“How Many Years Were There from Creation to the Present Day?” A Historiographical Study of the Anonymous Liber Generationis ( Synagoge )
The Liber Generationis, or Συναγωγὴ χρόνων as it calls itself in the original Greek, is a short chronological account of the patriarchs, judges, and kings of Old Testament, which thence counts the years to the Nativity, the Passion, and the thirteenth year of Severus Alexander (235). In modern scholarship it is attributed to Hippolytus, martyr and “antipope” in Rome from 217 to 235, and as a result is always interpreted in terms of Hippolytus’ ot…
Chronicles, Consuls, and Coins
The papers collected in this volume focus on the sources for reconstructing the history of the third to fifth centuries AD. The first section, 'Historiography', looks at a small group of chronicles and breviaria whose texts are fundamental for our reconstruction of the history of the third and fourth centuries, some well known, others much less so: Eusebius of Caesarea, Jerome, the lost Kaisergeschichte, and Eutropius. In this section the goal in…

Medieval Historiographical Terminology
The term annals/annales as it is generally used by modern medievalists – to describe Easter tables with infrequent historical notations or similar works without the Easter table apparatus – is inaccurate and can be dangerous, because it can give us a false idea of the development and nature of medieval historiography. The word was never used with this strict meaning in the Middle Ages, when it generally meant only ‘history’ or ‘written record of …
The Date, Purpose, and Historical Context of the Original Greek and the Latin Translation of the So-called Excerpta Latina Barbari
The Excerpta Latina barbari , also known as the Barbarus Scaligeri , is a peculiar and unfairly neglected text that has been compared to a Russian nested doll. It survives alone in Parisinus latinus 4884 of the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris, a manuscript of sixty-three folios, usually dated to the late seventh or early eighth century. The nature of the text demonstrates that it was translated from a Greek exemplar, usually dated to the second h…
Another Look at Sosates, The “Jewish Homer”
A late eighth-century Latin translation of a Greek Alexandrian chronograph of the second quarter of the sixth century contains a reference to a Sosates, who is described as a “Jewish Homer” who lived in Alexandria. The first, and most complicated, difficulty with this short entry is determining Sosates’ date, which would seem to be the second quarter of the first century B.C.E. The next difficulty is working out what “Jewish Homer” means. Clues a…

The Kaisergeschichte ( KG ) was a set of short imperial biographies extending from Augustus to the death of Constantine, probably written between 337 and c. 340. It no longer exists but its existence can be deduced from other surviving works.
