christianismus

Abstract
The word Christianismus, a Greek loanword from Χριστιανισμός (‘Christianity’), is scarcely used in late-antique Latin literature, in comparison to other words, such as Christianitas. This entry investigates the attestations of this word, which is mostly used in opposition to Iudaismus, and the reasons of its limited use.
