Abstract

71
This text considers two fundamental questions: did the hand of Clement of Alexandria write the eighth book of the Stromata, which the Laurentianus manuscript transmits to us? Secondly, did Clement intend it to be the next book of the Stromata following the seventh? The solutions outlined until now by the diverse investigators of the Alexandrian’s work are not convincing. Studying the transmission of the Stromata, the desires expressed by Clement in the final chapters of the seventh book with investigations concerning the content and other internal criteria of the first of three texts that complete the Laurentianus manuscript, lead one to think that these writings form part of the eighth book of the Stromata written by the Christian master.
