D. CALDWELL, Clerk of the PROEMIUM. Catechismus Westmonasteriensis ab urbe Westmo nasterio, quo nonaginta et septem Anglorum Theologi, cum nonnullis Scotorum legatis, congressi sunt, nomen accepit. Καληχησις [Catechësis] Græca dictio est κατηχείσθαι, quod est propriè insonāre, ita ut sonus emissus rěděat ad eum, à quo est emissus; ab x echo, quod notat sănum in convallibus, et montibus ēdĭtům. Metaphorice notat viva voce aliquem instituere, et erudire, et quidem compendiose, et elementaliter. Doctrina igitur Catechetica à sono illo reciproco dīcitur, quia non tantùm est rudioribus tradendă; verùm etiam ab iisdem exigenda et rèpětenda. Synonymum vocabulum est Catechismus, à xaтnxieσa: quæ appellatio apud omnēs natiōnes familiarior est. Docentes Catechesin appellantur Catecheta, et Catechista. Discentes appellantur Catechumeni, etiam dicti fuerunt νεοφύλοι. Catechesis est compendiōsa præcipuorum capitum religiōnis Christianæ, ad vīvam hominis Christiani in vita et in morte consolationem, doctrīna, vīvâ võce tradită. Paulus eam vocat υποτυπωσιν υγιαινόντων λόγων, exei plar sanorum verborum. 2 Tim. i. 13. *A B S MAX 5. 1938 REGULÆ GENERALES NONNULLE PROSODIE. Vocalis ante vocalem est brevis, e. g.-reděo.
