Literary Latin from the classical era is so spectacularly inflected that it can start to feel purposely obtuse (or #ambligonius, per the source material) whereas Latin from the medieval era uses a more predictable word order and grammatical niceties such as prepositions and pronouns. Medieval Latin is host to its own other set of difficulties, but usually the Latin itself tends to be more easily understandable by someone not fluent in Latin (so, like, basically everyone.)

In his further-provided commentary on Proposition 1, the most sharp-sighted Campanus writes that "if, however, it is pleasing to assemble the remaining two types of triangles over that same line, there would be, it follows, a triangle with two equilateral sides and a triangle of three unequal sides..." and then continues on explaining how to do just precisely that.
