Little is known about Zosimus’ life before his election as Pope.
May have been Jewish by birth, and his father may have been
named Abram. He tried to expand the power of the pontificate,
but allowed his personality, and his personality clashes with
local bishops, to enter into the matter. A number of his letters
survive, as well as a Decree ordering priests to stay out of
taverns. Fought Pelagianism and Pelagius himself. - Book of
