Sophronius I Of Constantinople
Sophronius I of Constantinople (; died after 1464) was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from June 1463 to August 1464. The dates of his reign are disputed by scholars in a range from 1462 to 1464. Life Almost nothing is known about the life and the patriarchate of Sophronius I. It is known an act with his name dated August 1464 which certified a cross belonged to Emperor David of Trebizond, the document is probably a forgery, but it confirms us that Sophronius I was actually the patriarch. According to Blanchet, who places the reign of Sophronius after Joasaph I's, he was Metropolitan of Heraclea before being elected patriarch. One primary source designates Sophronius I with the name ''Syropoulos''. Thus it was conjectured, but not proven, that Sophronius was indeed Sylvester Syropoulos, the Orthodox cleric who participated at the Council of Florence and who wrote a chronicle of it. Sylvester Syropoulos belonged to the faction which was in favor of the East-West Union o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (, ; ; , "Roman Orthodox Patriarchate, Ecumenical Patriarchate of Istanbul") is one of the fifteen to seventeen autocephalous churches that together compose the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Council Of Florence
The Council of Florence is the seventeenth ecumenical council recognized by the Catholic Church, held between 1431 and 1445. It was convened in territories under the Holy Roman Empire. Italy became a venue of a Catholic ecumenical council after a gap of about 2 centuries (the last ecumenical council to be held in Italy was the 4th Council of the Lateran in Rome's Lateran Palace). It was convoked in Basel as the Council of Basel by Pope Martin V shortly before his death in February 1431 and took place in the context of the Hussite Wars in Bohemia and the rise of the Ottoman Empire.
