	Sulpicius Severus - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		At this time Severus came under the powerful influence of St Martin, bishop of Tours, by whom he was led to devote his wealth to the Christian poor, and his own powers to a life of good works and meditation.
		Severus loses no opportunity for laying stress on the crimes and follies of rulers, and on their cruelty, though he once declares that, cruel as rulers.
		Accordingly we find that Severus, in narrating the division of Canaan among the tribes, calls the special attention of ecclesiastics to the fact that no portion of the land was assigned to the tribe of Levi, lest they should be hindered in their service of God.

	Sulpicius Severus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sulpicius Severus was an aristocrat of Aquitaine intended for an administrative career and educated in the classical manner who, after the early death of his wife, renounced his career and entered the monastic life.
		Sulpicius' correspondence with his friend Paulinus of Nola tells us something of Sulpicius' own life and opinions and more of his actions in founding a monastery and decorating its buildings.
		Sulpicius wrote a world chronicle, (Chronicorum Libri duo or Historia sacra), which extends from the creation of the world to A. 400, omitting the historical events recorded in the New Testament writings.

	Sulpicius Severus
		His wife, however, was snatched away by a premature death and shortly after 390 Severus renounced his brilliant career and followed his friend Paulinus into monastic retirement.
		The "World Chronicle" of the so-called Sulpicius Severus has nothing to do with the subject of this biography; it was written in Spain in the sixth century.
		Sulpicius Severus has been rightly styled the Christian Sallust; his diction, notably in the "Chronicle", is elegant and reminds the reader of the classical age.

		Indeed, as far as was possible, he wished to be still just what he had {189} been, and looked back to the period of his life when he was a private man, as a time when he was more sensibly favoured with divine power than afterwards.
		Accordingly, he was urgent in his intervention at court, but Maximus had by this time forgotten the lesson of humility which, two years since, he and the empress had so dutifully learned; or perhaps he thought, for one reason or another, that he had got an advantage over Martin, and understood him.
		Martin's end was delayed till he was past the common age of man. With the weight of eighty years upon him, he had betaken himself to a place, at the extremity of his charge, to settle a quarrel existing between the clergy there.

	St. Martin
		The great St. Martin, the glory of Gaul and the light of the Western church in the fourth age, was a native of Sabaria, a town of Upper Pannonia, the ruins of which appear upon the river Gunez, in Lower Hungary, two leagues from Sarwar, upon the Raab, near the confines of Austria and Stiria.
		One day, in the midst of a very hard winter and severe frost, when many perished with cold, as he was marching with other officers and soldiers, he met at the gate of the city of Amiens a poor man, almost naked, trembling and shaking for cold, and begging alms of those that passed by.
		Sulpicius adds that St. Martin used to tell them with tears in his eyes that, from this time, it cost him more difficulty and longer prayers to cast out devils than formerly.

	Saint Martin and the Search for Holiness \| Regine Pernoud \| IgnatiusInsight.com
		Sulpicius Severus, being a lawyer, had made a name for himself in "upper-middle-class" circles while he was still a very young man. His reputation is inseparable from that of the man who would later be called Paulinus of Nola, with whom he was bound by ties of friendship.
		Moreover, Sulpicius himself was preparing to follow the example of his friend Paulinus, who had begun to divest himself of all his property, following the evangelical counsel of poverty to the letter.
		Sulpicius Severus, while in retirement on his estate, received many visitors, and that is how he heard about the bishop of Tours, Martin.

	Chapter 3: Priscillianism and Pagan Survivals in Spain
		According to Sulpicius Severus, our principal authority on the history of Priscillian, he was of noble birth, enjoyed great wealth, was bold, restless, eloquent, learned, and ready at debate.
		He was in a better position than Sulpicius to know what happened at Saragossa, and moreover would hardly have attempted to deceive the pope, if an actual condemnation of the Priscihianist leaders had taken place.
		If Priscillian is the author of these tracts, it is difficult to explain their heavy and involved style, and also the mediocre defense which he makes of his doctrine, for Sulpicius Severus had praised his literary skill and intellectual ability very highly.

	The Identity of the Historical Jesus
		Momigliano sums up the consensus by stating there is no question Severus depended, at least in part, on Tacitus: “Sulpicius Severus uses Tacitus elsewhere, and this particular passage shows traces of Tacitean style under the early fifth-century veneer.
		This virtually eliminates Severus or another later Christian as the source for this material since a later Christian redactor almost certainly could not have arrived at the choice of stirps simply by accident, as we have seen.
		If Severus had simply introduced such interpolations in his own style into, say, the second part of the fragment – without making a hopeless attempt to pass them off as Tacitus’ – his credibility would not have suffered; but this was not done.

	Severus Is Not Quoting Tacitus: A Rebuttal to Eric Laupot
		Severus only says "Titus is reported to have deliberated..." He never mentions Tacitus as his source, and we know Severus must have used sources other than Tacitus in the same work.
		On this assumption, it would follow that Severus simply inferred that the growth of the church was the reason Titus went ahead and burned the Temple, from the fact that his source (shared by Orosius) said the size of the Church made the Temple obsolete.
		Severus certainly believed Christians were in fact a "branch" that sprouted from the "root" of Judaism.

	The Revealer: St. Blog's Parish
		In truth (and in charity), Sulpicius belongs to a fringe schismatic group once led by the now late Archbishop LeFebvre, who was excommunicated for ordaining schismatic bishops (in contravention of an express promise he made to the Church not to do so).
		Dear Sulpicius, I state objective facts: you are indeed a fringe group, your number is small, and Mother Church declares you and yours "schismatics." It isn't my word--it's the Church's.
		Severus must see me as forever loyal to our pope, and I may seem biased, but I still think his questions deserve to be answered (intelligently).

		Sulpicius also had talked to this man who was baptized immediately but lived many years after that.
		Sulpicius tells us that it was an angel who awakened Avitianus to tell him Martin was outside.

		Another hypothesis[8] holds that Sulpicius or a later redactor may have interpolated an actual historical account of Titus' council of war from a non-Tacitean but classical eyewitness source such as Marcus Antonius Iulianus.
		While there is a remote possibility that Orosius and Severus could have independently arrived at similar-sounding language at the same point in their narratives, this is extremely unlikely.

	A Vindication , by Edward Gibbon
		For my part, I stand under the protection of the general usage of the Latin language, and with a strong presumption in favour of the justice of my cause, or at least of the innocence and fairness of my intentions; since I have translated a familiar word, according to its acknowledged and ordinary acceptation.
		But, "if I had looked into the passage, and found that Sulpicius Severus there expressly tells us, that the Apocalypse was the work of St. John, I could not have committed so unfortunate a blunder, as to cite this Father as saying, That the greater number of Christians denied its Canonical authority."
		Such indeed was the opinion of Severus himself, and his opinion has obtained the sanction of the Church; but the Christians whom he taxes with folly or impiety for rejecting this sacred book, must have supported their error by attributing the Apocalypse to some uninspired writer; to John the Presbyter, or to Cerinthus the Heretic.
