Sanchoniatho
A forgery of the nine books of this “author” was printed at
Bremen in 1837 The “original” was said to have been discovered in the
convent of St. Maria de Merinhâo by Colonel Pereira, a Portuguese; but
it was soon discovered (1) that no such convent existed, (2) that there
was no colonel in the Portuguese service of the name, and (3) that the
paper of the MS. displayed the water-mark of an Osnabrück paper-mill.
(See Richard Of Cirencester.)
