Works Hippolytus of Rome (170-235) In initium Isaiae (fragmentum) On the Prophet Isaiah

II.

From the Discourse of St. Hippolytus on the beginning of Isaiah. 1

Under Egypt he meant the world, and under things made with hands its idolatry, and under the shaking its subversion and dissolution. 2 And the Lord, the Word, he represented as upon a light cloud, referring to that most pure tabernacle, in which setting up His throne, our Lord Jesus Christ came into the world to shake error.


  1. [Theodoret, in his First Dialogue.] ↩

  2. The text is evidently corrupt: Kurion de ton Logon, nephelen de kouphen to katharotaton skenos, etc. The reference must be to ch. xix. 1. ↩
