simplicianとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Saint Simplician (died August 13, 400) succeeded Saint Ambrose as bishop of Milan in 397. He was already an old man by that time. He was considered responsible for the conversion of Augustine of Hippo, who praised him for his learning and zeal, and for that of Saint Alypius. He had recounted the story of Marius Victorinus, an African rhetorician, and his public baptism and conversion to Christianity at a time when Christians were banned from the classrooms due to Emperor Julius's edict. This story helps St. Augustine to "truly" convert.(See St. Augustine's Confessions)
