    Ft14 This document, lately discovered in Egypt, is the introduction in Syriac to the Paschal Letters of S. Athanasius, also discovered in Syriac.

    These were first edited by the Anglican scholar, Cureton, in London, under the title, “The Festal Letters of Athanasius , discovered in an Ancient Syriac Version , edited by William Cureton, M.A., F.R.S., Chaplain in Ordinary to the Queen, Assistant-keeper of Manuscripts in the British Museum.” A German translation of this newly discovered and important document was edited by Larsow, Professor at the Grey Friars Convent at Berlin, in 1852. An account of it is given by me in the Tubingen Theologischen Quartalschrift , 1853, No. 1.

    Ft22 Rufinus also, 1. (10) 11, fixes the recall of Arius later, and with Sozomen (2. 27, fin.) connects it with the Synod of Jerusalem in 325, mention of which will be made below. Cf. Tillemont, t. 6. note 9, Sur les Ariens .

    Ft23 Socrat. 1. 23.

    Ft24 That he was related to Julian the Apostate, the cousin of Constantine, has been stated by Ammianus Marcellinus in the 22nd book of his history. Cf. Tillemont, t. 6. pp. 108, 321, note 3, Sur les Ariens .

    Ft25 Socrat. 1. 23.

    Ft26 In this light entirely was it represented to the Emperor, e .g . by Constantia’s Arian court chaplain, an ally of Eusebius. Socrat. 1. 25.

    Ft30 Eusebius was held to be orthodox by Socrates, Theodoret, Gelasius of Cyzicus, Bull, Cave (in the Appendix to the Hist . Lit .), and Valesius (in the biography of Eusebius, which he prefixed to the History of the Church by the latter). He was declared, on the contrary, to be an Arian by Petavius, Baronius, Montfaucon, Clericus, the Ballerini, and others.

    Even Athanasius, Epiphanius, and Jerome had not a good opinion of him. The true view is given by Mohler, Athanas . 2. 36-47; Dorner, Doctrine of the Person of Christ , second edition, p. 792 sqq.; Haenell, De Eusebio Coes . religionis Christi Defensore , 1843; Ritter, Eusebii Coes . de Divinitate Christi Placita , Bonnae 1823-4.

    Ft45 Athanas. Apolog . contra Arian . c. 59; Sozom. 2. 21.

    Ft46 Cf. p. 5 sq. Montfaucon in the Vita Athanasii , already so frequently quoted, pp. 18, 21, is of opinion that Arius had been allowed to return from exile in 328, but that not until 331 had he been permitted to go to Alexandria. He tries thus to reconcile the statement in the letter of Eusebius and Theognis (Socrat. 1. 14) with the relation concerning Constantia’s chaplain (Socrat. 1. 25), and the statement of Athanasius (Apolog . c . Arian . c. 59).

    Ft47 Athanas. Apolog . contra Arian . c. 59; Socrat. 1. 23; Sozom. 2. 18. The succession of events to be related here has been better given by S.

    Athanasius than by Socrates and Sozomen; we shall therefore follow the former.

    Ft48 Sozom. 2. 18.

    Ft49 Socrat. 1. 25.

    Ft50 All this has been most circumstantially related by Socrates (1. 25, 26), in part also by Sozom. 2. 27, also by Rufinus, Hist . Eccl . 1, but more briefly and at an earlier date. Valesius, in his notes on Socrat. 1. 25, doubts the truth of the whole account; but Tillemont (t. 6, note 10, Sur les Ariens ) and Walch, Ketzerhist . 2. 489, are probably right in contradicting him.

    Ft56 Larsow, Festal Letters of S. Athanasius, p. 70.

    Ft57 Larsow, l.c. . pp. 77, 80. In the old preface to these Festal Letters (Larsow, p. 27, No. 3) there is a false statement; and what is said of the Festal Letter of 331 (namely, that it was written on his return from the court) belongs to the Festal Letter of the year 332, as is shown by S.

    Athanasius’ own words (ibid . pp. 77 and 80).

    Ft58 Athanas. Apologia contra Arianos , c. 60, 61; Socrat. 1. 27; Sozom. 2. 22; Theodoret, Hist . Eccl . 1. 26, 27 (inexact).

    Ft60 Athanas. Apolog . c . Arian . c. 60.

    Ft61 This writing of Ischyras is to be found in Athanas. 1. c. 64. That Ischyras had thus early written this letter, and certainly before the new accusation against Athanasius, presently to be related, is clear from Athanas. l.c. . c. 65.

    Ft62 Athanas. Apolog . c . Arian . c. 65-67; Socrat. 1. 27; Sozom. 2. 28.

    Ft63 This Synod must be placed in the year 334, as clearly appears from the preface to the newly-discovered Festal Letters of S. Athanasius (p. 28.

    No. 7), and from Sozomen (2. 25). In the latter passage the Synod of Tyre in 335 declares that that of Caesarea had taken place a year before. That of Sardica says the same in the Epistola Synodica , published by the Eusebian party (Hilar. Oper . Fragm . 3, p. 1311, ed.

    Benedict. 1693). If, however, Sozomen in the commencement of the chapter already cited, says that from the summons of Athanasius to Caesarea to his arrival in Tyre thirty months had elapsed, this is not contradictory to the foregoing statement: for (a) the Synod of Caesarea would certainly have been notified to Athanasius considerably earlier than the time of its commencement; (b) neither did he come at once to Tyre, but some time only after the opening of the Council; and lastly (c), the thirty months of Sozomen may he partly numerus rotundus , and not quite an accurate measure of time.

    Ft69 The preface to the Syriac version of the Festal Letters of S. Athanasius, published by Larsow, p. 28, fixes the Synod of Tyre in the year 336, not, as is generally supposed, in 335.

    Ft74 Athanas. l.c. . c. 71.

    Ft75 Athanas. l.c. . c. 72. According to the preface to the Syriac version of the Festal Letters of S. Athanasius (published by Larsow, 1852, p. 28), Athanasius set out on the 17th Epihi (July 11, 336) to travel from Alexandria to Tyre. There is here a mistake of a year. Compare Tubing . Theol .

    Ft86 Epiph. Hoer. 68. 7.

    Ft87 Sozomen (2. 28) calls him Ischyrion.

    Ft88 Sozomen (2. 25) speaks of a bishop’s seat instead of an altar; but, in the first place, Ischyras had only assumed the part of priest, and therefore had no bishop’s seat in his sacrarium; besides which, Athanasius, in his Apologia , which is here the best authority, always speaks of an altar-table (pra>peza ), for instance, c. 74.

    Ft92 Athanas. Apol . c . Arian c. 69. That Arsenius was now first discovered, and that he only now wrote to Athanasius, appears from Socrates 1. 29, Theodoret, Hist . Eccl . c. 1. 30, and from Athanas. Apolog . c . Arian . c. 72; while in c. 69 Arsenius’ letter to Athanasius is only given by anticipation. Accordingly, the Benedictines (Vita S . Athan . p. 24. ed.

    Patav.) have ascribed the discovery and repentance of Arsenius to a too early date, in the year 333; and it is far more likely that the discovery of the lost one was only made shortly before the Synod, so that the opponents of Athanasius knew nothing of it. In Athanas. Apol . c . Arian . c. 27, Pope Julius says that afterwards Arsenius was amongst the friends of Athanasius.

    Ft113 For good reasons the Eusebians did not at all desire their protocols to come before the public, and especially before the eyes of Athanasius, and were very angry when Pope Julius later on imparted to him these acts. Athanas. Apol . c . Arian . c. 83.

    Ft114 Sozom. 2. 25; Athanas. Apol . c . Arian . c 85. According to Socrates (1. 32), the Synod of Tyre had twice pronounced sentence upon Athanasius; namely, the anathema, immediately after his flight, and the deposition pronounced after the return of the synodal deputation.

    Ft117 Socrat. 1. 36.

    Ft118 According to the preface to the Syriac version of the Festal Letters of S. Athanasius (p. 28), he arrived at Constantinople on the 2d of Athyr (October 29) 336, which is another mistake of a year. Cf. above, p. 15, note 2.

    Ft119 Natalis Alexander, in a special dissertation (21 to Section. 4 of his Hist . Eccl .), endeavored to show that Athanasius had rightfully appealed to the Emperor, and that generally, in like cases of unjust sentences pronounced by church authorities (thus in legal, not in purely ecclesiastical matters), an appeal to the Emperor could be made (ab abusu ). Against this the Roman censors raised objections; and Roncaglia wrote a special treatise against the recursus ab abusu , which in the later edition of Natalis Alexander was appended to the above dissertation. Roncaglia represents the matter as if with Athanasius there was no question of appeal from the sentence of a competent judge, and thus no appeal at all, but only a petition for imperial protection against a party which, through misuse of the imperial favor, had treated him with injustice. Neither was it an appeal, because Athanasius had not even waited for the sentence of the Synod, but had beforehand addressed himself to the Emperor. We add that, in any case, Athanasius did not address himself to the Emperor in order that the latter (namely, the secular judge) should decide, but that the affair might be examined by a fresh Synod, namely, of ecclesiastical judges. It must not either be overlooked, that at Jerusalem not only had the law of the Church with respect to Athanasius been violated, but also the natural law, according to which no man may be judged by his enemies.

    Ft120 Athanas. l.c. . c. 66; Sozom. 2. 28. That Constantine was, nevertheless, not displeased with the Synod of Tyre, is seen from the praise which he soon after bestowed upon it, when the Alexandrians desired the return of Athanasius. Sozom. 2. 31.

Athanasius was indeed in Treves when these things took place, and Arius died; but his priest Macarius was just then in Constantinople, and he relies on his statements. Athanasius gives a shorter account of the death of Arius in his Ep . ad Episcopos Aegypti et Libyoe , c. 19.

    Ft155 Yet, even by all this the Emperor’s eyes were not fully opened, and he neither recognized the innocence of Athanasius nor the real plans of the Eusebians, whose orthodoxy and zeal for the peace of the Church he no longer doubted (Tillemont, t. 6. p. 127, ed. Brux.).

Philostorgius (2. 1), however, differs from the above authorities, when he says that the Emperor entrusted his will to Eusebius of Nicomedia; and Valesius agrees with him (in his Notes to Socrat. 1. 39), as he is of opinion that Constantine would rather have entrusted his will to a bishop, or to some other great person, than to a simple priest. But still, in the first place, a court chaplain was a very important person; and, secondly, Constantine wished to have the will kept secret until Constantius’ arrival, and a court chaplain was certainly better fitted for such a commission than a personage of high rank.

    Ft217 So say the Egyptian bishops in their letter (at the end of 339 or the beginning of 340) quoted in Athanas. Apol . c . Arian . c. 19, from which it appears that Pistus was only appointed for the Arian community in Alexandria, and that Remi Ceillier (Histoire generale des auteurs sacres , t. 5. p. 161) and Mohler (Athanas . 2. 52) were not right in assuming that the Eusebians had already deposed S. Athanasius and raised Pistus to his place. The two latter scholars maintain that the promotion of Pistus took place at an Eusebian Synod at Antioch; but Tillemont had before remarked that this was not mentioned in the original documents of this Synod. Tillemont, Memoires , t. 6. p. 129, ed. Brux. Epiphanius (Hoer . 69. 8) also says that Pistus was appointed by the Arians bishop of Alexandria.

    Ft218 We find these three chief points in the apology for Athanasius, drawn up by the Egyptian Synod, as cited in Mansi, l.c. . p. 1279 sqq; Athanas. Apol . c . Arian . c. 3 sqq.

    Ft319 This canon, which was employed for the confirmation of the deposition of Athanasius, and later for the overthrow of S.

    Chrysostom, is really only a repetition of the twenty-ninth Apostolical canon, and the Fourth General Council (in whose collection this canon was the eighty-third) had no hesitation in appealing to it, and having it read out word for word. Cf. Harduin, Collect . Concil . t. ii. p. 434.

    Fta7 Larsow, l .c . p. 31, No. 15. This preface belonged originally to another collection of the Festal Letters of S. Athanasius, now extant, and was added to those newly discovered by a later copyist. See Gluck, in the Vienna Acad . Der Wissenschaft . Philos . Histor ., Klasse 1855, Bd. 17, S. 65.

    Fta8 Both dates are combined in a peculiar manner in the heading of an ancient codex of the decisions of Sardica, in Harduin, Collect . Concil . t. 1, p. 635. Here it is said that the Synod had been held under the Consuls Leontius and Sallustius (in the year 344) in the 381st year of the (Spanish) Aera (343, according to Dionysius’ reckoning). Cf. concerning the Spanish Aera, my treatise “Aera” in vol. 1 of the Kirchenlexicon of Wetzer and Welte Fta9 There is more on this subject in my review of Larsow’s book, Quartalschrift , 1853, p. 163 sqq.

    Fta12 If we went upon the supposition that Athanasius had already fled from Alexandria to Rome about Easter 339, then of course we could still less place the Synod of Sardica later than 343, but rather in the beginning or middle of that year, and we might suppose the stay of S.

    Athanasius in Milan and Gaul, perhaps also in Rome, to have been somewhat longer (perhaps one or two months longer).

    Socrates, l .c ., says: “Many who did not appear at Sardica had tried to excuse their absence on the plea of the short space of time, and to throw the blame on Pope Julius.” It cannot, however, be denied that Socrates here confuses the Synod of Sardica with that of Rome (see above, p. 53), and that he ascribes to the former what was said of the latter Synod in Athanas. Apolog . c . Arian . c. 25. The question as to who assembled the Synod of Sardica is treated of particularly by Natal.

    Fta22 Sardica (Ulpia Sardica), formerly belonging to Thrace, afterwards the capital of Dacia Ripensis, was situated in the so-called Illyricum Orientale, and therefore belonged to the empire of Constantius, but still to the Roman patriarchate (see vol. 1, p. 400; and cf. Wiltsch, Kirchl . Statistik , Bd. 1. secs. 44, 80, 88). Attila destroyed this city; but it was rebuilt, and still exists under the name of Sophia (Triaditza) in Turkey in Europe, lying 59 miles west of Constantinople. It has now about 50,000 inhabitants, of whom 6000 are Christians, and is the seat of a Greek metropolitan and an Apostolic (Catholic) vicariate. But the Vicar-Apostolic of Sophia has lived for some time in the neighboring Philippopolis, which played so great a part in the history of the Synod of Sardica.

    Fta25 In their synodal letter itself (Mansi, t. 3, p. 133) the Eusebians say, that of the six bishops who had been sent as commissaries from Tyre to Mareotis (cf. above, p. 23), five had been present at Sardica (the sixth, Theognis of Nicaea, had died before. Cf. Tillemont, Memoires , etc., t. 7, p. 141, ed. Brux., in the treatise concerning the Arians, art. 38).

    Thus it is clear that Maris, Macedonius, Ursacius, Valens, and Theodore were present at Sardica; and as the names of the three first are not among the signatures, they must be added to the number seventy-three.

    Fta134 Instead of pri>siv judicium , as Isidore and the Prisca rightly have it, Dionysius reads concilium , which gives this meaning: “so that a fresh Council should take place.” Still this does not affect the chief point.

    Fta135 According to the Greek text, and that of Dionysius, those who had pronounced the first judgment were to write to Rome; and Fuchs (l .c . p. 107) rightly adds, that they were to do this at the desire of the condemned. But, according to Isidore and the Prisca , the right or the duty of bringing the affair before Rome, also belonged to the neighboring bishops. I believe that the last interpretation has only arisen through a mistake, from a comment belonging to the next sentence being inserted in the wrong place, of which we shall again speak in the following note. It only remains to be remarked here, that Isidore and the Prisca have not the name Julio , and that its insertion has given occasion to the Gallicans for an hypothesis, of which we shall speak later. But Hardouin’s conjecture, that instead of Julio , perhaps illi may be read, is entirely gratuitous, contrary to the Greek text, and plainly only a stratagem against the Gallicans.

    Fta136 The Greek text does not say expressly who had to decide as to the necessity of a fresh investigation; but the Latin of Dionysius does so, and assigns the decision to the Pope. This difference is, however, of no importance; for clearly he, to whom they had written on the subject, i .e . the Pope, must decide on this point. Cf. the treatise (by Herbst) concerning the Council of Sardica, in the Tubinger Theol . Quartalschrift , 1825, p. 23. The rule that the Pope was to constitute the court of second appeal of those bishops who were near the Church province in question, is expressly contained in the Greek text, but is wanting in the Latin, in Dionysius, as well as in Isidore and the Prisca , who only generally remark that the Pope had to name the judges of the court of second appeal. Now, if we assume that already in early times a reader of the Latin text observed this omission, and by use of the Greek text put in the margin of his copy, after the words judicium renovetur , the words ab allis (or illis ) episcopis qui in provincia proxima morantur , then this gloss might easily, by a later copyist, have been inserted too soon by one line in the text. Thus it came to pass that the Prisca and Isidore, who in general harmonize far more with each other than with Dionysius, accepted this addition, and placed it in a context, where it would mean that “the bishops of the neighbouring provinces might also write to Rome” (see preceding note); while Dionysius never accepted this gloss.

    Fta137 Again, the Greek text does not say who had to decide on this point, as does the Latin: si autem probaverit (scil . Papa ). This, however, is explained by what has been said above. No difference exists as to the fact, for, according to the context of the whole canon, this decision could belong to no other than the Pope. Cf . Tubing . Theol . Quartalschrift , 1825, p. 24.

    Fta138 The difference existing in this passage between the Greek and Latin text does not alter the sense, for the Latin text also says clearly: “If the Pope decides to abide by the judgment of the court of first appeal, then the decision shall hold good.” Under such circumstances we cannot see how it could have been supposed that the Latin text had here been falsified in the interest of Rome, in Isidore and the Prisca , because it there stands: quoe decreverit Romanus episcopus , confirmata erunt .

    Cf. Quartalschrift , 1825, p. 24 sq.; Van Espen, l .c. p. 267; also Fuchs, l .c . p. 107. In truth, the Latin text plainly does not here attribute more right to the Pope than does the Greek; for the decreverit Romanus episcopus here simply refers to the decision that no new inquiry should take place. Cf. Palma, Proelect . Hist . Eccl . in Collegio Urbano , 1838, t. 1. P. 2, pp. 92, 93. Neither must we understand before the verb decreverit , which in Dionysius stands without any subject, Synodus Provincialis , as Van Espen thinks (p. 267), but Pontifex Romanus ; for the decision, according to the Greek text, as well as the Latin of Isidore and the Prisca , belongs to no other than the Pope.

    Fta198 I could not obtain an ancient treatise concerning the Synod of Sardica in general, and the three canons just mentioned in particular, by Marchetti, Del Concilio di Sardica e desuoi Canoni su la forma de Giudizi Ecclesiastici , Rom. 1783; but to judge from Marchetti’s other writings, the loss may not be great.

    Fta199 Cf. supr . vol. 1, p. 356.

    Fta200 Cf. my treatise on pseudo-Isidore in the Tubing . Theol . Quartalschrift , 1847, pp. 641, 647, 653 sqq., 658 sqq., and the article:

    Hincmar of Rheims, Hincmar of Laon, and pseudo-Isidore, in the Kirchenlexicon of Wetzer and Welte.

    Fta201 In Dionysius and the Prisca 5 and 6, in Isidore 6.

    Fta202 The two old Greek scholiasts, Balsamon (in Bevereg. 1. 490) and Aristenus (ibid . p. 492), have thus interpreted the text; and of later writers, especially Van Espen, l .c . p. 269 sq.; Tillemont (t. 8, p. 48), and Herbst (Tub . Quartalschrift , 1825, p. 32).

    Fta203 Instead of plurimi , one codex reads non plurimi . But although Hardouin (Collect . Concil . t. 1, p. 642 ad marg.) declares the last reading to be by far the best, it is neither critically supported, nor calculated to remove the difficulties of interpretation.

    Fta204 The ordinare , which is wanting in Dionysius, stands in Isidore and the Prisca . Moreover, as according to the fourth Nicene canon this single bishop might not consecrate any other, — for this, three bishops were needed, — the words must necessarily have this meaning: “If he from carelessness neglects himself to take the initiative, and to summon bishops from the neighbouring provinces for the consecration of new colleagues,” etc.

    Fta205 In the Prisca it stands very similarly: Et populi confugerint ad vicinos provincioe episcopos .

    Fta219 If they confused the canon of Sardica with one of the Nicene canons, the reason was the same, doubtless, as in the case of Zosimus. Cf. vol. 1, pp. 356 sq.

    Fta220 In Dionysius, Isidore, and the Prisca , canon 8.

    Fta221 C. 28, causa 23, quaest. 8.

    Fta222 Gratus of Carthage was, as we know, a member of the Synod of Sardica, and does not here bear favorable testimony to his countrymen.

    Fta223 Here the Latin text in Dionysius, Isidore, and the Prisca has pupillis instead of laicis , which seems better. But the old Latin translation from the Greek probably read lai`koi~v as the corrupt version liutius instead of laicis shows. Mansi, t. 6, p. 1205. In other respects the Greek and Latin in this canon agree tolerably accurately.

    Fta224 The Emperor Justinian, in his Novella 6 c. 2, for instance, demanded that every bishop should at least appear once at the Court; but in the seventh and thirteenth Council of Toledo, the bishops are ordered to appear at the Court, where the rescue of a fellow-creature depends upon it. Cf. Van Espen, l .c . pp. 271 sq.

    Fta225 Concerning these petitions to be presented by the bishops, cf. also Van Espen, l .c . p. 272.

    Fta226 According to Dionysius, Isidore, and the Prisca , the first half of the ninth canon.

    F227 The text of Dionysius: ne episcoporum improbitas nitatur , gives no good meaning; but instead of nitatur should probably be read notetur , as Isidore has it. The Prisca gives: ne episcoporum importunitas depravetur .

    Fta228 So Zonaras explains this passage in Bevereg. t. 1, p. 494; also Fuchs, l .c . p. 118; Van Espen, l .c . p. 273.

    Fta229 In Dionysius, Isidore, and the Prisca , the second part of the ninth canon.

    Fta230 According to the Latin text, it was expressly ordered that every bishop should send in his petition through the metropolitan. But the Greek text does not express clearly any such order. Yet the Greek scholiasts found such in it, because the eleventh Antiochian canon had already ordered the like, namely, that everything should pass through the hands of the metropolitan.

    Fta231 Kat ajkolouqi>an ajkolou>qwv (see Zonaras in Bevereg. t. 1, pp. 495, 496)= in consequence = at once, at the same time.

    Fta232 The old Latin translation of the Greek text so often mentioned is here useless, because it is so corrupt.

    Fta233 See Mansi, t. 3, pp. 39, 42.

    Fta234 This passage is, of course, also wanting in the Greek scholiasts and in the old Latin translation. And in the Corpus Jur . Can . the whole ninth canon is wanting.

    Fta235 In Dionysius, Isidore, and the Prisca , canon 13.

    Fta236 1 Timothy 3:6. St. Paul here understands by neophyte one who shortly before was still a heathen. Such a neophyte, says the canon, does he resemble who is suddenly taken from worldly business to be a bishop.

    Fta238 In Dionysius, Isidore, and the Prisca , canon 14.

    Fta239 Thus do Balsamon, Zonaras, and Aristenus interpret it in Bevereg. l .c . t. 1, p. 488 sq.

    Fta240 Concerning such doings of the episcopi invasores , cf. Kellner Das Buss und Stafverfahren gegen , Kleriker , Treves 1863, p. 30; Kober, Deposition , etc., 1867, p. 122 sq.

    Fta243 In Dionysius, Isidore, and the Prisca , canon 15.

    Fta244 According to the Latin text of Dionysius, it is: — “Some bishops do not reside in their cathedral town, either because they have more possessions in other places, or from affection to their relatives; … but from henceforth they shall only be absent for the space of three weeks.”

    Isidore and the Prisca , however, are nearer the Greek text, as instead of resident (as says Dionysius) they more rightly read possident .

    Fta245 In Dionysius, Isidore, and the Prisca , canon 16.

    Fta246 In Dionysius, Isidore, and the Prisca , canon 17.

    Fta247 Instead of ajqro>n perhaps ajqw~on “innocent,” should be read, for the Latin text has innocens , and so also has the old Latin translation.

    Fta248 Here the Latin text, instead of metropolitan , has episcopos finitimos , because at that time the metropolitan constitution was not so developed and so universal in the East as in the West. Cf. Ballerini, ed. Opp . S . Leonis , t. 3, p. 32.

    Fta249 Zonaras understands by this the nearest metropolitan, and remarks that this never came into practice. Bevereg. t. 1, p. 503.

    Fta250 On this, cf. Kober, Kirchenbann , 1863, pp. 88, 222.

    Fta251 Zonaras (l .c .) takes this to mean: “If any clerics of the diocese to which the complainant belongs know him to be arrogant, they shall reprimand him per correptionem fraternam .”

    Fta252 See vol. 1, pp. 386 sq. and supr . p. 72; but this canon is in Corpus Juris Can . c. 4, causa 11. quaest. 3.

    Fta265 In the Synodal Letter of the Eusebians from Philippopolis (quoted in Hilar. Fragm . 3, p. 1317, n. 20), mention is made of a quarrel between Protogenes of Sardica, and a bishop of Thessalonica. The name of the latter is not clearly given, but it should probably be read “Aetio.”

    Besides, the text is so corrupt that it is uncertain which of the two attacked the other. On this passage, cf. the notes of the Benedictine editors on this passage in Hilary.

    Fta290 Mansi, t. 3, p. 55; Hard. t. 1, p. 655.

    Fta291 This Synodal Letter is twice given in Athanas. Apolog . c . Arian . c. sqq.; c. 41 sqq. The first time it is addressed to the Church of Alexandria, the second time to the bishops of Egypt and Libya; but it is in fact one and the same document. That the second form given by Athanasius was also originally intended for the Alexandrians in specie , and not for the bishops of Libya and Egypt, appears from c. 43, where Alexandria is spoken of as “your town,” and Athanasius as “your bishop.” Accordingly, the second form was probably nothing more than a copy of the letter to the Alexandrians made for the Libyan and Egyptian bishops. This second form is, moreover, word for word the same as the first in the greater part of its contents; only the passage concerning the Alexandrian priests Aphthon, etc. is wanting, but it has two additions, one at the end of c. 42, and another in c. 43. See next page, notes 1, 4. On the connection of these two forms, cf. the Admonitio of the Benedictine editors to their edition of the Apologia Athanasii , n. 8, p. 95, edit. Patav.

    Fta292 The second form in Athanasius, l .c . c. 42, has here the addition: “Not only you, but also others of our fellow-servants have been injured, and have complained of it with tears.”

    Fta293 This letter from the Synod to the Emperors no longer exists; the Synod, however, mentions it in its letter to Pope Julius, in Hilar. Fragm . t. 2, p. 1291, n. 12.

    Fta294 Secular officers had indeed practiced all kinds of violences in Egypt in order to introduce Arianism. Cf. above, pp. 48 sq., 52.

    Fta295 In the second form of this Synodal Letter the names of the most distinguished Eusebians are here inserted, Athanas. l .c . c. 43.

    Fta296 Mansi, t. 3, p. 66; Athanas. Apol . c . Arian . c. 36, c. 49.

    Fta297 It is now only extant in Latin, with considerably injured text, in Hilar. Fragm . t. 2, p. 1297, and in the Collectio Cresconiana (cf. Baron. ad ann. 347. 24), and was perhaps from the first only written in Latin. It is also printed in Mansi, t. 3, p. 40 sq.; Hard. t. 1, p. 653 sq.

    Fta298 Cf. above, p. 96. Blondell held this passage — Hoc enim optimum et valde congruentissimum esse videbitur , si ad caput , i.e. ad Petri Apostoli sedem de singulis quibusque proviciis domini referant sacerdotes — to be an interpolation, on account of its barbarous Latin, i .e . valde congruentissimum (Blondell, De Primatu Ecclesioe , p. 106).

    Remi Ceillier (Histoire Generale , etc., t. 4, p. 696), on the other hand, remarked that the barbarous Latin might be explained by the supposition that the letter had been first written in Greek, and that we have only a translation. But Remi Ceillier could not deny that this sentence interrupted the train of thought of the letter, and looked like something inserted in parenthesis. Bower (History of the Popes , vol. 1, p. 192) and Fuchs (Biblioth . der Kirchenvers . vol. 2, p. 128) have urged this still more strongly; the latter especially has confidently urged the conjecture that this sentence was originally a gloss added ad marginem by a reader of the letter, and taken into the text by a later copyist. But Remi Ceillier, in order to save the sentence, says that the Synod had only intended by these words to point en passant to its decision with regard to the appeal to Rome.

    Fta299 This deacon, however, did not sign the Synodal acts; this was done by the two priests only. See Mansi, t. 3, p. 66; Athanas. Apol . c . Arian . c. 50.

    Fta311 See above, pp. 18-20. Cf. pp. 48 sq.

    Fta312 We see that the Eusebians attribute the outrages which occurred at the intrusion of Gregory (cf. supr . pp. 18 sq.) to Athanasius. With equal right, one who attacks another might throw the blame of the blood shed upon the one attacked, because, if he had not defended himself, all would have ended quietly.

    Fta313 Here is especially meant the letter of defense of Athanasius sent by the Egyptian and Libyan bishops. See above, pp. 53 sq.

    Fta314 Nothing is anywhere said of this. Possibly Athanasius, who was not himself present at the Synod of Antioch in 330, only did not afterwards expressly protest against it.

    Fta383 Athanas. Hist . Arian . ad Monach . c. 21. The chronological statement given in this passage is probably to be understood thus: About Easter 344, the affair of Euphrates of Antioch, took place, on account of which, a few weeks later, a synod was held, Bishop Stephen deposed, and Leontius raised to his place. In consequence of this, Constantius recalled many adherents of S. Athanasius (in the summer of 344). Ten months later, Gregory of Alexandria died, on the 26th of June 345, as says the preface to the Festal Letters of S . Athanasius , No. 18. This preface, indeed, gives the death of Gregory in the same year in which it reports the return of S. Athanasius, viz. 346; but he places these two events together, not on account of their chronological proximity, but because of their intrinsic connection. If Athanasius returned to Alexandria in 346, Gregory must necessarily have been already dead in 345, as Constantius only invited Athanasius to return after the death of Gregory, and, as he himself says, he waited for Athanasius a full year before he even began his return journey.

    Fta400 This mission, and also the Synod of Carthage in question, took place shortly after the Council of Sardica was ended. It is generally placed in 348, chiefly going upon the supposition that the Sardican Synod was held in 347. But Tillemont has brought forward another and certainly weak reason for the date 348, and even Mansi here agrees with him.

    Fta419 All four are mentioned by Pope Liberius in Hilary, Fragm ., 5. n. 4, p. 1331, but Athanasius (de Synodis , c. 26) omits Demophilus.

    Fta420 We learn this from a letter of Pope Liberius, preserved in the Fragments of S. Hilary (Fragm . 5. n. 4, p. 1331, ed. Bened.), also in Mansi, t. 3, p. 202. It was formerly erroneously believed that the Synod of Milan, here mentioned by Liberius, had preceded the Synod of Sardica. It was, however, the Synod just mentioned which was meant.

    Liberius wrote this letter after the Synod of Arles in 353 or 354; now, if he says those Eusebian ambassadors had been in Milan eight years before, this points to the year 345.

    Fta421 Hilarii, Opp . Fragm . 2, p. 1296, n. 19.

    Fta422 At the Synod of Milan in 345 they had, indeed, pronounced the anathema upon Arius, but still, as it appears, would not enter into communion with Athanasius. They were, in fact, his personal enemies.

    Now, however, they showed an inclination for this also, from fear of deposition, not from inward conviction, as their subsequent relapse shows.

    Ftb8 Because Photinus declared the unbegotten Logos to be eternally resting in the Father, he was accused of really teaching two Gods, because two unbegotten, the Father and the Logos. The Synod, however, here says, instead of Logos, Son, although Photinus made the same distinction between both as did Marcellus of Ancyra. Cf. above, pp. 31 sq., and the anathemas, Nos. 10, 15, 16, 26.

    Ftb9 This meaning is given by the Greek text; the Latin makes it somewhat different: “Et si quis unum dicens Deum, Christum autem Deum ante saecula Filium Dei obsecutum Patri in creatione omnium non confitetur, anathema sit.”

    Ftb10 This is partly directed against Sabellianism, partly against Marcellus and Photinus, in so far that, according to both, the Logos was unbegotten, and the unbegotten rested upon Christ, through the ejne>rgeia drastikh> Ftb11 Plainly against Photinus, who, by the Son understanding only the union of the divine with the human, declared the Son to be later than Mary; and the passages of Scripture which were brought forward in opposition to him, and which speak of the eternity of the Son, he explained thus: that “the Son was only eternal in the foreknowledge of God, but not in His own existence.” Cf. Baur, l.c. 543; and Neander, Kirchengesch. 2d edition, part 3, vol. 4. p. 817.

    Ftb12 Baur is of opinion that it is not a saying of Photinus himself which is here anathematized, but a statement which he falsely ascribed to the Catholic Church, as in the twelfth anathema. But it appears to us to be in truth an opinion held by Photinus himself, only inaccurately expressed, which is here anathematized.

    Ftb13 The doctrine of Photinus is here again inaccurately quoted, for he applies the terms ejndia>qetov and proforiko>v to the Logos alone, and not to the Son. Klose (Geschichte und Lehre des Marcellus und Photinus, p. 72) has not translated this sentence quite correctly, and has confused the subject and predicate.

    Ftb14 Cf. the note on anathema 2.

    Ftb15 In Hilary this is the twenty-third anathema.

    Ftb16 See above, p. 187; Klose, l.c. pp. 77 sq.

    Ftb17 Cf. above, the note on anathema 2.

    Ftb18 This anathema also refers to the opinion of Photinus, that the Logos was not properly a person. Cf. Klose, l. c. 92.

    Ftb19 However Arian these words may sound, yet in the further exposition no other meaning is attached to them than that the Son is so far not equal to the Father, but subordinate to Him, as He has His esse, and with it His power, not ex Se, but ex Patre. Hilarius Pictaviensis (De Synodis, n. 51, p. 1182) also in his commentary on this passage has taken these expressions in bonam partem as opposed to the complete identification of the Father and the Logos by Photinus. But it must not he forgotten that they were Eusebians and semi-Arians from whom these anathemas proceeded.

    Ftb20 ‘From this point the numbers of the anathemas are the same in Hilary as in the Greek text. Concerning the meaning of this anathema, cf. the note on the one following.

    Ftb21 Athanasius and those of the Nicene belief took offence at the Arianizing expression, “the Father begat the Son of His will,” for that which comes of the will is accidental; but, they added, the Son was not begotten of the will, but of the nature of the Father. Against this the Eusebians had already raised objections in their fifth Antiochian formula (the marko>sticov ), as we have seen above, p. 180, and declared that “the Father had begotten the Son of His will.” Because they were now reproached with this, and these words were taken to mean that the Son was degraded to the level of creatures, which were also created of the will of God, they drew up the twenty-forth anathema for the refutation of such reproaches. But at the same time they desired to repudiate the Athanasian formula, “of the nature of God,” and “with necessity,” and therefore immediately added the twenty-fifth anathema.

    Ftb87 Tillemont (t. 6. art. 51, Les Ariens, p. 155 b) maintains, that at the Synod of Milan the Eusebians had for the first time openly declared for the Arian dogma, while before they had only made use of ambiguous formulas. Schrockh (part 6. p. 100), however, remarks that this cannot be maintained with any degree of certainty, as we no longer possess the dogmatic letter of the Emperor to which the signatures were demanded. It is only so far correct that the Eusebians decidedly made common cause with the whole body of Arians against Athanasius and the Nicene faith; but that they now changed their dogmatic position of semi-Arianism for thoroughgoing Arian views is improbable, in view of the conflicts which shortly followed between Arians and Semi-Arians.

Section. 4, against which Roncaglia, in an appended criticism, tries to prove Felix the rightful Pope, Liberius having resigned. Pagi had already maintained the same (Critica in Annal. Baron. ad ann. 355, n. 3, and ann. 357, No. 16 sqq.), on the ground that Felix’s name appears in the office-books, not only as a legitimate Pope but as a saint, because Constantins, whom he had called a heretic, had him put to death. He is commemorated on July 29.

    Ftb133 The ajpologhtiko>v was refuted by Basil the Great, and Eunomius therefore wrote five new books which he named the “Defence of the Defence” against Basil. Philostorgius (lib. 8 c. 12) maintained that Basil, on reading the first of these books, was so enraged at it that he \lied. Photius, however, remarks that Eunomius only published this work after the death of S. Basil. (Photii, Bibl. Cod. 138.) It is certain that for the very reason that Basil was then dead, his brother Gregory of Nyssa wrote twelve books against Eunomius.

    Ftb134 Extracts from the Aetian and Eunomian remains are given by Schrockh, Kirchengesehichte, vol. 6 p. 117 sqq.; Dr. von Baur, Lehre yon der Dreieinigkeit, vol. 1 p. 362 sqq.; and George Augustus Meier, Lehre yon der Trinitat, Hamb. 1844, vol. 1 p. 176 sqq.

    Ftb136 Cf. Dorner, Lehre von der Person Christi, 2d edition; and Baur, Die Christliche Lehre von der Dreieinigkeit, part 1 p. 380.

    Ftb137 Cf. Dorner, l.c. p. 857. Concerning this inconsistency of the Anomoeans, Baur, l. c. p. 375, very justly says: “It is as if the contradiction of the Infinite and the Finite were laid in God Himself.

    The Being and the Will of God bear the same relation to each other as the Infinite and the Finite; for if the Will of God were as infinite and unbegotten as the Being of God, essentially one with the absolute Being of God, then the Will of God could not have been the moving principle of the creation of the Son, without the same inconsistencies arising as with the identity of Substance. Between the Being and the Will of God there is therefore a great gulf; God, as to His Being, is quite other from God as to His Will. The Being of God is Infinite, but the Will is limited to the Finite,” — that is, it only produces the finite.

    And p. 379: “The principle of finiteness (i.e. the Will of God) being thus transferred to the Godhead, removes, per se, that very idea — the absolute idea of God — which it is the first necessity of the Anomoean system to maintain.”

    Ftb138 Baur, l. c. p. 368 sqq.; Dorner, l. c. p. 885. Of this activity of the Son Eunomius maintains, very singularly, and without connection with the rest of his system, that “this activity of the Son was contained in the foreknowledge of God, in an unbegotten manner, even before the First Begotten Himself came into existence.” He therefore considers this activity of the Son to be inherent in God, that is, in the knowledge of God, before its actual realization in creation, in distinction to its subsequent actual appearance.

Professor Reinerding of Fulda (Beitrage zur Honorius und Liberiusfrage, 1865, p. 60) finds an inconsistency in this account, for it says, “The Emperor conceded the recall of Liberius, which gave rise to disturbance among the friends of the latter, and then he called him back.” This is certainly inconsistent. Our account, however, truly says, “At first the Emperor conceded that Liberius should return, and in union with Felix should fill the Papal office. At such a decision (two Popes) disturbance arose, and now the Emperor allowed Liberius to:return as the sole occupant of the Papal See.”

    Ftb180 The Benedictine editors of the works of S. Athanasius (in their Admonitio to the Epist. ad Serapionem, N. 11) indeed maintained that Leontius died later, as Socrates, 2:37, states. We cannot, however, agree with them here, but must rather allow, with the Bollandists, that Leontius was certainly dead at the time of the alleged weakness of Liberius, and that Eudoxius was then his successor, as Sozomen (4:15, compared with c. 13 and 14) very expressly relates. And if this is so, the Historia Arian. ad Monachos must necessarily have been written before the fall of Liberius, which only took place some time after the Synod held by Eudoxius at Antioch. Cf. above, p. 228, and Sozom. 4:15.

Whether this passage in Epiphanius, from Eijv thstin to the end of c. 22, also belongs to the memoir by Basil of Ancyra, given in the weeding chapter, or proceeds from Epiphanius himself, is doubtful.

    Ftb279 Socrat. 2:37, p. 141. This formula of Nice was, as Athanasius (De Synodis, c. 30) states, sent from Constantinople to Rimini, either because it was first transmitted to the Emperor from Nice, and then to the bishops at Rimini, or because it was first composed at Constantinople, and sent from thence to Nice, and from Nice to Rimini.

    Ftb288 We are constrained thus to understand the passage in Rufin. Hist.

    Ftb292 Even those who had already signed were not to be released until all had signed, in order the more easily to induce the minority to yield.

    This appears from the command given to Taurus, quoted by Sulpicius Severus (l. c.), and the letter before mentioned from the bishops who had already yielded to the Emperor, given by Hilary, Fragm. 9 p. 1347.

    Ftb293 Sulp. Sev. l. c. These additions may probably be taken as identical with the anathemas given by Hilary (Adv. Lucifer. t. 4. pp. 299, 300), as having been spoken at that time by Valens to appease the orthodox: “Si quis negat Christum Deum, Dei Filium ante secula genitum, anathema sit. Ab universis consonatum est: anathema sit. Si quis negat, Filium similem Patti secundum scripturas, anathema sit. Omnes responderunt: anathema sit. Si quis Filium Dei non dixerit aeternum cum Patre, anathema sit. Ab universis conclamatum est: anathema sit.

    Si quis dixerit creaturam Filium Dei, ut sunt creaturae caeterae, anathema sit. Similiter dictum est, anathema sit. Si quis dixerit, de nullis exstantibus Filium, et non de Deo Patre, anathema sit. Omnes conclamaverunt: anathema sit. Si quis dixerit, erat tempus quando non erat Filius, anathema sit.”

The promotion of Eunomius took place at an earlier time; in 366, however, he was no longer in possession of the See of Cyzicus. Cf.

    Ftb433 The document in question has been preserved by Theodoret, 5:11, but no doubt with an incorrect heading, according to which the letter of Damasus and his Synod was addressed to Bishop Paul of Thessalonica; but, at that time, S.

    Ftc142 When Martin of Braga arranged his collection of different canons of various Synods, the Western Church already possessed a complete canon of Scripture, and for that very reason he might have omitted the sixtieth Canon of Laodicea, especially as he did not include all the Laodicean canons. What Spittler urges besides, in order to make it probable that the original Isidorian collection was also without this canon, seems to me bold, far-fetched, and hypercritical in the highest degree. As, moreover, the omission of the sixtieth Laodicean canon may be explained as above shown by Dallaeus and Van Espen, there remains, infact, only one single case of omission, i.e. by John of Antioch.

    Not withstanding which, he has most inconsistently declared Sozomen right regarding the date of this Synod.

    Ftc210 That Peter was not appointed bishop before 380 is admirably shown by Tillemont (l . c . p. 343, note sur S . Gregoire de Nysse ), and it is equally certain that he was present as bishop at the second General Council in 381. But that he was the immediate successor of Eustathius is a mere conjecture, and is stated by none of the ancient Fathers.

The Latin metrical version of this poem (by Billius) gives, in 5:1513, the principal reason for the calling of this Synod in the words: firmet ut thronum mihi , i .e . to establish Gregory in the See of Constantinople. But the Greek text has: wJv ph>xontev eujsebh~ lo>gon = “ut stabiliant pietaris doctrinam.”

    Ftc219 The Latin signature of Agrius Immontinensis of Spain does indeed appear among the names of those present; but Hardouin, in his marginal note (Collectio Concil . t. 1 p. 818), has remarked upon the spuriousness of this reading.

    Ftc220 In the oldest Latin translations of the canons of this Synod among the signatures there indeed appear the names of three Roman legates, Pasehasinus, Lucentius, and Boniface (Mansi, Collect . Concil . t. 6 p. 1176); but this is a mistake, for these legates were only present seventy years later at the fourth General Council.

Gregory expressly says, that when, after the death of Meletius of Antioch, divisions arose among the members of the Synod (see below, p. 346), the Egyptians and Macedonians were quickly summoned to make peace. This alone disposes of various conjectures which were raised as to the later arrival of the Egyptians.

    Cf. Baronius, ad ann. 381, n. 19, 53; Papebroch, in note 43, sur Gregoire Naz . Moreover, it is very possible that the Egyptians and Macedonians were invited to the Synod as early as the other bishops, but that, as they did not immediately appear, after the death of Meletius they were summoned again.

A list of the bishops present at Constantinople is given us by Dionysius Exiguns, and in the Prisca , a still older Latin collection of canons. The latter contains 147 names, and is printed in Hard. t. 1 p. 814, in Mansi, t. 3 p. 568, and in the Ballerini edition of the works of S. Leo, t. 3 p. 556.

    Among other names, that of S’s., Peter of Sebaste, the brother of S.

    Basil, is missing, while Theodoret expressly mentions him. But it contains the signatures of Meletius of Antioch and Nectarius of Constantinople, who, however, were not bishops at the same time, as the latter was only chosen some time after the death of the former.

    Ftc230 Elias, Vicar of Jerusalem, was therefore certainly wrong in maintaining, at the sixth session of the eighth (Ecumenical Council, that Timothy of Alexandria presided from the first. Cf. Mansi, t. 16 p. 85; Hard. t. 5 p. 827.

    Ftc231 Van Espen (Commentarius in Canones , etc., p. 181, ed. Colon. 1755), differing from all others, maintains that Meletius only presided at the earlier Synod which had to fill the See of Constantinople; but that the General Council only began with the arrival of the Egyptians, and that then Timotheus of Alexandria presided, but Nectarius only at the later Synod of 382.

    Ftc241 According to Theedoret, v. 8, the Egyptian party had even entirely separated from communion with Gregory. The list of the bishops’ signatures indeed only mentions two Egyptian bishops, Timotheus of Alexandria and Dorotheus of Oryrynchus; but in the first place, that list is not complete; and secondly, even these few Egyptian bishops may have found adherents among the other members of the Synod. [The Egyptian bishops based their objection on the sixteenth Nicene canon against the removal of any cleric from one See to another (supr . vol. p. 423), and accused Gregory of having held successively the three Sees of Sasime, Nazianzus, and Constantinople; the fact being that he had passed from Nazianzus, the place of his original ordination, to Constantinople. Their real ground of offence was apparently the recognition of Gregory, before their arrival, in preference to Maximus, who was their countryman.] Ftc242 They were probably displeased with him on account of his zeal in the Antiochian matter, where he blamed them.

    Ftc256 Tillemont, Memoires , t. 9 p. 222, art. 78, in the treatise S . Gregoire Naz. Remi Ceillier, who (1. c. p. 646) accepted this hypothesis, has, by a defect of memory, destroyed the whole argument — viz. by the statement that Epiphanius had died before the holding of the second General Council. We may add, however, that the similarity between the text of Epiphanius and that of the Synod is not so great as Epiphanius supposes, and especially that there is a marked difference in the passage relating to the Holy Ghost, which is the chief point concerned, as given by Epiphanius. It runs thus: Kai< eijv to< a[gion pneu~ma pisteu>omen, to< lalh~san ejn no>mw|, kai< khru>xav ejn toi~v profh>taiv kai< katabanhn, lalou~n ejn ajposto>loiv, oikou~n ejn aJgi>oiv ou[twv de< pisteu>omen ejn aujtw~|, o[ti ejsti< pneu~ma a[gion, pneu~ma qeou~, pneu~ma te>leion, pneu~ma para>klhton, a]ktiston, ejk tou~ patromenon, kai< ejk tou~ uiJou~ lahbano>menon kai< pisteu>omenon.

    Ftc257 So far, this creed is nearly the same as the Nicene.

    Ftc258 This addition, directed against Marcellus of Ancyra, is already contained (not indeed in words, but in sense) in the Antiochian Creed of 341; of. above, pp. 76, 79, 80.

    Ftc259 The more explicit doctrine concerning the Holy Ghost was clearly added in contradiction to the Macedonian or Pneumatomachian errors.

By the creed then existing was meant the Nicene-Constantinopolitan; cf. infr . Section. 140 ad fin .

As, however, at that time the whole West had still not received this Synod, it is clear that the expression oijkoumenikh> must not be here understood in its fullest meaning. The assembled bishops could only say, “We, for our part, acknowledge that Council as oecumenical;” or they might, which comes to the same thing, understand oijkoumenikh> in the same sense as the Africans did their “universalis.” Cf. vol. 1 p. 3, and vol. 2 p. 175.

See Ambrosii Opp. Epist. 8 t. 2 p. 786, ed. Bened., Paris, and t. 3 p. 820, ed. Venet. 1751. Peter Franz Chiffiet (in his Vindic . Opp .

Ambros .), and Fuchs, l . c . p. 433, refuted this opinion.

    Ftc365 A similar letter to the bishops of Gaul, also preserved in Vigilius of Thapsus, is found in Mansi, t. 3 p. 615, and in Ambros. Epist. 9 l .c . t. p. 844, ed. Venet.

    Ftc375 It is a disputed point whether the Synod here had in view the fourth canon of Nicaea, or the sixth canon of Sardica, and designated the latter as Nicene. We have already, at pp. 133-4, treated in detail of this, and shown that the Fathers of Constantinople quoted the sixth canon of Sardica, which they held to be Nicene (see vol. 1 pp. 356 sq.), but in a text which, though differing somewhat from ours, is indeed the original and correct one, and which answers to an old Latin translation (in a Veronese codex) still extant.

    Ftc393 Cf. Bernays On the Chronicle of Sulpicius Severus , Berlin 1861, pp. 8, 9.

    Ftc394 Bernays concludes from this appeal to the Emperor, that in the accusation against Priscillian not only had “causes of faith and morals” been dealt with, but also points of accusation which legally formed the basis of a criminal case. The accusations were. (1) of “maleficium,” i.e. sorcery, magic, and the like (because Priseillian had occupied himself with the so-called Zoroastrian and other books of magic, from which he derived his comparison of the parts of the human body with the signs of the zodiac); and (2) concerning nightly assemblies for prayer, which had only recently been forbidden by Valentinian I. Accordingly, as Bernays, in opposition to the general view, strongly insists, Priscillian and his adherents were not executed for heresy.

    Ftc395 This is all told by Socrates at the conclusion of his Historia Sacra , t. p. 348 of the Biblioth . Max . PP ., Lugd. 1677; of. Lubkert. De Hoeresi Priscillianistarum , Hafniae 1840, pp. 67, sqq.; and Mandernach, Gesch . des Priscillianismus , Treves 1851, pp. 28, sqq.

    Ftc435 The Benedictines suppose this letter, although in it the passage frater noster Ambrosius occurs, to be composed by Ambrose himself in the name of a Synod which took place somewhat later than that of Capua.

    Lucas, Holstenius, and others ascribe it to Pope Siricius. Cf. note b of the Benedictines on S . Ambros . Opp . t. 3 p. 1091, ed. Venet.

    Ftc437 What Ferdinand Ribbeck, in his work, Donatus und Augustinus (Elberfeld, 1858, pp. 238, sqq.), says concerning the Synod of Hippo is necessarily wrong in many points, because the critical researches of the Ballerini were quite unknown to him, and he had not even an available text of the abbreviated statutes of Hippo.

    Ftc444 The objections raised against this, for instance, by Remi Ceillier (t. p. 665), were removed by the Ballerini in their edition of the works of Leo I., t. 3 pp. 78, sqq., printed in Mansi, t. 3 pp. 909, sqq.

    Ftc445 In vol. 3 of the works of Leo, p. 88; in Mansi, t. 3 p. 917. The earlier inaccurate text is found in Hard. t. 1 p. 971; Mansi, t. 3 p. 894.

    Ftc446 That this creed really belonged to the Synod of Hippo is shown by the Ballerini, l .c . Proefat . p. 80, see. 3.

    Ftc449 It had hitherto belonged to the Numidian primacy. Cf. No. 17 in the Codex Can . Eccl . Afric ., and Van Espen, Comment . in Canones , etc., p. 315. Moreover, according to the African usage, “primas ” is identical with “primae sedis episcopus” or “senex.” While in other provinces the bishop of the civil metropolis was also the head of the ecclesiastical province, and therefore called metropolitan, in Africa the arrangement was that the bishop who had been longest consecrated was head of the province, and his See called prima sedes (cf. vol. i. pp. 162, 174; Marca, De Primatibus pp. 10 sq., in the Appendix to De Concord.

    Sacerd. et Imperii; and Van Espen, l. c. p. 357). But disputes often arose as to seniority, and the following canon is designed to meet them.

    Carthage was the only exception in Africa, as the Episcopal See of this civil capital was at once the first and also the Patriarchal See of Africa.

    Ftd1 Mansi, t. iii. pp. 919, sqq.

    Ftd2 [The “Dominus vobiscum,” restricted to those in holy orders.] Ftd3 We find a milder decision in canon 11. See below, p. 425.

    Ftd5 This canon appears to have been suggested by Augustine in specie, as he shortly before, in 392, complained to Bishop Aurelius of the scandals which took place at the agape in the martyr chapels and cemeteries. See Aug. Epist. 22.

    Ftd6 Two further canons, which the Ballerini adopt, belong, according to their own observation, not to the abridgment of the Synod of Hippo, but one to the third Council of Carthage in 397 (its second), the other to the Council of Carthage in 401.

    Ftd20 The divisions which were to be combated at Nimes were occasioned (a) by the Ithacians and their Bishop Felix of Treves, (b) by the intrusion of Priscillianism, and (c) by the arrival of Manichean sectaries who had been driven from the East by the imperial edict of 389.

    Ftd21 “Letters of peace” = “epistolia.” See canon 6, and cf. canon 13 of the Synod of Orleans in 533.

    Ftd22 Perhaps the same who in the Gallia Chrisi. (t. i. col. 73) is mentioned among the five first Bishops of Auch, and in him we must recognise the president of the Synod of Nimes.

    Ftd23 He was supposed to be the Ursus whose consecration was declared invalid by Pope Zosimus in 417 (Mansi, t. iv. p. 361); but Abbe Leveque shows (p. 19) that this Ursus only became bishop about 411.

    He suggests “Ursio,” an otherwise unknown Gallican bishop, who is mentioned in canon 3 of the Synod of Turin of 401.

    Ftd24 The only well-known bishop of this name in Gaul was S. Genialis, the first Bishop of Cavaillon, who is supposed to have lived somewhere about the year 322 (Gallia Christ. t. i. p. 940). According to this document, the time of his episcopate might be placed about seventy years later, as no bishop was known of between him and Bishop Julian, who occupied that See from 439 to 451.

    Ftd25 Perhaps the first Bishop of Tarbes (Gallia Christ. i. 1225).

    Ftd26 Is he the Bishop of Cahors mentioned by Gregory of Tours in book c. 13 of his history? But this Alitius was then still a priest. See Leveque, l. c. p. 20.

    Ftd27 Not the renowned Bishop Aper of Toul, who lived in the latter part of the fifth century. Cf. Leveque, l.c. p. 20.

    Ftd28 Bishop of Nimes, crucified by the Vandals in the beginning of the fifth century. Gallia (Christ. t. i. instrumenta (in the Appendix), pp. 136, 137; cf. Leveque, l.c. pp. 22, sqq.

    Ft2 Perhaps Bishop of Limoges (Gallia Christ. ii. 501).

    Ftd30 At the Synod of Turin in 401 this Remigius, together with Octavius and Treferius mentioned below, was acquitted of the charge of having performed some unlawful consecrations. His See is unknown.

    Ftd31 Perhaps S. Apodemius, who in 407 went from the shores of the ocean and the furthest boundaries of Gaul to Bethlehem, in quest of S.

    Jerome (S. Hieron. Opp. ed. Bened. t. i. P. i. pp. 168, 188).

    Ftd32 The fourth Bishop of Meaux.

    Ftd33 First Bishop of Vence (Gallia Christ. iii. 1212).

    Ftd34 See above, note 7.

    Ftd35 This Bishop and Urbanus, mentioned below, are probably the same who also signed the decrees at the Council of Valence in 374 (cf. supr , p. 289). Tillemont supposes Nicesius to have been Bishop of Mayence (Tillemont, Memoires. t. viii. p. 235, ed. Brux. 1732). Addo’s Chronicle, however, mentions an Archbishop Nicesius of Vienne.

    Ftd36 S. Evantius (Ovan) was the seventh Bishop of Autun.

    Ftd37 Perhaps the same who in 440 still occupied the See of Embrun. But, in that case, he could not have been present at the Council of Orleans in 461, as Mabillon believed.

    Ftd38 Probably S. Urban, Bishop of Langres. Cf p. 405, note 12.

    Ftd83 According to Roman law, by concubinage was understood every unequal marriage, as in the earlier ages between patricians and plebeians, or between a citizen and a freed-woman. But, after the passing of the “Leges Canuleia, Julia,” and “Papia Poppaea” (A.D. 11), an alliance of the kind above mentioned received all the rights of marriage, and concubinage included only (a) the alliance of a senator, his son (or daughter) with a “libertina” (or a “libertinus”); (b) the alliance of a citizen with an actress, or generally with a member of a class looked down upon; (c) the alliance of a patron with a freedwoman.

    Cf. Waiter, Gesch. der Rom. Rechts, pp. 540, 554. According to this, in the second part of this canon, by “concubina” is probably meant a wife of lower rank, who could be again dismissed (see the remark of the Correctores Romani, on c. 4, Dist. 34, where this canon is quoted); but not so in the first part, as such concubinage could only take place between unmarried persons.

    Ftd169 Learned men have treated much of the origin of the Pelagians. To me their fundamental doctrine, that “man is virtuous entirely of his own merit, not of the gift of grace,” seems to be a rehabilitation of the general heathen view of the world. Thus Cicero says: “For gold, lands, and all the blessings of life, we have to thank the gods; but no one has ever thanked the gods for his virtues.” “Virtutem antem nemo unquam acceptam Deo retulit,” Cic. de Nat. Deorum, lib. iii. c. 36. Cf. Kuhn, Quartalsch. 1846, pp. 226, sq. Modern Paganism takes quite the same view. Once when I was in company with a Protestant Rationalistic member of the Government, and among other things remarked that, “without the grace of God, virtue is impossible to us,” that gentleman replied, “That may be so in the Catholic dogma, but all well-educated Protestants are of quite another opinion.” If Luther had heard this!

    Both these fragments of Augustine and Marius Mercator are printed in Mansi, t. iv. pp. 290, sqq.; the former also in Hard. t. i. p. 2001 (really 1201).

    Ftd172 The text of the six propositions of Celestius is given by Marius Mercator in his work, Commonit. super Nomine Coelestii, who professed to have still in his possession the Acts of the transactions at Carthage (Gestorum Exemplaria). See Marii Mercat. Opp. ed. Migne, t. 48 of the Cursus Patrol. pp. 69, 70. Augustine gives these propositions from memory rather differently, and in a somewhat different order; and also in Marius Mercator we find another more peculiar text (in his lib. Subnotat. in Verba Juliani, l.c . p. 115). Here the six propositions run thus: “1. Adam mortalem factum, qui sive peccaret sive non peccaret, fuisset moriturus. 2. Quoniam peccatum Adae ipsum solum laesit, et non genus humanum. 3. Quoniam infantes, qui nascuntur, in eo statu sunt, in quo Adam fuit ante praevaricationem. 4. Quoniam neque per mortem Adae omne genus hominum moriatur, quia nec per resurrectionem Christi omne genus hominum resurgat. 5.

    Quoniam infantes, etiamsi non baptizentur, habeant vitam aeternam. 6.

    Adjecit praeterea: posse hominem sine peccate esse et facile Dei mandata servare, quia et ante Christi adventure fuerunt homines sine peccato, et quoniam Lex sic mittit ad regnum coelorum, sicut Evangelium.” We see that the chief difference is in No. 5, where something is said which is not contained in the first list of the six propositions, and No. 6 comprises that which is contained above in Nos. 5 and 6.

    Ftd212 The text in Mansi, t. iii. p. 814, is here disfigured by an error in printing, the words “etiam facere diligamus” occurring two lines too early. Hardouin and the Ballerini have the right text.

    Ftd213 In 407, canon 5 (No. 99 of the African canons). See above, p. 443.

    Ftd214 This canon, in distinction to canon 13, treats of the case where a bishop effects no union in his own episcopal city.

    Ftd215 “The same is contained in canon 28 of the Codex Can. Eccl. Afric.

    Cf. Van Espen, l.c. pp. 321, sq.

    Ftd216 Canon 1 of the second series of the Council of Hippo of 393 is here meant. See above, p. 397.

    Ftd217 According to canon 5 of the Synod of Hippo of 393. See above, p. 397.

    Ftd218 See above, p. 387.

    Ftd219 A short document of this Synod, containing the canons in question, is found in Mansi, t. iv. pp. 379, sq.; Hard. t. i. p. 1235.

    Ftd220 See vol. i. p. 356, and supr. pp. 119, sqq.

    Ftd221 We learn this from the fact that in his fourth demand, now to be discussed, he threatened Bishop Urban with deposition if he did not retract.

    Ftd222 Cf. above, p. 461. The Ballerini (ed. Opp. S. Leonis, t. ii. p. 963) rightly observe that this only prohibited priests and deacons, but not bishops, from appealing to Rome.

    Ftd223 We learn all this from the letter of the Carthaginian Synod of 419 to Pope Boniface in Mansi, t. iii. p. 831; Hard. t. i. p. 942.

    Ftd224 They run thus: Can. Sardic. 5 (7). “If a bishop deposed by his comprovincials has appealed to Rome, and the Pope considers a fresh examination necessary, then he (the Pope) shall write to the bishops living nearest the province in question, that they may thoroughly investigate the matter, and deliver a sentence in accordance with the truth. But if the appellant can induce the Bishop of Rome to send priests of his own to constitute, with the appointed bishops, the court of second instance, and thereby to enjoy the authority belonging to himself (the Pope), — i.e. to preside in the court, — it shall be open to him to do so. But should he think the bishops alone sufficient for this court of appeal and for this decision, he shall do what seems to him good.” Can. Sardic. 14 (17). “A priest or deacon excommunicated by his bishop shall have the right to take refuge with the neighboring bishops, until the matter shall be investigated, and the sentence of his own bishop confirmed or corrected,” etc.

    Concerning the bona fides of the Pope in this confounding of the Sardican and Nicene canons, cf. vol. i. p. 356, and Tub. Quartalschrift, 1852, p. 404; also concerning the whole dispute between the Pope and the Africans, cf. Van Espen, Commentar. in Canones, etc., Colon. 1755, pp. 292, sqq.; Dupin, De Antiqua Ecclesioe Discipl. Dissert. ii.

    Ftd225 Cf. supr. p. 172.

    Ftd226 This letter to Zosimus is lost, but the chief contents are repeated in the Synodal Letter to Pope Boniface in Mansi and Hardouin, ll. cc.

    Ftd227 We learn this from a short and very corrupt letter of the Pope to his legates, which Mansi (t. iv. p. 451) gives from a codex of Freising, dated the 26th April 419, viz. a month earlier than the Synod now to be discussed.

    Ftd228 Cf. the heading of the Synodal Letter in Mansi, t. iii. p. 830; Hardouin, t. i. p. 939. The Acts of this Synod are in Mansi, t. iv. pp. 401-415 and 419, sqq.; Hard. t. i. pp. 1241, sqq. The Ballerini, in vol. iii. of their edition of the works of Leo the Great, pp. xcviii., sqq., give the true version of the course of proceedings at this Synod.

    Ftd229 This, I believe, must be the meaning of the somewhat unintelligible text of the speech of Faustinus.

    Ftd230 See above, p. 463. In Mansi, t. iv. p. 405, the addition, “ex Sardicensi Concilio,” has plainly been inserted in the text from a marginal note.

    The right reading is to be found in the text of the Ballerini, and also in Mansi, t. iv. p. 422.

    Ftd231 That the Papal legates at last declared themselves agreed on this point, appears from the letter of the Synod to Pope Zosimus, which speaks of “this unanimous decision.”

    Ftd232 See canon 1 in the Collectio Canon. Eccl. Afric. in Mansi, t. iii. p. 710, t. iv. p. 423; Hard. t. i. p. 867.

    Ftd233 This rather too comprehensive and pompous title was given by Justellus (Biblioth. Jur. Can. t. i. p. 321) to the collection of these African canons, put together in 419 by Dionysius Exiguus. He himself gave his collection a far more modest title (Statute Concilii Africani), and it was only in one manuscript of the collection of Dionysius that Justellus found this pretentious heading. — These Statute Concilii Africani were also translated into Greek, even before the Trullan Synod, and therefore Justellus (l.c.), Hard. (t. i. pp. 861, sqq), and Mansi (t. iii. pp. 699, sqq.), besides the original Latin text, also adopted the Greek version. Yen Espen, in his Commentarius in Canones, etc., Colon. 1755, pp. 305-384, published a commentary on this collection.

    Cf. also Fuchs, Biblioth. der Kirchenvers. vol. i. pp. 300, 308, and vol. iii. p. 417. That which is given in Mansi, t. iv. pp. 477, sqq., under the title of Concilium Africanum, tempore Bonifacii I. Coelest. I., is only an imperfect copy of the Codex Canonum Eccl. Afric.

    Ftd244 The Antiochian Synod says: “is deposed” (kaqaireqei>v ); but the Africans render it “excommunicatus fuerit.” Cf. supr, p. 68.

    Ftd245 The meaning of the expression “propositum” is obscure, and therefore also the meaning of the last part of the canon. Hardouin, in the marginal note on this passage, t. i. p. 879, makes “propositum” identical with “vocatio, professio,” which would give it the following meaning: “he must employ it in conformity with his clerical office.”

    Van Espen (Commentarius in Canones, etc., p. 323), upon the authority of Balsamon and Zonaras, assigns another meaning to it, viz. “he can dispose of it as he likes; but if he has proposed (‘propositum’) to Ftd247 Cf. pp. 395, 406.

    This document, moreover, was drawn up in the names of all the bishops who were present at the first session, and were now represented by the deputies.

    Ftd273 “That this was issued on the day after the second session, viz. on the 31st May 419, appears from the words of Archbishop Aurelius in canon 133 of the Codex: “Die sequenti … venerabili fratri et coepiscopo nostro Bonifacio rescribemus.”

    Ftd276 In Mansi, t. iii. p. 835; Hard. t. i. p. 946. According to the right way of reckoning, however, Easter in 420 fell on the 18th April.

    Ftd277 Mansi, t. iii. p. 838; Hard. t. i. p. 946. According to an old account in Mansi (t. iv. p. 434), Bishop Atticus had also written to Pope Boniface, but the Ballerini (l.c . t. iii. p. cii.) reject this. On the occasion of his answer to the Africans, Atticus is also said to have made a declaration concerning the form of the litteroe formatoe, supposed to have been prescribed at Nicaea, printed in Mansi, l. c., and still better in the Ballerini, l.c. pp. 452, sqq.

    Ftd278 Of these, the creed of Nicaea is still preserved, but not the canons, in Mansi, t. iii. pp. 835, 838; and Hard. l.c.

    Ftd298 [The Massalians were also called Euchites, from their view that prayer is the only means of grace, and Enthusiasts, from their extravagances.

    These sectaries arose in the fourth century, and were first condemned at the Synod of Sida in 383 (cf. supr. p. 389), and finally at the Council of Ephesus in 431. They reappeared, however, in the twelfth century, when, like the Albigenses and other mediaeval sects, they reproduced a form of Manichean error. ] Ftd299 Mansi, t. iv. p. 542.

    Ftd302 [The controversies on the Incarnation, here referred to, extend over the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth (Ecumenical Councils, closing with the condemnation of the Monotholite heresy, at the Third of Constantinople, in 680.] Ftd303 One of the principal historical difficulties of the question lies in the contradiction between these words of S. Hilary, and a note, giving the names of the authors of the confession. I do not believe S. Hilary to be ‘the author of this note. He would not have called the first Sirmian confession the “perfidiae Ariana.” Nor would the Emperor have been satisfied with a subscription to the first Sirmian, which was already obsolete. Petavius (Animad. in Epiphan. p. 316) says, “Hoc certissimum est neque priori illi contra Photinum editae subscripsisse, et si ex tribus Sirmiensibus aliquam admiserit, non aliam quam secundam, cui et Osius assensus est comprobasse.” That Liberius did sign one of them, seems to be not less manifest from the evidence.

    Ftd304 Among these I do not reckon Stilting, the Bollandist, whose article on Liberius I consider one of the most mischievous productions ever written. It is, no doubt, extremely able; but it has no more solid value than Whately’s Historic Doubts, and it is calculated to impose upon precisely those who have no notion of the difference between sophistical subtlety and accurate reasoning, Pyrrhonism and sound criticism. It will be time to consider its arguments when they have convinced a single impartial Protestant, like Gieseler or Neander, or a learned Jew, like the editor of the Regesta.
