	Theophanes - LoveToKnow 1911
		Theophanes refused, and, after two years' imprisonment, was banished to the island of Samothrace, where he died.
		At the request of his dying friend, George the Syncellus, Theophanes undertook to continue his Chronicle, which he carried on from the accession of Diocletian to the downfall of Michael I. Rhangabes (284-813).
		In chronology, in addition to reckoning by the years of the world and the Christian era, Theophanes introduces in tabular form the regnal years of the Roman emperors, of the Persian kings and Arab caliphs, and of the five oecumenical patriarchs, a system which leads to considerable confusion.

		Theophanes was born the Byzantine Empire and then worked in Constantinople.
		Theophanes was described by the Muscovites as "learned in philosophy", a reflection on his broad education and erudition.
		The balance of mathematical harmony in line and shape, wed to a master's use of an earthtone palette and precious gold leaf, evokes a spirituality that is immensely powerful, and speaks to the genius of this relatively unknown painter.

		Theophanes the Greek (in Russian Feofan Grek), painter from Constantinople, active mainly in Russia.
		Theophanes is known to have carried out commissions in Moscow between 1395 and 1405, but none of his work there survives except some icons for the Cathedral of the Annunciation, which were painted with the help of assistants and are poorly preserved.
		Theophanes made a great impression on painting in Novgorod and Moscow in the 15th century, notably on Rublyov.

	The Campaigns of Emperor Herakleios, according to the Chronicle of Theophanes Confessor
		The narrative of Theophanes' contribution therefore runs from the Roman imperial restoration of the Tetrarchs to the world of the iconoclast Byzantine emperors, the Abbasid caliphates, and the Carolingian emperors.
		Theophanes covers much of the geographical and temporal spread of late Antiquity, and his Chronicle is a valuable companion to the study of the period.
		Much of the material in the latter part of the Chronicle is unique, but the earlier section, up to the beginning of the seventh century, consists largely of selections from sources (some of the most important of which were in turn compendia of earlier works) which are either extant or for which close comparanda exist.

	Theophanes the Confessor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theophanes was born at Constantinople, of wealthy and noble iconodule parents: Isaac, imperial governor of the islands of the White Sea, and of Theodora, of whose family nothing is known.
		Theophanes was cast into prison and for two years suffered cruel treatment; he was then banished to Samothrace in 817, where overwhelmed with afflictions, he lived only seventeen days and is credited with many miracles after his death, probably 12 March, the day he is commemorated in the Roman Martyrology.
		Theophanes' chronicle of world events, covering events from the accession of Diocletian in 284 (the point where the chronicle of George Syncellus ends) to the downfall of Michael I Rhangabes in 813, is valuable for preserving the accounts of lost authorities on Byzantine history that would be otherwise lost for the seventh and eighth centuries.

	septimus_rivit: Prelude: Borijin and Theophanes
		Theophanes made an excuse to the seneschal that it would be necessary for him to meditate and pray for some while in complete solitude to ensure his mental and spiritual purity, and took himself off to his workshop for some hours.
		Theophanes lit incense, anointed the deceased's corpse, and spoke in low tones in Aramaic, Demotic and any other language he knew to be alien to his listeners, the eunuchs and the seneschal.
		Theophanes, however good he may have been as a charlatan, and latterly, as a genuine mystic, was unschooled in the arts of administration.

	ELECTRONIC ANTIQUITY V4N2
		Theophanes was almost the archetypical medieval compiler, drawing from sources which, generally, he changed as little as possible.
		Theophanes' Chronicle was the last work to combine narrative and rigid chronographic form in the tradition of Eusebius (or more accurately, in the tradition of Eusebius's continuators, none of whom other than Jerome attempted to maintain Eusebius's format of parallel columns for coeval kingdoms).
		For this period, Theophanes becomes a primary source, valuable for the court politics of Constantinople and for the relations of the Byzantine empire with the Caliphate, the Bulgarians, and the early Carolingians.

	Theophanes
		Michael and his two disciples, the brothers Theodore and Theophanes, originally left Jerusalem in 813 on a journey to Rome, sent by the Patriarch of Jerusalem to support the Pope in his stand against the Franks over the question of the filioque, which some Benedictines from the West had recently introduced to Jerusalem.
		Theophanes was appointed metropolitan of Nicea and Michael abbot of the monastery of Chora, where he died just two months after Theophanes in January 846.
		As a hymnographer St Theophanes belongs to the tradition of the monastery of Mar Sabbas, near Bethlehem, which includes many of the greatest writers of canons, including St Andrew of Crete, St Kosmas Maïouma and St John of Damascus.

	Culture of Novgorod - Page 13
		Theophanes the Greek spent over thirty years of his life in Russia, teaching much to Russian painters but at the same time learning from them.
		Like many other foreign artists who came to Russia after him, Theophanes fell under the spell of the Russian artistic tradition, which he, in turn, enriched with much that was new and vitally important, from the stock of his rich Byzantine experience.
		In speaking of Theophanes, Epiphanius the Wise makes use of the term isographos (from the Greek words isos, equal, and graphein, to draw), which may be broadly rendered as "one who is perfect in depiction".

	Roman Emperors - DIR Constantine V Copronymus
		Theophanes presents Artabasdus as the innocent party, and plays up the factor of icons, but both aspects of his account can be questioned.
		It seems more likely that this was a deliberate coup launched by a strong candidate (as Nikephoros 64 relates); Artabasdus had a distinguished career, military backing, and imperial credentials through his wife Anna (the daughter of Leo III and the sister of Constantine V), by whom he already had two sons, Niketas and Nikephoros.
		Theophanes is more negative about Constantine's record than Nikephoros, but it is still clear that the emperor scored major victories at Anchialos in 763 and Lithosoria in 774.
