Diadochus bishop of Photia or Photiae (Epirus), lived about 460. Photius says (Cod. 201) that he had read a book of this bishop, containing ten definitions and a hundred chapters. Although this book has not come down unto our time, yet we have a translation from the Greek into Latin, made by the Jesuit Turrien under this title, S. Diadochi Episcopi Photiaes, Capita Centum de Pefectionae Spirituali, etc. (Florence, 1570; reprinted several times); but there is no evidence as to its authenticity. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
