Bishop Nicetas of Remesiana and the issues related to the authorship of the hymn

VASILE ROJNEAC, Bishop Nicetas of Remesiana and the issues related to the authorship of the hymn
“Te Deum laudamus”
In this study we try to address some issues related to the authorship of the hymn Te Deum laudamus,
a Trinitarian and doxological hymn, which was written in Latin, in rhythmic prose, during the
great Trinitarian and Christological disputes in the late fourth century and early fi fth century. The
major objective of this study is to elucidate the question of the authorship of this Trinitarian hymn:is Bishop Nicetas of Remesiana the rightful author of the hymn Te Deum Laudamus or not and the
arguments that lead us to plead in his favor.
