Prosper of Aquitaine (Latin: Prosper Aquitanus; c. 390 – c. 455 AD), also called Prosper Tiro,[3] was a Christian writer and disciple of Augustine of Hippo, and the first continuator of Jerome's Universal Chronicle. Particularly, Prosper is identified with the (later) axiom, 'lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi'- the law (those things) we pray is the law we believe is the law we live.
