Quotes:Minucius Felix, Marcus

Zirkoff, Boris

Felix, M. Minucius. Distinguished Roman lawyer, the author of a dialogue entitled *Octavius, which occupies a conspicuous place among the early Apologies for Christianity, and is a work of high literary quality, which was for a long time believed to belong to Arnobius, notwithstanding the express testimony of Jerome, whose words leave no room for doubt (de Viris III., 58). The time, however, when Minucius Felix lived is very uncertain; by some he is placed as early as the reign of M. Aurelius; by some as late as Diocletian while others favor intermediate points between these two extremes. It seems safe to assume, however, that Minucius flourished about 230 a.d.; his eminence as a lawyer is distinctly asserted by both Jerome and Lactantius, but beyond this we know next to nothing about his personal history; acc. to his own words, he was at first a Gentile, later converted to Christianity. See Loeb Classical Library for the text of his work.
