  Caesar Baronius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caesar Baronius (October 31, 1538 – June 30, 1607), Italian cardinal and ecclesiastical historian, was born at Sora, and was educated at Veroli and Naples.
It was in the Annales (900) that Baronius coined the term Dark Ages to describe the state of European civilization from about 500 to about 1100.
Baronius makes use of the words of St Augustine: "I shall love with a special love the man who most rigidly and severely corrects my errors." He also undertook a new edition to the Roman martyrology (1586), which he purified of many inaccuracies.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Venerable Cesare Baronius
Baronius bitterly regretted his removal from the Oratory to reside at the Vatican, or even away from Rome when the papal court was absent from the city, a circumstance doubly distressing as it prevented active work on the "Annals".
Baronius was the choice of a majority of the cardinals and, despite Spanish opposition, might have been elected had he not turned his diplomacy to encompass his own defeat.
Baronius himself recognized the possibility of this and made many corrections in his second edition (Mainz, 1601-05); and later it was by his allies, and not by his enemies, that the most thorough efforts at chronological revision were made, a point seemingly lost on those who refer to Pagi's "refutation" of Baronius' errors.

 Newman Reader - Historical Tracts of St. Athanasius
Accordingly, Baronius terminates the eighteen months some time before Lent, 342, which he considers the date of Gregory's entrance, or towards the close of 341, and places their commencement, that is, the first journey of Athanasius in the early part of 340, and the Council of Alexandria in 339.
Baronius urges in behalf of his two Councils that Pope Julius notices in his Letter written from the Council, the complaint of the Eusebians that Athanasius had been admitted to communion, which was undeniably the act of the Council of fifty Bishops.

 Venerable Baronius
In 1578, Baronius moved to Santa Maria in Vallicella (the Chiesa Nuova) which had been given to Philip and the Congregation of the Oratory by Gregory XIII three years before.
UNDER THE FIRM, GUIDING hand of Philip, for a period of thirty years Baronius delivered discourses upon the history of the Church at the meetings of the Oratory; thus at his mentor's insistence the seeds were sown for the monumental task of writing his 12 volume ANNALES ECCLESIAS- TICI (1588-1607).
IN ADDITION TO HIS CONSTANT labors on the Annales, Baronius found himself the confidant of popes, served on various commissions, undertook the revision and correction of the Roman Martyrology, and held the post of Vatican librarian (1597).

Baronius Press aimed to achieve this goal by retypesetting Catholic classic books (rather than republishing facsimiles), and then to bind them using high quality leather.
The first book published by Baronius Press was a new edition of the Douay Rheims.
In 2005 Baronius Press published a new 1962 Missal for use at the Tridentine Mass.

According to Baronius he was born at Rome, and his father was named Porphyrius.
Of his history previous to his pontificate little1 more is known than that he was one of the presbyters who accompanied his pre­decessor into exile, when he was banished by the emperor Gallus to Centum Cellae, now Civita Vecchia.
His return was about the end of the year 252, or early in the year 253-(256 according to Baronius), and he could not have long survived it, as his whole pontificate was only of six or eight months, perhaps even shorter than that.

He was entrusted with the continuation of the annals of Baronius and, after the publication of the first volume, was offered the direction of the Vatican library by Innocent X, which honour he declined.
His continuation of Baronius extends from 1198 to 1565 and was published at Rome, 1646-77.
Although his work is marred here and there by inaccurate chronological data and lack of criticism, the numerous original documents which it reproduces render it very valuable.

After the appearance of the 11th volume, containing a treatise on the Sicilian monarchy proving the papacy's claim to the suzerainty of Naples and Sicily as prior to that of Spain, the whole work was condemned by the Spanish Inquisition.
Baronius became superior of the Oratory in 1593, cardinal in 1596, and was named librarian of the Vatican and charged with the Vatican Press in 1597.

Baronius alleged that he was unworthy and lacked the competence for such a great work; but St. Phillip was inflexible and ordered him under religious obedience to undertake the project.
From Baronius' work the Catholic Church emerged as she had always been, as the pillar of truth.
After some hesitations Baronius dedicated some 30 years of his life to this job and the result was the Ecclesiastical Annals, one of the most serious works of all times.

 Antoine Pagi
Discerning numerous chronological errors, and frequently misstatements of facts in the "Annales ecclesiastici" of Baronius, he made it his life-work to correct them and otherwise elucidate the valuable work.
Pagi's first volume was printed during his lifetime (Paris, 1689); the remaining three volumes, reaching till the year 1198, the last year in the work of Baronius, were completed in manuscript shortly before his death.
Though, on the whole, the "Critica" manifests great care and an unusual knowledge of history, it is not entirely free of errors.

 Societas Christiana » On the Development of Protestant Historiography (Part II)
Baronius conceived of his task as writing a reply to the Lutheran Magdeburg Centuries.
Baronius possessed something of the new critical spirit that was developing in scholarship, and as such he often took issue with previous Church historians.
Nevertheless, for all his desire to be critical, Baronius could be just as injudiciously selective as any Protestant polemicist, and just as driven by purely theological concerns to suppress or magnify documentary evidence as needed: “…Baronius believed a priori that the continuous witness of the Church in intepreting Scripture was valid and authoritative.

 Biography – Pope Paul V – The Papal Library
Toschi's rise had been rapid, for at an early age he was governor of Rome, and, purity of language apart, all admitted him to be a man of courage, an able jurisconsult, and the author of useful works.
A Baronius and a Bellarmine, two eminent men, on this occasion set an example of admirable magnanimity; and the more they depreciated themselves, the more their greatness is to be admired.
But the cause of the court was eloquently defended by Baronius and Bellarmine, those two men of glory and of genius who could not be persuaded to accept the tiara, but never ceased to be the boldest defenders of the Church.

But a still higher stimulus to protestant learning was provided in 1588–1609 when the greatest of Roman Catholic researchers, cardinal Baronius, produced his twelve folios of Annales Ecclesiastici.
It became the object of protestant learning to devote itself to the effective criticism and refutation of the statements and arguments of Baronius.
John Rainolds, president of Corpus Christi college, Oxford, attempted, from the puritanic side, the task of refuting Baronius in 1602.

Gilfillan has found in Baronius an express statement that the martyrs were tested by the question, "Have you kept the Lord's day?" No matter then as to the Acta Martyrum from which Bishop Andrews first produced this story.
Baronius, by the Romish words sacrifice and Mass refers to the celebration of the Lord's supper by these martyrs.
So Gilfillan declares that Baronius uses it in his record of the martyrdoms in A.D. But we have cited the different forms of question recorded by Baronius, and find them to be precisely the same with those of the Acta Martyrum.

All difficulty as to the date was thus at an end; but a new controversy was raised as to the origin of the Greek form of the Martyrdom.

Chrysostom's friend was probably (as Baronius and Montfaucon conjecture) identical with Basil, bishop of Raphanea in Syria, near Antioch, who attended the Council of Constantinople in 381.
The conjecture of Baronius is assented to also by Valesius.
According to Baronius, this Zeno was bishop of Tyre, but Valesius makes an ingenious objection to this view, and asserts that some other city must have been the real see of Zeno.

 Blogcritics Comments on Parody Is Dead
Baronius says: " Any act which interferes with nature (in a sexual context) is wrong.
And note that I also threw in two other religions as well, so I wasn't just picking on Catholics...it's just that my mini-tirade was based on the new Papal edict that supporting homosexual life styles--even if you're straight--is reason to deny someone entrance into the mystic realm of priesthood.
I managed to snake us in there, why keep arguing the point?" I guess, according to Baronius, that my wife and I are Great Sinners since we got married at 50 intending to (continue) having sex with no thought of having children.

As to who this Paulinus was, and when this confession was sent to him, there has been some confusion.
Theodoret has been supposed to write “bishop of Thessalonica,” and then has been found fault with by Baronius for describing the Paulinus the Eustathian bishop of Antioch as of Thessalonica in order to conceal the fact of Damasus and the Antiochene Paulinus being in communion.
But the patronage of this Paulinus by Damasus was notorious, and if Theodoret wanted to ignore it, he need not have inserted this document at all.

Afterwards he was deposed by a council at Rome, on account of his wicked life; but he remained pope nevertheless, since nobody would excommunicate the pope, however wicked his life might be, as Baronius relates.
If they were sent, they did not thrust themselves into the chair, as Baronius says notwithstanding; but if they thrust themselves into it, or were thrust into it by others through unlawful means, then they were not sent, and consequently, had no succession from the apostles." Introduction.
