Fathers of the Third Century: Hippolytus, Cyprian, Caius, Novatian, Appendix
He also confirms August 13 as the date on which a Hippolytus was celebrated but this again refers to the convert of Lawrence, as preserved in the Menaion of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The latter account led to Hippolytus being considered the patron saint of horses.
During the Middle Ages , sick horses were brought to St Ippolyts , Hertfordshire , England, where a church is dedicated to him. Hippolytus' principal work is the Refutation of all Heresies. Miller published them in under the title Philosophumena , attributing them to Origen of Alexandria. They have since been attributed to Hippolytus.
In a marble statue of a seated figure originally female, perhaps personifying one of the sciences was purportedly found in the cemetery of the Via Tiburtina and was heavily restored. On the sides of the seat was carved a paschal cycle , and on the back the titles of numerous writings by Hippolytus. Hippolytus' voluminous writings, which for variety of subject can be compared with those of Origen, embrace the spheres of exegesis , homiletics , apologetics and polemic , chronography , and ecclesiastical law.

Hippolytus recorded the first liturgical reference to the Virgin Mary , as part of the ordination rite of a bishop. Of exegetical works usually attributed to Hippolytus, the best preserved are the Commentary on the Prophet Daniel and the Commentary on the Song of Songs. The commentary on the Song of Songs survives in two Georgian manuscripts, a Greek epitome , a Paleo-Slavonic florilegium , and fragments in Armenian and Syriac as well as in many patristic quotations, especially in Ambrose of Milan 's Exposition on Psalm It is generally regarded as an instruction relating to a post-Baptismal rite of anointing with oil as a symbol of receiving the Holy Spirit.
The commentary was originally written as part of a mystagogy , an instruction for new Christians. Scholars have usually assumed the Commentary On the Song of Songs was originally composed for use during Passover , a season favored in the West for Baptism. About , he wrote the Apostolic Tradition , which contains the earliest known ritual of ordination.
His chronicle of the world, a compilation embracing the whole period from the creation of the world up to the year , formed a basis for many chronographical works both in the East and West. In the great compilations of ecclesiastical law that arose in the East since the 3rd century, the Church Orders many canons were attributed to Hippolytus, for example in the Canons of Hippolytus or the Constitutions through Hippolytus. How much of this material is genuinely his, how much of it worked over, and how much of it wrongly attributed to him, can no longer be determined beyond dispute, however a great deal was incorporated into the Fetha Negest , which once served as the constitutional basis of law in Ethiopia — where he is still remembered as Abulides.
During the early 20th century the work known as The Egyptian Church Order was identified as the Apostolic Tradition and attributed to Hippolytus; nowaday this attribution is hotly contested. Differences in style and theology lead some scholars to conclude that some of the works attributed to Hippolytus actually derive from a second author. As most scholars consider them to not have been written by him, they are often ascribed to " Pseudo-Hippolytus ". The two are included in an appendix to the works of Hippolytus in the voluminous collection of Early Church Fathers.
Hippolytus is an important figure in the development of Christian eschatology. With the onset of persecutions during the reign of Septimus Severus, many early Christian writers turned to eschatology. On Christ and the Antichrist is one of his earliest works. Hippolytus was greatly influenced by Irenaeus. Of the dogmatic works, On Christ and the Antichrist survives in a complete state and was probably written about Hippolytus follows the long-established usage in interpreting Daniel's seventy prophetic weeks to be weeks of literal years.
Hippolytus gave an explanation of Daniel's paralleling prophecies of chapters 2 and 7, which he, as with the other fathers, specifically relates to the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans. His interpretation of events and their significance is Christological. This would be ended by Christ's Second Advent, the resurrection of the righteous, and the destruction of said Antichrist.

After which would come the judgment and burning up of the wicked. Hippolytus did not subscribe to the belief that the Second Coming was imminent. He assumed, like Irenaeus his teacher, that inasmuch as God made all things in six days, and these days symbolize a thousand years each, in six thousand years from the creation the end will come. He apparently based his calculation on the Septuagint which had the world beginning about BC.
Because on the Apodosis the hymns of the Transfiguration are to be repeated, the feast of St. Hippolytus may be transferred to the day before or to some other convenient day. The feast of Saint Hippolytus formerly celebrated on 22 August as one of the companions of Saint Timotheus was a duplicate of his 13 August feast and for that reason was deleted when the General Roman Calendar was revised in The Catholic Encyclopedia sees this as "connected with the confusion regarding the Roman presbyter resulting from the Acts of the Martyrs of Porto.

It has not been ascertained whether the memory of the latter was localized at Porto merely in connection with the legend in Prudentius, without further foundation, or whether a person named Hippolytus was really martyred at Porto, and afterwards confounded in legend with Hippolytus of Rome. Earlier editions of the Roman Martyrology also mentioned on 30 January a Hippolytus venerated at Antioch , but the details it gave were borrowed from the story of Hippolytus of Rome.
