Excerpt from Sancti Clementis Romani Ad Corinthios Epistulae, Versio Latina Antiquissima

Mirum sane eruditi quantum studii superiori bus annis consumpserint ln Epistula Clementis Romani: 1mmo nem1ni mirum, quis summam viri antiquitatem paremque apud pr1scos Chris tianos opusculi auctoritatem meminerit. Neque id sine eventu fuit cum enim textus Epistulae usque ad mostram aetatem ex codice uno Alexan drino hauriendus esset, coque vetustissimo qui dem, sed partim tineis obeso, partim ob deper ditum folium lacuna magna laborante, intra hos viginti annos contigit ut Philotheus Bryennius, metropolita Serrensis (nunc Nicomediensis), Constantinopoli m bibliotheca monasterii patri archalis Hierosolymitani alterum codicem 1nve niret a. MLVI scriptum, cuius ope illas codicis Alexandrini rimas, omnibus qui in huiuscemodi studiis versantur plaudentibus, tandem explevit. Porro vix ille opus typis vulgaverat, cum ecce iterum integra Epistula reperitur in codice Syriaco, quem a. MCLXX a monacho Edesseno exaratum Universitas Cantabrigiensis nuper sibi comparavit. Nec mora, faciles divitias cer tatim invasere ex Germanis praecipue et Anglis.
