Pseudo-Tertullian

Pseudo-Tertullian is the scholarly name for the unknown author of Adversus Omnes Haereses, an appendix to the work De praescriptionem haereticorum of Tertullian. It lists 32 heresies, and there is consensus that this work is not by Tertullian himself.[1]

A traditional theory is that the work is a Latin translation of a Greek original, a lost work Syntagma written by Hippolytus, c. 220. Recent scholarship, agreeing with a theory of Richard Adelbert Lipsius, suggests that this work Syntagma was the common source for Philastrius and the Panarion of Epiphanius, also.[2]

The name "Pseudo-Tertullian" is also applied to the author of a poem written against Marcion. The Catholic Encyclopedia describes it as "doggerel hexameters", and mentions two theories: that the poem was written by Commodian; and that Adversus Omnes Haereses was written by Victorinus of Pettau.[3]

gollark: You have to `bind` and `connect` still, and there seem to be separate "receive from" and "send to" things anyway, and there's a special "join_multicast_v6" thing, and with multicast stuff you have to worry about different interfaces and somehow binding to different addresses than the one you actually want to listen on and it returns useless errors and is generally aææææææææææa.
gollark: UDP is not a stream-oriented protocol and yet you have to muck with sockets in convoluted ways.
gollark: As I said, the socket APIs map *terribly* onto this.
gollark: > does udp even work over IP multicast... yes.
