ZONARAS, JOANNES (JOHN)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 1002 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
ZONARAS, JOANNES (JOHN) , Byzantine chronicler and theologian, flourished at
Constantinople
  in the 12th century. Under Alexius I. Comnenus he held the offices of
commander
  of tlae bodyguard and private secretary to the emperor, but in the succeeding reign he retired to Hagia Glykeria (one of the Princes' Islands), where he spent the rest of his life in writing books. His most important
work
 , 'E7r1royi 'Io-ropcwv (compendium of history), in eighteen books, extends from the creation of the world to the death of Alexius (1118). The earlier part is largely
drawn
  from Josephus; for Roman history he chiefly followed Dio
Cassius
 , whose first twenty books are not otherwise known to us. His history was continued by Nicetas Acominatus. Various ecclesiastical works have been attributed to Zonarascommentaries on the Fathers and the poems of Gregory of Nazianzus; lives of Saints; and a treatise on the
Apostolical
  Canonsand there is no reason to doubt their genuineness. The lexicon, however, which has been handed down under his name (ed. J. A. H. Tittmann 18o8) is probably the
work
  of a certain Antonius Monachus (
Stein
 's Herodotus, ii. 479 f.).
Complete edition in Migne, Patrologia Graeca, exxxiv. cxxxv. exxxvii. ; the Chronicon by M. Pinder and T. Btittner-Wobst in the
Bonn
  Corpus Scriptorum Hist. Bye. (184197) and by L. Dindorf in the Teubner
series
  (186876) ; see bibliography in C. Krumbacher, Geschichte der byzantinischen Litteratur (2nd ed. 1897).
