Vigilantius the presbyter.

Lives of Illustrious Men (De Viris Illustribus) · Saint Jerome

Chapter XXXVI.

ViriIll 2.37.1

Vigilantius, a citizen of Gaul, had the church of Barcelona. He wrote also with some zeal for religion but, overcome by the desire for human praise and presuming above his strength, being a man of polished language but not practised in the meaning of Scriptures, he expounded the vision of Daniel in a perverted sense and said other frivolous things which are necessarily mentioned in a catalogue of heretics. [To him also the blessed Jerome the presbyter responded.]
