The first 'heretic' to be condemned to death at the end of IV
century, Priscillian, sometime bishop of Avila, has generated much
scholarly interest in early Christian studies since the rediscovery
of his works in the nineteenth century. Early scholarly attention
focussed on the question of Priscillian's heterodoxy. Was he really
an orthodox thinker victimised by ecclesiastical politics or were
the accusations of heresy fully grounded in his teachings? Recent
scholarship has moved away from rigid categorisation of the
individual and focussed on the social-political movement of
Priscillianism, with a tendency to neglect the literary corpus.
Marco Conti draws attention back to the writings and the
theological reflections there contained.
Published for the first time in one volume with facing page
translation and systematic commentaries, The Complete Works provide
invaluable material for better understanding the complex nature of
this fascinating figure and the movement he inspired, a crucial
example of early opposition to Ecclesiastical power. With an
extensive introduction providing biographical and textual
background information.
