Anastasius II, pope (
496-
498). He lived in the time of the schism of Acacius
? of Constantinople. He showed some tendency towards conciliation, and thus brought upon himself the lively reproaches of the author of the
Liber Pontificalis. On the strength of this tradition,
Dante placed this pope in
Hell.
