description: "Petrus Siculus, Peter Sikeliotes, or Peter of Sicily was the putative author of a text on the history of the Paulicians, originally titled the Useful History, Refutation, and Overthrow of the Hollow and Foolish Heresy of the Manichaeans, and known in Latin as the Historia Manichaeorum. He is only attested from the sole surviving manuscript of this text, and owing to textual contradictions and doubts over the authenticity of its provenance, there is no scholarly consensus on Peter's identity, or even his historical existence."
