Epiphanios Scholastikos
Epiphanios Scholastikos (Epiphanius) was a 6th century translator from the Eastern Roman Empire .
Life
Soon after, Epiphanios (Latin Epiphanius ) wrote 550 Latin excerpts from the popular Greek church histories of Socrates Scholastikos , Sozomenos and Theodorets in Italy , which his friend Cassiodorus then combined in twelve books to form a Historia tripartita . In the Middle Ages, this was the usual manual for older church history . Epiphanios thus became one of the mediators of Greek literature in the Latin-speaking West. He also translated biblical commentaries and dogmatic letters for Cassiodorus.
