This work was formerly ascribed to Beza, but is a compilation by several anonymous authors under the direction and with the co-operation of Beza. Some portions are literally borrowed from Crcspin's " Marty rology." Sencbier thinks that the first part was prei)arcd by Beza, tlie other two under his direction. See Soldan, I. 88; Heppe, Theod. Beza, p. 382 sq. ; La France Prot. (2d ed.), II. 535; and especially the notice bibliographique, etc., of R. Reuss in the third volume of Baum's edition.
