(6) Inter haec vel maxime iussistis ut aciem menis ad ultimam partem Hiezechielis prophetae converterem, et quid sibi velt quod de Gog et Magog aliis que gentibus cum eis congregatis sermo propheticus describit diligentius investigarem ... |
| Translation |
(6) Among other things, I believe you have instructed me above all to turn my mind to the last part of the prophet Ezekiel and to examine more closely what is meant by the prophetic discourse about Gog and Magog and the other peoples who are united with them. And I must say in advance that the opinion that has seized countless people in your region as well as in ours is worthless and has no truth in it, according to which it is believed that the people of the Hungri hated by God are Gog and Magog and the other peoples described with them, because and above all because it says: "From the far north you will come up," and: "After many years you will come to a land that has escaped the sword." For there are those who say that the Last Day is now approaching and that the end of the world is imminent, and therefore the Hungri are Gog and Magog, who have never been heard of before, but who have just appeared in recent times. But one must consider more closely which peoples are to come with them: "Son of man, set your face towards Gog and Magog, towards the Grand Prince of Meshech and Tubal;" and a little further down: "Persians and Libians are also present, all armed with shield and helmet, plus Gomer, the house of Thogorma" etc. So if the Hungri are Gog and Magog, where are the peoples who, it is said, are coming with them? For Mosoch himself is the Cappadoces according to Josephus, Tubal the Hiberi or Hispani, or according to the Hebrews the Itali; Persae and Libies are the well-known peoples of the Persians and Ethiopes; Gomer the Galatians, whom we call Gallograeci; Togorma the Friges; the Sabei, whom he afterwards mentions, the Arabes; Dedan the Cartaginenses; Tarsis Cilicians or traders who go to sea. |
