VERECUNDUS. - Bishop of Junca in the African province of Byzacena, flourished in the 6th century, died at Chalcedon in the hospice of St. Euphemia in 552.

A year earlier he had been summoned to the Byzantine court because of his opposition to the condemnation of the Three Chapters and was sentenced to exile. V. composed a poem in 212 hexameters De satisfactione poenitentiae (ed. J. B. Pitra, Spicil. Solesm., IV, Paris 1858, pp. 138-43 and recently E. Kulendorff, Lund 1943), a Commentary on nine canticles of the Old Testament (ed. Pitra, op. cit., 1-131) and extracts from the Acts of the Council of Chalcedon (PL 68, 1012-14). The Exhortatio paenitendi (ed. Pitra, op. cit., pp. 132-37) and the Critias (ibid., pp. 144-65), on the other hand, are spurious. V. is a good connoisseur of classical culture.
