their image,36    Imaginaliter are themselves utterly unconscious.

CAPUT XII.

14. Visa phreneticorum. Visum Curmae curialis. Similia sunt autem somniis nonnulla etiam visa vigilantium, qui turbatos habent sensus, sicut phrenetici, vel quocumque furentes modo: nam et ipsi loquuntur secum quasi vere praesentibus loquantur, et tam cum absentibus quam cum praesentibus, quorum imagines cernunt, sive vivorum , sive mortuorum. Sed quemadmodum ii qui vivunt, ab eis se videri, et cum eis se colloqui nesciunt; neque enim revera ipsi adsunt, aut ipsi sermocinantur, sed turbatis sensibus homines talia visa imaginaria patiuntur: eo modo et ii qui ex hac vita migrarunt, sic affectis hominibus videntur quasi praesentes, cum sint absentes, et utrum aliquis eos imaginaliter videat, omnino nescientes.
