Cum reverendus admodum Johannes Fell, episcopus Oxoniensis, nuper a me petierit ut tractatum hic sequentem (qui Cypriani perhibetur esse, estque cum reliquis Cypriani jam edendus) perlegerem, et saltem numeros (quos depravatos esse suspicatus

Since the right reverend John Fell, bishop of Oxford, recently asked me that I should read through the treatise following here (which is said to be Cyprian's, and is now to be published along with the rest of Cyprian's works), and at least the numbers (which he suspected were corrupt)

suoque apographo suas de emendatione conjecturas calamo inseruit: indeque quem jam tractamus apographum nacti sumus. Hunc demum quem habemus apographum reverendus vir Thomas Gale, sacrae theologiae professor, cum Cottoniano illo codice contulit, et sicubi deviatum erat restituit; suis item adjectis stricturis aliquot, quibus vel emendationes insinuabat, vel phrases aliquot inibi quae cum Cypriani dictis alibi consentiunt, unde de auctore conjectura fieret. His ita ad me delatis, rem in eum fere quem vides ordinem conjeci. Putaram aliquando illas, sive Usserii, sive Galei, sive meas etiam de emendatione conjecturas, textui inserere, sed uncis inclusas; ipsiusque textus voculas, quae videbantur mutandae, alio charactere scribere, quo et manuscriptum fideliter exhiberem, et emendatio lectoris oculo foret obvia. Verum, mutato consilio, reverendo episcopo sic monente, qui totius operis editionem curat, quo pars haec caeteris sit conformis, textum emendatum, sive ex eorum sive ex nostris conjecturis id fieret, integrum apposui; conjectis ad calcem paginae, quae vel in manuscripto menda fuerant, vel censebantur, vel aliae erant de emendatione conjecturae quam quae in textu comparent. Numeris utitur hic codex solis Romanis (non item Indicis, Barbaricis vulgo dictis), habetque inter illos, litteram Ī superne notatam pro mille, et IIII, VIIII, XXXX, LXXXX, pro quatuor, novem, quadraginta, nonaginta (pro quibus nunc fere scribi solent M, IV, IX, XL, XC): sicubi aliter factum est, id exscriptoris esse sentio, non autographi. Occurrunt quidem aliquoties in apographo nostro numeri Indici, 2, 3, 4, etc.: sed, inquisitione scrupulosius facta, id exscriptoris esse intelligo, et in autographo non inveniri; ut qui ea aetate qua scriptus censetur Cottonianus codex (sub finem noni a Christo saeculi), nondum apud Europaeos nostros in usu fuerant (sed saeculo saltem undecimo, aut serius); sed nec parentheseos notae ibidem comparent; nescio an interstinctionum puncta: quae itaque ex judicio nostro supplevi. Numeros qui passim erant mendosi et depravati, ex calculo restitui, et consultis S. Scripturae locis quo respiciebant. Alia menda graphica quamplurima, sive ut syntaxeos ratio postulabat, sive alias, ex conjectura supplevi;

and in his own copy he inserted with the pen his conjectures on emendation: and from that we obtained the copy which we are now handling. This copy which we have, finally, the reverend Thomas Gale, professor of sacred theology, collated with that Cottonian codex, and wherever there had been a deviation he restored it; adding also some brief notes of his own, by which he either suggested emendations, or [pointed out] certain phrases therein which agree with sayings of Cyprian elsewhere, from which a conjecture might be made about the author. These things having thus been brought to me, I arranged the matter in roughly the order which you see. I had at one time intended to insert those conjectures on emendation, whether Ussher's, or Gale's, or even my own, into the text, but enclosed in brackets; and to write the little words of the text itself which seemed to need changing in another type, so that I might both present the manuscript faithfully and the emendation might meet the reader's eye. But, having changed my plan, on the advice of the reverend bishop who is overseeing the edition of the whole work, so that this part might be uniform with the rest, I have set down the emended text entire, whether this was done from their conjectures or from ours; casting to the foot of the page the things which either had been faults in the manuscript, or were thought to be, or were conjectures on emendation other than those which appear in the text. This codex uses Roman numerals only (not likewise the Indian ones, commonly called Barbarian), and among them it has the letter I marked above for a thousand, and IIII, VIIII, XXXX, LXXXX for four, nine, forty, ninety (in place of which M, IV, IX, XL, XC are now generally written): wherever it has been done otherwise, I judge this to be the copyist's doing, not the original's. Indian numerals, 2, 3, 4, etc., do indeed occur several times in our copy: but, having made a more scrupulous enquiry, I understand this to be the copyist's doing, and that they are not found in the original; since at the age in which the Cottonian codex is reckoned to have been written (towards the end of the ninth century after Christ), they were not yet in use among us Europeans (but in the eleventh century at the earliest, or later); nor do marks of parenthesis appear there either; I do not know whether the points of punctuation do: these, therefore, I have supplied by our own judgement. Numbers which here and there were faulty and corrupted I have restored by calculation, and by consulting the places of Holy Scripture to which they referred. Very many other scribal faults, whether as the rule of syntax required, or otherwise, I have supplied by conjecture;

indicata tamen codicis ms. lectione, ut, si quis inde rectius conjecerit, id ipsi liberum foret. Atque haec sunt quae jam ante aliquot menses monenda duxi.

the reading of the manuscript codex being nevertheless indicated, so that, if anyone should conjecture more correctly from it, he would be free to do so. And these are the things which I thought should be pointed out some months ago already.

Postquam haec ita absolveramus, ipsique typothetae suos composuerant typos, mox prelo subjiciendos, spes facta est ex Remensi codice apographum hunc delatum iri. Monuit itaque reverendus episcopus prelum sufflaminandum, atque exspectandum donec apportaretur ille apographus: quod post aliquot septimanas factum est, favore reverendi doctissimique viri P. Mabillon, ordinis Benedictini, cum hoc titulo: Caecilii Cypriani de Pascha computus inchoat.; et hoc praemisso lemmate, Ex ms. C. Bibliothecae S. Remigii Rem. olim LXXI notato, nunc vero 133. Hunc nacti apographum, cum nostro contuli; reperique sic a nostro variantem ut in notis monemus; nec minus mendosum. Id saltem bene contigit ut non semper eodem loci mendosus fuerit uterque codex, sed nunc ex illo noster, nunc ille ex nostro corrigendus. Atque id porro quod plurimis in locis, quae ex conjecturis sive Usserii, sive Galei, sive nostris, emendaveram, codex hic confirmat. Quo casu, omissis conjecturis illis, autoritatem hujus codicis inter variantes lectiones cito; nec conjecturas interpono, nisi cum uterque codex videtur vitiosus. Numerique, in hoc comparent soli Romani, quales in altero (sed o̅o̅ pro mille), non Indici, nec parentheseos notae: atque interstinctionum nescio an ulla habita est in autographo ratio. Pro Calendis habetur Kl., quippe in veteri scriptione K pro Ca scribi solebat, ut krus pro carus, etc. In apographo altero habetur quidem Kal., sed ab exscriptore credo substitutum, qui non erat de singulis litterarum apicibus sollicitus, ipsa verba exhibere contentus; quod in utroque apographo contigisse suspicor. Litteris autem U, G, W, notas et conjecturas designo Usserii, Galei et nostras: litterisque C, R, codices Cottonianum et Rhemensem, saltem nostros inde descriptos apographos. Quae adhuc supersunt menda (supersunt enim) tuo, lector, arbitratui permitto, ipsumque sive de conjecturis nostris, sive de ipso opere, ejusve auctore, judicium. Vale. Vicesimo secundo die julii, anno aerae Dionysianae, 1682.

After we had thus finished these things, and the typesetters themselves had composed their type, soon to be put under the press, hope was raised that this apograph would be brought from the Reims codex. The reverend bishop therefore advised that the press be halted, and that we wait until that apograph should be delivered: which happened after some weeks, by the favour of the reverend and most learned man Father Mabillon, of the Benedictine order, with this title: "Here begins the Easter computus of Caecilius Cyprian."; and with this heading placed before it: "From MS C of the Library of St Remigius of Reims, formerly marked LXXI, but now 133." Having obtained this apograph, I collated it with ours; and I found that it differs from ours in the way we point out in the notes; and that it is no less faulty. This at least turned out well, that the two codices were not always faulty in the same place, but now ours is to be corrected from that one, now that one from ours. And further there is this, that in very many places which I had emended from the conjectures either of Ussher, or of Gale, or our own, this codex confirms them. In that case, leaving those conjectures aside, I cite the authority of this codex among the variant readings; nor do I interpose conjectures, except when both codices seem faulty. And as for the numerals, in this one only Roman ones appear, as in the other (but with oo for a thousand), not Indian ones, nor marks of parenthesis: and I do not know whether any account of punctuation was taken in the autograph. For Calendis there is Kl., since in old writing K used to be written for Ca, as krus for carus, etc. In the other apograph there is indeed Kal., but substituted, I believe, by the copyist, who was not concerned about the individual strokes of the letters, being content to present the words themselves; which I suspect happened in both apographs. By the letters U, G, W I designate the notes and conjectures of Ussher, Gale and ourselves; and by the letters C, R the Cottonian and Reims codices, or at least our apographs copied from them. The faults that still remain (for some do remain) I leave to your discretion, reader, together with your judgement, whether on our conjectures, or on the work itself, or on its author. Farewell. On the twenty-second day of July, in the year of the Dionysian era 1682.

(printed under page 462) (Expositio Bissexti, continued) ‹anchor: no call; Dodwell's note on the title, begun under page 461 in col 939's notes› · col 941 perperam adscriptus est hic titulus : Incipit Expositio Bissexti, anno Christi 243, scripto. Galeus, qui apographum cum codice Cottoniano contulit, ad ea verba perperam adscriptus, adnotat : Manu tamen coaeva, et litteris majusculis. Michael Seneschallus, in sua Triade Evangelica, seu Quaestione Triplici, de anno, mense et die Christi nati, baptizati et mortui, Leodii edita, anno 1669, quaest. 3, cap. 2, memorat, ex Godofredo Wendelino, a Sirmondo Rhemis repertum, et Bucherio transmissum anno 1648, vetus ms. hoc titulo praenotatum : Caecilii Cypriani de Pascha Compotus. Quem eumdem nos esse cum hoc tractatu conjecimus, propter haec verba quae inde citat, Jesus Christus Dominus et Salvator noster post annos 1579 (a primo Paschate Hebraeorum in Aegypto) cum discentibus suis manducavit Pascha sexto idus aprilis, feria quinta, et passus est altera die, sexta feria. Quae hic infra occurrunt, parum mutata : quod, nacti tandem apographum codicis Rhemensis, certo comperimus. Verum, hac unica inspecta periocha, Seneschallus inde opus hoc S. Cypriano abjudicat, tum quia nemo hactenus Sancto illi tale opus adscripsit, tum quia τὸ cum discentibus suis, longe abest a solito Cypriani nitore, tum quia non erat Cyprianus qui tam pingues errores admitteret contra artem quam explicandam suscepisset. Ego me vadem non spondeo. Sed, ad primum, si pseudepigraphus sit, at spurius certe non est et supposititius, sed antiquum esse liquet, et Cypriani aetate scriptum res ipsa docet : et, si Cypriano nemo adscripserit, neque cuiquam alio, quod sciam, adscripsit quispiam ; sed in bibliothecis latuit, necdum editus, et a paucis forte observatus. Neque verum est, quod nemo tale opus Cypriano adscripserit : nam Paulus Diaconus id facit in Vita Cypriani : Chronicam quoque valde utilem composuit. Ad secundum, vox discentibus in nostro codice non habetur, neque hic, neque alio loco ubi in Rhemensi codice comparet, sed, ejus loco, discipulis. Quidquod neque tam barbara censebatur, ea aetate, vox discentes, hoc sensu, qui eam aliquoties (quod monet reverendus episcopus Oxoniensis) usurpaverit Tertullianus (quem maxime imitatus est Cyprianus et veneratus, Magistrum appellare solitus, referente Pamelio in vita Cypriani), De Patientia, cap. III : Ille cui legiones Angelorum, si voluisset, uno dicto de coelis affuissent, ne unius quidem discentis gladium ultorem probavit; et de Praescript. cap. XXX : Adhuc in saeculo supersunt qui meminerint eorum, etiam proprii discentes et successores ipsorum, ne si posteriores negare possint. De Baptism. cap. II, Baptismus non exstat alius nisi postea Christi, qui tunc utique a discentibus dari non poterat. Nitorem vero quod spectat, non mirum est si scriptis alioqui genuinis, a librariis harum rerum imperitis, mendose descriptis, multum nitoris decedat. Ad tertium vero, quod erraverit assignando passioni Christi annum et diem qui rationibus astronomicis de aetate lunae repugnet ; non mirum est si Cypriano id contigerit ea aetate qua paucissimi erant, etiam ex sanctis Patribus, rerum astronomicarum ita periti quin labi possent. Pro Cypriano autem, haec saltem faciunt, tum quod codex ms. satis vetustus hunc auctorem perhibet, neque alius perhibetur quispiam ; tum quod vir cl. D. Gale peculiares aliquot phrasiologias hic observat quae apud Cyprianum occurrunt alibi ; tum denique quod monet reverendus episcopus Asaphensis Guilielmus LLoyd, harum rerum satis curiosus, cum plures fuerint sacrarum Scripturarum latinae versiones, eam exacte sequitur hic auctor qua et Cyprianus usus est. Neque tamen ille Cyprianum concludit hujus auctorem esse, eo quod, sub finem operis, computum suum terminet ad annum Gordiani quintum, Arriano et Papo consulibus ; qui annus est uno anno prior quam quo se Christianum professus est Cyprianus. Quod tamen fieri potest, cum historiarum et chronologiae scriptores, non semper ad eum ipsum annum rem perducunt quo ipsi scribunt, sed desinunt potius ad annum aliquanto superiorem. Quod hic minime mirum erit, si Pascha anni quinti Gordiani ultimum fuerit eo imperatore celebratum, ineunte (qui proximo anno secutus est) Philippo Arabe ante Pascha. Mirum potius esset si Cyprianus, alibi terrarum agens, consulum Romanorum meminerit eo ipso anno quo alibi scriberet. Sed et distincta illa, sub initium, Patris et Filii et Spiritus recordatio, passionis item et resurrectionis Christi die tertio, et salutis per eum consequendae ; et diserta agnitio gratiarum Spiritus sancti, pignoris instar collatarum, aliaque ejusmodi, satis redolent virum jam nuper ad Christianismum conversum, atque haec praecipua Christianismi capita volentem distincte proferre. Ego interim nihil statuo : neque tanti res est ut simus de auctore admodum solliciti.

…this title has been wrongly added: "Here begins the Exposition of the Bissextile", written in the year of Christ 243." Gale, who collated the transcript with the Cottonian codex, notes at the words "wrongly added": "Yet in a contemporary hand, and in capital letters." Michael Seneschallus, in his Trias Evangelica, or Threefold Question, on the year, month and day on which Christ was born, baptized and died, published at Liège in 1669, question 3, chapter 2, mentions, on the authority of Godfrey Wendelin, an old manuscript found at Reims by Sirmond and sent to Bucherius in 1648, headed with this title: "The Paschal Computus of Caecilius Cyprian". We conjectured that this is the same as the present treatise, because of these words which he quotes from it: "Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, after 1579 years" (from the first Passover of the Hebrews in Egypt), "ate the Passover with His learners on the sixth day before the Ides of April, on the fifth day of the week, and suffered on the next day, the sixth day of the week." These occur below, little altered; which we learned for certain when at length we obtained a transcript of the Reims codex. But, having looked at this single passage, Seneschallus thereupon denies this work to Saint Cyprian: first, because no one hitherto has ascribed such a work to that Saint; second, because the phrase "with His learners" is far removed from Cyprian's accustomed elegance; third, because Cyprian was not one to commit such gross errors against the art which he had undertaken to expound. I do not stand surety myself. But, to the first: if it be pseudepigraphal, it is certainly not spurious and supposititious; rather it is clear that it is ancient, and the thing itself shows that it was written in Cyprian's age; and if no one has ascribed it to Cyprian, neither, so far as I know, has anyone ascribed it to anyone else; but it lay hidden in libraries, not yet published, and perhaps noticed by few. Nor is it true that no one has ascribed such a work to Cyprian: for Paulus Diaconus does so in his Life of Cyprian: "He also composed a very useful Chronicle." To the second: the word discentibus ("learners") is not found in our codex, neither here nor in any other place where it appears in the Reims codex, but in its place discipulis ("disciples"). Moreover, the word discentes in this sense was not reckoned so barbarous in that age, since Tertullian used it several times (as the Reverend the Bishop of Oxford points out), Tertullian whom Cyprian most of all imitated and revered, being accustomed to call him "the Master", as Pamelius relates in the life of Cyprian: On Patience, chapter III: "He to whom legions of Angels, had He wished, would have come from heaven at a single word, did not approve the avenging sword of even one of His learners"; and Prescription, chapter XXX: "There still survive in the world those who remember them, even their own learners and successors, lest they should be able to deny that they were later"; On Baptism, chapter II: "There is no other baptism save that afterwards of Christ, which at that time certainly could not be given by the learners." As for elegance, it is no wonder if writings otherwise genuine, faultily copied by scribes unskilled in these matters, lose much of their elegance. And to the third, that he erred in assigning to the passion of Christ a year and day which conflicts with astronomical reckonings of the age of the moon: it is no wonder if this happened to Cyprian in an age when very few, even among the holy Fathers, were so skilled in astronomical matters as not to be liable to slip. In favour of Cyprian, however, these things at least tell: first, that a manuscript codex of fair age names this author, and no other is named; second, that the distinguished Dr Gale observes here several peculiar turns of phrase which occur elsewhere in Cyprian; and finally, what the Reverend the Bishop of St Asaph, William Lloyd, a man very curious in these matters, points out, that, although there were several Latin versions of the sacred Scriptures, this author follows exactly the one which Cyprian also used. Yet he does not conclude that Cyprian is the author of this work, because towards the end of the work he ends his computation at the fifth year of Gordian, in the consulship of Arrianus and Papus, which year is one year earlier than that in which Cyprian professed himself a Christian. This, however, can happen, since writers of histories and chronologies do not always carry the matter down to the very year in which they themselves write, but rather stop at a somewhat earlier year. Which will be least surprising here, if the Pasch of the fifth year of Gordian was the last celebrated under that emperor, Philip the Arab coming in (he followed the next year) before the Pasch. It would rather be surprising if Cyprian, living in another part of the world, mentioned the Roman consuls of the very year in which he was writing elsewhere. But also that distinct remembrance, near the beginning, of the Father and the Son and the Spirit, and likewise of Christ's passion and resurrection on the third day, and of the salvation to be obtained through Him; and the express acknowledgement of the graces of the Holy Spirit, conferred as a pledge, and other things of the kind, smack strongly of a man but lately converted to Christianity, and wishing to set forth distinctly these chief heads of Christianity. Meanwhile I determine nothing: nor is the matter of such moment that we should be greatly anxious about the author.

ourselves to so laborious a matter; in which matter, not forsaken, but rather inspired by God Himself, we wish to show to those who love and long for divine studies that Christians can never stray from the way of truth and, as if ignorant of what the day of the Pasch is, walk behind the blind and dull Jews. And since we evidently begin from God, [we wish] not only to show the first day, on which the lamb was slain in Egypt, but to demonstrate the days of the Pasch of the Jews and of the Christians, of past and of future time.

Incipiamus itaque, dilectissimi fratres, ab Exodi lectione: in qua lectione recognoscimus ipsum Deum et Dominum ad Moÿsen et Aaron fratrem ejus in terra Aegypti dixisse: « Mensis hic initium mensium primus erit vobis in mensibus anni. Fare ad omnem synagogam filiorum Israel, dicens: Decimo die mensis hujus accipiant sibi singuli per domos tribuum ovem per domum; et si exigui erunt in domo ut non sint sufficientes ad ovem, assumet secum vicinum proximum suum, per numerum animarum suarum, singuli quod sufficiet sibi, computabunt in ovem immaculatum, anniculum, perfectum, masculum, ab agnis ab haedis accipietis. Et erit vobis observatum usque ad quartum decimum diem mensis hujus, et occident eum omne vulgus Synagogae filiorum Israel ad vesperam; et accipient de sanguine, et ponent super duos postes et super limen in domibus, in quibus eum edent in ipsis: et edent carnes istas nocte assatas igni, azyma cum pigridis edent. Non edetis de eis crudum, neque coctum aqua, nisi assatum, caput

Let us begin, therefore, most beloved brethren, from the reading of Exodus: in which reading we recognize that God and Lord Himself said to Moses and Aaron his brother in the land of Egypt: « This month shall be for you the beginning of months, the first among the months of the year. Speak to the whole synagogue of the sons of Israel, saying: On the tenth day of this month let them take for themselves, each by the houses of the tribes, a sheep for each house; and if they are too few in a house, so that they are not sufficient for the sheep, he shall take with him his nearest neighbour, according to the number of their souls, each what will suffice for himself; they shall reckon towards a sheep unblemished, a yearling, perfect, male; you shall take it from the lambs, from the kids. And it shall be kept by you until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole multitude of the Synagogue of the sons of Israel shall slay it towards evening; and they shall take of the blood, and put it upon the two doorposts and upon the threshold in the houses in which they shall eat it, in them; and they shall eat this flesh at night roasted with fire; they shall eat unleavened bread with bitter herbs. You shall not eat of them raw, nor boiled in water, but only roasted, the head

PL 4:944

cum pedibus et interaneis, nihil derelinquetis ex eis in mane, et os non confringetis ab eo; quae autem relicta fuerint de eo usque in mane, igni cremabuntur, ex intestinis ejus vorabitis, post suam occisionem. Sic autem comedetis eum: lumbi vestri praecincti, et caligae vestrae in pedibus vestris, et bacula vestra in manibus vestris, et edetis illud festinanter; Pascha est enim Domini.»

with the feet and the entrails; you shall leave nothing of them until morning, and you shall not break a bone of it; but whatever is left of it until morning shall be burned with fire; you shall eat of its intestines after its slaughter. And thus you shall eat it: your loins girded, and your boots on your feet, and your staffs in your hands, and you shall eat it in haste; for it is the Passover of the Lord.”

Praecepit igitur Deus per Moysen universae synagogae filiorum Israel in mense novo, qui est initium mensium, primus in mensibus anni, in quo habitu ederent Pascha quartadecima luna, ad hoc utique, ut et suam divinitatem credentibus nobis in Christo manifestaret, et eorum latrocinium jam tunc ab initio saeculi demonstraret: et qui in Aegypto ad vesperam, id est in novissima saeculi tempora praecincti et calceati adversus Dei Agnum immaculatum, prima die Azymorum ad vesperam cum gladiis et fustibus exierunt; et universa quae ab omnibus Prophetis Dei praedicta fuerant, in cum commiserunt. Et ideo qui jam non secundum imaginem, sicut illi, sed secundum veritatem, in commemorationem Passionis Filii Dei, Pascha celebramus; nihil aliud in primis nisi mensem novum, quis sit, et unde incipiat, et ubi finiat, totis viribus fidei nostrae, diligenter requirere debemus. Et tunc inveniemus, nec ante, nec post XIV lunam inventam posse, ab ipsis Judaeis Pascha observari.

God therefore commanded through Moses the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, in the new month, which is the beginning of months, the first among the months of the year, in what attire they should eat the Passover on the fourteenth moon, to this end assuredly, that He might both manifest His divinity to us who believe in Christ, and show their brigandage even then from the beginning of the age: and they who in Egypt at evening, that is, in the last times of the age, girded and shod, went out against the spotless Lamb of God on the first day of Unleavened Bread at evening with swords and clubs; and all the things that had been foretold by all the Prophets of God, they committed against Him. And therefore we who now celebrate the Passover not according to the figure, as they did, but according to the truth, in commemoration of the Passion of the Son of God, must first of all search out diligently, with all the strength of our faith, nothing other than the new month: what it is, and where it begins, and where it ends. And then we shall find that the Passover cannot be observed by the Jews themselves either before or after the fourteenth moon once it is found.

Quod ipsum quidem evidenter incipiat nobis ostendere sancta et divina Geneseos Scriptura, dicens: «In principio fecit Deus coelum et terram. Terra

And this very thing the holy and divine Scripture of Genesis plainly begins to show us, saying: “In the beginning God made heaven and earth. The earth

autem erat invisibilis et incomposita, et tenebrae erant super abyssum, et Spiritus Dei superferebatur super aquas. Et dixit Deus: Fiat lux; et facta est lux, et vidit Deus lucem quia bona est. Et divisit Deus inter lucem et inter tenebras. Et vocavit Deus lucem diem, et tenebras vocavit noctem. Et facta est vespera et factum est mane dies unus. »

but was invisible and unformed, and darkness was over the abyss, and the Spirit of God was borne over the waters. And God said: Let there be light; and light was made, and God saw the light, that it is good. And God divided between the light and between the darkness. And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And evening was made and morning was made, one day."

Referendo igitur et insinuando nobis sancta Scriptura ipsum Dominum divisisse inter lucem et inter tenebras, id est inter diem et noctem, evidenter ostendit hunc esse primum diem et sequentem ejus noctem; inter quos omnium artifex aequaliter, hoc est irreprehensibiliter divisit.

Holy Scripture, therefore, by reporting and intimating to us that the Lord Himself divided between the light and between the darkness, that is, between the day and the night, clearly shows that this is the first day and its following night; between which the craftsman of all things divided equally, that is, irreproachably.

HENRICI DODWELLI NOTAE.

NOTES OF HENRY DODWELL.

(Qui nunc comprehenditur esse) ‹anchor: lemma; no call› · cols 945–946 Qui nunc comprehenditur esse. W. Codex C. totam hanc periocham multo aliter habet, et calculum plane (aliorum) alium: In hunc (lego Is nunc) comprehenditur esse XI kal. apr. A quo die putantes (lego computantes) aliqui ex nobis qui prioris (lego priores) voluerunt hunc mensem novum ostendere. Dixerunt enim eumdem mensem ab VIII id. martii incipere, et in die non. april. consummare: Hac (lego Ac) propterea ipsos dies XXIX. Revertamur ad Genesin, etc. Duas itaque opiniones rejicit hic auctor, quaerenrentium (ante illum) initium primi mensis: alteram in codice R, quam, ut prolixius expositam, in textum recipimus; alteram in codice C, quam in notis exhibemus. Illi quos notat codex R existimasse videntur lunam cum sole quarto mundi die creatam, quasi quartamdecimam; ut fuerit, eo exeunte, et ineunte die secundo, plenilunium, quam vocant lunam quintamdecimam, et quidem in ipso aequinoctio; adeoque, die primo, fuerit undecima: et propterea, annum mundi reputantes incipere a die primo, triginta dies, quibus mensem plenum constare volunt, in duas partes distribuebant, dierum XI et dierum XIX: ut, finito anni lunaris mense duodecimo (hoc est diebus CCCLIV), foret, pro novilunio primi mensis (in anno solari communi, qui XI diebus longior est quam communis lunaris) vel repedandum diebus XI; vel, facto embolismo mensis decimi tertii dierum XXX, procedendum diebus XIX. Quam distributionem dierum XXX, auctor hic non improbat, sed improbat quem ipsi fecerant delectum diei in anno solari, quo mundum die primo, adeoque lunam fuisse conditam die quarto, autumabant. Reputabant enim diem illum primum, quo mundus crearetur, VIII kal. aprilis, hoc est martii diem XXV, quo die ut luna foret undecima, mensem quasi incoepisse reputabant ab idibus martii, hoc est martii die XV, adeoque, cum fuerit dierum XXX, idibus aprilis, qui est aprilis dies XIII, terminari, adeoque lunam decimam quartam, V kl. apr., hoc est martii die XXVIII, quo crearetur luna. Illi vero quos notat codex C, primum illum mundi diem reputabant XI kl. april., hoc est martii diem XXII: mensemque illum primum dierum XXIX, incoepisse quidem VIII id. martii, hoc est martii die VIII; et terminari ipsis nonis aprilis, hoc est aprilis die V: ut decimaquarta fuerit luna, XII kl. apr., hoc est martii die XXI; fueritque primus ille mundi dies plenilunium, seu luna decima quinta. Et quidem cum his sentire videtur codex C in paragrapho Posthaec enim breviter dicam (qui hic in notis sequitur), ubi dicitur Hebraeos numquam fecisse Pascha ante XII kl. aprilis, quod eo die luna nata VIII id. martii decima quarta fuerit. Quamquam ne hic sibi constans est codex ille, quippe mox dicit, lunam, quarta feria, in aequinoctium, VIII kl. apr. decimamquintam factam esse, quod proprius accedit ad priorem opinionem dicentium lunam eo die factam quartamdecimam. Sed codex R, et quidem codex C, in sequentibus, rejicit etiam hanc opinionem, assignando primum diem quo Pascha celebrari possit (luna decimaquarta) XVI kl. aprilis, hoc est martii diem XVII; cujus itaque novilunium, seu prima luna, fuerit IV non. martii, qui est martii dies IV. Quam opinionem in sequentibus statuminare satagit: ut dubium non sit codicem C ibidem depravatum esse.

"Qui nunc comprehenditur esse." W.: Codex C. has this whole passage very differently, and a reckoning plainly different (from the others): "In hunc (I read Is nunc) comprehenditur esse XI kal. apr. A quo die putantes (I read computantes) aliqui ex nobis qui prioris (I read priores) voluerunt hunc mensem novum ostendere. Dixerunt enim eumdem mensem ab VIII id. martii incipere, et in die non. april. consummare: Hac (I read Ac) propterea ipsos dies XXIX. Revertamur ad Genesin," etc. So this author rejects two opinions of those who (before him) sought the beginning of the first month: one in codex R, which, being set out more fully, we take into the text; the other in codex C, which we give in the notes. Those whom codex R censures seem to have thought that the moon was created with the sun on the fourth day of the world as if fourteen days old, so that at the close of that day and the beginning of the second [sic] there was full moon, which they call the fifteenth moon, and that in the very equinox; and so, on the first day, it would have been the eleventh. And therefore, reckoning that the year of the world began from the first day, they divided the thirty days of which they hold a full month to consist into two parts, of 11 days and of 19 days: so that, at the end of the twelfth month of the lunar year (that is, after 354 days), for the new moon of the first month (in a common solar year, which is 11 days longer than a common lunar one) one must either step back 11 days, or, having made an intercalation of a thirteenth month of 30 days, go forward 19 days. This distribution of the 30 days our author does not reject; but he rejects their choice of the day in the solar year on which they supposed the world was founded on the first day, and so the moon on the fourth. For they reckoned that first day on which the world was created to be the eighth before the Kalends of April, that is 25 March; and so that on that day the moon should be eleven days old, they reckoned the month to have begun, as it were, on the Ides of March, that is 15 March, and so, being of 30 days, to end on the Ides of April, which is 13 April; and so the fourteenth moon fell on the fifth before the Kalends of April, that is 28 March, when the moon was created. But those whom codex C censures reckoned that first day of the world to be the eleventh before the Kalends of April, that is 22 March, and that first month, of 29 days, to have begun on the eighth before the Ides of March, that is 8 March, and to end on the Nones of April itself, that is 5 April: so that the fourteenth moon fell on the twelfth before the Kalends of April, that is 21 March, and that first day of the world was full moon, or the fifteenth moon. And indeed codex C seems to agree with these in the paragraph "Posthaec enim breviter dicam" (which follows here in the notes), where it is said that the Hebrews never kept the Pasch before the twelfth before the Kalends of April, because on that day the moon born on the eighth before the Ides of March was fourteen days old. Yet even here that codex is not consistent with itself, for it soon says that the moon, on the fourth weekday, at the equinox, the eighth before the Kalends of April, was made fifteen days old, which comes nearer to the former opinion of those who said the moon was made fourteen days old on that day. But codex R, and indeed codex C in what follows, rejects this opinion too, assigning as the first day on which the Pasch can be kept (on the fourteenth moon) the sixteenth before the Kalends of April, that is 17 March, whose new moon, or first moon, would thus be the fourth before the Nones of March, which is 4 March. This opinion he busies himself to establish in what follows: so that there is no doubt that codex C is corrupt at that place.

recte diviserint in XI et XIX : undecim scilicet in communi anno retrorsum computantes, et ad idus martii pervenientes, decem et novem in priorem illum annum quo embolismus incurrit immittentes, et usque ad idus april. devenientes. In hoc erraverunt, ut dixi, cum vere primum diem novi mensis comprehendere non potuerunt. Quae res sic modo vere ostensa demonstrabitur, cum in ipso Pinace a nobis composito, nullus annus fallere invenietur.

they rightly divided into 11 and 19: that is, counting eleven backwards in the common year and arriving at the Ides of March, putting nineteen into that former year in which the embolism falls, and coming as far as the Ides of April. In this they erred, as I said, since they could not truly grasp the first day of the new month. This matter, truly shown in this way, will now be demonstrated, since in the very Table composed by us no year will be found to be in error.

Volentes igitur hunc mensem vero ostendere, unde incipiat et ubi finiat, revertamur ad Genesim, quae retulit nobis ipsum Deum divisisse inter primum diem et primam noctem. Unde recognoscimus, et inter secundum et inter tertium diem et noctem, neminem alium nisi ipsum Deum divisisse, et sic a quarta die hoc officium soli et lunae injunxisse. Ipsa sunt enim duo luminaria majora, de quibus ait Deus : « Fiant luminaria in firmamento coeli sicut appareant super terram, et dividant inter diem et noctem; et sint in signis, in temporibus,

Wishing therefore to show this month truly, where it begins and where it ends, let us return to Genesis, which has related to us that God Himself divided between the first day and the first night. Whence we recognize that between the second and between the third day and night also no other than God Himself divided, and that thus from the fourth day He enjoined this office on the sun and the moon. For these are the two greater lights, of which God says: "Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven so that they may appear over the earth, and let them divide between day and night; and let them be for signs, for times,

Et fecit Deus duo luminaria majora, luminare majus, initium diei; et luminare minus, initium noctis, » etc. Haec sunt autem duo luminaria, quae non tantum hoc officium acceperunt, ut dividant inter diem et noctem; sed et ut sint in signis et in temporibus et in diebus et in annis.

and in days, and in years; and let them be for brightness in the firmament of heaven, so that they may give light upon the earth. And so it was done. And God made two greater lights, the greater light, the beginning of the day; and the lesser light, the beginning of the night," etc. Now these are the two lights which received not only this office, that they should divide between day and night, but also that they should be for signs and for times and for days and for years.

Propter hoc ergo Hebraei tunc qui digni fuerunt, Spiritu Dei edocti, singulos quoque annos secundum lunae cursum computaverunt. Et, ut ad cursum solis occurrerent inter sexdecim annos, mensis primi dies XXX, in duas partes, non aequaliter sed secundum rationem diviserunt; sicut superius diximus nostros antecessores quidem, secundum Hebraeos, recte divisisse in XI et XIX; diem autem primum mensis primi non comprehendisse et ideo errasse. Qui dies primus novi mensis secundum cursum lunae duodecies decrescentis recognoscitur XVI kl. april. In quo talis, eadem hora, inventa est luna, qualis ante annum fuit V kl. april. facta. Cujus anni dies Hebraei numerant CCCLIV usque in XVII kl. aprilis. Qui autem secundum cursum solis computant, post undecim dies et quartam diei, VI kl. april. suppletis diebus CCCLXV et quarta diei, annum consummasse inveniunt, et sic primum diem novi mensis venturi V kl. april.

For this reason, then, the Hebrews who were worthy at that time, taught by the Spirit of God, also reckoned each year according to the course of the moon. And, so that they might meet the course of the sun within sixteen years, they divided the thirty days of the first month into two parts, not equally but according to a reckoning; just as we said above that our predecessors had indeed, following the Hebrews, rightly divided [them] into 11 and 19, but had not included the first day of the first month and had therefore erred. This first day of the new month, according to the course of the moon waning twelve times, is recognized as the sixteenth day before the Kalends of April. On it, at the same hour, the moon was found to be such as it had been made a year before on the fifth day before the Kalends of April. The days of this year the Hebrews count as 354, up to the seventeenth day before the Kalends of April. But those who reckon according to the course of the sun find that, after eleven days and a quarter of a day, on the sixth day before the Kalends of April, when 365 days and a quarter of a day have been completed, the year has been finished, and so the first day of the new month to come, on the fifth day before the Kalends of April,

ostendunt. Ac propterea quatuor quadrantes quadriennii in unum diem redigentes, quinto quoque anno, non V kl. apr., sed V kl. mart. immittunt, ne primo diei mensis novi superventuri integrum diem immittant, et hunc totum ordinem quem Hebraei priores, et ante ipsam Romam conditam, certa ratione assecuti sunt, subvertant. Annus igitur Hebraeorum, in XII menses divisus facit mensem XXIX S.; similiter et Romanorum in duodecim quoque partibus, facit mensem XXX S. Ergo inter XXIX S. et XXX S. interest quae intelliguntur esse horae XI et quarta horae. In quibus XI horis et quarta horae prior ambulavit sol quando factus est initium diei. Sic autem et luna initium noctis fieri repromissa, non oportuit eam post occasum solis fieri, et sic in coelo videri, quoniam debebat a prima die videri et prosequi, cum quo tam magnum officium fuerat adepta. Hoc est igitur quod per singulos menses, reparata quintadecima luna, proceditur a sole. Et ideo per annum plus ambulare invenitur sol XI dies et quartam partem diei. Et sic luna quae quarta feria V kl. apr. quintadecima fuerat facta, inventa est suppleto primo anno XXVI qu. V kl. apr. Item secundo anno, adjectis XI diebus et qu. inventa est VII S., V kl. apr. Tertio anno XVIII dod. V kl. April. Quarto anno XXX, V kl. apr. Quinto anno XI qu. Sexto anno XXII S. Septimo anno III dod. Octavo autem anno

they show. And therefore, gathering the four quarters of the four-year period into one day, every fifth year they insert it not on the fifth day before the Kalends of April but on the fifth day before the Kalends of March, so that they may not insert a whole day on the first day of the new month that is about to come, and overturn this whole order which the Hebrews of old, even before Rome itself was founded, attained by a sure reckoning. The year of the Hebrews, then, divided into 12 months, makes a month of 29 and a half [days]; likewise that of the Romans too, in twelve parts, makes a month of 30 and a half. Therefore between 29 and a half and 30 and a half there is a difference, which is understood to be 11 hours and a quarter of an hour. By these 11 hours and a quarter of an hour the sun went ahead when it was made the beginning of the day. But the moon too, being promised that it would be made the beginning of the night, ought not to have been made after the setting of the sun and so be seen in the sky, since it ought to have been seen from the first day and to follow along with that with which it had received so great an office. This, then, is why in each month, when the fifteenth moon is restored, the sun gets ahead. And therefore over the year the sun is found to go ahead by 11 days and a quarter of a day. And thus the moon, which on the fourth weekday, the fifth day before the Kalends of April, had become the fifteenth, was found, when the first year was completed, to be 26 and a quarter on the fifth day before the Kalends of April. Likewise in the second year, 11 days and a quarter being added, it was found to be 7 and a half on the fifth day before the Kalends of April. In the third year 18 and three-quarters on the fifth day before the Kalends of April. In the fourth year 30, on the fifth day before the Kalends of April. In the fifth year 11 and a quarter. In the sixth year 22 and a half. In the seventh year 3 and three-quarters. But in the eighth year

NOTES OF HENRY DODWELL.

(Propter hoc) ‹anchor: lemma "Propter hoc"; no call› · cols 947–948 Propter hoc. W. Hanc item periocham multo aliter habet codex C, atque ad VIII kl. apr. id accommodat, quod codex R. ad V kl. apr. Nempe sic, Posthaec enim breviter dicam; quod Hebraei tunc qui digni fuerunt, Spiritu Dei edocti singulos quoque annos secundum cursum lunae (supple computaverunt), numquam fecerunt Pascha ante XII kal. apr. Quae luna nata in VIII id. mart, XIV est in XI (lege XII) kal. apr. Cum quo tam magnum officium fuerat adepta. Hoc est itaque quod per singulos menses reparata XV luna praecidetur (lege proceditur) a sole; et ideo per annum plus ambulare invenitur sol XI dies et quartam partem diei. Et sic luna quae in quarta feria in aequinoctium, VIII kal. apr. XV fuerat facta, inventa est, suppleto primo anno XXVI, VIII kal. apr. Idem (lege Item) secundo anno, subtractis decem et novem inventa est VII. Tertio anno XVIII. Quarto XXX. Quinto XI. Sexto XXII. Septimo III. Octavo autem anno inventa est XV, qualis in principio in firmamentum coeli fuerat posita VIII kal. apr. IV feria. De quibus sic adnotat Galaeus: Posthaec enim omnia breviter dicam, quod numquam factum est Pascha apud Judaeos ante XII kal. apr. quae luna nata in VIII id. mart., XIV est in XI (lege XII, kal. apr. Obs. Haec ex disputatione Murini episcopi Alexandrini de Ratione Paschali. Quis sit Murinus, nescio. Simul cum hoc scriptore (Cypriano) habetur in codice Cottoniano, et manu plane eadem exaratur. Laudat Josephum qui primus conscripsit circulum X et IX annorum, Anastasium, Theophilum, Cyrillum, Dionysium exiguum, et Victorinum qui scripsit Hilaro papae, urbis Romae episcopo.

"Propter hoc." W.: Codex C likewise has this passage very differently, and fits to the eighth before the Kalends of April what codex R fits to the fifth. Thus: "For after this I will say briefly that the Hebrews of that time who were worthy, taught by the Spirit of God, (supply: reckoned) each year by the course of the moon, and never kept the Pasch before the twelfth before the Kalends of April. The moon born on the eighth before the Ides of March is fourteen on the eleventh (read twelfth) before the Kalends of April, with which it had received so great an office. This then is why, renewed each month, the fifteenth moon praecidetur (read proceditur) by the sun; and so over the year the sun is found to go ahead by eleven days and a quarter of a day. And so the moon, which on the fourth weekday, at the equinox, the eighth before the Kalends of April, had been made fifteen, was found at the end of the first year to be twenty-six on the eighth before the Kalends of April. Idem (read Item) in the second year, nineteen being subtracted, it was found to be seven. In the third year eighteen. In the fourth thirty. In the fifth eleven. In the sixth twenty-two. In the seventh three. But in the eighth year it was found to be fifteen, as it had been set in the firmament of heaven in the beginning, on the eighth before the Kalends of April, the fourth weekday." On which Gale notes thus: "For after all this I will say briefly that the Pasch was never kept among the Jews before the twelfth before the Kalends of April; the moon born on the eighth before the Ides of March is fourteen on the eleventh (read the twelfth) before the Kalends of April." Observe: This is from the disputation of Murinus, bishop of Alexandria, On the Paschal Reckoning. Who Murinus is I do not know. It is found together with this writer (Cyprian) in the Cottonian codex, and is written in plainly the same hand.

"Facit mensem, XXIX." W.: I supply the S., the sign for a half, which seems to have dropped out, and likewise just after XXX; for 354 divided by 12 gives 29 and a half; and likewise 365 and a quarter divided by 12 gives very nearly 30 and a half: so that the month of the Hebrews was of 29 and a half days, and the month of the Romans of about 30 and a half days; so that one should read "XXIX S," likewise "XXX S"; and shortly after, "Ergo inter XXIX S et XXX S," etc.

it was found to be the fifteenth, on the fifth day before the Kalends of April, just as it had been made in the beginning.

Hac itaque ratione non sua sed Dei sapientia instructi, Hebraei circa cursum lunarem, juxta regulam primam Graecorum, more Aegyptiorum, et non secundum epactas lunares, non potuerunt errare. Et ideo, quando primum in Aegypto, pridie iduum apriliarum, secunda feria, XIV luna, immolaverunt Pascha; suppleto primo anno, iterum non potuerunt II id. apr. celebrare Pascha, quoniam non XIVa, sed XXVa ab eis inventa est luna. Itaque quaerentes XIV, necesse habebant immissis XVIII diebus II kl. maii invenire XIV lunam. Sed, ne secundo mense inciperent agere Pascha, et non primo mense, qui est a XVI kl. april. usque in XVII kl. maias, de XXV diebus lunae retrorsum computantes, id est XI dies ipsius lunae deducentes, invenerunt, XIV luna et sexta feria, kl. apr., qui fuit annus communis et primus. Secundo anno item communi,

Instructed therefore in this reckoning, not by their own wisdom but by the wisdom of God, the Hebrews could not err concerning the course of the moon, following the first rule of the Greeks, after the manner of the Egyptians, and not according to the lunar epacts. And therefore, when they first sacrificed the Passover in Egypt on the day before the Ides of April, on the second weekday, on the fourteenth moon, then, when the first year had been completed, they could not again celebrate the Passover on the second day before the Ides of April, because the moon was found by them to be not the fourteenth but the twenty-fifth. Seeking the fourteenth, therefore, they would have had to insert eighteen days and find the fourteenth moon on the second day before the Kalends of May. But, lest they should begin to keep the Passover in the second month and not in the first month, which runs from the sixteenth day before the Kalends of April to the seventeenth before the Kalends of May, they reckoned backwards from the twenty-five days of the moon, that is, they deducted eleven days of that same moon, and found the fourteenth moon and the sixth weekday on the Kalends of April, which was a common year and the first. In the second year, likewise a common one,

Codex R. habet XVIIII, ideo forte quia mensis embolimaeus dierum XXX solet esse, adeoque prorsum sumendi dies XIX; sed non ita primus mensis novi anni, quod librario forte in causa fuerit cur XVIIII pro XVIII hic poneret, ut alibi fieri solet ubi est embolismus: sed omnino legendum XVIII, cum codice C. Nam dies XIX, post pridie id. april. immissi extenderent, non ad prid. kal., sed ad ipsas kal. maii, quod itaque substituendum hic erit, si illic retineatur XIX. Similiter cum codex C. immissis diebus XVIII, habet III kal. maii, legendum II kal. vel pridie. kal.

"Immissis XVIII diebus, II kal. maii." W.: Codex R. has XVIIII, perhaps because the intercalary month is usually of 30 days, and so 19 days are to be taken forward; but not so the first month of the new year, which may have been the reason the scribe put XVIIII for XVIII here, as is usually done elsewhere where there is an intercalation. But XVIII must certainly be read, with codex C. For 19 days added after the day before the Ides of April would reach not to the day before the Kalends, but to the Kalends of May themselves, which would therefore have to be substituted here if XIX were kept there. Likewise, since codex C., with 18 days added, has "III kal. maii," one should read "II kal." or "pridie kal."

(Sed ne secundo mense) ‹anchor: lemma; no call› · cols 949–950 Sed ne secundo mense. W. Codex C. habet, Sed ne secundo mense inciperent agere Pascha (suppleo non antrorsum) sed retrorsum computantes, id est dies ipsius lunae deducentes, invenerunt XIV luna et sexta feria kal. apr. Quae satis clara sunt, et quantum dictu sufficit. Sed codex R. interpolatione forte facta, rem fusius, sic habet: Sed ne secundo mense inciperent agere Pascha, et non primo mense, qui est a XIII kal. maias, de XXV diebus lunae (quot nempe habuit prid. id. apr.) retrorsum computantes, id est undecim dies ipsius lunae deducentes, invenerunt XIV dec. (illud dec. redundat) et sexta feria, ipsis kal. apr. Quae constare non possunt; nam a XIII kal. apr. ad XVII kal. maii non sunt (ne quidem inclusis utrisque extremis) nisi dies XVII. Sed omnino legendum est a XVI kal. apr.

"Sed ne secundo mense." W.: Codex C. has: "But lest they should begin to keep the Pasch in the second month, (I supply: not forward) but reckoning backward, that is, subtracting the days of the moon itself, they found the fourteenth moon and the sixth weekday on the Kalends of April." This is clear enough, and as much as needs saying. But codex R., perhaps by an interpolation, has the matter more diffusely thus: "But lest they should begin to keep the Pasch in the second month and not in the first month, which runs from the thirteenth before the Kalends of May, from the 25 days of the moon (as many as it had on the day before the Ides of April) reckoning backward, that is, subtracting eleven days of the moon itself, they found the fourteenth 'dec.' (that 'dec.' is redundant) and the sixth weekday, on the Kalends of April themselves." This cannot stand; for from the thirteenth before the Kalends of April to the seventeenth before the Kalends of May there are (even counting both ends) only 17 days. But one must certainly read "from the sixteenth before the Kalends of April."

(Primo enim tempore) ‹anchor: lemma; no call› · col 950 Primo enim tempore. Locum hunc, qui in codice C. plane deest, in R. mancus est; utcumque supplevi. Sensus hic est: Cum annus solaris dierum 365, cum quadrante, superet communem lunarem dierum 354, diebus 11 cum quadrante; in solari primo communi, dierum 365, deest quadrans diei; anno secundo, propter similem defectum, deerit semissis; in tertio, dodrans; qui, cum simili quadrante, in anno quarto, complet assem, hoc est diem integrum; qui itaque anno illi quarto insertus, annum facit, bissextilem dictum, dierum 366; propter VI kal. martii bis positum. Quo fit, ut V kal. martii, singulique hunc diem sequentes, uno die serius contingant quam si illa non facta fuerit intercalatio. Quapropter, quae pro communi anno lunari, facienda erat, in communi anno solari, repedatio dierum XI, jam facienda est, anno bissextili, dierum XII, propter annum solarem jam XII diebus excurrentem: contra vero, promotio pro anno embolimaeo, alias dierum XIX, jam facienda erit dierum XVIII.

"Primo enim tempore." This passage, which is wholly lacking in codex C., is defective in R.; I have supplied it as best I could. The sense is this: since the solar year of 365 days and a quarter exceeds the common lunar year of 354 days by 11 days and a quarter, in the first common solar year, of 365 days, a quarter of a day is lacking; in the second year, by a like shortfall, a half will be lacking; in the third, three-quarters; which, with a like quarter in the fourth year, makes up a whole, that is, an entire day; which, inserted therefore in that fourth year, makes the year called bissextile, of 366 days, from the sixth before the Kalends of March being set twice. Whence it comes that the fifth before the Kalends of March, and each day following it, falls one day later than if that intercalation had not been made. Therefore the stepping back which, for a common lunar year, had to be made of 11 days in a common solar year, must now in a bissextile year be made of 12 days, because the solar year now runs 12 days beyond; whereas, on the other hand, the advance for an intercalary year, otherwise of 19 days, will now have to be made of 18 days.

on the 12th day before the Kalends of April, on the third feria. In the third year, however, they did not count backwards, so that they would not go beyond the 16th day before the Kalends of April, which is the first day of the first month, and fall into the twelfth month of the past year, and they reckoned otherwise. For this was the year in which they had to insert not 19 days but, one being deducted, 18. And what this one day is that is deducted from the 19, we shall say by the grace of God. For at the first time, when the Pasch was observed in Egypt, there was owing in that very year a quarter; in the first year following it became a half; when the second year was added it became three-quarters; and in the third year it became a whole: the third year, therefore, in the Table, in which the bissextile and the embolism are now found. In this year the Pasch is shown to have fallen on the fourteenth moon, on the 6th day before the Ides of April and on the second feria. In the fourth year, a common one, on the 5th day before the Kalends of April, on the sixth feria. Likewise in the fifth year, a common one, on the fourteenth moon, on the 16th day before the Kalends of April, on the third feria. In the sixth year, an embolismic one, on the Nones of April, on the second feria. In the seventh year, a bissextile one, on the 9th day before the Kalends of April, on the sixth feria.

the Ides of April, on the fifth weekday. See therefore, as we computed above, that after eight years, on the fifth day before the Kalends of April, the fifteenth from the moon was found again. So after eight years, on the day before the Ides of April, the fourteenth moon was found, and the weekday was found to be not the second, as before, but the fifth. And therefore we show, in the same table, that the fourteenth moon returns to its first day not through eight years but through sixteen years; and in it we have marked, for those who do not know, the bissextile years according to the course of the sun, without error. And it too, when sixteen years are completed, although [it comes] to its fixed day. once an embolism has been inserted, then the fourteenth moon occurs, yet it does not occur on the second weekday, but on the first. So likewise the second sixteen-year cycle, when completed, occurs on the seventh weekday. The third, indeed, on the sixth weekday. The fourth, moreover, on the fifth weekday. The fifth sixteen-year cycle, on the fourth weekday. The sixth sixteen-year cycle, on the fourth weekday. But the seventh, when it has completed the years

NOTES OF HENRY DODWELL.

(Superius computavimus) ‹anchor: lemma; no call› · col 951 Superius computavimus. Usserius, pro computavimus, substituendum innuit compotavimus (et sic aliquoties), et quidem ea aetate, compotus et compotista, etc. dici solebant pro computus, computista, etc.

"Superius computavimus." Ussher indicates that "compotavimus" should be substituted for "computavimus" (and so several times); and indeed in that age "compotus" and "compotista," etc., were commonly said for "computus," "computista," etc.

(Et ideo) ‹anchor: lemma; no call› · cols 951–952 Et ideo. Poterat, secundum hanc hypothesin, pinacem instituisse per octonos annos, quoniam in annis octo luna XIV redit ad eumdem calendarii diem, licet non eamdem feriam, et ne quidem post annos sedecim ad eamdem feriam redit: sed maluit per sedecim annos computare (sedecennitatem vocat; mallem, sedecennium); ideo forsan quia, post sedecim annos, ad feriam proxime antecedentem redit, quod post octo annos non fit: pinacem ipsum, qui perierat, hic restituimus ad auctoris mentem.

"Et ideo." On this hypothesis he could have set up the table by periods of eight years, since in eight years the fourteenth moon returns to the same day of the calendar, though not to the same weekday; and not even after sixteen years does it return to the same weekday. But he preferred to reckon by sixteen years (he calls it "sedecennitas"; I would prefer "sedecennium"), perhaps because after sixteen years it returns to the weekday immediately preceding, which does not happen after eight years. The table itself, which had been lost, we restore here according to the author's intention.

Table: the Pasch on the fourteenth moon. First column: the year of the sixteen-year cycle (Beginning in Egypt; common, bissextile, embolismic [intercalary] years 1–16); second: the calendar date of the fourteenth moon (e.g. "II id. Apr." = 12 April; "kal. Apr." = 1 April; "XII kl. Apr." = 21 March; "non. Apr." = 5 April); then the weekday (feria) on which it falls in each of the seven successive sixteen-year cycles (Sedecennitas I–VII). Side note: The Lord's day next following is the Pasch of the Christians.

112, it returns to the 2nd [day before] the Ides of April, and the moon is found [to be] the 14th, and the weekday the second.

Hi ergo sunt anni CXII in quibus gyrantes, et a primo die Paschae observato in Aegypto annos computantes, usque ad Christum pervenimus, et diem passionis et resurrectionis ejus ostendimus.

These, then, are the 112 years, revolving through which, and counting the years from the first day of the Passover observed in Egypt, we arrive at Christ, and we show the day of His passion and resurrection.

First, however, we must set out the remaining eight years of the table, for we have computed as far as the eighth. So in the ninth year, a common one, the 14th moon and the second weekday fall on the Kalends of April. Likewise, in the tenth year, a common one, the 12th [day before] the Kalends of April, the sixth weekday. In the eleventh year, bissextile and embolismic, the 6th [day before] the Ides of April, the fifth weekday. In the twelfth year, a common one, the 5th [day before] the Kalends of April, the second weekday. In the thirteenth year, likewise a common one, the 16th [day before] the Kalends of April, the sixth weekday. In the fourteenth year, embolismic, the Nones of April, the fifth weekday. In the fifteenth year, bissextile and common, the 14th [day before] the Kalends of April, the second weekday.

Sextodecimo anno, facto embolismo, inventa est iterum ad caput, id est in primo versu, luna XIV, et prima feria, pridie id. April. in quo die diximus Judaeos in Aegypto primum observasse Pascha.

In the sixteenth year, an embolism having been made, the fourteenth moon was found again at the head, that is, in the first line, together with the first weekday, on the day before the Ides of April, on which day we said the Jews in Egypt first observed the Passover.

Unde usque ad Jesum filium Nave, annis XLI suppletis, immolaverunt filii Israel Pascha kal. Apr. sabbato. Ezechias autem ab exitu ex Aegypto usque in primum annum regni sui, post annos DCCCLXVII, celebravit Pascha VI id. apr. IV feria. Item Josias duodevicesimo anno regni sui, post annos DCCCCLXX immolavit Pascha XII kal. aprilis, feria II. Esdras autem eo tempore quo suppletae sunt septem hebdomadae, a templo restituto et perfecto et restituta civitate Hierusalem, post annos Ī CXIV, sacrificavit Pascha XII kal. apr. sabbato. Sed et ipse Jesus Dominus et Salvator noster, post annos Ī DLXXIII cum discipulis suis manducavit Pascha VI id. april. V feria: et passus est altera die, V id. april. VI feria.

From there up to Jesus the son of Nave, when 41 years had been completed, the sons of Israel sacrificed the Passover on the Kalends of April, on the sabbath. Hezekiah, moreover, after 867 years from the departure out of Egypt up to the first year of his reign, celebrated the Passover on the sixth day before the Ides of April, on the fourth weekday. Likewise Josiah, in the eighteenth year of his reign, after 970 years, sacrificed the Passover on the twelfth day before the Kalends of April, on the second weekday. Ezra, moreover, at the time when the seven weeks were completed, from the temple restored and finished and the city of Jerusalem restored, after 1114 years, sacrificed the Passover on the twelfth day before the Kalends of April, on the sabbath. But Jesus Himself also, our Lord and Saviour, after 1573 years, ate the Passover with His disciples on the sixth day before the Ides of April, on the fifth weekday; and He suffered on the following day, the fifth day before the Ides of April, on the sixth weekday.

For he counts, as appears below, from the Exodus to the captivity of Jeconiah 995 years; thence to the edict of Cyrus 70 years; thence to the end of the seven weeks 49; which make 1114.

Estque locus hic, sed depravatus, quem citat, ex Bucherio, Seneschallus: qui confirmat calculi correctionem, quam ante posueram. Nempe Usserius jam ante, pro Ī DLXXIV (ubi V exciderat), restituerat 1579, quod ex annorum omnium computatione, infra sequente, faciendum constat: indeque ex pinace, diem restitueram, ut vides. Quam correctionem confirmat codex R.

"Pascha VI." That is, after 14 tables, in year 11 of the next. And this is the passage, though corrupted, which Seneschal quotes from Boucher; it confirms the correction of the reckoning which I had made before. For Ussher had already restored 1579 in place of Ī DLXXIV (where a V had dropped out), which, from the computation of all the years following below, is clearly what must be done; and from that I had restored the day from the table, as you see. Codex R confirms this correction.

(Suos CCCXVIII) ‹anchor: lemma; no call› · col 954 Suos CCCXVIII. Locus hic in utroque codice mancus est, adeoque obscurus; sed ad hunc sensum restituendum esse, ex sequentibus liquet; nempe cum Abraham adversarios expugnavit et liberavit amicos (Gen. XIV), numeravit vernaculos, hoc est famulos suos CCCXVIII. Quo contineri sentit hic auctor haec mysteria prophetica; nimirum, per C centenarii notam, signari, Abrahae centenario natum iri filium Isaac; quam litteram triplicavit (CCC) pro centenariis tribus prout tribus diebus iter fecit immolandus Isaac (Christi typus), qui et gestavit lignum, id est crucis signum; estque signum crucis τ littera graeca, notans numerum CCC. Sed praeter hos trecentos, adjungit porro XVIII, hoc est, litteris graecis, ιη, quibus signari putat, utpote litteris initialibus, Ἰησοῦς, nomen Jesu. Adeoque, sicut per Abrahae famulos CCCXVIII, liberatus est Loth, ita per τιη (quibus idem numerus signatur), id est per signum crucis et nomen Jesu, liberatus est Isaac, mortemque evacuavit seu evitavit illo die tertio. Quae omnia non tam Isaac ultimo spectant, in quo misericordiam consequitur nemo, sed, cujus ille typus erat, Jesum Christum semen Abrahae dictum.

"Suos CCCXVIII." This passage is defective in both codices, and so obscure; but it is clear from what follows that it must be restored to this sense: when Abraham defeated his enemies and freed his friends (Gen. 14), he numbered his home-born servants, that is, his household, 318. In which this author holds that these prophetic mysteries are contained: namely, that by C, the sign for a hundred, it was signified that a son, Isaac, would be born to Abraham at a hundred years; which letter he tripled (CCC) for three hundreds, just as Isaac, who was to be sacrificed (a type of Christ), made a journey of three days, and also carried the wood, that is, the sign of the cross; and the sign of the cross is the Greek letter τ, marking the number 300. But besides these three hundred he further adds 18, that is, in Greek letters, ιη, by which he thinks is signified, as by its initial letters, Ἰησοῦς, the name of Jesus. And so, just as Lot was freed by Abraham's 318 servants, so by τιη (by which the same number is signified), that is, by the sign of the cross and the name of Jesus, Isaac was freed, and escaped or avoided death on that third day. All of which looks ultimately not so much to Isaac, in whom no one obtains mercy, but to him of whom he was the type, Jesus Christ, called the seed of Abraham.

Hic est Christus Jesus qui, secundum carnem, Abrahae fuit filius; in cujus mysterio, centenario patri natus Isaac super humeros suos portavit lignum: ut ex eo demonstraretur, et adversarios expugnari, et credentes salutem consequi per lignum, id est per crucis signum. Ipse est Abraham, cui dixit Deus: « In semine tuo benedicentur omnes nationes terrae. » Numquid ergo aliquis in Isaac misericordiam consequitur? Non; sed omnis homo credens Deo in Christo benedicetur. Et ideo Abraham, quia a Deo Domino dictus est propheta, cum manifeste sciret, in sacramento Christi, centenario sibi natum filium, qui post diem tertium mortem evacuavit, et illum fortem et inimicum nostrum vinxit: deinde numeravit universos vernaculos suos CCCXVIII, id est pro centenaria generatione triplicavit C, et fecit τ signum crucis, quibus adjunxit ιη nomen Jesu, et adversarios expugnavit, et filium fratris sui Loth de captivitate eorum liberavit. Et merito ipse Dominus et magister noster dicebat Judaeis: « Si filii Abrahae essetis, facta

This is Christ Jesus Who, according to the flesh, was the son of Abraham; in Whose mystery Isaac, born to a father of a hundred years, carried the wood upon his shoulders: so that by this it might be shown both that adversaries are overcome and that believers attain salvation through the wood, that is, through the sign of the cross. He Himself is Abraham, to whom God said: "In your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed." Does anyone, then, obtain mercy in Isaac? No; but every man believing God in Christ will be blessed. And therefore Abraham, because he was called a prophet by the Lord God, since he clearly knew, in the sacrament of Christ, that a son had been born to him at a hundred years, who after the third day made death void, and bound that strong one and our enemy: then he numbered all his home-born servants, 318, that is, for the begetting at a hundred he tripled C, and made τ, the sign of the cross, to which he joined ιη, the name of Jesus, and he overcame the adversaries, and freed Lot, his brother's son, from their captivity. And rightly did the Lord Himself and our Master say to the Jews: "If you were sons of Abraham, the deeds

Ac propterea, Gentes, facti estis filii Abrahae, facta patris sui Abrahae facientes, cum signo crucis et nomine Jesu, quotidianis diebus adversus angelos apostatas pugnantes, sermone Dei armati, qui de captivitate Satanae liberat homines. Ipse est Abraham qui LXXV annorum credidit vocatus; et quamvis multos, id est tamquam stellas coeli, filios habere ab ipso Deo sit praedictus; tamen per unicum filium ejus, cujus imaginem portabat ille agnus immaculatus in Aegypto occisus, et ipse protoplastus Adam et omnis homo credens misericordiam a Deo est consecutus.

of Abraham you would do." But those, therefore, who heard these things from Christ chose to do not the deeds of Abraham but the wicked deeds of the devil. And for this reason, Gentiles, you have been made sons of Abraham, doing the deeds of your father Abraham, fighting day by day against the apostate angels with the sign of the cross and the name of Jesus, armed with the word of God, which frees men from the captivity of Satan. This is the Abraham who, called at seventy-five years of age, believed; and although it was foretold to him by God Himself that he would have many sons, that is, as the stars of heaven, yet through His only Son, whose image that spotless lamb slain in Egypt bore, both the first-formed Adam himself and every believing man has obtained mercy from God.

Denique revertamur ad Exodum, id est ad diem Paschae primum, et exinde per ordinem dinumeremus annos usque ad Christum. In quibus annis inveniemus nobis magna et admiranda sacramenta demonstrari. Dinumerantes itaque, ut dixi, per ordinem, a die quo exierunt ex Aegypto usque ad diem quo oportebat eos exire de eremo, anni XL: exeuntes autem de eremo et introeuntes ut possiderent a Deo sibi repromissam terram, a Jesu filio Nave usque ad Samuelem, judicem et Dei sacerdotem, secundum Pauli B. Apostoli sermonem, qui, spiritu Dei edoctus, retulit eos implevisse annos CCCCL. Ipse est Samuel, qui ex praecepto Dei unxit Saul in

Finally, let us return to the Exodus, that is, to the first day of the Passover, and from there let us count up in order the years down to Christ. In these years we shall find great and wonderful mysteries shown to us. Counting, therefore, as I said, in order, from the day on which they went out of Egypt to the day on which they were to go out of the desert, forty years: and going out of the desert and entering in to possess the land promised to them by God, from Jesus [Joshua] son of Nave to Samuel, judge and priest of God, according to the word of the blessed Apostle Paul, who, taught by the Spirit of God, related that they completed four hundred and fifty years. This is the Samuel who by the command of God anointed Saul as

And Judaea was captured by King Nebuchadnezzar, who, when Jeconiah had been carried away into Babylonia, set up Zedekiah as king of Judah in Jerusalem; after 11 years he overthrew him, and killed his sons before his eyes; and thus he bereaved Zedekiah himself, and ordered him to be led bound into Babylonia, and set him at a mill, where he also died. And then was fulfilled concerning him what was said by the Lord through Ezekiel the Prophet: "I will stretch out my net over him, and he shall be caught in the enclosure, and I will bring him into Babylon in the land of the Chaldeans, and this land he shall not see, and there he shall die."

Retineo Athaliae (quam Godoliam vocat uterque codex) annos 8 (utut nunc 6, nunc 7, memorentur II Chron. 22, 12 et 23, 1 et 24, 1 et alibi), quoniam hoc exigere videtur hujus calculus; atque alii chronologi saltem 7 numerant; et uterque codex consentit.

"Annis VIII." I keep the 8 years of Athaliah (whom both codices call Godolia), although now 6, now 7 are recorded (2 Chron. 22:12 and 23:1 and 24:1, and elsewhere), because this author's reckoning seems to require it; and other chronologers count at least 7; and both codices agree.

"Ab Exodo autem DCCCCLXXXXV." The numbers, faulty here and there, we have restored from the passages of Holy Scripture to which they refer. And, so corrected, they give the number he intends, 995: that is, David's 6 months, and Jehoahaz's three, and Jeconiah's three months and ten days (for which 100 days are put here), being counted as one whole year.

Dominus: Sic tradam regem Juda, et principes ejus, et residuos in Hierusalem, qui derelicti sunt in terram istam, et eos qui habitant in Aegypto; et dabo eos in dispersionem in omnia regna terrae, et in opprobrium, et in parabolam, et in odium, et in execrationem, in omni loco quo eos expulero; et immittam in eos famem, et mortem, et gladium, donec deficiant a terra quam dedi eis.»

the Lord: Thus will I deliver up the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant in Jerusalem, who have been left in this land, and those who dwell in Egypt; and I will give them over to dispersion into all the kingdoms of the earth, and to reproach, and to a byword, and to hatred, and to execration, in every place to which I shall drive them out; and I will send upon them famine, and death, and the sword, until they fail from the land which I gave them."

Undecimo itaque anno Sedeciae suppleti sunt ab Exodo anni mille et sex. Et tunc populus Judaeorum; qui legem non observaverat, sed potius contra voluntatem Dei filios suos idolis immolaverat, et ipse captivus agitur; et civitas eorum quae synagogae portaverat typum succensa ab adversariis eradicatur; et templum illud quod in mysterio Adae fuerat fabricatum, et ipsum a fundamentis subvertitur, et ad planum redigitur. Et sic nobis qui in novissimis diebus credere praevidebamur, magnum, ut dixi, sacramentum demonstrabatur. Etenim; si meruerat ipse populus et civitas exterminari, quid templum Dei admiserat ut hoc pateretur? nisi quia vere constat id factum, ut dixi, in mysterio ejus qui prior legem Dei transgressus est, et fuit pater omnium peccatorum: et ideo non solum Adae oportebat subveniri; sed et omnibus peccatoribus qui filii fidei Abrahae futuri praevidebantur, merito et ipsi civitati et templo priusquam subverteretur, post annos LXX restituto, repromittebatur. Et hoc erat quod jam tunc ab initio saeculi in Abraham patrem fidei demonstrabatur: qui cum supplesset a die nativitatis suae annos LXX, non potuit de terra sua exire, nisi in signo Pentateuchi, cujus universa mandata populus Israel non erat observaturus,

So in the eleventh year of Zedekiah one thousand and six years from the Exodus were completed. And then the people of the Jews, who had not kept the law, but rather against the will of God had sacrificed their sons to idols, is itself also led captive; and their city, which had borne the type of the synagogue, is burned by the adversaries and rooted out; and that temple which had been built in the mystery of Adam is itself also overthrown from its foundations and levelled to the ground. And thus to us, who were foreseen as going to believe in the last days, a great sacrament, as I have said, was being shown. For if the people itself and the city had deserved to be destroyed, what had the temple of God committed that it should suffer this? unless because it is truly established that this was done, as I have said, in the mystery of him who first transgressed the law of God and was the father of all sinners: and therefore, since it was necessary that help be brought not only to Adam but also to all the sinners who were foreseen as going to be sons of the faith of Abraham, it was rightly promised in return to the city itself and to the temple, before it was overthrown, that it would be restored after seventy years. And this was what was already then, from the beginning of the world, being shown in Abraham, the father of faith: who, when he had completed seventy years from the day of his birth, could not go out from his land except in the sign of the Pentateuch, all of whose commandments the people of Israel was not going to keep,

PL 4:958

adjicerentur et anni V, et sic credens Deo, reputaretur ei ad justitiam. Hic est itaque Abraham de quo superius diximus, quod LXXV annorum crediderit vocatus. Ad quos LXXV annos adjicitur unus annus, et fiunt LXXVI. Quis autem hic qui adjicitur annus? Ille scilicet qui de semine ejus agnus anniculus immaculatus est dictus. Igitur, de mille et sex deducamus LXXVI, et remanent anni DCCCCXXX; quibus suppletis, Adam functus est vita.

the five years too might be added, and so, believing God, it might be reckoned to him for righteousness. This then is the Abraham of whom we spoke above, that he believed when he was called at seventy-five years of age. To these seventy-five years one year is added, and they become seventy-six. But what is this year that is added? That one, namely, which was called the lamb of a year old, without blemish, from his seed. Therefore let us subtract seventy-six from one thousand and six, and there remain nine hundred and thirty years; when these were completed, Adam finished his life.

Post haec autem demonstremus captivitatis tempus, annorum LXX. Suppletis enim ab Exodo usque ad Jechoniam annis DCCCCLXXXXV, adjiciamus XI Sedeciae, qui anni undecim in corpore LXX annorum computantur. Quo autem modo videamus. Ex quo capta est Hierusalem, ipse Sedecias, ut diximus, annis XI. Post quem Nabuchodonosor, qui eum in terra Chaldaeorum vinctum duxit, annis XXV. Ulemaradan, annis XII. Balthasar annis IV. Et Darius Cyri filius, annis XVIII. Fiunt in se anni LXX. Et sic Cyrus suscepit regnum Medorum et Persarum.

After this, moreover, let us demonstrate the time of the captivity, a period of seventy years. For once the nine hundred and ninety-five years from the Exodus up to Jechoniah are completed, let us add the eleven of Zedekiah, which eleven years are counted within the body of the seventy years. Let us see, then, in what way. From the time when Jerusalem was taken, Zedekiah himself, as we said, for eleven years. After him Nebuchadnezzar, who led him bound into the land of the Chaldaeans, for twenty-five years. Ulemaradan, for twelve years. Belshazzar for four years. And Darius, son of Cyrus, for eighteen years. Together these make seventy years. And so Cyrus received the kingdom of the Medes and Persians.

Ipse est Cyrus cujus in principio regni, cum thesauris domus Dei, reversus est populus Judaeorum in terra sua. Ex quo tempore oportet nos hebdomadas computare. De quibus Angelum Dei meminimus Danieli dixisse: «LXX hebdomades breviatae sunt super populum tuum et super civitatem illam sanctam, ut consummetur peccatum, et ut signentur peccata et deleatur injustitia, et expientur injustitiae, et ut reducatur justitia aeterna, et ut signetur visio et prophetia, et ut ungueatur Sanctum sanctorum. Et cognosces et intelliges ab exitu sermonis, ut respondeatur et ut aedificetur Hierusalem

This is the Cyrus at the beginning of whose reign the people of the Jews returned, with the treasures of the house of God, into their own land. From that time we must count the weeks. Concerning these we recall that the Angel of God said to Daniel: “Seventy weeks have been shortened upon your people and upon that holy city, that sin may be brought to an end, and that sins may be sealed and injustice blotted out, and injustices expiated, and that everlasting righteousness may be brought back, and that vision and prophecy may be sealed, and that the Holy of holies may be anointed. And you shall know and understand from the going forth of the word, that answer may be made and that there may be built Jerusalem

usque ad Christum ducem, hebdomades VII et hebdomades LXII; et convertetur et aedificabitur platea et murus, et exinanientur tempora: et post hebdomadas has LXII, disperibit unctio, et judicium non est in eo: et civitatem et illum sanctum corrumpet cum illo duce qui veniet, et excidentur in cataclysmo, et usque ad finem belli breviati exterminii. Et confirmabit testamentum multis hebdomas una: et in dimidio hebdomadis auferetur meum sacrificium et libatio, et super illum sanctum execratio vastationum, et usque ad consummationem temporis consummatio dabitur super hanc vastationem.

as far as Christ the leader, seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; and the street and the wall shall be turned back and built, and the times shall be emptied out: and after these sixty-two weeks the anointing shall perish, and there is no judgement in it: and he shall corrupt the city and that holy [place] together with that leader who shall come, and they shall be cut down in a deluge, and up to the end of a war of shortened destruction. And one week shall confirm the covenant for many: and in the half of the week my sacrifice and libation shall be taken away, and upon that holy [place] the execration of devastations, and until the consummation of time a consummation shall be given upon this devastation.

«Et confirmabit, inquit, testamentum multis hebdomas una.» Haec est ergo hebdomas una quam segregavit Angelus de LXX, et posuit in novissima saeculi tempora. Quam hebdomadam recognoscimus habere annos septem: in quibus oportet primo Enoch et Eliam venire, et per suam prophetiam magnae multitudini Evangelium, id est novum testamentum, confirmare. Sic etenim audivimus Angelum Danieli dixisse: «Confirmabit testamentum multis hebdomas una. Et in dimidio, inquit, hebdomadis auferetur meum sacrificium et libatio.» Dimidium autem hebdomadis, tempus et tempora et dimidium temporis ostendit; quod est triennium et menses sex; qui fiunt dies, secundum Apocalypsin, mille CCLX. In quibus diebus ille Antichristus magnam faciet vastationem: et ideo tunc nemo Christianorum poterit Deo sacrificium offerre, quoniam ipse nequissimus incipiet in templo Dei sedere, et ignorantibus se Deum affirmare: quem oportet Jesum Dominum et Salvatorem nostrum spiritu oris sui interficere, et praesentia adventus sui evacuare, et in ipso mundum consummare, sicut scriptum est.

"And one week," he says, "shall confirm the covenant for many." This, therefore, is the one week which the Angel set apart from the seventy and placed in the last times of the world. We recognize this week as having seven years: in which Enoch and Elijah must first come, and through their prophecy confirm the Gospel, that is, the new covenant, to a great multitude. For thus we have heard that the Angel said to Daniel: "One week shall confirm the covenant for many. And in the half," he says, "of the week my sacrifice and libation shall be taken away." Now the half of the week indicates a time and times and half a time; which is three years and six months; which make, according to the Apocalypse, one thousand two hundred and sixty days. In these days that Antichrist will cause great devastation: and therefore at that time none of the Christians will be able to offer sacrifice to God, since that most wicked one will begin to sit in the temple of God, and to declare himself God to those who do not know: whom Jesus our Lord and Saviour must slay by the breath of His mouth, and bring to nothing by the presence of His coming, and in it bring the world to its consummation, as it is written.

« Et super illud sanctum execratio vastationum, et usque ad consummationem temporis consummatio dabitur super hanc vastationem. »

"And upon that sanctuary the abomination of desolations, and even to the consummation of the time a consummation shall be given upon this desolation."

Post haec revertamur ad VII, et sic ad LXII hebdomadas. Quae septem hebdomadae continent annos XLIX; quibus suppletis, illo in tempore et Hierusalem restituta cognoscebatur, et platea per medium ejus aedificata considerabatur, murus in circuitu civitatis ipsius erectus, illa omnia quae intus erant fortiter tuebatur. In qua civitate templum illud quod in similitudine Adae fuerat destructum; in nomine ejus iterum per XLVI annos est aedificatum, et in sacramento Spiritus sancti oleo est unctum; quomodo ab Angelo fuerat dictum. Ut consummetur visio et prophetia et ungueatur sanctum sanctorum. Ipsum autem fuit sanctum sanctorum in imaginem hominis unctum, quod cum ipsa civitate, pro infidelitate Judaeorum ab ipso Domino nostro iterum temporibus Vespasiani est exterminatum. Sic fuerat enim in eodem capitulo quod exponimus scriptum, « et post LXII hebdomadas disperibit unctio, et judicium non est in eo, et civitatem et illud sanctum corrumpet cum illo duce qui veniet, et excidentur in cataclysmo, et usque ad finem belli breviati exterminii. Excidentur, inquit, in cataclysmo. » De quibus hoc dixit? Utique de ipsis Judaeis, qui, post adventum Christi, in illa obsidione et expugnatione Vespasiani excisi et ejecti sunt de civitate sua, in qua jam non redeunt nec in ipsa fine belli breviati. Quod est autem hoc bellum breviatum? nisi Antichristi regnum quod exsurgere habet contra populum Christianorum. Ipsi sunt dies de quibus ait Dominus in Evangelio: « Et nisi abbreviati essent dies illi, non liberaretur omnis caro. »

After this let us return to the seven, and so to the sixty-two weeks. These seven weeks contain forty-nine years; when they were completed, at that time Jerusalem too was recognized as restored, and the street through its midst was seen built, the wall erected round the circuit of the city itself strongly protected all the things that were within. In which city that temple which had been destroyed in the likeness of Adam was in his name built again over forty-six years, and in the sacrament of the Holy Spirit was anointed with oil, as had been said by the Angel: That the vision and prophecy may be consummated and the holy of holies anointed. Now that holy of holies was anointed in the image of man, and together with the city itself, on account of the unbelief of the Jews, it was destroyed again by our Lord Himself in the times of Vespasian. For thus had it been written in the same chapter which we are expounding: "and after sixty-two weeks the anointing shall perish, and judgement is not in it, and he shall corrupt the city and that sanctuary together with that leader who shall come, and they shall be cut off in a deluge, and even to the end of the shortened war of extermination. They shall be cut off," he says, "in a deluge." Of whom did he say this? Surely of the Jews themselves, who after the coming of Christ, in that siege and storming of Vespasian, were cut off and cast out of their city, to which they do not now return, nor even at the very end of the shortened war. But what is this shortened war, if not the kingdom of Antichrist, which is to arise against the people of the Christians? These are the days of which the Lord says in the Gospel: "And unless those days had been shortened, all flesh would not be delivered."

Restitutum est ergo templum in nomine protoplasti, qui dictus est Adam, sicut superius diximus, annis XLVI.

Qui numerus annorum sic comprehendetur. Cum a die illo quo reversus est in terra sua Judaeorum populus, regnavit Cyrus Persarum annis XXXI: post quem Cambyses annis IX, et impleti sunt XXXX. Post annos autem XL, regnat Smerdis Magus mensibus septem; qui menses a nobis non computantur; quare? quoniam in septimo mense Cyri fundamenta templi posuerunt, et exinde usque ad annum secundum Darii opus in eo non confecerunt. Tunc prophetant Aggaeus et Zacharias; per quos exhortatus est eos Dominus, et unanimes accesserunt, et in quadriennio residuum opus templi consummaverunt. Quod ipsum quidem in primo libro Esdrae manifeste demonstratur, quod sexto anno Darii templum Dei sit per omnia consummatum. Ad XL adjiciamus Darii VI, et fiunt XL et VI. Quibus annis adjecti sunt tres in mysterio passionis et resurrectionis Christi, et impleta est hebdomada septima. Et tunc platea et templum et murus et ipsa civitas, quadragesimo et nono anno suppleto, per omnia perfecta et munita demonstrabatur. Sed hoc totum opus in sacramento Ecclesiae perficiebatur.

The temple, therefore, was restored in the name of the first-formed man, who was called Adam, as we said above, in forty-six years. It is shown in the name Adam in this way: since among the Greeks the first letter of his name is called alpha, one (μία), and the second delta, four (τέσσαρες), again alpha, one (μία), and the fourth mu, forty (τεσσαράκοντα), the number forty-six results. This number of years will be reckoned thus. From the day on which the people of the Jews returned into their land, Cyrus reigned over the Persians thirty-one years; after him Cambyses nine years, and forty were completed. After the forty years, Smerdis the Magus reigns seven months; these months are not counted by us. Why? Because in the seventh month of Cyrus they laid the foundations of the temple, and from then until the second year of Darius they did not complete the work on it. Then Haggai and Zechariah prophesy; through them the Lord exhorted them, and with one mind they drew near, and in four years they finished the remaining work of the temple. This very thing is indeed clearly shown in the first book of Ezra: that in the sixth year of Darius the temple of God was completed in every respect. To the forty let us add the six of Darius, and they make forty and six. To these years were added three in the mystery of the passion and resurrection of Christ, and the seventh week was completed. And then the street and the temple and the wall and the city itself, the forty-ninth year being made up, were shown to be completed and fortified in every respect. But this whole work was being accomplished as a sacrament of the Church.

Denique videamus quid ipsi XLIX anni significent. Non sine causa enim Deus voluit in septem hebdomadibus tam magnum, id est propheticum opus consummari. Hoc autem modo propheticum fuisse intelligitur: cum de XLIX annis, in nomine Jesu Christi, decem et octo segregantur, et remanent XXXI: quibus suppletis, Christus Jesus propter credentium salutem passus est et resurrexit, et per semetipsum omnia perfecta ostendit; et templum

Next let us see what these forty-nine years themselves signify. For not without cause did God will that so great a work, that is, a prophetic one, be completed in seven weeks. Now that it was prophetic is understood in this way: when from the forty-nine years, in the name of Jesus Christi, eighteen are set apart, thirty-one remain; when these were completed, Christ Jesus suffered for the salvation of believers and rose again, and through Himself showed all things perfected; and the temple

PL 4:962

quod non humanis sed suis sacris manibus, secundum imperium Patris sui, formavit, non oleo sed spiritu Dei unxit; et civitatem, id est Ecclesiam, lapidibus sanctificatis aedificavit, et in ipsa plateam constituit. Platea autem est via recta et plana, in qua ambulantes perveniunt ad vitam aeternam. Huic civitati fortem et inexpugnabilem murum, id est sanctum nomen suum, constituit: per quod nomen omnes adversarios pedibus ejus subjicit. Ecce, Dei gratia, quam praeclara et admirabilia nobis ostensa sunt per annos XLIX. Qui anni e contrario infidelibus, et persecutionem servis Dei facientibus, magnam demonstrant superventuram calamitatem. Qua autem ratione videamus. Hic enim mundus in quo justi et injusti ab initio saeculi conversantur, sex diebus est consummatus; quibus suppletis, benedictus est dies septimus; ille scilicet superventurus sabbati aeterni. In his itaque diebus ab initio, non tantum diabolo et angelis ejus, sed et omnibus peccatoribus a Deo ignis est praeparatus. In cujus flamma uri ille Finaeus dives ab ipso Dei Filio est demonstratus. Hic est gehennae ignis; in cujus similitudine caminus imperio regis septies tantum incensus per XL et IX cubita excrevit, et adversarios Ananiae, Azariae et Misahel consumpsit, et ipsos tres pueros a Dei Filio protectos (in mysterio nostro qui sumus tertium genus hominum), non vexavit, suppletis itaque XLIX annis, post LXX captivitatis, facti sunt anni CXIX. Qui CXIX anni conjunguntur illis qui ab Exodo usque ad Jechoniam computati sunt anni DCCCCXCV, et fiunt in se anni usque ad Hierusalem restitutam, suppleta septima septimana, anni Ī CXIIII.

which He formed not with human hands but with His own sacred hands, according to the command of His Father, He anointed not with oil but with the Spirit of God; and He built the city, that is, the Church, with sanctified stones, and in it He established a street. Now the street is the way, straight and level, walking on which men arrive at eternal life. For this city He established a strong and impregnable wall, that is, His holy name: through which name He subjects all adversaries beneath His feet. Behold, by the grace of God, how splendid and wonderful things have been shown to us through forty-nine years. These years, on the contrary, for the unbelievers and for those who carry out persecution against the servants of God, show a great calamity that is to come. Let us see by what reasoning. For this world, in which the just and the unjust have dwelt from the beginning of the age, was completed in six days; and when these were fulfilled, the seventh day was blessed; that is to say, the day of the eternal sabbath that is to come. In these days, therefore, from the beginning, fire has been prepared by God not only for the devil and his angels, but also for all sinners. In its flame that rich man Finaeus was shown by the very Son of God to be burning. This is the fire of Gehenna; in likeness of which the furnace, heated seven times as much by the command of the king, rose up through forty and nine cubits, and consumed the adversaries of Ananias, Azarias and Misael, and did not harm the three youths themselves, protected by the Son of God (in a figure of us, who are the third race of men); and so, when the forty-nine years were fulfilled, after the seventy of the captivity, there came to be one hundred and nineteen years. These one hundred and nineteen years are joined to those which were reckoned from the Exodus to Jechoniah, nine hundred and ninety-five years, and together they make, up to Jerusalem restored, when the seventh week was fulfilled, one thousand one hundred and fourteen years.

Septima autem septimana suppleta, necesse est nos ad LXII hebdomades converti: quae continent annos CCCCXXXIV. Quibus, suppletis oportuit Christum secundum carnem nasci. De quo

Now when the seventh week has been fulfilled, it is necessary for us to turn to the sixty-two weeks, which contain four hundred and thirty-four years. When these were fulfilled, it was fitting for Christ to be born according to the flesh. Concerning Whom

PL 4:963

in continenti Simeon, vir justus, portans cum suis manibus, dixit ad Mariam matrem ejus : « Ecce hic positus est in casum et resurrectionem multorum in Israel, et in signum cui contradicetur. » Non tantum autem Simeon, sed et ipsi CCCCXXX et IV anni, et signum crucis, et tempus passionis, et tertium diem resurrectionis ejus demonstraverunt. Quo autem modo videamus. Superius enim diximus Abrahae centenario natum filium in mysterio Christi; et demonstravimus neminem in Israel benedictionem consecutum, aut nunc modo posse benedictionem consequi, nisi in semine ipsius Abrahae, qui est Christus. Et ideo in sacramento Christi de CCCCXXXIV annis primo segregantur centum, et remanent CCCXXXIV. Anni CCC scilicet ostenderunt τ crucis signum, et remanserunt XXXIV : de quibus deductis III, propter diem resurrectionis ejus, remanserunt anni XXXI. Quibus suppletis, oportuit propter peccata credentium pati Christum. Ipsos igitur CCCCXXXIV annos adjiciamus ad summam superiorem, et inveniamus annos ab Exodo usque ad nativitatem Christi, mille DXLVIII. Cujus nativitatis tempus cognoscere desiderantes, ipsos annos MDXLVIII ab Exodo, id est a primo pinacis versu, diligenter dinumeremus, et ad diem nativitatis ejus perveniemus. Qui dies sexta sedecennitate in tertio decimo versu invenitur, V kl. april. feria IV.

forthwith Simeon, a just man, carrying Him in his hands, said to Mary His mother: "Behold, this one is set for the fall and the rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be spoken against." Not only Simeon, however, but also the four hundred and thirty and four years themselves showed forth both the sign of the cross and the time of the passion and the third day of His resurrection. Let us see, then, in what manner. For above we said that a son was born to Abraham at a hundred years of age in the mystery of Christ; and we showed that no one in Israel obtained the blessing, or can even now obtain the blessing, except in the seed of Abraham himself, which is Christ. And therefore, in the sacrament of Christ, from the 434 years a hundred are first set apart, and 334 remain. The 300 years, namely, showed the τ, the sign of the cross, and 34 remained; and when 3 of these were taken away on account of the day of His resurrection, 31 years remained. When these were fulfilled, it was necessary that Christ should suffer for the sins of believers. Let us therefore add these 434 years to the sum above, and let us find the years from the Exodus up to the nativity of Christ: one thousand 548. Desiring to know the time of this nativity, let us carefully count these 1548 years from the Exodus, that is, from the first line of the table, and we shall arrive at the day of His nativity. This day is found in the sixth sixteen-year cycle, in the thirteenth line, on the fifth day before the Kalends of April, the fourth weekday.

O quam praeclara et divina Domini providentia !

O how splendid and divine is the providence of the Lord!

ut in illo die quo factus est sol, in ipso die nasceretur Christus, V kl. apr. feria IV. Et ideo d⟨e⟩ ipso merito ad plebem dicebat Malachias pr⟨o⟩pheta: « Orietur vobis sol justitiae, et curatio e⟨st⟩ in pennis ejus. » Hic est sol justitiae cujus ⟨in⟩ pennis curatio praeostendebatur. De quo et Moys⟨es⟩ in cantico recognoscitur dicens: « Et super pu⟨l⟩los suos concupivit et expandens alas suas. » Ip⟨se⟩ est Dominus in cujus similitudine hic sol annu⟨…⟩ per CCCLXV dies et quartam partem di⟨ei⟩ consummat. Quae ipsa quidem pars quarta diei hab⟨et⟩ tres horas. Tres autem horae imaginem portant ill⟨o⟩rum trium dierum qui in principio saeculi sine sole ⟨et⟩ luna fuerunt. Et ideo, quomodo tres hor⟨ae⟩ in quadriennio quater computatae unum diem du⟨o⟩decim horarum effecerunt, sic et ipsi tres die⟨s⟩ per quatuor tempora ternos menses sibi defende⟨n⟩tes, annum post XII menses suppletum demonstrav⟨e⟩runt. Et sic, per hanc multiformem trinitatem, ⟨et⟩ ipse duodecim horae Evangelium unum in qu⟨a⟩tuor partes divisum ostenderunt, et tres mens⟨es⟩ per quatuor tempora, id est per quatuor Evangeli⟨stas⟩ a Christo electos XII Apostolos nobis demonstr⟨a⟩verunt.

so that on the very day on which the sun was made, on that same day Christ should be born, on the fifth day before the Kalends of April, the fourth day of the week. And therefore the prophet Malachi rightly said of Him to the people: 'There shall rise for you the sun of justice, and healing is in His wings.' This is the sun of justice in whose wings healing was foreshown. Of Him too Moses is recognized in the canticle, saying: 'And over His young He longed, and spreading His wings.' He is the Lord in whose likeness this sun completes its annual [course] through 365 days and a fourth part of a day. And this fourth part of a day indeed has three hours. Now the three hours bear the image of those three days which at the beginning of the world were without sun and moon. And therefore, just as three hours, counted four times in four years, made one day of twelve hours, so also these three days, each claiming three months for themselves through the four seasons, showed the year completed after twelve months. And thus, through this manifold trinity, the twelve hours themselves showed the one Gospel divided into four parts, and the three months through the four seasons, that is, through the four Evangelists, showed us the twelve Apostles chosen by Christ.

Hi sunt Apostoli, quorum sermonibus aedificati, r⟨e⟩cognovimus Dominum nostrum anno sextodecim⟨o⟩ imperii Tiberii Caesaris passum, cum esset ipse a⟨n⟩norum XXXI. Ad XVI ergo annum et XXX⟨I⟩ adjiciamus XVIII in nomine ipsius Jesu, et fit num⟨e⟩rus LXV; quibus desunt trecenti ut impleatur a⟨nnus⟩

These are the Apostles, built up by whose words we have recognized that our Lord suffered in the sixteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when He was thirty-one years old. To the sixteenth year, then, and the thirty-first let us add eighteen in the name of Jesus Himself, and the number becomes 65; to which three hundred are lacking for the year to be filled

U. continentissimus. νουνεχέστατος, pro quo interpres, si forte fuerit interpres, legerat συνεχέστατος. G. immo contentissimus, ut sorte sua contentus: et Simeon ipse dixit, Domine, nunc dimittis servum tuum in pace, quoniam oculi, etc.

"De quo in continenti Simeon." C.: "contenentissimus." U.: "continentissimus": νουνεχέστατος [most sensible], for which the translator, if there was a translator, had read συνεχέστατος [most continuous]. G.: rather "contentissimus," as content with his lot; and Simeon himself said, "Lord, now let your servant depart in peace, for my eyes," etc.

"Qui dies." W.: Against the received opinion he puts the birth of Christ on 28 March: unless perhaps what he says of the birth is to be understood of the conception, which is believed to have taken place about this time, namely on 25 March.

"Pars quarta diei habet tres horas" [the fourth part of a day has three hours]. W.: Rather six hours: for this concerns the day of 24 hours; unless he means the whole night-and-day divided into 12 hours (double ours), or means to distinguish three daytime hours from as many night hours, of which he would here take no account.

(Per quatuor tempora) ‹anchor: lemma; no call› · col 964 Per quatuor tempora. W. id est, quatuor vicibu[s], seu quater.

"Per quatuor tempora." W.: that is, four times over, or four times.

secundum cursum solis. CCC autem apud Graecos per unam litteram notantur quae dicitur tau, et manifeste demonstrat omnibus tau crucis signum. Ecce iterum jam vere credamus quod V kl. april. secundum carnem natus sit Christus: in quo die probavimus solem factum.

according to the course of the sun. Now three hundred is denoted among the Greeks by a single letter, which is called tau, and the tau plainly shows to all the sign of the cross. Behold, once again let us now truly believe that Christ was born according to the flesh on the fifth day before the Kalends of April, the day on which we have proved that the sun was made.

Debemus ostendere et id ipsum non fuisse vacuum, sed in salutem nostram fuisse praeostensum. In die enim quarto quando factus est sol, ipso die et luna facta est XV, altero autem die fuit XVI, tertio vero XVII: et sic plasmatus est Adam de terra, qui per suam inobedientiam non tantum sibi sed et nobis arcessierat mortem: quam mortem Dominus noster Jesus conculcans, passus est luna XV; et requievit in corde terrae XVI; tertio autem die, luna XVII inventa, reversus est ab inferis, de terrae fundamentis; et sic ipsi Adae et omnibus credentibus in se restituit vitam aeternam. Quomodo ergo per cursum solis signum tau et tempus passionis demonstratum est sic et per cursum lunae tertius dies resurrectionis ejus evidenter ostensus est. A die enim primo in quo facta est luna quintadecima,

We must show that this very thing was not empty either, but was shown beforehand for our salvation. For on the fourth day, when the sun was made, on that same day the moon too was made at its fifteenth; on the next day it was at its sixteenth, and on the third at its seventeenth; and so Adam was fashioned from the earth, who by his disobedience had brought death not only on himself but on us as well. Treading this death underfoot, our Lord Jesus suffered on the fifteenth of the moon, and rested in the heart of the earth on the sixteenth; and on the third day, the moon being found at its seventeenth, He returned from the underworld, from the foundations of the earth; and so He restored eternal life to Adam himself and to all who believe in Him. Therefore, as the sign tau and the time of the Passion were shown by the course of the sun, so too the third day of His resurrection was plainly shown by the course of the moon. For from the first day, on which the moon was made at its fifteenth,

from then on for fifteen days it was seen in the sky; but on the sixteenth day, as in the sixteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, as though dead it was not seen by men; likewise on the seventeenth day too it was not seen; but on the eighteenth, in the likeness and in the name of Jesus Himself, it too, after the third day, rose again restored towards evening, and showed forth the future resurrection of us all towards evening, that is, in the last hour of the age.

Ecce igitur quanta nobis dies nativitatis Domini ostendit! qui nativitatis dies ab Exodo repertus est, ut diximus, post annos Ī DXLVIII. Quos annos ab Exodo sic vere a nobis collectos ostendimus, cum et ipsorum annorum rationem non esse vacuam demonstramus.

See, therefore, what great things the day of the Lord's nativity has shown us! This day of the nativity was found, as we have said, 1548 years after the Exodus. These years from the Exodus, thus truly reckoned by us, we set forth, while we also demonstrate that the reckoning of these very years is not empty. For the Lord, holy and divine, in order to show us that He has foreknowledge of things to come, also made manifest in these very years the time at which the water which washed away sins was to be sanctified by His Son, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar. And therefore, just as Abraham, when he wished to overcome those who had led away captive Lot, his brother's son, numbered his household servants first as eighteen in the name

of Jesus; and the others, on account of the hundredth-year begetting, tripling them in the mystery of the three days, he numbered as 300, and made the τ tau, the sign of the cross: so let us too deduct fifteen hundreds from the 1548 years, and 48 remain: from which, when 18 have been taken away in the name of Jesus, 30 years are found: and when these were completed from His nativity, the Lord Jesus was baptized by John in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar: in whose sixteenth year He suffered and rose again. Let us therefore again add 31 years to the sum, and all the years from the Exodus up to the passion come in all to 1579. From that time, that is from the passion, up to the fifth year of Gordian, when Arrianus and Papus were consuls, 215 years were completed. And from the Exodus all the years are 1794.

Et quidem raro accidit ut chronicorum scriptores ad eum ipsum annum quo scribunt res perducant, sed ad annum aliquem insigniorem, paulo praeteritum. Quod et hic factum esse videtur, nimirum ad annum Gordiani imperatoris ultimum. Quippe cujus annus quintus desinit et sextus incipit, anno consulatus Arriani et Papi. Annoque sexto inchoato, sed non perfecto, ante aliud Pascha, a Philippo Arabe, qui successit, occisus est; et quidem, referente Julio Capitolino, eisdem adhuc, Arriano et Papo consulibus.

"Arriano et Papo consulibus" [in the consulship of Arrianus and Papus]. W.: The reckoning is carried down to this year, which is the year 243 of the common era. In that year Cyprian is said not yet to have professed himself a Christian, but one or two years later. Whether this treatise was written in the year at which the reckoning ends is not clear. That it was then written by Cyprian, not yet a Christian, is not to be thought. If therefore he is its author, it must be said to have been written somewhat later, after he became a Christian. And indeed it seldom happens that writers of chronicles carry things down to the very year in which they write, but rather to some more notable year a little past. This seems to have been done here too, namely to the last year of the emperor Gordian; for his fifth year ends and his sixth begins in the year of the consulship of Arrianus and Papus. And when his sixth year had begun but not been completed, before another Pasch, he was killed by Philip the Arab, who succeeded him; and indeed, as Julius Capitolinus reports, while the same Arrianus and Papus were still consuls.

(Suppleti sunt anni CCXV) ‹anchor: lemma; no call› · cols 967–968 Suppleti sunt anni CCXV. W. in hoc numero variant codices: codex C. habet CCXV, et quidem rectius. Cum enim uterque mortem Christi assignet anno Tiberii XVI, qui est aerae vulgatae Dionysianae, annus 29, inde ad consules Arrianum et Papum, qui est ejusdem aerae annus 243, sunt anni 214, aut (utrisque extremis computatis) 215. At codex R. habet CCXX: adeoque ab Exodo numerat annos ∞̄ CCXCI, pro ∞̄ CCXCIV; et Judaeorum Pascha pro illo anno, quaerit (non ut codex C, in tertio versu, sed) in versu octavo primae sedecennitatis; ponitque (non, ut C, XII kl. apr. feria III, sed) IX kl. apr. feria VI: sed in hoc consentiunt (quod utrique anno commune est) quod Pascha nostrum, dominico proxime sequente, fit VII kal. apr. Sive enim XI kal. apr., hoc est martii 21, fuerit tertia feria, sive IX kal. apr., hoc est martii 24, feria sexta, erit VII kal. apr., hoc est martii 26, dies dominicus. Sed erroris causam hanc fuisse conjicio. Uterque codex, nativitati Christi, assignat annum ab Exodo MDXLVIII: et uterque consentit addendos esse, pro Passione, annos XXXI; qui conficiunt quidem annos MDLXXIX, sed codex R. (excidente V) fiunt, inquit, anni MDLXXIV. Cumque librarius (de hoc securus) viderat, aliis computantibus, ad illum Gordiani annum esse, ab Exodo, annos MDCCXCIV, differentiamque viderit annorum (non CCXV, sed) CCXX; hunc numerum isti intervallo assignavit: interpolatis hic annis V, qui illic exciderant. His autem sic positis, animadvertit ille, vel alius forte aliquis, positis ab Exodo ad Christum natum annis 1548, indeque ad passionem annis 31, de quibus convenit, inde ad Gordiani quintum (quod jam posuerat R. 220); omnino fieri, ab Exodo ad Gordiani quintum, annos 1799 substituit igitur (pro MDCCXCIV) annos ∞̄ DCCXCIX: cui convenit, primae sedecennitatis, versus octavus; adeoque dies IX kl. apr. et feria VI, pro Judaeorum Paschate. Cumque, his datis, sequeretur Pascha Christianorum, dominico sequente, incidere in VII kal. apr. quod, uti videtur, reapse contigit, et quidem secundum canones a Nicaena synodo post conditos, contingere debuit; satis securus erat de calculo rite posito. Sed et idem contingeret, ut modo dictum est, etiamsi hic error, quinque annorum, non incidisset: nempe, quod Pascha Christianorum illo anno foret (quod actu contigit) VII kal. apr., ut librarii fuerit ille error calculi, non auctoris. De quo consensu sibi tantopere gratulatur hic auctor: indeque Pinacem suum recte constitutum concludit.

"Suppleti sunt anni CCXV" [215 years were completed]. W.: The codices differ on this number: codex C has CCXV, and more rightly. For since both put the death of Christ in the sixteenth year of Tiberius, which is the year 29 of the common Dionysian era, from then to the consuls Arrianus and Papus, which is the year 243 of the same era, there are 214 years, or (counting both ends) 215. But codex R has CCXX; and so it counts from the Exodus ∞̄ CCXCI [1791] years instead of ∞̄ CCXCIV [1794]; and it looks for the Jewish Pasch for that year (not, as codex C, in the third line, but) in the eighth line of the first sixteen-year cycle; and it puts it (not, as C, on 21 March, a Tuesday, but) on 24 March, a Friday. But they agree in this (which is common to both years), that our Pasch, on the following Sunday, falls on 26 March. For whether 21 March was a Tuesday, or 24 March a Friday, 26 March will be a Sunday. But I conjecture that the cause of the error was this. Both codices assign to the birth of Christ the year 1548 from the Exodus, and both agree that 31 years are to be added for the Passion, which indeed make 1579 years; but codex R (a V having dropped out) says "the years come to 1574." And since the scribe (untroubled on this point) had seen that, by others' reckoning, there were 1794 years from the Exodus to that year of Gordian, and saw a difference of (not 215 but) 220 years, he assigned this number to that interval, interpolating here the 5 years that had dropped out there. These being so set, he, or perhaps someone else, noticed that, with 1548 years set from the Exodus to the birth of Christ, and thence 31 to the passion, which are agreed, and thence to Gordian's fifth year (which R had already set at 220), the total from the Exodus to Gordian's fifth year comes to 1799 years; he therefore substituted (for 1794) ∞̄ DCCXCIX [1799] years, to which the eighth line of the first sixteen-year cycle corresponds; and so 24 March, a Friday, for the Pasch of the Jews. And since, given this, it followed that the Pasch of the Christians on the following Sunday fell on 26 March, which, as it seems, actually happened, and indeed by the canons later drawn up at the Nicene synod ought to have happened, he was quite confident that the reckoning was correctly set. But the same would follow, as was just said, even if this error of five years had not occurred: namely that the Christians' Pasch that year would be (as actually happened) on 26 March; so that this error of reckoning would be the scribe's, not the author's. On this agreement our author congratulates himself greatly, and concludes from it that his Table is rightly constructed.

Hos autem annos omnes ab Exodo, id est a primo pinacis versu, super septem sedecennitates illos usque numerando, omnes annos supradictos consummemus, et tunc ad tertium versum primae sedecennitatis pervenientes, inveniemus secundum Judaeos Pascha XII kal. apr. feria tertia. Secundum nos autem tertio versu primae sedecennitatis, VII kal. apr. occurrit dominicus. Ipso itaque ordine in priora ambulantes usque in finem saeculi, Judaeorum et Christianorum dies Paschae invenire volentes non erravimus. Ac propterea Deo Patri omnipotenti, qui nos ad gratiam tantam vocavit, et divina sacramenta manifestavit, per Jesum Christum Filium ejus, Dominum et Salvatorem nostrum semper sine cessatione gratias agamus.

Now, counting all these years from the Exodus, that is, from the first line of the table, on beyond those seven sixteen-year cycles, let us complete all the years mentioned above, and then, arriving at the third line of the first sixteen-year cycle, we shall find the Pasch according to the Jews on the twelfth day before the Kalends of April, on the third weekday. But according to us, in the third line of the first sixteen-year cycle, the Lord's day falls on the seventh day before the Kalends of April. Proceeding forward, therefore, in this same order to the end of the age, we have not gone astray in wishing to find the day of the Pasch of the Jews and of the Christians. And therefore to God the Father almighty, Who has called us to so great a grace and has made manifest the divine mysteries, through Jesus Christ His Son, our Lord and Saviour, let us always give thanks without ceasing.

W. When the workmen had got this far, and an empty space remained at the bottom of the page, it seemed good to insert here (from Bucherius) the Paschal canon of Hippolytus, which is plainly similar to this one of Cyprian. For he too distributed his cycle by heccaidecaeterides or sixteen-year periods (that is, twin octaeterides), as

Caput hujus canonis, seu primus annus primae sedecennitatis, ponitur, annus primus imperatoris Alexandri, qui est annus Domini vulgaris 222. Adeoque annus vulgaris 243 (qui est Gordiani quintus exiens, et sextus iniens), est hujus canonis annus 22, hoc est secundae sedecennitatis annus sextus. Idemque erat, in canone Cypriani, versus tertius, adeoque annus secundus, primae sedecennitatis. Quamquam igitur eadem plane forma sit utriusque canonis, non tamen ab eodem capite incipiunt: sed primus annus canonis Cypriani, est vicesimus primus in canone Hippolyti.

The head of this canon, that is, the first year of the first sixteen-year period, is set at the first year of the Emperor Alexander, which is the common year of the Lord 222. And so the common year 243 (which is the close of Gordian's fifth year and the beginning of his sixth) is year 22 of this canon, that is, the sixth year of the second sixteen-year period. And the same was, in the canon of Cyprian, the third line, and so the second year of the first sixteen-year period. Therefore, although the form of both canons is plainly the same, they nevertheless do not begin from the same head: rather, the first year of Cyprian's canon is the twenty-first in the canon of Hippolytus.

Item, dies primus mensis primi, in canone Cypriani censetur martii dies quartus (seu 4 non. martii), ut possit 14 luna incidere in martii diem 17 (seu

Likewise, the first day of the first month is reckoned in the canon of Cyprian as the fourth day of March (or the fourth before the Nones of March), so that the fourteenth moon can fall on the seventeenth day of March (or

W.: When the printers had got this far, and an empty space was left at the foot of the page, it seemed good to insert here (from Boucher) the Paschal canon of Hippolytus, which is very like this one of Cyprian. For he too divides his Cycle into sixteen-year periods ("Heccaedecaeterides" or "Sedecennitates"), or double eight-year periods, as does our Cyprian. And (as here) he teaches that after seven sixteen-year periods, or 112 years, the Pasch returns to the same day of the month and the same weekday. This canon (arranged a little differently in Boucher) I here put into the form in which we set out Cyprian's canon above.

Table: the fourteenth moon. For each year of the sixteen-year cycle (marked intercalary "Embolism." or leap "Bissex." where so), the date of the fourteenth moon (e.g. "Id. April." = 13 April; "IIII Non. Apr." = 2 April; "XII Kl. Apr." = 21 March; "XV Kl. Apr." = 18 March), and the weekday on which it falls in each of the seven successive sixteen-year cycles. Side note: The Lord's day next following (not the fourteenth but the fifteenth moon) is (in Hippolytus) the Pasch of the Christians.

(Caput hujus canonis) ‹anchor: editor's commentary on the table; no call› · cols 971–972 Caput hujus canonis, seu primus annus primae sedecennitatis, ponitur, annus primus imperatoris Alexandri, qui est annus Domini vulgaris 222. Adeoque annus vulgaris 243 (qui est Gordiani quintus exiens, et sextus iniens), est hujus canonis annus 22, hoc est secundae sedecennitatis annus sextus. Idemque erat, in canone Cypriani, versus tertius, adeoque annus secundus, primae sedecennitatis. Quamquam igitur eadem plane forma sit utriusque canonis, non tamen ab eodem capite incipiunt: sed primus annus canonis Cypriani, est vicesimus primus in canone Hippolyti. Item, dies primus mensis primi, in canone Cypriani censetur martii dies quartus (seu 4 non. martii), ut possit 14 luna incidere in martii diem 17 (seu 16 kl. apr.), sed in canone Hippolyti primus ille dies censetur martii quintus (seu 3 non. martii), adeoque quartadecima luna non ante martii diem 18 (seu 15 kl. apr.). Sed et pro Christianorum Paschate ponit Hippolytus diem Dominicum qui proxime sequitur (non decimam quartam, sed), quintamdecimam lunam: ut, si 15 luna sit dies Dominicus, non eo die celebrandum sit Pascha (quod, credo, vult Cyprianus, utut id totidem verbis non dicat), sed Dominico sequente plenilunium (seu lunam 15), non in ipso plenilunio. Et quidem fieri potest ut Cyprianus etiam (sicut Hippolytus), non ipso plenilunio (cum sit Dominicus), Pascha celebrandum vellet, sed Dominico sequente, quod et suadere videntur rudera Tabellae Codicis R, (continues)

The head of this canon, or the first year of the first sixteen-year cycle, is set as the first year of the emperor Alexander, which is the year of the Lord 222 in the common reckoning. And so the common year 243 (which is the end of Gordian's fifth year and the beginning of his sixth) is year 22 of this canon, that is, the sixth year of the second sixteen-year cycle. And the same was, in Cyprian's canon, the third line, and so the second year of the first sixteen-year cycle. Although therefore the two canons have plainly the same form, they do not begin from the same head: rather the first year of Cyprian's canon is the twenty-first in Hippolytus's canon.

Likewise, the first day of the first month in Cyprian's canon is reckoned to be 4 March (or the fourth before the Nones of March), so that the fourteenth moon can fall on 17 March (or the sixteenth before the Kalends of April); but in Hippolytus's canon that first day is reckoned to be 5 March (or the third before the Nones of March), and so the fourteenth moon not before 18 March (or the fifteenth before the Kalends of April). Moreover, for the Pasch of the Christians Hippolytus sets the Lord's day next following (not the fourteenth but) the fifteenth moon: so that, if the fifteenth moon is a Sunday, the Pasch is not to be kept on that day (which, I believe, is what Cyprian intends, though he does not say it in so many words), but on the Sunday following the full moon (or fifteenth moon), not on the full moon itself. And indeed it may be that Cyprian too (like Hippolytus) wanted the Pasch kept not on the full moon itself (when it is a Sunday), but on the following Sunday, which the remnants of the Table of Codex R also seem to suggest, (continues) (printed under page 477)

our Cyprian. And (as here) after seven sixteen-year periods, that is 112 years, he teaches that Easter returns to the same day of the month and the same weekday. This canon (arranged somewhat differently in Bucherius) I here reduce to the form in which we set out Cyprian's canon above.

Dies Dominicus proxime sequens (non Quartamdecimam, sed Quintamdecimam Lunam, est (Hippolyti) Pascha Christianorum.

The Lord's Day next following (not the fourteenth, but the fifteenth moon, is (according to Hippolytus) the Easter of the Christians.

16 kl. apr.), sed in canone Hippolyti primus ille dies censetur martii quintus (seu 3 non. martii), adeoque quartadecima luna non ante martii diem 18 (seu 15 kl. apr.).

16th before the Kalends of April), but in the canon of Hippolytus that first day is reckoned the fifth of March (that is, the 3rd before the Nones of March), and so the fourteenth moon is not before the 18th day of March (that is, the 15th before the Kalends of April).

Sed et pro Christianorum Paschate posuit Hippolytus diem Dominicum qui proxime sequitur (non decimam quartam, sed), quintamdecimam lunam: ut, si 15 luna sit dies Dominicus, non eo die celebrandum sit Pascha (quod, credo, vult Cyprianus, utut id totidem verbis non dicat), sed Dominico sequente plenilunium (seu lunam 15), non in ipso plenilunio.

But for the Easter of the Christians, too, Hippolytus set the Lord's Day which next follows (not the fourteenth, but) the fifteenth moon: so that, if the 15th moon is a Lord's Day, Easter is not to be celebrated on that day (which, I believe, is what Cyprian intends, although he does not say it in so many words), but on the Lord's Day following the full moon (that is, the 15th moon), not on the full moon itself. And indeed it may be that Cyprian too (like Hippolytus) wished Easter to be celebrated not on the full moon itself (when it is a Lord's Day), but on the following Lord's Day, which the remnants of the Table of Codex R also seem to suggest,

Finally, they disagree on the age of the moon: for, for the common year 243, which is the second year in Cyprian's canon and the twenty-second in Hippolytus' canon, the fourteenth moon is placed, according to Cyprian, on the twelfth day before the Kalends of April, the third feria; but according to Hippolytus, on the fifteenth day before the Kalends of April, the seventh feria, and so the full moon on the fourteenth day before the Kalends of April, the first feria, that is, on Sunday 19 March, and Hippolytus' Easter (not on that Sunday, but on the following one) on 26 March, or the seventh day before the Kalends of April. On which very day it would likewise have to be celebrated according to Cyprian, as being the first Sunday after the twelfth day before the Kalends of April, the third feria. And the same

diem (pro Paschate istius anni), designant canones Paschales Dionysii (quibus jam utimur, in computo Juliano) ad mentem synodi Nicaenae.

the day (for the Easter of that year), the Paschal canons of Dionysius (which we now use, in the Julian reckoning) designate according to the mind of the synod of Nicaea.

Erant autem (praeter hos Hippolyti et Cypriani), alii item canones ad similem formam (nempe per Sedecennia, aut duplicatam Octaeterida, adeoque post annos 112, aut etiam 56, recurrentes); ut ex Cypriano nostro constat (qui ejusmodi unum aut alium rejicit), et Bucherii notis ad canonem Hippolyti.

There were moreover (besides these of Hippolytus and Cyprian) other canons likewise of a similar form (namely recurring by sixteen-year cycles, or by a doubled octaeteris, and so after 112 years, or even 56); as is clear from our Cyprian (who rejects one or another of this kind), and from Bucher's notes on the canon of Hippolytus.
