Cassiodorus
Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator (c. 485 – c. 585), commonly known as
Cassiodorus (), was a
Christian Roman statesman, a renowned scholar and writer who served in the administration of
Theodoric the Great, king of the
Ostrogoths. ''Senator'' was part of his surname, not his rank. He also founded a
monastery,
Vivarium (or "Castellum"), where he worked extensively the last three decades of his life.
