Honoratus of Marseille
Honoratus Massiliensis
Biography
Honorat was the Bishop of Marseille in 490, perhaps since the years 475-480, and was still so at the time of Pope Gelasius (492-496). Probably a monk before being ordained bishop, he was a close relation of Hilary of Arles and lived in his immediate entourage, perhaps even as his secretary: he wrote his Life in the years 475-480. A literate man, gifted with a good secular education, and a prudent theologian, he is a witness to Arlesian education and culture.
