Prosper

Prosper of Aquitaine, a man scholarly in style and vigorous in statement, is said to have composed many works. Of these I have read a Chronicle that bears his name, which runs from the creation of the first man, according to Divine Scripture, until the death of the emperor Valentinian and the taking of Rome by Genseric, king of the Vandals. I also take to be his an anonymous book against certain works of Cassian, which the church of God finds wholesome but which he brands as harmful. And in fact some of the opinions of Cassian and of Prosper on the grace of God and on free will are at odds with one another. The letters of Pope Leo against Eutyches, On the True Incarnation of Christ, sent to various people, are also thought to have been dictated by him. [a]
