Am I missing anything obvious in the
secondary literature? I do have a list of "patristic" texts and
authors to check (e.g. I'm told that Hippolytus, Pseudo-Ephraem,
Pseudo-Epiphanius, Isidore of Seville (d. 635), and Bede all
interpreted Revelation 11-13 in
their writings about Antichrist, and that In the second half of
the sixth century
or in the seventh century, an anonymous author wrote De
monogramma [Roger Gryson, ed.
CCSL 107:146-57], an explanation of the number of the beast in
Revelation 13:18), but more such references would be welcome.
I'll be happy to share the results with anyone interested.
Thanks.

Thanks again, Al -- best wishes, George
