RUFINUS, TYRANNIUS, presbyter and theologian, was born at or near Aquileia at the head of the Adriatic, probably between 340 an 345.
About the same time a visit of Jerome to Aquileia led to a close friendship between the two, and shortly after Jerome's departure for the East Rufinus also was drawn thither (in 372 or 373) by his interest in its theology and monasticism.

Tyrannius Rufinus is chiefly known from his relation to Jerome, first as an intimate friend and afterwards as a bitter enemy.
Rufinus' friends at Aquileia, like those at the Pinetum and at Rome, were anxious to gain from him a knowledge of the great church-writers of the East, and especially of Origen.
Rufinus had hoped, as we learn from the same Peroration (567), to translate some at least of the Commentaries of Origen upon the other Epistles of St. Paul; but he first determined to finish those upon the Pentateuch, a task in which, as we have seen, he was overtaken by death.

In the autumn of 397 Rufin.us embarked for Rome, where, finding that the theological controversies of the East were exciting much interest and curiosity, he published a Latin translation of the Apology of Pamphilus for Origen, and also (39899) a somewhat free rendering of the ir~pi andpxand3v (or Dc Principiis) of that author himself.
At the instigation of Theophilus of Alexandria, Anastasius (pope 398 402) summoned Rufinus from Aquileia to Rome to vindicate his orthodoxy; but he excused himself from a personal attendance in a written Apologia pro fide sua.

Rufinus took great liberties indeed with Origen's original Greek text, so much so that it is impossible to exculpate him from the charge of mutilation of Origen's text, and even possibly of forgery in the sense of including in his Latin translation, and ascribing to Origen, ideas which very probably came from Rufinus' own mind.
This literary dishonesty of Rufinus, however, he was not alone in possessing, even in the case of Origen's work, because he himself tells us in his Prolog to the First Principles, that he merely acted as others did before him.
One is inclined to think that Rufinus was somewhat of a humorist in excusing his mutilations of Origen's text as being of matters "inconsistent with and opposed to each father." Why Rufinus and these others he speaks of should have set themselves up as judges of Origen's Christianity, the reader may himself easily understand.

The basis of our knowledge of the saint's personality and mission is contained in a chapter of the church history by Rufinus, Composed about the year A.D. This chapter is based on oral information given to Rufinus by a Georgian prince named Bakur whom he met in Palestine about the year 395.
This Bakur was a member of the royal house of Iberia, and was telling of events which had occurred little more than half a century earlier, during the lifetime of his own parents or at least his grandparents.
When due allowance is made for the pious raptures of Rufinus and his informant, there is no reason to challenge the essential accuracy of their joint account.

The conciliatory letter to Rufinus which accompanied this and which was an answer to a friendly one from Rufinus(10) was not sent on by Jerome's friends (489); and Rufinus, thinking that his old friend had completely turned against him, composed his Apology (434-482) which drew forth Jerome's reply (482-541).
Rufinus' Apology is an answer to Jerome's letter to Pammachius and Oceanus.

385–410: and it was at this moment that Rufinus appeared, according to his friend Macarius’ dream (439) like a ship laden with the merchandize of the East, an Italian who had lived some 25 years in Greek lands, and sufficiently equipped for the work of a translator.
Rufinus probably arrived at Aquileia in the beginning of 399, and remained 408there 9 or 10 years.
As to his Commentaries on the Ephesians he declares that he merely put side by side the opinions of various commentators, indicating at times his knowledge that some were heretical: and as to his anti-Ciceronian dream, he ridicules the idea that a man can be bound by his night visions.
