John III of Constantinople
John Scholasticus was a
patriarch of Constantinople from
565 to
577. He organized a compromise between the Chalcedonians and
Monophysites in
567, and temporarily reunited the two sects in
571 until the Monophysites rejected the doctrines of the
Council of Chalcedon once more later that year. He was also credited for methodical classification of the
Canon law under fifty heads.
