Nemo Sermon on St. Nobody
1 Vir erat in oriente, Nemo nomine, et erat uir ille ut allter Iob inter omnes orientales. There was a man in the East by the name of Nobody, and this man was as another Job among all the Easterners. Magnus namque erat iste Nemo sanctus: magnus in genere et prosapia, magnus in potencia, magnus in scientia, magnus in clemencia <et> in compassione, magnus in honore et reuerentia. For that Nobody was a great saint: great in origin and lineage, great in power, great in learning, great in mercy and in compassion, great in honor and reverence. Hec autem omnia supra dicuntur ex sacra scriptura, cui nephas est reclamandum et contradicendum. More is said of him than all others in sacred scripture, which it is a sin to protest or speak publicly against.
2 Item Nemo, dico, primo fuit magnus in genere et prosapia et similis Ade, qui fuit nec creatus nec genitus sed formatus secundum prophetam dicentem: Dies formabuntur et Nemo in eis. I say first that Nobody was great in origin and lineage and was like Adam, who was not begotten or born but was formed, as the prophet says: Days will be formed and Nobody in them.
c
Fuit eciam de genere militari, unde apostolus: Nemo militans deo. Furthermore he was of a warlike origin, hence the apostle says: Nobody fighting for God. Critical note:
This refers to Ps. 138:16.
c
Imo fuit nobilitate miles qui propriis et non alienis stipendiis militauit, unde illud apostoli: Nemo tenetur propriis stipendiis militare. Indeed, he was a soldier of renown, who served at his own expense and not others’, hence the following, of the apostle: Nobody serves as a soldier at his own expense. Critical note:
This refers to 2 Tim. 2:4.
c
Critical note:
This refers to 1 Cor. 9:7.
3 Eciam fuit de genere non qualicumque sed regali, Ecclesiastici ii: Nemo ex regibus sumpsit exordium. Furthermore, he was not of a common but a regal origin, as in Ecclesiastes 2: Nobody began life among kings.
c
Eciam fuit de cognacione uirginis gloriose eo quod fuerit de stirpe regia et de cognacione Elizabet, Luc 1: Nemo est in cognacione tua. For he was of the relatives of a glorious virgin, who was of a regal lineage, and of the relatives of Elizabeth, as in Luke 1: Nobody is among your relatives. Critical note:
This refers to Wis. 7:5. Adding to the parodic effect, the in-text citation is false, and the quote has been truncated in such a way that the meaning is radically reshaped; ex regibus qualifies nemo in the original context rather than sumpsit exordium, as it does here.
c
Nec fuit solum de stirpe regia sed cum ipso deo legitur semper regnaturus, Ecclesiastici xxi: 'Nemo semper regnaturus.' Nor was he only of a regal lineage, but it is said of him by God himself that he will reign forever, Ecclesiastes 21: Nobody will reign forever. Critical note:
This refers to Luke 1:61.
c
Critical note:
Not only is the in-text citation here false, but this is not actually a biblical quote.
4 Secundo, dixi, iste Nemo magnus fuit in potencia, prius quia aperit quod deus claudit, unde illud: Deus claudit et Nemo aperit. Second, I said this Nobody was great in power, because he opens what God closes, hence the following: God closes and Nobody opens.
c
Iob 12: Si incluserit hominem, Nemo est qui aperiat. Job 12: If God imprisons a man, it is Nobody who can release him. Critical note:

c
Item de manu dei audacter eripit, Iob 2: Cum sit Nemo qui de manu tua possit eruere. He also takes boldly from the hand of God, as in Job 2: Since it is Nobody who can pluck [me] from your hand. Critical note:
This refers to Job 12:14.
c
Item edifficat quod deus destruit, unde Iob: Si deus destruit, Nemo est qui edifficat. He also builds up what God destroys, hence Job: If God destroys it, it is Nobody who can build it up. Critical note:
This refers to Job 10:7. The truncation of the quote gives the cum clause causal force rather than the concessive of the original context.
c
Item ipsum deum superat et uincitt, Ecclesiastici ii: Nemo uincit deum. He also surpasses and conquers God himself, as in Ecclesiastes 2: Nobody conquers God. Critical note:
This refers to Job 12:14.
c
Propterea quod deus fecit, iste Nemo illa potest facere si uoluerit, sicut dixit Nicodemus in ewangelio: Nemo potest ista signa facere que tu facis. For this reason God made it so that this Nobody could do whatever he wanted, just as Nicodemus says in the Gospel: Nobody can do the signs you do. Critical note:
This is not actually a biblical quote.
c
Item gaudium ab apostolis potenter tollit, unde in ewangelio: Et gaudium tuum Nemo tollet a uobis. Critical note:
This refers to John 3:2.
c
Imo quod maius est, animam a Christo rapit: Animam meam Nemo tollit. Indeed, what is greater, he takes away life from Christ: Nobody takes away my life. Critical note: He also powerfully takes away joy from the apostles, hence in the Gospel: And Nobody shall take your joy away from you.
This refers to John 16:22.

Item duobus dominis potest seruire utiliter, quod multis uidetur inpossibile et quod est contro ewangelium, iuxta illud ut habetur in ewangelio: Nemo potest duobus dominis seruire.

This refers to John 10:18.
c
Critical note:
This refers to Mat. 6:24.
5 Tercio dixi quod iste Nemo magnus fuit <in> scientiis. Third, I said that Nobody was great in knowledge. Sciuit utrum amore uel odio dignus sit. He knew whether he was worthy of love or hate.
c
Eciam magnus in scientia, principaliter in grammatica, Prisciano se conformans, ipso attestante: Neminem inueni mihi socium. Furthermore, he was great in learning, chiefly in grammar, describing him thus with Priscian himself affirming: I have found Nobody my peer. Critical note:
This refers to Eccl. 9:1.
c
Fuit enim magnus in arismetrica, secundum illud apostoli: Nemo poterat dinumerare turbam. For he was great in arithmetic, according to the apostle, as follows: Nobody could number the crowd. Critical note:

6 Item fuit magnus in clementia et compassione. He was also great in mercy and compassion. Primum signum compassionis quia Christo fuit compassus in cruce morienti, unde illud Isaie: Ecce quomodo moritur iustus et Nemo considerat. The first sign of his compassion was that he had pity for Christ dying on the cross, hence the following from Isaiah: Behold how the righteous man dies and Nobody looks.
c
Etiam martiribus compassus fuit pro Christo morientibus, iuxta illud: Viri iusti tolluntur et Nemo percipit corde. Furthermore he had pity for the martyrs dying for Christ, according to the following: Righteous men are taken up and Nobody takes it to heart. Critical note:
This is from the sixth responsory for Holy Saturday; cf. Isaiah 57:1-2.
c
Item Lazaro mendicante compassus fuit qui poscrebat uentrem suum saturari de micis que cadebant de mensa diuitis, et Nemo ei dabat. He also had pity for Lazarus the beggar who asked that his belly be filled with crumbs that fell from the wealthy man’s table, and Nobody gave to him. Critical note:
This is drom the sixth responsory for Holy Saturday; cf. Isaiah 57:1-2.
c
Item filio prodigio compassus fuit, Luc iii, qui cupiebat uentrem suum saturare de siliquis quas porci comedebant et Nemo illi dabat. Critical note:

7 Item ut omnem eius dignitatem ita concludam breuiloquio, fuit iste sanctus Nemo ita dignus quod singulari honore honorauit eum dominus per suas salutationes sibi transmittendo: Neminem salutaueritis per uiam. Also, so that I might thus define all his dignity with concision, this Saint Nobody was so worthy because the Lord honored him with a remarkable honor by sending his greetings to him: greet Nobody on the way.
c
Fuit magnus domini consiliarius, ut ibi: Nemini dixeritis uisionem hanc. He was the Lord’s great confidant, as then: tell this vision to Nobody. Critical note:
This refers to Luke 10:4.
c
Eciam ex speciali auctoritate concedit ei ut possit cum duabus contrahere matrimonium, iuxta decretum:'Nemo licet habere duas uxores.'
