_INTRODUCTORY NOTICE._
Titus Flavius Clemens, the illustrious head of the Catechetical School
at Alexandria at the close of the second century, was originally
a pagan philosopher. The date of his birth is unknown. It is also
uncertain whether Alexandria or Athens was his birthplace.[1]
On embracing Christianity, he eagerly sought the instructions of its
most eminent teachers; for this purpose travelling extensively over
Greece, Italy, Egypt, Palestine, and other regions of the East.
