Pope Gelasius I

Religious and Spiritual Leaders

Pope Gelasius I was the bishop of Rome from 1 March 492 to his death on 21 November 496. Gelasius was a prolific author whose style placed him on the cusp between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages; some scholars have argued that his predecessor Felix III may have employed him to draft papal documents, although this is not certain.
