Gamaliel V held the office ofNasi of the ancientJewishSanhedrin between 365 and 385 CE. He was the son and successor of theJewish patriarchHillel II. He was notable for involving himself with perfecting the Jewish calendar in 359. He is apparently referred to in a letter written bySaint Jerome, in which Jerome states thatTheodosius I (379-395) had condemned to death one Esychius, a formerRoman consul who had stolen documents belonging to Gamaliel, who was furious about it.
