Scholasticus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scholasticus was an Exarch of Ravenna (713-726).

In 713 he was appointed as exarch, the same year Anastasius became Byzantine Emperor, and overthrew the Monothelite Emperor Philippicus. Scholasticus was charged with giving a letter to Pope Constantine which described Anastasius' allegiance to orthodoxy, helping to heal the rift between Rome and Constantinople. He was replaced in 726 as exarch by Paul.
