[25] Schrader, _Die Keilenscheiften und das alte Testament_, Giessen, 2nd ed., 1883. [26] ... raconta ses rapts d’enfants, ses hideuses tactiques, ses stimulations infernales, ses meurtres impétueux, ses implacables viols; obsédé par la vision des ses victimes, il décrivit leurs agonies ralenties ou hâtées, leurs appels et leurs râles; il avoua s’être vautré dans les élastiques tiédeurs des intestins; il confessa qu’il avait arraché des cœurs par des plaies élargies, ouvertes, telles que des fruits mûrs. _Là-Bas_, J. K. Huysmans, c. xviii. [27] Healey’s translation, 1610. [28] _De Magia_, XLVII. [29] _The Primitive Inhabitants of Scandinavia_, Sven Nilsson. 3rd edition. 1868. p. 241. [30] The original title is κατὰ πασῶν αἱρέσεων ἔλεγχος. A Refutation of all Heresies. The first book had long been known; books IV-X, which had been discovered a short time previously, were first published in 1851 (Oxford) by Miller as the work of Origen, but edited by Duncker and Schneidewin as by Hippolitus, eight years later, Göttingen, 1859. The first chapters of the Fourth, and the whole of the Second and Third Books are still missing. [31] Theocritus, II. 121. Κρατὶ δ’ ἔχων λεύκαν Ἡρακλέος ἱερὸν ἔρνος. Vergil. _Eclogue_ VIII, 61: Populus Alcidæ gratissima. _Æneid_, VIII, 276: Herculea bicolor quem populus umbra.... [32] Pliny (_Historia Naturalis_, XV. 86) says walnuts were thrown, and it appears from an inscription that this custom prevailed on birthdays as well as at weddings. But originally, at any rate, chestnuts were also used. In time the meaning became obscured, and as nuts were used in all kinds of games they merely became synonymous with playthings. [33] The play is referred to in 1520 as _Messer Nicia_, and the first edition printed at Florence _circa_ 1524 has the title _The Comedy of Callimaco and Lucrezia_, but the Prologue definitely gives the name _La Mandragola_ (_The Mandrake_), and this is used in all later editions. The story has been imitated by La Fontaine; the play itself (which is still acted in Italy) has been repeatedly translated, at least six times into French and five times into German, but as yet no English version has been published.
