De Viris Illustribus quotes Hegesippus' account of James from the fifth book of Hegesippus' lost Commentaries

Apparently, Jerome suggested an identification of James the Just with the Apostle James, son of Alphaeus and/or James, the son of Mary Cleophas.

There is quite a lot of of confusion around various James in the bible, too (maybe worth another thread?).
