Hiddo and Ahijah likewise wrote what remains as 1 Kings

Same move for Iddo and Ahijah in 2 Chron. 9: Solomon's acts credited to Nathan, Ahijah, and Iddo's vision.

Those writings look like 1 Kings, Vulgate 3 Kings — anonymous, yet best ascribed to the prophets of that age.

So again: not vanished canonical books, but books we still read under other titles.

Latin

VI. Idem etiam dicimus de libris Hiddo Videntis, & Ahiae Scilonitae, qui memorantur 2 Chron. 9. ubi Salomonis gesta dicuntur scripta fuisse in libris Nathan Prophetae, & in Prophetia Ahiae Scilonitae, & in visione Hiddo Videntis. Etenim videntur illi scripsisse librum primum Regum, qui tertius Regum dicitur in versione vulgata. Nullius enim quidem scriptoris nomen praefert, sed aliis non potest commodius tribui, quam Prophetis illorum temporum.

About this text

Louis Le Blanc, a Reformed professor at Sedan, sets out theology in theses argued against Rome: Scripture, faith, grace, free choice, good works and the saints.

This volume holds the Theses on Theology I–XLIII and On Faith I–XXII, in eighteen sections.

Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu (1614–1675) was minister and professor of theology at the Academy of Sedan, the Reformed school on France's eastern border. His Theses were disputed by students over many years and collected in a London folio (1675).

The Theological Theses range across the whole Reformed system — Scripture, God, predestination, grace, and justifying faith — in the crisp thesis-and-proof form of the seventeenth-century schools.

Date1675 AD (Sedan theses; London collection)
