Abstract
- Vigilantius (vĭj″ĭlăn′shəs), fl. 400, Christian priest of Gaul who was violently opposed by St. Jerome. Jerome's letters and a tract, Liber contra Vigilantium, declare that Vigilantius denied the efficacy of relics, prayers to the saints, almsgiving, celibacy of the clergy, and monasticism. His works are not extant. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
