Or Atlas obscurae?

• jessaustin 10y ago
  I don't know Latin, but from the word "alumnae" I would expect that to be the plural feminine ending. Of course in the one case it's a noun and in the other it's an adjective, so I may be way off base.

  How is that supposed to parse? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_declension#First_and_second_declension_adjectives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_declension#First_and_sec... gives the declension for adjectives such as obscurus. I think the web site gets it wrong because of "camera obscura" (Latin for "dark room"). Camera (modern French: "la chambre") is feminine so takes the feminine form of the adjective.

    I think it's not the Atlas that is obscure/dark, but rather an Atlas of darkness.

      Then it should be "Atlas obscuritatis" or "Atlas tenebrarum".
