The article offers a contribution to the discussion raised by P. Nautin about the identity of the author of the several works transmitted under the name of ‘Hippolytus’ and argues that the  Synagoge  ( Chronicon ) of 235 A.D. is the work of Hippolytus (so-called ‘oriental’ or ‘exegete’), not simply identical with the author of the  Elenchos  ( Refutatio omnium haeresium ). The article observes that the long section on the Diamerismos-Stadiasmos ( Synagoge  43-613) shares the polemical thrust against Iulius Africanus's  Chronographiae  as well as the theological profile of the ‘Logostheologie’ of Hippolytus. Besides this coherence of the  Synagoge  there are important divergences in the work. There is a “partitioning/populating” of the earth byθνη, χ    ραι and ν    σοι ( Synagoge  44-52.56-197) (developed in opposition to Celsus's  Alethes Logos  by the interpretation of Gen 10) and – apart from this – a prosopographical ethnography according to languages intended to be an interpretation of Gen 11 ( Synagoge  199-201), that is completed using geoethnographic material ( Synagoge  202-238) and an itinerarium of the Mediterranean Sea ( Synagoge  240-613). Thus, while the Diamerismos of the author of the Elenchos (the first part, i.e.  Synagoge  45-195) aims to illustrate the universal ethnographic movement starting after the Flood, the Diamerismos of Hippolytus (the second part, i.e. Synagoge 198-239) introduces an ethnic-linguistic “division/fragmentation” starting with Babel and perpetuating itself in the history. For Hippolytus, only a new human and divine initiative, of course that of the incarnate Logos and the transmission of the gospel all over the world, will overcome this “sin of division”. Hence, thanks to its combination of exegetic and literary features, Hippolytus's descriptio temporum links the universal dimension of time (the scheme of 6000 years) with the universal dimension of space. This combination has a great significance in the development of Christian chronography.
