Contemptus est rei alicujus imaginatio quæ mentem adeo parum tangit ut ipsa mens ex rei præsentia magis moveatur ad ea imaginandum quæ in ipsa re non sunt quam quæ in ipsa sunt. Vide scholium propositionis 52 hujus. Definitiones venerationis et dedignationis missas hic facio quia nulli quod sciam affectus ex his nomen trahunt.
Contempt is an imagination of some thing which touches the mind to such a small extent that the mind itself is moved more by the presence of the thing to imagining those things which are not in the thing itself than those things which are.
