Abstract
This chapter discusses Clement's quotations generally, examines in some detail the introductory formulae used with them, and compares generally Clement's use of the Old Testament (OT) with that found in the New Testament (NT) and the other Apostolic Fathers. Clement's extensive quotation of the OT is particularly impressive. The fact that quarter of the epistle is given over to direct quotations has led to the description of Clement as a horn quoter. In the NT as whole, as in Clement, the Psalms are the most quoted and Isaiah the second most quoted of writings. Clement introduces nearly all of his OT quotations with introductory words of some kind, although not in every case is the designation formula completely satisfactory. By way of contrast with the quotations in the NT, OT quotations in the Apostlic Fathers has remained largely neglected subject.Keywords: Apostolic Fathers; Clement's quotations; New Testament writings; Old Testament quotations
