AMMONIO

Italian original Cite

AMMONIUS. - Scrittore ecclesiastico alessandrino del tempo di Origene. Eusebio (Hist. eccl., VI, 19, 9-10) e dopo di lui s. Girolamo ne lodano gli scritti, ma lo confondono a torto con Ammonio Sacca, il maestro di Origene.He wrote a book On the Agreement between Jesus and Moses, directed against Gnostics and Manichaeans. It is not certain that he is to be identified with the Alexandrian A. to whom the same Eusebius elsewhere (and perhaps also Maruthas of Maiferkat) attributes a gospel synopsis, the very one on which he based his gospel canons, just as his identity with A., bishop of Thmuis, also remains uncertain.
