"The Three Additions to Daniel, a Study"

Origen thinks that the motive of Susanna's exclusion
was its relation of particulars discreditable to the Jewish nation. But
the Bishop truly says, "there is no foundation for this improbable
fancy." It is, however, maintained by Philippe in Vigouroux' _Dict._
(_cf._ 'Title and Position,' p. 109).
Origen also asserts the canonicity of Susanna in _Hom. in Levit._ ?§ 1
(middle): "Sed tempus est nos adversus improbos presbyteros uti sanct?¦
Susann?¦ vocibus, quas illi quidem repudiantes, historiam Susann?¦ de
catalogo divinorum voluminum desecrarunt. Nos autem et suscipimus, et
opportune contra ipsos proferimus, dicentes 'Angusti?¦ mihi undique,'"
etc. (v. 22).
Again, Origen refers to the matter in his _In Matth?¦um Commentariorum
Series_. He quotes Daniel's words in v. 55, "angelus Domini habens
gladium scindet te medium," and also "ausi sumus uti in hoc loco, Dan.
exemplo, non ignorantes quoniam in Hebr?¦o positum non est, sed quoniam
in ecclesiis tenetur. Alterius autem temporis est requirere de
huiusmodi" (Migne, _Patr.
