St Nonnus
Nonnus ( grc-gre, Νόννος, ''Nónnos'') was legendary 4th- or 5th-century Christian saint, said to have been an Egyptian monk who became a bishop in Syria and was responsible for the conversion of St Pelagia the harlot during one of the Synods of Antioch. His feast day is observed on November 10. Name The name Nonnus was a Levantine one, with eight of the nine Nonni listed in the Acts of the councils of Chalcedon and Ephesus from that area. Some claim it to be a latinization or hellenization of an Egyptian title equivalent to " saint". Legend A hagiography of St Pelagia attributed to James or Jacob ( la, Jacobus), deacon of the church of Heliopolis (modern Baalbek), states that Nonnus was "a perfect monk" from Tabenna or "Tabennesum" in Egypt who, "by reason of his virtuous life", became bishop of Heliopolis, converting "all its inhabitants" and baptizing Arabs. The monks of Ramsgate place his see at Edessa. As Nonnus addressed a church council in An ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nonnus Of Edessa
Nonnus ( grc-gre, Νόννος, ''Nónnos'') was a bishop of Edessa in the mid-5th century. Life Nonnus was preceded as bishop of Edessa by Ibas (Donatus), who was irregularly deposed. Ibas was deposed on 1 January 448 and Nonnus enthroned as his replacement on 21 July 448. Some sources give him as the bishop at Edessa until his death in 471, while the Chronicle of Edessa states that Nonnus left the see in 450 and did not return until Bishop Ibas's death on 28 October 457. Ibas was held in prison but freed on 27 October 451, the earlier proceedings against him having been found irregular and unjustified. Nonnus is often conflated with the St Nonnus, the legendary bishop of Heliopolis ( Baalbek) who appears in the hagiographies of St Pelagia. Similarly, he is sometimes conflated with the Egyptian Christian epic poet Nonnus of Panopolis Nonnus of Panopolis ( grc-gre, Νόννος ὁ Πανοπολίτης, ''Nónnos ho Panopolítēs'', 5th century CE) was the mos ...

Nonnus (historian)
Nonnosus ( el, Νόννοσος, translit=Nónnosos) was an ambassador sent by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I to the king of the Axumites (in Ethiopia and parts of the Arabian Peninsula) around 530 CE. He wrote an account of that visit, now lost, that was read and summarized by Byzantine patriarch Photius Photios I ( el, Φώτιος, ''Phōtios''; c. 810/820 – 6 February 893), also spelled PhotiusFr.

Theophanes Nonnus
Theophanes Chrysobalantes ( el, Θεοφάνης Χρυσοβαλάντης, ), erroneously known as Theophanes Nonnus or Nonnos in older scholarship, was a Byzantine physician who wrote an outline of medicine dedicated to Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos. Identity The extant manuscripts identify the author as Theophanes; the name ''Nonnus'' was apparently fabricated by the 16th-century copyist Andreas Darmarios. The name Chrysobalantes was either an epithet or a variant of the documented Byzantine family name Chrysobalantites. Some copies of the manuscripts are anonymous or identify the author incorrectly as Michael Psellos. Theophanes was likely a physician himself. Two works reference him as their author: * An outline of past medical treatises with some original material by Chrysobalantes himself, known by the Latin Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages.

Nonus
Nonus () is a Latin ''praenomen'', or personal name. It was never particularly common at Rome, but may have been used more frequently in the countryside. Although not attested in surviving Latin inscriptions, the name must have been used occasionally, as it gave rise to the patronymic ''gens Nonia''. The feminine form is ''Nona''. Nonus was probably not used frequently enough to acquire a regular abbreviation. Origin and meaning of the name Nonus is the Latin word for ''ninth'', and the name must originally have been used for a ninth child, a ninth son, or a ninth daughter. It belongs to the same class of praenomina as the masculine names ''Quintus, Sextus Sextus is an ancient Roman '' praenomen'' or "first name".
