63 These concentrically set out courtyards struck the dominant note in the Amiatinus’s Temple illustration. 65 In both cases the illustrations are schematic, and emphasize the concentric layout of the different layers of the churches rather than depicting any fine detail. Although Bede gave a prominent place to this testimony of Cassiodorus, he did, however, express reticence about its authority. 66 Still, however reliable the informants of Cassiodorus and Josephus may have been, Bede states clearly that those details of the Temple that come from outside scripture are of historical knowledge (pro historiae cogitatione) only and are not subject to exegetical interpretation: These items of information on the structure of the Temple, in our opinion, should indeed be passed on to the keen reader.
C) Also Jerome: whoever pollutes the holy places ought to make amends twice-over. 87 Whatever their origin, the paraphrase of Jeremiah and the accompanying pseudo-patristic citations reinforce and restate the selection from Paul. All use this short fragment of Paul to link holy places on earth, and behavior in those holy places, to the judgment of God. This sense of unity, however, is artificial. Our author/compiler has done real violence to the sense of the passage from 1 Corinthians in order to use it for this purpose.
45 This is, of course, not to say that Bede ignored other exegetical meanings for the Temple. The historical sense has its place in his commentary, as Bede worked through the difficulties posed by often-opaque architectural descriptions. 46 The interpretative direction of De templo, however, shaped by Hebrews, lead toward anagogy, beyond the second coming to the Temple as a model of heaven, the architecturally specific site of Christian redemption. Bede works through this stage of his analysis with precision.
