Abstract
What is known of the life of T yrannius (or T urranius) Rufinus is well set out in F. X. Murphy’s authoritative biography.I He was born around 345 C.E. in Iulia Concordia (west of Aquileia). His parents were noble and wealthy, to judge from his education, which he completed in Rome. While a student there he became close friends with Jerome. Athanasius had popularized monasticism in the West during his long exile there, a year of which was spent in Aquileia around the time of Rufinus’s birth. By 370 there was an ascetic community in Aquileia that Rufinus joined upon his return from Rome. He was baptized in 369 or 370. His enthusiasm for the monastic life inspired him, as it did other Western Christians, to visit its birthplace, and he made his way to Egypt at the end of 372 or early in 373.
