Chapter CXVII.
Gregory,2550
bishop of Nazianzen, a most eloquent
man, and my instructor in the Scriptures, composed works, amounting in
all to thirty thousand lines, among which are On the death of his
brother Cæsarius, On charity, In praise of the Maccabees, In
praise of Cyprian, In praise of Athanasius, In praise of Maximus the
philosopher after he had returned from exile. This latter however,
some superscribe with the pseudonym of Herona, since there is another
work by Gregory, upbraiding this same Maximus, as if one might not
praise and upbraid the same person at one time or another as the
occasion may demand. Other works of his are a book in hexameter,
containing, A discussion between virginity and marriage, two
books Against Eunomius, one book On the Holy Spirit, and
one Against the Emperor Julian. He was a follower of Polemon in
his style of speaking. Having ordained his successor in the bishopric,
during his own life time, he retired to the country where he lived the
life of a monk and died, three years or more ago, in the reign of
Theodosius.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
