John The Deacon (6th Century)
John the Deacon ('' fl.'' 500) was a deacon in the Church of Rome during the pontificate of Pope Symmachus (498–514). He is known only from an epistle he wrote to a Senarius, a ''vir illustris'' who had asked him to explain aspects of Christian initiatory practice. John's response provides a "rather full description" of the catechumenal process and initiation rites at Rome at the beginning of the 6th century. He covers prebaptismal exorcisms; the ritual use of salt;See also Tridentine Mass of the Catechumens. the anointing of the ears, nostrils, and breast of the candidate; the use of milk and honey for first communion First Communion is a ceremony in some Christian traditions during which a person of the church first receives the Eucharist.

John The Deacon (Egyptian Chronicler)
John the Deacon was a Monophysite Egyptian chronicler whose ''Life of the Patriarch Michael'', finished ''c.''768–70, is the most important source for Christian Nubia in the first half of the eighth century.P. L. Shinnie (1986), "Christian Nubia", ''The Cambridge History of Africa: From ''c''. 500 BC to AD 1050'', J. D. Fage and Roland Anthony Oliver, edd. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press), 556–88. His book, written in Coptic, was later translated into Arabic and incorporated as the second part of the ''History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria''., p. 16. John was a spiritual disciple of Bishop Moses of Awsim, one of the most revered Coptic churchmen of his age. The later historian Sawirus ibn al-Muqaffaʿ made heavy use of John's ''Life'', and although John is one of the only sources for the time and place, he is not always reliable. For instance, he records a Nubian invasion of Egypt that reached as far as Fustat in 745, after the Egyptians refused to release Michael, Pa ...

Johannes Hymonides
Johannes Hymonides, known as John the Deacon of Rome (d. between 876 and 882), was a deacon of the Roman Church. Few details are known of his life: after the death of St Nicholas I, he was briefly exiled from Rome at the behest of the emperor Louis II, but was recalled by Adrian II. Possessed of considerable learning, he was closely associated with Anastasius, Librarian of the Roman Church (died 879). At the instance of Pope John VIII (872-82), John wrote a life of St. Gregory the Great, making use of the works of this pope and above all of extracts made at an earlier date from the pope's letters in the archives of the Roman Church. The work is divided into four books: in the first he gives an account of the life of Gregory up to the time of his pontificate; in the second, of his activities as pope; in the third, of his teachings; and in the fourth, of his progress in perfection. The life was most recently edited by the Maurists. For John VIII, John also composed in 876 an ada ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John The Deacon (Neapolitan Historian)
John the Deacon (d. after 910) was a religious writer and deacon, or head of a diaconate at the church of Saint Januarius in Naples. He flourished towards the end of the ninth and the beginning of the tenth century, and from his writings appears to have been a very learned and accomplished cleric. He wrote several historical works, important sources of information for the history of his time. He first wrote a continuation of the diocesan chronicle of Naples (Gesta episcoporum Neapolitanorum'), begun by another cleric, but which he brings down from 762 to 872. He makes use of both written and oral tradition, and contributes from personal knowledge. The narrative is graphic and spirited, and impresses the reader as a frank and accurate story. He also wrote a history of the translation in the fifth century of the remains of St. Severinus, the Apostle of Noricum, from the Castellum Lucullanum in the Bay of Naples to a new monastery within the city. This work contains the important accoun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John The Deacon (Venetian Chronicler)
John the Deacon ( it, Giovanni Diacono or ''Giovanni da Venezia''; 940–45 – died after 1018) was a Venetian deacon, secretary to the doge of Venice and a chronicler. The Venetian chronicle According to the Catholic Encyclopedia (1913): The oldest chronicle of Venice, known as the '' Chronicon Sagornini'', was compiled by deacon John, the chaplain and perhaps a relative of the Doge Pietro II Orseolo (991–1009). John enjoyed the confidence of this doge, and was often sent as his ambassador to Holy Roman Emperors Otto III and Henry II. In the first part of his chronicle, which deals with the early period of the republic, the narrative is often confused and deficient; later it becomes more accurate and complete, and for the time in which the writer himself lived it is particularly valuable. He carries the narrative to 1008 and treats in detail of the reign of Pietro Orseolo. John's chronicle is a key primary source for the history of Slavic peoples and polities in Dalmatia d ...
