Sedulius Scottus and Transubstantiation

 Q. Did Sedulius advocate the Roman dogma of transubstantiation?


Sedulius Scottus [Sedulius the Younger] (c. 9th Century A.D.):

'Do this in remembrance of Me.' He left to us His remembrance; just as if any one, setting out on a journey, leaves to him whom he loves some pledge, that as often as he sees it he may call to mind his kindnesses and friendship, since he, if he perfectly love him, cannot behold it without great grief and weeping. (J. P. Minge, Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, [1851], Patrologiæ Latinæ, Tomus CIII, Sedulii Scoti, Collect. In Epist. I Ad Cor., Cap. XI, Col. 151). Here Trans. (J. H. Treat, The Catholic Faith; Or, Doctrines of the Church of Rome Contrary to Scripture and the Teaching of the Primitive Church, [1888], p. 215). Here
