ORIENTIUS AND LACTANTIUS BY A. HLIDSON-WILLIAMS That Orientius 1 was influenced by Lactantius has been affirmed by some critics and denied by others. Ebert 2 maintains that O. drew his ideas from the Institutiones of L. Teuffel 3 observes that O.'s Commonitorium "scheint sich besonders an Lact. Inst. anzu- schliessen". Bellanger 4 compares certain passages drawn from O. and L. which bear some similarity to each other, and comes to the conclusion that O. was particularly dependent on L. Haverfield 5, on the other hand, indicates some discrepancies between the ideas of the two writers and is unable to find any resemblance which indicates the influence of the one on the other. Schanz 6 declares that "das Urteil Eberts und Teuffels, dass sich 0. bewusst an L. angeschlossen habe, wird durch die Berührungen mit den Inst. (Bell. p. 264) nicht gerechtfertigt". The view held by Haverfield and Schanz is natural enough, for the only tangible evidence adduced by any of the former school, viz. the passages referred to by Bellanger, is dubious in the extreme. In the contrasted passages the similarity is but superficial and argues no more than 238 O.'s acquaintance with the Scriptures and theological literature
