Genesius, St., a comedian of the time of Diocle- sian, of whose conversion the following marvellous but douljtful story is told. He was ]'laying, before the emperor, the part of a candidate for Christian baptism, robed in the habit of a catechumen. But at the mo- ment in the farce when the emperor was to judge the new convert, he was suddenly convinced by the Holy Spirit, and declared himself really a convert. He was scourged and tortured, but nothing could shake his fidelity, and he was decapitated. Different dates are

assigned for his deatli : Tillemont and Ruinart fix it at A.D. 28G ; Baronius and Fleury at A.D. o(J3. His daj' in the Roman Catholic calendar is Aug. 25. Rotrou has made this apocryphal history the subject of a trag- edy. See Acta Sanclorum, August, vol. v; Ruinart, Acta Sincera, p. 269 ; Butler, Lives of the Saints, Aug. 25. Genet, FnAxgois, a French prelate, was born at Avignon Oct. 16, 1640. He became canon and theo- logian of the cathedral of Avignon, and in 1685 bishop of Vaison. Implicated in the affair of the Daughters of Childhood of Toulouse, whom he had received in his diocese, and who were held to be Jansenists, he was arrested in 1688, and imprisoned for fifteen months. The pope finally persuaded Louis XIV to restore Ge- net to his diocese. He was drowned in 17U2, while on his way from Avignon to Vaison. He is tiio author of Theologie Morale, which was disapproved by the bishops, and condemned by the University of Louvain, March 10, 1703. The best edition is that of 1715 (8 vols. 12mo) : it was reprinted at Rouen in 17-19. — Hoe- fer, Xouv. Biog. Generate, xix, 873.
Geiietliliaci, astrologers, who pretended to calcu- late mens' nativities by erecting schemes and horo- scopes, to know what position the stars were in at their birth, and thence to foretell their good or bad fortune. "And bscause some of these pretended to determine positively of the lives and deaths of kings, which was reputed a very dangerous piece of treason, therefore the laws of the state were more severe against them even under the heathen emperors, as Gothofred shows out of the ancient lawyers, Ulpian and Paulus ; and that was another reason why the Church thought it proper to animadvert upon these with the utmost se- verity of ecclesiastical censures, as thinking that what the heathen laws had punished as a capital crime ought not to pass unregarded in the discipline of the Chris- tian Church. It was this crime that expelled Aquila from the Church. For Epiphanius saj'S {De Mensiais et Ponderibus) he was once a Christian, but, being in- corrigibly bent upon the ])ractics of astrology, the Church cast him out, and then he became a Jew, and in revenge set upon a new translation of the Bible, to corrupt those texts which had any relation to the com- ing of Christ." — Bingham, Orig.
