Life
Gennadius was a priest of Massilia (now Marseille) and a contemporary of Pope Gelasius I.
Nothing is known of his life, save what he tells us himself in the last of the biographies he wrote: "I, Gennadius, presbyter of Massilia, wrote eight books against all heresies, five books against Nestorius, ten books against Eutyches, three books against Pelagius, a treatise on the thousand years of the Apocalypse of John, this work, and a letter about my faith sent to blessed Gelasius, bishop of the city of Rome".
Gelasius reigned from 492-496, so Gennadius must have lived at the end of the 5th century.
