[Footnote 24: Zarncke, _Statutenbuecher der Universitaet Leipzig_, p. 39.]

[Footnote 26: _l.c._ pp. xxv, xxvi.]
[Footnote 27: Rashdall, I, 208.]
[Footnote 28: Preface to the _Institutes_; translated by T.C. Sandars,
published by Longmans, Green & Co.]
[Footnote 29: _Code_, Bk. 12; 29, 2.]
[Footnote 30: A.D. 333, _Code_, Bk. 10; 53, 6.]
[Footnote A: Exodus, XVII. C.]
[Footnote B: Summary. Four classes of men are blamed under this caption,
i.e. dialecticians, who wrestle daily with the dialectic art; and
physicists, who raise their eyes athwart the heavens; and versifiers;
and the avaricious, who acquire wealth by fair means and foul, though at
the time they know not to whom they are going to leave it.]
[Footnote C: I.e., incidentally Hugo. Whether the clergy can give
attention to the books of the heathen.]
[Footnote D: And he does this as far as the paragraph, "But on the other
hand," (p. 66).]
[Footnote E: To the same effect C. de long. tem, praescript 1. fin. XXV.
quaest. I. ideo. Arc.]
[Footnote F: Summary. Under this caption Jerome set forth five cases.
For he says that they are drunken with wine who misunderstand and
pervert the sacred scriptures. Secondly, they are drunken with strong
drink who make a wrong use of profane wisdom. Thirdly, he sets forth who
should be called false prophets. Fourthly, who are divine. Fifthly, that
he eats sour grapes who expounds the scriptures otherwise than according
to the truth, even though it be not contrary to the faith.]
[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."]
