Life

Melaine, remembered also as Melan, was bishop of Viviers in France from the year 519. He died around the year 549. His day in the Western calendar is 15 June (new style).

The source says no more. He must not be confused with Saint Melanius of Rennes, remembered on another date. He is honoured as a saint of the undivided Church, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
