A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), (search)
MANUEL 4. CHARITOPULUS (o( *Xarito/poulos), or SARANTENUS (o( *Saranthno/s), or the PHILOSOPHER, a Greek ecclesiastic of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, acquired a high reputation by his philosophical attainments. He was appointed patriarch of Constantinople on the death of Maximus II., which occurred in A. D. 1215, and held the patri archate for five years and seven months, dying about the middle of A. D. 1221. Three synodal decrees of a Manuel, patriarch of Constantinople, are given in the Jus Graeco-Romanum of Leunclavius (lib. iii. p. 238, &c.), who assigns them to Charitopulus, and is followed by Cave and Oudin, who have confounded Charitopulus with another Manuel [No. 7]. Le Quien objects to this judgment of Leunclavius, as not founded on evidence; and with better reason adjudges them to Manuel II. Ephraem of Constantinople celebrates Charitopulus as *Fu/lac a)kribh\s kai\ no/mwn kai\ kano/nwn, " an exact observer of the laws and canons." (Georg. Acropolit. Annal. 100.19,

Theodo'rus 26. Of CONSTANTINOPLE (1-2). The list of Patriarchs of Constantinople comprehends two Theodores : Theodo'rus Theodore I., from A. D. 676 to 678, when he was deposed, on what account is not known. But on the death of George, who had been appointed to succeed him, he recovered his patriarchate, which he held only for a short time, probably from A. D. 683 to 686. Theodo'rus or Theodo'rus Irenicus Theodore II. was surnamed Irenicus or Copas; he had previously held the office of Summus Philosophorum, *(/Upatos tw=n filoso/fwn, and Chartophylax of the Great Church at Constantinople; and was patriarch for sixteen months only, A. D. 1213-1215, while Constantinople was in the hands of the Latin invaders. (Le Quien, Oriens Christianus, vol. i. col. 232, 233, 277.)

arentum, referred to by Pliny, is represented with a key in one hand and a bowl in the other. The cup he is fabled to have received from Apollo, and in it he floated his polarized needle. The name of Hercules is given to the stone magnes. The needle is probably the arrow of Abaris. This supposition adds interest to this ancient classical symbol. In 1190, Guyot of Provence wrote a satirical poem, called La Bible, in which he refers to the use of the magnetic needle. Between 1204 and 1215, Jacobus of Vitry, Bishop of Ptolemais, referred to it in his description of Palestine, as follows:— The loadstone is found in India, to which, from some unknown cause, iron spontaneously attaches itself. When an iron needle is touched by the stone, it at once points towards the North Star; from whence it has become useful to those who navigate the seas. Latini of Florence, the preceptor of Dante, in a work published in Paris in 1260, entitled the Treasure, wrote thus:— When I was i

before the walls of sacred Troy, and thus immortalized that place, in all nations the names of places at which notable events affecting the governments and institutions of those countries have occurred, have been carefully memorized and zealously guarded for their historical and patriotic value by the people of those countries. Runnymede has come down to us through the dim history of the Middle Ages to have a marked significance, since there it was that John, King of England, in the year 1215 A. D., signed that great instrument of human liberty guaranteeing some of the inalienable rights of man, the Magna Charta. The act of abdication, signed by the Emperor Napoleon, on April 6, 1814, at Fontainbleau, has made the name of that palace famous in French and European history. The surrender by Napoleon III of an army of 90,000 men in September, 1870, which event marked the retirement of the aforesaid Emperor as a factor in European politics, and by which event the empire founded by him o
