Bishop of Rome from 492 to 496
d. 19 Nov 496
49th Bishop of Rome (Pope) · 2 Mar 492–19 Nov 496
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.
