Theognostus(Θεόγνωστος).
1. A Christian writer, a native of Alexandria, the author of a work entitled
τοῦ μακαρίου Θεογνώστον Ἀλεξανδπέως καὶ ἐξηγητοῦ
ὑποτυπώσεις. Photius, who speaks in very disrespectful terms of him, gives a brief
account of the contents of the work. (
Cod. 106.) It seems. from what he
says, that Theognostus gnostus closely followed Origenes. The style is described by Photius as
being of a very inferior Description. Athanasius. However, speaks in much higher terms of
Theognostus. (Fabric.
Bibl. Graec. vol. x. p. 709.)
