THEOPHYLACT (d. c.. 1110) , biblical commentator, was See also:born most probably at Euripus, in See also:Euboea, about the See also:middle of the 11th See also:century. He became a See also:deacon at See also:Constantinople, attained a high reputation as a See also:scholar, and became the See also:tutor of See also:Constantine Porphyrogenitus, son of the See also:Emperor See also:Michael VII., for whom he wrote The See also:Education of Princes (IIaiSeia (3aoaXucil). About 1078 he went into See also:Bulgaria as See also:archbishop of Achrida. In his letters he complains much of the See also:rude See also:manners of the Bulgarians, and he sought to be relieved of his See also:office, but apparently without success. His See also:death took See also:place after 1107. His commentaries on the Gospels, Acts, the Pauline epistles and the See also:Minor Prophets are founded on those of See also:Chrysostom, but deserve the considerable place they hold in exegetical literature for their appositeness, sobriety, accuracy and judiciousness. His other extant See also:works include 130 letters and various homilies and orations and other minor pieces. A careful edition of nearly all his writings, in See also:Greek and Latin, with a preliminary dissertation, was published in 1754–63 by J. F. B. M. de See also:Rossi (4 vols. fol., See also:Venice).
