Pseudo-Ambrose De Trinitate (CPL 171) is an enigmatic text. It is one of the longest texts (40 colums Migne) of which the origin seems to be completely unknown. Moreover, it bristles with quotations from other patristic sources from beginning to end. However, one piece seems to be rather original, viz. the paragraph in which the author connects the work of the Holy Spirit with a long list of Old and New Testament biblical passages. Is this really an original contribution of the anonymous author? And if so, what it is his contribution to the pneumatological debate in the fifth or possibly sixth centuries?
