| Summary: | The article is concerned with the authorship of the encomium on the Apostle John (BHG 932c), usually attributed in the secondary literature to Constantine Akropolites. Based on internal evidence I suggest that the text should rather beascribed to Constantines' father, the historian George Akropolites. The comparison of the encomium with other genuine works of the latter offers further support to this assumption. |
