Synopsis
TYCHONIUS, d. about 390; belonged to
the Donatist sect, though without giving up his
connection with the Catholic Church, for which reason he was violently attacked
by Parmenianus as a traitor. Of his writings, we have only one, Liber de
septem regulis; but as the first attempt at forming a theory of Christian hermeneutics, and on account of the influence
which its author exercised on Augustine, it is of great interest. It was first
edited by GRYNAEU5, Basel, 1569, and best by GALLANDI, in his Bibl. Vet.
Patr., viii. pp. 107-129.
