APOSTOLIUS, MICHAEL (d. c. 1480)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 205 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
APOSTOLIUS, MICHAEL (d. c. 1480) , a Greek theologian and rhetorician of the 15th century. When, in 1453, the Turks conquered
Constantinople
 , his native city, he fled to Italy, and there obtained the
protection
  of Cardinal Bessarion. But engaging in the
great
  dispute that then raged between the up-holders of Aristotle and Plato, his zeal for the latter led him to speak so contemptuously of the more popular philosopher and of his defender,
Theodorus
  Gaza, that he fell under the severe displeasure of his patron. He afterwards retired to
Crete
 , where he earned a scanty living by teaching and by copying manuscripts. Many of his copies are still to be found in the libraries of Europe. One of them, the Icones of Philostratus at Bologna, bears the inscription: " The king of the poor of this world has written this book for his living." Apostolius died about 1480, leaving two sons, Aristobulus Apostolius and Arsenius. The latter became
bishop
  of Malvasia (Monemvasia) in the Morea.
Of his numerous works a few have been printed: Hapoestac (Basel, 1538), now exceedingly rare; a collection of
proverbs
  in Greek, of which a fuller edition appeared at Leiden, " Curante Heinsio," in 1619; " Oratio Panegyrica ad Fredericum III." in Freher's Scriptores Rerum Germanicarum, vol. ii. (Frankfort, 1624); Georgii Gemisthi Plethonis et Mich. Apostolii Orationes funebres duce in quibus de Immortalitate Animae exponitur (
Leipzig
 , 1793) ; and a
work
  against the Latin Church and the council of Florence in Le Moine's Varia Sacra.
