À Rome, saint
Hégésippe, presque contemporain des Apôtres.
Il vint en cette ville
trouver le pontife Anicet, et y demeura jusqu’au pontificat d’Éleuthère.
Pendant son séjour, il
composa l’Histoire de l’Église depuis la Passion du Seigneur jusqu’à son
temps, dans un style simple, dépeignant ainsi, dans sa manière d’écrire, la vie
de ceux dont il suivait les exemples.
Saint Hégésippe vivait
peu de temps après les Apôtres et devint, par son Baptême, membre de
l’Église de Jérusalem ; il voyagea ensuite à Rome et en Orient,
travaillant à l’édification de l’Église par ses recherches et par ses
écrits.
Nous avons à regretter la
perte de son Histoire de l’Église en cinq livres, qui commençait à la
Passion du Sauveur et se terminait à l’époque même où il écrivait.
Saint Jérôme nous a
laissé de ce pieux et savant auteur un témoignage très avantageux.
Profile
Born Jewish, he became an
adult convert to Christianity.
Hegesippus lived twenty years in Rome, Italy where
he researched the early Church,
but in later years he retired to Jerusalem.
He was the first to trace and record the succession of the bishops of Rome from Saint Peter to
his own day, and is considered the father of ecclesiastical history. Little of
his writings survive,
but he was highly recommended by other early writers including
Eusebius and Saint Jerome.
Compiled a catalogue of heresies during
the first century of Christianity.

Hegesippus (RM)
Born in Jerusalem; died c. 180. Saint Hegesippus was a Jewish convert to
Christianity in Jerusalem. He spent 20 years in Rome, from the pontificate of
Saint Anicetus to that of Saint Eleutherius. He returned to Jerusalem in 177 after
visiting most of the important Christian churches, and probably died at
Jerusalem. He is considered the father of Church history for his five books on
the history of the Church from the death of Christ up to the pontificate of
Saint Eleutherius (c. 174-c. 189). Hegesippus was the first to trace the
succession of popes from Saint Peter. Saint Jerome warmly commended the work
and Eusebius drew on it heavily for his Ecclesiastical History. Unfortunately,
only a few chapters of Hegesippus's work are extant. It should be noted that
another man named Hegesippus is the compiler of the history of the destruction
of Jerusalem, which was based on the history of Josephus (Benedictines,
Delaney, Encyclopedia, Husenbeth).

April 7
St. Hegesippus
[A primitive Father, near
the times of the Apostles.] HE was by birth a Jew, and belonged to
the church of Jerusalem, but, travelling to Rome, he lived there nearly twenty
years from the pontificate of Anicetus to that of Eleutherius, in 177, when he
returned into the East, where he died very old, probably at Jerusalem, in the
year of Christ 180, according to the chronicle of Alexandria. He wrote in the
year 133 a History of the Church, in five books, from the passion of Christ
down to his own time, the loss of which work is extremely regretted. In it he
gave illustrious proofs of his faith, and showed the apostolical tradition, and
that though certain men had disturbed the church by broaching heresies, yet
down to his time no episcopal see or particular church had fallen into error,
but had in all places preserved inviolably the truths delivered by Christ, as
he assures us. 1 This
testimony he gave after having personally visited all the principal churches
both of the East and West. He was a man replenished with the spirit of the
apostles, and a love of Christian humility, which, says Jerom, he expressed by
the simplicity of his style. The five books on the destruction of Jerusalem,
compiled chiefly from the history of Josephus, are not the work of this father,
as some have imagined; but of a younger Hegesippus, who wrote before the
destruction of the Western empire, but after Constantine the Great. See
Mabillon, Musæum Italicum, t. 1, p. 14, and Cave, Hist. Liter. t. 1, p. 265.

St. Hegesippus
(Roman
Martyrology, 7 April).
A writer of the second
century, known to us almost exclusively from Eusebius, who tells us
that he wrote in five books in the simplest style the true tradition of
the Apostolic preaching. His work was entitled hypomnemata (Memoirs),
and was written against the new heresies of
the Gnostics and
of Marcion. He
appealed principally to tradition as embodied in the teaching which had been
handed down in the Churches through the succession of bishops. St. Jerome was
wrong in supposing him to have composed a history. He was clearly an orthodox Catholic and not
a "Judaeo-Christian",
though Eusebius says
he showed that he was a convert from Judaism, for he quoted
from the Hebrew, he was acquainted with the Gospel according to the Hebrews and
with a Syriac Gospel, and he also cited unwritten traditions of the Jews. He seems to have
belonged to some part of the East, possibly Palestine. He went on a journey to
Corinth and Rome,
in the course of which he met many bishops, and he heard
from all the same doctrine.
He says: "And the Church of the
Corinthians remained in the true word until
Primus was bishop in
Corinth; I made their acquaintance in my journey to Rome, and remained with
the Corinthians many days, in which we were refreshed with the true word. And when
I was in Rome, I
made a succession up to Anicetus, whose deacon was
Eleutherus. And in each succession and in each city all is according to the
ordinances of the law and
the Prophets and the Lord" (Eusebius, IV, 22).
Many attempts have been
made to show that diadochen epoiesamen, "I made for myself a
succession," is not clear, and cannot mean, "I made for myself a list
of the succession of the bishops of Rome." A
conjectural emendation by Halloix and Savile, diatriben epoiesamen, is
based on the version by Rufinus (permansi inibi), and has been accepted by
Harnack, McGiffert, and Zahn. But the proposed reading makes nonsense:
"And being in Rome,
I made a stay there till Anicetus." When did he arrive? And what does
"till Anicetus" mean? Eusebius cannot
have read this, for he says that Hegesippus came to Rome under Anicetus
and stayed until Eleutherus. The best scholars have accepted the manuscript text
without difficulty, among others Lipsius, Lightfoot, Renan, Duchesne,
Weizsaecker, Salmon, Caspari, Funk, Turner, Bardenhewer. In fact diadoche had
then a technical meaning, which is precisely found in the next sentence, where
"in each succession and in each city", may be paraphrased "in
each list of bishops in every city", the argument being that of St. Irenæus (Adv.
Haer., III, 3): "We are able to enumerate those who were made bishops in the
Churches by the Apostles,
and their successions up till our own time, and they have taught and known
nothing resembling the wild dreams of these heretics." The
addition of Soter and Eleutherus is intended by the writer to bring his
original catalogue up to date.
With great ingenuity
Lightfoot has found traces of this list in St. Epiphanius, Haer., XXVII, 6,
where that saint of the fourth century carelessly says: Marcellina came to us
lately and destroyed many, in the days of Anicetus, Bishop of Rome", and then
refers to "the above catalogue", though he has given none. He is
clearly quoting a writer who was at Rome in the time of
Anicetus and made a list of popes beginning
with St. Peter and St.
Paul, martyred in
the twelfth year of Nero.
A list which has some curious agreements with Epiphanius, and extends only to
Anicetus, is found in the poem of Pseudo-Tertullian against Marcion; the author has
mistaken Marcellina for Marcion. The same list
is at the base of the earlier part of the Liberian Catalogue, doubtless
from Hippolytus (see
under CLEMENT I).
It seems fairly certain that the list of Hegesippus was also used by Irenaeus, Africanus,
and Eusebius in
forming their own. It should be said, however, that not only Harnack and Zahn,
but Funk and Bardenhewer, have rejected Lightfoot's view, though on weak
grounds. It is probable that Eusebius borrowed
his list of the early bishops of Jerusalem from
Hegesippus.
Eusebius quotes
from Hegesippus a long and apparently legendary account of the death of St.
James, "the
brother of the Lord", also the story of the election of his successor Symeon,
and the summoning of the descendants of St. Jude to Rome by Domitian. A list
of heresies against
which Hegesippus wrote is also cited. We learn from a note in the
Bodleian manuscript Barocc.
142 (De Boor in "Texte und Unters.", V, ii, 169) that the names of
the two grandsons of St. Jude were given by Hegesippus as Zoker and James. Dr.
Lawlor has shown (Hermathena, XI, 26, 1900, p. 10) that all these passages
cited by Eusebius were
connected in the original, and were in the fifth book of Hegesippus. He has
also made it probable (Journal of Theol. Studies, April, 1907, VIII, 436)
that Eusebius got
from Hegesippus the statement that St. John was exiled to Patmos by Domitian. Hegesippus
mentioned the letter of Clement to the Corinthians, apparently in connection
with the persecution of Domitian. It is very
likely that the dating of heretics according
to papal reigns
in Irenaeus and
Epiphanius — e.g., that Cerdon and Valentius came to Rome under Anicetus,
etc. — was derived from Hegesippus, and the same may be true of the
assertion that Hermas was the brother of Pope Pius (so the Liberian
Catalogue, the poem against Marcion, and the Muratorian fragment).
The date of Hegesippus is fixed by the statement that the death and apotheosis
of Antinous were in his own time (130), that he came to Rome under Anicetus
(154-7 to 165-8) and wrote in the time of Eleutherus (174-6 to 189-91). Zahn
has shown that the work of Hegesippus was still extant in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries in three Eastern libraries.

Saint Hegesippus
a Primitive Father of the Church
(† 180)
Saint Hegesippus was by
nation a Jew who joined the Church of Jerusalem, when the disasters attaining
his unhappy land opened his eyes to see their cause. His writings were known to
Saint Jerome and Eusebius and were praised by them and by all of antiquity.
Saint Hegesippus journeyed to Rome, stopping to visit all important churches
along his way, afterwards remaining there for nearly twenty years, from the
pontificate of Pope Saint Anicetus to that of Saint Eleutherius. During the
time of the latter he returned to the Orient, where he died at an advanced age,
probably in Jerusalem in the year 180, according to the chronicle of
Alexandria.
Saint Hegisippus wrote in
the year 133 a history of the Church entitled Memoirs, which was composed
of five books and covered the time from the Passion of Christ until that year,
that is, one hundred years; the loss of this work, of which only a few
fragments remain, is extremely regretted. In it he gave illustrious proofs of
his faith, and placed in evidence the apostolic tradition, proving that
although certain men had disturbed the Church by broaching heresies, yet even
to his day no episcopal see or individual church had fallen into error. This
testimony he gave after having personally visited all the principal churches,
both of the East and the West, with the intention of gathering all authentic
traditions concerning the life of Our Lord and of the Apostles.

1. THE ANTI-GNOSTIC
WRITERS - HEGESIPPUS
We have seen that most of
the Gnostic writings have perished. The same is true of the answers which they
called forth. As they were mostly occasional writings, once the heresy abated,
people ceased to read and copy them, so that many of them disappeared with the
danger which had occasioned them.
To this class belong the
writings mentioned above, namely those of Justin against heresy in general and
against Marcion in particular, and those of Theophilus of Antioch against
Marcion and against Hermogenes. To these may be added the works of the
Apologist Miltiades,[1] the treatise of Agrippa Castor, who wrote against
Basilides in the reign of Hadrian (117-138),[2] and the writings of the Asiatic
Rhodon, disciple of Tatian, against Marcion, against Apelles, and perhaps also
against Tatian himself.[3] Eusebius names besides, among the champions of
orthodoxy, Philip, bishop of Gortyna in Crete,[4] Modestus,[5] and Musanus,[6]—
all three under Marcus Aurelius and Commodus (161-192), — and Heraclitus,
Maximus,[7] and Candidus, and Apion, at the end of the reign of Commodus and
under Septimus Severus. The last two wrote on the Hexaemeron. Eusebius also
mentions a work of Sextus on the Resurrection and another of Arabianus on some
other subject. He then adds that there existed a multitude of other writers
whose date, works and names he could not indicate in detail, as many of the
writing were anonymous. It is surprising he does not speak of one of his
predecessors, Zachaeus, bishop of Caesarea, mentioned by the Praedestinatus as
having written, towards the end of the second century, against the
Valentinians.
Side by side with these
polemists, who are scarcely known to us, and whose works were not copied, there
are some whose memory has been better preserved or whose names have even
remained famous in the Church. Such are, in the second century, Hegesippus and
St. Irenaeus.
Very little is known of
Hegesippus.[8] Probably he was a Palestinian Jew, born c. 110, and later
converted to Christianity. Under Pope Anicetus (155-166) he undertook a journey
throughout Christendom, which led him to Corinth and later to Rome. The purpose
of this trip was to collect on the spot the teachings of the various churches
which he visited, and to ascertain their uniformity with Rome. He determined in
this city the list of the succession of bishops down to Anicetus. On his return
to his native land he composed, during the pontificate of Pope Eleutherius
(174-189), the work of which we are about to speak. According to the Paschal
Chronicle, he died c. 180.
The work of Hegesippus
bears the title of Memoirs ('Upomnhmata). It comprised five books, but is
almost entirely lost. We are able, however, to form some idea of the work with
the aid of indications and citations furnished by Eusebius. It was not, as St.
Jerome would have it, a coherent history of the Church from the passion of our
Lord until the middle of the second century, but rather a polemical treatise
against the Gnostics, setting forth the facts and the evidence for the truth of
the Church's official teaching. Eusebius does not hesitate to rank Hegesippus
among the defenders of tradition. "He has narrated," he says,
"in a very simple way the infallible tradition of the Apostolic
teaching."[10] This is the reason why Hegesippus was so interested in the
traditions of the churches and in the succession of the bishops who guaranteed
their integrity.
Hegesippus does not seem
to have been a very learned man nor a very able writer. His Greek is awkward
and he lacked critical acumen; but he was an attentive observer and a sincere
witness, highly esteemed by Eusebius.

Sant' Egesippo Scrittore
cristiano
Sant’Egesippo viene
considerato il primo autore post apostolico, probabilmente originario della
Palestina e conoscitore del greco, dell’ebraico e del siriaco. Visse a Roma
durante il papato di Aniceto fino a quello di Eleuterio e scrisse con stile
semplice la Storia degli Atti Ecclesiastici dalla passione del Signore fino ai
suoi giorni.
Martirologio Romano:
Commemorazione di sant’Egesippo, che visse a Roma dal papato di Aniceto fino a
quello di Eleuterio e compose con linguaggio semplice una storia della Chiesa
dalla Passione del Signore fino ai suoi tempi.
Egesippo visse nella
secondo secolo dell’era crisitana. Convertitosi dall’ebraismo, dalla alestina
si trasferì prima a Corinto e poi a Roma onde scoprire meglio la fece
cristiana. Nella capitale dell’impero trascorse vent’anni, dal 157 al 177, poi
fece ritorno in Oriente, ove morì in età avanzata probabilmetne presso
Gerusalemme, sebbene il Martyrologium Romanum in concordanza con il
Card.Baronio indichi la Città Eterna quale luogo del suo transito. In ogni caso
le notizie biografiche sul suo conto sono assai scarse e per di più parzialmente
inattendibili.
Godettero di grande
popolarità le sue “Memorie”, consistenti in studi di storia ecclesiastica
relativi in particolar modo a Gerusalemme e mirati soprattutto a mostrare la
fedele trasmissione della predicazione apostolica. Tali scritti sono suddivisi
in cinque libri, redatti in stile semplice ma efficace nel confutare gli errori
dello gnosticismo. Sfortunatamente si sono salvati all’oblio del tempo
solamente alcuni frammenti, in prevalenza negli scritti di Eusebio di Cesarea,
che molta stima nutrì per Egesippo quale storico ed a suo giudizio sarebbe
stato proprio lui durante il suo soggiorno a Roma a redigere l’elenco dei primi
papi.

EGESIPPO
di Mario Niccoli -
Enciclopedia Italiana (1932)
EGESIPPO (‛Ηγήσνππος, Hegesippus)
Scrittore greco
cristiano, probabilmente un giudeo palestinese convertito, vissuto nel sec. II.
Ci è noto da Eusebio di Cesarea che Egesippo scrisse cinque libri di commentarî
(‛Υπομνήματα), dalle cui pagine, intessute di racconti storici e di squarci
catechetici, dogmatici e polemici, risaltava l'affermazione che il criterio
della retta fede cristiana era dato dall'aderenza di essa alla tradizione
apostolica e dalla sua universale accettazione. Per dimostrare questo, E.
intraprese un lungo viaggio in Occidente: fu certamente a Corinto e di là a
Roma, dove giunse al tempo di Aniceto (156-166). È pensabile che i Commentarî fossero
da E. scritti al suo ritorno.
Dei Commentarî di
E. non possediamo oggi che i frammenti riferiti da Eusebio di Cesarea (riuniti
in Zahn cit. in bibl., pp. 228-249) nella sua Storia ecclesiastica. Di
questi frammenti oltre alle poche notizie circa l'attività e il pensiero di E.,
sono particolarmente interessanti quello che contiene l'indicazione della
successione episcopale romana (Aniceto-Sotero-Eleutero: ha E. inserito nella
sua opera una completa lista episcopale relativa a Roma? La sua espressione
διαδοχὴν ἐποιηάμην è ambigua) e gli altri relativi alla morte di Giacomo
"fratello del Signore", al suo successore nell'episcopato gerosolimitano,
Simeonc, figlio di Clopa e cugino di Gesù, alle misure prese da Vespasiano dopo
il '70 contro i discendenti di David, ecc., che sono fra le poche notizie che
noi possediamo circa l'ambiente cristiano palestinese dopo la morte di Gesù.

Den hellige Hegesippus av Jerusalem ( -~180)
Minnedag: 7.
april
Den hellige Hegesippus
var en jøde fra Jerusalem som konverterte til kristendommen. Han skal ha reist
til Korint og Roma for å finne ut hva som var sann kristen lære, og han
tilbrakte tyve år av sitt liv i Roma fra rundt 157 under de hellige
pavene Anicetus (155-166), Soter (166-175)
og Eleuterius (175-189).
Han vendte tilbake til Jerusalem i 177 etter å ha besøkt de fleste av de
viktige kristne kirkene.
Han døde rundt 180,
trolig i Jerusalem, selv om Martyrologium Romanum følger den ærverdige kardinal
Cesare Baronius (1538-1607), lærd oratorianer og kirkehistoriker, og hevder at
han døde i Roma. De biografiske detaljene om ham er imidlertid få og ikke
fullstendig pålitelige. Hans minnedag er 7. april og hans navn står i
Martyrologium Romanum.
Han regnes som
kirkehistoriens far for sine fem bøker om Kirkens historie fra Kristi død til
pave Eleuterius' pontifikat, spesielt om Kirken i Jerusalem. Verket har
tittelen Hypomnemata («Memoarer») og ble skrevet mot de nye kjetteriene
gnostisismen og marcionismen. Hegesippus var den første som satte opp en liste
over biskoper av Roma fra den hellige Peter til han
egne dager gjengitt av den hellige Epifanius av Salamis.
Dessverre har bare noen få kapitler av hans verker overlevd – merkelig nok
overlevde hans verker helt til 1500- og 1600-tallet i noen biblioteker, men er
senere gått tapt.
Den hellige Hieronymus vitner
om hans ydmyke og apostoliske ånd, «som han uttrykte gjennom enkelheten i sine
skrifter», skrevet i polemikk mot de gnostiske heretikernes feiltakelser. Den
berømte kirkehistorikeren Eusebius av Caesarea (ca
260-340) anbefaler også hans verker på det varmeste og brukte dem omfattende i
sin Kirkehistorie (Historia ecclesiastica).
