Hugh of Saint-Victor’s ‘Chronicle’ (De tribus maximis circumstantis gestorum): Lists of Hebrew names
Unedited.
William M. Green, ‘Hugo of St Victor De tribus
maximis circumstantiis gestorum’, Speculum 18 (1943)
484–93, at 492, refers to the next section (ff. 10r–16r) as: ‘Miscellaneous lists of
Hebrew names. From the Old Testament are taken the genealogies of the patriarchs,
kings of Edom, heads of the twelve tribes, the twelve spies, twenty-four chiefs of
the sanctuary, twenty-four singers of the temple, David’s mighty men, forty-two
encampments in the wilderness, and forty-eight cities of Levites. The high priests,
Maccabees, and Herods named in group ii are again listed, and the books of the Bible
are classified as in Didascalicon, iv, 2’. Green lists the
places in the Bible that this is drawn from: Genesis iv, x, xi, xiv, xxii, xxv,
xxvi, xxxvi, xlvi; Exodus vi, xviii, xxxi; Num. i, xiii, xxvi, xxxiii; Josh. xxi; II
Sam. iii, xxiii; II Kings xxiii.; I Chron. ii, iii, vi, vii, xi xxiv, xxv, xxvi.
