CRONICHETTA MENSUALE
A singular scientific and popular periodical published in Rome from 1 October 1866 to 1895, edited successively by three members of the Armellini family: Abbot Pietro, a scientist (d. 1875), Prof. Tito (d. 1892), and Prof. Mariano Armellini (v.), a Christian archaeologist (d. 1896).
The first series, which bore the lengthy title: *C. m. delle più importanti moderne scoperte nelle scienze naturali e loro applicazioni alle arti ed industria e commodi della vita e di altre invenzioni*, and the second series had a predominantly scientific and technical content; the second series included additional archaeological notices collected by Mariano Armellini. The third series was restricted by the latter to archaeology and history alone. The periodical, of small format and size, was printed by various publishers, lastly by the Vatican Press.
CRONIE - CRONOGRAFO DELL' A. 354
It is adorned with many illustrations and comprises: 1) on the first page the dedication *Valentine lege feliciter, vivas, gaudeas, floreas in deo*; Furius Dionysius Philocalus is credited with the title, which must indicate not only the decorator of the pamphlet but also its compiler or author. The Valentinus to whom it was dedicated seems to be the *tribunus protectorum ex primicerio*, who in 349 was *dux Illyrici* and in 365 was *consularis Piceni* (v. FILOLOGIA). 2) A list of consuls up to the year 354, the most faithful and complete of all, also called the *Anonymus Norisianus* after its first editor Enrico Noris (Florence 1689), which depends on the same source as the *Fasti Capitolini*. 3) A Paschal canon calculated initially from 321 to 354 and then extended to 412, with many calculation errors after 359. 4) A list of the prefects of Rome from 254 to 354 with the consular *Fasti* for the same years. 5) The *Deposito episcoporum* (v.) and the *Deposito martyrum* (v.), i.e., lists of the martyrs and popes venerated in Rome. 6) The list of popes up to Liberius, commonly called the *Catalogo Liberiano* (v. CATALOGHI DI PAPI E DI VESCOVI). 7) The consular *Fasti* of Rome in two versions. One, which runs from Caesar to 539, is found immediately after the calendar and is incomplete and disordered; the other contains an index of kings and then annals from Caesar to 403 and from 455 to 496. It is called the *Anonymus Cuspiniani* after its first partial editor Giovanni Cuspiniano (Basel 1553) or also the *Consularia ravennatia* from the city where it was at least partly compiled. It is evident that originally it did not form part of the compilation of the *C. II* Mommsen calls *Annales* and *Fasti Vindobonenses*. 8) Following is a universal chronicle under the name of *Chronica Hieronymi*, composed in 334, with reference to biblical history. It is the version of a reworking of the chronicle of Hippolytus (v.), which also recurs in the *Liber genealogus*, FREDEGARIO (PSEUDO) (v.), in the *Chronicon paschale* (v.) or *Alexandrinum*, in the *Liber generationis*, and in the *Anonymus* or *Barbarus Scaligeri* (v. LEGGI BARBARICHE). 9) A chronicle of the kings and dictators of Rome and then of the emperors from Caesar to the death of Licinius. It derives mainly from Suetonius. 10) A description of Rome by regions, certainly compiled after 334, which, together with the *Curiosum urbis Romae* that dates from a similar
