About this book
Saint Ambrosius, De Fide Ad Gratianum Augustum Libri 5
Author: Saint Ambrose
Year: 1910
Saint Ambrose’s De fide ad Gratianum Augustum libri V is a five‑book Latin treatise defending Nicene Christianity (Trinity and Incarnation) against Arianism, written ca. the late 4th century; the standard 19th‑century Latin edition is in Patrologia Latina Vol. XVI, and accessible English and Latin texts are available online. Book I–II: Exposition of the nature of God and the Trinity; arguments against Arian denial of the Son’s consubstantiality. Book III–V: Christology and the mystery of the Incarnation; pastoral and doctrinal implications for the Church and sacraments. Saint Ambrose (Aurelius Ambrosius, c. 340–397) was the influential Bishop of Milan who shaped Western Latin theology, fought Arianism, composed hymns, and helped define church‑state relations; his feast day is celebrated on 7 December.
