Paulinus of Pella

Paulinus Pellaeus

Biography

Born in Pella around 376 in Macedonia, to a father who held important positions in the imperial administration, he spent most of his life in Bordeaux, the homeland of his ancestors (Bazas). This grandson of Ausonius arrived there at the age of three, after a brief passage through Carthage and Rome, which marked stages in his father's career. After 459, he ended his days in Marseille, after a life full of trials, recounted in his Thanksgiving Poem (Eucharisticos) and his Prayer.
