Annotatio IV §.XII: Damascene — images champion; bread/wine COMMUTANTUR into body and blood
John of Damascus, that age’s chief Doctor of Orthodoxy, fought sharply for images (Calvisius/Helvisus note ~728–730) — and turned toward (or rather preluded) Pontifical errors on the Eucharist.
Orthodox Faith 4.4: as bread and wine naturally change into the eater’s body, so the bread, wine, and water of the proposition are supernaturally CHANGED into Christ’s body and blood — Theophylact must emend him (Whittaker).
Latin
Certe ipse Johannes Damascenus, illius Seculi, præ ceteris, Doctor Celebratissimus, deque Orthodoxia, in suis de ea libris quatuor, ad hodiernorum, Orthodoxiæ monopolium sibi vindicantium, gloriatus modum, uti pro imaginibus scribendo decertavit acriter (annotantibus id Chronologis Celeberrimis, Calvisio & Helviso ad annum Christi 728. & 730., paginis mihi 625. & 112.) ita ad Pontificios de Eucharistia sentiendi loquendique modos erroneos divertit, seu potius hisce prælusisse censendus est, quando de fide Orthodoxa lib. 4. cap. 4. ita scribit: Quemadmodum naturaliter panis per commestionem, & vinum atque aqua, per bibitionem, in corpus & sanguinem edentis & bibentis commutantur & aliud fiunt corpus, præter prius illud corpus; Sic panis & vinum & aqua propositionis, per invocationem & adventum Sancti Spiritûs, supernaturaliter COMMUTANTUR in corpus & sanguinem Christi, à Theophylacto idcirco emendandus, notante Wittakero, pag. 102.
