The importance of Fulgentius, the exiled bishop of Ruspe (A.D. 503–523), as the spokesman of the orthodox African church against the Arian Vandals has long been recognized, and so Fulgentius is primarily known for his polemical tracts addressed to the Vandal king Thrasamund (496–523) and other Arian...

Nevertheless, the real significance of Fulgentius as aristocrat, monk, bishop, and litterateur is revealed in his Epistulae. |
