In his ‘De Viris Illustribus,’ St. Jerome cited his friend Dexter as the author of a work about early Christianity in Iberia, a text that got lost. In the seventeenth century, the Jesuit philosophy professor Jerónimo Román de la Higuera claimed to have discovered Dexters report in the Abbey of Fulda and soon after, a text he probably composed himself. The work was credulously reprinted at Seville in 1627, and at Lyon in the same year (see Bib# 6239880/Fr# 378.2 in this collection).
