Gennadius succeeded Anatolius as Bishop of Constantinople in 458.
The Emperor Leo protected the ascetic, and some time later sent St. Gennadius to ordain him priest, which he is said to have done standing at the foot of the column, since St. Daniel objected to being ordained, and refused to let the bishop mount the ladder.
We are told by Gennadius of Marseilles that he was lingua nitidus et ingenio acer, and so rich in knowledge of the ancients that he composed a commentary on the whole Book of Daniel.

 Gennadius of Massilia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gennadius was a priest of Massilia (now Marseille) and a contemporary of Pope Gelasius I.
Gelasius reigned from 492-496, so Gennadius must have lived at the end of the fifth century.
Gennadius knew Greek well and was well read in Eastern and Western, orthodox and heretical Christian literature.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Gennadius of Marseilles
Gennadius was on the whole an honourable and scrupulous writer.
In one place (lxxxv, 90) he says: "There are other works by him (Faustus) which I will not name because I have not yet read them." He uses the name "Scholasticus" as an honourable epithet repeatedly (lxiii, 82, lxvii, 84, lxxix, 87, lxxxiv, 89).

On the schism between Eastern and Western Churches, Scholarius advocated compromise and drew up a form of agreement ambiguous enough to be accepted by both, but on his return to Greece, he completely changed his position.
In 1448 he became a monk and took the name Gennadius.
When made patriarch of Constantinople in 1453 he composed an exposition of Christian belief for the sultan's use, but eventually found the strain of being patriarch of a Muslim city too much and retired to Serrae in Macedonia where he died.

 Salvian, On the Government of God (1930) pp.1-34.  Translators introduction
Years later, Salvian wrote from Marseilles to the monks at Lérins, commending to their kindly offices a young kinsman, a refugee from the captured city of Cologne.
The few extant letters are chiefly of value for the glimpses they afford of his regard for the deference due to those of higher rank in the church, and their evidence of his continuing association with his former friends and pupils at Lérins.
Gennadius' list shows that, while much of Salvian's work has been lost, the books that remain are probably the most individual and the most interesting to us.

 Addition 46
Gennadius apologizes for the scanty representation which they have in Jerome on the ground that the latter did not understand Syriac, and only knew of such as had been translated.
This compels the rejection of the paragraph on Gennadius himself as by a later hand but this should probably be done at any rate, on other grounds.
Gennadius style is as bare and more irregular than Jerome's but he more frequently expresses a critical judgment and gives more interesting glimpses of his own-the semi-Pelagian-point of view.

Gennadius is most concerned with the treatises "Against Eutyches (c.378-454) and Nestorius (d.c.451)," upon whom both Gelasius and himself had written relative to the dominant presence of those "heresies" in their respective eras.
Gennadius adds that Gelasius, like Ambrose (c.339-397) a century earlier, was known for the creation of church hymns -- to all of which the "Liber Pontificalis" likewise bears witness.

Gennadius (11) Massiliensis, presbyter of Marseilles, who died in 496.
If we accept his de Viris Illustribus as it is commonly published, we are warranted in classing Gennadius of Marseilles with the semi-Pelagians, as he censures Augustine and Prosper and praises Faustus.
The language of Gennadius is here not quite Augustinian; but neither is it Pelagian, and the work was long included among those of St. Augustine.

 THE COMMONITORY OF VINCENT OF LERINS FOR THE ANTIQUITY AND UNIVERSALITY OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH
He writes under the assumed name of Peregrinus, but Gennadius of Marseilles,(1) who flourished A.D. 495, some sixty years after its date, ascribes it to Vincentius, an inmate of the famous monastery of Lerins, in the island of that name,(2) and his ascription has been universally accepted.
In earlier life he had been engaged in secular pursuits, whether civil or military is not clear, though the term he uses, "secularis militia," might possibly imply the latter.
Gennadius says that Vincentius died, "Theodosio et Valentiniano regnantibus."(6) Theodosius died, leaving Valentinian still reigning, in July, 450.

Some minor works also comprise this volume, namely Gennadius of Marseilles and St Jerome's "Live of Illustrious Men," which are merely short documentaries on some of the primary influences in the Church from St Peter on; even a few non-Christians joined the ranks: Seneca, Philo, and Josephus.
Finally, a collection of works by Rufinus of Aquilea, who is best known for his correspondence with the saintly scholar Jerome, are presented here as well.
