Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
[590] We should doubtless read “Barsabas.”
Chapter LXI.—Caiaphas Answered.
[591] Matt. v. 3; Luke vi. 20.
Chapter LXIV.—Temple to Be Destroyed.
[592] Dan. ix. 27; Matt. xxiv. 15.
Chapter LXV.—Tumult Stilled by Gamaliel.
Chapter LXVIII.—The Rule of Faith.
[594] [This title is consistent with the position accorded to James the Lord’s brother in the entire pseudo-Clementine literature.—R.]
Chapter LXIX.—Two Comings of Christ.
[595] [This sentence seems to have been framed to accord with the Catholic doctrine.—R.]
Chapter LXX.—Tumult Raised by Saul.
[596] A marginal note in one of the manuscripts states that this enemy was Saul. [This is confirmed by chap. 71.—R.]
Chapter LXXI.—Flight to Jericho.
[597] Acts xxii. 5. [There is an evident attempt to cast a slur upon the apostle Paul, but the suppression of the name is significant.—R.]
Chapter LXXII.—Peter Sent to Cæsarea.
[598] [Comp. book ii. 7 and Homily II. 22, 24.—R.]
[599] [The visit of Peter to Cæsarea narrated in Acts x. was for a very different purpose. It is probable that the author of the Recognitions connected the persecution by Saul and the sorceries of Simon because of the similar juxtaposition in Acts viii.—R.]
[600] [With this list compare that in iii. 68, where four others are added (or substituted), and some importance given to the number twelve. See also Homily II. 1. The variety and correspondence point to the use of a common basis.—R.]
[601] That is, the lamp which had been lighted in the evening.
[602] [In the Homilies the discourse before the discussion with Simon is much fuller.—R.]
Chapter V.—Simon Magus, a Formidable Antagonist.
[605] [The statements of Niceta and Aquila are introduced in the Homilies before the postponement of the discussion with Simon. There is a remarkable variety in the minor details respecting Simon as given in the two narratives.—R.]
Chapter VIII.—Simon Magus: His History.
[606] [Comp. i. 54. In Homily II. 23 Simon is said to be a follower of John the Baptist, one of the thirty chief men: so Dositheus. Here Dositheus is represented as the head of a separate sect; so in i. 54.—R.]
[607] [Called “Helena” in the Homilies, and identified apparently with Helen, the cause of the Trojan War.—R.]
Chapter IX.—Simon Magus: His Profession.
[608] [The statements made in the Recognitions respecting the claims of Simon are more extravagant and blasphemous than those occurring in the Homilies. Comp. the latter, ii, 26–32.—R.]
Chapter XII.—Simon Magus and Luna.
[609] The meaning seems to be, that she was seen at all the windows at once.—Tr.
Chapter XIV.—Simon Magus, Professes to Be God.
