An previous, self-described "very conservative evangelical" reviewer criticized the essays during this assortment for his or her "questionable" liberal conclusions. it is curious how assorted humans can learn a similar textual content and arrive at diversified conclusions. my very own interpreting of this anthology is that the essays attempt (perhaps overly a lot, in reality) to stick in the course of the line.

Example text
It is possible that the original Book II of the Sacra Parallela comprised more than 200 chapters. The third book is in an even worse state of preservation with only 34 of the 70 parallela surviving in the late codex Athous Iviron 382 (fifteenth century). Still, this book was amply used in the compilation of sacro‐profane florilegia such as those of Pseudo‐Maximus and Pseudo‐Antonius, so a little more than what is preserved by the Athonite manuscript can be added to it (Richard 1964: 476–480). Many of the particular Damascenian florilegia have already been mentioned in the treatment of the three books of the Sacra Parallela, so here I simply list them.
One may gain an idea of the manner in which its contents are arranged by looking at the example in the introductory paragraph of this section. Here, I add the titles of some of its chapters: 1. On Virtuous and Immoral Living; 2. On Prudence; 3. On Purity and Chastity; 8. On Good Deeds and Charity; 9. On Power and Authority; 10. On Accusations and Slander. 19. On Wrath and Temper; 20. On Silence and Secrets; 21. On Over‐Anxiety and Calmness; 23. On Filial Piety and Parental Love; 24. On Fear; 25.

Given the variety and the breadth of this practice, the term florilegium may be narrower than the more generic term anthology, usually applied to collections with pre dominantly secular content. The latter term covers items such as the Greek Anthology, an extensive collection of epigrams (Cameron, 1993), or the collection of excerpts by the fifth‐century erudite Ioannes Stobaeus entitled Anthologion (Chadwick 1969: 1140).
