'''Saint Hyginus''' (died c. 140–142 AD) was, according to ancient Christian tradition, the ninth bishop of Rome after Saint Peter, Saint Linus, Saint Anacletus, Saint Clement I, Saint Evaristus, Saint Alexander I, Saint Sixtus I, and Saint Telesphorus, thus the ninth pope.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07591b.htm |title=Pope St. Hyginus |publisher=New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> He appears in the earliest papal catalogues of Irenaeus of Lyons (c. 180) and Eusebius of Caesarea (c. 324), which assign him a pontificate of approximately four years (c. 136–140 or 138–142 AD).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.vatican.va/content/vatican/en/roman_curia/pontifical_committees/archeology/documents/rc_comm_archeo_02001010_igino_en.html |title=Saint Hyginus |publisher=Holy See |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> | '''Pope Saint Hyginus''' (died c. 140–142 AD) was, according to ancient Christian tradition, the ninth bishop of Rome after Saint Peter, Saint Linus, Saint Anacletus, Saint Clement I, Saint Evaristus, Saint Alexander I, Saint Sixtus I, and Saint Telesphorus, thus the ninth pope.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07591b.htm |title=Pope St. Hyginus |publisher=New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> He appears in the earliest papal catalogues of Irenaeus of Lyons (c. 180) and Eusebius of Caesarea (c. 324), which assign him a pontificate of approximately four years (c. 136–140 or 138–142 AD).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.vatican.va/content/vatican/en/roman_curia/pontifical_committees/archeology/documents/rc_comm_archeo_02001010_igino_en.html |title=Saint Hyginus |publisher=Holy See |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> | ||
Historical evidence for Hyginus is extremely limited. The ''Liber Pontificalis'' (6th century) states he was a Greek philosopher from Athens, ordained several priests, and fought against the Gnostic heretics Valentinus and Cerdo—details now regarded as later fabrications.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=42 |title=St. Hyginus |publisher=Catholic Online |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> Earlier sources provide only his name and the length of his pontificate. Tradition holds that he suffered martyrdom and was buried near Saint Peter on the Vatican Hill, though no contemporary evidence confirms this. As an ancient pope, his veneration began in the early Church without formal canonization processes; his feast is 11 January in the Roman Calendar. | Historical evidence for Hyginus is extremely limited.
