Monoimus ( lived somewhere between 150-210 CE ) was an Arab gnostic ( Arabic name probably Mun ' im منعم ), who was known only from one account in Theodoret ( Haereticarum Fabularum Compendium i. 18 ) until a lost work of anti-heretical writings ( Refutation of All Heresies, book 8, chapter V ) by Hippolytus was found.

Monoimus is famous for his quote about the unity of God and man ( from Hippolytus ):

§ 7 ), and a closer examination shows that this is no chance coincidence, and that Monoimus is really to be referred to that sect, although Hippolytus himself has classed them separately ; for Monoimus describes his first principle as bisexual, and applies to it the titles " Father, Mother, the two immortal names ," words taken out of a Naassene hymn.

Further traces of the obligations of Monoimus to Simon are found in the reference to the six powers instrumental in creation, which answer to Simon's six " roots ," while a similar indebtedness to Simon on the part of the Naassene writer in Hippolytus is found on comparing the anatomical speculations connected with the name Eden ( v. 9 ; vi.

Hippolytus of Rome ( d. 235 ) is commonly considered to be the earliest antipope, as he headed a separate group within the Church in Rome against Pope Callixtus I.

In the seventeenth century, Racine expressed admiration for Sophocles but was more influenced by Euripides ( e. g. Iphigenia at Aulis and Hippolytus were the models for his plays Iphigénie and Phèdre ).

Some ancient sources, such as Hippolytus, and some modern scholars consider that the epistle " from Laodicea " was never a lost epistle, but simply Paul recycling one of his other letters ( the most common candidate is the contemporary Letter to the Ephesians ), just as he asks for the copying and forwarding of the Letter to Colossians to Laodicea.

Duchesne and others have viewed the beginning of the Liber Pontificalis up until the biographies of Pope Felix III ( 483 – 492 ) as the work of a single author, who was a contemporary of Pope Anastasius II ( 496-498 ), relying on Catalogus Liberianus, which in turn draws from the papal catalogue of Hippolytus of Rome, and the Leonine Catalogue, which is no longer extant.

Darrell Bock also takes the view that Mary Magdalene was not singled out, but was part of a group of women who shared the honour, that for Hippolytus " she was one of a few apostles ", stating the term did not originate with Hippolytus.

The Catholic Encyclopedia " New Advent " writes: It is true that it is easy to suppose Tertullian and Hippolytus to have misrepresented the opinions of their opponents, but it cannot be proved that Cleomenes was not a follower of the heretical Noetus, and that Sabellius did not issue from his school ; further, it is not obvious that Tertullian would attack Callistus under a nickname.

In the system of Basilides, as reported by Hippolytus ( vii.

The descriptions of the Basilidian system given by our chief informants, St. Irenaeus ( Adversus Haereses ) and St. Hippolytus ( Philosophumena ), are so strongly divergent that they seem to many quite irreconcilable.

On the other hand, Clement of Alexandria surely, and Hippolytus, in the fuller account of his Philosophumena, probably drew their knowledge of the system directly from Basilides ' own work, the Exegetica, and hence represent the form of doctrine taught by Basilides himself ".< ref > Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Second Series volume =?

The name Sankt Pölten is derived from Hippolytus of Rome.

The great difference between the earlier and the later treatise of Hippolytus is that the former was a mere compilation, his account of the opinions of heresies being in the main derived from the lectures of Irenaeus ; but at the time of writing the latter, he had himself read several heretical writings, of which he gives an extract in his treatise.

Many early Christian writers from the 2nd century, such as pseudo-Barnabas, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr and Hippolytus of Rome followed rabbinic Judaism ( the Mishna ) in interpreting Sabbath not as a literal day of rest, but as a thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ, which would follow six millennia of world history.

Hippolytus quotes from a work he attributes to Simon or his followers the Simonians, Apophasis Megale, or Great Declaration.
