Called 'the best disciple of Augustine,' St. Prosper of Aquitaine (c. 370-c. 463/465) devoted his life to defending Augustine's doctrines of grace and predestination against those who opposed it.
Prosper’s main attention goes to the leading military men – Constantius, Castinus, Boniface and Aetius. Prosper credited the revival of the empire to the actions of Constantius, Honorius’ general who defeated Constantine iii and rid Gaul of the remaining tyrants (411-415).
The brief summary of literature since 1901, when L. Valentin published his lengthy and influential study of Prosper, is an elegant bibliographical essay that traces the developments in the study of the text and its author.
