Severus of Minorca

Posted on 22/06/201613/07/2016 By Oriol Catalán

Bishop of Menorca in the 5th century, he wrote a Epistula de conversione Iudaeorum, where he explains the conversion of the Jewish community of Menorca in 418.

Some historians considered the Epistola actually written by Consentius or by both Severus and Consentius. Anyway, the Epistola is an important document in the polemics between Judaism and Christianity around the Mediterranean in early 5th century.
