GEZONE OF TORTONA. - Theologian and Benedictine abbot, d. ca. 980. He was a priest of Tortona when Bishop Giselprand made him abbot of the new monastery of Sts. Peter and Mariano (Tortona).

Around 950 he wrote the De Corpore et Sanguine Christi, in which he incorporates the treatise of the same name by Paschasius Radbertus (v.). Mabillon, who had discovered two manuscripts of it, printed only the praefatio and the titles of the chapters. Muratori, relying on a new codex from the Ambrosiana, produced the complete edition, though he omitted the chapters (23) taken from Paschasius and the better-known citations of the Fathers. This text was reprinted by Migne (PL 137, 371-406).
