Excerpt from Modern Criticism and Clement's Epistles to Virgins (First Printed 1752) Or Their Greek Version Newly Discovered in Antiochus Palaestinensis: With Appendix, Containing Newly Found Versions of Fragments Attributed to MelitoThe charge now brought against modern criticism, in its relation to Clement's Epistles to Virgins and certain Frag ments attributed to Melito, is simply that its exponents, though amply provided with the gifts and graces of scholarship and learning, have neglected to search for all possible evidence bearing upon the genuineness, authorship and antiquity of documents before proceeding to appeal to and expound them. If the author should be driven, in the interests of truth, to publish the remainder of his reply to the criticisms of the learned world upon Peregrinas Proteasf - or rather upon the author's denial therein of the antiquity of Clement's Epistles to the Corinthians, - it will be necessary for him to repeat this accusation and to produce his proofs. Ifodern Criticism and Clement's Epistles to the Corinthians, when written, must neces sarily have very much in common with Modern Criticism and Clement's Epistles to Virgins. The writer entertains a hope - a vain one, no doubt, if the past2 is any guide as to the future that this reply may now be unnecessary, and that critics may be induced by the following pages to consider'for themselves whether the commonly received opinions concerning Clement's Epistles to the Corinthians can be upheld in the face of facts which they will have no difficulty in discovering if they will trouble themselves to look for them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
