| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nicephorus Blemmida |
 | | Blemmida was the author of several poems, of letters, of a work on the duties of an emperor, of two autobiographies, of two geographical works, of philosophical writings on logic and physics, and of a rule of life for his monks. |
 | | One of these orations was addressed to Jacob, Archbishop of Bulgaria; the other to Theodore Lascaris. |
 | | In both he proved, from passages of Athanasius, Basil, Gregory Nazianzen, Gregory of Nyssa, Cyril of Alexandria and other Fathers, that the procession of the Holy Ghost from Father and Son, or from the Father through the Son, was genuine Catholic doctrine. |
