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.
- cgio 10y agoI think it's not the Atlas that is obscure/dark, but rather an Atlas of darkness.
- DonaldFisk 10y agoThen it should be "Atlas obscuritatis" or "Atlas tenebrarum".
