Janus Plousiadenos was a 15th century Greek Renaissance scholar, hymnographer and composer, Plousiadenos was in favor of the Union of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches and wrote extensively on the subject. The 1455 Defensio synodi Florentinae, often misattributed to Gennadius Scholarius is in fact his work. Plousiadenos was also an avid composer and hymnographer and dedicated several of his works to his friend and fellow Greek scholar Cardinal Bessarion.[1]
