Abstract
The present paper offers a comprehensive examination of how Clement appropriates the Philonic doctrine of the divine powers. It first examines the biblical basis of the doctrine, in which Pauline influence is superimposed on Genesis. It then successively treats the subject in the areas of theology, cosmology and the doctrine of creation, including the creation of humanity. For Clement experience of the divine power (usually in the singular) leads to knowledge of God (to the extent possible) and intimacy with him through the Son. Clement's Philonic heritage has enabled him to develop a positive and above all a dynamic theology.

Abstract
The treatise De mundo was the first Philonic text to be printed in 1497. Although it was not written by Philo, it may be legitimately called “Philonic” in the sense that it almost entirely consists of excerpts from his authentic writings. It has been extensively studied by editors engaged in preparing critical editions of Philo’s works, but since 1853 has not been edited and also not studied in its own right. The main body of the article analyses the work, which consists of two distinct parts. The first shorter part is a cento of seventeen excerpts from five mainly allegorical treatises. Their contents are summarized and annotated. The second longer part is basically an epitome of Philo’s treatise De aeternitate mundi. The contents of this part are also summarized, but less fully. Conclusions are then drawn on the work’s author, method, literary form, interests and purpose. Most likely it was produced in the late Byzantine period. The author is not interested in allegory, but rather aims to compile the outline of a systematic theology and cosmology based on Philonic texts. He fails, however, to resolve the interpretative crux of the treatise he uses most, namely that its arguments appear to support the Aristotelian view that the cosmos is ungenerated and indestructible.
