	CHURCH FATHERS: Acts or Disputation Against Fortunatus (Augustine)
		FORTUNATUS said: Therefore you have denied that the soul is of God, so long as it serves sins, and vices, and earthly things, and is led by error, because it cannot happen that either God or His substance should suffer this thing.
		FORTUNATUS said: You assert that according to the flesh Christ was of the seed of David, when it should be asserted that he was born of a virgin, and should be magnified as Son of God.
		FORTUNATUS said: You asseverate that we say that God is cruel in sending the soul, but that God made man, breathed into him a soul which assuredly He foreknew to be involved in future misery, and not to be able by reason of evils to be restored to its inheritance.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.10.28
		Although Fortunatus was deeply familiar with classical poets and often imitated lines from their poems, his own classicizing style verged on the obscure.
		Fortunatus has hence paid a price for challenging the patience and linguistic competence of his modern readers, and his mannered style and presentation have repeatedly left him vulnerable to a misleading characterization as an exemplar of literary decadence.
		After Gregory restored the cathedral at Tours, for instance, Fortunatus composed a series of inscriptions to be used as captions to describe the scenes from St. Martin's career which were memorialized in the frescoes on the walls of the church (10.6).

	CATULLAN EXTREMISM IN FORTUNATUS’ POEMS TO AGNES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		There is no little irony in the fact that scholars now possess two editions of Fortunatus' poetry published in the twenty-first century, [1] while interpretation of what the poet wrote substantially ended in the nineteenth.
		The line in Fortunatus' poem marks its midpoint, and the diction owed to Catullus 63 adds, by its emphatic placement at the line's end, to the interpretive moves the poet manages.
		For, in verses in which the poet asserts Agnes' purity, Fortunatus alludes to a moment in Catullus' wedding hymn in which purity is challenged by images of chastity too vigorously pursued (vv.
