Of the Manifestation of the Newly Born Christ
We must now consider the manifestation of the newly born Christ: concerning which there are eight points of inquiry:(1) Whether Christ's birth should have been made known to all?(2) Whether it should have been made known to some?(3) To whom should it have been made known?(4) Whether He should have made Himself known, or should He rather have been manifested by others?(5) By what other means should it have been made known?(6) Of the order of these manifestations;(7) Of the star by means of which His birth was made known;(8) of the adoration of the Magi, who were informed of Christ's nativity by means of the star.
