INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF HISTORY

  1. [79] R. de Gourmont, Le Latin mystique (Paris, 1891, 8vo), p. 258.
  2. [80] See these alleged autographs in the Bibliothèque nationale, nouv. acq. fr., No. 709.
  3. [81] F. Blass has enumerated the chief of these motives with reference to the pseudepigraphic literature of antiquity (pp. 269 sqq. in the work already quoted).
  4. [82] E. Bernheim (Lehrbuch, pp. 243 sqq.) gives a somewhat lengthy list of spurious documents, now recognised as such. Here it will be enough to recall a few famous hoaxes: Sarchoniathon, Clotilde de Surville, Ossian. Since the publication of Bernheim's book several celebrated documents, hitherto exempt from suspicion, have been struck off the list of authorities. See especially A. Piaget, La Chronique des chanoines de Neuchâtel (Neuchâtel, 1896, 8vo).
  5. [83] When the modifications of the primitive text are the work of the author himself, they are "alterations." Internal analysis, and the comparison of different editions, bring them to light.
  6. [84] See F. Blass, ibid., pp. 254 sqq.
