CIPARISSIOTA, GIOVANNI. - Byzantine writer of the 14th century, also known by the title of "Sapiente". He left two famous writings, one of them remaining almost entirely unpublished, namely the Palamite Transgressions (ms. 1246 of Paris), published in part by Combéfis (Auctarium novissimum, II, 68-105; PG 152, 633-738). The Expositio elementaris eorum quae a theologis de Deo dicuntur was edited and translated by Turrianus (PG 152, 741-992), from a codex of Messina. C. polemicizes with rare competence against the errors of Palamism (v.), of which he was one of the most effective opponents.
