Divisio textus.
Supra egit Magister de separatione facta in morte Christi. In hac vero parte agit de consequentibus ad separationem. Dividitur autem pars ista in tres partes. In quarum prima inquirit Magister, utrum Christus fuerit homo in triduo. In secunda vero, ubi fueritp449-1 in illo triduo, ibi: Hic quaeritur, si Christus in morte alicubi erat homo. In tertia vero ad maiorem explanationem inquirit, utrum concedendum sit, illum hominem descendisse de caelo, ibi: Solet etiam quaeri, si congruenter dici possit etc.
Prima pars, in qua inquirit, utrum Christus in triduo fuerit homo, dividitur in duas partes. In quarum prima opponit. In secunda dissolvit, ibi: Quibus respondemus, quia, licet homo mortuus fuerit etc.
Secunda vero pars principalis, in qua inquirit, ubi fuerit homop449-2, similiter habet duas. In quarum prima inquirit, ubi fuerit secundum humanitatem. In secunda vero inquirit, ubi fuerit secundum sui totalitatem, ibi: Et ideo[^p449-3] totus eodem tempore erat etc.
Similiter tertia pars, in qua inquirit, utrum filius hominis descenderit de caelo, habet duas partes. In quarum prima quaestionem praedictam determinat. In secunda vero praedeterminata in totali parte ista epilogat, ibi: Haec quidem de corrigia calceamenti etc. Quae quidem pars dividi potuit contra totam partem praecedentem, sed sub aliis partibus diffusioribusp449-4 comprehensa fuit ad vitandam divisionis confusionem.
Tractatio quaestionum.
Ad intelligentiam autem huius partis incidunt hic sex dubitabilia.
Primo quaeritur, utrum Christus in triduo fuerit homo.
Secundo quaeritur, utrum secundum quod homo, fuerit in loco determinato.
Tertio quaeritur de requietione corporis in sepulcro.
Quarto quaeritur de descensu animae ad inferos.
Quinto quaeritur de liberatione animarum de inferno.
Sexto et ultimo quaeritur de traductione animarum ad caelos.
## Commentary on Distinction XXII. On the things consequent upon the separation in the death of Christ.
Here it is asked whether in that three-day span, etc.
Division of the text.
Above the Master treated of the separation effected in the death of Christ. But in this part he treats of the things consequent upon the separation. Now this part is divided into three parts. In the first of these the Master inquires whether Christ was man during the three-day span. In the second, where he wasp449-1 during that three-day span, there: Here it is asked whether Christ in death was anywhere man. In the third, for greater explanation, he inquires whether it is to be conceded that that man descended from heaven, there: It is also wont to be asked whether it can fittingly be said, etc.
The first part, in which he inquires whether Christ was man during the three-day span, is divided into two parts. In the first of these he raises the objection. In the second he resolves it, there: To which we reply that, although the man died, etc.
The second principal part, in which he inquires where the man wasp449-2, likewise has two. In the first of these he inquires where he was according to his humanity. In the second he inquires where he was according to his totality, there: And therefore[^p449-3] he was wholly at the same time, etc.
Likewise the third part, in which he inquires whether the son of man descended from heaven, has two parts. In the first of these he determines the aforesaid question. In the second he gives an epilogue upon what was predetermined in this whole part, there: These things indeed concerning the strap of the sandal, etc. And this part could have been divided over against the whole preceding part, but it was comprehended under the other more diffusep449-4 parts in order to avoid confusion of division.
Treatment of the questions.
Now for the understanding of this part there here fall six points to be examined.
First it is asked whether Christ was man during the three-day span.
Second it is asked whether, according as he is man, he was in a determinate place.
Third it is asked concerning the repose of the body in the sepulcher.
Fourth it is asked concerning the descent of the soul to the dead.
Fifth it is asked concerning the liberation of the souls from hell.
Sixth and last it is asked concerning the leading-over of the souls to heaven.
- Pro fuerit homo edd. 1, 2 fuerit in illo triduo, Vat. fuerit illo triduo. Deinde edd. 1, 2 cum bene multis codd. bis fuit pro fuerit.For fuerit homo ("was man") editions 1 and 2 read fuerit in illo triduo ("was in that three-day span"), the Vatican edition fuerit illo triduo. Then editions 1 and 2, with very many codices, twice read fuit for fuerit.
- Pro fuerit homo edd. 1, 2 fuerit in illo triduo, Vat. fuerit illo triduo. Deinde edd. 1, 2 cum bene multis codd. bis fuit pro fuerit.For fuerit homo ("was man") editions 1 and 2 read fuerit in illo triduo ("was in that three-day span"), the Vatican edition fuerit illo triduo. Then editions 1 and 2, with very many codices, twice read fuit for fuerit. (Quaracchi's single textual-variant note n. 2 covers both occurrences of the fuerit locus in the Divisio.)
- In textu Magistri Et utique, cod. 1 Et utique ideo; sed infra in dub. 2 omnes codd. et edd. pro ideo recte utique.In the text of the Master, Et utique ("And indeed"); codex 1 reads Et utique ideo; but below in doubt 2 all the codices and editions rightly read utique for ideo.
- In edd. desideratur diffusioribus, pro qua voce cod. M substituit difficilioribus.In the editions diffusioribus ("more diffuse") is wanting, in place of which word codex M substitutes difficilioribus ("more difficult").
