Nuntii Latini

  • from YLE ~ September 14, 2012:

Lex de sulphure emittendo

Lex de emissionibus sulphuris in commeatu maritimo circumscribendis in parlamento Unionis Europaeae perlata est. Legati parlamentares sciverunt, ne copia sulphuris in materia combustibili adhibita decimam unius centesimae partem (0,1%) excederet.

Hoc directivum, quod inde ab anno bismillesimo quinto decimo (2015) valere incipiet, imprimis ad navigationem in Mari Baltico, in Mari Germanico, in Freto Gallico faciendam spectat.

… alia from September 14: Americani siccitate laborant … Duo diurnarii Sueti liberati … Reclamatio Cataloniensium … Memoria Iohannae ab Arcu …Scientia legendi et scribendi … Caput mundi artis designandi

… and Nuntii Graeci

In Explorator 15.22
