Excerpta Latina Barbari
The ''Excerpta Latina Barbari'', also called the ''Chronographia Scaligeriana'', is a late antique historical compilation, originally composed in Greek in AD 527–539 but surviving only in a Latin translation from the late 8th century. The identities of the author/compiler of the original and of the translator unknown. Naming and genre The name by which the ''Excerpta'' is now conventionally known is derived from its first editor, Joseph Justus Scaliger. He described the work as "quite useful excerpts from the first chronological volume of Eusebius, Africanus, and others, translated into Latin by a senseless ignoramus who had no skill at Greek or Latin." The term ''Barbarus Scaligeri'' ('Scaliger's barbarian') may be given to the unidentified author or translator, but is also used as a name of the chronicle. The conventional name is misleading in that the work does not consist of excerpts. In 1579, the earliest reference to it in print referred to it as an "Alexandrine chronicle" ...
