Theognostus of Alexandria
Christian theologian (c. 210 – c. 270)
Theognostus (Greek: Θεόγνωστος; c. 210 – c. 270) was a late 3rd century Alexandrian theologian.[1] He is known from quotes by Athanasius[2] and Photios I of Constantinople.[1] Philip of Side says that he presided over the school of Alexandria after Pierius (AD 265).[3] Although a disciple of Origen of Alexandria no reference of him can be found by Eusebius or Jerome. The main textual point of reference is derived from Athanasius.
