Titus Flavius Clemens, patria Atheniensis, vel, ut alii, Alexandrinus: ex ethnico philosopho Christianus, atque inde post peragratas Graeciam, Calabriam, Italiam, Orientem, Palaestinam, et Aegyptum, Alexandrinae Ecclesiae presbyter, et post Pantaenum, itidem Atheniensem, magistrum suum,
Titus Flavius Clement, by birth an Athenian, or, as others say, an Alexandrian: from a heathen philosopher a Christian, and thereafter, having travelled through Greece, Calabria, Italy, the East, Palestine and Egypt, a presbyter of the Church of Alexandria, and, after Pantaenus, likewise an Athenian, his own teacher,

Atqui a veteribus quorum testimonia citavit Fabric. infra not. 19, plura vero collegit Potterus post praef. ad suam edit., semper vocatur Alexandrinae Ecclesiae presbyter. Ab Epiphanio solummodo, l. c., sed incerto rumore, sic citatur: Κλήμης, ὅν φασί τινες Ἀλεξανδρέα, ἕτεροι δὲ Ἀθηναῖον: in Chronico autem Paschali, pag. 251, dicitur quidem Clem.

Harl.

Epiphanius XXXII, 6, vol. I, p. 213; Meursius, p. 203, on the Lausiac History of Palladius; Fabricius. He could have been an Athenian by birth; but he was called an Alexandrian because he lived long at Alexandria and discharged the office of teaching there. Yet by the ancients, whose testimonies Fabricius cited below in note 19 and Potter collected in greater number after the preface to his edition, he is always called a presbyter of the Church of Alexandria. Only by Epiphanius, loc. cit., and that on uncertain report, is he cited thus: "Clement, whom some call an Alexandrian, others an Athenian"; in the Chronicon Paschale, p. 251, he is indeed called Clement of Alexandria, but on p. 7 a presbyter of the Church of Alexandria, and twice by Theodoret Clement the Stromatist. Add Cave, Antiquities of the Fathers and of the Church I, p. 385 (German version by Stolle, Nachrichten von den Kirchenvätern, p. 91 f.); Walch, Historia ecclesiastica Novi Testamenti, p. 627, who have discussed Clement of Alexandria at greater length, to pass over others already praised by them.

Eusebius V, 11; VI, 13; and Jerome, On Ecclesiastical Writers ch. 38; Photius, codex 109. Philip of Side, indeed, departs from their view and writes that Pantaenus was Clement's successor, and Clement the successor and disciple of Athenagoras. H. Dodwell, who published Philip's fragment at the end of his Dissertations on Irenaeus, p. 501 f., also argues in support of Philip of Side's view. But I prefer by all means to side with Eusebius, Jerome and Photius. On Clement's other teachers, whom he himself hints at covertly in Stromata book I, p. 274, the same Dodwell (Dissertation IV on Irenaeus, p. 293) thinks he kept their names silent because of the discipline of the mysteries, which forbids betraying the hierophants by name. See Baronius, at A.D. 185, no. 4; Valois, on Eusebius, p. 95; Cave, in the Life of Clement of Alexandria, § 2; Étienne Le Moyne, on Varia sacra, p. 208; Jean Le Clerc, in the Life of Clement of Alexandria, Bibliothèque universelle vol.

Pantaeno mortuo successisse scribit Hieronymus c. 38 De script. eccl. Sed vide Tillemont., tom. III Memor. hist. eccles., in Vita Pantaeni', p. 290, et in Vita Clementis Alex., p. 308 et 522. Fabr. In disciplina Pantaeni amorem philosophiae Stoicae imbibisse videtur Clemens Alex., neque tamen illi, neque alii sectae unice adhaesit, sed fuit eclecticus, et Stoicos aeque ac reliquos veteres philosophos refutavi. Imo vero Strom. I, c. 7, p. 338, ed. Potteri, cujus notam conferes, aperte profitetur se philosophiam non dicere Stoicam, nec Platonicam, aut Epicuream et Aristotelicam; sed quaecunque ab his sectis recte dicta sint, hoc totum selectum (τοῦτο σύμπαν τὸ ἐκλεκτικόν) se dicere philosophiam. De Pantaeno et reliquis Clementis magistris, ac de controversia inter Caveum, Clericum Baltumque orta, tum de philosophandi ratione, erroribus, etc., Clementis Alex. copiosus est Brucker, in Hist. cit., philos., tom. III, pag. 414 sqq. — De Clemente, qua doctore Alexandrino conf. J. G. Michaelis Progr. de scholae catech. Alexandr. origine Halae Magd. 1739, 4, novisque accessionibus amplificatum in Symbol. litter.

Jerome, On Ecclesiastical Writers ch. 38, writes that he succeeded Pantaenus on Pantaenus's death. But see Tillemont, Mémoires pour servir à l'histoire ecclésiastique vol. III, in the Life of Pantaenus, p. 290, and in the Life of Clement of Alexandria, pp. 308 and 522. Fabricius. Clement of Alexandria seems to have drunk in a love of Stoic philosophy in Pantaenus's school, yet he adhered exclusively neither to it nor to any other sect, but was an eclectic, and refuted the Stoics just as much as the other ancient philosophers. Indeed, in Stromata I, ch. 7, p. 338 of Potter's edition (compare Potter's note there), he openly declares that by philosophy he means neither the Stoic nor the Platonic, nor the Epicurean and Aristotelian, but that whatever has been rightly said by these sects, this whole selection ("this whole eclectic [body]"), is what he calls philosophy. On Pantaenus and Clement's other teachers, and on the controversy that arose between Cave, Le Clerc and Baltus, and on the method of philosophizing, the errors, etc., of Clement of Alexandria, Brucker writes at length in his Critical History of Philosophy vol. III, p. 414 ff. On Clement as a teacher at Alexandria compare J. G. Michaelis, Programme on the origin of the catechetical school of Alexandria (Halle in Magdeburg 1739, quarto), enlarged with new additions in Symbolae litterariae Bremenses fasc. III; and J. Augustin Dietelmair's Programme briefly setting out the series of the ancient teachers in the school of Alexandria (Altdorf 1746, quarto). Harles.

Quanquam Baronius e Martyrologio Rom. Clementis nomen expunxit (confer Acta Sanctor., tom. VI Maii, p. 777), et sancti elogium Clementi datum excusat Combefisius, tom. I Bibl. concionatoriae, Natalisque Alexander ideo censuram incurrisse se testetur virorum religiosorum, quod sanctum Clementem appellasset; tamen constat apud veteres scriptores, ne de Usuardi et juniorum Martyrologiis dicam, passim hoc encomio mactari. Ita Epiphanius XXVI, 1: Ὡς καὶ ὁ ἅγιος Κλήμης, etc.; ἱερὸν vocat etiam Alexander episcopus, apud Euseb., VI, 14 et VI, 11, μακάριον πρεσβύτερον ἄνδρα ἐνάρετον καὶ δόκιμον. Nicetae, Thesaur. orthodox. fidei, IV, 10, ex Theodoriti lib. I De haeretic. fab., c. 4, Clemens dicitur ἱερὸς ἀνὴρ, καὶ πολυπειρίᾳ ἅπαντας ἀπολιπών. Et eidem Theodorito ἱερὸς ἀνὴρ, et ob πολυμάθειαν διαβόητος. Auctori Chronici Alex. pag. 7, et qui idem est, anonymo scriptori de Paschate, quem Graece edidit Petavius pag. 214 Uranolog.: Κλήμης ὁ ὁσιώτατος τῆς Ἀλεξανδρέων Ἐκκλησίας γεγονὼς ἱερεὺς, ἀνὴρ ἀρχαιότατος, καὶ οὐ μακρὰν τῶν Ἀποστολικῶν γενόμενος χρόνων. Idem Clemens judicio Hieronymi, epist. 84, ad Magnum, omnium eruditissimus. Φιλόσοφον τῶν φιλοσόφων vocat S. Maximus, Diss. cum Pyrrho, pag. 774. Cyrillus vero Alex.: Ἄνδρα ἐλλόγιμον καὶ φιλομαθῆ, καὶ ἀναγνωσμάτων Ἑλληνικῶν πολυπραγμονήσαντα βάθος, ὡς ὀλίγοι τάχα που τῶν πρὸ αὐτοῦ, VII in Julian., pag. 231. Idem alibi σοφώτατον vocat, et πολυΐστορα, et alio loco: Τοῖς ἁγίοις Ἀποστόλοις ἑπόμενον πανταχῆ, πλείστης τε ὅσης Ἑλληνικῆς ἱστορίας εἰς ἀκοὴν ἐλθόντα. [Add. Walch., l. c., pag. 629 seq.]

Although Baronius struck Clement's name out of the Roman Martyrology (compare Acta Sanctorum, May vol. VI, p. 777), and Combefis excuses the title of saint given to Clement (Bibliotheca concionatoria vol. I), and Natalis Alexander testifies that he incurred the censure of religious men for having called Clement a saint, yet it is certain that among the ancient writers, not to speak of the martyrologies of Usuard and later ones, he is everywhere honoured with this praise. So Epiphanius XXVI, 1: "as also the holy Clement," etc.; Bishop Alexander too, in Eusebius VI, 14, calls him holy, and in VI, 11 "the blessed presbyter, a virtuous and approved man." In Nicetas, Treasury of the Orthodox Faith IV, 10, from Theodoret's Compendium of Heretical Fables book I, ch. 4, Clement is called "a holy man, who surpassed all in wide experience." And to the same Theodoret he is "a holy man" and "famed for his great learning." To the author of the Alexandrian Chronicle, p. 7, who is the same as the anonymous writer on the Pasch whom Petavius published in Greek, Uranologion p. 214: "Clement the most holy, who was priest of the Church of the Alexandrians, a man of great antiquity, living not far from apostolic times." The same Clement, in Jerome's judgement (Letter 84, to Magnus), was the most learned of all. St Maximus, Disputation with Pyrrhus, p. 774, calls him "the philosopher of philosophers." And Cyril of Alexandria: "a man of eloquence and love of learning, who explored the depth of Greek literature as perhaps few before him," Against Julian VII, p. 231. Elsewhere he calls him "most wise" and "of wide learning," and in another place: "following the holy apostles in everything, and having come to hear a very great deal of Greek history." [Add Walch, loc. cit., p. 629 f.]

Alexandria cedere coacto, successit, et Alexandrum Flaviadis in Cappadocia ac postea Hierosolymitanum episcopum, atque, si Baronio, Combefisio et Bullo credimus, etiam Hippolytum, Origeni haud ignotum. Quo anno obierit (sub Antonino Caracalla et Alexandriae, ut suspicio est), nemo veterum tradidit, licet quarta die Decembris memoriam ejus consignarit Usuardi Martyrologium.
forced to withdraw from Alexandria, succeeded, and Alexander, bishop of Flavias in Cappadocia and afterwards of Jerusalem, and, if we believe Baronius, Combefis and Bull, also Hippolytus, not unknown to Origen. In what year he died (under Antoninus Caracalla and at Alexandria, as is suspected), none of the ancients has handed down, although the Martyrology of Usuard has recorded his memory on the fourth day of December.
Tria hujus Clementis scripta, Protrepticum, Paedagogum et Stromateon libros, Daniel Heinsius pulchre observavit referre veterum mystagogorum ac philosophorum tres gradus, ἀποκάθαρσιν, μύησιν ac denique ἐποπτείαν : in Protreptico enim Clementem primo veluti purgare futuros Christianos a sordibus adhaerentium superstitionum atque ethnicismi, in Paedagogo factos jam initiare atque instituere, in Stromateon denique libris ad sacra maxima et supremam Dei contemplationem (adde Clementem, pag. 83 edit. Paris. et 443 d.) admittere. Confer, si placet, quae in eamdem sententiam de Paedagogo ac Stromatibus Clementis observat D. Mich. Foertschius, theologus Ienensis, in decade Diss. theologicarum selectarum, diss. X, pag. 398, sqq.
Three writings of this Clement, the Protrepticus, the Paedagogus and the books of the Stromata, Daniel Heinsius has finely observed to represent the three degrees of the ancient mystagogues and philosophers, purification, initiation and finally epoptic vision: for in the Protrepticus Clement first, as it were, purges future Christians from the defilements of clinging superstitions and paganism, in the Paedagogus initiates and instructs them now that they have been made such, and finally in the books of the Stromata admits them to the greatest mysteries and the supreme contemplation of God (add Clement, p. 83 of the Paris edition and 443 d.). Compare, if you please, what to the same effect concerning the Paedagogus and the Stromata of Clement is observed by Dr. Mich. Foertschius, theologian of Jena, in his decade of Select Theological Dissertations, diss. 10, p. 398, ff.
1. Προτρεπτικὸς λόγος, ad gentes liber adhortatorius de Christianismo amplectendo, cujus meminit (ne de Eusebio, Hieronymo, Cyrillo, Theodoreto, Photio, aliisque dicam), Clemens ipse in limine Paedagogi, et disertius etiam VII Strom., pag. 711, ubi ait se in illo de gentium superstitionibus abunde disputasse. Ex hoc Clementis Protreptico plura in suos ad gentes libros transtulit Arnobius, ut Theodoro Cantero pulchre observatum. Duos codices mss. Graecos, unum regium A. C. 914 exaratum, et alterum Collegii S. J. Paris. memorat Nourrius, pag. 634 Apparatus ad bibl. Patrum, variasque lectiones editurum se vel cum alio Clementis futuro editore communicaturum pollicetur, atque ipse deinceps loca quaedam feliciter illustrat.
1. Exhortatory Discourse, a book of exhortation to the nations on embracing Christianity, of which Clement himself makes mention (not to speak of Eusebius, Jerome, Cyril, Theodoret, Photius, and others) at the threshold of the Paedagogus, and even more expressly in Stromata VII, p. 711, where he says that in it he has disputed abundantly concerning the superstitions of the nations. From this Protrepticus of Clement, Arnobius transferred many things into his own books against the nations, as was finely observed by Theodorus Canterus. Two Greek manuscript codices, one royal, written in A.D. 914, and the other of the Paris College of the Society of Jesus, are mentioned by Le Nourry, p. 634 of his Apparatus to the Library of the Fathers, and he promises that he will publish the variant readings or communicate them to some other future editor of Clement, and he himself thereafter felicitously illustrates certain passages.

Hujus quoque operis sui mentionem facit ipse Clemens VI Strom., pag. 616, ut Eusebium, Hieronymum ac Photium omittam. Videturque illud fuisse fructus quidam κατηχήσεων Alexandriae ab ipso institutarum. Caeterum, ut divisionem operis in tres libros Clemens dicto loco agnoscit, sic divisionem in capita capitibusque praefixa lemmata, quamvis in mss. codicibus obvia, alium quam Clementem videntur habere auctorem. Vide Nourrii Apparatum, pag. 657. Clauditur Paedagogus Doxologia, de qua conferendus Georgius Bullus in Defensione fidei Nicaenae, pag. 145. Denique subjicitur Hymnus ad Christum, quem Antigeni martyri, Clementis aequali (nescio qua fide) tribuit Cangius in Appendice ad Glossarium Graecum, pag. 123, voce Λυχνικόν. Hymnum istum separatis foliis cum Herveti versione et commentario suo atque Germanica metaphrasi edidit Hamburgi A. 1681 fol. Rudolphus Capellus. Exstat et Graece et Latine inter Poetas Graecos Christianos, Paris. 1609, 8, pag. 235, cum Fed. Morelli versione. Ibidem Graece et Latine occurrunt versus ἀδήλου, sive incerti, in Clementis Paedagogum, qui incipiunt Σοὶ τόνδε κἀγὼ, Παιδαγωγὲ, προσφέρω, qui in editione Clementis Graeca Florentina Graece leguntur ad calcem Paedagogi pag. 92, sed in Graeco-Latinis sunt praetermissi, atque ideo in supplemento Operum Clementis Ittigiano, p. 170, iterum recusi. Tres codices mss. Paedagogi Clementis evolvisse et varias lectiones ex iis notasse se refert Nourrius, p. 658 seq., ex quibus regii A. C. 814 exarati (quo praeter Protrepticum Paedagogo praemissum etiam Justini Epistola ad Zenam et Serenum, atque Admonitio ad Graecos, Eusebii De praeparat. et adversus Hieroclem atque Athenagorae liber uterque continetur) specimen vide in Montfauconi Palaeographia Graeca, p. 274. Paedagogum in Bibl. Patrum concionatoria Graece et Latine editum scribit Nourrius, p. 904. Sed Latine quaedam Clementis Combefisius a se recensita Bibliothecae concionatoriae inseruit; Graece nihil.
Of this work of his own also Clement himself makes mention in Stromata VI, p. 616, to omit Eusebius, Jerome and Photius. And it seems to have been a certain fruit of the catechetical instructions instituted by him at Alexandria. For the rest, just as Clement in the said passage acknowledges the division of the work into three books, so the division into chapters and the headings prefixed to the chapters, although met with in the manuscript codices, seem to have another author than Clement. See Le Nourry's Apparatus, p. 657. The Paedagogus closes with a Doxology, concerning which George Bull is to be compared in his Defence of the Nicene Faith, p. 145. Finally there is subjoined a Hymn to Christ, which Du Cange in his Appendix to the Greek Glossary, p. 123, under the word Λυχνικόν, attributes (on what authority I know not) to the martyr Antigenes, a contemporary of Clement. That hymn was published on separate leaves with the version and commentary of Hervetus and his own and a German metaphrase at Hamburg, A.D. 1681, fol., by Rudolphus Capellus. It is extant both in Greek and in Latin among the Christian Greek Poets, Paris, 1609, 8vo, p. 235, with the version of Fed. Morellus. In the same place in Greek and Latin occur verses of an unknown, or uncertain author, on Clement's Paedagogus, which begin To Thee I too, O Instructor, offer this, which in the Florentine Greek edition of Clement are read in Greek at the end of the Paedagogus, p. 92, but in the Graeco-Latin editions are omitted, and therefore in Ittig's supplement to the Works of Clement, p. 170, were reprinted. Three manuscript codices of Clement's Paedagogus Le Nourry relates that he unrolled and noted variant readings from them, p. 658 ff., of which see a specimen of the royal one written in A.D. 814 (in which, besides the Protrepticus prefixed to the Paedagogus, are also contained Justin's Epistle to Zenas and Serenus, and the Admonition to the Greeks, Eusebius On the Preparation and Against Hierocles, and both books of Athenagoras) in Montfaucon's Palaeographia Graeca, p. 274. That the Paedagogus was published in Greek and Latin in the Bibliotheca Patrum concionatoria is written by Le Nourry, p. 904. But Combefis inserted certain things of Clement revised by himself in Latin into the Bibliotheca concionatoria; in Greek, nothing.

Fell also noted that they exist under the title "of an unknown author" in a codex of miscellaneous collections from the Greek poets kept in the Bodleian library. Besides this, the Royal, Bodleian and Venetian codices place that hymn after the preceding one, on Villoison's testimony, loc. cit., who observes that the opening of the hymn to the Paedagogus is plainly modelled on the hymn that Hippolytus the garland-bearer sings in Euripides, bursting into praise of Diana on returning from the hunt.

CXI, et Clementem ipsum in extremo libri I et III, pag. 357, 473, et initio libri VI, pag. 616. Alexandro inscriptum esse hoc opus a Clemente, observat Meursius, ad Palladii Lausiacam, pag. 204, ex J. Damasceni lib. III De adorand. imaginibus : Τοῦ ἀρχαιοτάτου Κλήμεντος πρὸς Ἀλέξανδρον ἐκ τοῦ ἑβδόμου βιβλίου τῶν Στρωματέων. Alexandrum intelligat aliquis illum ex Clementis auditore Cappadociae atque deinde Hierosolymitanum episcopum, cui librum De canonibus eccles. inscripsit, teste Eusebio, VI, 13, et de quo videnda Acta Sanctorum ad diem XVIII Martii. Sed Reinesius, lib. I Var. lect., c. 22, pag. 92, suspicatur Damascenum non scripsisse πρὸς Ἀλέξ., sed πρεσβ. Ἀλεξ. Scriptum est hoc opus post Commodum (extremo A. C. 192) defunctum (lib. I Strom., pag. 336), cum Clemens aetatis indeflexa adhuc maturitate gauderet; quare I, pag. 274, ait, se ὑπομνήματα ἑαυτῷ εἰς γῆρας θησαυρίζειν. Codices illius mss. praeter Mediceum, e quo Florentina editio initio libri primi mutila profluxit, vix usquam exstare, notat Montfauconus in Diario Italico, p. 64 [et in Bibl. biblioth. mss. t. I, pag. 480], ubi excerpta prolixa ex Clementis Stromatis in codice bombycino saeculi XIV, Venetiis apud Antonium Capellum, patricium Venetum, reperisse se refert, una cum nonnullis ex Protreptico et Paedagogo. Claromontanus recens codex, cujus Nourrius, pag. 896, meminit, e Mediceo descriptus videtur, neque alio, ac Florentino, usi sunt interpres uterque Strozza et Hervetus.

3. Eight Stromateis of Gnostic Commentaries according to the True Philosophy (eight books of Stromata), or Miscellanies, comprising Gnostic commentaries according to the true philosophy: for this is the title of the work in Eusebius, History VI, 13; Photius, cod. 111, and Clement himself at the end of book 1 and 3, p. 357, 473, and the beginning of book 6, p. 616. That this work was inscribed to Alexander by Clement is observed by Meursius, on the Lausiac History of Palladius, p. 204, from J. Damascene, book 3 On the Adoration of Images: Of the most ancient Clement to Alexander from the seventh book of the Stromata. One might understand that Alexander who from a hearer of Clement became bishop of Cappadocia and afterwards of Jerusalem, to whom he inscribed his book On Ecclesiastical Canons, as Eusebius witnesses, VI, 13, and concerning whom the Acta Sanctorum at the 18th day of March are to be seen. But Reinesius, Var. lect. book 1, ch. 22, p. 92, suspects that Damascene did not write to Alex., but presb. of Alex. This work was written after the death of Commodus (at the end of A.D. 192) (Stromata book 1, p. 336), when Clement still enjoyed the unbent maturity of age; wherefore in I, p. 274, he says that he is treasuring up commentaries for himself for old age. That manuscript codices of it, besides the Medicean, from which the Florentine edition mutilated at the beginning of the first book flowed, scarcely exist anywhere, is noted by Montfaucon in his Diarium Italicum, p. 64 [and in Bibl. biblioth. mss. vol. I, p. 480], where he relates that he found lengthy excerpts from Clement's Stromata in a silk-paper codex of the 14th century, at Venice in the house of Antonius Capellus, a Venetian patrician, together with some pieces from the Protrepticus and the Paedagogus. The recent Clermont codex, of which Le Nourry, p. 896, makes mention, seems to have been copied from the Medicean, nor did either translator, Strozza and Hervetus, use any other than the Florentine. Clement closes the seventh book with these words: And now after this seventh Stromateus of ours we shall make our discourse on what follows from another beginning. But

Et pag. 279: Σιωπῶ γὰρ ὅτι οἱ Στρωματεῖς τῇ πολυμαθίᾳ σωματοποιούμενοι κρύπτειν ἐντέχνως τὰ τῆς γνώσεως βούλονται σπέρματα. Lib.

Ab illo opere Clemens Theodoreto, Cassiodoro, et aliis dicitur ὁ Στρωματεύς: etsi Clementis exemplo etiam discipulum ipsius Origenem X libros Stromatum scripsisse constat ex Hieronymo, Rufino, etc. Atque Caesellium Vindicem, grammaticum Latinum, in Stromateo laudat Priscianus, lib.

Clement, Stromata I, p. 278: "The Stromata will contain the truth (understand: the Christian truth) mixed with the doctrines of philosophy." And p. 279: "I pass over the fact that the Stromata, given body by wide learning, wish to hide the seeds of knowledge artfully." Book VII, p. 767: "The Stromata aim neither at order nor at diction" — the Stromata care for neither order nor diction. See also book IV, p. 476, where he compares his work to a flower-decked offering or eiresione, made of every kind of flower and fruit, which used once to be dedicated at Athens to the sun and other gods; on which see Thomas Gataker, Adversaria, p. 473. Since the Stromata take their name, as it were, from the many colours of variously woven coverlets (see Casaubon on Athenaeus, p. 15), Michael Neander renders it Varietates, Jean Vindet Centones, Samuel Petit, on the Attic Laws, p. 145, Florida, and La Mothe Le Vayer, Works vol. I, p. 552, Tapisseries. From this work Clement is called "the Stromatist" by Theodoret, Cassiodorus and others; although it is known from Jerome, Rufinus, etc., that after Clement's example his own disciple Origen also wrote ten books of Stromata. And Priscian, book VI, pp. 685 and 695, cites Caesellius Vindex, the Latin grammarian, in his Stromateus. Plutarch's Stromata are mentioned by Eusebius, Preparation I, ch. 4, 5, and by Lamprias in the catalogue of his writings. And Gellius seems to have Plutarch and Caesellius in view when he mentions Stromata in the preface to the Attic Nights.

Photius, after stating the full title of the work as found in an old copy — "Of Titus Flavius Clement, presbyter of Alexandria, the Stromata of gnostic memoirs according to the true philosophy, books 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8" — goes on to say that the first seven books bear the same title and are exactly the same in all the codices, but that the eighth varies both in title and in subject, and in some is entitled "Who is the rich man that is saved?" — but in others "Eighth Stromateus", as the other seven books are usually entitled. Add Heinsius's notes on the beginning of book I of the Stromata and on the beginning of the eighth book, and Stolle in the place mentioned.

loco illius, qui hodie sequitur, octavi libri, in quibusdam codicibus Photio, cod. CXI, lectis, secutus est liber, de quo mox dicam, Quis dives salvetur : alii tamen, quos idem vidit Photius, hunc ipsum octavum librum habuerunt, atque in hoc pag. 785 exstant verba, quae Clementem philosophum laudans profert Pseudo-Dionysius, c. 5 libri De divinis nominibus, ut Albertinus etiam, pag. 266 operis De Eucharistia observavit. Octo Stromatum Clementis libros legerunt etiam Eusebius atque Hieronymus. Porro liber iste octavus, qui exstat, cum prioribus septem nihil habet commune; sed totus de demonstratione, definitione, divisione et causis dialectico more disputat. Eumdem tamen nos habere, quam olim legit Photius, non dubito, licet aliud sentire videam Nourrium, pag. 1289, qui in eo etiam fallitur, quod, quae de doctrina parum sana Photius notat, de octavo hoc libro accepit, cum de toto Stromatum opere istud ille scripserit. Non integrum vero, sed imperfectum ad nos librum huncce, qui octavus inscribitur, pervenisse, libentius assentior Tillemontio, tom. III Memor. histor. eccles., p. 318, 524. Quod vero Nourrius, p. 1308, ex Catena ms. in Genesin notat, ab Acacio Caesareae in Palaestina episcopo citari verba ex octavo Clementis Stromatum libro deperdito, id ampliore consideratione dignum est. Verba haec sunt : Καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀγδόῳ δὲ Στρωματεῖ ἀθετεῖ τὴν περὶ τοῦ προεῖναι τὰς ψυχὰς δόξαν (Cassiani puta, quam III Strom., p. 466, confutaturum se promiserat,) λέγων αὐταῖς ταῖς λέξεσιν· Ὁ Θεὸς ἡμᾶς ἐποίησεν οὐ προόντας. Ἐχρῆν γὰρ καὶ εἰδέναι ἡμᾶς τὸ ποῦ ἦμεν καὶ προῆμεν, καὶ πῶς καὶ διὰ τί δεῦρο ἥκομεν. Εἰ δὲ οὐ προῆμεν, τῆς γενέσεως ἡμῶν μόνος αἴτιος ὁ Θεὸς, ὃς οὐκ ὄντας ἐποίησεν, οὕτως κὰι γενομένους σώζει. Ὁ δὲ τοὺς δερματίνας χιτῶνας τὰ αἰσθητὰ λέγων σώματα, πάντως που καὶ τὸ ξύλον τῆς ζωῆς αἰσθητὸν εἶναι ὁμολογήσει· μετὰ τοὺς χιτῶνας γὰρ εἴρηται, Μήποτε
in place of that eighth book which follows today, in certain codices read by Photius, cod. 111, there followed the book of which I shall presently speak, Who is the rich man that shall be saved: yet others, which the same Photius saw, had this very eighth book, and in this on p. 785 are extant the words which Pseudo-Dionysius, praising Clement the philosopher, adduces in ch. 5 of his book On the Divine Names, as Albertinus also, p. 266 of his work On the Eucharist, observed. Eight books of Clement's Stromata were read also by Eusebius and Jerome. Moreover, that eighth book which is extant has nothing in common with the preceding seven; but disputes wholly concerning demonstration, definition, division and causes in the dialectical manner. Yet that we have the same one which Photius formerly read, I do not doubt, although I see Le Nourry, p. 1289, thinks otherwise, who is also mistaken in this, that he took what Photius notes concerning his less than sound doctrine as referring to this eighth book, whereas he wrote that concerning the whole work of the Stromata. That this book, however, which is entitled the eighth, has come down to us not entire, but imperfect, I more gladly agree with Tillemont, Memor. histor. eccles. vol. III, p. 318, 524. But what Le Nourry, p. 1308, notes from a manuscript Catena on Genesis, that words are cited by Acacius, bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, from a lost eighth book of Clement's Stromata, is worthy of fuller consideration. The words are these: And in the eighth Stromateus he rejects the opinion concerning the pre-existence of souls (to wit, that of Cassianus, which in Stromata III, p. 466, he had promised he would refute,) saying in these very words: God made us when we did not pre-exist. For [had we done so,] we ought also to have known where we were and pre-existed, and how and wherefore we have come hither. But if we did not pre-exist, God alone is the cause of our generation, Who made us when we were not, and thus also saves us now that we have come into being. And he who calls perceptible bodies coats of skins will by all means confess that the tree of life also is perceptible; for after the coats it is said, Lest perchance

λοίβη τοῦ ξύλου τῆς ζωῆς, καὶ φάγῃ, καὶ ζήσηται εἰς αἰῶνα. Haec (quae Nourrium praeteriit) excerpta sunt ex Ἐκλογαῖς προφητικῶν, § 17, edit. Combefisii [et Potteri]. At idem Nourrius recte observat, in mss. J. Damasceni Parallelorum codicibus laudari tanquam ex octavo Stromatum libro, quae iisdem verbis exstant in Ἐκλογαῖς προφητικῶν, quae Graece libro Stromatum subjiciuntur, § 20, edit. Graeco-Lat. Combefisii : Ἀγάπη ἑκουσίων ἄρχει, ἀκόντων δὲ ὁ φόβος οὗτος ὁ φαῦλος. Ὁ δὲ εἰς ἀγαθὸν παιδαγωγῶν, εἰς Χριστὸν ἄγει, καὶ ἔστι σωτήριος. Laudantur a Damasceno etiam haec, octavo Stromatum libro praenotato : Φοβηθῶμεν οὐχὶ νόσον τὴν ἔξωθεν, ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτήματα, δι' ἃ νόσος· καὶ νόσον ψυχῆς, οὐχὶ σώματος (quae exstant in eisdem Eclogis, § 11). Et : Νόμος ἐστὶ κατὰ τῶν σεμνὰ καὶ θεῖα σεμνῶς καὶ θεοπρεπῶς ὁρᾶν οὐκ ἀξιούντων, κόλασιν ἐπιφέρειν ἀορασίας.
he take of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever. These things (which escaped Le Nourry) are excerpted from the Prophetic Eclogues, § 17, in the edition of Combefis [and of Potter]. Yet the same Le Nourry rightly observes that in the manuscript codices of J. Damascene's Parallela there are cited as if from the eighth book of the Stromata things which are extant in the same words in the Prophetic Eclogues, which are subjoined in Greek to the book of the Stromata, § 20, in the Graeco-Latin edition of Combefis: Love rules the willing, but this base fear rules the unwilling. Yet that which instructs unto good leads unto Christ, and is saving. There are cited by Damascene also these words, with the eighth book of the Stromata prefixed: Let us fear not the disease that is from without, but sins, through which comes disease; and the disease of the soul, not of the body (which are extant in the same Eclogues, § 11). And: There is a law against those who do not deign to behold reverend and divine things reverently and in a manner worthy of God, to inflict the punishment of blindness.

Haec excerpta, Graece sine versione ex Florentino exemplari Graeco-Latinis Clementis editionibus subjecta, varias locorum S. Scripturae explicationes Gnosticas et Valentinianas continent. In his Theodotus plus simplici vice citatur; mentio et Basilidis et Valentini ac Valentinianorum, et pag. 799, afferuntur verba, quae Christus dixerit ad Salomen, μέχρι τότε εἶναι θάνατον, ἄχρις ἂν αἱ γυναῖκες τίκτωσιν, quae ex Evangelio secundum Aegyptios petita esse constat ex Clementis III Strom., pag. 445, 452, 453.

4. Epitomes from the Writings of Theodotus and the So-Called Eastern Teaching in the Times of Valentinus. These excerpts, subjoined in Greek without a version from the Florentine exemplar to the Graeco-Latin editions of Clement, contain various Gnostic and Valentinian explanations of passages of Holy Scripture. In them Theodotus is cited more than once; there is mention both of Basilides and of Valentinus and the Valentinians, and on p. 799 are adduced the words which Christ is said to have spoken to Salome, that death shall last so long as women bring forth, which it is established were drawn from the Gospel according to the Egyptians from Clement's Stromata III, p. 445, 452, 453. Combefis translated them into Latin, but feared to publish them on account of the Gnostic heresies and errors which in them are contained.

Chr. 185, potius esse Theodotum crediderit, quod ex eo conjicit, quia epitome Hypotyposeon Clementis inscribatur: Ἐκ τῶν Θεοδότου ἀνατολικῆς διδασκαλίας, Clementem vero ea, quae a magistris in Oriente didicisset, vocare ἀνατολικὴν διδασκαλίαν.

Understand Theodotus the tanner of Byzantium, excommunicated by Victor, bishop of Rome, whose heresy St Hippolytus also touches on in his homily against the errors of Noetus. The other passages of the ancients about him Ittig carefully excerpted in his dissertation On the Heresiarchs, p. 259 ff.; on p. 243 he mentions a second Theodotus, a Montanist, and on p. 261 a third Theodotus, the money-changer, founder of the Melchizedekians. See also on Theodotus the tanner the learned dissertation of Dr Michael Walther, published at Wittenberg in 1688 under the title Jesus before Mary, § 10 f. Fabricius. Valois on Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History book V, ch. 11 (a passage Potter repeated on Clement, Stromata I, p. 322, where Clement speaks of his teachers), suspects that of the two whom Clement says he heard in the parts of the East, the one, an Assyrian by race, is Tatian; the other, a Hebrew born in Palestine, whom Baronius (at A.D. 185) thought was Theophilus, bishop of Caesarea, he would rather believe to be Theodotus. He conjectures this from the fact that the epitome of Clement's Hypotyposes is entitled "From the Eastern teaching of Theodotus", and that Clement calls what he had learned from his teachers in the East "Eastern teaching". Whether this conjecture should be admitted or not, let others judge. — On the Theodotus mentioned by Ignatius in the interpolated letter to the Trallians, ch. 11, see Cotelier's annotations there.

But since in Potter's edition, p. 966 ff., Robert Pearse's Latin version is joined to the Greek text, with notes of Sylburg, of Combefis and a few of Potter's added, and since the publisher presses and demands that I shorten sail, I have followed the advice of others and decided to omit all of it in this new edition. If more people wish at least Combefis's Latin version to be reprinted, it will perhaps find a place in the supplements. Harles.

Georgio Wachtero, ecclesiaste Memmingensi. Fabr. Inscriptio haud urbana haec est: Augenscheinliche Erweisung, dass der vermessene Ketzer-Patron, Gottfried Arnold, das valentinianische Ketzer-Fragmentum Theodoti weder verständlich, noch treulich übersezet, und damit seine schlechte Wissenschaft in der griechischen Sraache selbst verrathen hàbe. Id.

To Georg Wachter, preacher at Memmingen. Fabricius. The title, hardly courteous, is this: "Manifest proof that the presumptuous patron of heretics, Gottfried Arnold, has translated the Valentinian heretical fragment of Theodotus neither intelligibly nor faithfully, and has thereby himself betrayed his poor knowledge of the Greek language." The same.

Quoniam vero eisdem vix quisquam hodie poterit moveri, nec tamen inutile ad alios scriptores ecclesiasticos illustrandos, neque injucundum est specimine tam insigni cognoscere, qualis fuerit et quam longe petitis S. Scripturae expositionibus subnixa haereticorum istorum doctrina, non dubitavi illam Combefisii versionem, cujus apographum beneficio doctissimi viri, Erici Benzelii, in manus meas incidit, infra cum lectore communicare. Germanice quidem reddita haec excerpta edidit Godfridus Arnoldus, in Apologia haeresium, Lipsiae 1700, fol., tom. IV, pag. 41 sq., a quo tempore melior et emendatior, itidem Germanica, interpretatio, auctore H. G. W. E. M. lucem vidit Ulmae 1701, 4, cum praefat. D. Eliae Veielii.
Since, however, scarcely anyone today could be moved by them, and yet it is neither useless for illustrating other ecclesiastical writers, nor unpleasant to learn from so notable a specimen of what sort the doctrine of those heretics was and by what far-fetched expositions of Holy Scripture it was supported, I have not hesitated to communicate below with the reader that version of Combefis, a transcript of which through the kindness of that most learned man, Ericus Benzelius, fell into my hands. Rendered into German, indeed, Godfridus Arnoldus published these excerpts in his Apologia haeresium, Leipzig 1700, fol., vol. IV, p. 41 ff., since which time a better and more correct translation, likewise German, by the author H. G. W. E. M., saw the light at Ulm 1701, 4to, with a preface by Dr. Elias Veielius.
5. Ἐκ τῶν Προφητικῶν ἐκλογαί. Haec excerpta posteriora saniora sunt prioribus, sed in Graeco-Latinis Clementis editionibus itidem tantum Graece exstant, atque extrema parte mutila. Caeterum cum notis Francisci Combefisii leguntur Graece et Latine in auctario ipsius novissimo ad Bibliothecam Patrum, Paris. 1672, fol. In his subinde refellit Clemens (illum enim auctorem non dubito) errores Heracleonis, Tatiani, Hermogenis : plura etiam refert ex Apocryphis Henochi, et Apocalypsi atque κηρύγματι Petri; ex Hermae etiam Pastoris lib. II, mandato 5, verba desumpta et illustrata videre est § 45, licet de nomine eum non laudet. Dogmatum vero haereticorum expositionem utilem esse disputat § 29 : Φέρει δὲ καὶ ἄλλην συγγυμνασίαν ψυχῆς ζητητικῆς ἡ τῆς ἑτεροδόξου διδασκαλίας ἔκθεσις, καὶ ἀνεξαπάτητον τῆς ἀληθοῦς τηρεῖ τὸν μαθητήν. Has Eclogas esse partem Hypotyposeon Clementis Alexandrini, non absurde
5. Selections from the Prophetic Scriptures. These latter excerpts are sounder than the former, but in the Graeco-Latin editions of Clement they likewise are extant only in Greek, and mutilated at the end. For the rest, with the notes of Franciscus Combefis they are read in Greek and Latin in his newest supplement to the Bibliotheca Patrum, Paris, 1672, fol. In these Clement (for I do not doubt that he is the author) from time to time refutes the errors of Heracleon, Tatian, Hermogenes: he also relates several things from the Apocrypha of Enoch, and the Apocalypse and Preaching of Peter; from book 2, mandate 5 of the Shepherd of Hermas also, words taken and illustrated may be seen in § 45, although he does not cite him by name. Moreover, that the exposition of heretical dogmas is useful he argues in § 29: The exposition of heterodox teaching brings also another exercise of an inquiring soul, and keeps the disciple of the true teaching undeceived. That these Eclogues are a part of the Hypotyposes of Clement of Alexandria, not absurdly

Codicem illum praestantissimum olim fuisse apud Basilianos Messanenses monachos, putabat Montf. in Bibl. bibliothecar., I, pag. 234. — In eodem codice sunt Excerpta ex libris Theodoti et Selecta prophetarum. — Paedagogi libri III, Κλήμεντος λόγοι dicuntur in codice XXIV, plut. V, cum notis incerti auctoris margin. quem Bandin., l. c. I, pag. 49 seq., uberius describit. Libri in cod. dividuntur in capita, et singulis capitibus praemittuntur argumenta. Illos libros excipiunt Hymnus Christi servatoris, S. Clementis et Versus incerti in Clementis Paedagogum. Illo cod. usus est quoque Victorius; sed omisit scholia quaedam, charactere ligato et currenti ab eodem scriptore codicis in ora libri hinc inde adjecta, quorum quaedam Bandinius descripsit et promulgavit. Idem calligraphus, ait Bandin., ut ostenderet consensum textus Clementis cum quadam Arethae, archiepiscopi Caesariensis, interpretatione, desumpta forsan ex ejus Catena in Apocalypsin Joannis, longum scholium in ora libri descripsit, cujus initium ac finem edidit Bandin. — In codd.

I, pag. 34, 52, 161, 253, 347 et 549.) — Paedagogi tres libri in cod. Veneto D. Marci, cum lemmatibus singulis capp. praefixis, et notis nonnullis ad oram conjectis, vid. Villoison, Anecd. Graec.

Fabricius has already cited several codices here and there. Concerning the parchment codex of the Laurentian Medicean Library at Florence, of the 11th century, which contains the Stromata, of which Fabricius made mention above in § 3, Bandini has written more in Cat. codd. Gr. I, p. 12, who besides, after Fabricius (above, § 5), observes that the recent Clermont codex mentioned by Le Nourry seems to have been copied from the Medicean. That that most excellent codex was formerly among the Basilian monks of Messina was thought by Montfaucon in Bibl. bibliothecar., I, p. 234. — In the same codex are the Excerpts from the Books of Theodotus and the Selections from the Prophets. — The three books of the Paedagogus are called Discourses of Clement in codex 24, bookcase 5, with marginal notes of an uncertain author, which Bandini, loc. cit. I, p. 49 ff., describes more fully. The books in the codex are divided into chapters, and arguments are prefixed to the individual chapters. Those books are followed by the Hymn of Christ the Saviour of St. Clement and the Verses of an uncertain author on Clement's Paedagogus. Victorius also used that codex; but he omitted certain scholia, added here and there on the margin of the book in a ligatured and cursive hand by the same scribe of the codex, some of which Bandini copied and published. The same calligrapher, says Bandini, in order to show the agreement of the text of Clement with a certain interpretation of Arethas, archbishop of Caesarea, taken perhaps from his Catena on the Apocalypse of John, copied a long scholium on the margin of the book, the beginning and end of which Bandini published. — In codd. 8, no. 55, bookcase 9, there are, among brief definitions of the Holy Fathers on substance and nature, etc., excerpts from Clement of Alexandria's Discourse on Providence. (Bandini, I, p. 402.) — A codex of Clement of Alexandria in which Stephanus wrote many notes, at Frankfurt am Main, is mentioned by Folard, in Histoire d'un Voyage littéraire, fait en 1733, etc., The Hague, 1735, May 12, on the testimony of Stolle, in his notice of that library (Kurze Nachricht von den Büchern — in der Stollischen Bibl.) vol. I, p. 563. — Passages of Clement occur in Catenae on the Psalms, on Job and on the four Gospels, and Clement is cited in the Florilegium of Sentences, in the Violarium, and by J. Cantacuzenus against Palamas. (Bandini I, p. 34, 52, 161, 253, 347 and 549.) — The three books of the Paedagogus in the Venetian codex of St. Mark, with headings prefixed to the individual chapters, and some notes cast upon the margin, see Villoison, Anecd. Graec. II, p. 98 and p. 249. — In the codex of the Modena library, the Protrepticus, the Paedagogus and the Hymn, as in the printed editions, on the testimony of Montfaucon in his Diarium Italicum, p. 31.

That he had Clement of Alexandria most carefully emended and augmented, and in his notes on Clement himself would diligently examine the emendations of Heinsius, was formerly attested by J. Croius, ch. 21 of his Observations on the New Testament, p. 172. But that edition of Clement never came forth.

Fuller than the rest, more polished and more emended from the codices, is the edition with the notes of Sylburg, Heinsius, Wilh. Lowth and other learned men cared for by Potter: who translated the Protrepticus anew, corrected in the remaining works the translation of Hervetus by the Greek, and added other useful things. And it is entitled:

J. Tribbechovius's Dissertation on the Life and Writings of Clement of Alexandria, Halle in Magdeburg, 1706, 4to. This disputation indeed contains nothing new; yet towards the end (§ 25-31) the blemishes of Clement are well collected and reviewed, first those which pertain to philology, then those which pertain to theology. — A second Dissertation on Clement of Alexandria by the same J. Tribbechovius, and that on the definition of philosophy, with a fuller analysis of book 1 of the Stromata prefixed from Le Nourry's Apparatus to the Bibliotheca Patrum maxima, Halle 1706, 4to, is at times more effective for a better understanding of the books and of certain indications of Clement. Whether Tribbechovius continued the work which he seems to have promised in the last paragraph, for my part I do not know, and almost doubt.

Hoc cum praefatione erudita et fasciculo Miscellanearum ad Hist. ecclesiasticam spectantium observationum editum Lipsiae 1700, 8, ab eodem praeclaro doctore meo, Thoma Ittigio, complectitur :
This, published with a learned preface and a fascicle of Miscellaneous Observations relating to Ecclesiastical History at Leipzig, 1700, 8vo, by the same illustrious teacher of mine, Thomas Ittig, comprises:
1. Librum pium et lectione in primis dignum, qui inscribitur : Τίς ὁ σωζόμενος πλούσιος; Quis dives salvetur? Clementi hic diserte tribuitur ab Eusebio, III, 23, VI, 13, Hieronymo aliisque et Photio, qui codice CXI testatur in quibusdam exemplaribus hunc libellum fuisse loco octavi Stromatum libri. Unde non mirum, quod Anastasius Sinaita in psalmum VI (ap. Combefis. tom. I Auctar. noviss., pag. 966), ἔκ τινος τῶν στρωματικῶν Clementis λόγων afferre se ait narrationem de Joanne apostolo, juvenem perditum persequente et ad frugem reducente, quae capite ultimo hujus libri exstat, repetiturque inde ab Eusebio III, 23, Hist., et aliis quos laudavi ad Abdiam V, 3, pag. 536. Codicis apocryphi Novi Test. meminit iterum Anastasius pag. 934, ubi Clementem τὸν ἱστορικὸν Ἀλεξανδρείας appellat. Igitur haud dubie Clementis est, non Origenis, licet in ms. Vaticano Origenis in Jeremiam homiliis adjunctus, atque inde sub falso Origenis nomine editus sit a Mich. Ghislerio tom. III Commentar. in Jeremiam (Lugd. 1633, fol.), p. 262, cum versione Jo. Matthaei Caryophili. Sed in praefat. c. 7, § 4, ipse errorem Ghislerius agnovit, et Clementi vindicandum illum librum statuit, sub cujus nomine cum nova versione et notis edidit Franciscus Combefisius, nullo alio ms. codice usus, in Auctario noviss. Bibliothecae Patrum, tom. I, pag. 1672, fol. Ex Combefisii editione recusus Latine in Bibliotheca Patrum, Lugd. a. 1677, tomo III, ac Graece et Latine cum succinctis J. Felli, Oxoniensis episcopi, scholiis, Oxon. 1683, 12, e theatro Sheldoniano, sed notis Combefisii omissis, quas suae tamen editioni praeter Felli scholia, et varias e Ghisleriana et Combefisiana lectiones, Ittigius adjunxit. FABRIC. Rec. Oxon. in ed. Potteri Fellique notis subjectis textui quem excipiunt p. 961 sq. notae Combefisii. HARL.
1. A pious book and worthy above all of being read, which is entitled: Who is the rich man that shall be saved? This is expressly attributed to Clement by Eusebius, III, 23, VI, 13, Jerome and others, and Photius, who in codex 111 testifies that in certain copies this little book stood in place of the eighth book of the Stromata. Whence it is no wonder that Anastasius Sinaita on Psalm 6 (in Combefis, vol. I of the Auctarium novissimum, p. 966) says that he adduces from one of the Stromatic discourses of Clement the narrative concerning the Apostle John pursuing a lost youth and bringing him back to amendment, which is extant in the last chapter of this book, and is repeated thence by Eusebius, History III, 23, and others whom I have cited on Abdias V, 3, p. 536. Anastasius again makes mention of an apocryphal codex of the New Testament on p. 934, where he calls Clement the historian of Alexandria. Therefore without doubt it is Clement's, not Origen's, although in a Vatican manuscript it was subjoined to Origen's homilies on Jeremiah, and thence was published under the false name of Origen by Mich. Ghislerius in vol. III of his Commentaries on Jeremiah (Lyons, 1633, fol.), p. 262, with the version of Jo. Matthaeus Caryophilus. But in the preface, ch. 7, § 4, Ghislerius himself recognized the error, and determined that that book should be claimed for Clement, under whose name Franciscus Combefisius, using no other manuscript codex, published it with a new version and notes in the Auctarium novissimum of the Bibliotheca Patrum, vol. I, p. 1672, fol. From the edition of Combefisius it was reprinted in Latin in the Bibliotheca Patrum, Lyons, A.D. 1677, vol. III, and in Greek and Latin with the succinct scholia of J. Fell, Bishop of Oxford, at Oxford, 1683, 12mo, from the Sheldonian Theatre, but with the notes of Combefisius omitted, which nevertheless Ittig subjoined to his own edition besides the scholia of Fell and the variant readings from the editions of Ghislerius and Combefisius. FABRICIUS. Reprinted at Oxford in Potter's edition with Fell's notes subjoined to the text, which is followed on p. 961 ff. by the notes of Combefisius. HARLES.
2. Adumbrationes in aliquot epistolas canonicas, ex veteri Latina versione, de qua Cassiodorus c. 8 Institut. divinarum litterarum : In epistolis canonicis Clemens Alexandrinus presbyter, qui et Stromateus vocatur, id est, in Epistola S.

Ubi multa quidem subtiliter, sed aliqua incaute locutus est : quae nos ita transferri fecimus in Latinum, ut exclusis quibusdam offendiculis purificata doctrina ejus securior potuisset hauriri.

Verisimile igiest, ex illo opere Cassiodorum, Adumbrationes hasce, quo ipso forte vocabulo Graecum Ὑποτυπώσεων exprimere voluit, excerpendas curasse, quas Latine Ittigius dedit post editiones in Bibliothecis Patrum, Paris. 1575 (tom. VI Par. 1576, fol.), 1589, 1654, et Lugd. 1677, et post editionem Oxoniensem ad calcem libri De divite salvando 1683, 12 (in ed. Potteri pag. 1006, sqq.).
speech. Wherein he has spoken many things indeed subtly, but some things incautiously: which we have caused to be so translated into Latin that, certain stumbling-blocks being excluded, his purified doctrine might be drawn with greater safety. That Clement in the books of the Hypotyposes also interpreted the catholic Epistles is attested by Eusebius, History IV, 14, and Photius, cod. 109. It is probable therefore that from that work Cassiodorus caused to be excerpted these Outlines, by which very word perhaps he wished to express the Greek Hypotyposes, which Ittig gave in Latin after the editions in the Bibliothecae Patrum, Paris, 1575 (vol. VI, Paris, 1576, fol.), 1589, 1654, and Lyons, 1677, and after the Oxford edition at the end of the book On the Rich Man's Being Saved, 1683, 12mo (in Potter's edition p. 1006 ff.).
3. Fragmenta Clementis Alex. a Jo. Fello collecta ex Nicetae in Jobum et Corderiana in Lucam Catena, quibus alia Ittigius addidit tum ex eadem in Jobum, tum ex Nicetae in Matthaeum Catena, ex Eusebio item atque Oecumenio. His caeterisque, quae in praefatione etiam monet adjungenda esse, addi potest fragmentum Clementis, quod exhibet Catena in Pentateuchum, Latine edita a Francisco Zephyro, p. 146, licet consimilia quodammodo legantur V Strom., pag. 564 : Nomen illud mysticum quod vocant tetragrammaton, quo tantum muniebantur illi, quibus adytum pervium erat, sonat Jehovah, quod interpretatur qui est et qui erit; candelabrum vero, quod australem plagam adstabat altaris, septem planetas referebat, qui per meridianam regionem circumagi nobis videntur, cui terni utrinque rami consurgunt, quoniam sol quasi candelabrum mundi medius inter alios planetas divina sapientia libratus sua luce superiores lustrat et inferiores. Ad alteram partem ipsius arae posita erat mensa, in qua panes proponebantur, quod ex ea parte caeli flatus nobis vitales et almi adspirent. FABR. Haec et plura alia, a Grabio collecta, etiam id, quod Fabr. h. l. produxerat, reperiuntur in Oxon. Potteri edit. p. 1011 sqq. Editioni Venetae Potter. ea, quae Fabric. calci edit. suae Hippolyti adjecerat, esse addita, supra me jam monere memini. HARL.
3. Fragments of Clement of Alexandria collected by Jo. Fell from Nicetas's Catena on Job and Corderius's on Luke, to which Ittig added others both from the same on Job, and from Nicetas's Catena on Matthew, and likewise from Eusebius and Oecumenius. To these and the rest which in the preface he also advises should be subjoined, may be added a fragment of Clement which the Catena on the Pentateuch exhibits, published in Latin by Franciscus Zephyrus, p. 146, although somewhat similar things are read in Stromata V, p. 564: That mystical name which they call the tetragrammaton, with which alone those were furnished to whom the innermost sanctuary was accessible, sounds Jehovah, which is interpreted He Who is and Who shall be; and the candlestick, which stood by the southern side of the altar, represented the seven planets, which seem to us to revolve through the southern region, on which three branches rise on either side, since the sun like the candlestick of the world poised in the midst among the other planets by divine wisdom illumines with its light those above and those below. On the other side of the altar itself was placed a table, on which the loaves were set forth, because from that quarter of the sky vital and nourishing breezes blow upon us. FABRICIUS. These and several others, collected by Grabe, including that which Fabricius had produced in this place, are found in Potter's Oxford edition, p. 1011 ff. That to the Venetian edition of Potter those things were added which Fabricius had subjoined to the end of his edition of Hippolytus, I remember having already noted above. HARLES.

Cangii, S. Maximus ad Dionys. c. 1 De mystica theol., pag. 17, et Jo. Moschus in Prato spirituali, cap. 176, quem locum, cum laudasset Baronius ad A. C. 31, n. 40, ut probaret Petrum a Christo baptizatum esse, Richardus Montacutius lib. II Originum eccles. pag. 52 : En tibicinem, inquit, ruituro alioqui parieti! Clemens ὁ πολυμαθής adnotatur in partes ex Hypotyposibus, sed citatus a Sophronio in Prato spirituali. Neque enim Baronius Clementis, credo, vidit Hypotyposes. Certe magnus auctor Clemens, licet nimis interdum credulus apocrypticis narrationibus et rumoribus ab incerta traditione. Secundo criticorum quidam nominatissimi opus illud Hypotyposeon non lectum sibi visum (sed περὶ παντὸς ὄντος καὶ μὴ ὄντος judicant critici) devocant in quaestionem. Quod si exstaret, multiplici procul dubio doctrina, ut ille alter λόγος στρωματεῖος nos recrearet. Sed an ille antiquissimus et eruditissimus Pater tale aliquid retulerit in Hypotyposibus, tum tandem intelligemus, cum Patres Societatis qua summa pollent gratia et auctoritate apud hodiernum patriarcham Alexandrinum, illud opus tessellatum in usum publicum Ecclesiae impetraverint. Scribebat enim aliquando doctissimus Fronto litteris ad clarissimum Savilium missis, apud illum patriarcham librum hunc exstare.
of Du Cange, St. Maximus on Dionysius, ch. 1 On Mystical Theology, p. 17, and Jo. Moschus in the Spiritual Meadow, ch. 176, which passage, when Baronius had cited it at A.D. 31, no. 40, to prove that Peter was baptized by Christ, Richard Montagu in book II of his Ecclesiastical Origins, p. 52, says: Behold a prop for a wall that would otherwise fall! Clement the polymath is summoned to take part from the Hypotyposes, but cited by Sophronius in the Spiritual Meadow. For Baronius, I believe, did not see the Hypotyposes of Clement. Assuredly Clement is a great author, though at times too credulous of apocryphal narratives and rumours from uncertain tradition. Secondly, certain most celebrated critics call into question that work of the Hypotyposes which they have never seen or read (but critics pass judgement on everything that exists and does not exist). Which if it were extant, would without doubt refresh us with manifold learning, like that other Stromatic discourse. But whether that most ancient and most learned Father related any such thing in the Hypotyposes, we shall then at length understand, when the Fathers of the Society, by the supreme favour and authority wherewith they prevail with the present Patriarch of Alexandria, shall have obtained that mosaic work for the public use of the Church. For the most learned Fronto once wrote in letters sent to the most illustrious Savile, that this book was extant in the possession of that patriarch.
2. Σύγγραμμα Κλήμεντος ταῦ Στρωματέως εἰς τὸν προφήτην Ἀμώς memorat Palladius in Historia Lausiaca, pag. 147 edit. Meursii.
2. A treatise of Clement the Stromatist on the Prophet Amos is mentioned by Palladius in his Lausiac History, p. 147 of Meursius's edition.
3. Περὶ προνοίας, ex quo fragmenta apud S. Maximum tom. II Opp., pag. 144, 152, itemque aliud ex mss. Reg. apud Nourrium, pag. 1336 sq. Apparatus ad Bibl. Patrum. Fragmentum insigne ex Clem.

3. On Providence, from which there are fragments in St. Maximus, vol. II of his Works, p. 144, 152, and likewise another from the Royal manuscripts in Le Nourry, p. 1336 ff. of his Apparatus to the Bibliotheca Patrum. A notable fragment from book I of Clement of Alexandria On Providence is extant in Anastasius Sinaita, question 96. FABRICIUS. — Fragments in Potter's edition, p. 1016 ff., — and in Fabricius's appendix in the Venetian edition. That in the Laurentian Medicean codex there are excerpts from Clement's discourse On Providence, from Bandini I, p. 402, we have already noted above. HARLES.
4. Περὶ τοῦ Πάσχα σύγγραμμα. Euseb. IV, 26, VI, 13; Hier. De script. eccles., c. 38; Phot. cod. III. Fragmenta in Chronico Alex., pag. 7 edit. Cangii. Et in Petavii Uranologio, pag. 214. In hoc libro testatus, Eusebio teste, fuit Clemens, se a fratribus adactum ad scripto consignandas παραδόσεις, quas ab antiquioribus presbyteris acceperat. Per has nolim Constitutionum apostolicarum opus intelligere cum doctissimo Beveregio; sed illud ipsum de Paschate opus, in quo traditiones antiquiorum de hoc argumento exposuerat. [Fragm. in Potter. edit. pag. 1017.]
4. Treatise On the Passover. Eusebius, IV, 26, VI, 13; Jerome, On Ecclesiastical Writers, ch. 38; Photius, cod. III [sic; read 111]. Fragments in the Alexandrian Chronicle, p. 7 of Du Cange's edition. And in Petavius's Uranologium, p. 214. In this book Clement testified, as Eusebius witnesses, that he was compelled by the brethren to commit to writing the traditions which he had received from the more ancient presbyters. By these I would not understand the work of the Apostolic Constitutions with the most learned Beveridge; but that very work on the Passover, in which he had set forth the traditions of the ancients on this subject.

8. Κανὼν ἐκκλησιαστικὸς, ἢ πρὸς τοὺς Ἰουδαΐζοντας. Hieron. De canonibus ecclesiasticis et adversus eos qui Judaeorum sequuntur errorem, liber unus, quem proprie Alexandro, Hierosolymorum episcopo, προσεφώνησε. Canonum apostolicorum collectionem, quae hodie exstat, per hoc opus ab Eusebio et Hieronymo innui, non crediderim. Sane Photius, qui mox lectos a se canones apostolorum cod. CXII commemorat, Clementis, Romani, sub nomine, inter ea, quae a Clemente Alex. scripta non ipse legit, sed memorari tantum ab aliis meminit cod. CXI, refert Περὶ κανόνων ἐκκλησιαστικῶν κατὰ τῶν ἀκολουθούντων τῇ τῶν Ἰουδαίων πλάνῃ. Atque unius, non duorum scriptorum hunc esse titulum, Eusebius et Hieron. dubitare nos haud sinunt. Fragmentum Clementis Ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ Ἰουδαϊζόντων servatum in Nicephori CPol. Antirrheticis mss. Graece et Latine edidit Nourrius p. 1334, Apparat. [et in Fabr. append. in ed. Pott. Veneta, circ. fin.].
8. Ecclesiastical Canon, or Against the Judaizers. Jerome, On Ecclesiastical Canons and against those who follow the error of the Jews, one book, which he dedicated specifically to Alexander, bishop of Jerusalem. That the collection of Apostolic Canons which is extant today is meant by this work by Eusebius and Jerome, I would not believe. Assuredly Photius, who presently mentions the Canons of the Apostles read by himself in cod. 112 under the name of Clement of Rome, among those things written by Clement of Alexandria which he did not himself read, but remembers in cod. 111 as only mentioned by others, records On Ecclesiastical Canons against those who follow the error of the Jews. And that this is the title of one writing, not of two, Eusebius and Jerome do not allow us to doubt. A fragment of Clement From the book against the Judaizers preserved in the manuscript Antirrhetica of Nicephorus of Constantinople was published in Greek and Latin by Le Nourry, p. 1334 of his Apparatus [and in Fabricius's appendix in the Venetian edition of Potter, near the end].
9. Ὅροι διάφοροι. Jo. Veccus de processione Spiritus S., apud Allatium in Graecia orthodoxa, tom. I, pag. 248 : Ἀλλὰ καὶ ὁ Κλήμης ὁ Στρωματεὺς ἐν οἷς συνέθετο διαφόροις ὅροις ὥστε παντὸς εὐσεβοῦς δόγματος προηγεῖσθαι αὐτοὺς τῷ βουλομένῳ Θεολογίαν μετιέναι, ὁριζόμενος τί πνεῦμα, καὶ ὁσαχῶς λέγεται πνεῦμα, φησί· Πνεῦμα μέν ἐστι λεπτὴ καὶ ἄϋλος καὶ ἀσχημάτιστος ἐκπορευτικὴ ὕπαρξις. [In append. Fabric. in edit. Veneta.]
9. Various Definitions. Jo. Veccus on the procession of the Holy Spirit, in Allatius in Graecia orthodoxa, vol. I, p. 248: But Clement the Stromatist also, in the various definitions which he composed so that they might precede every pious dogma for one who wishes to pursue Theology, defining what spirit is, and in how many ways spirit is spoken of, says: Spirit is a subtle and immaterial and formless forth-going subsistence. [In Fabricius's appendix in the Venetian edition.]
10. Plura scripta sua sive memorat sive promittit Clemens ipse, ut De principiis, Strom. III, p. 431 : Ἀλλὰ πρὸς μὲν τούτους (Μαρκιωνιστάς) ὁπότ' ἂν τὸν Περὶ ἀρχῶν διαλαμβάνωμεν λόγον, ἀκριβέστατα διαλεξώμεθα. Libro, Quis dives salvetur? § 26, ὅπερ ἐν τῇ ἀρχῶν καὶ θεολογίας ἐξηγήσει μυστήριον τοῦ Σωτῆρος ὑπάρχει μαθεῖν. Iterum meminit hujus tractationis, III Strom., pag. 434 : Ἐπειδὰν δὲ περὶ τῶν ἀρχῶν διαλαμβάνωμεν, etc. Hic est ἀρχικὸς λόγος, de uno Deo, qui per legem et prophetas atque Evangelium praedicatur, quem promittit, Strom. IV, pag. 510, licet jam de hoc argumenta quaedam dixisset III, pag. 457, seq.
10. Clement himself either mentions or promises several writings of his own, such as On First Principles, Stromata III, p. 431: But against these (the Marcionites), whenever we treat of the discourse On First Principles, we shall dispute most accurately. In the book Who is the rich man that shall be saved? § 26, which mystery of the Saviour it is possible to learn in the exposition of first principles and theology. Again he makes mention of this treatise in Stromata III, p. 434: And when we treat concerning first principles, etc. This is the discourse on first principles, concerning the one God Who is proclaimed through the law and the prophets and the Gospel, which he promises in Stromata IV, p. 510, although he had already spoken some arguments on this subject in III, p. 457 ff.
De prophetia. Strom. V, pag. 531 : Καὶ ὅ τι ποτέ ἐστι τὸ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα, ἐν τοῖς Περὶ προφητείας κἀν τοῖς Περὶ ψυχῆς ἐπιδειχθήσεται ἡμῖν. Adde IV, pag. 511.
On Prophecy. Stromata V, p. 531: And whatever the Holy Spirit is, shall be shown by us in the books On Prophecy and in those On the Soul. Add IV, p. 511.

PG 8:26
allegorice interpretandis, Strom. VI, pag. 580 : Ἀλληγορεῖσθαι δέ τινα ἐκ τούτων τῶν ὀνομάτων, ὁσιώτερον, ἃ δὴ καὶ προϊόντος τοῦ λόγου κατὰ τὸν οἰκεῖον καιρὸν διασαφήσομεν.
as to be interpreted allegorically, Stromata VI, p. 580: That some of these names should be allegorized is more pious, which indeed as the discourse proceeds we shall make clear at the proper season.
De angelis. Strom. VI, pag. 631 : Ἀλλὰ περὶ μὲν τούτων ἐν τῷ Περὶ ἀγγέλων λόγῳ προϊούσης τῆς γραφῆς κατὰ καιρὸν διαλεξώμεθα.
On Angels. Stromata VI, p. 631: But concerning these things we shall dispute at the proper season in the discourse On Angels as the writing proceeds.
De diabolo. Strom. IV, pag. 507 : Ἀλλὰ πρὸς μὲν τὰ δόγματα ἐκεῖνα εἰ μετενσωματοῦται ἡ ψυχὴ, καὶ περὶ τοῦ διαβόλου κατὰ τοὺς οἰκείους λεχθήσεται καιρούς.
On the Devil. Stromata IV, p. 507: But against those dogmas whether the soul transmigrates into other bodies, and concerning the devil, it shall be spoken at the proper seasons.
Περὶ γενέσεως κόσμου. Strom. VI, pag. 698; Περὶ τῆς ἀνθρώπου γενέσεως, Strom. III, p. 466. Hinc Eusebius De Clemente, VI, 13, Hist. : Ὑπισχνεῖται δ' ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ εἰς τὴν γένεσιν ὑπομνηματιεῖσθαι.
On the Generation of the World. Stromata VI, p. 698; On the Generation of Man, Stromata III, p. 466. Hence Eusebius concerning Clement, History VI, 13: And he promises in them to write a commentary also on Genesis.
De Ecclesiae unitate et excellentia, Strom. VII, pag. 765 : Ἀλλὰ καὶ ἡ ἐξοχὴ τῆς Ἐκκλησίας καθάπερ ἡ ἀρχὴ τῆς συστάσεως κατὰ τὴν μονάδα ἐστὶν, πάντα τὰ ἄλλα ὑπερβάλλουσα καὶ μηδὲν ἔχουσα ὅμοιον ἢ ἴσον ἑαυτῇ. Ταυτὶ μὲν οὖν ὕστερον.
On the Unity and Excellence of the Church, Stromata VII, p. 765: But the pre-eminence of the Church also, just as the principle of its constitution, is according to the monad, surpassing all other things and having nothing like or equal to itself. Of these things, then, hereafter.
De officiis episcoporum, presbyterorum, diaconorum et viduarum videtur promittere se alio opere acturum III, ult. Paedagogi, pag. 265.
On the Duties of Bishops, Presbyters, Deacons and Widows he seems to promise that he will treat in another work in the last chapter of book III of the Paedagogus, p. 265.
De anima ὁπηνίκα ἂν περὶ ψυχῆς διαλαμβάνωμεν, Strom. III, pag. 432. Adde IV, p. 591. [Fragm. Potter. pag. 1020.]
On the Soul, whenever we treat concerning the soul, Stromata III, p. 432. Add IV, p. 591. [Fragments in Potter, p. 1020.]
De resurrectione, Paedagog. II, 20, pag. 199 : Ὡς ἐν τῷ Περὶ ἀναστάσεως διὰ πλειόνων δηλωθήσεται, et lib. I, c. 6, p. 104 : Ἀλλὰ γὰρ αὖθις ἡμῖν σαφέστερον τοῦτο ἐν τῷ Περὶ ἀναστάσεως δηλωθήσεται.
On the Resurrection, Paedagogus II, 20, p. 199: As shall be shown at greater length in the book On the Resurrection, and book I, ch. 6, p. 104: For hereafter this shall be shown more clearly by us in the book On the Resurrection.
De nuptiis, ἐν τῷ γαμικῷ διέξιμεν λόγῳ. Paedagog. III, 8, p. 237. Nisi forte respicit, quae II, 10, Paedagogi de illo argumento, aut tertio Stromatum disseruit. [Fragment. Potter. pag. 1022.]
On Marriage, we shall set forth in the discourse on marriage. Paedagogus III, 8, p. 237. Unless perhaps he refers to what he discoursed on that subject in Paedagogus II, 10, or in the third book of the Stromata. [Fragments in Potter, p. 1022.]
De continentia, καὶ τοῦτο ἐν τῷ περὶ ἐγκρατείας ἡμῖν δεδήλωται, Paedagogi, II, 10, p. 193. In eodem forte λόγῳ disputaverat de eo, quid vere sit turpe et obscenum, quod II, 6, Paedagogi, p. 169, testatur se fecisse : Διειλήφαμεν δὲ βαθυτέρῳ λόγῳ ὡς ἄρα οὔτε ἐν ὀνόμασιν, οὐδὲ μὴν ἐν τοῖς συνουσιαστικοῖς μορίοις καὶ τῇ κατὰ γάμον συμπλοκῇ ἡ τοῦ ὄντως αἰσχροῦ προσηγορία τάττεται. Videtur itidem librum tertium Stromatum innuere, in quo pag. 434, diserte : Ὁ δὲ περὶ ἐγκρατείας ἡμῖν προβαινέτω λόγος.
On Continence, and this has been shown by us in the book on continence, Paedagogus II, 10, p. 193. In the same discourse perhaps he had disputed concerning what is truly shameful and obscene, which in Paedagogus II, 6, p. 169, he testifies that he did: And we have discussed in a deeper discourse how the appellation of what is truly shameful is placed neither in names, nor indeed in the generative parts and the conjugal embrace. He seems likewise to point to the third book of the Stromata, in which on p. 434 he says expressly: Now let our discourse concerning continence proceed.
Adversus haereses, Strom. IV, pag. 510, ubi se unum Deum adversus illas demonstraturum promittit. Contra philosophorum sententias de summo bono, II Strom., pag. 419. Contra haereticorum γνῶσιν profanam, VII Strom., pag. 722. Sed forte non peculiares hi libri fuerunt, verum ut in Stromatis passim facit, ita et in Hypotyposibus haereticos illos et philosophos oppugnare potuit.
Against Heresies, Stromata IV, p. 510, where he promises that he will demonstrate the one God against them. Against the opinions of the philosophers concerning the supreme good, Stromata II, p. 419. Against the profane gnosis of the heretics, Stromata VII, p. 722. But perhaps these were not separate books, rather just as he does here and there in the Stromata, so also in the Hypotyposes he may have attacked those heretics and philosophers.
