[Footnote G: Summary. In this section those priests are blamed by
Jerome, who cause their sons and nephews to read comedies and the verses of the poets; because also to this purpose and to other base purposes they divert the money of the church. Wherefore he says that such priest should be punished as was Eli who fell prostrate from his seat and died because he did not correct his sons. The statements which follow are clear as far as paragraph "But on the other hand" (p. 64).] [Footnote H: The ears of those who misunderstand should be torn off.] [Footnote I: Tropology.] [Footnote J: And _logos_, speech, whence, _tropologia_, i.e. the [moral] application of the language. Hugo. As to this see 76 dist. jejunium. in fin.] [Footnote K: I King. II. C.] [Footnote L: Another reading: in their disputations.] [Footnote M: Another reading: "It pleased God to save his people for his Kingdom" &c.] [Footnote N: Summary. From now on, Gratian shows that the clergy ought to be learned in profane knowledge. And this is shown from six considerations. The first is stated at the beginning. The second begins: "One reads also." The third begins: "In Leviticus." The fourth begins: "The Magi, too." The fifth begins: "Finally." The sixth begins: "Hence also Ambrose."] |
