Fasti Apostolici: A Chronological Survey of the Years Between the Ascension of Our Lord and the Martyrdom of SS. Peter and Paul

Written by William Henry Anderdon and originally published in the mid-19th century, Fasti Apostolici serves as a scholarly attempt to reconstruct the precise chronology of the early Christian Church. The text focuses on the period immediately following the Ascension of Christ, aiming to reconcile biblical accounts with historical records to establish a timeline leading to the martyrdom of Saints Peter and Paul.

Anderdon, a prominent English Jesuit writer and nephew of Cardinal John Henry Newman, brought a rigorous theological perspective to the work. The text is characterized by the academic conventions of the Victorian era, reflecting the intellectual climate of religious historiography during the Catholic Revival in England. It remains a notable example of late 19th-century hagiographical study, designed to provide a structured narrative for scholars and clergy alike.
