Dionysius bishop of Corinth, A.D. 170, of whom little now is known, appears to have been in considerable repute in the days of Eusebius, for eight epistles which he had written:
1, to the Lacedaemonians; 2, to the Athenians; 3, to the believers of Nicomedia, the capital of Bithynia; 4, to the Church at Gortyna, and the other churches of Crete; 5, to the Church in Amastris, together with those throughout Pontus; 6, to the Gnossians; 7, to the Romans; and 8; to Chrysophora, an eminent Christian matron.
These are all lost except a few fragments preserved by Eusebius; Hist. Eccl. 4:23, and 2:25. See extracts from these fragments in Lardner, Works (ed. Kippis), 2:144 sq. The Fragmenta are given in Gallandii Bibl. Patr.
1:675, and in Routh, Reliquiae Sacrae (Oxon. 1814), 1:163 sq. See Fabricius, Bibliotheca Graeca, 4:408; 12:175 (ed. Harles); Ceillier, Hist. Gin. d. auteurs sacres (Paris, 1865), 1:461.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
