Abstract

Creeds are an important element of the controversies over the doctrine in the ancient Church. This article deals with the usage and the text of a creed which Priscillian testified, who was condemned and executed as a sorcerer and heretic like Mani in the late 4th century. His creed was not an invention and his interpretation of the word symbolum was not strange, he was rather a witness to the situation in which the creeds were used in the ancient Iberian Church.
