Letter to Idacius and Ceponius
About the year A. D. 447, before he was elevated to the episcopal
dignity, he published a letter still extant, entitled
Epistola de non
recipiendis in auctoritatem Fidei apocryphis Scripturis, et de secta
Priscillianistarum, addressed to his friends Idacius and Ceponius. A letter to Pope
Leo the Great, and various tracts connected with the controversy, have perished.
Editions
The Epistle to Idacius and Ceponius was first printed by Ambrosius de Morales, in
his Historia Hispaniae, lib. 11.26, and will be found in the editions of the
works of Leo by Quesnell and by the brothers Ballerini, inserted immediately
after the letter of Leo to Turibius, which is numbered xv.
