Excerpt from De Eleusiniorum Ratione Publica Commentatio
Mystis certe non ante esse subortos quam ipsis mythis adhiberi coepti essent; sed gliscente allegoria, tum sane fieri non potuisse, quin sacerdotes, nobili loco nati et eadem qua alii cives politiores disciplina imbuti, ipsi quoque intelligendi calliditatem induerent. Itaque eos percontantibus, si quem idoneum haberent, interpretationes tradidisse, verum extra actus sacros privatim; plures tamen suspi ciones et pro cujusque ingenio ac doctrina varias ipsos mystas concepisse. Hino illud esse, quod de argu'mento in mysteriis tradito alii alia prodant vel significent. Benique laudes Eleusiniorum magnificas non aliunde repetendas quam ex eo sensu, quo res divina, praesertim tam splendido ornata elata, animos percutiat atque quasi numinis praesentia extollat. Haec igitur fere Lobeckius in primo, qui de Eleusiniis est, libro. Quae ut persequeretur, labor erat admodum multiplex, quo retractaret eorum licentiam, qui plu rima miscuerant. Nam neque aetates quicquam discriminatas vide - bat sive rerum sive auctorum, et confusa quae diversissima essent mysteriorum genera. Neque solum rerum historia negligenter erat habita, sed ne interpretandi quidem levitas aberat. Nam qaum norma logices tritissima vetet ex comparatione reciprocare praedicata, tamen multi saepe, quoniam scriptores passim phi1030phiae disciplinam et profectus cum initiatione et epoptia compararunt, conclusione prava philosophiae naturam ac modos rursum mysteriis intulerant. Quid? Quod usus vocabulorum, quibus sacra sollemnia appellantur vel distinguuntur, a neminedum exactus fuit.
