[Footnote 34: His primitive and secular name was George
Scholarius, which he changed for that of Gennadius, either
when he became a monk or a patriarch. His defence, at
Florence, of the same union, which he so furiously attacked
at Constantinople, has tempted Leo Allatius (Diatrib. de
Georgiis, in Fabric. Bibliot. Graec. tom. x. p. 760 - 786)
to divide him into two men; but Renaudot (p. 343 - 383) has
restored the identity of his person and the duplicity of his
character.]
