From Joseph the Younger, in a poem of the ninth age,
divided into Odes, an anonymous writer of his Life in the
tenth century, noted by the Bollandists, a homily of St.
Adalbert, bishop of Prague, and martyr, of the same age,
and from other monuments, free from later interpolations;
on all which see Pinius the Bollandist, t. 4, Julij, p.
239, who confutes at large the groundless and inconsistent
surmises of Baillet. Above all, see Nerinio, abbot of the
Hieronymites at Rome, who has fully vindicated the memory
of St. Alexius in his Dissertation De Templo et Cœnobio,
SS. Bonifacii et Alexii, in 4to. Romæ, 1752. On his
Chaldaic Acts, see Jos. Assemani, ad 17 Martii, in Calend.
Univ. t. 6, p. 187, 189; and Bibl. Orient. t. 1, p. 401.
