[Footnote N:  Summary.  From now on, Gratian shows that the clergy ought to be learned in profane knowledge.  And this is shown from six considerations.  The first is stated at the beginning.  The second begins:  “One reads also.”  The third begins:  “In Leviticus.”  The fourth begins:  “The Magi, too.”  The fifth begins:  “Finally.”  The sixth begins:  “Hence also Ambrose.”]

[Footnote O:  For as husks load the belly and fill it but do not satisfy, so also this wisdom does not free from spiritual hunger nor banish blindness.  But it oppresses with the weight of sins and with the guilt of hell.  Whoever therefore, for the removing of the blindness of ignorance seeks to learn other arts and knowledge desires to fill his belly, as it were, with husks.  According to Hugo.]

[Footnote Q:  Summary.  Certain men forbade Christians to read the books of the gentiles but Bede blames them, saying that they can well be read without sin because profit may be derived from them, as in the cases of Moses and Daniel, and also of Paul, who incorporated in his Epistles verses of the poets, e.g.  “The Cretans &c. &c.”]

[Footnote R:  Summary.  Gratian solves the contradiction by saying that one ought to learn profane knowledge in addition, not for pleasure but for instruction, in order that the useful things, found therein may be turned to the use of sacred learning.  Hence Gregory blamed a certain bishop, not for acquiring profane knowledge but because, for his pleasure, he expounded grammar instead of the Gospel.]

[Footnote S:  Another reading to the Unknown God, i.e. dative case.]

[Footnote T:  Dionysius was converted by the preaching of Paul.]

[Footnote U:  The Apostle used sentences from the poets.]

[Footnote V:  Summary.  This section is divided into two parts.  In the first part it is set down that it is not blameworthy if one learns grammar and logic in order to distinguish the true and the false.  In the second part which begins with “Geometry and Arithmetic” it is set down that the knowledges of the quadrivium have a truth of their own.  But they are not the knowledges of piety, and are not to be so applied.  But the Old and the New Testaments are knowledges of piety, and are to be applied.  And grammar, if applied to good uses may be made profitable.]
