Note 52 — Chapter III · THE LORD’S NATIVITY: THE EPIPHANY: THE FESTIVALS WHICH IN EARLY TIMES FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY ON THE NATIVITY
Reading edition
The Hieronymian Martyrology is a mechanical and unintelligent piecing together of Eastern and Western lists, to which African additions were made as late as A.D. 600. Its origin has been investigated by De Rossi and Duchesne, V. de Buck and Achelis: see Wordsworth’s Ministry of Grace, p. 66.
