century A.U. His chief
work
:1< 46 from the creation of the world to the death of Alexius I. Comnenus (1118). It is extremely brief and written in a popular style, but too much space is devoted to theological and scientific matters. Glycas was also the author of a theological treatise and a number of letters on theological questions. A poem of some boo " political " verses, written during his imprisonment on a charge of slandering a neighbour and containing. an appeal to the emperor Manuel, is still extant. The exact nature of his offence is not known, but the answer to his appeal was that he was deprived of his eyesight by the emperor's orders. Editions: " Chronicle and Letters," in J. P. Migne, Patrologia Graeca, clviii.; poem in E. Legrand, Bibliothbque grecque vulgaire, i. ; see also F. Hirsch, Byzanlinische Studien (1876) ; C. Krumbacher in Sitzungsberichte bayer. Acad., 1894; C.
