From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Constantine Acropolites (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Ἀκροπολίτης, "Konstantinos Akropolitês"), son of George Acropolites, was also a minister of Paleologus, until he was disgraced. Under Andronicus, however, he was again in favor. Like his father, too, he wrote much on theology (an odd practice for a minister of state), especially on the more recondite doctrines, such as the procession of the Holy Ghost. In compiling lives of saints he was more usefully employed—that of St. John of Damascus is in the huge collection of Jean Bolland.
