Synopsis

Saint Victorinus was bishop of the Pannonian city of Poetovio (or Pettavium; now the modern Ptui, Slovenia) in the second half of the third century. He is described by St Jerome as the first Latin exegete of the Bible. Of the many works which Victorinus produced, however, we have mere fragments of a very few, and only his Commentary on the Apocalypse (In Apocalypsin) is complete. This commentary on the Book of Revelation is also the earliest surviving complete one, which was written by Victorinus during the reign of the Emperor Gallienus (258-260). The text used by the translator is that of Martine Dulaey, Victorin de Poetovio. Sur l'Apocalypse et autres écrits (Source Chrétiennes 423. Paris: Les Éditions du Cerf, 1997).
