THE LETTERS
OF
S. AMBROSE
BISHOP OF MILAN.
LETTER OF GRATIAN TO AMBROSE.
A.D. 379.
IT is in answer to this that Letter 1 was written by S. Ambrose.
It was written by the Emperor Gratian in his 20th year, four
years after his succession to the Empire in partnership with his
Uncle Valens and his younger brother Valentinian the 2nd, on the
death of their father Valentinian the first, 375 A.D. Tillemont
(Hist. des Emp. vol. v. p. 158.) calls it ‘une lettre toute
pleine de piété et d’humilité, et d’ailleurs mesme écrite avec
beaucoup d’esprit et d’elegance.’
