Rufinus of Aquileia

c. 344 – 411 · Post-Nicene Latin Fathers · Latin

Tyrannius Rufinus; the principal Latin translator of Greek patristic literature in the late 4th century. His Latin renderings of Origen, Basil, Gregory of Nazianzus, and the Pseudo-Clementines preserved a substantial body of Greek thought for the Western Church. His Apology against Jerome (and Jerome's reply) is a primary witness to the first Origenist controversy.
