  Patriarch Gennadius I of Constantinople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gennadius is seen to have been a learnt writer and followed the Antiochene school of literal exegesis although little writings has been left about him.
Gennadius was a presbyter at Constantinople when he succeeded Anatolius in 458 as the Bishop of Constantinople.
Gennadius of Marseilles said of Gennadius 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.

About the middle of the century he was presbyter and abbot of a monastery at Constantinople, wrote in opposition to the anathemas of Cyril of Alexandria, and was raised to the patriarchate by Leo the Thracian after the death of Anatolius.
According to Gennadius of Marseilles, he was famed for his learning and was the author of a commentary on the prophet Daniel as well as of numerous homilies, all of which are apparently lost.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Constantinople
Constantinople had, therefore, to sustain numberless sieges; it was attacked in 378 by the Goths, by the Avars and Persians during the reign of Heraclius (610-41), by the Arabs during the reign of Constantine Pogonatus (668-85), and again by the Arabs under Moslemeh in 717; many times also by Bulgarians, Patzinaks, Russians, and Khazars.
The first period of the schism was coeval, especially at Constantinople, with a remarkable literary revival, inaugurated as early as the tenth century by the Macedonian dynasty and carried to its perfection under the Comneni and the Palæologi.
The Catholic patriarchs of the Chaldeans and the Syrians are similarly represented by vicars to whom are subject the few faithful of their rites present in the city.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Gennadius I
Gennadius succeeded Anatolius as Bishop of Constantinople in 458.
Not later, it seems, than 459 St. Gennadius celebrated a great council of eighty-one bishops, many of whom were from the East and even from Egypt, including those who had been dispossessed of their sees by Aelurus.
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.

This edict was opposed by Martyr the Chalcedonian Patriarch of Antioch.
That is why Stephanus I, the Chalcedonian Patriarch of Antioch, the Euphemius of Constantinople were afterwards enthusiastic towards Nestorianism, and Macdon of Constantinople celebrated annually Nestorius feast along with a thousand monks of the monasteries of Constantinople who were accustomed to read the writings of Diodore and Theodore.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Acacius (Patriarch of Constantinople)
On the death of the Patriarch Gennadius, in 471, he was chosen to succeed him, and for the first five or six years of his episcopate his life was uneventful enough.
It was a specious and far-reaching scheme, but it laid bare eventually the ambitions of the Patriarch of Constantinople and revealed him, to use Cardinal Hergenröther's illuminating phrase, as "the forerunner of Photius."
And under this aspect it suggests a significant comparison with another and better known set of "articles" composed nearly eleven centuries later, when the leaders of the Anglican schism were thridding a careful way between the extremes of Roman teaching on the one side and of Lutheran and Calvinistic negations on the other.
