CYPRIAN, ZAMBLAK. - Dissident metropolitan venerated as a saint by the Russian Church on Sept. 17, b. at Tirnovo (Bulgaria), d. in 1406. Having become a monk on Mount Athos, he was patriarch, consecrated by Philotheus metropolitan of Kiev and Lithuania, with the right of succession to the see of Moscow, which he obtained, not without obstacles, in 1390. He fought the strigolniki, heretics of Novgorod who denied the resurrection of the dead, and, in the face of liturgical decadence and growing nationalistic sentiment, he made the Byzantine orientation prevail. C. left behind dogmatic, juridical and hagiographic writings and a version in Old Church Slavonic of the liturgy of Philotheus.
