Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume III/Lives of Illustrious Men/Gennadius/Claudianus the presbyter

presbyter of the church at Vienne, a master speaker, and shrewd in argument, composed three books, On the condition and substance of the soul, in which he discusses how far anything is incorporeal excepting God.

[He wrote also some other things, among which are, A Hymn on Our Lord&#8217;s Passion, which begins &#8220;Pange lingua gloriosi.&#8221; He was moreover brother of Mamertus, bishop of Vienne.] (See note.)
