Florentius of Cahors

Florentius of Cahors was one of the first bishops of Cahors, between the end of the 4th century and the beginning of the 5th. He is said to have succeeded Saints Genulfus and Sebastus. He is well documented historically through an exchange of letters with Saint Paulinus of Nola: Florentius's letter is lost, but Paulinus's reply, hard to date, survives. According to Duchesne he is the first certain bishop of Cahors, and his successor Alithius was still a simple priest in 407.

The Roman Martyrology commemorates him on 4 July, in the Western calendar (new style). He is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.
