Vít Hušek: Scholia of Clement of Alexandria in the Arabic Gospel Catenae

The fragments of Clement of Alexandria in the Arabic Catenae were first discussed in H. Fleisch’s article (1947/48). Fleisch focused on Vat. ar. 452 and 410 (which are a translation of Curzon’s Coptic catena) and identified and translated into French four fragments on Matthew and one fragment (or two closely connected) on John. The fragments on Matthew (including one omitted by Fleisch) were discussed by F.J. Caubet Iturbe in his edition of the catena, with Spanish translation (1969-70). Recently, all fragments were examined by J. Plátová (2010, 2013, 2014 with Czech translation, and 2017).However, there are more fragments attributed to Clement in Vat. ar. 452 and 410. The present paper will discuss all fragments attributed to Clement: their relation to the Coptic catena and possible authors/sources.
