Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume III/Lives of Illustrious Men/Jerome/Priscillianus the bishop

, bishop of Abila, belonged to the party of Hydatius and Ithacius, and was put to death at Tr&#232;ves by the tyrant Maximus. He published many short writings, some of which have reached us. He is still accused by some, of being tainted with Gnosticism, that is, with the heresy of Basilides or Mark, of whom Iren&#230;us writes, while his defenders maintain that he was not at all of this way of thinking.
