Yancy Smith has pointed me to this interesting article
Julius Africanus und die christliche Weltchronik: Julius Africanus und die christliche Weltchronistik. Edited by Martin Wallraff. New York: Walter de Gruyter, 2006. Especially the article by Osvalda Andrei, “Dalle Chronographiai di Giulio Africano di Giulo Africano alla Synagoge di ‘Ippolito’: Un debattio sulla scrittura cristiana del tempo,” 113-45
According to Yancy this article claims that there is some interdependence between Hippolytus’ and Julius Africanus’ Chronicles and also Hippolytus’ Commentary on Daniel. I’ll have to ILL this thing and see how well I can get through the Italian.
Thanks Yancy!
If I were to send you a scan of the article, would you OCR it and send me back a translation? Contact me via the email address published on my Late Antiquity pages (click on my name above this posting).
I’ll see what I can do JB.
