Arnobius the Younger ( Latin: Arnobius Junior) was a Christian priest or bishop in Gaul, [1] who wrote from Rome around the year 460. [2]
He is the author of a mystical and allegorical commentary on the Psalms, first published by Erasmus in 1522, and by him attributed to the elder Arnobius. [1]
It has been frequently reprinted, and in the edition of De la Barre, 1580, is accompanied by some notes on the Gospels by the same author. [1] More recently, CCSL 25 has produced a critical edition of his commentary. [2]
To him has sometimes been ascribed the anonymous treatise, Arnobii catholici et Serapionis conflictus de Deo trino et uno ... de gratiae liberi arbitrii concordia, which was probably written by a follower of Augustine. [1] The opinions expressed in his commentary have been called semi-Pelagian, probably due to his opposition to Augustine's doctrine of predestination. [2] Rondeau infers an African origin for Arnobius due, in part, to his dependence on Ticonius. [2]
