Cosmas II of Constantinople (AtticusGreek:Κοσμᾶς ὁ Ἀττικός; died after 1147) wasEcumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from April 1146 until 26 February 1147. He was born inAegina, in Greece, and was adeacon ofHagia Sophia before his ascension, afterMichael II of Constantinople abdicated. He was highly respected for his learning and for his holy character.^[1] Cosmas II reigned during the rule ofByzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos.^[2]

Deposition

[edit]

Cosmas II was condemned and deposed on 26 February 1147 by asynod held at thePalace of Blachernae because of indulgence in relation to themonk Niphon, a condemnedBogomil since 1144, whom he received in his home and at his table.^[3]

The exact reasons for the conviction and deposition of Cosmas II are not clearly established; perhaps he was the victim of political intrigue.^[4] It is clear however that Emperor Manuel I intervened directly in forming the Synod that deposed Cosmas II, interviewing personally those who accused him, and testing Cosmas II directly on his opinions of the heretical Niphon.^[5] This affair is typical both of the doctrinal controversies common in the reign of Manuel I and also of the Emperor's readiness to become actively involved in them.^[6]
