	Victorinus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Victorinus, born to a family of great wealth, was a soldier under Postumus, the first of the so-called Gallic emperors.
		Victorinus held the title of tribunus praetorianorum in 266/267, and was co-consul with Postumus in 267 or 268.
		Victorinus' mother, Victoria (or Vitruvia), continued to hold power after the death of Victorinus and she arranged for his deification and, after considerable payment to the troops, the appointment of Tetricus I as his successor.

		Victorinus also wrote a short treatise on the week of creation which was published by William Cave in 1688 from a Lambeth codex of the ninth century.
		Victorinus thus not only paid the price of his faithfulness by forfeiting his life in martyrdom: the bulk of his compositions were likewise silenced.
		Victorinus was far from being an isolated figure in concentrating attention on the Apocalypse although his is the earliest extant consecutive commentary on it.

		Victorinus says that the word "days" is not contained in the Hebrew original nor in the Brescian codices, but it was probably inserted from Theodotion or else inserted here from the margin as a word to be understood.
		Victorinus deletes the word "two," for even though it is presupposed by the accompanying exposition, it nevertheless is not found in any edition of the sacred text.

	PreTribulation Rapture : St. Victorinus on the Rapture
		Victorinus (died A.D. 304), Bishop of Petau, who wrote an early commentary on the book of Revelation, gives an explanation of Revelation 6:14 which includes his belief that "the Church shall be taken away" sometime in the future when the passage is fulfilled.
		It seems even more likely in light of the fact that Victorinus was said by the anti-Chiliast Jerome to have been a known premillennialist; yet his commentary was clearly amended in the passage regarding Revelation 20 to read as if he were Augustinian (i.e., amillennial).
		Indeed, if the Victorinus mentioned by Jerome be the same as our author, the mention of Genseric proves the subsequent interpolation of his works....

	Victorinus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Victorinus was one of the rebel emperors that ruled in Gaul during the period in which Gaul had seceded from Rome and become a separate empire under Postumus during the Third Century A. Victorinus took the place of Marius, an emperor who was on the throne for only a few days.
		Victorinus had to defend his territory against the able Roman emperor Claudius Gothicus, who had succeeded Gallienus in A. During Victorinus’ reign, Spain broke away from the rebel Gallic Empire and was re - united with the Roman Empire.
		Victorinus' mother Vitruvia evidently wielded considerable power in the government of the rebel state, because it was she who chose Tetricus to succeed Victorinus to the throne.

	St. Victorinus
		According to St. Jerome, who gives him an honourable place in his catalogue of ecclesiastical writers, Victorinus composed commentaries on various books of Holy Scripture, such as Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Isaias, Ezechiel, Habacuc, Ecclesiastes, the Canticle of Canticles, St. Matthew, and the Apocalypse, besides treatises against the heresies of his time.
		Born on the confines of the Eastern and Western Empires, Victorinus spoke Greek better than Latin, which explains why, in St. Jerome's opinion, his works written in the latter tongue were more remarkable for their matter than for their style.
		Like many of his contemporaries he shared the errors of the Millenarians, and for this reason his works were ranked with the apocrypha by Pope Gelasius.

	Victorinus Overview
		The style or method of reading is to place Victorinus' theology within the context of mid-fourth century Latin trinitarian polemics: in practice this means connecting and comparing what he says with other western trinitarian writings of the mid-fourth century.
		Victorinus also left behind commentaries on the Pauline epistles to the Galatians, Ephesians and Philippians (commentaries on Romans and I and II Corinthians have not survived), and was the first commentator on Paul in the Latin language.
		Though passing mentions of Marius Victorinus in patristic scholarship usually acknowledge his influence upon Augustine, Boethius, Cassiodorus, Bede, Alcuin and Isidore of Seville, and despite such a memorable conversion and sophisticated trinitarian theological treatises, Victorinus nonetheless remains underappreciated today in the on-going re-mapping and expanding understanding of fourth century trinitarian theology.

	Oxford Scholarship Online: Marius Victorinus' Commentary on Galatians
		Despite Victorinus’ deep immersion in the world of late Roman rhetoric and philosophy, his commentaries on Paul are very much the work of the churchmen.
		Victorinus’ works on Paul are shown to have provided an important precedent for later Latin commentators like Ambrosiaster and Augustine, who followed Victorinus in adapting the literary-critical techniques of the Latin schools of grammar and rhetoric.
		Victorinus was indeed the initiator of the ‘rediscovery of the apostle Paul’ in the Latin church.
