Sidonius, Bishop of Passau

Sidonius was the third Bishop of Passau from about 754 to 763–764.[1][2]

Sidonius appears in a donation deed of the Passau domicile. He was a monk from Ireland who distinguished himself as a scientifically high-ranking theologian and probably belonged to the later Salzburg bishop Virgil of Salzburg's social circle.[3]
