Camate'rus, Androni'cus （*)Andro/nikos *Kamathro/s), a relative of the emperor Manuel Comnenus (A. D. 1143 to 1180), who honoured him with the title of Sebastus, and promoted him to the offices of praefect of the city and praefect of the bi/gla, i. e. praefectus vigilum, or praefect of the imperial guards. Camaterus is said to have been a man of great intellect and a powerful speaker. Works Theologico-polemical Works He is the author of several theologico-polemical works, an extract from one of which is all that has appeared in print. Among them we may mention one entitled *)Antirrhtika/, a dialogue against the Latins. A portion of this work which relates to the Processio Spiritus Sancti, was subsequently refuted by J. Veccus, and both the original and the refutation are printed in L. Allatius' Graecia Orthodox. ii. p. 287, &c. Other works in MS His other works are still extant in MS. Father of Joannes Ducas Andronicus Camaterus was the father of Joannes Ducas, to whom Eust

Ci'nnamus, Joannes （*)Iwa/nnhs *Ki/nnamos), also called CI'NAMUS (*Ki/namos), and SI'NNAMUS (*Si/nnamos), one of the most distinguished Byzantine historians, and the best European historian of his time, lived in the twelfth century of the Christian aera. He was one of the "Grammatici" or " Notarii" of the emperor Manuel Comnenus, who reigned from A. D. 1143 till 1180. The functions of the imperial notaries, the first of whom was the proto-notarius, were nearly those of private secretaries appointed for both private and state affairs, and they had a considerable influence upon the administration of the empire. Cinnamus was attached to the person of Manuel at a youthful age, and probably as early as the year of his accession, and he accompanied that great emperor in his numerous wars in Asia as well as in Europe. Works Epitome rerum ab Joanne et Alexio Comnenis gestarum Favoured by such circumstances, he undertook to write the history of the reign of Manuel, and that of his predece

manuscript of this work is in the library of the fathers of St. Basil, at Rome. Pohl (ad Suares Notit. Basil. p. 139, n. 8) seems to make Montfaucon identify the author of this Nomocanon with the Lord Gregorius Doxapater, the jurist of the Basilica, who is not mentioned by Montfaucon. Doxa'pater, Grego'rius Works> de quinque Patriarchalibus Sedibus Fabricius (Bibl. Gr. lib. 5. c.25) attributes the authorship of this Nomocanon to Doxapater Nilus, who, under Rogerius, in Sicily, about A. D. 1143, wrote a treatise, de quinque Patriarchalibus Sedibus. Editions This was first published by Stephen le Moyne, in his Varia Sacra, i. p. 211. Fabricius is probably correct, and it is not likely that Doxapater Nilus and Gregorius Doxapater were the same person. Doxa'pater, Grego'rius Scholia on the Novells of Isaacus Angelus The untrustworthy Papadopoli (Praenot. Mystag. p. 372), speaks of a Doxapater, Sacellarius, as the last of the Greek jurists, and cites his scholia upon the Nove

s later, and Freher, in the Chronologia prefixed to the Jus Graeco-Romanum of Leunclavius, follows Suarez. Selden, in his Uxor Hebraica (3.29) adopted the common opinion, which placed Harmenopulus in the middle of the twelfth century; but he seems to have been the first to impugn this opinion in his treatise De Synedriis (1.10). The common belief was founded on the asserted fact that Harmenopulus never, in any authentic passage, cites the Novells of any emperor later than tManuel Comnenus (A. D. 1143-1180), and that in his treatise on Heresies (Leunclavius, J. G. R. vol. i. p. 552), in the commencement of his account of the Bogomili, he describes them as a sect which had sprung up shortly before his time (ou) pro\ pollou= sune/sth th=s kaq' h(ma=s genea=s). Now it is known that this heresy originated in the reign of Alexius Comnenus. The reason which induced Selden to ascribe to Harmenopulus a much later date was a composition of Philotheus (who was patriarch of Constantinople in A. D.

Ma'nuel I. or Manuel Comne'nus> （*Manouh\l o( *Komnhno/s), emperor of Constantinople A. D. 1143-1181, the fourth child and son of the emperor Calo-Joannes (Joannes II.), was born about A. D. 1120, and succeeded his father in 1143. Of his three elder brothers, Alexis and Andronicus had both died before their father; but the third, Isaac Sebastocrator, was still alive, and would have had better claims to the crown than Manuel, but for a special declaration of the late emperor, who preferred the younger to the elder on account of his martial qualities. Manuel was with his father when the latter lost his life through an accident in Cilicia; and fears were entertained that Isaac, who was then in Constantinople, would seize the supreme power. But no sooner had John expired than the faithful minister, Axuch, hastened to the capital, seized Isaac, confined him in a prison, and succeeded in causing Manuel to be recognized in Constantinople, where he met with a brilliant reception, on his arri
