Remigius of Auxerre — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 4:5-7

Medieval A.D. 908
Remigius of Auxerre · c. A.D. 841–908
“The pinnacle is the seat of the doctors; for the temple had not a pointed roof like our houses, but was flat on the top after the manner of the country of Palestine, and in the temple were three stories. It should be known, that the pinnacle was on the floor, and in each story was one pinnacle. Whether then he placed Him on the pinnacle in the first story, or that in the second, or the third, he placed Him whence a fall was possible.”
