Description

Unfinished draft of a text of uncertain nature (letter?), which seems to be dealing with ecclesiastical politics of the IVth cent., and particularly with the Arian Controversy: the people mentioned in the text could be Maximinus of Trier, Dionysios of Milan, and Didymos the Blind, all three partisans of Athanasios, the bishop of Alexandria who opposed Arius
