Pope St. Cornelius I (d. 253)
-          Cyprian, Epistle 75.8
-          Ecclesiastical History VI.43.5-22)
-          Ecclesiastical History VI. 43.11ff.)
-           Two letters of Cornelius to Cyprian are preserved in the latter's correspondence (Epistles 49 and 50)
-          "Eusebius (Hist. eccl. 6,43,3-4) knows of three epistles of Cornelius' to Bishop Fabius of Antioch. Written in Greek, the first of them dealt with the schism of Novatian, 'telling the facts concerning the roman Synod, and what was decreed by them of Italy and Africa and the regions thereabout' (ibid. 6,43,3), the second 'on the resolutions of the synod' and the third 'on the doings of Novatian' (ibid. 4). In the last, from which Eusebius quotes at length (cf. above, p. 215 f), Cornelius gives a repulsive picture of Novatian's life and character in order to warn the bishop of Antioch, who was tempted to favor the schismatic. However, critical examination shows up many of the charges as untrustworthy, based seemingly on malicious gossip. Another letter in the same vein to Bishop Dionysius of Alexandria (Euseb., Hist. eccl. 6,46,3) no longer exists. Socrates (Hist. eccl. 4,28) mentions a circular to all the Churches, in which were justified from Scripture the decisions in the vexed question of apostates." (Patrology, vol. 2, pp. 236-237)

-          Origen's commentary on the New Testament Epistle to the Romans, along with many of his sermons on the Old Testament, survive only in versions by Rufinus. The full text of Origen's De principiis (On first principals) also survives only in Rufinus's translation. Jerome, earlier a friend of Rufinus, fell out with him and wrote at least three works opposing his opinions and condemning his translations as flawed. For instance, Jerome prepared a (now lost) translation of Origen's De principiis to replace Rufinus's translation, which Jerome said was too free.
The other translations of Rufinus are
-          the InstitutaMonachorum and some of the Homilies of Basil of Caesarea
-          the Apology of Pamphilus, referred to above
-          Origen's Principia
-          Origen's Homilies (Gen. Lev. Num. Josh. Kings, also Cant, and Rom.)

-          Retractions (Retractationes): At the end of his life (c. 426 – 428) Augustine revisited his previous works in chronological order. The English translation of the title has led some to assume that at the end of his career, Augustine retreated from his earlier theological positions. In fact, the Latin title literally means 're-treatments" (not "Retractions") and though in this work Augustine suggested what he would have said differently, it provides little in the way of actual "retraction." It does, however, give the reader a rare picture of the development of a writer and his final thoughts.

-          Commentaries on Genesis to Judges, Ruth, Kings, Chronicles, Judith, Esther, Canticles, Proverbs, Wisdom, Sirach, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Maccabees, Matthew, the Epistles of St Paul, including Hebrews; and various treatises relating to doctrinal and practical subjects, including more than one series of homilies. In De institutioneclericorum he brought into prominence the views of Augustine and Gregory the Great as to the training which was requisite for a right discharge of the clerical function. One of his most popular and enduring works is a spectacular collection of poems centered around the cross, called De laudibussanctaecrucis, a set of highly sophisticated poems that present the cross (and, in the last poem, Rabanus himself kneeling before it) in word and image, even in numbers.
-          De universolibrixxii.,siveetymologiarum opus, a kind of dictionary or encyclopedia, heavily dependent upon Isidore of Seville's Etymologies, designed as a help towards the typological, historical and mystical interpretation of Scripture, the De sacrisordinibus, the De disciplinaecclesiastica and the Martyrologium. All of them are characterized by erudition (he knew even some Greek and Hebrew) and includes "Veni Creator Spiritus," a hymn to the Holy Spirit, often sung at Pentecost and at ordinations. (Centuries later "Veni Creator Spiritus" would be used by Gustav Mahler as the first choral of his epic eighth symphony.)
