Victorinus the Bishop

Victorinus, bishop of Pettau, did not know Latin as well as he knew Greek. For this reason his works, though noble in thought, are poor in style. They are these: commentaries On Genesis, On Exodus, On Leviticus, On Isaiah, On Ezekiel, On Habakkuk, On Ecclesiastes, On the Song of Songs, On the Apocalypse of John, Against All Heresies, and many others. At the last he received the crown of martyrdom.
