QUODVULTDEUS

QUODVULTDEUS. - Friend and disciple of s. Agostino, to whom he suggested the composition of the book De haeresibus. Elected archbishop of Carthage, he was expelled by Genserico (Vittore di Vita, Hist. persec. Afric. prov., 1, 15), lived in Campania, where he died about 453. With great probability, three sermons De Symbolo (PL 40, 637 ff.), a sermon Contra Iudaeos, paganos et arianos (PL 42, 1117-30), and another Adversus quinque haereses (PL 42, 1101 ff.) are to be attributed to Q. In addition, the four sermons in PL 40, 677-708 and two published by A. Mai in the Nova Patrum Bibliotheca, I, part 1ª (Rome 1852), pp. 251-82, are attributed to him. A better text of the sermon De tempore barbarico, delivered after the occupation of Carthage, was published by G. Morin, S. Aurelii Augustini tractatus sive sermones inediti (Kempten 1917, p. 181 ff.), who also sees in Q. the De promissionibus (v.).
