Italian speakers, please can you help with translating the following sentence?

Question

Apprendasi da chi l’ignorasse, che oltre la serie luminosa degli Avi (che voi pure avete) quasi Diamanti legati in oro formano preziosa congerie i requisiti anzidetti.

No online translations please!

Thank you.

Answer 1

i'm italian!but this isn't a really perfect italian...where u read it?anyway, i try to translate:opening to who ignores it,which more than the shining serie of Ancestors(which u have too) nearly Diamonds tied with gold make a precious quantity the requirements said before.

Answer 2

yes this sentence alone doesn't make much sense, it seems that he is referring to somewhat or someone said before because he says that there are some " aforesaid requirements"

those above-mentioned requirements form a precious

[etherogeneal group of things]

         (= congerie... I don't know how it can be said in english)  

like if they were diamonds tied in [with] gold.

Answer 3

This is ancient italian from about 500 years ago, where did you get it??

Some of it refers to something that was said earlier, I think.

I'll translate liberally rather than word by word and I  might not do it correctly, this has to be read by someone into old text, a bit like the Divine Comedy.

" to learn from who'd ignore, that beyond the luminesent series from the ancent people (that you have, too) almost Diamonds and Gold will form precious requirements"

I kind of fell over at the very end.

Answer 4

That's what I can get out of it:

"Whomever ignored it should know that, beyond the shiny series of Ancestors (which you too have) like Diamonds mounted in gold make a precious array the aforementioned requirements".

This phrase should be placed in context, otherwise it doesn't make much sense, either in Italian or in any other language...
