Codex 43

[John Philoponus, On the Hexaemeron]

Read the treatise of John Philoponus on the Hexaemeron.The Six Days’ Work of the Creation.In this his style is pure and clear and better than usual. He agrees in the main with Basil the Great, but everywhere opposes Theodore of Mopsuestia, who, taking up the same subject, wrote his Interpretation of Genesis,which Philoponus in turn endeavours to refute.
