ANTILOGY, Antilogia, a Contradiction between two Expressions or Passages in an Author. See CONTRADICTION. Tirinus has published a large Index of the seeming Antilogies in the Bible; i.e., of Texts which apparently contradict each other, but which are explained and reconciled by him, in his Comments on the Bible. A Master of the Oratory in Italy, has attempted the like; but has done little more than rehearse what occurs of that kind in the Principal Commentators. The Word is Greek, ἀντιλογία, q.d. Contrary Saying.
