 The Christian theologians of late antiquity are referred to as the Fathers of the  Church.[7]  The most influential of them in medieval Europe was Augustine; others included Cyprian, Ambrose and Gregory. The Greek Fathers (Origen, Chrysostom, etc.) were not so influential at first, but during the scholastic period many of their writings were translated into  Latin.[8]  The Fathers were influential partly through their originalia (i.e., their original writings in their complete text), but perhaps more through extracts included in “glosses” on the Bible and in anthologies and through extensive quotations made by later writers. Many of the Fathers were influenced by the Platonism and  Stoicism  that every educated person became acquainted with in the ancient world. Augustine was particularly influenced by Platonism, in the version modern scholars call  Neoplatonism,  and by  Plotinus  especially.
