From the Dissertation of Francesco Bianchini on the Paschal Canon of St Hippolytus (in Gallandi, Bibliotheca ve⟨terum⟩ Patrum, vol. III).

SYNOPSIS. I. The various opinions of learned men on the author of this Chronicle. II. Some have thought that it should be ascribed to Hippolytus, bish⟨op …⟩ martyr. III. But its author seems to be held to be either Heron, a Christi⟨an …⟩ martyr who had been a philosopher, or rather an Anonymous writer who lived under Alexander Severus. IV. Cang⟨…⟩ opinion that Hippolytus is the author of the Chronicle is set out. V. But in his computations the Chronicle's a⟨uthor …⟩ differs from Hippolytus. VI. This is proved by examples brought forward. VII. ⟨…⟩ of this demonstration of Bianchini's. VIII. The various editions of the said Chronicle.

I. Some learned men have thought that among the works of St Hippolytus, bishop and martyr, ⟨…⟩ should be reckoned ⟨the Chro⟩nicle which an Anonymous writer, who flourished at the end of the reign of Alexander Severus, A⟨…⟩ contemporary, is found to have written about the year of Christ CCXXXVI. This opinion, above all others, the most distinguished man Du Cange ⟨…⟩ embraced. But Pearson and Dodwell went over to another; and of them ⟨…⟩ held that the Anonymous writer with whom we are dealing wrote a few years after Hippolytus, since otherwise ⟨…⟩ martyr and bishop is known to have begun his Cycle in the first year of the same Alexander Severus. ⟨…⟩, he says, our Anonymous has many things which seem to agree with the chrono⟨logical⟩ hypotheses of Hippolytus ⟨…⟩ observed in the same Paschal Canon, and such that it is right for us to suspect that the Anonymous ⟨owed⟩ them to Hippolytus. To the opinion of these learned men, indeed, we are ⟨…⟩ to come above all by what the illustrious prelate Francesco set out quite admirably on this matter. Thus, ther⟨efore …⟩

II. ‘We were grieving that that book had perished in which Hippolytus had set out the Demonstration of the Times of the Pasch, as on the Table. For that work, had it come down to us entire, ought to be held ⟨…⟩ the most precious of all ⟨after⟩ the sacred Scriptures. For before Hippolytus no one had arranged the sacred annals in a fixed ⟨…⟩ or reduced them to the rule of a Cycle; and this he accomplished ⟨…⟩ of Christian writers. Our grief was met by that most learned man, Mr du Cange, in the latest edition of the Paschal Chr⟨onicle⟩, where, having discussed a great many things about Hippolytus's Canon and his Commentary on the Pasch with the solid eru⟨dition⟩ he commands in every kind of letters, he seemed to bring us into some hope of finding Hippolytus's book ⟨…⟩ in that codex which Canisius in volume III of the Antiquae lectiones, and Labbe in the first ⟨volume⟩ of the Bibliotheca Ma⟨…⟩, had brought to light for the public good of ⟨…⟩.

Cap. XVIII Canisii. Sequitur Sectio XII Labbei.

Chapter 18 of Canisius. Section 12 of Labbe follows.

« A generatione autem Christi post XXX annum cum passus Dominus, Pascha celebratur: ipse enim erat justum Pascha.

"And from the birth of Christ, after the 30th year, when the Lord suffered, the Pasch is celebrated: for He Himself was the just Pasch.

« A passione autem Domini usque in XIII annum Imperatoris ALEXANDRI Caesaris anni CCVI servatum est Pascha quod in commemorationem Christi servatur a nobis.

"And from the passion of the Lord up to the 13th year of the Emperor Alexander Caesar, for 206 years, the Pasch has been kept which is kept by us in commemoration of Christ.

« Fiunt igitur omnes anni ab Adam usque in hunc diem anni quinquies mille DCCXXXVIII.

"So all the years from Adam up to this day come to five thousand 738 years.

The intervals thus fixed in the manuscripts of the Anonymous do not everywhere correspond to the other sum of years, which is gathered from the individual Epochs of the Kings or of the Judges that we read in the same little work. And so that every discrepancy may be plain at a single glance, I shall display in the following table the years of the Judges as well as of the Kings one by one, as they are arranged in the manuscript.

So, from the Epochs just cited, the years from the beginning of the reign of Ezechias to the 18th of Josias are only a hundred.

Idem intervallum juxta summam superiorem habetur annorum 114. Neutrum vero consentit cum marmore Hippolyti: in quo Epocha simplex disjungit eadem Paschata annis 112, et Epocha juxta Danielem eadem separat annis 113.

The same interval, according to the sum above, is taken as 114 years. But neither agrees with the marble of Hippolytus: in which the simple Epoch sets the same Paschs apart by 112 years, and the Epoch according to Daniel separates them by 113 years.

Multo evidentior est numerorum discordia, quae apparet in scriptis exemplaribus, si conferatur intervallum Paschatis Josue a Paschate Ezechiae. Anni 592 a Paschate Josue ad initium David add⟨iti⟩ annis 342 ab initio David ad initium Ezechiae, constituunt summam 934.

Much more evident is the disagreement of the numbers that appears in the written copies, if one compares the interval of the Pasch of Josue from the Pasch of Ezechias. The 592 years from the Pasch of Josue to the beginning of David, added to the 342 years from the beginning of David to the beginning of Ezechias, make up a sum of 934.

At in summa capitis XVII Canisiani, et sectionis XII Labbeani codicis idem intervallum minuitur plus quam saeculis quatuor: nam constituitur intervallum ab Josue Paschate ad Pascha Ezechiae annorum 4⟨ ⟩

But in the sum of chapter 17 of the Canisius manuscript and of section 12 of the Labbe manuscript, the same interval is reduced by more than four centuries: for the interval from the Pasch of Josue to the Pasch of Ezechias is set at 4⟨ ⟩ years.

VII. His anachronismis et antichronismis (si fas est dicere) non laborat marmor Hippolyti: in quo ⟨vi⟩dimus, intervalla ex duplici computo. tam « simplici, » quam « juxta Danielem, » optime consentire cum rationibus celebriorum Chronologorum, dum intervallum ab Exodo ad Pascha Ezechiae ex cellularum dispositione deprehenditur annorum 793, Juxta simplicem calculum, vel 791 « juxta Danielem: » adeoque haberi distantiam Ezechiae a Paschate Josue 749 ex calculo simplici, et 750 ex calculo juxta Danielem. Neque enim aliter inciderent in cellulas lemmata illa, EXODUS, et JESUS, et EZECHIAS nisi septem solidae Periodi minores annorum 112, et praeterea anni 9 supponantur numerari a Paschate Exodi ad Pascha Ezechiae; et Periodi minores septem, imminutae cellulis sive annis 32 juxta simplicem calculum, vel 33 « juxta Danielem » dicantur interesse a Paschate Josue ad Pascha Ezechiae: cum unaquaeque periodus minor, ubi solida sit, eamdem repetat cellulam: et unum quodque saeculum cellulis XII retrocedat in annorum consignatione. Necesse igitur est annos interpositos ab Exodo ad Ezechiam haberi ex hisce cellulis « juxta Danielem » 7, vel 119, vel 231, vel 243, vel 345, vel 457, vel 569, vel 681, quod nemo dixerit nulla idonea auctoritate permotus: vel demum 793 quod asserimus, cum et reliqua consentiant cum peritiorum Chronologorum rationibus, ex Bibliorum sacrorum numeris rite collectis. Quae cum diligenter expensa fuerint, constabit, ut puto, facilius posse restitui ex marmoreo Chronico vitiatos numeros Anonymi Hippolyto aequalis, quam ut Hippolyti Chronicon in marmoreis cellulis sibi optime constans, ad vitiatos codicum numeros inter se dissidentes, et ab anonymis auctoribus acceptos, tum ab anonymis

7. The marble of Hippolytus does not suffer from these anachronisms and antichronisms (if one may so speak): in it we have seen that the intervals by the twofold reckoning, the "simple" as well as that "according to Daniel," agree excellently with the computations of the more celebrated Chronologers, since the interval from the Exodus to the Pasch of Ezechias is found from the arrangement of the cells to be 793 years according to the simple reckoning, or 791 "according to Daniel:" and so the distance of Ezechias from the Pasch of Josue is taken as 749 by the simple reckoning, and 750 by the reckoning according to Daniel. For those headings, EXODUS, and JESUS, and EZECHIAS, would not fall into their cells otherwise, unless seven complete lesser Periods of 112 years, and in addition 9 years, are supposed to be counted from the Pasch of the Exodus to the Pasch of Ezechias; and seven lesser Periods, diminished by 32 cells or years according to the simple reckoning, or by 33 "according to Daniel," are said to lie between the Pasch of Josue and the Pasch of Ezechias: since each lesser period, when it is complete, repeats the same cell, and each century goes back by 12 cells in the recording of the years. It is therefore necessary that the years interposed from the Exodus to Ezechias be taken from these cells "according to Daniel" as 7, or 119, or 231, or 243, or 345, or 457, or 569, or 681, which no one would assert, being moved by no fit authority to do so: or finally 793, which we assert, since the rest also agrees with the computations of the more expert Chronologers, duly gathered from the numbers of the sacred Bible. When these things have been carefully weighed, it will be clear, I think, that the corrupted numbers of the Anonymous contemporary with Hippolytus can more easily be restored from the marble Chronicle than that the Chronicle of Hippolytus, entirely consistent with itself in its marble cells, [should be adjusted] to the corrupted numbers of the manuscripts, which disagree among themselves and were received from anonymous authors, then by anonymous

Latine redditos inflectantur. Velim potius, ut ex fide hujus Canonis Hippolytei corr⟨i⟩gantur menda scriptorum codicum. Facile enim intelligitur deesse numeros in scriptis Chronicis capite XVIII Canisiano inter Epochas Exodi et Ezechiae. Fortasse intermedia aliqua jacebat Epocha ab Exodo ad initium David : tum illa subsequebatur ab initio David ad Ezechiam, quae corruptis numeris non sibi constat. Omitto alios antichronismos recensere ex variatis lectionibus Canisiani et Labbeani codicis ; quas colligent Chronographi, qui conferant summas annorum a Mundi conditu putatorum ex anonymo : unde apparebit distantia a Jesu Nave ad Davidis initium juxta Canisianum exemplar ann. 555, juxta Labbeanum 495, quarum neutra respondet annis in Judicum et Regum numero recensitis. Commendat igitur maxime nostri marmoris fidem, et praestantiam operis Hippolytei, comparatio cum codicibus instituta : et desiderium vehementius intendit operum tanti Patris et Martyris : quae integra c⟨o⟩ncidissent, nisi per⟨e⟩nnitatem aliquam ejusdem doctrinae reliquiis praeclarum hujusce monum⟨e⟩nti vestigium comparasset. Hactenus V. C.

rendered into Latin are inflected. I would rather that the errors of the written codices be corrected on the authority of this Canon of Hippolytus. For it is easily understood that numbers are missing in the written Chronicle, in Canisius's chapter 18, between the Epochs of the Exodus and of Hezekiah. Perhaps there lay some intermediate Epoch from the Exodus to the beginning of David: then there followed that one from the beginning of David to Hezekiah, which, its numbers being corrupt, is not consistent with itself. I omit to review other anachronisms arising from the varying readings of the Canisian and Labbean codex; these the Chronographers will gather, who are to compare the sums of years reckoned from the foundation of the World in the anonymous author: whence the distance from Jesus son of Nave to the beginning of David will appear to be, according to the Canisian copy, 555 years, according to the Labbean, 495, neither of which corresponds to the years recounted in the number of the Judges and Kings. The comparison made with the codices therefore greatly commends the reliability of our marble and the excellence of the work of Hippolytus: and it intensifies more vehemently the longing for the works of so great a Father and Martyr: which would have perished entirely, had not this outstanding trace of this monument secured a certain perpetuity for the remains of that same teaching. Thus far the most distinguished man.

VIII. Hoc itaque Anonymi Chronicon Hippolyto synchroni, quod primum Canisius. deinde Labbeus, postremo Cangius evulgarunt, hic edendum curavimus. Editionem nostram ad Labbeanam potissimum exegimus : collatis interim alicubi Canisii et Cangii exemplaribus, unde nonuullas descripsimus variantes lectiones, quae alicujus pretii esse videbantur. Quis enim, ut cum Labbeo loquar, illud Augiae stabulum purgare possit?

8. This Chronicle, then, of the Anonymous author contemporary with Hippolytus, which first Canisius, then Labbe, finally Du Cange published, we have had edited here. We have aligned our edition chiefly with Labbe's: comparing meanwhile in some places the copies of Canisius and Du Cange, from which we have written out some variant readings that seemed to be of some value. For who, to speak with Labbe, could clean out that stable of Augeas?

PRAEFATIO.

Preface.

Quandoquidem oportet instructum esse veritate, necessarium existimavi, fratres charissimi, hunc in brevi de sanctis Scripturis facere sermonem ad corroborandam doctrinam, ut per paucas enarrationes, non sine causa inquisitas virtutes veritatis citius agnoscamus, abscindentes prius indoctorum generatam contentionem quae obumbrat sensus, hujuscemodi indoctum edoceat. Summa autem cum industria praevidere cupientes juxta veritatem cognoscimus Gentium divisionem, et parentum dinumeratam generationem. Inhabitatorum quoque tempora, bellorum commissiones, et Judicum tempora, dispensationes, et Regum annos, et Prophetarum tempora qui et ex quibus regibus nati sunt, qualesque captivitates populi, quibus regibus, et quibus judicibus contigerint ; quique sacerdotes,

Since one ought to be instructed in the truth, I have thought it necessary, dearest brothers, to compose this brief discourse from the holy Scriptures to strengthen doctrine, so that through a few narrations we may more quickly recognize the powers of the truth, not inquired into without cause, first cutting away the contention produced by the unlearned which overshadows the meaning, [that] it may teach the unlearned man of this sort. Desiring, then, with the utmost industry to foresee according to the truth, we come to know the division of the Nations and the numbered generation of the ancestors; also the times of the inhabitants, the waging of wars, and the times of the Judges, the dispensations, and the years of the Kings, and the times of the Prophets, who they were and from which kings they were born, and what captivities of the people there were, under which kings and under which judges they occurred; and which priests,
