Notable Authors in The Patrologia

These are some of the more notable authors included in the Patrologia, with the volume(s) in which they appear, some at least as notable for their own deeds/actions as for their works.

Most of the works are ecclesiastic in nature, but there are also documents of literary, historical or linguistic (such as the Gothic bible in vol. 18) interest.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or authors:

    “a notable prince that was called King John;
    And he ruled England with main and with might,
    For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)

    “Most bad books get that way because their authors are engaged in trying to justify themselves. If a vain author is an alcoholic, then the most sympathetically portrayed character in his book will be an alcoholic. This sort of thing is very boring for outsiders.”
    —Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)
