Page 690. The statements concerning the origin and age of the Athanasian Creed should be conformed to the author's views as expressed in his work on Creeds, i. 36. The latest investigations do not wai-rant us to trace it higher than the eighth or seventh century. The first commentary on it ascribed to Venantius Fortunatus, 570, is of doubtful genuineness, and denied to him by Gieseler, Ffoulkes, and others. The majority of recent Anglican writers, including Stanley, Swainson, and Lumby, assign the Creed to an unknown author in Gaul between a.d. 750 and 850, probably during the reign of Charlemagne (d. 814). Hardy and Ommaney plead for an earlier date. The question is not yet fully settled. The Creed consists of two parts, one on the Trinity and one on the Incai*nation, which were afterward welded together by a third hand. The second part was found separately as a fragment of a sermon on the Incarnation, at Treves, in a MS. from the middle of the eighth century, and was first published by Prof. Swainson, 1871, and again in 1875.

Add to footnote at the bottom : Villemain considers Athanasius the greatest man between the Apostles and Gregory VII., and says of him: "/S'a me, ses combats, son genie servirent plus a V agrandissement dit christianisme que toute la puissance de Constantin. . . . Athanase cherche le triomphe, et non le martyre. Tel qiCun chef de parti, tel qu^un general experimente qui se sent ni'cessaire aux siens, Athan. ne s^eocp)ose que pour le succes, ne combat que jjour vaincre, se retire quelque fois pour reparaitre avec V eclat d'un triomphe j^oi^ulah'e." {_Tableaic de V eloquence chrctienne au IV siecle, p. 92.)
