Abstract: In this paper, motivated by the work of Chapman, Vsemirnov and Sun et al, we investigate some arithmetic properties of the generalized Legendre matrices over finite fields. For example, letting $a_1,cdots,a_{(q-1)/2}$ be all non-zero squares in the finite field $mathbb{F}_q$ which contains $q$ elements with $2midq$, we give the explicit value of $D_{(q-1)/2}=det[(a_i+a_j{)}^{(q-3)/2}{]}_{1lei,jle(q-1)/2}$. In particular, if $q=p$ is a prime greater than $3$, then ${\displaystyle }$left(frac{det D_{(p-1)/2}}{p} ight)= �egin{cases} 1 & mbox{if} pequiv1pmod4, (-1)^{(h(-p)+1)/2} & mbox{if} pequiv 3pmod4 ext{and} p>3, end{cases}${\displaystyle }$ where $(cdot/p)$ is the Legendre symbol and $h(-p)$ is the class number of $mathbbQ(sqrt-p)$.
