MANASSES, CONSTANTINE ,
Byzantine
  chronicler, flourished in the 12th
century
  during the reign of
Manuel
  I. (Comnenus) (11431180). He was the author of a Chronicle or historical synopsis of events from the creation of the world to the end of the reign of Nicephorus Botaniates (1o8r), written by direction of Irene, the emperor's
sister
 -in-law. It consists of about 7000 lines in the so-called " political " metre). There is little to be said of it, except that it is rather more poetical than the iambic chronicle of Ephraim (about 150 years later). It obtained
great
  popularity and appeared in a free
prose
 
translation
 ; it was also translated into Slavonic. The poetical romance of the Loves of Aristander and Callithea, also in "political" verse, is only known from the fragments preserved in the `Po&wvia (rose-
garden
 ) of Macarius Chrysocephalus (14th
century
 ). Manasses also wrote a short
biography
  of Oppian, and some descriptive pieces (all except one unpublished) on artistic and other subjects.
