Turi'bius
a Spanish bishop, a bitter enemy and persecutor of the Priscillianists.
Works
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.
