	John The Deacon (6th Century) John the Deacon (''fl.'' 500) was a deacon in the Church of Rome during the pontificate of Pope Symmachus (498–514). He is known only from an epistle he wrote to a Senarius, a ''vir illustris'' who had asked him to explain aspects of Christian initiatory practice. John's response provides a "rather full description" of the catechumenal process and initiation rites at Rome at the beginning of the 6th century. John describes his first-hand experience of the liturgical rites of initiation as practiced at Rome, and the theology behind them. Two specific rites, namely a cross traced on the forehead and a taste of blessed salt, marked the entrance into the catechumenate, "so the mind which is drenched and weakened by the waves of this world is held steady".Aidan Kavanagh, 1991 ''The Shape of Baptism: The Rite of Christian Initiation'' p. 59 John also covers prebaptismal exorcisms; the anointing of the ears, nostrils, and breast of the candidate; the use of milk and honey for first com ...

	John The Deacon (Egyptian Chronicler) John the Deacon was a Coptic Orthodox chronicler whose ''Life of the Patriarch Michael'', finished ''c.''768–70, is the most important source for Christian Nubia in the first half of the eighth century.P. L. Shinnie (1986), "Christian Nubia", ''The Cambridge History of Africa: From ''c''. 500 BC to AD 1050'', J. D. Fage and Roland Anthony Oliver, edd. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press), 556–88. His book, written in Coptic, was later translated into Arabic and incorporated as the second part of the '' History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria''., p. 16. John was a spiritual disciple of Bishop Moses of Awsim, one of the most revered Coptic churchmen of his age. The later historian Sawirus ibn al-Muqaffaʿ made heavy use of John's ''Life'', and although John is one of the only sources for the time and place, he is not always reliable. For instance, he records a Nubian invasion of Egypt that reached as far as Fustat in 745, after the Egyptians refused to release Michael, Patri ...

	John The Deacon (Neapolitan Historian) John the Deacon (died after 910) was a religious writer who held a diaconate in the church of Saint Januarius Outside the Walls at Naples. From his writings appears to have been very learned. He wrote several historical works, important sources of information for the history of his time. He first wrote a continuation of the diocesan chronicle of Naples ('' Gesta episcoporum Neapolitanorum''), begun by another cleric, but which he brings down from 762 to 872. He makes use of both written and oral tradition, and contributes from personal knowledge. The narrative is graphic and spirited, and impresses the reader as a frank and accurate story. He also wrote a history of the translation in the fifth century of the remains of St. Severinus, the Apostle of Noricum, from the Castellum Lucullanum in the Bay of Naples to a new monastery within the city. This work contains the important account of the destruction of Taormina in Sicily by the Saracens under Ibrahim, and of the martyrdom of ...

	John The Deacon (Venetian Chronicler) John the Deacon ( or ''Giovanni da Venezia''; 940–45 – died after 1018) was a Venetian deacon, secretary to the doge of Venice and a chronicler. The Venetian chronicle According to the Catholic Encyclopedia (1913): The oldest chronicle of Venice, known as the '' Chronicon Sagornini'', was compiled by deacon John, the chaplain and perhaps a relative of the Doge Pietro II Orseolo (991–1009). John enjoyed the confidence of this doge, and was often sent as his ambassador to Holy Roman Emperors Otto III and Henry II. In the first part of his chronicle, which deals with the early period of the republic, the narrative is often confused and deficient; later it becomes more accurate and complete, and for the time in which the writer himself lived it is particularly valuable. He carries the narrative to 1008 and treats in detail of the reign of Pietro Orseolo. John's chronicle is a key primary source for the history of Slavic peoples and polities in Dalmatia during the 9th and 10th ...
