Rh 59B JOANNES. 187, &c., ed. Labbe, vol. viii. col. 1067, ed. Man si.) 74. Of Jerusalem (3). Three extant pieces relating to the Iconoclastic controversy bear the name of Joannes of Jerusalem, but it is doubtful how far they may be ascribed to the same author. 1. ^Iwdvvov iiiKaSccrrdrov tov 'lepoffoKv/xiTOv ixo- vaxoO An^yri(Tis, Joannis Hierosolymitani reverend- issimi Monachi Narratio, a very brief account of the origin of the Iconoclastic movement, published by Combefis among the Scriptores post Tlieophunem^ fol. Paris, 1685, and reprinted at Venice a. d. 1729, as part of the series of Byzantine historians; and is also included in the Bonn edition of that series. It is also printed in the BiMiotlieca Patrum of Gallandius, vol. xiii. p. 270. 2.

It is also reprinted by Gal- landius [lit sup. p. 352 ) as written by " Joannes Damascenus," or " Joannes Patriarcha Hierosoly- mitanus," some MSS. giving one name and others giving the other. Gallandius considers that he is called Damascenus, from his birth-place. The author of this Invective is to be distinguished from the more celebrated Joannes Damascenus [Damas- cenus], his contemporary, to whom perhaps the transcribers of the MSS., in prefixing the name Damascenus, intended to ascribe the work. 3.

The work was first printed in the Auctarium Novum of Combefis, vol. ii. fol. Paris, 1648, and was reprinted by Gallandius {ut sup. p. 358, &c.). Fabricius is dis- posed to identify the authors of Nos. 1 and 3 ; and treats No. 2 as the work of another and unknown writer ; but Gallandius, from internal evidence, endeavours to show that Nos. 2 and 3 are written by one person, but that No. 1. is by a different writer; and this seems to be the preferable opinion. He thinks there is also internal evidence that No. 3 was written in the year 770, and was subsequent to No. 2. (Fabric. Bibl. Gr. vol vii. p. 682 ; Gal- landius, BU)L Patrum f vol. xiii. Prolegomena^ c. 10, 15.) 75. Of Jerusalem (4), patriarch of Jerusalem, author of a life of Joannes Damascenus, Bios tov ialov TTUTpis •riJ.cev 'ludvvov tov AafjLaaKTjpov ffvy- ypa^els Trapd 'Iwdvvov iraTpidpxov 'IfpoaoXv/uLcov, Vita sancti Putris nostri Joannis Damasceni a Joanne Patriarcha Ilierosolymilano conscripta. The life is a translation from the Arabic, or at least founded upon an Arabic biography; and was written a considerable JOANNES. time after the death of Damascenus, which occurred about A. D. 756, or perhaps later [Damascenus Joannes], and after the cessation of the Icono- clastic contest, which may be regarded as having terminated on the death of the emperor Theophilus, A. D. 842. But we have no data for determining how long after these events the author lived. Le Quien identifies him with a Joannes, patriarch of Jerusalem, who was burnt alive by the Saracens in the latter part of the reign (a. d. 963—969) of Nicephorus Phocas, upon suspicion that he had excited that emperor to attack them. (Cedrenus, Compend. p. 661, ed. Paris, vol. ii. p. 374, ed. Bonn. ) The life of Joannes Damascenus was first published at Rome, with the orations of Damasce- nus, De Sacris Imaginibus, 8vo. Rome, 1553: it wag reprinted at Basel with the works of Damascenus a.d. 1575 ; and in the Acta Saiictorum Maii (a. d. 6), vol. ii. (the Latin version in the body of the work, p. Ill, &c., and the original in the Appendix, p. 723, &c.) ; and in the edition of the works of Damascenus by Le Quien, vol. i. fol. Paris, 1712. The Latin version is given (a. d. vi. Maii) in the Vitae Sanctorum of Lippomani, and the De Pro- batis Sanctorum Vitis of Surius. (Le Quien, Jo. Damasceni Opera, note at the beginning of the Vita S. Jo. Damasc. ; and Oriens Christiu?ius, vol. iii. p. 466 ; Fabric. Bibl. Gr. vol. ix. pp. 686, 689, vol. x. p. 261 ; Cave, Hist. Litt. vol. ii. p. 29.) 76. Of Jerusalem (5). There are several works extant in MSS. in different libraries, the authors of which are called Joannes Hierosolymi- tanus, especially two works apparently by the sjinie writer on the points of controversy between tiie Greek and Latin churches, 1 . ^ladwov UaTpidp- Xov T(2v 'lepoaoKv/xwu yos StaAe/criKos fj-ird Tivos AaTivov (pioa6(pov &v tiroi-^craTo iu 'lepotro- v/J.ois irepl Tcou d^vfiwv, Joannis Patriarchae Hierosolymitani Disputatio de Azymis, quam is in urbe Hierosolymitana cum philosopho quodam Latino habuit. 2. Joannes Patriarcha Hierosolyrnitanus, de Spiritu Sancto. Whether the work described as Joannis Patriarchae Hierosolymitani Liber contra Latinos {Catalog. MStorum Angliae et Hiberniae, vol. ii. pars i. p. 358, No. 9121) is one of the fore-i going works or a diff'erent one we have no means of ascertaining. The date of the writer is uncer- tain. Oudin fixes him early in the fifteenth cen- tury, when the projects of union between the two churches had revived and inflamed the controversies between them. (Cave, Hist. Litt. vol. ii. Dissert. Prima, p. 1 1 ; Fabric. Bibl. Gr. vol. xi. p. 656 ; Oudin, de Scriptor. et Sa-^iptis Eccles.yoX. iii. col. 2366.) 77. Joseph us. Theodoret {Dissert. MS. in Proplietas et Editiones, and Quaestio xxiv. in Exod, and Quaestio ot. in Josuam) mentions a Joannes Josephus {^lu)dvvT]s 'icoirrjiros) as having revised the Septuagint. Hody thinks it probable that he was the same as Josephus, a Christian [Josephus, No. 12], .and author of a work extjint in MS., entitled "TTrofj-vrta-TiKov, Hypomnesticum s. Commonitoriunij whom Cave {Hist. Litt. vol, i. p. 397) places in the year 420. (Hody, de Biblior. Tea-tibus Originalibtis^ iv. 3. § 3 ; Usher, rfe Edit. LXX.
