Annotatio I §.IV IMPLICITE Lutheran: Flacius’s complexum / duplex mass — both readings tropical
Flacius Illyricus’s other reading: This complex / this mass of two things is my body.
Both readings are openly tropical — Luther’s as metonymy of container for contained; Flacius’s as synecdoche of part for whole.
Latin Altera Flacii Illyrici: Hoc complexum, seu haec massa ex duabus rebus constans, est corpus meum; quorum utraque apertissimè tropica; prior metonymica, Continentis pro contento, posterior synechdochica, Partis pro toto.
