DIDYMUS (?3o9-?394)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 208 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DIDYMUS (?3o9-?394) , surnamed " the Blind," ecclesiastical writer of
Alexandria
 , was born about the year 309. Although he became blind at the age of four, before he had learned to read; he succeeded in mastering the whole circle of the sciences then known; and on entering the service of the
Church
  he was placed at the head of the Catechetical school in
Alexandria
 , where he lived and worked till almost the close of the
century
 . Among his pupils were Jerome and Rufinus. He was a loyal follower of
Origen, though stoutly opposed to Arian and Macedonian teaching. Such of his writings as survive show a remarkable knowledge of scripture, and have distinct value as theological literature. Among them are the De Trinitate, De Spiritu Sancta (Jerome's Latin
translation
 ), Adversus Manichaeos, and notes and expositions of various books, especially the
Psalms
  and the Catholic Epistles.

Migne
 , Patrol. Graec. xxxix.; 0. Bardenhewer, Patrologie, pp. 290-293 (Freiburg, 1894).
