Against Heresies — Book 5, Chapter 19

168

The text is here most uncertain and obscure.

The text reads “porro,” which makes no sense; so that Harvey looks upon it as a corruption of the reading “per Horum.”

Book 5 · Chapter 19

A comparison is instituted between the disobedient and sinning Eve and the Virgin Mary, her patroness. Various and discordant heresies are mentioned.
