     Of or pertaining to Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria in the
     4th century.

     {Athanasian creed}, a formulary, confession, or exposition of


        faith, formerly supposed to have been drawn up by
        Athanasius; but this opinion is now rejected, and the
        composition is ascribed by some to Hilary, bishop of Arles
        (5th century). It is a summary of what was called the
        orthodox faith.
        [1913 Webster]
