De Coloribus / Leon Battista Alberti (B)

" […] those philosophers who thus dispute about colours and establish the kinds of colours at seven. White and black [are] the two extremes of colour. Another [is established] between them. Then between each extreme and the middle they place a pair of colours as though undecided about the boundary, because one philosopher allegedly knows more about the extreme than the other." (On Painting)
"Neque tamen eos philosophantes aspernandos putem qui de coloribus ita disputant ut species colorum esse numero septem statuant: album atque nigrum duo colorum extrema, unum quidem intermedium, tum inter quodque extremum atque ipsum medium binos, quod alter plus altero de extremo sapiat, quasi de limite ambigentes, collocant." (De Pictura)
" […] die filosofen die debatteren over kleuren en stellen dat er zeven soorten kleuren zijn: (zelfde, eigen vertaling)
Noot: De opbouw van het (door Alberti bekritiseerde) kleurenmodel van 'die filosofen' komt overeen met de indelingen van Bartholomaeus Anglicus en Roger Bacon.
