Antonius Melissa
Antonius Melissa
a Greek monk toward the end of the eighth century (?). He made a collection (something after the manner of Stobaeus) of passages from the classics and from the church fathers, ranging the materials under seventy- six titles. It was first printed by Gesner (Zurich, 1546, fol.), and is given also at the end of Stobaeus (Francf. 1581), and also in the Bibliotheca Patrum, t. v. Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, 1, 823.
