P. 127. I have met with no comprehensive treatment of Jewish and Christian polemic against Paganism; Geffcken, _Zwei griech. Apologeten_ (Leipzig, 1907), is chiefly concerned with investigations into the sources. I shall therefore indicate the principal passages on which my treatment is based.—Polemic against images in the Old Testament: Isaiah 44.10 etc.; in later literature: Epistle of Jeremiah; Wisdom of Solomon 13 foll.; Philo, _de decal._ 65 foll., etc.—Euhemerism: Wisdom of Solomon 14.15; Epistle of Aristeas, 135; Sibyll. iii. 547, 554, 723.—Elements and celestial bodies: Wisdom of Solomon 13; Philo, _de decal._ 52 foll.—The tenacity of tradition is apparent from the fact that even Maimonides in his treatise of idolatry deals only with star-worship and image-worship. I know the treatise only from the Latin translation by D. Voss (in G. I. Voss’s _Opera_, vol. v.).—Demons: Deuteron. 32.17; Psalms 106.37; add (according to LXX.) Isaiah 65.11; Psalms 96.5. Later writers: Enoch 19.99, 7; Baruch 4.7. Such passages as Jub. 22, 17 or Sibyll. prooem. 22 are possibly Euhemeristic.—Fallen angels: Enoch, 19.—Philo’s demonology: _de gig._ 6-18, etc. P. 128. St. Paul: 1 Cor. 10.20; comp. 8.4 and Rom. 1.23. P. 129. Image-worship and demon-worship not conciliated: _e.g._ Tertull. _Apologet._ 10-15 and 22-23, comp. 27.—Jewish demonology: Bousset, _Religion d. Judentums_, p. 326 (1st ed.).—Fallen angels: _e.g._ Athenag. 24 foll.; Augustine, _Enchir._ 9, 28 foll.; _de civ. Dei_, viii. 22. P. 130. Euhemerism in the Apologists: _e.g._ Augustine, _de civ. Dei_, ii. 10; vi. 7; vii. 18 and 33; viii. 26.—Euhemerism and demonology combined: _e.g._ Augustine, _de civ. Dei_, ii. 10; vii. 35; comp. vii. 28 fin.—Worship of the heavenly bodies: _e.g._ Aristid. 3 foll.; Augustine, _de civ. Dei_, vii. 29 foll. P. 131. Paganism a delusion caused by demons: Thomas Aq. _Summa theol._ P. ii. 2, Q. 94, art. 4; comp. below, note on p. 135. P. 133. For the following sketch I have found valuable material in Gedike’s essay, _Ueber die mannigfaltigen Hypothesen z. Erklärung d. Mythologie_ (_Verm. Schriften_, Berlin, 1801, p. 61). P. 134. Milton: _Paradise Lost_, i. 506. The theory that the pagan oracles fell mute at the rise of Christianity is also found in Milton, _Hymn on the Morning of Christ’s Nativity_, st. xviii. foll.
