# Concerning The Time Of This History.

9th century (source section) · Historical source

Source: Martyrs’ Mirror. Original heading: CONCERNING THE TIME OF THIS HISTORY.

Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

Note.—P. J. Twisck gives two different accounts
concerning it; in the first he fixes the date,
A. D. 869. Chron. 9th book, page 306, col. 2, from
Hist. Andr., fol. 160. In the second he fixes it,
A. D. 884. Page 311, col. 2, from John Munster,
fol. 83. In the first place he calls him Johannes
Scotus, in the second, Johannes Erigena; however,
as the account itself declares, it is the same person.

As to the dates 869 and 884, to which the history
of said Johannes has been referred by him, some one
might think that this could not very well be reconciled,
which may, however, be easily done, if we
take the year 869 as the time in which said martyr
flourished and propagated his doctrine, and the year
884 as the time when he died and was martyred for
the principles which he taught.
