(), chartophylax magnae ecclesiae
at Constantinople, was a friend and contemporary of George of Cyprus, patriarch of
Constantinople GEORGIUS, literary, No. 20]. He took a leading part in opposition to
the doctrine of the Latin church on the procession of the Holy Spirit, and to the
distinguished advocate of that church, Joannes Beccus or Veccus. He seems, however, to have
had little weight even with his own party.
He published several treatises in opposition to Veccus, to which the latter ably replied; but neither the attacks of the one nor the answers of the other seem to be preserved.
There is a letter of Moschampar to his friend George of Cyprus.
