GELASIUS of Caesarea.
ST. Jerom places Gelasius Successor to Euzoius Bishop of Caesarea in Palastine, amongst the Eccle∣siastical Writers. He assures us, that he had an exact and polite Stile, but that he would not pub∣lish * 1.1 his Works. Photius in Vol. 89, assures us, that he read the Continuation of the History of Eu∣sebius, written by Ruffinus, Translated into Greek by this Author. He observes, that he was the Nephew of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, and that this Father was his Fellow-labourer in the Transla∣tion of this History, Theodoret in his first Dialogue quotes with commendation a Passage of this Author, taken out of a Homily upon the Apparition of Jesus Christ, which proves the distinction of the Two Natures in Christ.
