| Summary: | In the opening piece of Dom Morin's edition of the sermons of St, Caesarius of Arles, his Admonitio … vel suggestio humilis, addressed at large to his fellow-bishops, we find a passage in which the author's intention seems not to have been clarified by the editor's emendation. Caesarius, having exhorted his readers to the fulfilment of their pastoral duties and against the desire for the wealth of the world, at length reminds them of their calling to be saints — a name, sanctus, suited indeed to the whole Christian people, but especially appropriate to bishops — and continues his argument in the following words (those particularly in question here italicized): … quia nobis hoc nomen aptatur, quid proprietas nominis istius indicare videatur debemus inquirere. Interpretatio nominis istius nisi per linguam graecam non potest inveniri. Sanctus graece deus AIUS interpretatur, non terrenus. Si ergo plus de caelestibus quam de terrenis solliciti simus, non incongrue nobis hoc nomen imponitur. |
