Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[1256] Prov. xxx. 29, etc. [As in Vulgate.]
[1257] Prov. xxx. 29, etc. [As in Vulgate.]
[1258] Cf.Prov. 27.22, the Septuagint rendering being: “Though thou shouldest disgrace and scourge a fool in the midst of the council, thou wilt not strip him of his folly.” [What version did our author use?]
[1259] Cf.Prov. 27.22, the Septuagint rendering being: “Though thou shouldest disgrace and scourge a fool in the midst of the council, thou wilt not strip him of his folly.” [What version did our author use?]
[1261] Literally, “grunting hogs.”
[1262] Prov. 30.21, etc. [As to version, see Burgon, Lett. from Rome, p. 34.]
Another Fragment. St. Hippolytus on Prov. ix. 1, “Wisdom Hath Builded Her House.”
[1263] From Gallandi.
[1264] [I omit here the suffix “Pope of Rome,” for obvious reasons. He was papa of Portus at a time when all bishops were so called but this is a misleading absurdity, borrowed from the Galland ms., where it could hardly have been placed earlier. A mere mediæval blunder.]
[1266] i.e., Solomon.
[1267] Other reading, “hewn out.”
[1269] Ps. xliv. 2; Rom. viii. 36.
[1270] Simon de Magistris, in his Acta Martyr. Ostiens., p. 274 adduces the following fragment in Latin and Syriac, from a Vatican codex, and prefaces it with these words: Hippolytus wrote on the Song of Solomon, and showed that thus early did God the Word seek His pleasure in the Church gathered from among the Gentiles, and especially in His most holy mother the Virgin; and thus the Syrians, who boasted that the Virgin was born among them, translated the Commentary of Hippolytus at a very early period from the Greek into their own tongue, of which some fragments still remain,—as, for example, one to this effect on the above words.
[1272] ἀδιάκριτοι, “mixed,” or “dark.”
[1274] In Gallandi, from Anastasius Sinaita, quæst. 41, p. 320.
[1275] In Gallandi, from a codex of the Coislin Library, Num. 193, fol. 36.
I. Hippolytus, (Bishop) of Rome on Hezekiah.
[1276] [Here we have the blunder (noted supra, p. 175) repeated as to Rome, which must be here taken as meaning the Roman Province, not the See. The word “Bishop,” which avoids the ambiguity above noted, I have therefore put into parenthesis.]
