Bacchiarius (or Baccharius) (1)

Bacchiarius (or Baccharius) (1)

was an ecclesiastical writer of the Latin Church, probably of the fifth century. It appears that he was of Irish descent, a disciple of St. Patrick and contemporary of St. Augustine. His book De Fide, and the letter to Zamarius, De Reparatione Lapsi, were inserted in the Bibliotheca Patrum. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
