Hegesippus, Pseudo-

Name(s):
  • Hegesippus, Pseudo-
Date:
4-5th c.
Confession:
  • Christian (Nicene)
Remarks:
The author is anonymous, for Hegesippus seems to be an distortion of Josephus, under whose name the work circulated in the earliest manuscripts. He has been identified with Ambrose of Milan and a converted Jew called Isaac. The latter identification has little to recommend it and the former is unlikely.
