Tractatus Mysteriorum (Treatise on the Mysteries)

by Hilary of Poitiers, ca. 360-367 AD · Latin (late antique) → English

Grade: C+ 371 paragraph pairs · 362 flagged low-confidence

Source is catastrophically OCR-damaged. Late antique text with idiosyncratic Latin preserved only in fragmentary manuscripts, passed through OCR that rendered many characters as garbage ('licbccca' for 'Rebecca', 'babct' for 'habet', 'camclos' for 'camelos'). The translation makes coherent English sentences from this soup, but the reader should understand they are reading heavy interpretive reconstruction rather than a rendering of Hilary's Latin.

Heads up: This work fell to a C+ grade because the historical OCR source was heavily damaged. The English reads naturally, but much of it involves interpretive reconstruction rather than direct rendering. Do not cite passages from this translation without verifying against a clean critical edition.

Strengths

English output reads as clean patristic prose (typology of Rebecca, camels as Gentiles, etc.) and aligns with known Hilarian themes
Structure preserved (paragraph numbering, section breaks)
Pipeline did not hallucinate against the damaged source — samples match what Hilary is known to say in this treatise

Weaknesses

362 low_confidence pairs over 33 chunks — effectively the entire work is flagged
Source text is unreadable in the original column for much of the work (heavy character substitution from bad OCR)
Translation is reconstructive, not directly-from-Latin — the pipeline had to infer Hilary's Latin from patristic context as much as from the OCR
Hilary's idiosyncratic Latin style (late antique, heavily Greek-influenced) is additionally difficult to recover from broken OCR

Reader guidance

Do not treat this as a scholarly translation of Hilary. Treat it as an accessible English paraphrase that is probably faithful to Hilarian themes but cannot be verified against the corrupted source column. For serious study, use the SC (Sources Chrétiennes) edition or Jean-Paul Brisson's 1967 critical text.

Recommended use

Not recommended for public publication without a fresh OCR of a cleaner source edition. If publishing anyway, the reader guidance above must appear prominently on the book page.

English

we may understand those very things themselves in the deeds. But for those it is sufficient to have fitted together some appearance of empty resemblance, since the comparison and its fulfillment must be sought entirely from what follows and solidly from what is present. But every work that is contained in the sacred volumes announces in words, expresses in deeds, and confirms by examples the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom, sent by the Father, a man was born of a virgin through the Spirit. For here, through the whole span of this present age, He generates, or cleanses, or sanctifies, or elects, or distinguishes, or redeems the church through true and perfect prefigurations in the patriarchs: through the sleep of Adam, the flood of Noah, the blessing of Melchizedek, the justification of Abraham, the birth of Isaac, the servitude of Jacob. Through the whole of time, moreover, all prophecy and the working out of the sacrament have been granted for the knowledge of the flesh that He was to assume. And because it has seemed good in this little book to show, in each and every one,

I. The name of the author and the title of the work survive in the subscription of codex A; cf. infra p. 35 and Praef. 14. 3 The words 'liber primus explicit' are read in A f. [folio number]. Cf. infra p. 30 and Praef. II. 4 The beginning of the work in A, whose first folio has been lost, is a matter of conjecture; the initial word 'Multiplex' is preserved in the catalogue of the handwritten library of the Biblioteca Cassinensis, now Vatican Latin codex 3961, which from [date] has been known to [scholar] VII [reference] (Studien III [p.]); the incipit reads as follows: 'Multiplex est scripturarum interpretatio'; there then follow words concerning the opinions of other interpreters, rejected by Hilary, and the pronouns at I. 7 'ipsas illas' must be referred back to the word 'species' or something similar (cf. Praef. I [section]). 7-8 In the first lines [of the text] certain letters are legible only with great difficulty. 11 qui Gam Lin [quem?] 16 eligit [so] — [before] redimit.; somno A — redimit.

Safely, therefore, under the authority of so great an author, we accept that even Adam's name was not taken up without some prefiguration of the future.

3. It follows that while Adam slept, Eve was born from his side and bone; and when he awoke, such a prophecy followed likewise: 'This now is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken from man; and the two shall be in one flesh.' Here I have no difficulty; for the apostle, having recalled this very prophecy, says: 'This is a great mystery.'

-ren. The church therefore is from publicans and sinners and Gentiles; by her own second and heavenly Adam alone not sinning, she herself, a sinner, shall be saved through the generation of children who persevere in faith. But it is not fitting to understand this in such a way that the woman is not redeemed from her sin by the Lord, and she would be baptized superfluously, if she is rather to be freed by the merit of childbearing. But she will not even be safe through the generation of children, since she is not saved unless those who are born have persevered in the faith. And I do not know by what justice one should be made guilty by another's sin or innocent by another's merit.

the discourse should be applied. For, preaching the manifold mercy of God in that which is the first letter to the Corinthians, in sanctifying unbelievers through the marriages of the faithful, he here also through the procreation of believing children teaches that such sanctification is to be bestowed, so that, just as the fellowship of one faithful person benefits the unbeliever through marriage, so the procreation of the faithful would benefit unbelievers.

He demonstrates in these things, which were to be accomplished, the power of His virtue. For there all things converge: the flesh is present, the Spirit flies to it, and nothing of His own works is lost to God, to whom those things that did not yet exist were available for the completion of His own body. Now this sacrament, according to the apostle, has been hidden from the ages in God: that the gentiles should be co-heirs and co-members of the body and co-partakers of His promise in Christ, who, according to the same apostle, is able to conform the body of our humility to the body of His glory.

about to offer a sacrifice. He is therefore displeased by a decision that displeases him, and contrary to God's commandment — that he should be at peace — the probable is slain by the improbable. He is not called to repentance in confession, but he denies it in order to perpetuate his crime; despairing of the resurrection, he reckons that he will be dissolved by death. But groaning and trembling, he is reserved for the judgment of a sevenfold vengeance, and by the earth receiving his brother's blood he is cursed. For the interpretation of the name Cain is 'laughter,' while Abel means 'mourning.'

11. Seth is then born, and in the place of the slain Abel another seed is raised up, Eve saying thus: 'God has raised up for me another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain killed.' The interpretation of the name Seth, moreover, is 'foundation of faith.' And since Abel was righteous and Seth was born in the place of the righteous one, the generation of the saints is always renewed by God, and through successions renewed, it is understood that the church, resting upon faith in Peter as its foundation, will be sustained.

12. Therefore those things that were done in the account of Noah cannot be denied to be full of the virtues of God and of examples of future things. For however dull the mind may be, or the will turned away from understanding the truth, yet there those things were said and done which draw forth a sense of truth even from the unwilling. And so that the prophetic power may be understood in each of the individual effects of events, what is to be compared to what must be briefly set forth. For Noah prefigures the man whom the Lord assumed from the virgin; and, so that this same thing may become known from the words of scripture itself, we must understand what kind of prophecy Lamech his father uttered concerning him: and Lamech begot a son and called his name Noah, saying: this one will give us rest from our works and from the sorrows of our hands and from the earth, which he cursed.

But these things, as I judge, concerning Noah, of whom the discussion treats, cannot perfectly agree with him. For what rest did he bring to the human race, or from what works did he cause men to cease? Indeed, not only is the life of men not destroyed, but the flood is poured out; the earth is restored to his sight as barren, and life is lived in even greater vices. And where will the rest given through Noah be found? In him, however, who is destined to give rest, the power to do so is designated. Furthermore, neither does it befit human nature, nor is it read in scripture, nor is it perceived from the matter itself that Noah did any of these things; but the full things that belonged to Noah...

English

15. Now indeed, concerning the fruit of the planted vineyard, the drunkenness is a figure of the passion. For the Lord transplanted the vineyard from Egypt and planted it; and again: The vineyard of the Lord Sabaoth is the house of Israel. For from the works of His people thus transplanted and planted there is the passion — which Noah's drunkenness represents — and if perhaps anyone thinks it does not pertain to the figure of the Lord's death, he will be refuted by what follows. Although the cup in the gospels shows the death of the passion, yet when there were three sons, the nakedness of the father is seen by one and again covered by two; and although the two covered it with one accord, the third being cursed, yet in the two there is nevertheless a different blessing for a single act of service. Now under these three sons the whole of humanity is shown — that is, those living under the law and those justified under grace and the Gentiles. Of these, the Gentiles mock the death of the Lord and the naked body of God, while in the two who cover the nakedness, the law and grace are contained.

Translator note: Block is moderately OCR-damaged; 'traiistuht' = 'transtulit'; 'dominu*' = 'dominus'; 'ONML' is an OCR corruption of a word in this context likely 'figura' or similar — the sense is recoverable from context; '|iertincrc' = 'pertinere'; 'potntus' = 'potatus' (having drunk); 'cuangeliis' = 'evangeliis'; 'uniueniitaa' = 'universitas'; glossary terms: 'gratia' = grace, 'lex' = law.

who came after him, being subject to him. Therefore, since for those living in the body the dignity of the birthright pertains to life — which Esau, as a prefiguration of the unfaithful people, was selling on account of carnal desires — he does not despair of the present honor of the birthright when he says: "Behold, I am dying — of what use to me are these birthrights?" For before death that birthright which belongs to men was received. Rather, because, bearing in himself the form of the people, the firstborn himself through the law — for this people had been chosen first for the inheritance of God — fell away from the hope of the resurrection and the glory of God, being occupied with the desires of the body, he declared that he had despaired of that honor which the firstborn was bound to hope for after death.

English

of life is not made difficult by its burdens — which are none at all — but by the right of our free will. For it is the delay of human will that prevents the attainment of God's mercy, which is made known from this very passage, because it concerns Esau. For he had sought to be blessed, but his father, moved by a spiritual impulse, left him to the age, permitted him to the sword, and bound him to servitude to his brother. But lest these things should be thought decreed forever and without any return of repentance, he deferred the blessing that Esau had sought to the time when he would have cast off from his neck the yoke of his ruling brother. Therefore each person is left to his own authority to cast off the yoke, because for each individual the right of one's own will is free to believe — worthy then of the blessing when one has transferred oneself from the bondage of irreligion into the freedom of faith.

and faithless to God's promises, it did not deserve to receive the benefit of those promises, and, though it was first elected to be God's people, it lost the honor of election. For silence is kept regarding Israel, first born of the harlot, and all of God's word afterward concerns those born later — those who were rejected beforehand and removed from affection and belonging: those born not to be loved, those begotten not to be claimed. But first the harlot is elected as bride for God in faith and justice; and then those who were not beloved, who were not His own, who came from the harlot's womb — these are called sons of the living God. And this word of God, by which the prophet is commanded to take a harlot as wife, had to be recalled for this reason: because we are taught that all things were prefigured through the deeds of the old testament and were to be accomplished in the Lord and through the Lord — so that from this very fact, that the harlot is joined to the prophet, we might understand that it is shown how Gentile ignorance is joined to prophetic teachings, from which those born from the not-beloved become the beloved, those from not-a-people become a people, those from a harlot mother are called sons of God.

English

a word concerning Rahab, through whom we intended to show the church prefigured in her, we might safely set forth this comparison of the church and the harlot for the understanding of our meaning — since the harlot joined to the prophet is found to be betrothed in hope of eternal justice and faith and knowledge of God as a prefiguration of the church. And in this indeed, that all things were done under Joshua, the great power of prophecy consists. In the renaming of Joshua the complete pattern of the future sacrament was shown. For after God's many words to Moses, when it had been said to him that he should make all things on earth according to the pattern which he had seen on the mountain, Moses gave to Joshua — who had previously been called Auses — the name of one who would be leader of the people going to the land of promise. Commanded by Moses to arrange all things according to the pattern of the heavenly vision, he added to the future leader that name which had already been prepared in the heavens for the eternal leader.

6. For as Joshua was prince of the synagogue, so Christ is prince of the church. As Joshua was leader for obtaining the promised land, so Christ is leader for inheriting the land, concerning which the Lord says: Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. As Joshua came after Moses, so Christ comes after the law. As circumcision with a flint knife was enjoined upon Joshua, so by the Lord — who is both the sharp word penetrating to the division of soul and the cornerstone — circumcision of the heart was spiritually renewed. As Joshua divided the waters, so Christ divides peoples; for He says: I came not to send peace, but division. As Joshua brought up twelve stones from the deep as an eternal testimony and placed them in the earth, and took stones from the earth and placed them in the deep, so Christ both brought forth apostolic teaching from the synagogue and left it in the synagogue even now for those who would use it — since the apostolic teaching had been brought forth as an eternal testimony in the twelve stones from the law, and yet was still to be found in the law.
