Nicephorus, Monachus
Nicephorus, Monachus
an Eastern ascetic noted as an ecclesiastical writer, but little known, however, except as an author, flourished about 1100, according to P. Possinus. One Nicephorus, a monk, is the author of , De Custodia Cordis, a very interesting and valuable essay, which Possinus published in Greek and Latin, in his Thesaurus Asceticus (Paris, 1648, 4to).
