Jung also found the term in Adversus haereses by Irenaeus: ‘The creator of the world did not fashion these things directly from himself but copied them from archetypes outside himself.’ Although St Augustine does not use the word ‘archetype’ he nevertheless speaks of ‘ideae principales, which are themselves not formed … but are contained in the divine understanding’ (Jung 1934/1954: par. 5).
