Edit ProfileEducation
He was educated at Lérins Abbey, first by Saint Hilary of Arles, then by Salvianus and Saint Vincent of Lérins.
Career
In 440, he was elected bishop of Geneva and, as such, took part in the Synod of Orange (441), the Synod of Vaison (442), and the Synod of Arles (451). He has also been listed as the bishop of Genoa, but it is not clear if this was a later appointment or if the word Geneva was miswritten as Genova. Most notably, he composed mystical and allegorical interpretations of the Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.
His feast day is 28 September.
