AENEAS of Paris. – Bishop and theologian, born at the beginning of the 9th century, died in Paris on 27 Dec. 870. Head of the Chancellery of Charles the Bald, he distinguished himself by his diligence and the favour with which he handled ecclesiastical affairs (*fervor in divinis rebus*: Epist. Guenionis [among the epistles of Lupus of Ferrières]: PL 119, 574).
At the death of Encarnado, the king presented E. as a candidate for the see of Paris, which the bishops of the province of Sens gladly accepted (856). As soon as he was elected, he subscribed to four chapters concerning predestination, around which a lively controversy had been stirred up by Gottschalk of Orbais (v.). He took part in the numerous councils that were held on this occasion within the territory of Charles the Bald. On behalf of the bishops of the province of Sens, who had been invited by Pope Nicholas I to refute the accusations of Photius, he wrote a treatise *Adversus Graecos* in 210 chapters (PL 121, 685-762). It is a mere compilation of patristic texts defending the *Filioque*, clerical celibacy, the Roman primacy, and various Latin usages.
