Julianus Pomerius was a Christian priest in fifth century Gaul. He wrote five treatises, only one of which, ''De Vita Contemplativa'', survives. He was renowned in rhetoric and grammar and was friends with Ennodius and Ruricius. He appears to have fled from Mauritania, North Africa to Gaul to escape the Vandals, towards the end of the centuran. He becamd an abbot and a teacher of rhetoric at Arles,〔(Buckfast Chronicle, Volumes 17-18 ), 1947〕 where he was known for the teacher of Caesarius, a great conservator of Augustine of Hippo's teachings. It is known that their titles probably emphasized the ascetic ideal. Mary Josephine Suelzer said of Pomerius in her 1947 book ''Julianus Pomerius, the Contemplative Life'': There is no additional information known about him. ==The De Vita Contemplativa== *The first book of the treatise was based around the question of whether a cleric, embroiled by pastoral duties, could ever attain the rewards of the saint who withdrew from the world. *The second book of treatise detailed the active life of a good priest, warning against covetousness and advocating abstinence. * The third book was less specifically aimed at priests and was applicable to all Christians, laity and clergy alike. It delineated the four major vices: pride, cupidity, envy and vanity, of which pride was considered the greatest. * The third book also dealt with the four virtues: temperance, justice, fortitude and prudence. * This part of treatise is like a Christian manual and advice is more practical than theoretical. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julianus Pomerius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
