Albigerius (ca. 400 C.E.)
Albigerius (ca. 400 C.E.)
A Carthaginian soothsayer mentioned by St. Augustine. He would fall into strange ecstasies in which his soul, separated from his body, would travel abroad and find out what was taking place in distant places. He could read people's thoughts and discover anything he wished to learn. These wonders were ascribed to the agency of the Devil. St. Augustine also speaks of a time when the possessed man was ill of a fever. Though not in a trance, he saw the priest who was coming to visit him while he was yet six leagues away, and Albigerius told the company assembled around him the exact moment when the priest would arrive.
