DEMETRIUS COMAZIANOS. - Archbishop of Ohrid in 1216-17; d. ca. 1234. He failed in his attempts to prevent the schism of the Serbian Church in 1220. When Theodore Doukas Angelos of Epirus conquered Thessalonica (1222), D. consecrated him emperor of the West, which aroused the indignation of the patriarch Germanus II.The defeat of Theodore in 1223 wrecked D.'s plans to become patriarch.

D.'s writings are numerous, especially in the field of Byzantine law. His letters are of special interest for history. D.'s works were published by J. B. Pitra, Analecta sacra et classica, VI, Rome 1891.
