Bertram Otto Bardenhewer (Mönchengladbach, 16 March 1851 – Munich, 23 March 1935) was a German Catholic patrologist. His Geschichte der altkirchlichen Literatur is a standard work, re-issued in 2008.[1] For Bardenhewer, a patrologist was not a literary historian of the Church Fathers, but a historian of dogmatic definitions.[2]
