The Golden Statue


Quid per statuam auream intelligendum est, quam fecit Nabochodonosor rex

Per regem illum et per statuam intellegimus omnes haereticos, qui fulgore eloquentiae saecularis falsum dogma componunt.


Petrus Archidiaconus  Liber De Diversis Quaestiunculis, Questiones In Danielem

What is to be understood by the golden statue that was made by king Nebuchadnezzar? 1

By that king and statue we understand all heretics who amid the blaze of worldly eloquence fashion their false teachings.


Peter of Pisa, The Book of Diverse Questions, Questions on Daniel


1 Dan 3.1
