They were subsequently exposed by Scipione Maffei, and elaborately defended by Pfaff –who never confessed – in the present work. Pfaff ’s lengthy defence of his Irenaeus forgeries occupies pp. 573–724. The forgeries were then incorporated in the grand new edition of Irenaeus, edited by René Massuet (Venice, 1734, see Bib# 4103032/Fr# 1414), as ‘S. Irenaei fragmenta a Pfaffio inventa’, together with Maffei’s animadversions, Pfaff’s reply, and the definitive further rebuttal by Maffei. Pfaff was finally proven the immediate perpetrator by Adolf von Harnack in 1900.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_4103031" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
