Edictum Theodosii et Valentiniani is an edict published on 17 February, 448. It is in the Collectiana Vaticana.
- In 448 all the obtainable literature of anti-Christian authors was confiscated and destroyed by a decree of the emperors Theodosius II. and Valentinian II. The law was directed chiefly against the works of Porphyrius, but included Celsus and others. What we can know of all this literature must be gleaned and reconstructed from the citations in the Christian fathers ; especially in Origen, Eusebius, Cyril of Alexandria (for Julian), and minor notices in Jerome and Augustin. --A Study of the Classic Pagan References to Nascent Christianity, John Robert Bräuer (1906) [1]
