CLEMENS Alexandrinus, so called to distinguish him from the former, was an eminent father of the church, who flourished at the end of the second and beginning of the third centuries. He was the scholar of Panteneus, and the instructor of Origen. The best edition of his works is that in 2 vols folio, published in 1715, by Archbishop Potter.

CLEMENT V. POPE, the first who made a public sale of indulgences. He transplanted the holy see to Avignon in France; greatly contributed to the suppression of the knights templars; and was author of a compilation of the decrees of the general councils of Vienne, styled Clementines. He died in 1314.
