enlarged second edition, a year later than the first, which includes a
translation of Christoph Matthaeus Pfaff ’s original account of his (spurious)
discoveries of four new textual fragments of Saint Irenaeus, the second-century
Church Father (1715, see Bib# 4655345/Fr# 1411 in this collection) at Torino.
Whiston considered their authenticity beyond doubt, and welcomed them as
confirming the genuineness of the (forged) ‘Apostolic Constitutions’.</span></p><p></p>
