This article offers an edition of an unpublished fragment in the J. Rendel Harris collection at the University of Birmingham. The fragment appears to date from the second half of the fourth century and is noteworthy because it mentions a bishop of the city of Oxyrhynchus. While the name of the bishop is partially lost, the name Dorotheus appears to be the most likely candidate. If such is the case, this is the first piece of papyrological evidence for this bishop who otherwise only appears in ecclesiastical records as an attendee of the Council of Constantinople in A.D. 381.

The paper examines the historiographic production of Maximilian Wietrowsky SJ (1660–1737), especially the method of his work with sources. Although the author admits his nonauthenticity, referring to his sources in numerous marginals, he fails to mention his main source – the French historian Louis Maimbourg (1610–1686). This was perhaps caused by Maimbourg’s conflict with Rome, his expulsion from the Jesuit order and putting some of his works on a list of banned books. The paper compares Wietrowsky’s Latin translations with the French originals and shows to what extent it is a literal translation or a revision, which more or less draws from the original source. The essay concentrates in detail on Historia S. Joannis Nepomuceni, the process of its emergence, the compilation of several sources and the further textual tradition in the form of translations into vernacular languages.
