PAULINUS, BISHOP OF TIBURNIA
Paulinus, a bishop at St. Veit (Tiburnia) in Carinthia, is mentioned in the life of Saint Severin. Raderus also remembers him and calls him blessed. The Bollandists* list him among the Praetermissi.
Weissbacher (III. 229) relates that Paulinus was born in Bavaria, and came to visit Saint Severin who sent him back to his homeland, appointing him bishop of Tiburnia, by which some understand Regensburg. Severin, on the same occasion, predicted the incursions of the Alemanni. Paulinus thereupon prescribed a three-day fast and prayer in all places in his diocese in order to ward off the evil. The places where his decree was followed were spared, but the others were devastated by the Alemanni. This pious bishop flourished around the year 476 (I. 458 and Weissb. III. 229).
