Demetrianus Demetrianus was a former pupil of Lactantius; little is known about Demetrianus.〔Michel Perrin (editor): ''Lactance, ''L’Ouvrage du Dieu Créateur' '(Introduction, critical edition, and translation of ''De Opificio Dei''). Vol. 2: Commentaire et Index, (Les Éditions du Cerf), p. 231.〕 It was to him that Lactantius, a convert to Christianity, addressed his book ''On the Workmanship of God'' (''De Opificio Dei''),〔In chapter 1, section 1 of Lactantius, ''De Opificio Dei et… Fragmenta Vetera de Lactantio Testimonia'', ed. Samuel Brandt, in L. Caelius Firmianus Lactantius, ''Opera Omnia'', part 2, fascicle 1. Vienna: Academia Litterarum Caesarea, 1893.〕 probably written in Bithynia around 304 C.E.〔Perrin, ''Lactance'', p. 231.〕 In'' Divine Institutes'' 2.10.15, Lactantius also mentioned having written for Demetrianus about God’s workmanship.〔In Lactantius, ''Divinae Institutiones'', ed. Samuel Brandt, in L. Caelius Firmianus Lactantius, ''Opera Omni''a, part 1, section 1. Vienna: Academia Litterarum Caesarea, 1890.〕 Lactantius urged him not to allow wealth to lead him away from virtue (''On the Workmanship of'' God 1). In addition Jerome wrote of Lactantius, “we have his…two books of letters to Demetrianus” (''Concerning Illustrious Men'', 80).〔Quoted in Lactantius, ''De Opificio Dei et… FragmentaVetera de Lactantio Testimonia'', p. 162.〕 (Only a few words of these letters survive, preserved by Jerome.) 〔Quoted in Lactantius, ''De Opificio Dei et…Fragmenta Vetera de Lactantio Testimonia'', pp. 156-157.〕 Demetrianus seems to have had an official job (''On the Workmanship of Go''d 1.4), and its description seems to contain another reference to Christianity. In 1.9 of the same book, Lactantius reminded Demetrianus where his real allegiance lay. The evidence clearly points to Demetrianus having been a Christian.〔Perrin, ''Lactance'', vol. 2, p. 231.〕 == References ==
