The first book has reached us in five lists.
The full text is preserved in a single manuscript, Parisinus suppl. gr. 464.
Books 4 - 10 were discovered by M. Minoidis in 1942 in the Athonite Greek manuscript of the 14th century.

Information about the contents of this book from the source:
Afonasin E.V. Ancient Gnosticism. Fragments and evidence. St. Petersburg, 2002.
Separate fragments have been preserved in the quotation of Eusebius (Church history, 5, 28).
It was written after "Philosophumen".
With the exception of quotations from Eusebius, lost.
It was directed against the heresy of the “Alogs” (they denied the Christian teaching about the Logos. The leader was Gaius).
St. Epiphanius (Against Heresies, 51) used the work of St. Hippolyta when describing the “alogues”.
Not preserved.
The Syrian writer Dionysius bar-Salibi (1171) gives five fragments from the work.
Probably identical to the treatise “On the Gospel of John and the Apocalypse.”
Not preserved.
Marked on the statue
Not preserved
It can be identified with the following. by work:
Several fragments have reached us.
Written by St. Hippolytus in 234
Preserved in three Latin and one Armenian translations;
Only fragments of the Greek original have survived.
Lists major events from the creation of the world to the year 234.
is also dedicated to the division of the land between the descendants of Noah (Gen. 10), and a description of the route from Alexandria to Spain.
Directed against those awaiting the imminent arrival of the Day of Judgment and the subsequent thousand-year kingdom of the righteous (see chiliasm).
St. Hippolytus used as sources:
“At the same time, Hippolytus, among other “Memos,” wrote a book about Easter, where, calculating the time, he gives Easter for 16 years, starting with the first year of the reign of Emperor Alexander [Severus].”
(Eusebius. Church history, 6, 22).
Purpose of writing:
free you from the need to refer to the Jewish calendar when making Easter calculations and scientifically calculate the time of the Easter full moon.
However, no later than 237, the calculation of St. Hippolyta disagreed with astronomical data.
Around 243, the treatise “On the Calculation of Easter” appeared. The goal is to correct the Paschal of St. Hippolyta. Incorrectly attributed to St. Cyprian of Carthage.
A fragment has been preserved.
It is believed that this is the final part of the lost Syntagma.
The fragment is directed against the monarchian and patripassian modalism of Noetus.
Authenticity is in doubt
Considered lost (except for two fragments in Syriac and one in Latin in the Acts of the Lateran Council)
In 1926, X. Martin established that one of Chrysostom’s conversations “On Holy Easter,” which was considered inauthentic, belongs to St. Hippolyta.
However, it seems that the conversation was redone in the 4th century. in order to resist the Arians.
That.:
Conversation of Hippolytus 3rd century. + anti-Arian interpolations of the 4th century. = conversation under the name of Chrysostom
Topics:
The Old Testament Passover as a prototype of the New Testament,
the redemptive feat of Christ,
His descent into hell and victory over death.

In the history of Christian writing of the 3rd century. Hieromartyr Hippolytus occupies a prominent place. He is the author of numerous works, including books against heresies, dogmatic, exegetical and chronological treatises, a liturgical-canonical monument and even spiritual poetry. The original of most of St. Hippolytus is lost - not so much because of his Christological subordinationism and because of the long schism that he caused in the Roman Church, but because he wrote in Greek, and in his era, especially in subsequent centuries, only a few The Romans spoke this language. However, a significant part of the works of St. Hippolyta survives in Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Arabic, Ethiopian, Armenian, Georgian and Slavic versions. Christians of Ancient Rus' knew St. Hippolytus, first of all, as the author of the famous “Tale of Christ and Antichrist”, which enjoyed extraordinary popularity among Russian readers.
Time and place of birth of St. Hippolyta is unknown. Presumably he was not Roman by birth and upbringing: his excellent command of the Greek language, deep knowledge of ancient philosophy and religion indicate a connection with the East. Patriarch Photius says that St. Hippolytus called himself a student of Irenaeus of Lyons (Library, no. 121), but this is unlikely to be taken in the literal sense. Saint Hippolytus is Greek in language, thought and mode of expression; he is the last Roman author to use this language as his primary language. He is familiar with Alexandrian theology, and his doctrine of the Logos reveals a direct connection with the similar teaching of the Alexandrians.
When Origen around 212 visited Rome, he saw Hippolytus there, who at that time already had the rank of presbyter. Apparently, Hippolytus was close to Pope Zepherinus. When Zepherinus died and Callistus took his place, Hippolytus found himself in opposition to the new pope. He accused him of insufficient severity towards those members of the Church who had stained themselves with moral vices, as well as of adherence to the heresy of Sabellius - and this despite the fact that Callistus condemned Sabellius at the beginning of his Pontificate. It is difficult to say now how fair Hippolytus’ accusations against the pope were. Apparently, Callistus and Hippolytus had different understandings of the very nature of the Church: “For Hippolytus, the Church is a society of saints, and the holiness of the Church is guaranteed by the unconditional purity of its members from carnal sins. According to Callistus, the Church does not lose its character as a “catholic Church,” even when unworthy members remain within it” (Hamel A. Kirche bei Hippolit von Rom, S. 75). There is an assumption, based on the mention of Hippolytus as a supporter of Novatian in Eusebius’s Ecclesiastical History (6, 43), as well as on the later testimony of Pope Damasus, that Hippolytus’s activities in Rome were connected with the Novatian schism. In any case, he was, like Novatian, an opponent of the weakening of canonical discipline in the Church, and advocated strict punishments against sinners and heretics. Hippolytus broke away from the Roman Church and led a small but influential group of rigorist Christians who proclaimed him Bishop of Rome. Thus, he became the first antipope in the history of the Roman Church. (Novatian became the second antipope in 251 - see Eusebius. Church history, 6, 43).
The schism of Hippolytus continued for many years under the successors of Callistus Urban (223 - 230) and Pontian (230 - 235) until Emperor Maximin expelled Pope Pontian and antipope Hippolytus to the island of Sardinia, where, apparently, reconciliation took place St. Hippolyta with Pontian. On September 28, 235, Pontian renounced the episcopal throne to give the Christians of Rome the opportunity to elect his successor. Hippolytus also renounced his claim to the Roman see. The group of Hippolytus' supporters then reunited with the Roman Church, and the united community elected Anter as bishop (235 - 236). Pontian and Hippolytus soon suffered martyrdom on Fr. Sardinia. Their bodies were transferred to Rome under Anter's successor, Pope Fabian (236 - 250) and buried on the same day - August 13, 236 or 237. On this day the Church commemorates St. Hippolytus, as a man who not only atoned for the sin of schism by reconciliation with the Church, but also testified to his faith with martyrdom. In the Lateran Museum in Rome there is a statue of St. Hippolyta, dating from the 3rd century: he is depicted sitting with a book in his hand on a chair on which is carved a list of his writings.

HIPPOLYTUS OF THE ROMAN (Hippolytus) - god-word, Christian saint.
Only fragmentary information has been preserved about the life of Hippolytus of Rome. Born, most likely, in Asia Minor; There he studied the word of God, ek-ze-ge-zu, and oratory art. Late sources (pat-ri-arch Photius) call Hippolytus of Rome a scientist Irenaeus Li-on-sky. In pon-ti-fi-kat pa-py Ze-fi-ri-na (198-217 or 218) arrived in Rome, where he was appointed pre-swi-te-r ; Around the year 212, Origen listened to the pro-po-ve-di of Hippolytus of Rome. I have become widely known as knowledge of the Greek philosophical heritage (pre-all - so-chi-ne-ny Ge-rak-li -ta), as well as the strict rev-ni-tel or-to-dok-siy and internal-ri-chur-kov-noy dis-qi-p-li-ny. In po-le-mi-ke with heresy mo-nar-hi-an, trying to emphasize the distinction between the Father and the Son in the Holy Trinity, Hippolytus of Rome folded went to the obvious sub-or-di-na-tsio-niz-mu (which in the future called pa-pe Kal-lik-stu about-vi -thread it in two-gods).
After the election of Kal-lik-sta as the head of the Roman Church (218), he completely broke communication with her and was elected bishop of the Greek Few of their sides. Kri-ti-ko-val in the zi-tion of Kal-lik-sta in the matter of the internal dis-ci-p-li-ne, accusing him of excessive condescension towards repentant sinners, explained by personal irrelevance, under-black-ki-val loyalty to Kal-lik-sta sa-vel-li-an-st-vu. As the first in the history of the Church-vi an-ti-pa-pa (217-235), Hippolytus of Rome stood for the law-but-elected pre- em-ni-kam pa-py Kal-lik-sta - Ur-ba-nu I (222-230 years) and Pon-tsia-nu (230-235 years). Like Pa-pa Pon-tsi-an, around 235, by order of Emperor Max-si-mi-n, he was sent from Rome to the island of Sar-di-niya to work in rud-ni-kah. According to tradition, a reconciliation between Hippolytus of Rome and Pon-tsian took place at Sardinia, after which Hippolytus of Rome was kind freedom from the episcopal sanity, persuading his parties to join the fold of the Roman Church. He died on Sar-di-nii, in 236 or 237 he was transferred to the Roman suburb of Ager-Vera-nus on Via-Ti-bur-ti-na .
Ancient and early-middle-age sources (for example, Ev-se-viy Ke-sarii-sky, “Church Is- to-ria”, VI, 22; Jer-ro-nim the Blessed, “About famous men”, 61) they call Hippolytus of Rome the author a significant number of shi-ro-ko from-known po-le-mic, apo-lo-ge-tic, ek-ze-ge-tic, dog-ma-tic and even ka-no -nic co-chi-non-nies. Most of the ek-ze-ge-tical so-chi-ne-nies of Hippolytus of Rome, among which - “Interpretation on Shes-tod-nev”, “ About what happened after Shes-tod-ne-va”, or “On Genesis”, “Interpretation on the Book of Su-day”, “Interpretation on the Book of Ruth”, “Interpretation of the Song of Songs”, interpretation of the prophets, etc., preserved only in fragments -tah, ex-tser-ptah or mention-mi-na-yah of other authors, in later translations; about some of the co-chi-not-yahs known, but only by name. To the ek-ze-ge-tical co-chi-ne-ni-yams of Hippolytus of Rome we also take his dog-ma-ti-ko-ek-ze-ge-tical essay “On Chri- ste and an-ti-chris-ste" in 67 chapters.
Ek-ze-ge-za of Hippolytus of Rome de-mon-st-ri-ru-has a close connection with the tradition of the Alec-san-d-riy school, since of no-small-important significance in the ek-ze-ge-ze of Hippolytus of Rome they have principles of a foreign-speaking meaning . The most significant scientific opinion of Hippolytus of Rome is “The Disclosure of All Heresies” (in 10 books; 1 books have survived , 4-10), from which for a long time only our own 1st book was known - “Phi-lo-so- fu-me-ny”, often when-pi-sy-va-sha-ya Ori-ge-nu. So-chi-not-is-an-important-is-no-one in the history of the early Church, especially due to the sub-rob-but- go, often to the words of the key aspects of heretical teachings (mo-nar-hi-an, sa-vel- li-an, no-etsi-an, el-ke-zai-tov, etc.), and also represents in-te-res blah-go-da-rya ex-cer-pts from the ancient Greek philosophical heritage. How-le-mi-che-skie ha-rak-te-ri-zu-yut-sya so-chi-ne-niya: “A brief op-ro-ver-s-the-same heresy "(not preserved), "Go-mi-liy on the heresy of No-eta" (18 chapters preserved), "Heads against Gaia" (frag-men-you in the Syriac translation), “To Markio-nu”, “Against the magicians” (not preserved).
To the apo-lo-ge-tical co-chi-ne-ni-yams of Hippolytus of Rome: “To El-li-us and Pla-to-nu about the essence of everything” , “Do-ka-za-tel-st-vo to iu-de-yam” (known in fragments).

The Lord glorify the new confessor and hieromartyr for your suffering and torture, blessed Hippolyta. Just as a city on the top of a mountain cannot hide, so can you, the saint of God. Old age and weak nature show the power of God perfected in weakness. Thou didst not fear torture and death in the hand of Thy God, thou gavest thy soul.

It is strange and regrettable to see an old man, grey-haired, before an angry judge for the faith of Christ
suffering. You are like the lamb of God, blessed Hippolyta, after much torture, bound hand and foot, you were thrown into the sea. Not being afraid of this, you cried out to God from the depths of the sea, marvelous in Your saints: Hallelujah.

Hieromartyr Hippolyte, you endured all kinds of misfortunes, sorrows and torments in your earthly life.

The sea gave your body to the shore of Ostia, the Roman pier, and the children of your flock took it with reverence, and laid your body in the temple of the city of Rome, singing to God, wondrous in the saints: Hallelujah.
Human achievement is not possible due to your wealth; you have endured your deeds and labors, torments and sufferings for the faith of Christ.

Chrysia the Virgin of Rome
Hieromartyr Hippolytus, martyrs Kensorin, Savin, Chrysia the Virgin and other 20 martyrs suffered in the 3rd century.
Saint Censorinus was the first dignitary during the reign of the Roman Emperor Claudius II (268 – 270). Following a denunciation, he was taken and imprisoned for his faith in Christ. Here, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, he resurrected the deceased, after which 20 soldiers—prison guards—turned to Christ. Together with Saint Kensorin, they were beheaded. At the same time, the maiden Chrysia was brought in for questioning, who courageously confessed herself to be a Christian and was subjected to torture. After brutal torture, she was drowned in the sea.
Saint Savin was beaten with a heavy hammer, and then hung on a tree and his body was burned with fire. In torment, he betrayed his holy soul to the Lord.
Those who suffered with Saint Chrysia were: Philicles, Maximus, Herculinus, Venerius, Styracinus, Mina, Commodus, Hermus, Maurus, Eusebius, Rusticus, Monagraius, Amandine, Olympius, Cyprus, Theodore, Trivounus, Maximus the presbyter, Archelaus the deacon and the Bishop of Cyrinus.
Saint Hippolytus, Bishop of Ostia, a Roman pier at the mouth of the Tiber, having learned about the suffering of the martyrs, despite his advanced years, appeared in court and denounced the torturer for inhumanity, calling him a bloodsucker. The enraged judge handed over the holy bishop to torture. After much torture, he was tied hand and foot and thrown into the sea.
These martyrs suffered in 269. The relics of the Holy Martyr Hippolytus were placed in Rome, in the Church of the Holy Martyrs Lawrence and Pope Damasus. The Holy Hieromartyr Hippolytus was a disciple of Saint Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, and is known as a Christian Theologian who wrote many works against heretics. He compiled the Easter Canon, the famous work about Christ and the Word about the Antichrist. Saint Hippolytus also wrote many interpretations on the Holy Scriptures, on the Books of Genesis, Exodus, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, on the Gospels of Matthew, Luke, John, on the prophets Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah, on the Psalms of David and the Apocalypse. Some of his works survive only in fragments. The words dedicated to the Epiphany and the prophet Daniel have been completely preserved. His words are an example of the art of ancient church preaching.
In. 1:1, 14, 18. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. No one has ever seen God: He revealed the Only Begotten God, who exists in the bosom of the Father.
Hieromartyr Hippolytus of Rome.
In the history of Christian writing of the 3rd century. St. Hippolytus occupies a prominent place. He is the author of numerous works, including books against heresies, dogmatic, exegetical and chronological treatises, a liturgical-canonical monument and even spiritual poetry. The original of most of St. Hippolytus is lost - not so much because of his Christological subordinationism and because of the long schism that he caused in the Roman Church, but because he wrote in Greek, and in his era, especially in subsequent centuries, only a few The Romans spoke this language. However, a significant part of the works of St. Hippolyta survives in Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Arabic, Ethiopian, Armenian, Georgian and Slavic versions (Quasten J. Patrology, pp. 165 - 166). Christians of Ancient Rus' knew St. Hippolytus, first of all, as the author of the famous “Tale of Christ and Antichrist”, which enjoyed extraordinary popularity among Russian readers.
Among the works of St. Hippolytus, not a single one has attracted as much attention from researchers as the “Apostolic Tradition”, written by him about 215 The title of this work appears on the statue of St. Hippolytus, however, it was considered lost until in 1910 E. Schwartz, and in 1916 R. Connolly proved that the Latin version of the “Egyptian Church Order”, so called by scientists for the reason that this work became known first in Ethiopian and Coptic translations, reproduces the “Apostolic Tradition” of St. Hippolyta. Greek original work of St. Hippolytus is lost, with the exception of a few fragments, the most important of which are contained in the 8th chapter of the “Apostolic Constitutions”, written in Syria around 380. The so-called “Testament of Jesus Christ” and “Rules of Hippolytus” are monuments dating from approximately the 5th century and preserved in the Syriac version (the first), in the Arabic and Ethiopian (the second), are also based on the “Apostolic Tradition” of St. Hippolyta.
Eusebius (Church history, 6, 22), bl. Jerome (On Famous Men, 61), Photius (Library, No. 121) and St. himself. Hippolytus (Philosophumena, 1, 20) mentions the work of Hippolytus called “Syntagma”, or “Against all heresies”. According to Patriarch Photius, the work dealt with 32 heresies up to the heresy of Noetus. The work has been lost, but its content can be judged both from Photius’s remark and from the appendix to the treatise “On the Recusal of the Claim of Heretics” by Tertullian and the treatise “Panarion” by St. Epiphany of Cyprus: author of the application and St. Epiphanius used the “Syntagma” of St. Hippolyta as a source. "Syntagma" belongs to early period creativity of St. Hippolyta: the treatise was written during the life of Pope Zephyrinus (199 - 217).
Saint Hippolytus wrote a large number of commentaries on various books of the Old and New Testaments. In them he mainly followed the exegetical method of the Alexandrian school. The “Commentary on the Book of the Prophet Daniel” has been preserved entirely in the Slavic version and partially in the Greek original. It was written around 204 and represents the earliest commentary on this book Bible. The interpretation consists of four books. Book 1 (visions 1 and 2) sets out the story of Susanna, in which the author sees an allegory of the Church - the bride of Christ. In the 2nd book (visions 3 and 4) we are talking about the story of Nebuchadnezzar and the three youths, as well as the four kingdoms mentioned by Daniel: these are the four kingdoms - Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Roman. In the book. 3 (visions 5 - 7) St. Hippolytus speaks of Nebuchadnezzar's visions of a tree and a hand, and also of how Daniel was cast into the lions' den; St., important for contemporaries, is discussed. Hippolytus question about the relationship between the Church and the state. In the book. 4 (visions 8 - 12) discusses the vision of the four beasts, the texts about the ram and the goat, the seventy weeks, the “kings of the south and the north,” and the three Persian kings. The same book contains the earliest mention in Christian writing that Christ was born on December 25, Wednesday, in the 42nd year of the reign of Emperor Augustus. It is believed that this mention is an interpolation, but made very early.
"Chronicle" written by St. Hippolytus in 234, preserved in three Latin and one Armenian translations; Only fragments of the Greek original have survived. The treatise is directed against those contemporaries of St. Hippolytus, who expected the imminent arrival of the Day of Judgment and the subsequent thousand-year reign of the righteous (chiliasm). Saint Hippolytus proves that at the time of writing his book only 5738 years had passed since the creation of the world, while the end of the world should occur after the completion of six thousand years. A significant part of the book is devoted to the division of the land between the descendants of Noah (Gen. 10), as well as a description of the route from Alexandria to Spain. As sources of St. Hippolytus used philosophical and natural science treatises of ancient authors, as well as the Chronicle of Julius Africanus and the Stromata of Clement of Alexandria.
The discourse “On Easter,” mentioned by ancient authors, was for a long time considered lost, with the exception of two fragments in Syriac and one in Latin in the Acts of the Lateran Council. However, in 1926, X. Martin established that one of Chrysostom’s conversations “On Holy Easter,” classified as inauthentic in Min’s edition, belongs to St. Hippolyta. 10 years later, the scientist confirmed his hypothesis by publishing a manuscript dating from the 8th -11th centuries. and containing a large part of the same conversation under the name of "Saint Hippolytus, Bishop of Rome and Martyr." However, some details of the conversation published by Min under the name of Chrysostom, especially its anti-Arian Christology, indicate that in its final form it dates back to the 4th century. Apparently, the sermon of St. Hippolyta was the prototype of this conversation, redone in the 4th century. taking into account the need to resist the Arians. The conversation, just like its supposed prototype of the 3rd century, is devoted to the description of the Old Testament Easter as a prototype of the New Testament, to the glorification of the redemptive feat of Jesus Christ, His descent into hell and victory over death.
Rating 4.2 Votes: 36HIPPOLYTUS of Rome
Hippolytus ("Ιππόλυτος, Hippolytus) of Rome (d. c. 235 in Sardinia) - Christian theologian, church leader, Roman presbyter, who stood in opposition to Pope Callistus (217-222) and his successors Urban and Pontian. According to some evidence, broke with the Roman Church and was proclaimed bishop of Rome by his followers, becoming the first antipope in history. According to legend, he was sent to the mines during the persecution of Emperor Maximin and before his martyrdom he was canonized.
Hippolytus is one of the most outstanding Christian writers of his time, the author of numerous liturgical-canonical, dogmatic, polemical, exegetical and historical works, the last Roman Christian author to write in Greek. The most significant historical and philosophical work of Hippolytus is “The Exposure of All Heresies” (Κατά πάντων αίρεσων έλεγχος), also known as “Philosophumena”. The purpose of this treatise is to prove that the source of heresies (primarily Gnostic teachings) is pagan philosophy and mythology. The treatise contains a wealth of doxographic material and is the most important source on the history of Gnosticism. Hippolytus developed the doctrine of the Trinity, which developed in polemics with modalism (the doctrine according to which the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are modes of a single divine substance) and marked by subordination features. In Christology, Hippolytus insists on the reality of Christ's human nature. His treatise “On Christ and the Antichrist” - the most famous work on this topic in all patriotic literature - had a huge influence on ideas about the Antichrist in the later Christian, including Russian tradition; in particular, he is still extremely popular among Russian Old Believers and non-priests. In his numerous commentaries on biblical books, of which the most famous is the commentary on the Book of Daniel, Hippolytus followed the allegorical method of the Alexandrian school. He also owns the “Apostolic Tradition” - a set of rules concerning the church liturgical life of the Roman Church in the 3rd century, and the “Chronicle”, directed against chiliasm.
