Chronological List of Saints and their Writings

For source texts see Fr. Jacques Paul Migne's two great patrologies, Patrologia Latina and Patrologia Graeca. For Syriac and
other Eastern languages the Patrologia Orientalis is less complete and can be largely supplemented by the Corpus Scriptorum
Christianorum Orientalium. Noted collections containing re-edited patristic texts (also discoveries and new attributions) are the
Corpus Christianorum, Sources Chrtiennes, Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, and on a lesser scale Oxford Early
Christian Texts and Fontes Christiani.

Cyprian, Epistle 75.8

Ecclesiastical History VI. 43. 5-22)
Ecclesiastical History VI. 43.11ff.)
Two letters of Cornelius to Cyprian are preserved in the latter's correspondence (Epistles 49 and 50)
"Eusebius (Hist. eccl. 6,43,3-4) knows of three epistles of Cornelius' to Bishop Fabius of Antioch. Written in Greek, the
first of them dealt with the schism of Novatian, 'telling the facts concerning the roman Synod, and what was decreed
by them of Italy and Africa and the regions thereabout' (ibid. 6,43,3), the second 'on the resolutions of the synod' and
the third 'on the doings of Novatian' (ibid. 4). In the last, from which Eusebius quotes at length (cf. above, p. 215 f),
Cornelius gives a repulsive picture of Novatian's life and character in order to warn the bishop of Antioch, who was
tempted to favor the schismatic. However, critical examination shows up many of the charges as untrustworthy,
based seemingly on malicious gossip. Another letter in the same vein to Bishop Dionysius of Alexandria (Euseb., Hist.
eccl. 6,46,3) no longer exists. Socrates (Hist. eccl. 4,28) mentions a circular to all the Churches, in which were justified
from Scripture the decisions in the vexed question of apostates." (Patrology, vol. 2, pp. 236-237)

There are 205, and possibly 279, homilies of Origen that are extant either in Greek or in Latin translations. The
homilies preserved are on Genesis (16), Exodus (13), Leviticus (16), Numbers (28), Joshua (26), Judges (9), I Sam. (2),
Psalms 36-38 (9), Canticles (2), Isaiah (9), Jeremiah (7 Greek, 2 Latin, 12 Greek and Latin), Ezekiel (14), and Luke (39).
The homilies were preached in the church at Caesarea, with the exception of the two on 1 Samuel which were
delivered in Jerusalem.
29 unpublished homilies by Origen were discovered in the Bavarian State Library. This text can be found online.
Three commentaries on New Testament books survive in large measure. Of the 32 books in the Commentary on John,
only nine have been preserved. The Commentary on Romans is extant only in the abbreviated Latin translation of
Rufinus, though some Greek fragments also exist. The eight books preserved of the Commentary on Matthew (Books
10-17) cover Matthew 13.36-22.33. There also exists a Latin translation of the commentary by an unknown translator
which covers Matthew 16.13-27.66. One commentary on a book of the Old Testament, the Commentary on the Song
of Songs, has also been preserved in part, in a Latin translation of Rufinus.
Origen's Philocalia include fragments of the third book of the commentary on Genesis. There is also Ps. i, iv.1, the
small commentary on Canticles, and the second book of the large commentary on the same, the twentieth book of
the commentary on Ezekiel, and the commentary on Hosea.
Eusebius had a collection of more than one hundred letters of Origen, and the list of Jerome speaks of several books
of his epistles. Except for a few fragments, only three letters have been preserved. The first, partly preserved in the
Latin translation of Rufinus, is addressed to friends in Alexandria. The second is a short letter to Gregory
Thaumaturgus, preserved in the Philocalia. The third is an epistle to Sextus Julius Africanus, extant in Greek, replying
to a letter from Africanus (also extant), and defending the authenticity of the Greek additions to the book of Daniel.

St. Pamphilus of Caesarea (d. 309)

-

An Apology for Origen (only the first book is extant, in a Latin version made by Rufinus). Saint Jerome stated in his De
Viris illustribus that there were two apologiesone by Pamphilus and another by Eusebius. He discovered his mistake
when Rufinus's translation appeared in the height of the controversy over Origen, and rushed to the conclusion that
Eusebius was the sole author. He charged Rufinus, among other things, with palming off under the name of the
martyr what was really the work of the heterodox Eusebius, and with suppressing unorthodox passages. As to the first
accusation there is abundant evidence that the Apology was the joint work of Pamphilus and Eusebius.

(Chronographia)), gives an epitome of universal history from the sources, arranged according to nations. The second
part, the Canons ( (Chronikoi kanones)), furnishes a synchronism of the historical material in parallel
columns, the equivalent of a parallel timeline.

Letter on the Council of Nicaea
Apology for Origen
A treatise against Hierocles (a Roman governor), in which Eusebius combated the former's glorification of Apollonius
of Tyana in a work entitled A Truth-loving Discourse (Greek: Philalethes logos); in spite of manuscript attribution to
Eusebius, however, it has been argued (by Thomas Haggand more recently, Aaron Johnson) that this treatise "Against
Hierocles" was written by someone other than Eusebius of Caesarea.
Praeparatio evangelica (Preparation for the Gospel), commonly known by its Latin title, which attempts to prove the
excellence of Christianity over every pagan religion and philosophy.
Demonstratio evangelica (Proof of the Gospel) is closely connected to the Praeparatio and comprised originally
twenty books of which ten have been completely preserved as well as a fragment of the fifteenth. Here Eusebius
treats of the person of Jesus Christ. The work was probably finished before 311.
Prophetic Extracts (Eclogae propheticae). It discusses in four books the Messianic texts of Scripture. The work is
merely the surviving portion (books 69) of the General elementary introduction to the Christian faith, now lost. The
fragments given as the Commentary on Luke in the PG have been claimed to derive from the missing tenth book of
the General Elementary Introduction see D. S. Wallace-Hadrill); however, Aaron Johnson has argued that they cannot
be associated with this work.
On Divine Manifestation or On the Theophania (Peri theophaneias). It treats of the incarnation of the Divine Logos,
and its contents are in many cases identical with the Demonstratio evangelica. Only fragments are preserved in
Greek, but a complete Syriac translation of the Theophania survives in an early 5th-century manuscript. Samuel Lee,
the editor (1842) and translator (1843) of the Syriac Theophania thought that the work must have been written "after
the general peace restored to the Church by Constantine, and before either the 'Praeparatio,' or the 'Demonstratio
Evengelica,' was written . . . it appears probable . . . therefore, that this was one of the first productions of Eusebius, if
not the first after the persecutions ceased." Hugo Gressmann, noting in 1904 that the Demonstratio seems to be
mentioned at IV. 37 and V. 1, and that II. 14 seems to mention the extant practice of temple prostitution at Hieropolis
in Phoenica, concluded that the Theophania was probably written shortly after 324. Others have suggested a date as
late as 337.

the name "Eusebius of Caesarea: Gospel Problems and Solutions."

Panarion "medicine-chest" (also known as Adversus Haereses, "Against Heresies"). It lists, and refutes, 80 heresies,
some of which are not described in any other surviving documents from the time. Epiphanius begins with the 'four
mothers' of pre-Christian heresy 'barbarism', 'Scythism', 'Hellenism' and 'Judaism' and then addresses the sixteen
pre-Christian heresies that have flowed from them: four philosophical schools (Stoics, Platonists, Pythagoreans and
Epicureans), and twelve Jewish sects. There then follows an interlude, telling of the Incarnation of the Word. After
this, Epiphanius embarks on his account of the sixty Christian heresies, from assorted gnostics, to the various
trinitarian heresies of the fourth century, closing with the Collyridians and Messalians. Another feature of the
Panarion is the access its earlier sections provide to lost works, notably Justin Martyr's work on heresies, the Greek of
Irenaeus' Against Heresies, and Hippolytus' Syntagma.
On the Twelve Gems (De Gemmis) survives in a number of fragments, the most complete of which is the Georgian.

Rufinus translated the Historia Ecclesiastica of Eusebius of Caesarea and continued the work from the reign of
Constantine I to the death of Theodosius I (395). It was published in 402 or 403.
Origen's commentary on the New Testament Epistle to the Romans, along with many of his sermons on the Old
Testament, survive only in versions by Rufinus. The full text of Origen's De principiis (On first principals) also survives
only in Rufinus's translation. Jerome, earlier a friend of Rufinus, fell out with him and wrote at least three works
opposing his opinions and condemning his translations as flawed. For instance, Jerome prepared a (now lost)
translation of Origen's De principiis to replace Rufinus's translation, which Jerome said was too free.

The other translations of Rufinus are

St. Amphilochius of Iconium (c. 340 394-403)

-

Most of Amphilochius' work has been lost. Eight homilies have survived, including the oldest known sermon on the
Feast of the Purification of the Lord (In Occursum Domini). We also have his Oration at Midpentecost (In
Mesopentocostem), one of the earliest references to the feast of Mid-Pentecost. In addition to his homilies, there is
also an epistle to the council of Iconium of 376, and a didactic work (of questionable authenticity) Epistula Iambica ad
Seleucum. The spurious "Iambics to Seleucus" offers an early and important catalogue of the canonical writings; other
spurious fragments, current under his name, are taken from scriptural discourses, dogmatic letters and controversial
writings.[6] The polemical treatise Against False Asceticism of Amphilochius of Iconium is expressly directed against
the beliefs and practices of the Encratites and Apotactites of rural Lycaonia. It seems to be written in the second
half of the 370s.
His only genuine extant work is, according to Bardenhewer, the "Epistola Synodica", a letter against the Macedonian
heresy in the name of the bishops of Lycaonia, and probably addressed to the bishops of Lycia.

Augustine retreated from his earlier theological positions. In fact, the Latin title literally means 're-treatments" (not
"Retractions") and though in this work Augustine suggested what he would have said differently, it provides little in

the way of actual "retraction." It does, however, give the reader a rare picture of the development of a writer and his
final thoughts.

Works about virtues and vices in general: "Peristeria" (P. G., 79, 811-968), a treatise in three parts addressed to a
monk Agathios; "On Prayer" (peri proseuches, ib., 11651200); "Of the eight spirits of wickedness" (peri ton
th'pneumaton tes ponerias, ib., 114564); "Of the vice opposed to virtues" (peri tes antizygous ton areton kakias, ib.,

"Works about the monastic life": Concerning the slaughter of monks on Mount Sinai, in seven parts, telling the
story of the author's life at Sinai, the invasion of the Saracens, captivity of his son, etc. (ib., 590-694); Concerning
Albianos, a Nitrian monk whose life is held up as an example (ib., 695-712); "Of Asceticism" (Logos asketikos, about

The history covers the years 305439, and experts believe it was finished in 439 or soon thereafter, and certainly
during the lifetime of Emperor Theodosius II, i.e., before 450. The purpose of the history is to continue the work of
Eusebius of Caesarea.

Octateuch and Quaestiones dealing with the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles
Dialogues ("Eranistes" or "Polymorphus"). Describes the Monophysites as beggars passing off their doctrines gathered
by scraps from diverse heretical sources and himself as the orthodox. The work is interspersed with lengthy florilegia
(anthologies of patristic citations), which may be the reason for its preservation. These florilegia provide evidence of
Theodoret's considerable learning, with 238 texts drawn from 88 works, including pre-Nicene writers such as Ignatius,
Irenaeus and Hippolytus, as well as theologians such as Athanasius and the Cappadocian Fathers. This use of florilegia
heralds a new stage in doctrinal development, in that it creates a new authority for Christian theology: that of the
'Fathers'.
Counter-Statements to Cyril's 12 Anathemas against Nestorius
Demonstrations by Syllogism
Two works, On the Holy and Life-giving Trinity and On the Incarnation of the Lord, have survived through ascription to
his opponent Cyril of Alexandria.
Only minor fragments (cf. Epist. 16) of Theodoret's defense of Diodorus and Theodore (438-444) have been
preserved.

There are many lost works. Theodoret mentions having written against Arius and Eunomius, probably one work, to
which were joined the three treatises against the Macedonians. There were, besides, two works against the
Apollinarians, and of the Opus adversus Marcionem nothing has been preserved.
Among apologetic writings was the Ad quaestiones magorum (429-436), now lost, in which Theodoret justified the
Old Testament sacrifices as alternatives in opposition to the Egyptian idolatry,[16] and exposed the fables of the Magi
who worshiped the elements (Church History v. 38).
De providentia, or Ten Discourses on Providence, consists of apologetic discourses, proving the divine providence
from the physical order (chapters i-iv), and from the moral and social order (chapters vi-x). They were most probably
delivered to the cultured Greek congregation of Antioch, sometime between 431 and 435. Unlike most sermons, they
are reasoned arguments, lectures rather than homilies on scriptural texts.
The Graecarum Affectionum Curatio or Cure of the Greek Maladies, subtitled The Truth of the Gospel proved from
Greek Philosophy, arranged in twelve books, was an attempt to prove the truth of Christianity from Greek philosophy
and in contrast with the pagan ideas and practices. As such, it forms one of the last Apologies written, since in an age
when Christianity was dominant, the need for apologies gradually died out. The truth is self-consistent where it is not
obscured with error and approves itself as the power of life; philosophy is only a presentiment of it. This work is
distinguished for clearness of arrangement and style.
The Ecclesiastical History of Theodoret, which begins with the rise of Arianism and closes with the death of Theodore
in 429 (despite being completed in 449-450) is very different in style from those of Socrates Scholasticus and
Sozomen. It contains many sources otherwise lost, specially letters on the Arian controversy; however, the book is
extremely partisan, the heretics being consistently blackened and described as afflicted with the 'Arian plague'. The
narrative is more compressed than in the other historians, and Theodoret often strings documents together, with
only brief comments between. Original material of Antiochian information appears chiefly in the latter books.
Upon the request of a high official named Sporacius, Theodoret compiled a Compendium of Heretical Accounts
(Haereticarum fabularum compendium), including a heresiology (books i-iv) and a "compendium of divine dogmas"
(book v), which, apart from Origen's De principiis and the theological work of John of Damascus, is the only systematic
representation of the theology of the Greek Fathers.
Compared to the more than 500 letters known to Nicephorus Callistus in the fourteenth century, only about half that
number had survived to the twentieth century. Three collections survive, though there is some overlap between
them. 179 letters were edited by J Sirmond in the seventeenth century. To these, J. Sakkelion added another 47
letters he published from a manuscript he found at the Monastery of Patmos in 1855. 36 letters have been preserved
in conciliar records. These letters provide glimpses of rural Christianity in northern Syria, as well as insight into
episcopal relationships; hints of the development of Christological issues between the Councils of Ephesus and
Chalcedon can be seen; there are letters of consolation and commendation; throughout there is revealed the
generous and sensitive soul of a pastor. An English translation of the surviving letters is part of the Nicene and PostNicene Fathers (2 ser., iii. 250-348).

Commentaries on Genesis to Judges, Ruth, Kings, Chronicles, Judith, Esther, Canticles, Proverbs, Wisdom, Sirach,
Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Maccabees, Matthew, the Epistles of St Paul, including Hebrews; and various
treatises relating to doctrinal and practical subjects, including more than one series of homilies. In De institutione
clericorum he brought into prominence the views of Augustine and Gregory the Great as to the training which was
requisite for a right discharge of the clerical function. One of his most popular and enduring works is a spectacular
collection of poems centered around the cross, called De laudibus sanctae crucis, a set of highly sophisticated poems
that present the cross (and, in the last poem, Rabanus himself kneeling before it) in word and image, even in
numbers.
De universo libri xxii., sive etymologiarum opus, a kind of dictionary or encyclopedia, heavily dependent upon Isidore
of Seville's Etymologies, designed as a help towards the typological, historical and mystical interpretation of Scripture,
the De sacris ordinibus, the De disciplina ecclesiastica and the Martyrologium. All of them are characterized by
erudition (he knew even some Greek and Hebrew) and includes "Veni Creator Spiritus," a hymn to the Holy Spirit,
often sung at Pentecost and at ordinations. (Centuries later "Veni Creator Spiritus" would be used by Gustav Mahler
as the first choral of his epic eighth symphony.)

He commented also the works of Boethius, Peter Lombard, John Climacus, as well as those of, or attributed to,
Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. He also translated Cassian into easier Latin. He wrote theological treatises, such as
his "Summa Fidei Orthodox"; "Compendium Theologicum", "De Lumine Christian Theori", "De Laudibus B. V.
Mari", and "De Prconio B. V. Mari" (in both of which treatises he upholds the doctrine of the Immaculate
Conception), "De quatuor Novissimis", etc.; philosophical treatises, such as his "Compendium philosophicum", "De
venustate mundi et pulchritudine Dei" (a most remarkable sthetic dissertation), "De ente et essenti", etc.; a great
many treatises relating to morals, asceticism, church discipline, liturgy, etc.; sermons and homilies for all the Sundays
and festivals of the year, etc.
He wrote also a series of treatises, laying down rules of Christian living for churchmen and for laymen of every rank
and profession. "De doctrin et regulis vit Christian", the most important of these treatises, was written at the
request, and for the use, of the Franciscan preacher John Brugman. These and others which he wrote of a similar
import, inveighing against the vices and abuses of the time, insisting on the need of a general reform, and showing
how it was to be effected, give an insight into the customs, the state of society, and ecclesiastical life of that period.
His treatise De Meditatione was the last that he wrote, in 1469.
