Schopenhauer, Nachlass vol. 3. p. 59: An die Stelle der mit Eintritt des Christenthums aufgehobenen Gladiatorspiele ist in der Chrstlichen Zeit und christlichen Ländern das Duell getreten. Jene ein grausames Opfer der allgemeinen Belustigung gebracht; dieses ein grausames opfer dem allgemeinen Vorurtheil gebracht. Jene von Sklaven und Fefangenen; dieses von Freuen und Edlen.
