Gelasius the Bishop

Gelasius, bishop of Rome, wrote a great and notable volume Against Eutyches and Nestorius, and also treatises on various parts of the Scripture and on the sacraments, written in a polished style. He also wrote letters against Peter and Acacius, which are still preserved in the catholic church. He also wrote hymns after the manner of Bishop Ambrose. He died in the reign of the emperor Anastasius.
