Claudius of Turin (or Claude) (fl. 810–827)[1][2] was the Catholic bishop of Turin from 817 until his death.[3] He was a courtier of Louis the Pious and was a writer during the Carolingian Renaissance. He is most noted for teaching iconoclasm,[3] a radical idea at that time in Latin Church, and for some teachings that prefigured those of the Protestant Reformation.[4] He was attacked as a heretic in written works by Saint Dungal and Jonas of Orléans.
