Flavius Lucius Dexter was a figure of the late fourth century,〔(NPNF2-03. Theodoret, Jerome, Gennadius, & Rufinus: Historical Writings | Christian Classics Ethereal Library )〕 reported as a historian, and a friend of St Jerome. He was the son of St Pacian, an imperial office-holder, and dedicatee of a work of Jerome, the ''De Viris Illustribus''.〔Paul Burns, ''Butler's Lives of the Saints'' (2000), p. 83.〕 He was the supposed author of a chronicle, now called the ''Chronicon of Pseudo-Dexter''. It was in fact a forgery, one of a number of Román de la Higuera (1538–1611) including the continuation attributed to Marcus Maximus, as scholars now agree. The suspect authorship has been widely known since the work of the Spanish bibliographer Nicolás Antonio, the ''Censura de historias fabulosas'', published in 1742. Doubts were already cast on these ''falsos chronicones'' before 1600, but controversy continued late into the eighteenth century.〔Roberto González Echevarría (editor), ''Cervantes' Don Quixote: A Casebook'' (2005), p. 151.〕 The Cistercian François de Bivar (Bivarius) published a commentary and strong defence (Lyon, 1627).〔Amédée Fleury, ''Saint Paul et Sénèque'' (1853), p. 256.〕 Later references to the ''Chronicon'' as genuine abound.〔E.g. its inclusion in part in ''Patrologia Latina'', http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/areopagite_02_preface.htm〕 ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flavius Lucius Dexter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
