Verecundus of Iunca

Verecundus of Iunca (fl. 552) was a 6th-century bishop of Iunca in Roman North Africa (the modern Tunisia) and writer.[1]

He wrote 9 commentaries on liturgical song,[2] the poem Carmen de satisfactione in 212 hexameters and possibly another, the Carmen ad Flavium Felicem de resurrectione mortuorum et de iudicio domini.[3] He also wrote excerpts of the proceedings of the Council of Chalcedon.

Verecundus attended the Synod in Constantinople of 551 called by Justinian where he sided with Pope Vigilius in the Three-Chapter Controversy and went into self-imposed exile with him at the end of the synod[4] for refusing to sign the condemnation of Theodore of Mopsuestia, Theodoret of Cyrrhus and Ibas of Edessa.
