Chronicon Athanasium

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

The Festal Epistles of Athanasius, published in Syriac by Cureton, 1848, and afterwards with a Latin translation by Mai (Pat. Nov. Bibl. 6), have prefixed a chronicle of the episcopate of Athanasius (A.D. 328-373). It throws much light on the history of the period, marking the Easter of each year, together with the names of its consuls and the other .modes of designating the year, both in the east and west.
