Victurinus (1) (Victor), St., bp. of Grenoble,
a correspondent of St. Avitus, of Vienne.
Whether churches and church furniture which
heretics had made use of could again, by virtue
of a fresh consecration, be made serviceable
for the orthodox, to which Avitus replies in
the negative (Avitus, Ep. vi.), and as to the
penalties to be inflicted in the case of marriage
with a deceased wife's sister, which were very
severe (Epp. xiv. xv. xvi.), are points on which
he consulted the archbishop. He is among
the bishops present at the council of Agaunum, in 5I5, if it is to be accepted as genuine, and also at Epaon and Lyons in 517.
