Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Works of the Right Reverend, George Hooper, D.D, Vol. 1: Sometime Bishop of Bath and Wells If any reader should be so much a stranger to the writings of bishop Hooper, as to doubt the genuineness of any part of the following Collection, I beg leave to inform him, that the several curious pieces, of which it is composed, were all printed by himself in his lifetime, except two; namely, the Notes on Tertullian´s Tract against the Valentinians, and the Comment on the XLIXth chapter of Genesis; both which were put into my hands by his lordship a little before his death; the former, to be transmitted to some learned gentlemen abroad, who were then, as he had been informed, about to print a new edition of Tertullian´s Works, and were to have his leave to make such use of these Notes, in their intended edition, as they should think proper, according to what is mentioned in a short advertisement at the bottom of the 326th page; the other, to be printed by myself here in Oxford, in the manner I have related in the preface to it, p. 521, &c. On which account, the authenticity of these two pieces, though printed after his death, will, it is hoped, be no more called in question, than that of any of those that were printed before; both of them having been left by him with a design of being published; and both therefore, we may justly suppose, having received his finishing hand: provided, nevertheless, that they are faithfully printed from the original manuscripts, as I assure the reader they are; and that with so scrupulous an exactness, that in p. 330 , where some thing seemed to be wanting to complete the sense, I chose rather to leave a blank, with an aliquid forsan desideratur, in the margin, than to presume to guess at what was to be supplied.
