We find similar relics of Csoma in the shape of several Greek and Latin distichs, and a French quotation. They are in his handwriting, and found on the back of a portrait of Professor Mitscherlich of Göttingen. This picture, now in the possession of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, he gave as a memento to his friend, Szabó de Borgáta, who, it is said, was instrumental in inducing Csoma to undertake a journey to the East. The characteristic quotations are as follows:— I. Felix, qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas.—Virgilius. II. Συν Μουσαις [8] τὰ τερπνὰ καὶ τὰ γλυκέα Γίνεται πάντα Βροτοῖς Εἰ σοφὸς, εἰ καλὸς, εἴ τις ἀγλαὸς Ἀνήρ. —Pind. Od. xiv. III. Σμικρὸς ἐν σμικροῖς, μεγας ἐν μεγάλοις Εστι. —Pind. Pyth. iii. IV. C’est par le plaisir et par la vertu que la nature nous invite au bonheur. V. Omne tulit punctum qui miscuit utile dulci.—Horatius. VI. Omnia deficiant, virtus tamen omnia vincit Per quodvis praeceps ardua vadit iter. —Ovidius. VII. Sit tibi, quod nunc est, etiam minus; at tibi vive, Quod superest sevi, si quid superesse volunt Di. —Horatius. Scribebam dulcis recordationis ergo, Göttingae, die 10o Aprilis, anni 1817. Alexander Körösi, [9] Transylvano—Siculus. [10] Part of his holidays Csoma was wont to spend as a private tutor. In 1806 his friend Hegedüs left Nagy Enyed to take up clerical duties elsewhere; but after an absence of eight years, on returning to his former professorial chair at the old College, he was greeted, on the part of the students, by Csoma, who then held the position of Senior Collegian. Hegedüs noticed then, with much satisfaction, that besides an acquaintance with general literature, Csoma had made marked progress in the Latin and Greek classics, and had become familiar with the best works of French and German authors. In 1815 he passed the public “rigorosum” in the presence of Professor Hegedüs, by which Csoma became qualified to continue his studies at a University abroad.
