Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
METOCHITA, THEODORE [THEODOxos METOCHITES1, a Byzantine author, man of learning and statesman, who flourished during the reign of Andronicus II. Paiaeologus (1282-1328). After the deposition of his patron by Andronicus III.,
Metochita
  was deprived of his office of
great
 
logothete
  (
chancellor
 ) and sent into
exile
 . He was soon recalled, but retired from political life to a convent, where he died in 1332. He was a man of very
great
  learning, only surpassed by Photius and Michael Psellus. His pupil Nicephorus Gregoras, who delivered his funeral oration, calls him a " living library."
Only a few of his numerous works have been preserved. The best known is 'Trovnarcaol real aryei6aeic yvwucal, Miscellanea philosophica et historica (ed. C. G. Muller and T. Kiessling, 1821), containing some 12o essays; for a
list
  of them see Fabricius, Bibliotheca graeca (ed. Harles), x. 417; in these he chiefly made use of Synesius. Of his rhetorical pieces two have been published by C. N. Sathas in Msuaiwvucil 13itniia8ipc, (1872), and two poems on religious subjects by M. Treu (1895). The poems, dealing mainly with contemporary and personal matters, are written in hexameter, not in the usual " political " verse.
Metochita
  was also the author of works on philosophical and astronomical subjects.
