Introductory Notice to The Clementine Homilies.
[1098] [Comp. Recognitions, i. 30. The details here are not only fuller, but apparently represent a more developed speculation.—R.]
[1099] The text is somewhat obscure; but the following sentence shows this to be the meaning of it.
Chapter XIV.—Their Discoveries.
[1100] Literally, “the marrow.”
[1101] Literally, “the flowers of metals.”
[1102] [Comp. Recognitions, v. 12.—R.]
[1103] τοῖς αὐτῶν βωμοῖς προσφθαρέντες καὶ αὐτῶν ἐκπληρωθέντες.
Chapter XXI.—Temptation of Christ.
[1104] [The conclusion of this Homily resembles Recognitions, iv. 34–37, but much of the matter of that book is contained in Homily IX.; see footnotes.—R.]
Chapter XXII.—The Marriage Supper.
Chapter XXIV.—The Sick Healed.
[1107] [Comp. Recognitions, iv. 7.—R.]
Chapter I.—Peter’s Discourse Resumed.
[1108] [Much of the matter in this Homily is to be found in Recognitions, iv.—R.]
[1109] [With this and the succeeding chapters compare Recognitions, i. 30, 31, but more particularly iv. 27–31, which furnish a close parallel.—R.]
[1110] That is, I suppose, the wicked one.
[1111] I suppose Nimrod, or Zoroaster.
Chapter VII.—Sacrificial Orgies.
[1112] [Comp. Recognitions, iv. 13.—R.]
Chapter VIII.—The Best Merchandise.
[1113] [Compare with chapters 8–18 the parallel passage in Recognitions, iv. 14–22. The resemblances are quite close.—R.]
Chapter X.—How They are to Be Expelled.
[1114] The gender is here changed, but the sense shows that the reference is still to the demons. I suppose the author forgot that in the preceding sentences he had written δαίμονες (masc.) and not δαιμόνια (neut.).
Chapter XIII.—Deceits of the Demons.
[1115] Some read οὕτως, thus.
[1116] The meaning is: “the idols or images of the heathen deities are not living, but the demons adopt the forms of these images when they appear to men in dreams.”
Chapter XIX.—Privileges of the Baptized.
[1117] [With chaps. 19–21 compare Recognitions, iv. 32, 35, which closely resemble them.—R.]
Chapter XXI.—The Demons Subject to the Believer.
[1118] I prefer here the common text to any of the proposed emendations, and suppose that the author represents Cæsar, though but one man, as the image or personification of the whole empire.
Chapter XXIII.—The Sick Healed.
